“Merry Christmas homeboy you’re fired” is an all-time SNL punchline
“ you fired the man on Christmas, Colin..” 😂
I loved that. You could see it in Colin’s face as he saw the card. That was a perfect joke. Hearing Che laughing in the background all through the joke was icing on the cake.
It gets even better when you read the card.
@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ omfg, that would’ve been brutal to read live. I’m laughing so much right now
For true SNL feel follow up with "And to my agent, my director, and producers: Happy Hanukkah"
The cue card Colin didn’t read: “The Harriet Tubman biopic “Harriet” was released last month, and then luckily, re-captured and returned to its owner.”
Lynnae Strait F U C K
lol! I hadn't noticed that (I'm listening to these, not watching). Thanks for posting this!
Hoooooooly shit. What a segment
Che goes HARD
That joke was so racist omg lmao
Colin: this is all I good fun! Michael: *I’m bout to end this man’s whole career.*
Career... life... ⚖
forget career Colin's gonna get murdered
@@taakotuesdays “…a Comedian died in New York today…”
These joke swaps make my day. Watching Che force Jost to say the most racist jokes ever is the best thing ever.
It's like "Jokes Seth Can't Tell" 😁
Funniest thing about this sketch is Colin’s face of defeat after he finishes the joke. Defeated.
And how he reads it so slowly and carefully....🤣
So hilarious!!!
no other comment section guy, the funniest thing is the joke that the dude holding the cue card says: "the Harriet Tubman biopic "Harriet" was released last month. and then, luckily, re-captured and returned to its owner."
Just completely gives up it’s hilarious 😆😂
It has been done, I am now transformed into racist
Colin has learned to read these jokes carefully now.
Bruv is on his toes like stefan was... until his release from rehab.. or was it jail.. either way the DJ was a plump Puerto Rican named Jamal who had a Jerry curl mixed with a high top fade. And the club was seriously either a jail or reclaimed rehab facility with the emergency lights still up and bars on the windoz... so it looked like a party stop on Marty mcfly lsd trip back to the fwuter. And its name was... Not important
Colin Jost is lucky it’s not an impractical jokers punishment at 2:40.
God loves you
Hi E I’m E E
Lawd help! Peace!
Good god Che is so brutal I love it
oh hey pd
ey wuzzup pd
Che is awesome.
God loves you
@@fauxbitties Which god loves me?
I really thought Colin finally won with that herpes joke, but Michael outdid himself again this year with that cue card joke. That was amazing.
Colin wins because, you know, Scarlett Johansson. In order to top that, Che would have to convince Beyonce to leave Jay-Z.
And the joke of the cue card itself was also brutal.
Every year, Colin always writes jokes about sex and Michael always writes ones about race
I mean....it's not like the other way around would work out well...but idk tho
Isn't christmas all about traditions?
@Toori Baba what is wrong with you
@@dietotaku more like what's RIGHT with him! He's onto something!!!
@@stevenjordens1 go watch steven crowder if you prefer sophisticated humor such as dressing up like an Asian person wirh buck teeth and stretched eyes.
Let's be honest. We all waited for this single segment all year 😂😂
Santosh Srinivasan helllllll yes. It’s marked off on the calendar. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, and it was too short. We need more! 😆
I was worried I missed it when they didn't do it last week
Santosh Srinivasan truuuu
Santosh Srinivasan yes
Colin will never learn that Che doesn't fight fair.
Che is just funnier than Jost
@@gr8esthandleever Irrelevant to my original comment
Che isn't that funny, have you seen his stand up? It's ok to throw in one or 2 race jokes but when that's all you got it makes him seem limited.
@@thein-famouselguapo15 Dude. He's trolling. Don't feed into it.
He did up his game with the herpes joke so he got that going for him (at least until Che pulls out the good ol race card lol)
Colin: lol at this joke, I’m gonna make Che say “coming” Che: I’m actually trying to ruin your life
I hope Colin and Michael stay a duo for the rest of their careers. I never want to see these dudes split up.
Both are great no matter what they do. Before SNL, Che would appear on podcasts such as Round Table of Gentlemen alongside great comedians like Kevin Barnett (RIP). Kevin's death was the reason Che signed off as Bird Luger on Weekend Update that one time (A reference to Kevin's Round Table alias).
Colin and Michael are the new JD and Turk. Finest bromance!
i hope they never break up either, what a power couple!
@@craffaele you mean Gus and Sean, don't you?
No doubt. They're great together.
Usually I give it to Che hands down, but Colin had some extra good ones this year! :-O the cure for cancer joke was really well done X-D che's reaction lol
Colin's jokes are usually corny but the herpes one was the funniest.
Yes he really got him this year!
shunkela the Popeyes chicken sandwich joke was out of line lol
I might have to steal the cancer line
Che is all about race.....Jost tailors the jokes to Che as a man. Che just goes for let's make the white man look racist jokes
Best part of this: the joke he wrote about Harriet Tubman was probably the best one 🤣
I read it. Can you explain?
Idk, the black Superman jokes killed the hell out of me
the mlk stuff was holy jeez
@@Clone4082the Nigerian one killed me
@@divaalfirman3295Harriet Tubman was a slave who started an escape tunnel for other slaves
You can tell that they are such horribly, awfully, wonderfully good friends. Wasn’t Michael Che a groomsman or best man at Colin Jost’s wedding?
Stan Markwoo supposedly he’s planning Colin’s bachelor party but Scarlett has like playfully forbidden anything “crazy”
@@theplourde Playfully my ass. She means it
If you read this whole thread, it could be a skit for Weekend Update if Michael Che said it.
I love how every time they do this Colin tries to get more harsh, but he’ll never beat Che.
@C W shut up dipshit
Or Colin could just be funnier? Lots of comedians are hilarious without touching on race, only the lazy blame PC culture on their lack of humor.
@@charlottep4222 Exactly. Why can't people ever accept that fact?
@shugo104 naw it's like comparing grapes to grapefruit.. your analogy works though, dont get me wrong... che's obviously got an upper hand but it may be his perspective that one day may also be his downfall.. who's to say tho? And Colin got a touch too vicious with Michael about the conditions of his private life... my opinion tho.
@@sillygoose635 chill dude. Don't throw shade yall ain't a palm tree.
"Also ill be auctioning off the bat I use to keep my neighborhood white" yooooooo I've never been this weak. Colin's reaction after he said White, to I'm in tears, I love when they do these joke swaps, this was another great one. I need a Kleenex 😭
The best part was that the joke didn’t have an obvious set up. The twist didn’t come until the very last word.
Ok ok ok, I feel like there is a joke lying around with that Kleenex and a climax
One day, Che is going to mess with Colin by actually having a bunch of nice, safe jokes for him, and then be super offended by all the retaliatory jokes Colin gave him when he was just trying to embrace the spirit of the holidays 😂
"Merry Christmas, homeboy. You're fired." 😂😂😂
Colin: “The idea this year is to make it fun and not try to ruin anyone’s career or get them stabbed on the subway or backstage at the Eddie Murphy show.” Michael “We’ll see what happens.” YES. 🤣
ps1mrlee Michael Che gives Colin racist jokes and then is like: “Damn Colin has no chill”
Oh o
Dadgummitt, ps1, don't you know how to edit out those extra blank lines that KZhead moronically inserts into your message after you post it?
Che: I'm about to ruin this man's whole career.
These segments really expose Colin's blatant, rampant racism...
The Popeye’s Chicken sandwich/ Mayor Pete gag had me rolling
Another racist reference. But I'm sure Donald Trump would never eat Popeye's Fried Chicken.
@@RCmack He'd only eat at a place called Eye-gouge's but not Popeye's.
Let me just say that there is nothing special about popeye's chicken sandwich. It tastes like their chicken tenders in a hamburger bun, with pickles and mayonnaise.
They came out of the gate with that one and it took me out. Although alot of different people were in those lines, I get the stereotype.
Especially since Collin and Mayor Pete were college house mates at Harvard.
If anyone's wondering, that dude who was holding up the cue card has been in a few Cold Openings, and he's always funny. Hope he gets his big break
That his only job
thank you captain! I was wondering if it was a random set up
His name is Gary and he's a writer on the show
That dude is hilarious and needs to be a cast member. He was on the Kit Harrington monologue and caught my attention immediately.
Are you that dude? Sounds like something he would say.
At some point this became just them punishing each other; and it's comedy gold.
THIS IS THE SEGMENT I WAIT FOR EVERY YEAR!!!!
That bat joke almost killed me.
That was the most brutal take down I've heard yet!
The bat is used for that purpose too 🙊
Then stay out of Colin's neighborhood!
@@pigs18 ????
@@pigs18 😂😂😂
“Merry Christmas homeboy you’re fired” 💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀
When Che responds after Colin reads one of the horribly racist jokes with, “WOW!” 😂
So happy they did another joke swap. Now I got everything I wanted for Christmas 😁
Please, please, please, don’t stab Colin on the subway
Scarjo will keep him safe
Yes, save it for the after party.
Pffft as if Headshot takes the subway, the rich bastid
Y’all cold, just cold 😁
Mokiki will protect him.
The best!! Merry Christmas to all of us who wait for this each year
Yes, even for the homeboy who got fired, lol
It's stuff like this that makes a bond unbreakable. It was meant for them to work together and we are forever grateful. I live for these joke swaps.
Merry Christmas homeboy you're fired I think Jost won this year
Is this a whoosh?
Am I a whoosh?
Che wrote that one
The cancer herp joke is the funniest thing I heard in 2019
The Harriet Tubman biopic "Harriet" was released last month. and then luckily, re-captured and returned to it's owner
probably a good idea to put quotations around that lol
Lmbo! I didn’t know why you wrote this until I rewatched. 😂😂😂
"its", not "it's" (it is)
You can tell that Colin is at least partially genuinely concerned about Che's jokes getting him murder
Did you see that video of them talking about how che told everyone online that jost was attacking and bullying him at work? And everyone was like giving him advice about not blaming himself, and flipping out on Jost? 😅
The joke swaps are my absolute favorite!
Jennifer Stanfield so true
"I can't work like this...so Merry Christmas homeboy, you're fired!"
"You fired the man on Christmas Colin" 😂
Che is gonna get Collin killed. Just one day in the subway, Collin is gonna get shanked and a guy is gonna say, “man, that’s for firin’ ma homeboy on Christmas!” Oh dear lord, I was dying at that part
Damn, Colin actually had him this time. Until that last one😂😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️
Omg, the cue card that the black guy was holding, says at the end “re-captured and returned to its owner “ so I have a good feeling this was a slave joke, lol. 😅😅
It was about Harriet Tubman biopic.
Maaaan Che is gonna get Colin killed 😂😂😂 I spat my drink out when I read the cue card 🤣🤣
I think they were reading teleprompters and the guy holding the cue card was a prop. That’s why he said he wouldn’t read it, not because it was racist, but because there’s a black man holding my cue card.
@@p3rrypm I realised such. But I think Che knew the cameraman would still capture the guy and hence knew us fans would pause and read the cue card haa
"Also, I'll be auctioning off the bat I used to keep my neighborhood white" BRUTAL! I died!
"Merry Christmas homeboy. You're fired." 😂😂😂
This sketch is always my best gift of the year.
You need to do "joke swap" every week.. Best gag ever!!
These two brought a whole new charm to Weekend Update...
I love these two so much, it is so refreshing to have two hosts who truly know how to have fun with this segment.
What better way to end the year than with this segment?
Collin finally got his revenge 😂brutal!
Don’t care ... Che’ and Jost are the BEST weekend update anchors ever.
You’re right, but Seth is a close second
Hands down
Tina & Jimmy were pretty funny, too.
That was the best skit of the night. I still have tears in my eyes. They need to do this more often. Man O Man.
It's the last week of the year & Weekend update is officially Tweaking tf out. Lmao😂🤣🤣🤣
i've been waiting since the end of last season for this segment again bless
Oh these two are so adorable, trying to out-prank each other on air. That might just be the cutest christmas tradition I've ever seen.
I really love their friendship and the fact that it produces things like this.
Lmao the agony makes it funnier
These two are becoming SNL Legends. I think they’re the best anchors they shows ever had.
I agree. They have a great vibe together.
Norm Macdonald still beats them to me. The man made the show to me. These two are quite literally right behind him.
@@Darksky1001able yes, I miss him. This is a great duo, though.
I think this is LITERALLY THE FUNNIEST THING THAT I'VE EVER SEEN!!! My stomach HURTS from laughing so hard!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how they just go harder on each other each year. Can’t wait for the next one😂🤣
Reading the jokes they never read before were the best. 🤣🤣🤣
The Popeyes joke is even more funny when you realise that Colin and Pete Buttigeg were college roommates lol
Fr?!
and that colin played him in the debates
So the mispronunciation was totally intentional?
I just adore how much fun Che always seems to be having on these😂😂😂
I look forward to this skit every time I watch a episode. The chemistry is magic.
I’ve been waiting all year for this
They have the best bit on SNL. I look forward to this segment every year.
Colin and Michael are the best duo ever! They have me laughing so hard at work. Please don't split up.
Joke swap is the highlight of my Christmas. Favorite sketch ever!
Literally waiting for this the whole year...
No matter how many times I watch this skit, i always laugh my butt off. 🤣
These are the best snl segments. its good they only bless us with this once a year. Merry Christmas everyone.
this is GOLD these are the best jokes ive heard all year im lowkey crying
I think the jokes they write for each other make me laugh harder than anything they do during the season! I think they laugh harder also!😂😂😂
THESE WERE HILARIOUS! I actually belly laughed at each joke!
The actual joke on the cue card was much funnier. "The Harriet Tubman biopic "Harriet" was released last month. And then luckily, recaptured and returned to its owner." 🤣
Love these two. One of the best weekend update duo's in SNL history. 👏👏👏👏
Jost: I'm looking forward to our annual joke swap thing. It's all in good fun. Che: If you say so....
Who just doesn’t love watching more SNL stars break characters whenever it’s made possible even if it’s means breaking the fourth wall
OMG I so needed this!! the most I've laughed all year.. Thank you ! SNL
Merry Christmas homeboy you’re fired is a great line
Colin came out swinging this year😂
I didn't think Colin could come anywhere near Michael Chase uncomfortable jokes but the herpes one was pretty great! I mean Michael definitely beat him(cuz he so funny and good at his delivery)but at least he got a good joke in this time!
Ashley Burbank *Che’s
Love watching Weekend Update with these two. Best chemistry for sure!!!
These joke swaps are my favourite Weekend Update bit of the whole year, every year
“Merry Christmas homeboy you’re fired”
🤭😆😂
Merry Christmas homeboy, you're fired. 🤣💀😂
My favorite time of the year. I love it when they do the joke swap I wish they did it a lot more and not just once at the end of the year
Much better than last year, worth the wait. Expecting KZhead to recommend it about 20 times in the next year. Also expecting to watch it every time.
"Joke Swap" is my favorite bit all year. They did a version of it when they guested on the Tonight show some time back. They definitely know each other's "buttons"...
I’m convince this is pay back for Che not being able to throw Colin’s bachelor party 🤦🏿♀️😂😂
OMG I am crying! 🤣😂 This is one of the funniest things I have seen on SNL.
I love the joke swaps! How did I possibly miss this one!
I haven't laughed this much in a long time. Bravo gentlemen! I'ma go watch it again.
I'm glad SNL is so edgy. When "edgy" is done right (like Colin and Michael do it), it's hilarious.
This is edgy? You need to get out more
Even though this segment is once a year it is definitely worth the wait. Comedy Gold!!!
I very much need these two to continue doing things like this.
Best tradition ever. I’d rather watch this, than see any of my friends or family.
Toori Baba Okay boomer
@Toori Baba who are you and who hurt u?
These jokes are the best. I appreciate the laughs. I pity the fool who doesn’t see the humor.
Been waiting all year for this
I love when Che and Jost do this to each other lolol!
