The pair's insistence ultimately had Rudd thinking seriously about the prospect of grandchildren. News segment "Weekend Update" carried on without co-host Colin Jost. Tiny Fey stepped in as his temporary replacement, joining regular Michael Che onstage, surrounded by poinsettias.
The two then went joke-for-joke, with Che quipping about O. Simpson's recent discharge from parole , which stemmed from a robbery conviction.
I did it, " Che said. Che wondered aloud why he and Thompson, both Black, were "the only cast members here" amid strict Covid precautions. Fey referenced the U. Food and Drug Administration's decision to allow abortion pills to be sent my mail anywhere in the United States, including to states that have severely restricted the right. Colin Jost took over as head writer and Weekend Update anchor in , though he stepped down from the head writer job for a while before Season He may be a talented joke writer, but there's something off-putting about him.
Maybe it's that he's as smirky as any of SNL's other preppy Update anchors, but without having their chops. It also might be that he's in the wrong era: Comedy audiences have never cared less about the opinions of rich white guys from Harvard.
Jost is better the more he loosens up, banters with Michael Che and has a sense of humor about himself. He's worse when he's posing for photos while golfing or writing mediocre New Yorker pieces. However, no other Update anchor married Scarlett Johansson, so we're sure he won't sweat this ranking. Horatio Sanz filled in at the Update desk for the first two episodes of Season 31, alongside Amy Poehler, while Tina Fey was out on maternity leave. Sanz did fine behind the desk, but the most memorable thing about his brief time on Update was the horn-rimmed glasses he wore as tribute to Fey.
The gravel-voiced Murray was a perfectly adequate anchor for a perfectly forgettable season, who continued appearing in "SNL"-affiliated films for years two "Vacation" movies with Chevy Chase, "Wayne's World" and countless movies with his brother Bill and even wrote for Chase's ill-fated talk show in It followed the Chevy Chase template — good-looking preppy tall guy — but Hall pulled it off much better than Charles Rocket, possibly because he's a solid writer.
Hall's most memorable stint behind the desk was probably anchoring the coverage of Buckwheat's death , but honestly, it was tough for anyone to stand out in those years who wasn't Eddie Murphy or Joe Piscopo.
Even the legendary Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Hall's wife since , couldn't get a foothold. Hall's writing was solid, as evidenced with his later Emmy-nominated work on "Brooklyn Bridge" and creating the sitcoms "Watching Ellie" and "The Single Guy. And "This Is Spinal Tap! Guest took over seven episodes into his lone season, after the show spent a year using its guest hosts as news anchors including two episodes with Billy Crystal as "Fernando".
He was perfectly fine, but having Guest not play a character, do live performance. But if he ever wants to make an ensemble comedy about local news, we'd be first in line at the theater. While she certainly had the chops to grow into the role, as her gig hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner showed, she ultimately preferred focusing on her spot in the main cast. Colin Quinn took over after the controversial midseason firing of Norm MacDonald, and the circumstances made it tough for him to win over the audience.
Quinn is a stand-up legend, and his material was often great , but much of the time he seemed visibly uncomfortable — in a suit, reading from a teleprompter, even dealing with the live studio audience, as he'd often shrug awkwardly when a joke didn't hit. The anchor chair seemed to take away some of his angry Brooklyn Irish edge, and while his opening monologues were often great, they didn't take as a permanent fixture of Update.
But he parlayed what he learned on "SNL" into a series of wildly successful one-man theater shows. Michael Che is the first African-American head writer in "SNL's" history and the first African-American Update anchor in history, and he is now in his fifth year as the co-anchor.
Initially Che wrote for the show, then became a "Daily Show" correspondent for just nine episodes, before being hired back at "SNL" to host Update. He's become more comfortable as the show adjusted to let him do long, stand-up-esque bits instead of just one-liners, because stand-up is still where Che seems looser and more comfortable. Unfortunately, that change has also meant Colin Jost gets to do monologues as well. Celebrity Elle. Celebrity Cosmopolitan.
