MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Che said Friday that he is leaving the anchor desk of "Weekend Update" on "Saturday Night Live." The co-head writer of the show shared an anchor desk with Colin Jost for eight years.
"This is my last year," Che said between jokes during a pop-up show at a Minneapolis hair salon. "You know my tie is a clip-on, right? What man wears a clip-on tie to work for eight years — that's embarrassing."
He did not go into detail about when and why he is leaving. Just in January, he surpassed Seth Meyers for having the most appearances as host on "Update." Only Jost has more.
