Michael Che shares ‘intoxicating’ reason he’s not leaving ‘Saturday Night Live’ yet

Michael Che has a “Weekend Update” on why he’s sticking around “Saturday Night Live.”

The “SNL” player and co-head writer told Howard Stern this week why, despite telling “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels that this season of the sketch comedy show would be his last, he ultimately decided to return next season.

“I 100% was leaving,” Manhattan-born Che, 39, said on SiriuxXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” Wednesday. “And the whole time Lorne’s like, ‘Yeah, OK.’ But I 100% told him I was leaving. Like at the beginning of the season, I was like, ‘I’m done. I can’t do it. I’m finished, I’m finished, I’m finished.’”
