Colin Jost & Michael Che Are Now SNL Co-Head Writers

Saturday Night Live promotes Colin Jost and Michael Che, the two anchors of Weekend Update, to co-head writers of the NBC series. Saturday Night Live, as it does most seasons, is having something of a middling year this year. The venerable NBC late night comedy show has had some very good episodes, most notably the last two episodes hosted by Saoirse Ronan and James Franco, and Tiffany Haddish’s recent hosting turn was a highlight, too.
