This is the risk you run when you marry a dangerous, edgy comedian like [checks notes] um, Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost? To be honest, Mr. Jost’s time behind the Weekend Update desk hasn’t exactly rocked the boat in the manner of, say, his predecessor Norm Macdonald. But there’s one segment that tip-toes close to the line, and that’s the biannual Weekend Update joke swap between himself and co-host Michael Che. During the holiday episode and season finale every year, the pair write each other provocative jokes that they read for the first time on air.
