The cue card Jost was supposed to read during the bit with the fired staffer.

Che lost it over the herpes joke.

This has become a fav bit for me and was waiting for it last night. While not as good as last year's, at least this time he managed to zing Che more than before.

I'd love to know how much of the cue card they see as they are reading the joke. Obviously they don't see anything before the segment, but I wonder if the punch line is hidden till the very last second.

I always felt with the Stefan skits, you can see him reading ahead and see him reaching the punch lines a few moments before the audience hears them.

That chicken sandwich joke actually works on several levels.

[u/Personage1]

Colin stepped it up this year.

[u/wasthatlatin]

I’ll say it again. The best Weekend Update team in the history of SNL.
