When Joke Swap Backfired on Live TV

The Christmas episode of Saturday Night Live is renowned for its lighthearted tradition: a joke swap between anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che. However, this year's episode took an unexpected turn when Che pulled off a playful prank on Jost.

Jost Caught Off Guard Jost, clearly surprised, exclaimed, "You told me we weren't doing this this year... and you know I didn't write any jokes for you." Che responded with a grin, "Well, I guess you'll just have to read mine."

The Jokes That Stole the Show Jost had no choice but to deliver Che's jokes, which included sharp comments on civil rights, the Catholic Church scandal, and even Jost's wife, Scarlett Johansson. While the audience loved the humor, Jost looked a bit annoyed.

A Playful Tradition with a Twist The joke swap is a beloved part of the show, allowing the anchors to showcase their humor and surprise each other. This year, however, it turned into a playful prank, reminding everyone that surprises can happen even on live TV.

Fans React to the Unexpected Turn The joke swap is a tradition fans look forward to, offering a glimpse of the anchors in a different light. But this year, the focus was more on the surprise than the jokes themselves. It was a fun way to end the year on a light note.
