For more than a decade, \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d writers Colin Jost and Michael Che have marked breaks and finales with a joke swap segment. The tradition forces the \u201cWeekend Update\u201d co-anchors to perform jokes the other has written for them live, without the benefit of a pre-show read.<\/p>\n

Che and Jost typically take the opportunity to needle and embarrass each other, with Che pushing Jost to read racist bits and Jost forcing Che to admit to perversions. Jost\u2019s wife, actress Scarlett Johansson, is also a frequent target. The pair closed out the 51st season of \u201cSNL\u201d with a game of chicken that nearly pushed Jost to shave his head on national television.<\/p>\n

The bit started off with barbs about sexual dysfunction, Black vampires and Barbie\u2019s recently released doll with autism before both hosts were forced to defend extremely controversial musicians.<\/p>\n

Che had to stand behind the Michael Jackson biopic that conspicuously leaves out much of the pop star\u2019s life after the 1980s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to take a moment to tell everybody what I really think,\u201d Che was forced to say. \u201cMichael Jackson did nothing wrong. He was right to molest all those kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Che immediately got Jost back.<\/p>\n

\u201cYe has released a new album called \u2018Bully.\u2019 So, please try to separate the art from the artist,\u201d Jost said. \u201cYe can make awful music and still be right about Hitler.\u201d<\/p>\n
