Summary
- Michael Che confessed to a prank that was 'really mean'.
- The prank involved telling the audience not to laugh at Colin Jost.
- Che regretted the severity of the prank on Weekend Update.
Michael Che recently disclosed a prank he executed on his "Weekend Update" co-anchor, Colin Jost, which he now deems "really mean." During an appearance on "Working It Out" with Mike Birbiglia, Che explained that for an April Fools' Day gag, he told the studio audience to withhold laughter from Jost's jokes on "Weekend Update."

Che ultimately decided to cut the prank short, a decision he now views with relief, acknowledging its potentially damaging psychological impact on Jost.
