In his monologue on Monday, Jimmy Fallon seemingly paused in surprise while reading his cue cards and said, “Wait, what? I can’t do that joke. That news is almost three months old.” That’s when “Weekend Update” co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che walked on stage.
“It seems old to you, Jimmy, but we’ve been away all summer,” Jost explained. “There’s been so much news that we haven’t been able to joke about. So we were wondering, would it be OK if we told some of those jokes from the summer, right now?”
Fallon agreed, and the segment played out with Fallon reading out the joke setups and and the two Saturday Night Live stars taking turns delivering the punchlines. The most shocking one came from Che.
