Bowen Yang Jokes About Replacing Colin Jost & Michael Che on SNL’s Weekend Update!

In a recent playful moment on "Hot Ones Versus," Bowen Yang surprised fans by joking that he and his podcast co-host Matt Rogers should replace Colin Jost and Michael Che as the anchors of "Saturday Night Live’s" famous "Weekend Update." While this comment sparked excitement and speculation, it was made in good fun during a lighthearted interview, not as an official announcement or plan. Colin and Michael have been the beloved co-anchors since 2014, bringing sharp wit and hilarious chemistry to the segment. Bowen, known for his sharp humor and popular "Las Culturistas" podcast with Matt Rogers, teased the idea as part of a humorous challenge, but there’s no indication that NBC or SNL is considering any changes. Bowen has mentioned thinking about his future at SNL after multiple seasons but has made no formal moves to leave or take over Weekend Update. For now, Colin Jost and Michael Che remain the faces of the segment, while Bowen and Matt continue to thrive in the comedy scene.
