During the episode, the comedians mentioned another idea that they've had in mind: cohosting the "Weekend Update" segment of Saturday Night Live following the exit of current anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che.Rogers asked Yang in the episode, "We both auditioned for Saturday Night Live, but only you were asked to join. If you could have me replace any current SNL cast, who would it be?While Yang initially tried to deflect underscoring that he loves all of his co-stars he eventually answered the question: "I'm gonna give Che and Colin the chop so that you and I can do 'Update' together." "I love that," Rogers replied. "I think we'd be great at 'Update.' We'd give a new, fresh take." He added, "Hey Colin, hey Che Ya burnt!"Che and Jost have cohosted "Weekend Update" since 2014. At the time, they replaced coanchors Seth Meyers and Cecily Strong. In recent months, there has been speculation that Che and Jost might be exiting the show soon. On the other hand, Vanity Fair has reported that Yang "may have a seven-year itch" to leave the show as well, particularly as one of the busiest cast members in the current SNL lineup.The Las Culturistas Culture Awards ceremony airs on Tuesday, August 5, at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. The broadcast will be available for streaming the next day on Peacock.
