\n\tColin Jost<\/a> and Michael Che<\/a> drew gasps on the season finale of \u201cSaturday Night Live,\u201d treating the audience to their biannual joke swap.<\/p>\n

\n\tPer tradition, the \u201cWeekend Update\u201d anchors wrote jokes for the other to read live on-air \u2014 without seeing them ahead of time. <\/p>\n

\n\tFor example, Jost kicked things off with a joke written by Che: \u201cMattel has introduced a new Barbie that has autism. Ugh, now it\u2019s going to feel wrong when I have sex with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThen Che read this joke written by Jost: \u201cA new study finds that the average length of an erect penis in the country is 6.34 inches. Oh, boy. That means I\u2019m only 6 inches below average.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJost then recited, \u201cMichael B. Jordan won best actor for his role in the vampire movie \u2018Sinners.\u2019 A black vampire is just like a white vampire, except the only thing it sucks dry is the welfare state.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReading the cue cards, he continued, \u201cNow, that was just a joke. I\u2019m not a racist. And to prove it, I, Colin Jost, hereby pledge this season\u2019s salary to Dr. Umar\u2019s School for Black Boys. Now, y\u2019all might not know who that is, but the brothers at home is nodding they heads. And if that\u2019s not enough, I have a beautiful new ferry ready to give any Black person a free one-way trip back to the motherland.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tChe then had to tell a joke about how men are less likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction if they drink grape juice. As a photo of a child with a juice box flashed on screen, the comedian said it \u201cexplains why my boyfriend is always rock hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnticipating that the next joke related to Michael Jackson, Che told Jost, \u201cYou\u2019re a terrible person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe went on: \u201cSpeaking of giving little boys juice, the movie \u2018Michael\u2019 won the box office again this weekend, and since a few members of the Jackson family are actually in the audience tonight, I wanted to take a moment to tell everybody what I really think: Michael Jackson did nothing wrong! He was right to molest all those kids! And they were lucky. I would have paid him to do it. And I did. That\u2019s right, when I was 10 years old, Michael Jackson molested me. And the only thing it gave me was a fetish for middle-aged white women.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\n\tUpping the stakes, Jost then recited, \u201cNow, that joke is offensive to everybody, and I do apologize. I\u2019d like to sacrifice the most important thing in my life: my beautiful, award-winning, world-famous \u2026 hair. That\u2019s right, I\u2019m shaving off. Send in the barber.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJost smiled uncomfortably as a man rushed behind the \u201cWeekend Update\u201d desk and threw a barber cape over him. As the man pulled out clippers and moved them close to Jost\u2019s head, the comedian said, \u201cJerome, make me unpretty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut before the barber could take any hair off of Jost, Che butted in: \u201cNo, no, no! You were really going to do it? Man. You are the greatest comedian of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe joke swap became tradition in 2018 and has gotten progressively crazier over the years. In 2023, Che hired a fake \u201ccivil rights activist\u201d to sit next to Jost and shake her head in disapproval at every racist joke. And in 2024, Che forced Jost to tell vulgar jokes about his wife, Scarlett Johansson, as she watched on a live feed from backstage.<\/p>\n

\n\tWill Ferrell was the host of the Season 51 finale with musical guest Paul McCartney.<\/p>\n
