SNL: Colin Jost and Michael Che promoted to co-head writers

Colin Jost and Michael Che are taking their Saturday Night Live responsibilities beyond the news desk.

Jost and Che have been anchoring Weekend Update since 2014. Jost, as you may remember, also served as a co-head writer of SNL from 2014 to 2015 before exiting the role and focusing on Weekend Update.
