Caitlin Clark roasts Michael Che for his sexist ‘SNL’ jokes

After making a joke about Iowa Hawkeyes player Caitlin Clark trading in her jersey for an apron, Michael Che was roasted this week on the “Weekend Update” segment of “SNL” by none other than Clark.

Che opened the piece by saying, “The University of Iowa has announced that Caitlin Clark will retire her jersey.” With a grin and a laugh he added, “And replace it with an apron.” The audience didn’t like the joke and Che said playfully, “Wow! Well, the WNBA draft is next Monday and Iowa star Caitlin Clark is expected to be the number one pick. Here to comment is Caitlin Clark.

To thunderous applause and cheers, Clark appeared at the Weekend Update desk, smiling. She and Che waited for the wild clapping to subside before she started roasting Che for his joke about her. “I am a fan, Caitlin by the way,” Che said.

Questioning his fandom, Clark responded, “Really, Michael? Because I heard that apron joke you did.

Clark hit back, saying, “You make a lot of jokes about women’s sports, don’t you, Michael?” Che responded that he wouldn’t classify them as “many,” but that they are not “irregular.” A piece of information that co-host Colin Jost jumps at when playing a supercut of several “Weekend Update” clips in which Che criticizes women’s sports, in one segment joking about bars showing women’s sports and saying they are “collectively known” as the empty one. .” In another joke, he jokes that the WNBA is a made-up AI-generated glitch.

Clark, considered one of the greatest collegiate players of all time, thanked Colin. “Wow, Colin with the receipts. Thanks man.” Jost added: “Unlike Che, I support women.”

In response to the many jokes Che has thrown at women’s basketball, Clark came up with a collection of jokes, all her own, which Che would then read.

Che said with a grin and hesitation as Clark stood nearby smiling, “The Indiana Fever have the first pick in this Monday’s draft. A reminder that the Indiana Fever is a WNBA team, and not what Michael Che gave to dozens of women at Purdue University.

Continuing to read the jokes, Che says, “Netflix’s best new show is ‘Ripley,’ which features a creepy, disturbing performance from Andrew Scott. Critics say this is the hardest thing to watch on Netflix since Michael Che’s special ‘Shameless,'” Che says and bursts out laughing. “What about that one?” Clark said with a satisfied smile.

After all was said and done, Clark had one last callback souvenir she brought along for Che: “Since you’re such a big fan… it’s an apron signed by me.”
