- TriviaDuring Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che played an April Fool's Day joke on his fellow co-anchor Colin Jost.

Che then admitted to the prank and caused Jost to break for a while.

Brunson Great! Half the Show Not and Falling, Falling
Okay, who knew Quinta Brunson was so entertaining? She's ten times funnier than the usual. While her monologue was at best good, the first 45 minutes of this show was stellar. Funny, funny skits with some sharp jokes and pushing the censors, as well as a great opening sketch about Trump.
Then they went to Tiny Boat, the musical guest's, first round of bland, forgettable music and the whole show shifted. Everything lost whatever energy and quality that first 45 minutes had. Nothing matched the inspired bathroom coke skit or the hilarious stuck in traffic exchange, where among other things, Chloe Fineman did a superb job pushing the boundaries.
Instead -- and for the first time a long while -- the weekend update was incredibly flat. Some overly long, dumb bit with the Statue of David, some dull, self-indulgent stuff about playing an April Fools joke on Colon Jost, and then this long bit about body shaming short men.
Okay, let's look at that further. What is it about body shaming men that is okay? For some reason, there's at least one skit an episode that body shames men. And it's always "punching down" short men or bald men or men who can't find women or whatever.
The rest of the episode just fizzles away. Some midwife skit that, I guess, is supposed to be funny because Bowen Yang plays the midwife with increasingly long hair. Yuk, yuk. Yet another video with those three numbs just recycling the same schtick as always. There's almost hope at the very end, when they do an office sketch about workplace harassment (which is unintentionally funny given the whole toxic body shaming men thing). But it goes from being absurd and over the top to being this weird singing duet that isn't funny. And it goes on and on and on.
All in all, they should have just stopped before the musical guest came out mumbling. Those first 45 minutes are inspired. Quinta Brunson is funny, and I think she's got a big career ahead of her. SNL? Not so sure.
