Che, Saturday Night Live's co-head writer and second-longest serving "Weekend
Update" anchor, was asked in a New York Times profile about his comments
reported in March that this is his last season. "Who doesn't say they're
going to quit their job when they're at their other job?" he said, continuing
to play his comments as a joke. "I'm sure Biden says that twice a week." In
a more sincere tone, Che said: "My head has been at leaving for the past five
seasons." Che added: "I do think that I've been here longer than I'll be
here. This show is built for younger voices and, at some point, there'll be
something more exciting to watch at the halfway mark of the show than me and
dumb Jost." Meanwhile, SNL boss Lorne Michaels, who produces Che's HBO Max
sketch comedy show That Damn Michael Che, said he hopes Che stays. "If I had
my way, he'll be here," says Michaels. "And I don't always get my way. But
when you have someone who's the real thing, you want to hold on as long as
you can."

It's not that crazy a decision at all. Why give up a regular 30-minute show for at
best a 5-minute bit every week?
