'Saturday Night Live' Installs First Black Weekend Update Anchor

It's a two-man game at the Weekend Update desk this season on "Saturday Night Live."

Writer Michael Che will replace Cecily Strong as Colin Jost's new Weekend Update co-anchor, creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels told The New York Times.

"Michael is a strong writer, and he's really funny," Michaels said. "It's always difficult to make changes and make 'Update' different form what's gone before."

Che had also started as a correspondent for the "The Daily Show." He has appeared on seven episodes so far.
