  • For "Saturday Night Live" star and writer Michael Che, the first Black anchor of "Weekend Update," and star of the HBO series, "That Damn Michael Che," standup is his first, and possibly deepest, love. Che talks with CBS News' Tony Dokoupil about growing up a "very curious" child, and why he's "just trying to grow up and not get killed."

    Che's joke swap with Colin Jost is the best thing on television. Though, I do sometimes worry about Jost's safety after those episodes.

Reminds me of how stressed out and tired Dave Chappelle was before he escaped to Africa for his mental sanity.
