Caitlin Clark appears in ‘Weekend Update’ segment and roasts co-host Michael Che
Clark’s appearance on the show coincided with the WNBA Draft scheduled for two days later at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City. As the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I history, Clark also participated in SNL’s “Weekend Update” segment, where she engaged in playful banter with co-host Michael Che. Che poked fun at the University of Iowa’s decision to retire Clark’s jersey, likening it to an apron. His announcement initially elicited negative reactions from the audience, prompting laughter from the host afterward.
“University of Iowa announced that Caitlin Clark will have her jersey retired … And replace with an apron,” Che said. “Whoa! Well, the WNBA draft is this Monday, and Iowa star Caitlin Clark is expected to be the number one pick. Here to comment is Caitlin Clark,” he added.
Clark received a long and thunderous applause as she waited for the roars to die down before unleashing her funny side.
Clark challenged Che’s allegiance to the team and called him out for his apron joke and other comical jabs at women’s sports. Joining the discussion, co-host Colin Jost showcased a compilation of Che’s rants on the subject.
Expressing gratitude to Jost for sharing the videos, Clark appreciated his evident support for women, a contrast to Che’s approach. Seeking a bit of payback for Che’s jests, Clark presented a set of her own jokes for him to read aloud.
“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,” Clark said.
“Netflix’s top new show is ‘Ripley,’ featuring an eerie, unsettling performance by Andrew Scott. Critics say it’s’ the hardest thing to watch on Netflix since Michael Che’s special ‘Shame The Devil.‘”
In the skit’s conclusion, the lowa star, who is projected to be picked No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever in this year’s WNBA Draft, gave Che an apron signed by her.
