Having worked together for so long, the two friends don't hesitate to push the envelope on and off the job. One of the most outrageous joke-swapping pranks on "SNL" was a zinger about Martin Luther King Jr. that Michael Che knew would make his pal squirm on air. In an interview with NPR, Colin Jost called it "a unique moment," adding, "[A]mong comedians, the jokes you love the most are the worst, meaning either most offensive or the darkest jokes. ...So to force another person to tell one of those jokes is just — is very satisfying."
Jost also trusted his friend enough to invite him to his wedding to Scarlett Johansson in the fall of 2020, knowing that it might result in chaos. Che told Ellen DeGeneres on her show that he planned on "disrupting everything." Jost's reaction: Bring it on. "What I really want from Che, I want to ask him to do an objection at the wedding," he told DeGeneres in another segment of her show. "So few people utilize that moment to object. I think he could do a really great objection" (via People).
And when it comes to gifts, don't expect these two to give each other boring shirts or books. Appearing on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" (seen here on YouTube), the comic friends revealed the most unusual birthday presents they've given. Che sent a party clown to the restaurant where Jost was having dinner (she made balloon animals!), and Jost gave Che a cast-iron cash register.
