About this episode
Born and raised in New York City’s Lower East Side, Michael Che grew up with early jobs selling t-shirts and working open mic nights. After being spotted by Colin Jost at a stand-up show in 2013, Che landed a gig writing for Saturday Night Live where he would become the show’s first black head writer and first black anchor of “Weekend Update.” In this week’s Sunday Sitdown, Willie Geist gets together with Che to talk about his rise in comedy and his new Netflix stand-up special, Michael Che: Shame the Devil.
