Having been named one of Rolling Stone’s “50 Funniest People,” Buzzfeed's "50 Hottest
Men in Comedy," and Variety’s “Top 10 Comics To Watch,” Che is quickly leaving his
mark on the media landscape. A native of lower Manhattan, Che’s comedy uses humor
to identify humanity in the most controversial actions. He applies street culture to world
issues with a delivery that The New York Times describes as "a reflective, laid-back
stage presence with jokes that draw as much from his city upbringing…as from blunt,
insightful points that bring the abstract into focus.”
Che is currently the co-anchor of Saturday Night Live’s iconic “Weekend Update”
segment where he is also a co-head writer writer for the show. Prior to joining SNL, he
was part of “The Best F*&#ing News Team Ever!” as a correspondent on Comedy
Central’s Emmy & Peabody Award-winning program The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Che has performed stand-up on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers and on CBS's Late
Show with David Letterman. In 2016, he released his first hour-long stand-up special
entitled Michael Che Matters on Netflix. His first special aired in 2014 on Comedy
Central’s The Half-Hour stand-up series.
Che has made numerous other television and film appearances. Most recently, he co-
hosted the 70th Annual Primetime EMMY Awards on NBC. Che’s other appearances
include Chris Rock’s Top Five, Comedy Central's hit series @midnight, and as a weekly
cast member on Vh1’s Best Week Ever.
In August 2013, Che headlined a successful month-long run of standup shows entitled
“Cartoon Violence” at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with The Guardian raving, “his
effectiveness as a comic is instant.”
Che has performed on the Oddball Comedy and Curiosity festival tour, at The Melbourne
International Comedy Festival, The Montreal Comedy Festival, Comedy Central’s South
Beach Comedy Festival, The Moontower Comedy Festival, and Bonnaroo, where The
Nashville Scene proclaimed “Straight up: Michael Che is going to be a star.” He was
crowned the winner of the New York’s Funniest Stand-Up competition at the 2012 New
York Comedy Festival, and both Time-Out NY and Comedy Central have listed him as
one of their "Comics To Watch." He headlines comedy shows nationally and
internationally.
