Scarlett Johansson & Colin Jost Get Revenge on Michael Che During ‘SNL Weekend Update’
Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers admit they haven’t always been a good hang.
The Saturday Night Live alums revealed that during their time together on the sketch series together, where they were also coanchors on the recurring Weekend Update segment of the show, the pair would often butt heads during one key moment ahead of showtime.
“I feel like the most tense our chemistry ever had was Update mornings—bagel times,” Seth told Amy during the June 3 episode of her Good Hang podcast. “‘Cause someone had pre-split the jokes and then there were a few left over that we both wanted. And I feel like there was a real dance.”
But while Amy thought she was being sly by attempting to take what she saw as the best jokes, Seth said he recognized her tactics, even calling out one of her sneaky methods.
“Here’s how I saw it from you: ‘Hmm, that feels like an Amy joke. Do you want it?’” he said while impersonating the Parks & Recreation actress. “And I’d be like, ‘I mean, I would love it. It would mean a lot to me. As a friend, I’m asking for it.’ And you’re like, ‘It’s a real Amy joke.’”
