Colin Jost realizing live on air that the writers just set him up to do a Nazi salute on national television took ten years off his life. ​The panic in his eyes the second he raises his hand for the Hegseth scale joke, followed by Che’s pure joy yelling “you finally got one on camera,” is the exact reason Weekend Update works. Jost's desperate "Don't GIF it, guys" might as well be an engraved invitation to turn it into the meme of the year. ​At this point, Michael Che isn’t even co-anchoring, he’s just legally liable for psychological warfare.
