The Weekend Update segment on Saturday Night Live has helped to launch the careers of such stars as Chevy Chase, Dennis Miller, Kevin Nealon, Norm Macdonald, Colin Quinn, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Horatio Sanz, and Seth Myers, but it is Colin Jost and Michael Che who will lead the sketch into its own weekly timeslot.
SNL ratings up more than twenty percent over last year, the series is pulling in around 10.6 million viewers per episode, numbers otherwise not seen since 1994 when Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Norm Macdonald, and David Spade were cast members.
According to Politico, NBC is likely to air Weekend Update as part of its late-night Thursday programming.
