'SNL' star Michael Che responds to cultural appropriation backlash over recent sketch
"Saturday Night Live" star Michael Che responded after a sketch he wrote during Elon Musk’s May 8 episode was accused of cultural appropriation. On Monday, the "Weekend Update" host revealed he was the writer behind a sketch titled "Gen Z Hospital" that featured Musk and cast members Kate McKinnon, Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Bowen Yang in the waiting room of a hospital as they wait to hear news about their injured friend and relative. The gimmick of the sketch was that each person spoke almost entirely in slang phrases like "bestie," "Go off, king," "sis," "pressed," "bro," "cringe" and more.
