Fast-rising New York comedian Michael Che is joining Comedy Central’s The
Daily Show With Jon Stewart as a new correspondent. Che is currently a staff
writer on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, which he joined full-time after a guest-writing
stint. He will join The Daily Show in June, after wrapping SNL. This is a rare talent move
from SNL to another late-night show as up-and-comers who get their break at the
venerable NBC series tend to stay there for a long time. Che made his late-night debut
in 2012 on CBS’ Late Show With David Letterman and became the first stand-up comedian
to perform on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers after the SNL alum took the helm of the
show. At Comedy Central, Che has appeared on @midnight and John Oliver’s New York
Stand-Up Show and recently taped his first stand-up special, which is scheduled to air
June 6. Here is a glimpse at what Che could do on The Daily Show with a bit he did for
MTV as well as a sample of his stand-up.
