Caitlin Clark made her ‘Saturday Night Live’ debut on Saturday, April 14, to discuss the upcoming WNBA Draft
Caitlin Clark quickly proved to be the unofficial MVP of the Women’s March Madness tournament — and she’s not here for any criticism over her game.
The camera then panned to Clark, 22, herself as she rolled up next to Che, 40, at the Weekend Update desk. The basketball star thus made it clear that she did not approve of Che’s apron joke, a reference to the sexist ideology that women supposedly belong in the kitchen rather than on the court. While Che tried to downplay his past jokes about women in athletics, his SNL cohost Colin Jost “made a supercut” of every time that he, in fact, brought up women’s sports at live comedy gigs and on SNL.“Wow, Colin with the receipts! Thanks, man,” she quipped. “Obviously, I can’t tell jokes like you do, but I did write some jokes. It would mean a lot to me if you read some, just right over there on the cards.”Che then reluctantly turned to the teleprompter to read Clark’s words aloud.
After Clark proclaimed that it was a “good joke about women’s sports,” she asked Che to read another one that took aim at his Shame the Devil comedy special on Netflix.
