Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchor Michael Che is under fire after posting jokes about Olympian Simone Biles. On Thursday, Che posted several things on his Instagram stories account, all of which have since been deleted. Che wrote, Man, I wanna make fun of Simone Biles. I got like 3 mins of Simone Biles jokes in my head. Then, Che, 38, posted a joke someone shared with him about former U.S. womens national gymnastics team doctor and convicted sex offender, Larry Nassar. It said Nassar understands Simone Biles more than anyone because he too had to quit doing what he loved at the pinnacle of his career because of mounting pressure. Che reacted to it by saying it was absolutely tasteless but then rated it a 9/10. Biles is one of a long list of gymnasts, including Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas and McKayla Maroney, who say they were molested by Nassar. I am not afraid to tell my story anymore, Biles wrote on her social media accounts in 2018. I too am one of the many survivors that was sexually abused by Larry Nassar.

After deleting the posts, Che later claimed his Instagram account was hacked. He posted another Instagram story to explain. maaannnn, I got hacked today. cant believe they got me. yall kno i only do jokes about whites and cops, Che posted on his Instagram story, which has since been deleted. sall good now. i changed my password and everythinganyway, yall heard about dababy tho? thats crazy..iight. see yall at church. imma get there early. This story has since been deleted, too. Managers and publicists for Che have not responded to requests for comment Friday.

There's a difference between making a joke about someone who's a piece of shit and making a joke about someone who the piece of shit molested

The hack thing also sounds like a joke. Since he did the obvious deflection to DaBaby joke right after too. Seems like he's trying to play it down, not actually say he didn't do it. Which is all you can really do after you get negative reactions to a joke.

He was going through all the tactics others used as to mock them while being in their same position.

sometimes double entendres aren't enough to make something inherently unfunny suddenly funny.

it happens. he shot, missed and is trying to save face. edgy comedy is risky, especially if the comedian is more edgy than educated.

Not sure how Michael Che has gotten this far. He's probably the least funny popular SNL cast member.

^Yeah Ive never been a fan of Weekend Update so I never really saw him on SNL but his stand-up on Netflix was great.

Bad joke here obviously, though.

Funny how he's always trying to get his cohost Jost canceled yet it looks like he himself is on the verge of getting himself canceled.
