Michael Che has just made Saturday Night Live history.
As of tonight, Che has appeared in 220 SNL episodes, making him tied with Fred Armisen for fifth longest-tenured SNL cast member.
Only eight episodes separate Che from number four, who just happens to be his “Weekend Update” co-anchor Colin Jost.
Both Che and Jost will have to stick around for at least another season and a half if they hope to surpass the show’s current number three, Seth Meyers, who logged 253 episodes before leaving SNL to host NBC’s Late Night franchise.
LateNighter’s podcast partner The Saturday Night Network was first to note the milestone.
