  • 0:01 - 0:03
    -Well, you guys, as you
    may have seen in the lead-up
  • 0:03 - 0:04
    to the 50th anniversary,
    there have been a lot of
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    "SNL"-related lists
    and rankings.
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    Here with his ranking of the
    best "Weekend Update" anchors
  • 0:10 - 0:14
    of all time is former
    "Update" anchor Bill Murray.
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    -Thank you. Thank you, Colin.
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    Let's just jump right in.
  • 0:24 - 0:29
    In honor of Black History Month,
    I want to start by ranking
  • 0:29 - 0:33
    the African-American
    "Weekend Update" anchors.
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    [ Laughter ]
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    We'll start with number one.
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    And this is by default.
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    Michael Che.
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    Now we'll move on to the regular
    "Weekend Update anchors.
  • 0:52 - 0:56
    -Regular?!
    What do you mean regular?
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    -These are
    in no particular order,
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    so I've listed them
    from worst to best.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    First off,
    I have to disqualify myself
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    because my entire time here
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    I was on
    performance-enhancing drugs.
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    It's what we call
    an 8H Shaker.
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    Quaaludes, cocaine
    and nighttime Theraflu.
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    [ Clears throat ]
    Alright. Number 10.
  • 1:21 - 1:26
    He's one of
    the all-time greats.
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    Mr. Colin...
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    Quinn.
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    -Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
    -No.
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    Had you for a second.
    No. You'll -- Don't worry.
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    Don't --
  • 1:38 - 1:43
    Numbers 9, 8, and 7.
    Okay? Heads up.
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    Kevin Nealon. Come on.
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    Dennis Miller.
  • 1:49 - 1:50
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    And Seth Meyers.
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    I just wish
    we had the time tonight
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    to say something nice
    about any of them.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    -We actually do probably
    have enough time.
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    -Yeah.
    We're right here at 6 now, okay?
  • 2:04 - 2:07
    Alright.
    Colin, this could be you, huh?
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    -Is it?
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    -No, it is not.
  • 2:12 - 2:13
    The next two are controversial.
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    This was tough.
  • 2:15 - 2:21
    But I'm gonna put
    Tina and Amy...
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    just ahead of Tina and Jimmy.
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    -Oh.
    -Okay?
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    -I'm sorry, Jimmy. I'm sorry.
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    And congratulations, Tina.
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    It was close,
    but I checked online,
  • 2:32 - 2:37
    and girl-on-girl is still,
    like, very, very popular...
  • 2:37 - 2:42
    Okay. Next up,
    Cornelius Crane Chase...
  • 2:42 - 2:47
    who we've all come to know
    as Connie.
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    Let's face it.
    "Weekend Update"
  • 2:49 - 2:52
    simply would not exist
    without him.
  • 2:52 - 2:56
    So it would be wrong to have him
    listed anywhere but number 4.
  • 2:56 - 2:58
    [ Laughter ]
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    Number 3...
  • 3:02 - 3:05
    Jane Curtin and Danny Aykroyd!
  • 3:05 - 3:08
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    So, true story.
  • 3:10 - 3:14
    I was the first to call Jane
    an ignorant slut.
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    Backstage.
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    Danny had the brilliant idea
    to say it on camera
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    and really, really mean it.
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    [ Laughter ]
  • 3:24 - 3:27
    Number two is Norm Macdonald.
  • 3:27 - 3:29
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    He may have been the best ever,
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    but more importantly,
    he made me, for one,
  • 3:37 - 3:43
    ask the question of myself...
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    could O.J.
    possibly have done it?
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    [ Laughter ]
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    So that brings us to number one.
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    Colin...
  • 4:02 - 4:04
    got a good feeling about this.
  • 4:04 - 4:09
    Okay. Number one is funny.
    Got a great smile.
  • 4:09 - 4:10
    Ha!
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    And he's currently
    sleeping every kind of way
  • 4:12 - 4:15
    with the lovely actress
    Scarlett Johansson.
  • 4:15 - 4:17
    Of course, I'm talking about...
  • 4:17 - 4:19
    my brother, Brian Doyle-Murray.
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    [ Laughter ]
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    -What?!
    -Yeah.
  • 4:23 - 4:25
    -Wow!
    -I'm told...
  • 4:25 - 4:28
    I'm told he's a very,
    very considerate lover.
  • 4:28 - 4:31
    That's it. I couldn't
    be happier to be here.
  • 4:31 - 4:33
    -Bill Murray, everybody!
    -Bill Murray!
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    -For "Weekend Update,"
    I'm Colin Jost.
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    -I'm Michael Che. Good night!
    -Good night.
