I think he and [Michael] Che do a great job.
Meyers then laughed before continuing: “I moved on.
On my own terms!
And I’ve got a job.
I mean, I’ve hosted like 1,200 of these while Jost has done his 155.
I’ve got an everyday job.
Old fat cat Jost doing once a week?
Rolling out on Saturday and you’re all throwing crowns at his feet?
No, thank you!”
Meyers exited his spot at theSNLUpdate desk midway through season 39 to begin hostingLate Night.
“Also he has had it easy,” Meyers said.
“All his Updates most of them during the Trump era, when the jokes wrote themselves.”
