“The U.S. Embassy in Moscow is urging all American citizens inRussia to leave immediately,” Jost followed up.“‘Oh cool, I’ll try to do that,’said Brittney Griner,” he joked, referring to the WNBA star who was sentenced to nine years in prison after being found guilty of smuggling vape cartridges with cannabis oil into the country.
Che then weighed in on two-time SNL musical guest Lizzo playing a crystal flute belonging to James Madison, which became a point of outrage among some right-wing commentators. “So we have had a gay president,” Che joked.
