Che explained to Howard Stern that Saturday Night Live isn't the place
for certain race-specific sketches. "Something that's like racially
specific, the audience is kind of looking at Saturday Night Live as Lorne
Michaels' show," Che said. "They're not looking at it as 'Oh, this is a
Black writer who is making this nuanced observation or whatever.' So it's
a little trickier. On my show (That Damn Michael Che), I can get away with
it because they know it's me."

Dave Chappelle would have done it.
