SNL’s Michael Che wonders if he’ll be the next Black anchor to be fired by NBC

Michael Che humorously suggested he might be the next Black employee to leave NBCUniversal following the departures of prominent anchors Joy Reid and Lester Holt, saying, "Well, NBC, only one more to go".
Joy Reid was laid off from MSNBC amid a major reorganization, leading to criticism from Rachel Maddow, who stated, "I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door."
Lester Holt announced his resignation from NBC Nightly News after ten years, citing it as an honor to work in journalism and keep viewers at the center of focus.
MSNBC replaced several shows during a programming overhaul, which included the firing of Reid and the loss of Holt as their longtime anchor.
