Summary

If you’re heartbroken and frustrated after yesterday’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, you’re not alone. There are things Congress could do right now, Congress just refuses to do them. And Michael Che makes his first visit to the Ed Sullivan Theater since his standup comedy debut on “The Late Show with David Letterman” a decade ago, and shares the truly wild story of how he got to the theater that day amid the chaos of Superstorm Sandy. In the second part of his interview, Michael Che points out some key differences between his day job at “Saturday Night Live” and his side gig, “That Damn Michael Che” which is streaming its second season now on HBO Max.
