Colin Jost and Michael Che drew gasps on the season finale of “Saturday Night Live,” treating the audience to their biannual joke swap.

Per tradition, the “Weekend Update” anchors wrote jokes for the other to read live on-air — without seeing them ahead of time.

For example, Jost kicked things off with a joke written by Che: “Mattel has introduced a new Barbie that has autism. Ugh, now it’s going to feel wrong when I have sex with it.”
