Michael Che Recalls Sketch About Avengers Killing Black Teen That Never Made 'SNL'

“For obvious reasons, there’s no way that’s going on the show," the "Saturday Night Live" comedian said of the bit.

Michael Che on Tuesday talked about “racially specific” sketch ideas that don’t make the cut for “Saturday Night Live,” including one that saw Marvel’s fictional Avengers superheroes accidentally killing an unarmed Black teenager. “I think for obvious reasons, there’s no way that’s going on the show,” Che, co-head writer at “SNL,” told radio host Howard Stern. Another skit involved the first Black man to boo Jackie Robinson, who’s widely regarded as the first Black player in Major League Baseball.
