Colin Jost: That’s nice.
Michael Che: That’s sweet one.
Colin Jost: That was a sweet one.
Michael Che: Kids on cocaine. That’s sweet.
Colin Jost: Yeah, it’s really sweet. Well, this is the last episode of our season and there were a lot of jokes we tried this year. And some of them were deemed too offensive to do on air.
Michael Che: So we decided that since it’s the end of the year, we’re gonna do some anyway. How about that?
[cheers and applause]

The Boy Scouts of America agreed this week to allow girls into their organization, coz somebody gotta sow those badges on. Now, again, these jokes are offensive and that’s why we won’t tell them on air.
[Cut to Colin Jost. There’s a picture of restroom doors with women posters on them.]
Colin Jost: These are the ones we won’t be telling. A restaurant in Texas has created a controversy by putting pictures of Bruce Jenner on the men’s room door and Caitlyn Jenner on the women’s room door. Even worse, they called the handicapped door, “Rob.”
Michael Che: Now, you can’t do that joke.
[Cut to Michael Che. There’s a picture of a police car at right top corner.]
You can’t do that. You can’t do that on TV. Pennsylvania police arrested a one armed woman who was trying to rob a bank. Police said the hardest part was figuring out how to handcuff her. Now, that’s– that’s just– you can’t say that.
[Cut to Colin Jost. There are pictures of Hamilton and Ponhub logos at left top corner.]
Colin Jost: Yeah, you can’t. Pornhub has released– this is exciting– has released it’s parody of the musical Hamilton. And in the porn version, Hamilton absolutely throws away his shot.
[Cut to Michael Che. There’s a picture of marijuana leaf at right top corner.]
Michael Che: The New York Daily News published an editorial calling for New York to legalize marijuana saying that the current law has primarily hurt people of color. But since it is the Daily News, the headline read, “Pot cigs catch nigs.”
[Cut to Colin Jost. There’s a picture of Jocelyn Wildenstein at left top corner.]
Colin Jost: Went better than when I did it. Jocelyn Wildenstein, the plastic surgery obsessed woman known as Cat Woman has filed for bankruptcy. But don’t worry about Jocelyn, from the looks of her this is one cat who always lands… on her face.
Michael Che: Oh-ho!
