University of Iowa’s star player Caitlin Clark wowed not only on the basketball court but also the comedy stage on the latest episode of “Saturday Night Live.”
Clark Mocks Michael Che’s Jokes
Clark made a surprise appearance on “Weekend Update,” where she confronted co-host Michael Che about his past jokes belittling women’s sports and the WNBA. With a playful grin, Clark declared, “I wrote some jokes for you. Will you read them?”
Her first joke poked fun at Che’s Netflix special: “This year, Caitlin Clark broke the record for three-pointers in a single season. And I have three pointers for Michael Che: 1 – Be, 2 – Funnier, 3 – Dumba–.”
A jab at Indiana Fever’s Absence
Clark couldn’t resist a humorous reference to Indiana Fever, the team expected to draft her with the No. 1 pick: “The Indiana Fever have the first pick in Monday’s draft. Just a reminder, Indiana Fever is a WNBA team, not what Michael Che gave to dozens of women at Purdue University.”
Gratitude and Inspiration
Beyond the humor, Clark expressed her excitement for her WNBA future, acknowledging the legendary players who paved the way: “I want to thank Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper, Dawn Staley, and Maya Moore for inspiring me and making this dream possible.”
A Memorable Gift
At the end of her segment, Clark presented Che with a personalized apron that she autographed, leaving him with a piece of their humorous exchange.
Clark’s Record-Breaking Season
This season, Clark shattered the NCAA Division 1 basketball scoring record. She led the Iowa Hawkeyes to the national championship game, where they faced off against Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks.
