The anticipated top pick in the 2024 WNBA draft dropped into Weekend Update to call out the segment's pattern of sexist jokes.
Clark, the 22-year-old point guard whose record with the Iowa Hawkeyes is one of the greatest in NCAA history, is widely expected to be chosen by the Indiana Fever in Monday’s WNBA draft. But before landing in the Hoosier state, the top scorer across Division I women’s and men’s basketball stopped by Studio 8H, where she “interrupted” Che’s most recent sexist remarks, this time about Clark’s jersey being replaced with an apron.
The setup, which struck a similar tone to the segment’s “Christmas Joke Swap” in terms of its alleged spontaneity, followed a so-called “supercut” of Che’s jabs at women who dare take the field or court. “We’re just having fun,” Che said in his own defense, without explaining who the “we” in that assertion was. The bit ended with Clark handing Che an apron. “Thank you, I can’t wait to give this to my girlfriend,” he said as he accepted the pink garment.
