Caitlin Clark didn't let up on Michael Che.

Caitlin Clark made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, this weekend, joining Colin Jost and Michael Che for the "Weekend Update" segment. In doing so, she trolled Che for the jokes he's made about women's basketball over the years. She instructed Che to read from a list of jokes she had prepared for the show, which all poked fun at the comedian.

"This year, Caitlin Clark broke the record for 3-pointers in a single season and I have 3-pointers for Michael Che," he said. "One, be. Two, funnier. Three, dumbass." She finished the segment by giving a shoutout to "Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper, the great Dawn Staley, and my basketball hero, Maya Moore." She added: "These are the women that kicked down the door so I could walk inside. So, I want to thank them tonight for laying the foundation."
