“SATURDAY Night Live’s” Weekend Update is getting an update of its own. Comedian Michael Che will be the segment’s new co-host in its upcoming 40th season.

    Che has written for “SNL” in the past, but more recently has become known as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”

    Che will take over for Cecily Strong, who manned the Weekend Update desk with Seth Meyers before he left in early 2014 for “Late Night,” and then with Colin Jost. Strong is staying with “SNL,” and Jost will continue to co-host Weekend Update with Che.

    “Got a lot of strange congratulations on the gig,” Che joked on Twitter on Sept. 12. “The strangest coming from Tinder. Guess its time to delete that.”

    This casting shuffle is just one of the shifts “SNL” has made over the past year. After losing star players like Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis in 2013, the live show brought on a roster of new faces for its 39th season.

    The new season of the show begins Sept. 27.
