The 2024 WNBA Draft is Monday night, and ahead of the event Caitlin Clark, the expected firfst-overall pick, made a stop to promote the draft.

By visiting the “Weekend Update” desk on Saturday Night Live.

Clark joined hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost during the segment, right after Che told a joke about Iowa retiring Clark’s jersey following the end of her collegiate career. Clark noted that Che has a history of telling jokes at the expense of the WNBA and women’s basketball, and while Che denied telling those jokes, his co-host was ready with a supercut of those moments from SNL.

Clark then told Che she had written a series of jokes for him to read, all of which poked fun at the host’s expense.

You can see the entire segment here:

Clark also paid tribute to some of the WNBA’s legends for blazing the trail in front of her, before gifting Che a signed apron.
