  "account": "Co-anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost of \"Weekend Update\" on Saturday Night Live found themselves facing a challenging question during an appearance on the TV show \"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.\" The question posed was: \"Ironically, what innuendo-laden song is the shortest track on Taylor Swift's album The Life of a Showgirl?\" The possible answers included \"Wood,\" \"Anti-Hero,\" \"Cruel Summer,\" and \"Karma.\" As host Jimmy Kimmel encouraged the pair, Jost, who is indeed a Swiftie, began explaining the length of each track, providing his own freestyle answers. Che initially reacted with an \"uh-oh,\" but Jost persisted, eventually revealing that \"Cruel Summer\" was 3:23 and \"Karma\" was 4:24. When Jost mentioned \"Wood\" as the shortest track, Che chimed in, agreeing with the fact and jokingly saying, \"Oh!\" The duo ultimately won $250,000 for the charities Answer the Call and Food Bank for NYC, showcasing their knowledge and swift instincts.",
