As co-host of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update since 2014, Colin Jost has consistently showed off one of comedy’s sharpest wits while sending up the latest news in politics and popular culture. After his tenure at the long-lived satirical magazine The Harvard Lampoon, he joined the writing staff at NBC’s flagship comedy show in 2005 and replaced Seth Meyers at Weekend Update in 2014, becoming part of a lineage that includes such greats as Chevy Chase, Tina Fey and Norm Macdonald.
In 2009, his profile as a stand-up performer got a major boost when he was named a “New Face” at Montreal’s Just for Laughs festival, where he’d return to co-host a gala with his Weekend Update co-anchor and fellow head writer Michael Che in 2017. He continues to perform on SNL and on stages across the U.S., engaging audiences with his skillfully constructed jokes, humorous asides and likable presence, often laughing right along with the crowd.
