Presenting 20 things we now know about Colin Jost, ScarJost, and SNL thanks to Jost’s new book
The titular Punchable Face. Photo: Courtesy of NBC Colin Jost’s new memoir, which should have been called Jost the Facts but instead is called A Very Punchable Face, finds the Saturday Night Live co–head writer, “Weekend Update” co-anchor, and Scarlett Johansson fiancé in funny-confessional mode, giving behind-the-scenes glimpses into his Staten Island past and 30 Rock present.
Jost calls SNL “the kind of place where Lorne will call you into his office in the middle of the day and say, ‘Mick Jagger’s about to go onstage in Prague and he needs a joke to open the show. Any ideas?’”And by the end of the week, “I think most people at our show thought, Huh. This guy isn’t a monster after all,” Jost writes. Jost also tells a story about a guest who refused to admit that he wore a toupee, so the wig department had to put a bald cap over his toupee, and a wig atop that.
