BIOGRAPHy

SNL veteran Colin Jost is a brilliant, very popular stand-up comedian. SNL’s Weekend Update anchor has appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, TBS and at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. Colin’s been performing since the 6th grade, when his teachers let him and his friends reenact SNL sketches and read David Letterman Top Ten lists in front of the entire school. He did Speech and Debate at the elite Regis High School in Manhattan, then commuted home to Staten Island to be in musicals. He’s appeared in Fiddler on the Roof over a thousand times. Colin studied “the History and Literature of Russia and Britain” at Harvard, where he was president of the Harvard Lampoon. In addition to his work on SNL, Colin writes screenplays (Staten Island Summer) and has been fortunate enough to perform stand-up all over the country.
