I laughed so much listening to this book, though Colin referenced a lot of photos in the physical book and he kept telling readers to go buy a copy so we could see what he was talking about.
There is an entire chapter about poop so if you’re easily grossed out, or can be embarrassed oh the behalf of others maybe skip that one.
The last chapter was also medicslly graphic. Think, multiple doctors, one who checked webMD because it wasn’t their area of expertise, samples taken from Colin’s leg going to the CDC for testing, and talk of an unpleasant best case scenario vs much much worse worst case scenario. It’s still funny! But so gross.
And this was after I laughed my face off listening to the poop chapter.

I love SNL and so when I found this book, obviously I had to read it. It was absolutely hilarious. This covered everything in Colin Jost’s life that he thought was worth mentioning, from Wrestle mania to getting potato salad thrown at him by Scottish teenagers. Warning: do not read if you can’t deal with gross photos because yes, he was kind enough to include the time botflies laid eggs in his leg (with photos).

CW: 9/11
The beginning of this book used "retard(ed)" quite a few times and I almost DNFed, but I am glad I did not. The chapter about 9/11 and Jost's mom were incredibly emotional as he spoke about how his mother was impacted by the terrorist attacks. I read this book at the recommendation of a few friends, but had no idea who Colin Jost was as I do not watch SNL. I enjoyed hearing about his life, especially as he narrates the audiobook.
