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 thoroughly enjoyed this. I am a very casual SNL fan, but I’ve always enjoyed Jost and Che on Weekend Update when I have managed to watch it. I really didn’t have any context for Colin Jost other than that - and that he was engaged and now married to Scarlett Johansson - so this was a really fun, amusing journey from his childhood in Staten Island and his family of 1 million fire fighters to his private school in Manhattan, to the Harvard Lampoon and then on to various career endeavors and eventually SNL. 

Y’all, I laughed so hard and so much. This is absolutely perfect to listen to on audio, highly recommend (and pro tip, you can always check out the ebook from your library to see all the photos he references 😂). 

I am so sad this is over! I need more comedic memoirs in my life.

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.

I listened to the audio and was laughing out loud to myself walking around my house with headphones in. Loved it!
