Colin jost, welcome. Thank you for having me. Very nice to have you here. So as the story goes, you were 22 when you joined the staff . When i started snl as writer, yeah. On the show as a writer, just out of harvard. I was like ya know probably half a year out of, or year out of harvard, yeah. Right and id worked at a newspaper, actually. Id worked as an editor overnight on a newspaper back on Staten Island where i was from. Right, journalism good career. Journalism. Not quite comedy. No, i got to see, i got out right probably before it started crashing as a print. It was bad before, let me just tell you. It was a fun job, even if its not necessarily lucrative. Yeah, not at all. And so a couple of months and then you get to say. Its inconceivable to me what it must have been like at 22 having grown up presumably aware of the show, watching the show, fan of the show. To walk on there and suddenly be on the staff. Yeah, its very weird. I mean you kinda have to pretend like its not weird
