Colin Jost

A memoir of an SNL member isn't normally the genre i read but I like him from Weekend Update so I got it and tried something other than political science/american history/genocide/revolutions that I'm normally reading. It was funny from the beginning to the end and it's super easy to read. I give it 5 stars easy, but I didn't realize that he is better taken in small bits and not 4 days of reading his book. He became a little too much for me and his shtick was wearing me down. But luckily it ended right before then and I can continue to be a fan of his. Also, I didn't realize he was married to Scarlett Johansson and that he went to college at Harvard, along with going to high school in Manhattan. So I can kinda see why so many people seem put off by him. But I like him and I think he's funny but several times throughout the book I actually rolled my eyes because he was giving his peers some generic "the best at what they do, better than me because I'm so humble" (that's me paraphrasing). Other than at, go get the book and enjoy the many good stories, especially the one with Jimmy Buffet and his family.… (more)
