SNL's co-head writer Colin Jost has a funny new piece in The New Yorker today in which he previewed this summer's unlikely movie sequels, including Even More Descendants, Jurassic Park 1-D, and What to Expect When You're Expecting to See 'Trouble with the Curve.' Don't go to the cinema without reading this handy guide first!
Decoding your Time Warner bill can be confusing. So many charges! Luckily, SNL writer Colin Jost took to the pages of this week's New Yorker to break them down. I really need to get in touch with them about refunding the "What Ever Happened to My Name Is Earl? Fee;" I know what happened to it, dammit!
Last week, Reserve Channel released a never-before-seen hour-long interview with Louis C.K. at the Paley Center, and now here's one they just put out with Saturday Night Live writers Seth Meyers, John Mulaney, Chris Kelly, Marika Sawyer, Colin Jost, and Erik Kenward. It's an hour-plus chat that digs deep into SNL's writing process and gives you a rare look at the faces of the weirdos who write the show (except for Seth Meyers, his face is on the show all the time).
"I started [on SNL the same season as] Kristen [Wiig], and she came in as the one new female cast member and was great from the beginning. But it’s surprisingly rare that you know that a cast member is leaving, and until they really say they are, you always hope that they’re going to come back. So you never want to write a farewell for someone who might come back."
