Lorne Michaels has announced his Weekend Update successor: head writer Colin Jost.
Seth Meyers is leaving to host Late Night – and although we LOVE US SOME SETH – Don’t you agree that our new “Weekend Update BF” is even CUTER!!??
Forget that he is linked / dating Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation) we can over look that!
Jost, who has been with SNL since 2005, became head writer in 2012, and won a Peabody Award for his work on the iconic series.
He’ll join Cecily Strong — who’s been co-anchoring Weekend Update with Meyers since September — at the desk beginning March 1.
We are looking forward to many many happy moments of watching you speak Colin 🙂
