A new article of Vulture highlights some passages from Colin Jostthe memories of A very sharp face, reminding readers that the Saturday night live Writer / actor also has a very sharp mind full of very pungent opinions. Among them are Jost’s views on the minimum wage (“$ 9 an hour” is “really good for a summer job. Or any job in general”), reflections on the actors like her fiance playing other ethnicities and genres (of course they should be able!), and that he liked that Trump came to rehearsals for his electoral episode before 2016 no bodyguards (“I think most of the people in our show thought, Huh this guy is not a monster after all. ”)
Fortunately, this is all balanced with excerpts from memories showing how the universe’s corrective power works on Jost. In short, he apparently shits his pants a lot.
The most valuable information in the book contains little things like Jost saying he “screwed up his pants about five times” within “the first five years” after graduating from college. Jost, who “dedicates an eight-page chapter to the” theme, “writes that he has maintained this streak,” navigating to ‘Shit My Pants once a year or two.’ ”
We can only wonder if his body is rejecting what occurs to his brain, since Jost, who seems to have no interest in not appearing as a prick in these memory selections, also tells readers many other unflattering things about he. He says one of his early projects was “a hidden camera show concept” presented alongside fellow Harvard graduate Simon Rich, who would have offered “bogus college interviews for elite and competitive schools” in an attempt to “exploit to high school seniors at their most vulnerable. ” Jost also casually mentions that he dumped a rented bicycle “on the fence of a construction site at the Musée d’Orsay.” The only consolation is that this happened after a group of French teens threw tomatoes at him on the street, which for most people could be combined with serial pants shit as a sign that it’s time to make some changes. in the life.
