Colin Jost.

I was just looking at this clip from Seth Myers. I know that lots of people love Colin and Che on Weekend Update and I am at best lukewarm to them. But watching Colin with Seth somehow I see his charm which never seems to come through for me at the anchor desk. Why can't he be *this* kind of asshole on SNL? I could get behind that.

I think Seth brings out the best in SNL people on his show, but also it was more interesting to me because he was on the backfoot with the audience and had to adjust to them. I still enjoy him on Update but one of the reasons I'm hoping this is his last season is because everything there has become very cozy and centers so much around him to where I don't think he has to push as much anymore.

To me, Colin and Michael are the best WU anchors the show had ever had and I hope this is NOT the last season for either of them. Chloe, Heidi and Sarah can go away for good, though.

Bowen Yang with 10 things about living in NY

More Bowen Yang.  3 things:

1) The article is reeeeeally long.

B) I haven't read the whole thing yet because it's really long (see 1), but the beginning is interesting. 

iii) I don't even know if anyone without a sub to The New Yorker can read this.  I don't see a way to share.

Bowen Yang is sorry he's not your clown today

I’m really not impressed with the new additions. That tik toker especially is awful.

I don't have a good sense of any of them but I liked her in the waterslide sketch last week. Every time I wonder if I am seeing one of the new featured players I think wistfully of what a good job they did with the introductions of the 4 newbies when Marcello, Molly, Donovan, and Longfellow joined. I am having a hard time recognizing these 3 or retaining their names.
