‘Saturday Night Live’ Fans Have New Cast Quitting Theories After Colin Jost Rumors Fizzle
Lorne Michaels may not have to find a new anchor for Weekend Update, but will he need a new iceberg for the Titanic?
Contrary to what many Saturday Night Live fans expected, this past Saturday, the Season 50 finale didn’t feature Colin Jost tendering a tearful resignation after 20 years of service as both a writer and performer on the series. With his wife and perennial SNL host Scarlett Johansson on set, Jost and his long-time creative partner Michael Che performed yet another brutal joke swap segment as they shamefully snickered their way into the off-season with no mention of the wave of “Colin Jost is retiring” tweets, articles and Instagram Stories that preceded the night’s show.
Of course, the fact that Jost didn’t derail the historic SNL finale with an on-air resignation doesn’t mean that the Weekend Update great can’t just quietly pack his things during the summer break.
