Colin Jost almost shaved his hair off on SNL
In a rare moment of live-TV crisis, Colin Jost almost got his head shaved during an event snl sketch.
Launched in 2018, Jost and Michael Che’s biennial Weekend Update Joke Swap pushes the boundaries further with each installment. In this segment each anchor is required to read jokes written by the other without seeing them first. The Weekend Update co-host may clearly be intimidated by this, but he keeps coming over to swap jokes with Che.
Last year, he had to deliver Jokes about his wife Scarlett Johansson while she looks at the camera from backstage. But for the season 51 finale of Saturday Night Live, Che upped the stakes by putting Jost’s hair on hold.
Colin Jost apologized during the segment after reading a joke that claimed rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West, “was right about Hitler”, which the bit described as “offending everyone”.
He added, “To apologize, I would like to sacrifice the most important thing in my life: my beautiful, award-winning, world-famous… hair.”
As he walked over, the comedian looked clearly unsteady. “That’s right, I’m shaving it. Call the barber!” He said.
On cue, a barber entered with a razor. Visibly shaken but determined, Jost signaled that she was ready, declaring, “Jerome, make me beautiful!”
Luckily, Michael Che felt sorry for him and intervened as Razor headed towards Jost’s head. Che yelled at the barber to stop, then turned to Jost, who collapsed on the table.
“You were really gonna do that?! Man, you’re the greatest comedian of all time,” he said. Jost admitted with a relieved laugh that he was scared.
However, his commitment continued. Later, during the season’s final Good Night, as a joke, Colin Jost was reportedly seen on stage in a bald cap look, which stunned fans.
