2. Please don't!!!!!

It's so bland. Time for a new show. They scrub all the edgy humor.

3. Colin Jost and Pete Buttigieg lived in the same dorm at Harvard...

...just a bit of trivia...

When Colin Jost stepped onto the Studio 8H stage in Pete Buttigieg’s trademark rolled-sleeved white button down and blue tie, he wasn’t just another comedian on Saturday Night Live mimicking a presidential candidate.

Jost was a SNL comedian imitating a former college dormmate.

Buttigieg and Jost have known each other for almost two decades. The two not only both graduated from Harvard University in 2004, but they both lived in the same dorm – Leverett House – during their time at the Ivy League institution and both graduated with honors in History & Literature. The two were not close at Harvard, then-friends and advisers told CNN, but the 2020 campaign offers them an unexpected reunion.

4. Colin Jost grew up on Staten Island

I have a feeling his political outlook is more liberal now than when he was a college kid.
