A Very Punchable Face
by Colin Jost
I haven’t been a regular viewer of Saturday Night Live in many years, and Colin Jost isn’t widely known outside of it, so I didn’t think i would get much out of his book. But after seeing so many great reviews, I decided to check out this memoir on audiobook, and what an absolute delight! He is just as funny as you would hope and expect him to be, and seems like a warm person with a pretty interesting story to tell. I especially appreciated the way he talked about his mother and her 9/11 efforts, as well as the bit when he gets high on a date and freaks out and calls her to come get him. I nearly peed my pants laughing. He does get a little bit too self depreciating and overly concerned with his weight. But I guess that goes to show that the 90s did a number on men as well as women in regards to fat shaming. Anyway, if you didn’t think that this book was for you, either, I would definitely rethink it!
