If you’re in the mood to laugh.  If you love sarcasm.  If you find self-deprecating stories endearing.  If you’re a fan of SNL.  THIS is your next read. (Actually, I strongly recommend listening to this one.  Jost is quite the storyteller.)  

 

This book brought me hours of smiles, laughter, and enjoyment.  I have watched Jost on SNL and found him funny and entertaining.  But he thoroughly charmed me in his memoir.  His stories ranged from outlandish (chapter title: “Okay, So Maybe I’ve $h!t My Pants a Couple Times) to warm (chapter title: Why I Love My Mom) to absolute hysterical (pretty much the whole thing but specifically the chapter: The Time Jimmy Buffett Saved My Life).  And as a bonus, he sprinkles in plenty of anecdotes about SNL and castmates.  

 

Jost is irreverent, authentic, and just plain funny.  I enjoyed every laugh out loud moment.
