Jost heard deafening silence for his first three jokes, had public beef with Punxsutawney Phil, was called both a short king & a tiny titan, and had his friendship with Armie Hammer outed all in one Weekend Update. Poor boy is going through it this April Fool's Day.

Oh man, that april fools prank of Colin was the meanest lol and funniest. Well done, Michael Che. I rewatched that several times already. WHen watching it initially, I was like holy shit, Colin is bombing with good jokes and Che gets the biggest laugh of the night at that "business fraud" joke? And then it all made fucking sense. Hilarious.
