Colin Jost trolled by SNL co-star in birthday post
Michael Che roasts friend and SNL co-star Colin Jost through a series of unforgettable snaps on Instagram. In only his third Instagram post, Che writes on a black slide: “happy bday to my good buddy, colin jessica jost.” Notably, Colin’s middle name is Kelly.
In the next slide, Che penned: “I think back to all the stupid fights we had throughout the years.. like when you came to work with that racist puppet.. or when you kept doing Nazi salutes to our fans on tour.. or when you got our first magazine cover cancelled cause I was ‘making stupid faces’.. or when you INSISTED on getting R. Kelly on the show.”
Che continued: “Or when you took me to that ‘whites only store’.. or when you got us beat up at WrestleMania.. or all the times I had to stand there and listen to you and Scarlett argue at work and I just had to stand there like, ‘ohhh kayyy..’ Or when Harry Styles gave us flowers and you gaslit me cause you said, ‘I don’t think he likes me,’ and you got all mad like, ‘He got us the exact same thing!! You’re just being reverse racist again!!’.. or that time when the FBI thought we were dating..”
The carousel included a candid snap with Jost’s superstar wife, Scarlett Johansson, and some humorous moments from their skits together. Notably, the carousel also highlighted the duo’s long-standing friendship with some real and some photoshopped photos.
These photos also included their 2019 WrestleMania bout and an edited version of their 2018 Variety magazine cover. The comments section shared hilarious reactions to Che’s birthday tribute for Jost. One user commented: “this is more romantic than most wedding vows.” A second user wrote: “I love that there’s photo evidence of all accusations.”
