'SNL': Colin Jost Sparks Concern After Odd 'Weekend Update' Demeanor
Video of Colin Jost During 'SNL' Weekend Update
As shown in the opening part of Weekend Update, Jost takes a big breath in before launching into the segment and just seems a bit off. He delivered jokes about Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Kanye West but with a flat delivery that just seemed "off."

Some fans start guessing what could be up with the Coming 2 America actor. "Colin Jost has this look on his face like somethings going on backstage and he's pissed off," one person theorized. Another wrote, "He looked like he'd been told 10 seconds before [Weekend Update] that his family'd been taken hostage."

While there's no knowing if there was anything else going on with Jost, one thing soon became certain as the night went on. The comedian was clearly emotional about Cecily Strong leaving SNL. He embraced her at the end of her final Weekend Update segment and also popped out to sing with her at the very end of the program. The latter is an unusual move, being as Jost almost never participates in an on-screen capacity outside of Weekend Update.
