A very punchable face7/5/2023 This recognition is valuable in connecting with readers who may be skeptical of his awareness. Jost writes of himself, but also knows his place. As a person of privilege, he inherently stands apart from many disadvantaged groups, and lays this out point-blank. The truth of the matter is that Jost is white, male and of affluent upbringing. In the introduction, he speaks on his heritage and comically points out that “it’s never a good sign when your German side is the less repressed one.” The memoir is understandably about Jost, but he goes about his centrality very carefully. His memoir “A Very Punchable Face,” released July 14, is composed of essays on formative - and, of course, humorous - life experiences. Most recently, Jost has also become an author. Colin Jost has been a writer for “Saturday Night Live” since 2005 and co-anchor for the variety show’s “Weekend Update” since 2014.
