It’s a safe bet that many of us remember where we were at the time the attacks happened, and the story Colin retells is so chilling that I remember where I was while I was listening to this portion of the book: I was putting my 6-month-old baby to bed, rocking him to sleep. Colin’s mom was the NYFD’s doctor and Colin recounts her experience on the ground the day of the 9/11 attacks. The most chilling, impactful story he told, however, was one that centred around his mother. Bart’s had to be one of my favourites, and the anger in Colin’s voice on the audiobook as he describes what happened to him at the Google offices had me laughing out loud. I think his surfing story with Jimmy Buffet in St. I was so excited when he announced he would be writing a book that I preordered it on Audible as soon as it became available to me.Ī Very Punchable Face did not disappoint: Colin tells tales of his childhood, of his time as a SNL writer and everything in between. I enjoy his banter on Weekend Update with Michael Che, and he has written some of the funniest sketches in the last decade. That being said, this review won’t be very long, but what it will be is glowing.Ĭolin Jost, Head Writer of Saturday Night Live, has been a favourite of mine in recent years. I’m a little annoyed at myself for not writing a review for A Very Punchable Face right after I read it last summer, but I guess I was busy with other things (mom life during a pandemic! Who knew it would be busy?) and didn’t get around to it.
