Colin Jost Reveals Why He Named His Baby Cosmo - Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Colin Jost Reveals Why...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
Whenever I hear the name Cosmo, I always think of The Fairly Odd Parents.
That's what I was thinking! Up till then it was Kramer & my moms hair stylist in NJ. Best colorist too.
I was gonna say this is a real generational thing. Luckily for him that show isn't on anymore so his teachers might make the connection but his classmates wouldn't
if their next child is named Timmy or Wanda we'll know they are fans
Same
or cosmo from moonstruck which by the way, love that movie
Cosmo is a great name. He’ll enter rooms by opening the door very fast while sliding in and then act surprised to see you there.
Very nice
Yes
“Y-y-y-yeah!”
And, as we can see from the infant's face, he may be a loathsome offensive brute, but how can any of us look away?
Oh, I'm stressed!
i love how Seth joked that Colin didn't have much going on immediately right before saying "You just had a baby."
This is Che's way of protecting Colin from when he actually does something worth getting cancelled over.
pro comment.
I feel like it's really rude of the crew to immediately laugh at the photo of Cosmo. He's a beautiful baby
🤣🤣🤣
@Crab Meat There are only like 3 people IN the audience lol. There is no studio audience right now
I saw this before that part lmao 🤣 you got me!
@@spiritualsandy same😂 i really thought they showed a picture of Cosmo😂 I was like but why would they laugh
This reminds me of that New Girl scene where Winston says he named his baby “Danbill Bishop” and the rest of the characters are so perplexed by it.
Daniel William? Nah...
YOURE SO RIGHT
oh boy, I miss the shenanigans between Nick, Schmidt and Winnie the Bish
@@digo0981 don’t we all?
@@mslizzieforbes yes we do!
I love that they seem to be having more fun talking to each other than the crowd. Like two old friends that no one else knows the inside joke
Che-Jost-Meyers seem like they’d be so cool to hang with as a group
I can't help but think of Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld and how they built like an entire episode around the discovery of his first name. And off topic - I really like Colin's face. It's just so cute and cheerful. 😙
I'm glad someone finally mentioned this. There were a ton of ads for peyronie's disease during the Ryder Cup the other week. Had me cracking up.
This absolutely does not explain why he named his son Cosmo.
I WAS THINKING THAT!!!
because they loke the name
Ps cosmo means universe in italian, but as a name means harmony, moderation, order, beauty
This should be a correction
Or you know, Seinfeld?
The picture reveal was so much funnier than I thought it would be 🤣
I would have thought Colin Jost was pretty stiff but after watching this appearance I can see why Scarlett likes him. 👍 He would probably keep me laughing all the time.
Never forget Cosmo Topper! Such a dapper dude! :D
a blast from the past! I loved those movies and tv show. So funny. Thanks for reminding me
You must be OLLLDDDDD!!!
@@samuelsmith5773 And damn proud of it. ;D
That's what I thought of first! Billie Burke saying "Cooosmooo"
I had a friend's dad's name was Cosimo Antonio Serio. What a great guy he was. Everyone just called him Gus. Lots of fond memories of him and his family.
No, I think they called him Dave.
When I first heard Cosmo, I thought Kramer's character in Seinfeld. Hey, there are worse names for a baby !!
Me too!!
I thought of the dog from Full House.
Not much worse, but for a celebrity baby, it's pretty good.
I came here to ask that! That was a hilarious episode!🤣🤣🤣
Cosmo makes me think of Donald O'Connor in Singing In The Rain so I don't hate it as much as everyone else seems to.
that’s the first thing I thought of too 🙌🏻 love that movie!
@This Will Get Me Banned Again hehehehe 🤣
I was thinking Fairly Oddparents, but hey, you do you.
@@canaisyoung3601 or Seinfeld 🤷🏻♀️
@@canaisyoung3601 Ooh, that's good as well.
I thought the onesie that Che sent was gonna be Colin-sized LOL
Yeah, I was waiting for that too, but the payoff of liitle Cosmo wearing a 'Cancel Dad' onesie was totally worth it 😁
I imagine that having Michael Che as your friend keeps you pretty grounded.
Seth puts it on a tee and Colin knocked it out of the park with "It has too much dogleg"
I thought they named him cosmo because it’s a flower and Scarlett’s daughter is called rose so both her kids would be named after flowers which it cute
The flower is Cosmos, not Cosmo
Cosmo always reminds me of Cosmo Castorini from one of my all-time favorite movies, Moonstruck.
One of my favorite t-shirts that our kids had said, "Parents for sale. Buy one, get one free."
I love the name Cosmo. As a teenager a while back, I met a cute guy at Bass Lake, California named Cosmo. I thought it was a great name then and still do. Bravo!
They should've shown a picture of Cosmo Kramer
Cosimo is read differently, the accent is on the first O, not the I.
By an Italian living in Italy
Ps cosmo means universe in italian, but as a name means harmony, moderation, order, beauty
I love the way that sounds!
Cosmos means universe in English
Cosmo also means universe everywhere else🤣
You can't just make up meanings for words used as names. "Cosmo" don't just up and mean something new when you give it to a baby. It still means universe.
Thank you! Great info.
...Co-Jo, Scar-Jo and lil' Cos-mo.
Jost is honestly one of my new favs.
Watching this, now knowing that Seth also had a newborn at home, is certainly something.
I feel like Jost must have hypnotized ScarJo and that is why they are together and she agreed to name the kid Cosimo
Oh, there's definitely some brainwashing happening there.
@Barry Lyndon I'm afraid to say this (due to her crazy fans) but she seems a little cold to me. Always have.
He has payronis disease and it hits just the right spot. That's my theory
This marriage won't last most likely because of her gargantuan income compared to his.
@Barry Lyndon it doesn't matter much, either way their money's compound interest will grow to cover them independently forever even if they stopped working tomorrow 🤷♂️ enjoy waking up for work tomorrow to make your lazy boss money off your labor 😂
Named after Cosmo Topper, of course. I loved that character & had totally forgotten about him, until now.
Do this ALL the time! Get Che on here. Dynamic trio.
Great interview! Seth genuinely shows so much joy doing what he does. #flattenthebend 🤣😂🤣😂
I especially enjoy when he has a dear friends on and they tell each other “I love you.” I think it’s sweet.
Poor kid.
Just like Kramer, he’s gonna go by “Jost” his whole life
TBF, "Jost" honestly kinda plays as a given name; it's got a real nice balance of unique and familiar-sounding going. It just might work!
And by Jost you mean Johansson, right?
@@conradogarcia2100 I suppose the kid could split the difference and go by JoJo, but that'd just be asking for all sorts of bizzare adventures.
@@Fathimir Ha. I see what you did there😉 That’s especially clever, since she was in that movie.
@@Fathimir Lol
Lol I am probably the age of Colin’s mother and I am on the same page with her. While Cosmo is an interesting name (shout out to all the great Cosmos out there) I have never met one in real life, so I immediately think of Cosmo Kramer…🤷🏽♀️😁 It definitely sounds old school to me.
Yes, Kramer, an unfortunate association.
My friends son, 11, is a Kosmo Joe and he is a unique fellow.
I'd be like, "Cosmo is a single woman's cat's name. I'll call him Brad."
My cat's name is Cosmo
I had a cat named Brad.
My pig's name is Cosmo...he's wonderful.
@@FVWhimsy2010 do you have a cat?
I call all Brads Cosmo
I mean he’s right,there are always a billion ads about diseases on commercial breaks
Osempic and Keytruna come to mind.
I hate that I know two so easily.
@@tonyarichards5430 don’t forget Rexulti
Considering that he fell ass backwards into money, I think Cosmo is a perfect name.
😆
👌 Perfect 😂
ahhhhhhh Colin's mom sounds perfect🤗❤️
could someone PLEASE mention to Colin: Please become tucker carlson on Weekly Update, PLEASE. WE NEED YOU
My first Red Point Siamese cat was ‘Cosmo’ ( he looked like he was from another planet) and now I have a new kitten also a Red point Siamese named ‘Cosi Bro Jnr’ 😸 The best babies ever 😁😍
I had a calico of the same name.
I think it’s the initials in Scarlett and Colin’s entire names. I sat down and it made perfect sense! They’re very private people. They have no social media pages, etc. I like that!
My great grandma didn’t like any names chosen but once she was able to make a nickname she was on board
Isn’t Cosmo the name of the funny friend in Singing in the Rain?
Yep, Don O'Connor's character!
The one who Makes Em Laugh!
Yes Cosmo Brown!
Colin Jost talks about seeing Peyronie's disease commercials, his mom’s reaction to his son’s name and his friendship with Michael Che while I wait for anyone to mention Kramer once.
I remember 'Cosmos and Damien' mentioned in some litany from my early days as a parocher joker. Also, I named my absolutely favorite (out of six) cockatiel Cosmo. He was a real love, so cool.
Saints Cosmas and Damien are mentioned in one of the Eucharistic Prayers in Catholic mass
Thirty five years ago when I first became a nurse I took care of several elderly Italian men named Cosmo. But I will always think of Kramer.
I know an adult man named Cosmo, he’s a curator and he’s wonderful. Keep your opinions to yourselves and teach your kids not to be little asshole bullies instead of dictating what other people name their kids.
Yep, because kids always follow their parents instructions, especially at school with their peers. Calm yourself down.
Yeah! It’s none of our beeswax
You're missing the joke. It's laughing with, not at.
I feel like it's strange that yelling about imaginary children is where you went with this, considering the whole joke was about his mother having trouble coming to grips with it. I mean, I feel like this damage is more to do with you than anything that's actually ever going to happen.
@@bakerfritz4681 I didn't write this comment in the hopes his mom would visit Seth Meyers comment section, Jenny. I was responding to the comments saying he'll be bullied at school, If you actually read my comment you might have worked that out all by yourself.
Congratulations Colin, So happy for both of you!
Saint Cosmos had a Saint twin named Damian-- so, I def approve!
Ahhh he's my favourite! So cute
This is actually the exact same way I would have acted soon after having a child.
Colin, Cosmo was Kramer's 1st Name on "Seinfeld".
Your Son has a Famous Name. Congrats🎉
I'm old enough to remember Cosmo in Topper.
You know what the first thing I think of when I see Colin Jost? Massive hippie Energy
His voice was so high at the very beginning when he said "I'm great, I'm great" hahah
I really like name Cosmo it's nice 💙💙!!
My parents called me Cosmo before I was born until they had a name, so I really like it. I get why people think it’s weird for a celebrity baby though.
Jason Lee named his kid
“Pilot Inspektor Lee”
Cosmo’s gonna be just fine when he grows up
My grandfather and father, both named Cosmo. It’s a great name❤️
Uh I actually suffered from this disease and I actually recovered thanks to my youth but it was the worst pain and worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my whole life. I would never wish it on anyone!
LIL BABY COSMO!!
He wants him to be the editor of Cosmopolitan?
Imagining be cosmo you go online and go oh why did dad name me that? Then you get the first half😂
Cosimo de Medici is a very well known Italian banker and politician . He established the Medici family as rulers of Florence. That would be a good name too. ☺️
Both Colin and Seth were both definitely high lol!!! 😂🤣😅🥲☺️😎
I have a cat named “Kosmo”. It’s a wonderful name. (spelling with a K is intentional)
Nobody cares.
@@andybaldman perhaps someone does
@@critterkarma Nope. Nobody here. This is the internet.
@@critterkarma I care...
@@andybaldman hey Dude, how ironic, if you didn’t care you wouldn’t have responded to my reply. 😂😂😂 Have a wonderful time online. 🙏
My mom consistently tried to “change” our kids names. It was the weirdest thing!
I used to have a friend named Cosmas. We call him Cosmo occasionally because it sounds cool. And he down with it.
I admire Che's commitment to making Host's life hell. Way to keep egos in check
And the influence of Cosmo Topper continues
Cosmo Kramer 🤷♀️ one of the best characters on TV
MY EYES!!!!! I had to google The wonky eggplant disease. I need therapy now.
Oh no now I gotta check it out too Lol! 😳
Hopefully in the next few years they will be welcoming a little Wanda into the family.
Cosmo and Wanda... Jost should have brought a pic of Cosmo
He and his wife picked a name they liked for their baby boy periodtttt.
I'm cosmo jerry, cosmo Kramer!!
Great interview. "Cosmo"is also Kramer's first name on Seinfeld.
Flatten the bend! Love it
i just cant wait for his child to see the title and then watch the interview
Wouldn't "straighten the bend" work better than "flatten the bend"? We are still talking about a delicate area after all
I think it would be "flatten the curve".
@@yndsu LMAO
The joke was about covid flatten the curve...
This is the explanation video I have been waiting for and NEEDING.
“Cosmo Jost” couldn’t you think about the future life of this kid with such a name….
This entire video video is a comedy skit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I wasn't ready.
Cosmo is a great name. The first thing I thought of was SEINFELD's Cosmo Kramer. Giddy-up!
He was named after Cosmo Kramer, who knew? ScarJo must be a big Sienfeld stan
I Love You Colin Jost
I don’t like the name but not my kid. But really it’s not like he’s going to held back from success by it. His parents are super rich.
And he'll go to school with a bunch of other kids whose parents are also rich morons and gave their kids similarly stupid names.
The kid's still going to want others to want to get to know him, money or not.
@@pamelaporter4750 True. I just meant like he won't have to scramble for jobs like the rest of us plebs.
He's a big Seinfeld fan.
I think Kramer spelled his with a "K".
P Watson But that would've been too obvious.
@@Tussenio
So Colin really IS a Seinfeld fan...and he named his kid Cosmo?
P Watson I have no idea, but it makes for a great anecdote every time Cosmo runs into a room.
Anyway, I prefer Cosmo Jost to Jerry Jost.
@@Tussenio
Hahaha! So do I!
Can you imagine, Jerry Johansson Jost? LoL!
Cosmo reminds me of Singing in the Rain
Jackal alert: someone should explain to graphics what an eggplant or squash looks like. 😀 But, to their credit, they didn't put a photo of a Peroni beer so...
They HAD to have done it on purpose to bait the jackals
I swear that's a cucumber.
Yep, looked it up. This isn't even a squash, let alone an eggplant
@@mercyxmutual I know they're just flirting with me. And I love it. See you on Monday Graphics. 😘
foreversocal I love that you had to look it up to confirm it was indeed a cucumber 😆
graphics rn: ohhh did we use a picture of the wrong vegetable...??? 😏
I cannot imagine being at home and suddenly asking your wife the most randomest question "honey, do you think I pay peyroine's disease?"
After watching him with Seth Meyers, I could really see Jost moving on to late night TV.
Cosimo is a very ancient italian name, and for english speakers the pronunciation is like "Cosmo". That's why his mom misunderstood it. But it"s a nice name, I liked it!!
Goddamn that was the best intro bit [even if it was serious] in a few
Seth and Colin sound the same :D
I love the name Cosmo 🥰
In case anyone was wondering, according to a 2016 study in the U.S., Peyronie's Disease is estimated to affect 0.5% of adult males. This works out to be about 5 million of the 100 million adult males in the U.S., alone.
Cosmo as in Kramer on Seinfeld? I love it♥️
may sound cheeky but who wouldnt be great wakin up with scarlett?
