I love that they're giving Cecily MAD praise here... She's so deserving!
Cecily is that you? Lol
100% ua-cam.com/video/RGsQES_OdrQ/v-deo.html
I love that too, but why after teaming up with Seth to anchor the news his last year, was she replaced by Che & Jost? Always looked at that as a demotion,

Topher Stott TY 😊
Now I understand the vibe when Seth interviews Jost and Che. It's awkward because Jost and Che are best friends but Seth and Jost's relationship goes waaay back. For Che it's like you're going for an interview where the host is you partner's Ex and they're still friends.
LOL!!!
LOL! Yas, i totally see it too! In fact usally adds this extra level of entertainment for me seeing how Micheal reacts xD
Can we talk about the fact that two straight men, on mainstream, network TV just very, perfectly normally exchanged "I love you"s?
This is the wholesome content we need! Normalize this! Wholesome AF, boys!
It's not for the first-ever time with Mr Seth Meyers, he has already done it with..
I've said that to my best friends over the years. We're like brothers after all.
Came to say this!! So so sweet. 🥺 Seth always says it to snl people, esp Bill, Andy, and John 💕
The “I love you”s at the end were just so perfect 💗 Like you can see that they really do have a true friendship
That “I love you” at the end was so sincere and sweet
Not to sound like a publicist but the book that Colin just wrote is called “a very punchable face.“ I just felt like the name of the book should be somewhere on this page.
Seldom Played the fact that it isn’t is why I love these white guys.
He is living a charmed life. I thin what makes him so good is that he i still pretty humble, but yeah, he earned his fame on SNL by talent, and obviously he must be a pretty great guy to win the heart of Scarlett.
I was literally just looking for this information
Michael Agius got the audio version and I LOVED it.
“Called”??
Or ‘titled’?
Cecily does do an excellent job with that character. It was all too real l, as we have all had a conversation with someone like that.
Another cast member, who knocked it out of the park the first time out is Heidi Gardner with her "Every Boxer's Girlfriend" character.
Yeah, Heidi rose up quick.
Che's crazy neighbor is the best one
Look.... she’s gonna be at her sister’s house. Do you know that? Does Colin know that? Cause she’s gonna be at her sister’s.
@@michealmcneal2259 Cathy Ann?
@@Toast960 yes
What an incredibly generous head writer Seth was. Thank you for that little gem, Colin. You two are so much fun to listen to.
okay now let's give cecily her emmy nomination!!!! it's so ridiculous that she hasn't ever been nominated. #justiceforcecily
update: congratulations EMMY NOMINATED CECILY STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That "girl you wish you hadn't started a conversation with at a party" is so specific and yet so universal.
This made me look at Colin in a new light. Some of his writing is what I enjoyed most on SNL.
I love the rapport & respect between you guys. You don't see that very often in show business.
Seth hanging out with his friends is so much fun to watch. It’s so cutie
Same. My favorite interviews of his are with old SNL cast or his current writers, like Amber. A few of his comic friends, too.
Can we talk about how cute Colin looks?
"I love you." That's so sweet. I Stand straight men saying 'l love you' to each other.
A full interview with Colin without even the mention of ScarJo... Wow... These guys are real buds,.. 😀😉
What skin routine is Scar-Jo putting him on?? He looks like an animatronic with flawless skin.
Thank you. I thought I had lost my mind (more so) and that SNL was run by 11 year olds. Human skin doesn’t look like that. You can’t FaceTune live as far as I know but Colin seriously has the “Beauty mode” activated on whatever camera he’s using. He literally doesn’t have pores.
Makeup?
They make filters for that.
Toby Bartlett I’m not saying he’s using one, but you can filter “live” streaming.
j bre > I was mostly kidding, but I am curious to know what camera can stream live video with a filter. I did some Googling (probably not using the right words) and I couldn’t find one. I am asking because so many people I know want this feature, and I’m a bit of a tech geek but not enough to know this. Any info would be appreciated. ✌️
Colin’s full-body laugh and Seth’s giggles send tweet
I love him. Smart and funny...and Seth isn’t bad either
as a huge fan of snl and both these guys, i just love how much light they shine on what makes a good comedy writer on that show. Like having to write in someone else’s voice definitely isnt easy, especially when a cast member’s voice is so distinct and unique, so to be able to come up funny sketches that just click is something im totally in awe of. Just speaking as a fan of both seth and colin hehehe
My ex best friend is zactly like the Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation with at a Party. If I ever start to miss her, I rewatch the sketches, laugh, and stop missing her. 😂
Awww. Maybe you should call her.
Jost is 🤬 BEAUTIFUL!!! His smile and laugh are EVERYTHING!!! 😭💗
Props to Queen Cecily! 🙌
I could have watched a whole lot more of that. Both of them smart, funny, genuinely affectionate, and easy on the eyes. Had they brought in Seth's brother Josh, I think my screen would have exploded from cuteness and toothy smiles.
Favourite weekend update guest: Cecily Strong as "The woman that yells outside my window"
Cathy Ann is the bestest!!!
"Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation with at a Party" is the female version of Donald Trump when he was young.
Bwahahahahaha!
Thing is..
Once you cross borders, you won't need to bring-up "Dotard" to find them amongst the politicos.
I love how they say I love you at the end. That’s a true friendship!
What a perfect start to another day in hell. These guys are genuinely beautiful together!!! Genius minds collide♥️
Can we talk about how cute Colin looks?
We most certainly can not. If anything, let's acknowledge Seth's dilfiness factor.
This is what I want to see in a talk show. The guy is a comedy writer, I want to hear about how he does it, what he thinks about the performers doing it. I don't want to hear some cute story about their past. I recently saw on a British talk show the woman who played Paul Rudd's wife in the show where he gets cloned. She talked about doing the love scene and how difficult it was. It was hilarious and informative at the same time.
That's Aisling Bea! She's incredible! She just won a BAFTA for the show she wrote on Hulu, This Way Up - it's SO good.
I love that this didn't even feel like a show interview but like a zoom call between friends that got posted on UA-cam
Drunk Uncle is hands down my favorite recurring SNL character
I call it “drunk girl you originally thought was hot at a party”. 😂
You guys are great together, you both brought SNL back like it should be, funny AGAIN!!!
Omfg jost helped come up with drunk uncle?!😂😂 and many of my other favs
Cecily Strong is that dude. Love the respect these guys give her.
".. and you'd just done it with her.."
The sketch! He means the sketch.
Ha ha ha!! I laughed inside at that as well. Does that mean "we" have dirty minds?? LOL!!
Collin talks with his hands 🤣 and sorry but it’s great to see how often he touches his nose in this interview .. shows also what a great actor he is on snl he does not talk with his hands or touch his face .. he seems like such a fun guy .. thanks for this interview 😊
"Oh no, my wife loves all your ideas"......yup, there's definitely a story there.
"all of our wives love your ideas the most"-Jost is clearly working the staff parties.
@@elnuffio Yeah that plural immediate made me wanna know more about Jost's ideas vis-à-vis all those wives........ 🙃
anthony crespino had me dying
Drunk Uncle is my all time favorite WU character 😂❤️ okay!?!
Joking...I love Seth. Love him
Cecily got talent big time
She's average and Colin is a mediocre writer. Those characters are not even by far the most memorable of SNL. SNL hasn't been that good in years tbh!
her and kate are so talented!! Heidi and chloe are definitely gonna take over after cecily and kate leave
"It's origami. That's Spanish for goose."
Dudes be giggling.
And?
Cecily is a fucking comedy goddess!
Drunk Uncle and “…Girl at a party…” are two of the funniest SNL bits in the history of the show.
I can see Colin doing late night in a couple of years.....
Omg yes!!
I'm not sure about that. I like the guy, he's generous, open, and humble... but seems a bit too reserved to host an interview show. And while he might be a brilliant sketch writer, his own stand-up delivery is quite stiff.
I could see him working with Peacock streaming in some capacity.
This is not Colin, it's Mayor Pete.his best character.
I love Cecily's bit, it's my favorite
Cecily Strong is a national treasure🥇
i can see Jost taking Seth's job in about 7 years. Late Night with Colin Jost
Maybe his own show?
Colin Josting Tonight
Just a few days ago, I thought of how great Cecile Strong was as ‘The girl you wished you hadn’t talked to at a party,’ and it made me think of other characters of messed-up people, and the first one that came to my mind was ‘Drunk Uncle’! So, to see this is surreal.
Those are two of the best characters on the show. I think they should write a skit for both of them - perhaps where they think they’re helping each other.
Made the snap decision to order Colin’s book during this video. Easiest decision I’ve made 😂
Ohh I love them both!!!
Jost wrote Drunk Uncle AND Anthony Crispino!?! Damn.
I LOVEEE GIRL YOU WISH YOU HADN'T STARTED A CONVERSATION WITH AT A PARTY!!!! I LOVE CECILY STRONG SMM AND IM GLAD THEY TALK ABT HER CUZ I LIVE I LIVE FOR THAT CHARACTER. I'VE BEEN SHOWING IT TO EVERYONE DURING QUARANTINE LOL
sorry i'm screaming, I just love the snl ladies. and the guys are pretty great too haha
wow, he's written a lot of amazing SNL characters
"All our wives love your ideas" have you seen the man Seth
2 of the funniest SNL players... Ever.
Hugs to u both!
It's nice to see the human side of people. Not edited and censored. There's a lot of that now.
I LOVED second hand news!!
Colin's white furry chair behind him makes him looks like he's carrying angel wings 🤣
Jost is the most. Seth is the betht.
Two of my favorite 2000s+ SNL cast 💛
i know the name of the character. cecily strong is fabulous. she can go into character- thats the sitch. thats what real actors/performers do.
Should've called him "drunkle".
Colin Jost is so gorgeous!😍
I love watching Collin but I made the mistake watching this with my morning coffee.
Cecily!!! #CONFEDERASHE
Angel wings behind Colin :) ?
bold of colin to assume that i don't know the official name of Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started A Conversation With At A Party
I love Drunk Uncle and The Girl you Wished you Would Have Never Started a Conversation at a Party . Melissa doing Dolly Parton even Sarah Sherman ripping Colin for counting the jews on the show . Such great comedy . The guy who just bought a boat , Baby Yoda . To those who say the show used to be good , wake up it's better then ever in it's 48th year . Love me some SNL
This was a GREAT interview...
I love you Seth :)
Seth got the most out of Cecily’s “Girl...” sketch. She was incredible doing that skit w/Seth, but when she moved to Michael Che, she was equally spectacular, but seemed to step up the “Girl’s” lunacy...
Great writing and acting by all...
Jordan calling Kobe "buddy"
what skin care line does colin use !? holy smokes
It's called "I need to be red carpet ready at all times now" by I'm engaged to a move star.
Hair, too
He also uses “I have no financial worries for the rest of my life” on his crow’s feet. Seems to be working well.
The way they write now, they just tell you what the joke is on the characters name.
Did Cecily Strong do Second City? It seems that Second City trains a lot of SNL folks, prepping them for SNL-elocution.
I don't think it was Second City, but one of the other big improv places in Chicago
@@joekelly9941 Oh,. OK. Cool. Thanks.
Cecily Strong did both Second City and iO. Iirc she got hired to SNL through the iO showcase, though.
We need more Cathy ann!!!!!
The I-love-you's!!!!!
My wife made me throw out that exact sweater thanks to this character. You owe me $50
can you post links to the sketches you are referring to? or are they somewhere in the description?
Just search in UA-cam for “snl drunk uncle” and “snl girl you wish you hadn’t started talking to”
ua-cam.com/video/ZpbWuYcdqD8/v-deo.html The girl you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party
ua-cam.com/video/dkuneZKbIXs/v-deo.html Drunk uncle
it’s like people forget there is a search function
As an old person, me, I am always amazed when I have to remind young people that’s there’s this really cool tool called the internet and you can search for ANYTHING with another tool called GOOGLE. Good luck
Druncle uncle...it is so wrong, yet so funny.
And Seth, where are you? Captain’s quarters?
Colin’s make up is 🔥
Nice skin Colin.
MandaFandaa
It’s so perfect I kinda hate him...
That love you at the end tho, so sweet you guys 💛
What, Colin Jost the author of Drunk Uncle!? But Colin seems soooo square.
I've parented two nieces and two nephews, three are still living with me. I often identify with drunk uncle. Thank you, Colin Jost!
If you guys are making bets on me , can I please get in on it ? Cause the rent is too damn high .
Drunk Uncle, Girl At a Party? Can these characters get names?
One *pitches* a perfect game. One does not *throw* a perfect game.
I think, even though I love him, Colin did some nose touching enhancements before this interview.
Cecily not only glances at her phone in that first sketch; she takes it out, takes a photo of Seth and then nonchalantly goes: "Instagram ..." She really is the best! It's on UA-cam, go check it out: ua-cam.com/video/Hekzz4Y93Fo/v-deo.html
Ok you to get a room
Guys, STAY SAFE!
Colin, stop touching your face!
They are both super tan.
Drunk Uncle was based on Bill Murray...
