Some 'SNL' Fans Are Worried About Colin Jost’s Future On The Show, And They Could Have A Point

Weekend Update host Colin Jost has been working at "Saturday Night Live" for twenty years. He’s had multiple stints as Head Writer and has long been put forth as a possible successor for Lorne Michaels if/ when the creator and longtime showrunner steps down. If you listen to some hardcore "SNL" fans, however, his tenure on the show could be coming to an end.

The rumblings started this past week when "SNL" announced its upcoming hosts. We’re getting Walton Goggins and Scarlett Johansson to close the season. Now, as much as I love Walton Goggins, we can set him to the side. The person that matters is Scarlett Johansson, who, of course, is Colin Jost’s wife. She’s hosting the Season Finale, which will, according to the Internet, also mark Jost’s 200th time doing Weekend Update. There are many who believe that’s not a coincidence, and she may have been brought in to help give her husband the epic send-off he deserves.
