Colin Jost is reportedly considering leaving SNL after the election

Variety

The "Weekend Update" co-anchor reveals in his upcoming memoir A Very Punchable Face, due April 14, that he is mulling leaving Saturday Night Live, where he's worked for 15 years. According to Variety's Brian Steinberg, who obtained an uncorrected galley proof of the book, "Jost says he is 'preparing mentally' to leave the program sometime in the near future, suggesting he would like to continue co-anchoring 'Weekend Update' with Michael Che at least through the 2020 election. Jost cites a desire to try his hand at developing bigger, broader ideas, compared with the sketches on the show that sometimes result from 24 hours of feverish idea-hatching." Steinberg adds: "His departure is neither certain nor imminent."
