Colin Jost Reveals the Celebrity Guest That Is ‘Especially Good’ at Hosting Saturday Night Live

Colin Jost has some favorites when it comes to celebrities who have hosted Saturday Night Live.

During an appearance on April 16’s episode of the iHeartPodcast Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi, Jost, 41, gave a shoutout to Adam Driver, who has hosted the show four times.

“Adam Driver is especially good at the table read,” the Weekend Update anchor said of the Marriage Story star, 40.

“He makes a choice for all those pieces, and an interesting choice, in the same way Will Ferrell does,” Jost added.

“Obviously he knows it in a whole other way,” Jost continued of Ferrell, 56, who joined SNL as a cast member in 1995 before leaving in 2002. The Barbie actor has hosted the show five times.

Driver last hosted SNL in Dec. 2023, while Ferrell’s most recent hosting appearance was in Nov. 2019. The Eurovision Song Contest star previously appeared as a guest host in May 2005, May 2009, May 2012, and Jan. 2018.

Meanwhile, Driver first appeared as a guest host in Jan. 2016, before returning in Sept. 2018 and Jan. 2020.

Elsewhere in Jost’s podcast interview, he shared some of his favorite activities to do with his son Cosmo, 2.

“One thing that’s really important with [Cosmo] is I take him swimming a lot whenever I can — like pool or ocean,” Jost, who shares Cosmo with his wife Scarlett Johansson, said.

“He’s only 2 and he’s a pretty good swimmer actually, like he’s almost independent swimming, which is kinda crazy. He’s a smart guy, too, such a fun kid,” Jost added. “I didn’t always love the competitive part of swimming, but I did love being in a pool and I’m very happy around water all the time. And that’s something I’d like to share with him in different ways.”
