It seems like 2024 is shaping up to be a banner year for Colin, what with hosting the Olympics in Paris and all.


SNL comedian Colin Jost is over the moon with joy! This well-known personality has an enticing opportunity coming up this fall. On July 31st, it was announced that he will be hosting a brand new version of America’s beloved game show – Jeopardy!. Starting August, Jost will host Prime Video’s upcoming production, and in response to his exciting news, he humorously said, “I am thrilled!”

As a long-time fan of Saturday Night Live (SNL), I must say that this year is shaping up to be quite an exciting one for Jost. Not only does he have the landmark 50th season of SNL to contend with, but he also continues co-hosting the show’s Weekend Update segment alongside Michael Che.

Pop Culture Jeopardy! – A Fresh Take on the Classic Game Show

In this competition, participants will be divided into teams of three. Each team should possess extensive knowledge across various fields such as Alternative Rock music, Marvel’s Avengers, Broadway shows, Mixed Martial Arts, Generation Z culture, and Zendaya. The goal is to win a tournament-style event for the coveted prize and the privilege to boast about their victory.

Speaking about Jost being the main host of the revamped franchise, Lauren Anderson from Amazon MGM Studios stated that his dry charm and deep understanding of popular culture set him apart as the ideal choice for the role.

In the upcoming season, it has been confirmed that Maya Rudolph will once again play the part of Vice President Kamala Harris in the late-night satirical comedy show. This decision was made on July 31, and given that Harris is expected to be the Democratic candidate for the 2024 election, we can anticipate her character’s appearance leading up to this event.

Since 2019, Rudolph has been portraying Harris, who turned 59 that year and made his debut on the political stage, running for the Democratic nomination for president. The beloved character brought Rudolph, aged 52 at the time, an Emmy Award in 2020.

Meanwhile, Jost is hosting the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
