Comedian Colin Jost of Saturday Night Live fame is coming to Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford 8 p.m. Wednesday as part of the university’s anorama Series and Homecoming Week activities.

Ticket prices range from $10 to $79. Tickets on the day of show will increase to $20-$90. Tickets are available at stubwire.com at share.swosu. edu/ColinJostTickets.

Jost serves as a head writer at Saturday Night Live, television’s longest running and most successful sketch and comedy show. Jost has co-anchored “Weekend Update” alongside fellow cast member Michael Che since 2014.

Last summer, Jost debuted his memoir, A Very Punchable Face. The memoir is a series of essays, which documents pivotal moments in Jost’s life including growing up in Staten Island in a family of firefighters, commuting three hours a day to high school, attending Harvard while Facebook was created, and more. For every accomplishment and absurd moment, there is an honest, emotional one, told with a healthy dose of selfdeprecation.

Jost and his wife, actress Scarlett Johansson, and their new baby currently reside in New York.
