    I love Colin and Seth together, they are very similar but also kind of their own brands of humor and they blend beautifully

    Colin, it’s an easy mistake. My mom was “29” for a long, long time. I was really good in math but I believed her until I was about 10.
  • @kstepko
    My mother did this for years - and she taught elementary school, so was always believed, as little kids think that 21 sounds very old. Once I turned 21, she upped it to 30.

    To anyone that enjoys Colin and haven’t read or listened to his book - I recently listened to his audiobook and it was excellent. Funny, interesting, sweet. I already liked him but I like him even more now ❤
  • @Birdsong-Annalee
    I love that Colin's son is riding a bike at age 2. What a precocious child!
  • @KrakenIsland64
    The audience totally missed "First the titanic, now the submarine", don't worry Colin, I laughed.
  • @kevinhartung8429
    I always love when someone from SNL is a guest as we know we're definitely in for some laughs. My faves are ones that Seth actually worked with.
  • @LidiaScherArt
    What a funny interview while having my lunch! I enjoyed it enormously. Colin's demeanor, coupled with his baby face is priceless!
  • @heyscot
    Such a great interview between two frickin' awesome comics.
  • My mom did the same thing. I didn’t know how old she really was until I was in my thirties. 😂
  • @sjwhite54
    Omg. You two are HILARIOUS! Thanks for the laughs! 🤣

    Love Colin Jost. Glad to hear he's got other stuff going on that's working well. Would watch, but I have no clue where to find his podcast. A link to it would've been super nice of you, Seth. (Hoping people understand this is a joke to give Seth a hard time and I'm not being serious.) - Love from a jackal

    "Everything I do that gets good reviews... I'm surprised." His ego is the anti-Kanye.

    My folks are perpetually 35 in my head. I don't know why, lol. A coworker & I were just talking about this phenomenon last weekend & she thinks of her parents as always being a certain age also & it's not from our parents saying they're younger either. Weird, I know! Condolences, Colin. I'm so thankful you & your grandma got to have each other as long as you did. One of my great-grandmas (from NY) was 108 when she passed. She lived in 3 centuries! (1898-2006) She was one of the strongest people I've ever known. She lost her husband (my great-grandpa) & 2 of her brothers & their best friend on their fishing boat in the "Long Island Express" - the Great New England Hurricane of 1938. So she had 4 young boys to raise through the Great Depression & WWII. I'm so thankful I got to have so many grandparents & great-grandparents for so long in my life & know them well. Thinking of you both, Colin & Seth, & your families & lifting up all of you. Thank you for helping us through the tough times, too! Take good care.
