Colin Jost is returning to Madison to prove he\u2019s more than just fianc\u00e9 Scarlett Johansson\u2019s arm candy.<\/p>\n

The Saturday Night Live<\/em> co-head writer will perform at the Orpheum Theater on Wednesday, May 27, it was announced<\/a> this morning. Jost is on tour this spring<\/a> doing stand-up and promoting a memoir<\/a> that will be released on April 14, titled A Very Punchable Face<\/em>. Said punchable face was last in town two years ago<\/a> for a multi-show run at Comedy on State.<\/p>\n

Though best known as the co-anchor since 2014 of SNL<\/em>\u2019s \u201cWeekend Update,\u201d the 37-year-old has actually been with the NBC late-night show since 2005. Hired just out of Harvard as a writer at 22, Jost currently shares the Update desk with Michael Che. Behind the scenes, he\u2019s also written some great sketches, including this one starring Jon Hamm and Will Forte:<\/p>\n

This was one of the first sketches I wrote for SNL, featuring the great Will Forte aka @OrvilleIV<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/AuiHRnNyGv<\/a>
