I love Jost he got invited to do a speech for one of the most important black comedians of all time and thought "I could say what he meant to me but that's not the joke. He's winning an award named after a famous author who used the N-word A LOT.... let's just joke about that." I love that he's willing to be the butt of the joke. Not to discount Kenan and Michael but I just appreciate how they invited one of the longest-running SNL cast members and a black head writer and then Jost realizes "Actually Dave probably means something more special to them, I'm going to talk about Mark Twain."

Colin Jost...thats my guy. I mean, they're up there roasting Chappelle...so the RIGHT WAY to do that, is how these cats did it. But Jost nailed Dave's approach to comedy "get the audience as close as humanly possible to that part of the joke that makes everybody EXTREMELY uncomfortable, and then let the audience decide how funny it is"...and then sometimes, whatever that is, aint funny. And so the comic then becomes a social commentator..and at his core, thats really who Dave is. And he's a genius at it.

The three of them together sharing one sentiment was really sweet to see. They were there as a proxy for the entirety of SNL: Kenan talking about his influence over the show, Che talking about his influence over the individuals who know him, and Colin peppering in a really funny joke in good spirits. This is one of my favorite speeches at any Twain Prize presentation, right next to Jon Stewart's on Chapelle and Chapelle's on Stewart.

I think Jost has power over how many sketches Kenan is in, and may be Chė's boss too. Neither one has ever had a moment of doubt playing off of him, nor tried to publicly call him out. He genuinely surprised them and had them worried he might humiliate everyone. And they KNOW him. THAT Is hilarious. How did Jost pull this off with his two close friends and colleagues?
