Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photos: Getty On Tuesday, the New York Post reported that America’s favorite funnyman, Colin Jost , sold his West Village duplex for $2.5 million. Jost bought the place in 2011, six years after he joined Saturday Night Live as a writer, and the photos from the listing make the place look kind of … eh? Jost furnished his home like someone who doesn’t know what to do with his design budget.
Davidson’s home has always been central to his lore. For several years into his time at SNL, he still lived with his mom — and not only that: He lived in the basement at his mom’s house. This was a Rorschach test: You could view it as a red flag or as Davidson being a humble mama’s boy unaffected by fame.
The Foosball and the couch hint at another answer to the question of questionable SNL men’s housing: These guys live on a college-student schedule. SNL cast, writers, and producers work through the night on Tuesdays and long into the evening for the rest of the week from October through May. The tight production schedule on each episode is structured so that the team lives in a perpetual state of term-paper cramming.
Because they bought a ferry?
This magazine is so irrelevant!
How many Curbed writers does it take to afford Colin Jost’s apartment?
