Colin Jost shared his favorite opening scene Saturday Night Live and it goes back to one of the series’ most talked about moments.
While talking on the cut, he said the 2008 sketch with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is still the best in his eyes.
In that scene, Tina played Sarah Palin while Amy played Katie Couric, making a real interview very funny and memorable.
“If I’m doing a walkthrough and I’m going for a cold open, I think I’d put the Katie Couric-Sarah Palin interview in here,” Jost said.
The iconic comedian also said that the skit means a lot to him personally because it reminds him of his early days on the show.
“It’s nostalgic for me because it was early for me as a writer,” he explained.
“[Seth Meyers] wrote it. I’m sure Tina and Amy helped with that too.”
Jost also praised the trio, saying, “I think they’re two of the best that ever did it.”
However, Colin added that he still enjoys simple and short openings that focus on one strong idea and a solid performance.
