dating colin jost would include...
headcanon: so like....what would dating Colin Jost & always coming to visit him on the show include? I feel like him seeing you in the crowd during update would make him so happy.
a/n: omg this is so good and cute and fresh, we love this!! happy to oblige :)
He would absolutely light up if he noticed you in the crowd during Update, especially if you didn’t tell him you were coming, which you were known to do on occasion.
You liked to surprise him, so sometimes you’d come to one of the tapings by getting a free ticket from Che or one of Colin’s writer friends.
Che would have this dumb smile once he realized Colin saw you and he’d turn to Colin like, “What’re you making that face for, man?”
And Colin’s smiling but trying to keep the show going so he just smiles at the camera with a little, “My S/O is here, and I didn’t realize they were coming. Hi, Y/N,” he laughs, waving at you.
However, if he knows you’re coming, he’s extra nervous because you’ll be right. there. in front of him.
He messes with his hair backstage so much because he wants to impress if he knows you’re there (and it drives the hair + makeup team crazy).
If you visit him during the week on set, he always makes sure the two of you can spend his lunch break together, even if it’s not very long or you can’t leave the studio.
He gives you personal tours of the studio like a nerd when you visit.
“This is where Che and I write for Update. And that’s the best water cooler on the floor. I can’t explain why, it just is.”
Che always brings you up on Update while on air so Colin gets nervous.
It’s always very sweet but you worry that it’s gonna get him fired or something (even though it wouldn’t happen!)
On the rare occasion that he actually gets to be in a sketch besides WU, you help him memorize his lines at home.
He runs Update jokes by you the night before he takes it to the rest of the Update writing team to get your input first.
You’ve written/added to a few jokes that have made it to air because of that.
Besides all that, you two love to take trips to the beach on hiatus and off-weeks.
Bike rides around the city!!!
Dinner dates are a MUST, especially on Sunday nights before work starts up again on Monday morning.
When he’s doing stand-up on off time, he loves telling stories about you.
You go to any local shows he has if it’s a big tour because you want to support him (and see what he’s saying about you ;P)
You two probably have a dog.
All in all, he’s very domestic. He loves cooking for you, he always gives you compliments and he texts you about everything and anything when he should be working.
You two have a sweet relationship and everyone knows you both are so happy and in love.
