Colin Jost Honors Late Grandfather Through Biden's 'Decency' At WH Correspondents' Dinner
HuffPost
The "Weekend Update" co-host paid tribute to his late grandfather, who voted for the president back in 2020.
“Weekend Update” co-host Colin Jost took time out of his roast at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner to pay tribute to his late grandfather by reflecting on his final vote in a presidential election on Saturday.
The “Saturday Night Live” comedian honored his grandfather William Kelly, a longtime firefighter on Staten Island who painted houses and worked as a substitute teacher.
“My grandfather, a Staten Island firefighter, voted for you, Mr. President,” said Jost, who jokingly suggested that someone would “vote twice” in November using Kelly’s name.
He continued, “He voted for you and the reason that he voted for you is because you’re a decent man. My grandpa voted for decency and decency is why we’re all here tonight. Decency is how we’re able to be here tonight. Decency is how we’re able to make jokes about each other and one of us doesn’t go to prison after — we go to the Newsmax after-party.”
Jost noted that his grandfather, who died last year, was “another rare Irishman” who didn’t drink because he lost his father and brother to alcoholism.
