‘SNL’s Michael Che and Colin Jost Jacked to Host First-Ever St. Patrick’s Eve Countdown: ‘Why Not?’


'SNL's Michael Che and Colin Jost teamed up with Jameson Irish Whiskey to host the first-ever 'St. Patrick's Eve' party in Times Square on March 16.

“We teamed up with Colin Jost and Michael Che to help us seize this moment and encourage everyone to embrace St. Patrick’s Eve, because they’re a duo who appreciates a smooth Irish Whiskey, good company, and a brand-new holiday – just like any Jameson would.” “I’ve been saving it, now is the time I feel,” he says, with Jost, as usual, perfectly yes-anding his co-anchor’s bit by comparing the scene he expects to the one in TheThomas Crown Affair “where they’re all walking around in bowler hats at the end? The real holiday evokes fond memories for Jost, who often marched with firefighters in two St. Patrick’s Day parades as a kid, in Manhattan and Staten Island, alongside his mother and grandfather, both of whom worked for the fire department.
