'SNL' newcomer Beth Sherman lives the dream: She torched Colin Jost on Weekend Update

Colin Jost, the co-host of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, has a memoir titled A Very Punchable Face. He knows people are itching to roast him.

Such an opportunity was handed to none other than Beth Sherman, a featured player who joined the comedy crew with the start of Season 47. She's been used sparingly in the season's six episodes so far, but she came out swinging with a Weekend Update segment devoted entirely to tearing down Jost for innocuous comments.

Yes, there's also a layer here of poking fun at Fox News-style outrage antics where broadcasters blow some tiny, inoffensive thing completely out of proportion purely for the sake of driving outrage among viewers. But mostly this is just a funny, garishly dressed person bubbling with big energy as she unleashes the force of her comedic powers on Jost.
