Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Jost has firsthand experience of the Donald Trump administration being stranger than fiction. The 43-year-old appeared on the May 14 edition of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and revealed that one of the jokes he pitched to skewer Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was rejected, only to have Hegseth immediately do what Jost thought would be too ridiculous. Colin Jost says he pitched Pete Hegseth mistakenly quoting Pulp Fiction as Bible verse in the SNL writers room-then Hegseth actually did it. pic.twitter.
