STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The launch of “Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost’s memoir has been delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

“A Very Punchable Face,” the Grymes Hill comedian’s first book, was initially due out April 14, but the release date has been pushed back three months to July 14, according to a spokesperson for publisher Penguin Random House.

“It’s called ‘A Very Punchable Face’ based on the fact that several of my close friends have told me, ‘You have a very punchable face,’” Jost joked about his memoir. “I’m really excited about the book and I hope you’ll read it. I promise it’s a quick read and largely non-inspiring.”

This is the second coronavirus-related delay that the “SNL" head writer has had to endure. The NBC late-night show -- like many other live TV shows -- was put on a necessary hiatus for weeks due to the outbreak.

JOST’S BACKSTORY

Before earning his spot alongside comedian Michael Che on “Weekend Update,” Jost worked behind-the-scenes as head writer of “SNL.” He also wrote and appeared in the movie, “Staten Island Summer," and he and Che appeared on WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” in March 2019, where it was announced that they would be special correspondents for WrestleMania 35.

Jost also has a history of giving back to Staten Island organizations like St. George Theatre and the Staten Island Museum.

And if that’s not enough, he’s also engaged to A-list actress Scarlett Johansson. (He reportedly gave her an 11-carat engagement ring.)
