More Than A Schtick? Colin Jost Addresses Sexual Tension With Fellow 'SNL' Star Leslie Jones — Exclusive!

The romance between Leslie Jones and Weekend Update host Colin Jost is an ongoing theme on Saturday Night Live, but is their chemistry more than just a comedy routine?

On May 24th, the 33-year-old comedian attended the Red & Blue Soirée to benefit the widows and children of New York City firefighters and police officers killed in the line of duty.

He spoke exclusively to Star about his close relationship with Leslie, 48.

"She's the best," Colin gushed when asked about the sexual tension between them. "She's one of the people that makes me laugh the hardest, and so being out there with her on update — it's not work."

"I get to hang out and enjoy her," he continued. "And it's the best. It makes my job very easy."

However, ever-the-gentleman, Colin played coy when specifically asked if he and Leslie had hooked up. "I have no comment," he laughed.

Still, despite having no immediate plans to end his run at SNL, he is already planning something memorable for the day when he eventually has to say goodbye to his "work wife," Leslie. "I'm excited to see how it all comes together whenever we have our last episode together," he shared. "We've got to figure out something special."
