But things really took a turn when "Original Nosferatu" set their sights on Weekend Update host Colin Jost. In true Sarah Sherman fashion, the rest of the segment devolved into a roast session. Jost endured cutting insults about his anatomy, alleged assistant-creeping tendencies, and a supposed coke habit.
