Since 2005, Colin Jost, a Harvard alum, has been a writer for NBC's Emmy-winning late-night comedy showcase “Saturday Night Live.” In 2011, the Staten Island native purchased a bachelor pad in West Village, New York City for $1,776,750 which would eventually become his longtime residence. In the years following, the 39-year-old comedic star has become co-anchors on the “Weekend Update” segment with Michael Che. He is set to star in an upcoming wedding comedy, “Worst Man,” alongside fellow “SNL” cast member Pete Davidson. Last year, Jost married “Black Widow” actress Scarlett Johansson after being together since 2017. The celebrity couple recently welcomed a son. Reportedly, “SNL” head writer is ready to unveil a brand-new chapter of his life and bid farewell to his former West Village abode for $2.5 million.

Built in 1929, Jost’s former residence is a 1,400 square foot duplex in a six-unit co-op building dedicated to full time residents. Entering the home through the foyer, the living room highlights exposed brick walls and a wood-burning fireplace. The family room offers French doors leading onto a Juliet balcony overlooking a private patio garden. The charming space showcases vintage-inspired décor, such as a wheeled bar cart and velvet couch. Adjacent to the living and dining area, the windowed kitchen is fully equipped with stainless-steel appliances, yellow painted cabinets, and a tiled backsplash with intricate design.

Upstairs, the master bedroom suite features with an extravagant bathroom with rain shower, a walk-in closet, wall sconce lighting, wood beams, and tile flooring. The secondary bedroom includes a soaking tub opposite the bed, shuttered windows, a walk-in closet, and an enclosed bathroom. Stepping outside, the exterior space offers al fresco entertainment and is perfect for outdoor movie nights with a prewired projector screen. Additionally, the beloved West Village location is captivating and convenient for shopping, dining, and transit options.

Pete told Jimmy Fallon on a recent Tonight Show appearance, "I feel like I won a contest," when asked about being engaged to Ariana. She has already teased a new song, "Pete," about, "this love that I'm in."

The happy couple, who have been pictured lately shopping and holding hands around New York, paid $16 million for a chevron-shaped condo on the High Line.

One of the last finished buildings of the late Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the chic condo is all curves. Ariana and Pete can cook together in their highly-curated, top-of-the-line kitchen, or watch Pete's favorite flick, "Good Time," starring Robert Pattinson, in the private IMAX theatre. It is a cinematic marvel for any apartment to have. It reportedly cost a half-million-dollars to construct.

The pair will have plenty of room for wedding gifts too: there's on-site storage inspired by a Swiss bank vault. Plus, in a city where keeping a car can be a challenge, the integrated parking deck is a luxury in itself.

In a class of high-end condos where promoting wellness is an amenity theme, this building includes a juice bar, fitness center, and 75-foot sky-lit pool. There is also a private reservable spa suite that may interest this amorous pair.

Ariana and Pete's unit has five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The master connects to an en-suite walk-in closet with dressing room. The master bath is done in Nero Marquinia marble with a freestanding six-foot sculptural bathtub.

The white oak hardwoods add warmth to the main living area, while the 9-foot retractable wall-to-wall windows provide those artsy high-line views. This boutique building appears to have everything two young trend-setters need.

Cynics may decry the speed of Ariana and Pete's engagement–the camera-ready PDA, her $93,000 ring, or the tribute ink they've gotten for each other at Chinatown’s No Idols Tattoo Shop–but they've both seen darker days and been hurt before. What's different this time? Laughter was the spark of their attraction–according to the word on the street.

Is it crazy to move into a space-age luxury condo with someone you've only dated for two months? Maybe. But as the Spanish poet, Pedro Calderon de la Barca, once said, "When love is not madness, it is not love."

Movie star couple Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde traded up before listing their two-bedroom, 2.5 bath Chelsea apartment for nearly $4 million recently, just eight months after the birth of their son, Otis.

Actors Jason Sudeikis and fiancée Olivia Wilde put are aiming for a $777,000 profit on the home they bought in 2012.

The 1,670-square-foot corner unit boasts ample light, 13-foot ceilings and great views of the Meatpacking District.

The kitchen showcases high-end stainless steel appliances.

The actors bought the modest (by celebrity standards) Meatpacking District apartment at 66 Ninth Avenue in 2012 for $3.23 million. Listing agent Ann Cutbill Lenan of Douglas Elliman real estate told media outlets that the couple “moved on to a bigger place.” (we’re guessing literally and figuratively).

Sudeikis earned his comedic wings via brash and cocky characters as a featured “not ready for primetime player” on Saturday Night Live before graduating to become a bonafide A-list comedy movie star in successful movies such as Horrible Bosses and We’re the Millers. New York City-born Wilde achieved international stardom television shows such as The O.C. and House M.D., and then in films such as Cowboys & Aliens.

When you consider the actors’ skyrocketing careers and a son who’s about to test out his walking shoes, it’s understandable why the family flew the Chelsea coop—despite what’s generally considered a spacious pad by Manhattan standards. But once you've gone Hollywood, standards change. Sudeikis and Wilde, who can play the game in Hollywood or New York appear to have left the Meatpacking District's High Line for the high life. Who could blame them?

Sudeikis and Wilde outgrew the two-bedroom apartment following the birth of their son.

One of the 2.5 baths.

The star couple's apartment is modest by celebrity standards.

Space aside, the listed 1,670-square-foot corner unit in Chelsea could offers few A-list frills outside of expansive views, 13-foot ceilings, walk-in closets, custom Italian cabinetry and high-end appliances. The apartment (across from Chelsea Market) could very well pass for a business executive’s bachelor pad with access to a public roof deck, a fitness center and bike storage.

Wilde gained fame on the TV show House M.D. while Sudeikis honed his chops as a featured player on SNL.

The New York couple are engaged and have an eight-month old son.

The apartment is located in the Porter House, a conversion building (actually an expansion of an industrial building to condos) designed by SHoP architects and built in 2003--named for the "porterhouse" cut of steak in a nod to the Meatpacking District. According to Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the base of the building is a yellow-brick Renaissance Revival warehouse structure originally erected in 1905. Meanwhile, the condo conversion rests on top of the warehouse--disguised as a dark zinc-façade box with vertical lighting elements as large as some of its windows. The agency calls these oversized windows "visible beacons" that resemble "lines of barcode."

The Porter House building offers a prime location near Hudson River Park's walking and bike paths, dog runs and green spaces as well as High Line Park, Chelsea Piers recreation center, restaurants, clubs and art galleries.

Listing agent Lenan correctly calls the neighborhood “hip” and the Sudeikis-Wilde apartment itself “sunny.” Since SNL alum Sudeikis is a rising comedy star, the apartment may also have traces of funny left behind. So whoever buys it, the joke may be on them. In this case, that would be a good thing.
