Colin Jost, the longtime Weekend Update co-anchor on Saturday Night Live, is set to turn Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center into a campus-wide comedy night on March 18, 2026. The show is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., and Penn State is dangling an especially sweet deal in front of students with early access to low-cost general-admission floor seats. With face-value tickets starting at $20, this one has all the makings of one of the university’s biggest spring comedy draws.
Tickets, presale and pricing
Tickets for the March 18 performance are available through Ticketmaster, which lists a public on-sale beginning at noon on Friday, March 6. University Park students, however, are already able to purchase tickets. According to the event listing, students have exclusive access to general-admission floor tickets through March 10. Availability and prices can change quickly, so fans should confirm the latest details on the official event page before locking in plans.
About Colin Jost
Jost joined Saturday Night Live as a writer in 2005 and has co-anchored "Weekend Update" with Michael Che since 2014, according to StateCollege.com. He wrote the memoir A Very Punchable Face, has appeared in films such as Coming 2 America, and has earned Emmys for his work as a producer and writer on the SNL50 anniversary special. That mix of TV, writing, and stand-up has made him a regular headliner at college arenas and mid-sized venues.
At the Bryce Jordan Center
The Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State’s University Park campus is the area’s primary indoor arena and lists Ticketmaster as its official ticketing partner. The venue’s ticket information page outlines box-office hours, parking tips, and accessibility details. Fans are encouraged to review venue policies, particularly bag and camera rules, and to contact the box office directly for will-call questions or ADA accommodations. The arena’s contact information is provided on the venue page for anyone who needs event-specific guidance.
Final notes
With student tickets starting at $20, this is a notably affordable headline comedy show for a major campus arena. The combination of a student presale and low face value suggests tickets could move quickly. Before heading to University Park, fans should check the Ticketmaster event page for up-to-date availability and any arrival or entry guidance.
