Time Warner Cable still hasn’t made good with “Saturday Night Live” head writer Colin Jost, who also hosts the show’s “Weekend Update.”
Last month Jost went off on a tirade against TWC, tweeting that he’s spoken to 25 customer-service reps over four months, trying to get his cable working right.
“The main reason I believe in the concept of hell is because I know the people who work at Time Warner Cable will go there when they die,” he tweeted, and offered to personally send $50 to anyone who switched to another provider.
Amazingly, his problem remains unsolved. “I haven’t figured it out yet,” Jost told The News’ Justin Rocket Silverman. “I’m still working on it.”
Jost said that he is now just trying to cancel his TWC service, but even that is proving problematic. “I’m not typically an angry person. I tried a reasonable approach first,” he said.
Jost’s new movie, “Staten Island Summer,” about his childhood in Staten Island, opened over the -weekend and features fellow “SNL”-ers Will Forte and Fred -Armisen. No doubt he’s hoping to have service from Time Warner rival FIOS by the time the film hits cable TV.

KIM LIVING LARGE
No bump-hiding loose tops or empire waists here: Kim Kardashian is pregnant and proud. The reality superstar, who announced at the end of June that she’s expecting a son with husband Kanye West, showed off her new figure in a tight dress during a trip to the Fred Segal store in West Hollywood on Thursday. Last week Kardashian said they won’t be naming him South West to complement their daughter, North.
RACY STUFF FOR SEINFELD
So Jerry Seinfeld‘s terrible style wasn’t just shtick for his sitcom. The comic, who’s been perennially poorly dressed for more than two decades, was caught in an unflattering moment while chatting with pals in Malibu. Bonus celebrity trivia: Seinfeld’s T-shirt is from McQueen Racing, a high-performance car company run by Steve McQueen’s son, Chad.
THEATER BECOMES HOUSE OF WINDSOR
Even when Edie Windsor tries minding her own business she winds up in the spotlight. Windsor, who was at the center of the Supreme Court case that helped overturn the Defense Against Marriage Act, was enjoying the Off-Broadway show “The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey” when she got a shout-out from the show’s star. “At the end of the show, James (Lecesne) received a standing ovation, but immediately quieted the audience to announce that there was a bigger star in the front row,” we’re told.
MCCORD RECALLS HER ROUGH ROLE
Turns out Annalynne McCord has kind of an intense side to her. The “90210” star, who is in Tulum, Mexico, celebrating her 28th birthday, tweeted on her big day, “Did my #GratitudeMeditation to celebrate #28years of life. W/o gratitude many of those years were marred w/ suffering #mentalbrothel. I’m finished w/ that!”
In a slightly more, well, normal moment McCord toasted the milestone with mimosas on the beach with pals.

RUBIN-VEGA CUT THEATER JERK’S SCENE
Fast-fingered phone-filcher Patti LuPone has made theater etiquette a hot topic. But studly “L.A. Law” star Blair Underwood recalls how Daphne Rubin-Vega stopped a front-row videotaper during their 2012 Broadway run of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” “Daphne stopped, stayed in character, squatted down and thrust her hand out,” Underwood explains to Daily News theater critic Joe Dziemianowicz on his “The Joe D Show” podcast. The rude offender resisted, but finally gave up the phone. “Daphne put it in her apron and kept on moving,” says Underwood. “The audience applauded.”
