Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s love story is one for the books.

A year later, he called Johansson his “girlfriend” during a “Weekend Update” segment on SNL. […]

“I will say we have such a — we laugh a lot and we communicate with each other and we check in,” Johansson previously said. said on CBS Mornings in June 2023. “I am married to a writer, he is a comedy writer. He can sometimes get in his head, he is rather introverted. I’m an extrovert, and so I think the key for us is to always check in, to ask at the end of the day, “How was your day?” »

Even though the duo doesn’t always walk the red carpet together, Jost famous names his wife in the episodes of SNL‘s “Weekend Update”, often at the request of the co-host Michael Che. Such mentions cause “panic” for Johansson.

Because it’s absolutely live.

She added at the time: “But when you’re emotionally invested in it and not just entertained, it takes on a little different life.”

In addition to dealing with Jost’s jokes, Johansson recently said she’s been “extremely lucky” in her marriage.

“He’s a really, really, really great guy,” Johansson said on Live with Kelly and Mark last month. “He’s a kind, hilarious, caring, loving person, he’s a great dad and I love him. “But he is also, he has his nasty side. He keeps it interesting.

Jost’s “naughty side”, according to Johansson, refers to his Pete Davidsonpurchase of a ferry.

“He I bought the Staten Island Ferry. A decommissioned Staten Island Ferry. And it is, yes, still out of commission,” she joked, begging viewers to rent the boat for bar mitzvahs, weddings and more.
