Scarlett Johansson raves about fiancé in SNL monologue

Scarlett Johansson raves about fiancé in SNL monologue
Scarlett Johansson has gushed about fiancé Colin Jost while hosting Saturday Night Live.

During her opening monologue on the hit sketch comedy show, the Marriage Story actress poked fun at the fact Jost is a writer for the show, and that she is currently the world’s highest-paid actress.

“It’s so great to be back hosting SNL for the sixth time,” Johansson said.

“The sixth time is even more exciting than the fifth because you’re not worried anymore. The show is bad, what are they gonna do, fire my fiancé? Oh no, what will we do without his paycheck?”

After Jost joined her onstage alongside other cast members, Johansson embraced her soon-to-be husband and kissed him.

“It’s great to have you all back,” she said. “I just want to say that this place means so much to me. I have so many friends here and I met the love of my life here. Merry Christmas.”

Johansson, 35, and Jost, 37, met on the set of SNL more than a decade ago when the actress first hosted the show in 2006. Jost had just joined SNL as a writer.

They got to know each other by working on skits, but didn’t become romantically linked until after Johansson separated from then-husband Romain Duriac in 2016.

Johansson and Jost became engaged in May this year after two years of dating. It will be the third marriage for Johansson, who has also been wed to actor Ryan Reynolds as well as journalist Duriac.

It’s the first marriage for Jost.
