Hollywood couple Scarlett Johansson & Jost shares romantic moment as Johansson hosts milestone SNL episode
Table of Contents
A passionate smooch between Hollywood power couple Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost wrapped up Saturday Night Live’s milestone 50th season.
The kiss wasn’t just a quick peck – it was a full-on romantic moment that had the studio audience cheering wildly.
Cast members playfully grimaced in the background, adding that classic SNL humor to the sweet display.
Roses and Romance
Jost surprised his wife with a gorgeous bouquet of red roses as the May 17th show came to a close.
The thoughtful gesture came after Johansson, 40, finished hosting duties alongside musical guest Bad Bunny.
Their public display of affection wasn’t totally unexpected though – days earlier, Jost had pitched a sketch idea about them kissing in a Jurassic Park-themed promo, which Johansson hilariously rejected.
Behind the Scenes Chemistry
The couple’s real-life romance began in 2017, blossoming into an engagement two years later.
They tied the knot in October 2020 and now share an adorable 3-year-old son named Cosmo.
Johansson also has a daughter, Rose Dorothy, from her previous marriage to Romain Dauriac, making them a loving blended family away from the spotlight.
Payback Time!
Johansson got some sweet revenge during the episode’s Weekend Update segment.
Last winter, Michael Che had forced Jost to read an embarrassing joke comparing his wife’s private parts to a Costco sandwich.
This time around, Johansson watched with satisfaction as Che had to admit he was “just lashing out because I’m jealous” and make an awkward confession about spending time on a farm.
Studio 8H Magic
The couple’s chemistry lit up SNL’s legendary Studio 8H, where they’ve created several memorable moments over the years.
Their genuine affection for each other shines through whenever they share the stage.
With SNL set to return later this year, fans are already wondering what other sweet moments might be in store for this comedy power couple.
