Colin Jost & Scarlett Johansson: Love, Laughter, and a Dash of 'Weekend Update'
Alright, let's dive right in. Colin Jost, the ever-charming co-anchor of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, tied the knot with none other than the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson. Yes, you read that right. The funny guy and the action hero are now a real-life power couple, and we're all here for it.
From 'Weekend Update' to 'I Do'
For those of us who've been tuning in to SNL since Jost took over the Weekend Update desk in 2014, we've watched him grow from a sharp-witted sidekick to a full-blown comedic powerhouse. His deadpan delivery and clever punchlines have become a staple of our Saturday nights. But behind the scenes, something else was brewing - a romance with his co-star, Johansson.
In typical Jost fashion, he kept the relationship under wraps for quite some time. But in 2017, the cat was out of the bag when they made their red carpet debut at the American Museum of Natural History's Gala for the opening of the Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit. Now, that's a power couple entrance if we've ever seen one.

Wedding Bells and Laughs
After a whirlwind romance filled with late-night laughs and action-packed movie premieres, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in Montana in October 2020. The guest list was a who's who of Hollywood, with SNL cast members and Johansson's Marvel co-stars all in attendance. We're told the reception was filled with laughter, love, and more than a few Weekend Update-inspired jokes.
But here's where things get interesting. In true Jost fashion, he couldn't help but poke a little fun at the situation. In a Weekend Update segment following the wedding, he joked, "I was like, 'Hey, maybe she's just not that into me,' and then she turned out to be literally the only person in the world who was." Classic Colin.
