Colin Jost Hilariously Reacts To Wife Scarlett Johansson Becoming World's Highest-Grossing Actor
So how did her husband, Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost, react to the news?
Entertainment Tonight asked Jost—who has five films on his IMDb profile—for his thoughts on his wife's success.
You can watch the moment here:
ET host Kevin Frazier asked Jost:
"How cool is it that Scarlett is now the number one actress in the world, as far as box office?"
Jost—tongue firmly in cheek—responded:
"When you think about it, combined, me and her are probably one of the top couples at the box office ever. You know what I mean?"
"And she’s probably doing a little bit more of that lifting, but combined? You know what I mean? That could be a huge record, too."
Frazier replied:
"Your box office right now. Let's––don't make me pull up Box Office Mojo. I will pull it up."
Box Office Mojo is a website owned by the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) that tracks and analyzes box office revenue for movies.
SNL "Weekend Update" co-anchor Jost responded:
"I've been in several number one movies."
He hasn’t.
"I basically only do number one movies."
He doesn't.
He then listed three of his five definitely not-number-one-at-the-box-office films.
"'Tom & Jerry.' Perhaps you saw 'Coming 2 America.' 'How to Be Single.' I think those may have all been number one movies. Yet––"
Jost then cracked, and stepped away from the camera as he started laughing at the absurdity of comparing his film career to his wife's, with 63 fewer films to his name. The two films he didn’t mention were Staten Island Summer and Fly Me to the Moon. Jost was a writer on the former and the latter starred Johansson.
When he had composed himself, Jost told Frazier:
"I don’t think the internet has information like that."
Frazier replied:
"Oh, the internet does. Don't worry. You'll see it across the screen on 'Entertainment Tonight'."
True to his word, "Colin's Box Office: $249 Million" and "Scarlett's Box Office: $14.8 Billion" appeared on the screen.
Jost laughed and said:
"Updated box office."
Other sources cite $14.9 billion, but the box office for Johansson's latest film, Jurassic World: Rebirth, is changing that number almost daily.
Ironically, a star of the first Jurassic Park film is who Johansson knocked out of the top actor spot. Her Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) costar Samuel L. Jackson now occupies second place at $14.6 billion. Another MCU costar, Robert Downey Jr., holds the number 3 spot with $14.3 billion at the box office.
Not everyone got Jost's deadpan delivery, thinking he was serious.

Jost was a writer on Saturday Night Live when he first met Johansson when the actor hosted the show for the first time on January 14, 2006. She now holds the record for most times hosting by a woman, at seven.
The pair didn't become an item until 2017 when Johansson hosted the show for the fifth time
By that time, Jost had come out from behind the camera to co-anchor "Weekend Update" with Michael Che—a role the two have had since 2014.
Jost and Johansson married in 2020 and welcomed their son Cosmo in 2021.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks
He wrote:
"I have always suspected Shifty Adam Shiff [sic] was a scam artist. And now I learn that Fannie Mae's Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud."
"Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice."
You can see Trump's post below.
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
Designating a home as a primary residence, rather than a secondary home or investment property, can result in lower interest rates, as lenders view primary residences as less risky.
However, a spokesperson for Schiff’s office said the lenders for his homes in both California and Washington were “well aware” of his intended year-round use of both properties while serving in public office, adding that neither residence was considered a vacation home.
Public records tied to Schiff’s mortgage and property in Montgomery County, Maryland, show that in October 2020, he signed a document identifying the home as a second residence. In earlier filings, the same property had been listed as a primary residence.
However, experts cautioned that the documents alone don’t provide the full picture, pointing to the absence of information about any specific agreements Schiff may have had with his lender. They also noted that differing definitions of “primary residence” — between the county and mortgage providers — can create ambiguity and make it difficult to determine whether any rules were actually broken.
It's also worth noting that Schiff led impeachment proceedings against Trump while still a member of the House and Trump has often targeted Schiff for retribution.
And in recent days, Trump has been accused of refusing to release the infamous "Epstein files," which are said to contain detailed lists of some of Epstein's most high-profile enablers.
Trump, who is widely believed to be in the Epstein files, deflected calls by his MAGA base to release them, admonishing critics of his Attorney General Pam Bondi, who in her capacity leading the Department of Justice (DOJ) concluded no such list exists, despite claiming the exact opposite just months ago.
Schiff said that Trump's attack against him was just another distraction designed to take people's attention away from Epstein's case—not to mention Trump's own involvement:
"Since I led his first impeachment, Trump has repeatedly called for me to be arrested for treason. So in a way, I guess this is a bit of a letdown. And this baseless attempt at political retribution won’t stop me from holding him accountable. Not by a long shot."
"This is just Donald Trump’s latest attempt at political retaliation against his perceived enemies. So it is not a surprise, only how weak this false allegation turns out to be. And much as Trump may hope, this smear will not distract from his Epstein files problem."
You can see his post below.
Many agreed.
Trump was similarly accused of attempting to distract from the Epstein files when he threatened to strip actor and comedian Rosie O'Donnell of her U.S. citizenship, labeling her a "Threat to Humanity" in a similarly angry post on Truth Social.
The relationship between O'Donnell and Trump, who have feuded for years, was so antagonistic that O'Donnell, fearing the worst once Trump won the election, moved to Ireland shortly before Trump’s inauguration. She has cited the risks Project 2025 and Trump's potential retribution pose to her and her nonbinary child.
O'Donnell later responded to Trump's attack by sharing one of the many photos that exist of Trump and Epstein, calling him "everything that is wrong with America," noting that he hates her for being "a loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth, an american who got out of the country [before you] set it ablaze."
Trump has since directed Bondi to release whatever she finds "credible" in the Epstein files amid the backlash from his supporters.
