Johansson stands by Scherzinger as Jost scoffs at SNL

On December 22, 2024By Littum

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost have turned heads not only for their successful careers, but for their playful banter and public appearances as one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples. Capturing the interest of fans far and wide, this dynamic duo has solidified their status since linking up back in 2020.

The last weekend Saturday Night Live Weekend Update segment, Jost brought even more attention to their relationship with humor. During the show, he touched on the topic of baldness and announced the legal ruling by the British courts, claiming that calling someone bald was considered harassment. Introducing cast member Andrew Dismukes, who humorously played the “bald man” receiving these performances, Jost ended with a bit of a playful laugh: “Okay!” elicited laughter from the audience and showcases his quick wit.

For those who may not know, Johansson’s story with Marvel Cinematic Universe as Black Widow has certainly played a role in making her one of the highest-grossing actresses, raising questions about how much “Marvel money” she’s accumulated over time. Despite their playful nature about financial matters, reports suggest that Scarlett’s net worth is around $160 million, compared to Jost’s $10 million.

Interestingly, the couple doesn’t usually talk openly about finances. The most notable publicity came when Jost, along with comedian Pete Davidson, made headlines for buying a decommissioned ferry for $280,000. Jost later admitted that it was potentially “the stupidest and least thought out purchase” he had ever made, noting how Johansson initially reacted to the purchase as if it were an eyesore, but she later found value as events began to find place on the ferry.

While their finances might become the talk of the town after their joke SNLthe real highlight of the week was Johansson’s support of her friend Nicole Scherzinger, who recently made her Broadway appearance. Scarlett was seen backstage laughing with Jonathan Bailey, her co-star from Upcoming Jurassic World 4. Both Johansson and Bailey supported Scherzinger after her dramatic show on Friday night, where she received rave reviews for her role as Norma Desmond.

It was quite the scene as Johansson, wearing her casual red sweater paired with plaid pants and gold Aviator shades, and Bailey, dressed impressively in her neon yellow jacket, beamed next to Scherzinger, who, let’s just say, was literally drenched of the show’s thrilling finale – covered head to toe in fake blood. The three took candid photos backstage, with Scherzinger posting on her Instagram, thanking them for their support and remarking on her amazing performance.

Fans were quick to shower Scherzinger’s post with compliments and express their love for the trio, with many acknowledging Scarlett and Nicole’s inspiring talents and charm. Always vocal about her desire to shine on Broadway, Nicole has taken the stage by storm. Known for her previous successful career as part of the Pussycat Dolls, the transition to musical theater has brought Scherzinger back to her roots and fulfills her lifelong dream of performing live on stage.

Adding to her impressive support system, Scherzinger was visited the very next day by the likes of Katy Perry and Meghan Trainor, who also captured fun moments to share with her social media followers. The enthusiasm shown by these famous singers highlights the camaraderie and encouragement in their entertainment circles, something worth cheering about.

Despite meeting mixed reactions from audiences at times – in one incident, Scherzinger was booed following the news of her political endorsement – she continues to shine brightly on stage. During performances, she shared insights about feeling ‘discarded’ by the entertainment industry, underscoring her strong comeback story. The support of friends like Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey at important times really speaks volumes about the strength of friendship and support among women in the industry.

Whether it’s the laughs shared between Johansson and Jost, or the heartfelt messages exchanged between friends like Scherzinger, this weekend truly showcased the positive spirit and supportive nature of Hollywood’s elite.
