Scarlett Johansson is having a little bit of fun at Colin Jost’s expense!
In the latest promo for the season 50 finale of Saturday Night Live, the Jurassic World Rebirth star, 40, pokes fun at her marriage with the “Weekend Update” anchor, 42, as she prepares to host for her seventh time on May 17.
In the aptly titled sketch, “Scarlett Johansson Is Saved from Colin Jost by Sarah Sherman,” which also parodies the Jurassic Park franchise, cast members Mikey Day and Heidi Gardner look ahead to their summer break before they hear a loud thumping sound and the lights cut out.
Soon after, Johansson comes bolting through the hallway screaming for them to “run!”

After pushing Day, 45, out of her way, the Thunderbolts executive producer barricades herself in Studio 8H. As she backs away from whatever is pounding at the doors, Jost pops up behind her to suggest an idea for Saturday’s episode.
“Hey, babe,” he says as his wife gasps in surprise. “I had a sketch idea I wanted to pitch you. Maybe it’s one where we, I don’t know, finally kiss?”
In response, Johansson screams, “No!”
Then, Sherman, 32, appears in the rafters above and shoots her husband in the neck with a dart.
“Thanks, Sarah,” she tells the SNL breakout star as Jost falls to the ground. Sherman — who is dressed like the game warden from Jurassic Park — then responds, “Anytime, Scarlett.”
When asked if she shot her fellow cast member with a tranquilizer, Sherman deadpans, “Oh, I have no idea. [Michael] Che just handed this to me and said, ‘Take care of Jost.’ “
The SNL promo released on May 14 comes ahead of Johansson’s latest turn as host, while Bad Bunny will make his third appearance as the show’s musical guest. Her seventh time breaks a record she previously shared with Drew Barrymore and Tina Fey as the only women to host six times total.

She made her hosting debut in 2006, while hosting an episode from season 31 before returning several times over the years, in 2007, 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019.
The actress most recently appeared on the show during a December 2024 episode when Jost and Che swapped jokes on “Weekend Update.” During the segment, Jost was prompted to make NSFW quips about his wife while a visibly shocked Johansson watched live backstage.
Johansson and Jost, meanwhile, started dating in 2017. The couple got engaged in May 2019 and then married in October 2020 before having their son, Cosmo, in August 2021. The actress is also mom to daughter Rose, whom she shares with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
