Scarlett Johansson Reveals Why She Keeps Returning to SNL

BBG News

In the beginning scenes of “Jurassic World: Rebirth”, leading actress Scarlett Johansson winds back the dial on a hypothetical 2025 TV guide. Notably, this high-profile figure expresses her deep affection for hosting Saturday Night Live episodes, which are available to stream with a Peacock subscription. Johansson also shares what keeps drawing her back, and surprisingly, it’s not connected to her husband, Colin Jost.

In preparation for the highly-anticipated movie lineup of 2025, Scarlett Johansson, along with her on-screen smooching partner Jonathan Bailey, recently took part in Wired’s Autocomplete interview. During this chat, she was asked to discuss one of her past roles – hosting Saturday Night Live. She mentioned that as a Marvel Cinematic Universe star, she has graced the Studio 8H stage multiple times (currently seven times), placing her among the esteemed Five Timers Club members. Afterward, she shared her thoughts on her most recent hosting stint, expressing her enjoyment of the experience and saying it went smoothly.

Overall, it seemed to go smoothly, but towards the finish, things started to unravel – which is actually a positive indication. It was quite demanding, and by the end of it, you could hardly think straight. And then the following day, you felt as if a truck had run over you. In essence, it was simply marvelous.

On her comeback to 30 Rock, Her usually brings a solid episode, despite the organized madness that unfolds both on-screen and off. It’s intriguing to learn she enjoyed herself, regardless of the final result. Her recent performance was particularly noteworthy following the contentious joke swap incident in 2024 involving Michael Che and Colin Jost at Weekend Update. Johansson skillfully responded to their annual joke exchange.

The A-list celebrity served as the final host for Saturday Night Live’s impressive roster of stars during their 50th season finale, joined by Bad Bunny as the musical guest. As expected, they delivered a high-quality show, with the monologue featuring a cast performance of a Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” parody discussing potential departures and celebrating their five decades in existence.

During the SNL joke swap, Colin Jost made Michael Che apologize to Scarlett Johansson, but it was Colin who had the final say.

As a movie enthusiast, I found myself chuckling at the sequel to Sydney Sweeney’s viral hit, titled “Bowen’s Still Straight.” This hilarious follow-up, similar to the popular “First Class” video where she takes a trio on a flight from LaGuardia in NYC to Newark, mirrors not just a series of events but also her personal emotions. It’s simple, straightforward, and undeniably entertaining!

As a film enthusiast, I eagerly look forward to the day when Scarlett Johansson graces our screens once more on NBC’s Saturday night schedule, especially since SNL is currently taking a break from new episodes during summer. However, it brings me comfort to know that she will likely return to our small screens again in the future.
