Scarlett Johansson Shines at SNL 50th Anniversary Special
Scarlett Johansson made a memorable appearance at the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special on February 16, 2025, alongside her husband, Colin Jost. The couple, who have been married since 2020, shared a romantic moment on the red carpet, with Johansson stunning in a black midi-dress adorned with jeweled detailing, while Jost kept it classic in a tuxedo. The event held special significance for the pair, as they first met during Johansson’s hosting debut on SNL in 2006 and later reconnected when she hosted again in 2017.
Johansson also participated in a comedic sketch during the special, joining Kristen Wiig, Kim Kardashian, and Ana Gasteyer as the Maharelle sisters in a revival of Wiig’s iconic character, Dooneese. The sketch, set on The Lawrence Welk Show, featured Will Ferrell as singer Robert Goulet, with Johansson and her co-stars vying for his affection. Wiig’s absurd antics, including tapping on Gasteyer’s chest and pretending to play drums on Kardashian’s backside, added to the hilarity of the segment.
The SNL50 special also brought together several notable exes, including Johansson and her former husband, Ryan Reynolds, who attended with his wife, Blake Lively. Johansson and Reynolds, who were married from 2008 to 2011, have both moved on to new chapters in their lives, with Johansson and Jost welcoming a son in 2021 and Reynolds and Lively raising four children.
The star-studded event celebrated five decades of SNL, featuring appearances from cast members and special guests across all 50 seasons. The three-hour special aired live on NBC and Peacock, marking a historic night for the iconic sketch comedy series.
