Scarlett Johansson screams in terror after husband Colin Jost asks for a kiss
Scarlett Johansson was running for her life from a very surprising foe in a new Saturday Night Live sketch. In a clip promoting Scarlett's upcoming SNL hosting gig, the actress, 40, screams at the top of her lungs at the thought of kissing her husband Colin Jost, 42. The hilarious sketch, which was clearly inspired by Scarlett's upcoming Jurassic Park film, is titled 'Scarlett Johansson Is Saved From Colin Jost By Sarah Sherman' and begins with SNL stars Heidi Gardner and Mikey Day talking about their summer plans. A thundering pound interrupts their conversation and sets off an alarm and ominous flickering red lights. Scarlett then dashes into frame and screams 'Run! Run!', ignoring Day as he welcomes her back onto the show and pushing him out of the way of a door. She runs inside the double door and bolts it shut with a pole, before cowering in terror as the mystery adversary bangs at the door. 'No please!' she pleads. Suddenly, the moment is interrupted by the arrival of her husband, who cheerfully greets her and places a hand on her shoulder. 'Hey babe! I had a sketch idea I wanted to pitch you. Maybe it's one where we, I don't know, finally kiss?' he suggests nervously. Scarlett then screams at the top of her lungs, 'No!' Out of nowhere, her husband is shot in the neck with a dart by Sarah Sherman, who is hiding in the rafters. 'Thanks Sarah!' Scarlett says, clearly relieved. 'Anytime Scarlett!' Sarah, clad in a hunting costume, says. 'That was just a tranquilizer, right?' Scarlett inquires. 'Oh, I have no idea. Che just handed this to me and said "take care of Jost?"' Sarah replies, referencing Colin's Weekend Update co-host Michael Che. After locking herself in the main studio, she comes face to face with her husband, who suggests to her horror they do a sketch in which they kiss Alarmed, Scarlett goes to her husband's side - but is repulsed when he suggests a kiss in a gargled voice. 'Nope!' Scarlett says. Scarlett, who has been married to Colin since 2020 and shares three-year-old son Cosmo with him, will be starring in the upcoming action film Jurassic World Rebirth, set for release on July 7. The actress, who also has 10-year-old daughter Rose Dorothy with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, will be hosting Saturday Night Live for a seventh time on May 17, which also happens to mark the show's season finale.

The Internet Is Praising Mikey Day After He Went Bonkers Over A Spider On "Saturday Night Live"
Walton Goggins hosted Saturday Night Live on May 10, and he was both hilarious and extra spicy, so we won. But, little did everybody know that Walton's hilarious (and thirsty) segment would just be an appetizer for the hit of the night — Mikey Day on "Weekend Update." Mikey appeared in a segment alongside Colin Jost and Michael Che as a guy who just walked into a spiderweb, discussing how President Donald Trump's tariffs will affect consumers. Based on the internet's reaction, it's a viral hit! When Colin introduced Mikey's character, it was obvious this segment would go off the rails. Mikey really tapped into his physical comedy. Then he ripped off his shirt, and received a bunch of thirsty "woos" mixed with laughter. Not even Colin and Michael could handle being in the same scene with his hysterical character. After spending the entire segment freaking out over the spider, Mikey finally comes back but it's too late — the damage is done. The damage is that everyone's sides are hurting from laughing too hard, or their mouths are dry from thirst over Mikey's shirtless moment. The SNL segment went viral, and people had a lot to say about it. NBC / Will Heath/NBC via Getty Images, Warner Bros "His commitment to the bit was absolutely incredible. Taking two full tumbles, getting half naked, screaming the entire time, not breaking character. Give the man an Emmy! lol" one person wrote. This person said, "mikey day is literally one of snl's greatest cast members and i need to make sure everyone else thinks this." People gave Mikey flowers for his commitment to the bit. "one thing about Mikey Day, he's alwayssss gonna commit to the bit," another person said. "This is some PHENOMENAL phyiscal comedy. I've said it for years... Mikey Day is one of the sharpest and most underrated performers in SNL history," another person wrote. "Watch this & marvel at his talent." Another user wrote, "Simply amazing! Simple premise executed to perfection by Mikey. Some of the best pratfalls I've ever seen. A Hall of Fame Weekend Update feature." "Absolutely the best weekend update guest ever. Perfect physical comedy," this user added. Someone else said, "This was the funniest skit I've ever seen. I started choking from laughing so hard. He nailed it." And, of course, people loved the part when he ripped his shirt off. Hulu / Twitter: @spidysnse One person asked, "Wait, do I have a crush on Mikey Day?" Finally, someone said, "SNL is really gonna miss Mikey Day when he's gone, between stuff like this and his strong straightman work, he's one of the more unheralded but critical SNL cast members of the last decade." Watch the SNL "Weekend Update" segment here, and be prepared to laugh your ass off.

‘SNL': Walton Goggins Brings Guns To The Constitution In Founding Fathers Sketch
Tonight on SNL, Walton Goggins appeared in a sketch set at the Constitutional Convention, centered on debate over the second amendment. The sketch opens after the first amendment is settled on, with delegate James Austin Johnson wondering what the group might frame as 'the second most important principle of our nation.'

'Excuse me?' Johnson asks, with Goggins simply repeating himself. 'I don't hate that,' says a delegate played by Mikey Day. 'Well, I do. It's ridiculous,' says Johnson. 'Sir, what is your name?' (It's Matt.) 'Matt what?' asks Johnson. 'Matt Don't You Worry About It,' says Goggins. 'Well, Matt, what will posterity say of us if the second right we enshrine in this document is simply guns?' Johnson wonders. 'That we don't play,' he says. 'Damn, that's actually kind of sick,' says Andrew Dismukes, one of a group of delegates who quickly come to take Matt's side. Johnson says 'this is ludicrous,' with Day arguing, 'We did just make a law that said anyone can say whatever crazy stuff they want, right? Maybe this gun thing would kind of balance that out.' 'Bingo,' says Goggins. 'Okay, yes. But by the same token, wouldn't having a gun embolden people to say crazy stuff as well?' Johnson asks. 'Bro, what?' asks Goggins. 'Gentlemen, we cannot just have an amendment that says 'guns.' What about guns?' asks Johnson. 'Having them,' Goggins asserts. Johnson says he's open to discussing guns 'for a later amendment,' but insists on moving on to more pressing concerns for the moment. He asks Matt which state he's from, with Goggins' character replying, 'a united one.' 'Have guns? Really, gentlemen? That's what we want the second amendment to be? 'Have guns.' That sounds idiotic,' says Johnson. 'Just chill. Not have guns. Bear arms,' Goggins replies. 'Ah, yeah. Okay. I'm freaking sold. I'm writing it down,' says Johnson. With that, Matt's work is done, and he turns to leave the room. 'Wait, Matt, will we ever see you again?' asks Johnson, with Goggins replying, 'Depends on where you look.' 'Nobody ever did see him' though, a narrator tells us, 'as he was shot minutes after leaving the room.' Goggins hosted tonight, with Arcade Fire as musical guest. Watch the full sketch above.

Dwayne Johnson had chicken guy follow him on 'SNL': Mikey Day
Where Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson goes, the 'chicken guy' follows. 'Saturday Night Live' star Mikey Day exclusively told The Post that the wrestler-turned-movie star, 52, had plenty of protein on hand when he hosted the sketch comedy series. 'This is more amusing than surprising. I figured Dwayne Johnson would have an intense diet and stuff to maintain his ridiculously shredded physique,' Day, 45, said while promoting his new campaign with Dollar Car Rental.

'Which, distilled down to a basic description, is a dude who follows Dwayne around with this industrial case of chicken and occasionally approaches Dwayne and says. 'Hey Dwayne, sorry to interrupt but it's time to eat chicken.'' Advertisement Johnson, a member of the Five-Timers Club on 'SNL,' hosted the show in 2000, 2002, 2009, 2015 and 2017. The 'Black Adam' star has spoken before about his high-protein diet. He told Men's Health in 2022 that he eats the same six meals a day, starting with his breakfast that includes 'eggs, a meat like bison, a complex carb like oatmeal, and fruit, usually either papaya or blueberries.' 11 Dwayne Johnson with Beck Bennett on the set of 'SNL' in May 2017.

'I know the shoot would be fun as he just makes me laugh,' Day said of Thompson, 45. 'Even if he's just standing there saying nothing, I'm laughing.' The car rental agency accepted one of his pitches when they shot the commercial at TWA Hotel at JFK Airport in New York. 11 Mikey Day starring in a Dollar Car Rental commercial.

'British comedy/comedians have been so influential to comedy as a whole, so I think it's great. I'm curious what the show will be like,' he said. 'Sometimes British humor's a little more subtle so maybe it will be a little less loud than its American counterpart?' 11 Mikey Day attends SNL50: The Anniversary Special in February.
