Searching 12 dumpsters of trash for wife Scarlett Johansson’s misplaced engagement ring, Colin Jost
“It was a great day for me,” the comedian jokingly recalled while hosting the Amazon Prime Video game show ‘Pop Culture Jeopardy!’
Colin Jost is recalling the time he went dumpster diving — all in the name of saving the day for his wife Scarlett Johansson.
While hosting an episode of Pop Culture Jeopardy! on Amazon Prime Video, the comedian, 42, revealed that Johansson, 40, once lost her engagement ring. When the actress told him she thought she might have “accidentally” thrown the ring in the trash, Jost heroically jumped into action.
“I looked through 12 dumpsters of trash,” he said on the game show, explaining that he ultimately had no luck finding the missing jewelry.Jost then shared the story’s hilarious ending twist. “I went back to the house and she said, ‘Oops! It was in my pocket,’ ” he said, joking, “It was a great day for me.”
The Saturday Night Live star and Johansson tied the knot in October 2020 after first being romantically linked in 2017. They share a 3-year-old son, Cosmo, along with the actress’ daughter Rose Dorothy, 10, from her previous marriage to ex Romain Dauriac.
Last year, Johansson gushed about Jost while reminiscing about the 40th birthday party he threw for her. During a Nov. 26 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, she described her husband as “a very, very, very great guy.”
