Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost Have Glam Date Night at White House Correspondents’ Dinner

It’s Saturday Night Live … from Washington, D.C.!

Husband and wife Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson had a parents’ night out on Saturday, April 27, at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The pair attended the event at the Washington Hilton in Washington D.C., where Jost was selected by the White House Correspondents’ Association to be the host for the organization’s most high-profile event of the year.  

Johannson, 39, wore a custom Giorgio Armani Privé white silk strapless column gown trimmed with crystals.

Jost, 41, meanwhile, complimented his love in a Giorgio Armani navy blue one-button peak lapel tuxedo trimmed in satin. He paired it with a white evening shirt and a bow tie.

The event, usually attended by the president and the first lady, helps to raise money for the WHCA, funds journalism scholarships and honors recipients of the WHCA’s professional journalism awards.

The dinner’s featured speaker has usually been a comedian, with names like Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O’Brien, hosting the annual dinner and roast in the past. 

Jost and Johannson, who are parents to 2-year-old son Cosmo, have been romantically involved since 2017, but they first met on the set of Saturday Night Live during Johannson’s first time hosting the late-night comedy sketch show.

Though Jost has been a regular writer on Saturday Night Live since 2005 and is known for co-anchoring the “Weekend Update” sketch segment, Johannson is no stranger to the show either. The Avengers actress has hosted the show a total of six times since her first time in 2006 and is a member of the show’s prestigious Five-Timers Club.
