Che joked about the wife carrying contest winners from Finland, then quipped that Scarlett Johansson won the husband carrying one. Jost, married to the 41-year-old actress since 2020, looks straight-faced and clapped back that they both bring home food, just. Different kinds, the pair first met when Johansson hosted the show years ago. They started dating in 2017 and tied the knot three years later. Their relationship has fueled plenty of on-air laughs over time. Johansson has shared how it feels watching the show now. She described the slight sense of panic, knowing something unpredictable might drop since she so invested personally, that edge keeps everyone hooked during live broadcasts. Back in December 2024, Jost read a punchline about Costco pulling roast beef sandwiches, tying it to nights after their son Cosmos.
