Scarlett Johansson Wants to Co-Host 'TODAY With Jenna & Friends'
Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson have two children.
Johansson has co-hosted TODAY With Jenna & Friends several times before and previously revealed that joining for good is her dream.
"[Co-hosting] TODAY really is a fantasy job for me," she told an outlet in March. "I like every element of that job, because I love talking to people. It’s not dissimilar from hosting Saturday Night Live in some ways. The live element of it is really fun. Spontaneous and a little dangerous too. I would never want my own TV show."
Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson got married in October 2020.
Bush Hager — who first met the actress at a dinner party — agreed she would be the perfect fit for her weekday series.
"Scarlett was here as a guest after Hoda [Kotb] announced she was leaving, and I asked her, 'Would you ever come and guest host?' And she said 'one-hundred percent,'" Bush Hager recalled. "She's intentional. And she wears cool clothes. Scarlett is an Avenger. But her bada--ery is not surpassed by her kindness and her generosity. It’s miraculous for somebody who’s been in this industry for so long, which can turn people...You know, into not kind and generous."
