Colin Jost Playfully Doubles Down on Being the Plus One in Scarlett Johansson Marriage

Colin Jost is happy with his marriage story.

Besides being “financially” beneficial, the 43-year-old revealed what he likes most about being less famous than his wife Scarlett Johansson. 

“Just low expectations,” Colin told Carson Daly on the Today show May 20, “you know, like you can be like, ‘Hey, what’s up? I’m here too.’”

Indeed, the Avengers star—who shares 4-year-old Cosmo with Colin and Rose, 11, with ex Romain Dauriac—has been acting since she was a child. As a result, the 41-year-old has been in the spotlight a lot longer than the Saturday Night Live cast member. 

But Colin doesn’t mind acting as a plus one to the Marriage Story actress. And fellow “plus one fraternity” member Travis Kelce, who is engaged to Taylor Swift, is right there with him. In fact, as the NFL player quipped during Colin’s May 13 appearance on his New Heights podcast, “How nice is it to be the less famous person in the relationship?”

With a laugh, Colin responded, “Huge relief. Really.”
