Colin Jost Reacts To Scarlett Johansson Highest-Grossing Actor
Scarlett, who has been acting since the '90s, famously plays superhero Black Widow, and she has appeared in eight MCU films, the highest-grossing being Avengers: Endgame.
After news of Scarlett's major acting feat broke, her husband, Colin Jost, was asked about her achievement by Entertainment Tonight at an event — and in true comedian style, he immediately took the opportunity to poke fun at himself.
'When you think about it, combined, me and her are probably one of the top couples at the box office ever,' he quipped. 'She's probably doing a little bit more of that lifting, but combined, you know what I mean? That could be a huge record, too.'
'I've been in several number-one movies. I basically only do number-one movies,' he said, citing Tom and Jerry, Coming 2 America, and How to Be Single.
While it seems pretty obvious that Colin was joking, some internet users took his response seriously. One person commented, 'So his first thought after hearing her success is to weirdly leech off it... uh yeah HUGE red flag,' while another said, 'She deserves better.'
However, thankfully, many others caught on to Colin's joke and jumped to his defense in the comments. 'why are people taking his answer so seriously he's clearly joking,' one popular comment read. 'it's a joke he's not being serious,' someone else wrote.
Going on to praise Colin's lighthearted reaction, one person wrote, "Honestly, this feels so on brand. And I love that he never seems to feel threatened by her success and openly praises her on TV, SNL, etc."

Anthony Mackie hooks his first career Daytime Emmy nomination for hosting ‘Shark Beach'
Some fin-tastic news for Anthony Mackie: he can now add "Daytime Emmy nominee" to his résumé. The blockbuster actor, who has starred in several Marvel films, most recently as the title character in Captain America: Brave New World, as well as Best Picture Oscar winner The Hurt Locker, earned his first career Daytime Emmy nomination on Thursday for Shark Beach With Anthony Mackie: Gulf Coast. His specific category, Best Personality (Non-Daily), was only created last year, and specifically honors "hosts, cohosts, anchors, correspondents, and narrators on Daytime eligible content that airs or streams weekly or all at once, and/or has fewer than 52 episodes per calendar year." More from Gold Derby BLACKPINK returns with comeback single 'JUMP': Watch the video now Tony Awards name 2026 nominating committee, including Tony winners Victoria Clark and BD Wong. Here's how they'll pick the contenders Mackie will compete against David Attenborough for Secret Lives of Orangutans; Brad Bestelink for Living With Leopards; Andi Sweeney Blanco, Courtney Dober, Rob North, and Kirin Stone for The Fixers, and Martha Stewart for Martha Gardens. Mackie was previously on the Primetime Emmys ballot for projects like Twisted Metal (2023), The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021), Solos (2021), Altered Carbon (2020), Black Mirror (2019), and All the Way (2016), but failed to convert any of those into a nomination. Mackie has a shot at achieving a rare feat: nabbing Daytime and Primetime Emmy bids within the same year. He's a contender for guest-starring on the Apple TV+ comedy The Studio as himself in a storyline in which he tries to get movie executive Matt Remick (Seth Rogen) to cut a long, self-indulgent sequence from Ron Howard's latest film. The Primetime Emmy nominations will be announced on July 15. Prior to today, Mackie notable awards bids included a Screen Actors Guild nomination for Best Ensemble for The Hurt Locker, plus mentions at the BET, Gotham, Spirit, NAACP, and People's Choice Awards. Released last July as a part of National Geographic's annual "Sharkfest," Shark Beach With Anthony Mackie documents the New Orleans native as he investigates increasing reports of shark encounters around the Gulf Coast. Mackie is joined by a team of leading shark experts and scientists as they explore whether humans and sharks can coexist in the same ecosystem. Following its premiere on Nat Geo, Shark Beach debuted on streaming services Disney+ and Hulu. Last year's inaugural Daytime Emmy winner for Best Personality (Non-Daily) was Christian Cooper for Extraordinary Birder With Christian Cooper. There's not enough historical data to notice any trends in this category, though a victory for Mackie, Attenborough, or Bestelink would suggest voters are fans of programs centered around animals. Shark Beach With Anthony Mackie: Gulf Coast also received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Best Non-Fiction Directing Team (Single Camera) for Matt Kay. The category's co-nominees are all animal-related: Living With Leopards, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild, The Secret Lives of Animals, and Secret Lives of Orangutans. The 2025 Daytime Emmys ceremony will take place Oct. 17 in Pasadena, Calif.

Beyoncé Lands Another Shot At Her First Emmy As Cowboy Carter NFL Halftime Show Takes On ‘SNL', Twice
Beyoncé has received eight Emmy nominations over the year but the most-award artist in Grammy history is still searching for a TV win. The Cowboy Carter star will have another crack at an Emmy this year after her Netflix NFL halftime show Beyoncé Bowl was nominated in Outstanding Variety Special (Live), going head-to-head with both SNL50: The Anniversary Special and SNL50: The Homecoming Concert. More from Deadline Primetime Emmy Nominations: The Complete List 'Squid Game,' Diego Luna & Elisabeth Moss Snubbed In Emmy Nominations; Beyoncé & Martin Scorsese Among Big Surprises Music Supervisor Gabe Hilfer Lands Three Nominations In The Same Category It marks an interesting battle between one of the biggest pop stars in the world and a TV special that featured more A-list celebrities and former SNL stars than could fit in Studio 8H. Other nominees in the category include The Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime ShowStarring Kendrick Lamar and The Oscars. Last year, The Oscars, which was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, won the award, beating out The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show Starring Usher, The 66th Grammy Awards, The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady and The 76th Annual Tony Awards. NFL halftime shows do have some recent form when it comes to winning Emmys; in 2022, The Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, which starred Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent won the award. Beyoncé has been previously nominated for her Lemonade special in 2016, which lost out to The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Prime Time Special in the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special category, and her Homecoming documentary in the Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) in 2019. She was also nominated for Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program in 2013 for her Super Bowl halftime show, in 2015 for Outstanding Special Class Program for her On The Run Tour special, while Lemonade also picked up an Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special nomination in 2016 and Homecoming was also nominated in that category in 2019, as well as picking up noms for Outstanding Music Direction and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special. RELATED: Where's My Show? Why Some Of Your Favorites Won't Be Emmy-Nominated This Year One of the small controversies during this year's Emmy season was the fact that Netflix invited TV Academy members to screen the 13-minute special last month in L.A at a suite at SoFi Stadium before one of her Cowboy Carter dates with voters able to stay and watch the show, a move that upset NBC and SNL creator Lorne Michaels. But NBC should take solace in the fact that SNL50: The Anniversary Special, the live, three-hour celebration that took place on February 13, picked up a total of 12 nominations.

'SNL''s Devon Walker says Try Guys sketch writer was doxxed by fans: 'They had to get security for him'
Writing for Saturday Night Live might have unintended consequences. Devon Walker, who joined the sketch show its 48th season, said that an SNL staffer was doxxed and received death threats after writing a sketch that mocked the YouTube creators The Try Guys. "They had to get security for him because people were sending him death threats, 'cause he wrote a sketch on Saturday Night Live," Walker said on the podcast Lemme Say This. Representatives for Saturday Night Live did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment. On the podcast, Walker said that a writer who he "will not name because this got him in so much s---" infuriated the Try Guys fandom after penning the 2022 sketch that mocked the group's response to an infamous workplace scandal. "He went to college with one of the Try Guys guys," Walker said of the writer. "[He] wasn't friends with him or anything, just went to school with him. [He] wrote a sketch about it, kind of just being like, 'Isn't this a silly thing that we're all getting upset about?' He literally got doxxed. He got doxxed by the Try Guys fans." The sketch in question saw a CNN reporter (Brendan Gleeson) interrupt his broadcast at the White House to discuss the breaking news that the Try Guys (played by Bowen Yang, Mikey Day, and Andrew Dismukes) had dismissed former member Ned Fulmer from their ranks after cheating on his wife with an employee at their company. Walker said that the Try Guys fandom's backlash to the sketch illustrates why he never wants to engage in online scandals or feuds. "I just wanna live a peaceful life," he said. "I just wanna walk around my neighborhood, eat scones. I don't want the smoke, really. I don't wanna be in no beef. They had to get security for him." Fulmer actually was the center of a scandal that led to his exit from the group after having an affair with an employee. Some critics of the sketch argued that SNL's parody of the incident inappropriately made light of the problematic power dynamic between Fulmer and his employee, while others noted that Fulmer went to Yale at the same time as SNL writer Will Stephen. (Representatives for Stephen did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.)Listen to the full interview with Walker above. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
