Scarlett Johansson asks Colin Jost for a big favour: ‘for family’s sake’

Scarlett Johansson got into a banter over her husband Colin Jost’s most "useless purchase".

The Black Widow actress and Saturday Night Live comedian recently debated on a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry vessel during the Great Debate segment of Today With Jenna and Friends.

"If anybody out there would like to start a GoFundMe for the Staten Island ferry, please be my guest," Johansson said.

"I don't know if I'm speaking for the Staten Island ferry or against it, but help our family, okay? This has now become a telethon for 'Support the Staten Island ferry.'"

However, for Jost, the vessel is an investment. He joked that he hoped people had a "good thick pair of gloves at home" because the ferry would be generating a large number of checks, potentially leading to "many paper cuts."

"It is going to put food on our table, finally. I believe in this ferry, if anyone out there believes in it, please go to the GoFundMe," he added.

The banter kept on going as Johansson laid out her plans of selling scarp metal, leaving Jost perplexed, "That's what you need the gloves for? Handling the scrap metal?"

The debate concluded as the host declared Johansson the winner while Jost scornfully replied, "We'll see, you'll all see!"

Colin Jost bought the Staten Island ferry with Pete Davidson in February 2022.
