Colin Jost has a wee update on wife Scarlett Johansson‘s last name.
The Saturday Night Live comedian—who tied the knot with Johansson in 2020—riffed on an audience member’s question about whether the Black Widow star’s three-syllable moniker is pronounced with a “Joe” or “Yo” while hosting Pop Culture Jeopardy!.
“I don’t know, I’ve never met her in person yet,” Jost quipped between fits of laughter, as seen in a July 18 clip of the Netflix show. “So, I want to hear how she says it.”
But jokes aside, Jost confessed that he does not pronounce his wife’s last name the Danish way.
“I certainly say Joe-hansson,” Jost admitted, before keeping up with the bit by adding, “I mean, I don’t say it really ever.”
And after getting through plenty of jokes about not being familiar with Johansson—with whom he shares son Cosmo, 4, and is stepdad to her daughter Rose, 11, with ex Romain Dauriac—Jost did share a bit of knowledge about the Lost in Translation actress’ family heritage.
