Colin Jostwants everyone to calm down. In an interview withEntertainment Tonight, the "SaturdayNight Live" star, 43, said he was surprised by how much attention has been paid to his wife,Scarlett Johansson, 40, kissing her costarJonathan Bailey, 37, on the lips while promoting their movie "Jurassic World Rebirth." "People really blow it out of proportion that someone kisses their friend hello," he said. "It's pretty nuts." The comedian also sarcastically joked that "of all the threats out there," he "wasn't thinking it was Jonathan," before quipping "it's going to be OK" and noting that Bailey "is an out gay man." Jost, who has been married to Johansson since 2020 and welcomed a child with her in 2021, also said that he and Bailey joked about the situation by asking each other, "I guess we have to kiss now? Is that what happens? Close the loop?" Johansson kissed Bailey on the lips on the red carpet at the London premiere of "Jurassic World Rebirth" on June 17 and again at the movie's New York premiere days later.

Michael Che apologizes:The 'Weekend Update' anchor tells Scarlett Johansson he's sorry for crude 'SNL' joke swap "Saturday Night Live" is on summer break, but Jost speculated that while he's eager to stop talking about the story, his fellow"Weekend Update" anchor Michael Chemay bring it back up in the fall. "I sense that perhaps with Michael Che, it might come back," Jost told Entertainment Tonight. "I don't need to get back into it, but he finds a way. Life finds a way."
