Scarlett Johansson, Colin Jost’s Parenting Debate Gives Rare Glimpse Into Marriage E! News

Yeah, she was like, I want to work in television now. I was like, television? Gross. Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost are putting their debate skills to the test. During the January 22 episode of Jenna and Friends, host Jenna Bush Hager and her guest co-host for the week, Scarlett, were joined by Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost for a round of the great debate. After gifting Scarlett flowers and giving her a kiss, Colin praises his wife for her morning television hosting duties and explains the reason why he arrived with a bouquet. Colin, good to see you. How are you? Y'all are going to debate. How are you, Colin? Good to see you. I'm doing great. You guys are great together. I mean, well, she's going to come on our show. Is that cool? Yeah, this is my job now. You have to do the cereal every morning. Is that OK? Every morning. Great. He just took a really deep breath. Yeah, she was like, I want to work in television now. I was like, television? Gross. Did I give you any? No, I didn't have any advice. I feel like I had to bring flowers on because yesterday, out of the gate, she was like, he never writes me a love letter. He just sends me, like, sexual emojis. I was like, what? No, you firstly read into that. I was like, that was the first thing you said. I didn't say, I didn't use that word. You interpreted it that way. We're already debating, guys. I think we have tape. The couple, who share three-year-old son Cosmo, kick off the debate with this topic about their parenting skills. Your next topic is, who's better reading the kids' books to your kids? Colin, you will go first. Who's the better children's book reader? I guess I would say me. Um, here's the thing. You know how actors can sometimes sort of do a whole acting thing, you know? And they tend to sort of make it all about them. I'm not naming names, but just actors in general. I feel like I let the literature shine. I let the author speak through me. I'm a vessel. Scarlett goes on to make her case about why she's the better story reader. All I know is that before the children go to sleep, what do they want? They want, like, they want the mama's touch. They want to be soothed. They want to be brought into another land. I love to do all the voices for them. They ask me, do the voices. Do the voices, mom. And that shows me that I'm winning. I'm winning. As for how the couple feels about big purchases, Jenna raises this debate question directed at Colin about his purchase of the Staten Island Ferry with his former SNL co-star Pete Davidson over two years ago. OK, the last topic is buying the Staten Island Ferry. Good idea or bad idea? Scarlett, you will get to go first. All I can say is that if anybody out there would like to sort of go fund me for the Staten Island Ferry, please be my guest. I don't know if I'm speaking for the Staten Island Ferry or against it, but help our family. This has now become a telethon for support the Staten Island Ferry. Sounds like it was a bad idea. Although Scarlett seems ready to offload the decommissioned ferry, Colin seems to believe there's still hope for the boat, which was purchased for $280,000, according to The New York Times. All I'll say is I hope you have a good thick pair of gloves at home, because someday you're going to be getting so many paper cuts from all the checks that start rolling in from this ferry. 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. If we sell it for scrap metal, we could actually maybe. That's what you're going to use the gloves for, handling the scrap metal? Wait, can you, I just need, as the judge, to ask one question. Can the ferry be taken away from the dock? I mean, could it be let loose to just drift? 100%. It's actually one of the things our insurers are worried about.
