Scarlett Johansson, Colin Jost debate Staten Island Ferry purchase

It's so great to see you. Thanks for coming back. Thanks for having me. I was lucky enough to meet your husband backstage, James Wright. A very talented musician. Very talented, yeah. Yes. Do you play any instruments on anything he does? Last time you were here, I think we made you play your teeth. I can play my teeth. Yeah, with your nails. Weirdly, he hasn't asked me to do that on anything, which is strange. Yeah, James, hello. You have that talent living with you. Yeah, I know. He's asked me to clap and whistle on things that he's done. That's not bad. No, but then it nearly ends in divorce because he says that I don't have any timing. I have no rhythm. For clapping, you need timing. I think you kind of do need timing. It just makes it difficult if you just mess it up. He wasn't offering to pay me, though. Maybe if he paid me, I would have... Well, he needed a Morricone sort of whistle, so I could get the tone. You can. I mean, no, not really. No, no. Just a taste. No, I'm better on my teeth. Wait a minute. Ooh. Well, that was a whistle. No, it was amazing. Anyway. Technically, it's real. He was not happy with the whistle. Unbelievable. I know. But then, good, so now he doesn't get to act in anything you do. No. I mean, he does sometimes. I get him to go through my lines with me. And he always, when he's acting, he thinks it's an American accent that he's doing. And it's actually, it's quite possibly the worst thing that I've ever heard in my life. So I always think if I can do that with him, then I can do it with anything. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, good. Yeah, I see you guys help each other out. How are the daughters? How old are your daughters? They're good. They're five and nine. No. Wow. It's happening. They're real people. I know. What are they watching? They're very cool right now. It's really weird. They're into, like, Studio Ghibli. And, like, you know, beautiful things where you're like, oh, well, this is just lovely. After seven years of Peppa Pig. You know? That kind of sense. You had to live through that. Yeah. And it's that, you know, that thing where you're like, oh, you know, they're so nice. Should we have another one? And you think, oh, yeah, I could do the pregnancy. I could even do the birth. Yeah. But I cannot watch any more Peppa Pig. It's not going to happen. So, no more kids. No, there's no more kids. Okay, good. No. You were telling me that your oldest daughter finds you embarrassing. She finds me really embarrassing, yeah. Why? How? It's really annoying. I thought it would like, you know, when they're teenagers, you think, yeah, they're going to find me embarrassing. Yeah, that's what everyone tells you. But, yeah, but nine, right? So, she's having this disco party. And we thought, oh, that's cool. And I was like, yay. And then I get to dance. And I can get all the girls dancing. And she's really into Lizzo. Like, she really is very cool. So, she's got Chapel Rowan, she loves. And Lizzo, she loves. And so, we were like, great. We'll put Lizzo on. And this is going to be amazing. And I'm going to get the girls. Mom, mom, you are so embarrassing. Just go and stand in the corner. Go and stand in the corner. Yeah. Go and clap and whistle in the corner. Yeah. You can't even clap and whistle. It was awful. Yeah. The holidays are here. We're very decorated for the holidays. You were in one of the greatest holiday films of all time, Love Actually. I know. Kind of crushed it. Yeah. Do you watch that when it comes on? Do you go, oh, yeah, it's one of my – is it one of your – you don't? I saw it at the premiere when I was 18. And I've never seen it since. This is nothing about Love Actually. I don't really watch anything I do. But I know that Love Actually obviously has become this massive thing. And for lots of people, it's part of their Christmas. But we've actually – no, I've not seen it since then. But what is Keira Knightley's favorite holiday movie? What do you watch? Die Hard. Don't start. Oh, my goodness. Absolutely not. That is ridiculous. Please don't start that, please. Oh, no, no, no. Let's talk about your new Netflix series. Number 1, by the way. It feels good to be number 1, right? I feel quite nice. Yeah. You know? Thank you. Number 1. And you're getting rave reviews. And you got nominated for a Golden Globe today! Come on! What a great day for you. It's been a good day. Yeah. Okay. Well, you play a spy in this. And people are chasing you. You kind of changed the game on this whole genre. What drew you to the show? Well, I think I wanted to kick ass. Yeah. You know? And I'm, like, a mom of two, and I'm so child-friendly at home. And I just wanted to do something that was a bit punk and kind of blew everything up. And different, yeah. So, a bit different, yeah. And I think, actually, this is totally, for me, is my kind of teenage self, because I was always completely obsessed with The Godfather. And I'd watch it again and again and again. And actually, I always wanted to play Michael Corleone. And strangely enough, nobody saw me in that character. I can't understand why. But this is the closest that I'm ever going to get to it. Yeah. And you do your own stunts. You really are kick-ass. I mean, I really am. And what training is that? What do you do? You just, you fight all day? Well, it was quite annoying. But you know what? It was quite annoying. Because when I first got the script, there wasn't any fights in it. And I was the spy. So I was doing, like, spy acting. But I thought I could be quite lazy doing spy acting. And then my best friend in it is meant to be an assassin. So he got to do all the fight scenes. And then as they did all these rewrites, first of all, guns. I thought, okay, I can still be lazy with a gun or whatever. Lazy. You know, whatever. And then suddenly it's knife fighting. And it's like, it's all this other stuff. And suddenly you can't be lazy anymore. And you've got to really get down to the gym and work out a lot and learn it all. You're like, can we go back to the first script? Where I was just kind of looking around the corner. I'm not doing anything. I'm just peeking. Peeking around the corner. I'll do my spy eyes. But that's about it. Spy eyes, yeah. No, but yeah, I'm fighting a lot. Your co-star, Ben Whishaw, is the voice of Paddington Bear, by the way. He is. Do the kids know that and they freak out? They do know that, but they just don't. They're like, that's not Paddington. That is a thin English man. Yeah, my kids don't get that either. No, they don't get it at all. And you go, no, but he is Paddington. He watched that movie a thousand times. Yeah, no, exactly. And they don't know. It doesn't compute. I thought I could try and get him to do a voice note or something. And then they might think I'm cool. No, don't do it. Why start now? Can we tell everybody what the show is about? Yes, it's sort of, okay, it's like, it's a spy show wrapped in a murder mystery wrapped in a buddy movie. Yes, that's a great description. Are you kidding me? Here's Keira Knightley in Black Doves. Take a look at this. Do you know him? Yes, he's a civil servant. Ministry of Justice, I think I met him. I met him once at a drinks reception. Helen, you should know that I've had eyes on you recently. So I know you had lunch with him yesterday. I know you were in a hotel with him last week between the hours of 6.30 and 8 p.m. I know that you met on the 20th of November. I know, well, I don't know exactly when the affair started, but I assume that's what it is. What, an affair? Yes.
