Scarlett Johansson is weighing the fate of Colin Jost in “Saturday Night Live”.

The actor was asked about her husband’s work status while promoting her new film, “Eleanor The Great”, at the Toronto 2025 International Film Festival.

“He will return to work,” Johansson confirmed to Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive interview on Sunday.

Jose himself has not yet intervened in his return, or the probability of returning on the desk of the “weekend update” along with his a lot of time reference, Michael Che.

Jost began in “Saturday Night Live” in 2005 and served as the main writer of the program for many years. He began his period in “update” in 2014.

Michaels added that “there could not be such interruptions, or anything that was removed the 50th season of the program, since it was both an electoral year and an important milestone in the history of the program.

As the staff departures and shots continue in the headlines, there is a favorite of fans whose departure is in debate.

The “SNL” Dana Carvey student recently speculated that Heidi Gardner, who has been in the program for eight years, was asked to leave.
