The folks at Saturday Night Live opted to keep it all in the family (kind of) for this weekend’s new episode, by having actress Scarlett Johansson — who’s engaged to Colin Jost, duh — host the brand-new episode!
In doing so, the movie star had a little fun needling the Weekend Update co-host and successful show writer, as you can see in her fresh new monologue (above)! Considering it’s now the sixth time the A-lister has hosted the show, she’s not exactly new to all this… and she handled the whole night just fine!

Even while the monologue itself quickly devolved into bizarre (and somewhat dated?) Marvel territory before a hilarious exchange involving the oft-absent Pete Davidson, ScarJo eventually brought things back by being authentic about how much the show really meant to her. And it didn’t hurt that she exchanged a cute little kiss with Jost near the end of her monologue! These two are just so freakin’ cute, aren’t they?!
Still, it was interesting that they never really touched on any of the actresses’ more recent controversies. Understandable, we suppose, assuming the writers (Jost included) would choose to keep this a safe place for the 35-year-old, but still… it’s a little interesting they didn’t at least have a little fun with something in the area, ya know?!
But alas…
Hey, in addition to the lovey-dovey opener itself, you can check out the rest of ScarJo’s SNL clips from last night, all highlighted and ready for you to watch in full (below):
Very, very funny, indeed!
ScarJo is an old pro at this, what can we say?!

Speaking of the legendary Lost in Translation actress, though, here’s all the work her adorable better half put in last night on his own mid-show mainstay, Weekend Update, as well (below):
Always topical and funny! Tightly written, well thought out… and even plenty of Donald Trump!

Aside from everything ScarJo and Jost-related, though, there were a few other SNL skits of note the fans enjoyed all the same — including last night’s cold open, which you can watch (below) along with a couple more:
So great!!!
Forget about the six-time host and all the show’s skits for at least a minute, though, because last night’s musical guest made major waves performing live, too!

Former One Direction band member Niall Horan was the guest musician tasked with playing two tracks last night, and he did just fine out on his own! Harry Styles may be the one courting all the media attention right now, but as you can see (below), Niall didn’t exactly disappoint when it was his time to turn the lights on, either!
