Scarlett Johansson, Colin Jost Make Rare Appearance Together Ahead of White House Correspondents’ Dinner
Jost will serve as the featured entertainer at the annual D.C. fundraiser
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost are celebrating in the Capital!
The actress, 39 and Saturday Night Live host, 41 – who tied the knot in 2020 – stepped out for the CAA Kickoff Party for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner weekend at La Grande Boucherie on Friday, April 26, in Washington, D.C.
Jost is slated to be the featured entertainer for Saturday’s fundraiser at the Washington Hilton, which raises funds for the White House Correspondents’ Association. Expected attendees include President and Dr. Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
Johannson and Jost were all smiles at the CAA event, flanked by agents Rachel Adler, Joe Machota, and CAA CEO Bryan Lourd.
The Black Widow star opted for a monochromatic look in a charcoal grey three-piece suit, while her husband kept things casual in a navy blue suit, white button-up and no tie.
Chris Pine was also at the event, fresh off the premiere of his new movie Poolman. The 43-year-old actor cleaned up very nicely for the agency event. Like Jost, he chose a navy suit, opting for a tuxedo with black lapels and no tie.
Pine was spotted chatting with Emhoff during the reception.
Rosario Dawson showed off a chic short bob and also wore dark blue.
Among the non-Hollywood attendees were journalists Savannah Guthrie, Andrea Mitchell, Wolf Blitzer, Martha Raddatz and more.
Jost joins a long line of featured entertainers who have headlined the annual event, including Trevor Noah and Roy Wood, Jr.
“Colin Jost knows how to make Saturday nights funny, and I am thrilled Colin will be live from the nation’s capital as the headline entertainer for this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” Kelly O’Donnell, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, said in a statement.
The D.C. celebration is considered a light-hearted affair where the President and other politicians are roasted.
