Colin Jost Names Only ‘Saturday Night Live’ Host He Begged for an Autograph

“It looks almost romantic,” Jost joked about the signature.

Turns out Scarlett Johansson isn’t the only Saturday Night Live host Colin Jost was awestricken by. Even though Jost and Johansson—who met on the set of SNL—tied the knot in October 2020 after three years of dating, Jost revealed that he never asked his now-wife for an autograph. In fact, Jost, 43, who began writing for SNL in 2005 and joined the cast in 2014, said that over his 20-year tenure at the show, he’s only asked one celebrity host for an autograph: Eli Manning. “[Manning’s] the only one I’ve asked because I’m such a Giants fan,” Jost told reporters at the 2025 Ryder Cup. He then explained that he got Manning to sign a promotional photo that pictured the former quarterback lying with his arms crossed behind his head on a bed of footballs. “He just signed it, ‘To Colin, Eli,’” Jost said. “It looks almost romantic. It’s such a funny photo.” Jost did not specify if this signature was obtained when Manning hosted in 2012 or when he made a cameo in 2007, but the duo reunited on Wednesday at the Ryder Cup Celebrity Pro-Am.
