Scarlett Johansson returned to Saturday Night Live for her seventh time as host—and it was legendary. The Black Widow star helped close out the milestone 50th season of the iconic sketch comedy show, and fans can’t stop talking about it.
When she stepped on stage, Scarlett showed why she’s a fan favorite. The episode opened with a hilarious monologue where she poked fun at husband Colin Jost, who’s been a longtime SNL cast member. “It’s nice to finally get a job on this show without sleeping with someone on the writing staff,” she joked, making the crowd roar.
But the real magic happened in the sketches. Scarlett brought back her fan-favorite character, “Veronica the alien abductee,” in a new skit that featured surprise cameos from Ryan Reynolds and Kenan Thompson. The chemistry was electric, and the sketch instantly went viral.
One of the biggest surprises of the night? A mini Marvel reunion! Scarlett teamed up with Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo for a sketch titled “Avengers Family Feud,” where the superheroes had to answer absurd questions in full costume. The audience went wild.
As the final episode of season 50, this one didn’t hold back. The cast and crew celebrated the historic season with a heartfelt tribute video at the end, highlighting the show’s biggest moments and thanking longtime fans for their support.
Scarlett’s seventh appearance places her among the elite ranks of SNL’s “Five-Timers Club,” and fans are already hoping she’ll be back for more. Social media exploded with praise, calling her one of the “greatest SNL hosts of all time.”
Whether you tuned in for the laughs, the surprises, or just to see Scarlett shine, one thing’s clear: this SNL finale will go down in history as one of the most iconic episodes yet.
