Colin Jost was afraid of marriage prior Scarlett Johansson engagement

While Colin Jost is engaged to Scarlett Johansson, the comedian used to find it hard to imagine being a married man. Jost joked about his insights on marriage prior to meeting Johansson during a stand-up set at the Guild Hall in the Hamptons last Saturday. The comedic performance was for the benefit of celiac disease research.

ā€œItā€™s madness to me,ā€ Jost said about the Hamptons. ā€œItā€™s like, ā€˜look, I put in 1,000 bushes so I never have to see my neighbor.ā€™ ā€˜Oh, who do you live next to?ā€™ ā€˜Billy Joel!ā€™ ā€˜You see him a lot?ā€™ ā€˜No, no, he put up 2,000 bushes.ā€™ā€Šā€

When his audience noticed the engagement band on his ring finger the Saturday Night Live comedian delved into marriage, saying, ā€œIā€™m getting married and itā€™s such a crazy thing,ā€ as reported by Page Six.

ā€œI was so scared of marriage for so long because every time I talked to someone who just got married, or was about to get married, is like, ā€˜Oh my God, you got to do it ā€¦ What could go wrong?ā€™ā€ he quipped.

Jost continued, ā€œThen you talk to someone whoā€™s been married for five years, and theyā€™re like, ā€˜Donā€™t rush into it ā€¦ you have your whole life ahead of you. Donā€™t have kids. Theyā€™re the worst.ā€™ā€

Johansson and Jost made headlines when they got engaged in May after dating for two years. The actress was seen sporting an 11-carat ring when she appeared at the recently concluded San Diego Comic-Con.
