Colin Jost 'searched through dumpsters' for Scarlett Johansson's ring

Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson tied the knot in 2020

Colin Jost searched through "12 dumpsters of trash" to find Scarlett Johansson's engagement ring.

The 42-year-old comedian - who has been married to Scarlett since 2020 - has revealed that he embarked on a desperate search for the actress' engagement ring after she misplaced it.

During an appearance on 'Pop Culture Jeopardy!', Colin shared: "I looked through 12 dumpsters of trash!"

The 'Saturday Night Live' star was ultimately unsuccessful in his search - but as it transpired, it didn't actually matter.

Colin - who began dating Scarlett back in 2017 - explained: "I went back to the house and she said, 'Oops! It was in my pocket.' It was a great day for me."

Scarlett previously admitted that she didn't know what she "wanted or needed" before meeting Colin.

The Hollywood star - who was previously married to actor Ryan Reynolds and journalist Romain Dauriac - acknowledged that her relationship with Colin is unlike anything she's experienced before.

The 40-year-old actress said on the 'Goop' podcast: "I didn't know what I wanted or needed from somebody else.

"I never realised, 'Oh, it's really important for me, I need to be with a compassionate person. That's a fundamental characteristic that has to be there.'

"And I think that understanding what those fundamental things are that you need in a partner is a must, I think - for longevity, anyway. I think identifying those things was a game-changer for me."

Scarlett feels she's actually learned an important "life lesson" through her relationship with Colin.

The 'Lost in Translation' star explained: "[I was] finally able to step back and actually respect myself enough to know what those [fundamental] things were and be okay with it. That was a life lesson."
