Zoe Saldaña Surpasses Scarlett Johansson as Highest-Grossing Actress: Colin Jost's SNL Joke Adds Humor to Friendly Competition

Zoe Saldaña recently surpassed Scarlett Johansson as the highest-grossing actress of all time, a fact that was humorously acknowledged by Johansson's husband, Colin Jost, on Saturday Night Live. Jost joked about including the earnings from his own movies in the comparison, leading to a decrease in Johansson's total earnings. This playful jab comes after Saldaña's new film Avatar: Fire and Ash boosted her earnings to $15.47 billion, slightly ahead of Johansson's $15.40 billion.

Saldaña expressed her gratitude for the achievement in an Instagram video, thanking her fans, directors, and collaborators for their support and trust in her abilities. Jost, who married Johansson in 2020, has playfully addressed his wife's success in the past through SNL jokes, showcasing their lighthearted dynamic.

The friendly competition between Johansson and Saldaña highlights the impressive careers of both actresses and the support they receive from their fans. Jost's humorous take on the situation adds a touch of levity to the discussion of box office earnings and industry achievements.
