Colin Jost’s SNL Joke Pokes Fun at Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni Drama

During SNL’s Weekend Update segment, Colin Jost subtly poked fun at the ongoing feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Amidst a political headline discussion, he discreetly inserted a witty comment referencing the controversy around “It Ends With Us”. This unexpected joke sparked curiosity among viewers, leaving many wondering what exactly he had said.

In this piece, we’ll explore the specifics behind Jost’s amusing anecdote featuring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni during their SNL appearance.

What did Colin Jost say about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni?

During the Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update segment, Colin Jost playfully compared Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal dispute to Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s efforts to maintain a good relationship with President Trump. In essence, he humorously suggested that just as Zelenskyy was trying to keep Trump happy, Baldoni might be hoping for another chance to work with Lively on a project together.

Jost stated that Zelenskyy was asked to depart from the White House and later appeared on Fox News expressing hope for continuing his relationship with President Trump, which is similar to Justin Baldoni expressing a desire to collaborate with Blake again. This statement sparked interest among viewers, further intensifying the ongoing debate about the controversy.

Last year, a legal disagreement started between Lively and Baldoni. Lively initiated a lawsuit against Baldoni, claiming sexual harassment and retaliation. In turn, Baldoni filed a counter-suit against both Lively and Ryan Reynolds, alleging defamation and extortion. Both parties have refuted these accusations, each asserting that the other is trying to tarnish their respective reputations.

Reflecting on the SNL 50th-anniversary special, I couldn’t help but chuckle when Jost’s quip followed closely on the heels of Reynolds’ subtle comment about the ongoing situation. When questioned about his wellbeing, Reynolds playfully retorted, “I’m doing great! So, what’s the gossip?” The exchange ignited a flurry of conversation. Subsequently, Baldoni’s legal representative, Bryan Freedman, spoke out against Reynolds’ SNL jest. He asserted that allegations of sexual misconduct should never be trivialized as humor.
