Scarlett Johansson gets slimed by Colin Jost during MTV Movie and TV Awards speech

Scarlett Johansson received the Generation Award at the 2021 MTV Movie and TV awards on Sunday. Her new husband, “Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost, was so excited that he appeared to get his award shows mixed up. He poured a bowl of green slime on Johansson while she was giving her acceptance speech.

“What the f***?” Johansson exclaimed.

Jost soon realized that he mixed up MTV and Nickelodeon. Getting “slimed” originated on Nickelodeon’s “You Can’t Do That On Television” and has become a staple of the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards.

Johansson’s stunned reaction was hilarious and one of the highlights of the night.
