A few weeks ago, I broke down boxes and threw a bunch of things out for trash day. I thought I was being productive until later that evening, when Mr. Rosie asked me where “the box from (friend’s name) was.” As it turns out, a friend had mailed him a few small items and I’d completely missed them within the packing materials. I kinda freaked out and offered to go look through the trash at the curb to find them and retrieve them. Sadly for Mr. Rosie, but luckily for me, it was too late. But, the intention was there, and I think in that situation, it was the thought that counts.
Colin Jost has a similar story of dumpster-diving for his boo, only his involves a $400,000 engagement ring and 12 different dumpsters (allegedly). Colin and Scarlett Johansson started dating in 2017, got engaged in 2019, and were married in 2020. While hosting an episode of Amazon Prime’s Pop Culture Jeopardy, Colin shared the story of that time Scarlett lost her engagement ring and believed that she had accidentally thrown it away. Proving that chivalry is not dead, Colin decided to help a girl out and search through some (presumably) NYC trash to find it.
Now this is a marriage story about Scarlett Johansson.
Colin Jost said he once went dumpster diving across New York City when the Black Widow star—who he married in 2020—lost her engagement ring.
“My wife actually lost her engagement ring,” he shared while hosting a season one episode of Pop Culture Jeopardy!, explaining that Scarlett thought she “accidentally threw it in the trash.”
The comedian continued, “I looked through 12 dumpsters of trash.”
But his efforts were of no avail, forcing him to return home empty-handed.
“I went back to the house and she said, ‘Oops! It was in my pocket,'” Colin quipped. “It was a great day for me.”
Oh man. I mean, that’s love right there. Though, honestly, if my famous actress fiancé accidentally threw out a ring that cost almost half a million dollars, I’d be searching trash bins, too. (You can see a picture of it below; it’s got some big bling.) But to search through a dozen dumpsters, only to have the ring turn up in a pocket in the end…that’s rough. Kinda wild that she didn’t check her pockets first, but sometimes, we miss things when we’re panicking. The way I imagine this conversation going down in my head is this: Scarlett: “But I thought I threw it in the garbage in the end.” Colin: “Well, baby, I went down and searched them for you.” Scarlett: ”Oh, you shouldn’t have. I just found it in my pocket.” Anyway, I’m glad that the story had a happy ending and she found the ring in the end.

That ring that looks like a blingy roach on her finger? I would’ve thrown it in a dumpster far away. Oops.
Thank you because I thought I was the only one thinking that this ring was way too enormous. It would for sure make a lot of noise if it were to fall into the trash.
I thought the same! It’s super fug.
Agreed. That is one ugly ring.
That’s hilarious from y’all. It’s my favorite celebrity ring of all time. Honey brown golden pear. Good thing we all like different things. If someone tossed a round white brilliant on a table in front of me I wouldn’t pick it up. Too generic.
I thought it was hideous when I first saw it and now I like it a lot.
I love the look of a big, juicy statement ring, but I hate how they feel and usually end up taking them off and putting them down somewhere. I would be just the type of person to set my giant ring on a counter or in my pocket and then freak out thinking I’d thrown it away.
I love it too. One of my fave celebrity rings
I was staying with a friend and she had a complete meltdown one morning where she was certain she had thrown her phone into a giant bin at the dump. She went straight to apple to start the process of buying a new one, while I was attempting to hack her Apple ID to access the ‘find my’ feature (she had forgotten her password). I had success JUST before she dropped coin buying a new one. It was under the seat in the car. Now, if I could just find the second earring in the pair I lost over Christmas, I will be 2 for 2 this year!
I love the ring! It’s made by my favorite, Tafin Jewelry. The company thinks outside of the box with their designs.
Maybe the ring is supposed to have an Avengers vibe? You know how if you get cold hands your fingers shrink? Maybe that happened and it slipped off in her pocket. It happened to me at work once and I was gesturing and my ring went flying into one of the hundred files sitting around my office. I couldn’t find it, was really upset, and then about 10 people from nearby offices and desks came in to scour every file and square inch of carpet and Linda (literally our file clerk) found it to resounding cheers and tears. I did buy lunch.
She always looks so happy with him. 3rd times a charm. Good for her. He is funny and handsome.
