Johansson reportedly complained to McKinnon about never getting to meet great men – a comment which the SNL veteran took to heart.

Weekend Update co-host Jost, 35, and McKinnon have been great friends for a while now, and according to pals, The Big Gay Sketch Show actress thought the comedian hunk and Johansson would make a great match.

While the relationship is still new and “not that serious,” sources confirm the new couple is having “a great time.”

As RadarOnline.com reported, Johansson and her new man were spotted enjoying their 4th of July weekend in Montauk with the actor’s family.

According to showbiz insiders, upon first meeting the Hollywood bombshell, Jost was “star struck,” and she was “all over him.”
