The Tom Hanks Challenge

by Jason Adams

Last night in the middle of telling us about the forthcoming Academy Museum the actor Tom Hanks, father to Chet Haze, started joking about Scarlett Johansson operating an orbital sander. Nothing like a good orbital sander gag. And pivoting the gag over to ScarJo's plus one slash the head-writer of Saturday Night Live, Hanks continued:

"Brad Pitt was on the roof working with his shirt off. As was Colin Jost. And dude, that was no contest."

Is it no contest, though? Needless to say, given my brain's far reaching and encyclopedic thirst archives, I had an immediate flash of that time that Colin Jost got photographed at the beach taking off his wetsuit in September of 2018 (more here), and the immediate question presented itself...

Neither.

I love the way your brain works!

February 10, 2020 | Unregistered Commenteradams

I mean, both, if I'm being honest, but honestly-Brad Pitt is one of the sexiest man in the history of movies. Colin Jost is the sort of guy you instantly swipe right, but are probably not going to use your Super Like on.

"Needless to say, given my brain's far reaching and encyclopedic thirst archives"
Creepy as hell but funny AF.

Stop trying to make Colin Jost happen.

February 10, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterRyan T.

I've never thought Brad Pitt was as hot as everyone else does... but Jost plays Buttigieg on SNL, so Pitt wins this for me in a landslide.

February 10, 2020 | Unregistered Commenterjules

Ugh, Brad Pitt is such a dick. Give me Colin to go.

February 10, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterMark

Jost sucks and gets too much joy from unfunny digs at people being rightfully mad about things, particularly political on Weekend Update. If I hear another “I’s like..., but....” format joke from him I will burn down New York.

Plus he’s with walking privilege machine Scarlett Johansson, who is usually as wooden as the trees she longs to play. Minus Lost In Translation any of her roles could be played equally as well and probably better. (Under The Skin pending)

Tarantino knows a movie star when he sees one; the camera loves Brad.

February 10, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterJaragon

I'm going with Brad... obviously. Plus, he didn't make a fool of himself for sports entertainment at WrestleMania last year. And besides, WWE sucks.

Watch NWA, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, AEW, and anything that is good pro wrestling.

Colin Jost is awful.

February 10, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterJohn

I'd rather have Michael Che and Leo truthfully.

February 11, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterTom G.

Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson have this in common: the bad taste for men.

February 11, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterFrieda

Reel it in thevoid99, sentences on a boring tangent, then an opinion on the tangent, followed by a suggestion on the tangent is a bit tiring.

February 11, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterRey M.

It’s Brad. Always Brad.

February 11, 2020 | Unregistered Commenterthefilmjunkie

Personally Brad. But I was most entertained by the very wholesome Hanks taking a jab at Colin Jost! unusual public edginess.

February 11, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterTony T

Man, I love how an innocuous post like this still manages to generate a stream of negativity. Yikes. Definitely Pitt for me, one of the all-time dishiest movie stars. I like Jost, though, and think he’s funny.

February 11, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterJanet

Jost is a hack and Johansson is a pretty crappy person, so “good” pairing?

February 11, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterJackson

Janet -- so true. I wish people would learn that constantly trashing people they consider garbage doesn't make them look exactly non-garbagey you know? Live and let live and try to think positively!

February 11, 2020 | Registered CommenterNATHANIEL R

Jost hands down. Brad has never appealed to me. This awards season is the sexiest he has ever been (showered and in a tux). Jost, on the other hand, always looks hot. Those surfing shots show that Pitt to Jost's pits, Brad's 12 pack to Jost's treasure chest...the clear winner is Scarlett Johanssen.

February 11, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterMike. J.

That's an awful picture of Jost; he is way better looking than that. And he's hotter than Brad ever was.

February 12, 2020 | Unregistered Commenterferretrick

Fuck off fake Nathaniel R. We know he allows diverse opinions especially on people whose actions have shown them to be not great people. Ferrerick, different strokes, but damn that's a minority you must be in!
