"Saturday Night Live" boss Lorne Michaels wants his staff to keep professional and personal life separate. According to Naughty Gossip, he has made it clear that he is not fond of seeing the NBC long-running comedy show's cast members and crew hooking up with celebrity hosts.
"Scarlett Johansson and 'Weekend Update' Colin Jost have been seen hooking up and now it has been revealed that Ben Affleck has been seeing 'SNL' producer Lindsay Shookus. This is getting ridiculous," says a source to the news outlet.
The source goes on saying, " 'SNL' is a comedy show not a celebrity-dating app," before adding, "The staff needs to knock it off." Interestingly, another source hints that the two couples are not going to be the last couple born on "SNL".
Scarlett and the host sparked dating rumors after they were spotted making out at an "SNL" after-party held at the ice rink at Rockefeller Center. "Scarlett and Colin were making out at the bar at the 'SNL' season finale party at 30 Rock," a source revealed at that time. "They would make out a bit, then go back to talking," continued the source. "They were at the bar in front of everyone... they made out at least twice... Then they went back to talking and hanging with other people."
As for Ben and Lindsay, rumors had it that they started their affair back in 2013 despite going public just recently. The pair allegedly started dating when both of them were still married to their respective spouses. According to a source, they "full-on had an affair. They would fly back and forth, but he would mostly visit her in New York." The source added, "They didn't hide... They would use the Mandarin Oriental [hotel]. They were regulars."
