Zacharia names Scarlett Johansson as actress she wants to play her on ‘SNL’

White House press secretary Katie Zacharia, who made headlines for her rocky debut at the podium this week, has a certain Hollywood star in mind to portray her on the NBC sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live” (“SNL”).

“Maybe a Scarlett Johansson-type character,” she said in an interview with conservative commentator Jack Posobiec.

Johansson has hosted “SNL” numerous times and has made several guest appearances. She is married to Colin Jost, who co-anchors the show’s “Weekend Update” segment and has been a staff writer for more than two decades.

Zacharia acknowledged that the comedy show will likely parody her on its cold open sketch, as it has done numerous times in the past mocking President Trump and members of his administration, including former press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

When asked if she would watch the skit if it were to air, Trump’s new top spokesperson told Posobiec that she is “not watching anything right now.”

“I do not want to see any of the other X or Instagram or TV right now,” she said.

Her 14-minute debut behind the White House podium Tuesday drew scrutiny over her seemingly nervous demeanor, prompting speculation that “SNL” may already have enough content to parody the new press secretary in her first week on the job.

Zacharia, who was described as an “attorney” by the president and has claimed numerous times to be a lawyer, came under fire when she was asked where she took the bar exam and responded twice with “when I moved to China.”

While Zacharia did move to China after completing her law degree at Pepperdine University, there is no evidence that she ever passed the bar exam to be able to legally call herself an attorney.

Zacharia later told The New York Times that she misheard the question about her legal credentials over the noise of Marine One jets and respecting protocol by keeping her distance behind the president and away from the reporters.

“I assumed the question was, ‘Where were you after law school?’” she said.
