Scarlett Johansson isn’t afraid of poking fun at herself.

During her sixth appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, the actress appeared in the skit “A Conway Marriage Story"—a clear reference to her new Netflix film, Marriage Story.

For the parody, Johansson played the role of therapist to the divorcing couple, Kellyanne and George Conway, the president’s counselor and her Trump hate-tweeting husband. There, the couple described what they love about each other.

“What I love about Kellyanne: She works so hard for her boss, even though I hate his guts,” George says.

“What I love about George: He actually always tells me what he thinks about me to my face,” Kellyanne answers, as a scene plays where George assures his wife he isn’t mad as her as he subtweets her.

Then came the spin on Marriage Story’s big apartment fight sequence: “You’re not even verified on Twitter! Where’s your blue check, George?!” Kellyanne screamed, causing George to punch a hole in the wall.

Marriage Story debuted on Netflix in November and has since become one of the year's most talked-about films. The Noah Baumbach-directed movie follows the lives of Charlie (Adam Driver) and Nicole (Johannson) as they go through a bitter, coast to coast divorce while raising their only child.
