Yahoo Lifestyle Here's How Scarlett Johansson Reacted To Her Husband Colin Jost's Jaw-Dropping Dirty Joke About Her On “Saturday Night Live”
If you’ve seen Saturday Night Live, you’ll definitely be aware of Colin Jost and Michael Che’s hilarious joke swap segment.
The segment sees the comedians taking turns reading a series of jokes they’ve written for each other.
Of course, the jokes are pretty brutal. Back in May, Colin memorably read out a joke about Scarlett Johansson, whom he’s been married to since 2020: “ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in Her, which I’ve never bothered to watch because without that body, what’s the point of listening.”
During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show months later, Scarlett said that while the segment is “brutal,” that joke was actually “tame” compared to some of Colin and Michael’s others.
“It is brutal. It is brutal. I feel like every year, it gets worse… It’s just terrible. It’s painful,” she said. “They do it at Christmas, too. It’s like a little gift to each other.”
Lo and behold, the long-awaited SNL Christmas joke swap aired this weekend, and it featured yet another joke about Scarlett — who, this time, was present backstage and filmed reacting to the whole thing in real time.
Colin began, “I wanna dedicate this next joke to my boo, Scarlett Johansson.” Scarlett was filmed bracing herself backstage as the audience cheered, while Colin joked that he was “genuinely worried” about what was to come.
He then read, “Y’all know that Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means I’m about to get up outta there!”
“Nah, nah. I’m just playing,” Colin went on. “We just had a kid together, and y’all ain’t see no pictures of him yet ’cause he Black as hell.”
Scarlett shook her head and grimaced backstage as the audience burst out laughing.
Later on, Colin made another joke about his wife as he read, “Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from their menu. But I ain’t tripping, I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.”
Colin immediately held his head in his hands, while Scarlett could not hide her shock at the dirty joke. “Oh my God!” she mouthed.
Reacting to the video, several SNL fans thanked Scarlett for being a “great sport” as they commented on how "brutal" the jokes were.
“having ScarJo there just made it 100x better,” one comment read. “Super cool of Scarlett to be such a great sport. She's a real one!” someone wrote.
“I’ve wanted to see Scarlett react to these for years. Thank you whoever at SNL was like ‘no stay and watch,’” another user commented.
“Scarlett being there... Damn, that was brutal,” someone said, while another added, “Scarlett just out here catching strays.”
“This isn't just the most brutal Joke Swap, this is the most brutal bit that's ever aired on SNL,” one more user wrote.
Welp! You can watch the segment for yourself right here.
