Scarlett Johansson has admitted how a lot she dreads her husband Colin Jost and his Weekend Update co-host Michael Che‘s widespread Joke Swap section, during which every will get to learn brutal jokes written by the opposite, sight unseen.
Once once more, Jost was made to do jokes about Johansson — and this time, viewers may see her response from backstage. (Jonansson was one in every of a number of members of Saturday Night Live‘s Five-Timers club who showed up in the Cold Open to initiate tonight’s host Martin Short.)
Jost and Che historically humiliate one another within the section however they took that to the subsequent degree this time with a slew of extremely inappropriate jokes as Jost was pressured to learn his “in a Black voice,” beginning with a slavery reparations dig.
The viewers — and Jost — knew a Johansson joke is coming, and when her picture appeared, it was greeted by a mixture of cheers and groans by the viewers and a “why?!” by Jost. Dedicating the road “to my boo, Scarlett Johannson,” he famous that she simply celebrated her fortieth birthday, “which means I’m about to get up outta there!”
There was extra.
“We just had a kid together, and y’all ain’t seen no pictures of him yet — because he Black as hell!”
Johansson’s was seen shacking her head in disbelief backstage. That changed into a shock when a THIRD joke was made at her expense by Jost — and it did was very R-rated.
Referencing Costco’s current choice to take away the roast beef sandwich from its menu, Jost said that he’s been “eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid,” including, “Nah, nah, I’m just playin’ baby, you know I don’t go downtown… That’s gay as hell!” Ouch!
Che didn’t get by way of the joke swap unscathed both.
He attributed the box-office success of Moana 2 to the truth that “like me and my good friend Jeffrey Epstein used to say, there’s nothing like an island adventure with a teenage girl,” earlier than including “I’m just kidding, I would never ever sleep with a girl as dark as Moana.”
By the time Jay-Z’s picture was displayed later within the section, Che was going full “no man, no, no, no.” He did proceed to handle the rape allegations towards each Jay-Z and Diddy, telling the latter that “we’re Bad Boys for life” and that “I’ll say the same thing I always said at your parties: I will help get you off.”

Jonahsson spoke concerning the Joke Swap, which Jost and Che usually do within the Christmas and season finale episodes of SNL, in a July interview.
“We need to go into like, witness protection after that night,” she joked. “Like, I am absolutely terrified we’re gonna be like, targeted. It’s so bad. I black out for that period of the night. I don’t — I actually don’t remember it.”
