Scarlett Johansson had a visceral reaction to Colin Jost’s explicit jokes about her on Saturday Night Live

Colin Jost might regret his latest ‘joke exchange’ with Michael Che on Saturday evening live.

On Dec. 21, Scarlett Johansson spent the evening watching her husband make jokes at her expense as part of a “Weekend Update” tradition. During these joke exchanges, the co-hosts read jokes written by the other without notice or approval. “I know Michael is going to make me tell racist jokes, like he always does,” Jost prepared the audience, although he should also have expected Che to write several articles about his famous wife.

“I want to dedicate this next joke to my sweetheart, Scarlett Johansson,” Jost read before the cameras cut to the Marvel actor, who was watching the show outside the studio. “She’s really worried,” he noted. Hmm…I wonder why?

“Hey, boo. You all know Scarlett just turned 40, which means I’m about to get out of here,” Jost began reluctantly. “No, I’m just playing.” We just had a child together, and you don’t see pictures of him yet because he’s black as hell.

Johansson and Jost have been married since 2020 and welcomed their son, Cosmo, in 2021. Black widow The star also shares a 10-year-old daughter, Rose Dorothy, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.

Although this first joke elicited a few nods and an “oh shit” from Johansson, it pales in comparison to Jost’s next sentence. Honestly, I don’t even feel comfortable writing the series of jokes, which involved roast beef sandwiches and oral sex… Just know that this was Johansson’s immediate reaction:

“Oh my God!” Johansson exclaimed, before appearing to add: “Holy shit!”

Without a doubt, Saturday evening live had a huge impact on Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s relationship. “I just want to say that this place means so much to me,” she said during her sixth concert in 2019. “I have so many friends here and I met the love of my life here. “
