Colin Jost was coaxed into making his wife, Scarlett Johansson, the subject of a joke on ‘SNL’ by his friend Michael Che.
Last night’s ‘SNL’ sketch marked the year-end tradition of the two “Weekend Update” hosts writing unseen jokes for each other to read on stage.
The 2023’s segment, focusing on a new NY law that permits theaters to serve alcohol, was a hit. Jost humorously stated that only alcohol could help him through Johansson’s “little art movies.”
The audience was amused by the joke at the expense of his high-profile spouse.
Despite the edgy joke, Jost smoothly finished Che’s joke, stating, “I’m kidding, honey. I love all of your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better Black widow than Coretta Scott King.”

Adding more humor to the segment, Che invited a fake civil rights activist to sit next to him while Jost delivered the racially sensitive jokes. The humorous interaction drew big laughs from the audience.
Fans should eagerly await ‘SNL’ return in January.
