If you have seen SNL you know that Colin Jost and Michael Che always take their annual joke swap on the season finale to the extreme– especially with jokes about the 42-year-old comedian’s wife Scarlett Johansson.
Season 49’s final episode aired in May 2024, and the duo jabbed at each other with offensive jokes during a segment of “Weekend Update”. They usually write each other jokes, and the 41-year-old wrote Colin a joke about the 39-year-old actress’ body.
“Oh god…Chat GPT 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,” Colin read out loud as he chuckled.
The duo – that tied the knot back in 2020 and welcomed a child, Cosmo in 2021, always mentally prepare themselves for this SNL segment each year. The Black Widow actress revealed during an interview with Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show, “That’s like a tame version if you guys have ever seen the joke swap… I black out for that period of the night, I actually don’t remember it. As soon as the picture came up I was like AHHH.
“It is brutal. It is brutal. I feel like every year it gets worse…It’s just terrible. It’s painful” she continued. “They do it at Christimas too, it’s like a little gift to each other.”
