Los Angeles, Dec 23 (IANS) Comedian Colin Jost may well be in trouble as he may have to do some explaining back home to his wife, Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson after the recent episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’.
On the show’s winter finale on Saturday, Colin Jost and ‘Weekend Update’ co-host Michael Che were forced to read jokes they had never seen before per the show’s biannual tradition, reports ‘People’ magazine.
The prompts are designed to get the comedians in hot water, and this year was no exception, especially when it came to jokes about Scarlett Johansson, 40.
As per ‘People’, the actress, who appeared in the show’s opening monologue, watched the ‘Weekend Update’ segment in real time with a camera trained on her face to capture her reactions as Jost began nervously reading his cue cards.
“Hey boo, y’all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday”, Jost said, while already looking worried about what was to come next.
He further mentioned, “Which means I’m about to get up out of there. Nah, nah. I’m just playing. We just had a kid together, and y’all ain’t see no pictures of him yet ’cause he Black as hell”.
The camera then cut to Johansson, who shook her head while grimacing. Later in the segment, Jost announced that “Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from their menu. But I ain’t tripping, I’d be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid”, before lowering his face in his hands in apparent horror. Johansson looked shocked, mouthing, “Oh my God”, from backstage.
This isn’t the first time Jost has been forced to poke fun at his relationship for the sake of the show. During the season 49 finale in May, Jost looked at the camera during the Weekend Update segment and said, “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”.
The joke was in reference to a high-profile dispute between the actress and OpenAI, which resulted in Johansson threatening legal action against the company.
