Scarlett Johansson cringes as Colin Jost is forced to joke about marriage on ‘SNL’

Despite the constant feeling of fear, “Saturday night live” star Colin Jost has probably gotten used to telling merciless jokes about his wife Scarlett Johansson in the annual joke exchange in which he and “Weekend Update” co-host Michael Che recite jokes they wrote to each other during the show’s news segment — allegedly without seeing them in advance.

What Jost may not have been prepared for this year was Johansson’s presence backstage, as she was forced to watch her husband perform the punches in real time, while the camera interrupted the pair. The actress appeared on “SNL” to welcome host Martin Short to the prestigious Five-Timers club, which she joined in 2017. However, before he started making jokes about his wife, Jost read racist jokes written for him by Che , as happened in past years.

“Time out. Before we do this, I know Michael is going to make me tell some racist jokes like he always does,” He has just started. “This time, if you don’t mind, I’d like to read all the jokes in The Black Voice so I don’t get in trouble.”

“Well excuse me in advance,” he told the crowd before telling a joke about the vice president Kamala Harris and reparations for slavery. “You all know my girlfriend Kamala Harris held the town hall she was talking about [how] she still supports the idea of ​​reparations for slavery. Well, dammit, girl. Me too. Because the white people deserve our money back for all those slaves that ran away,” he said, visibly horrified at the remark. “Shiz. I’m not afraid of you, mafia,” Jost read with a laugh.

The next joke focused on Jost’s wife, but he continued to speak in a “negro voice” throughout the segment.

“I want to dedicate this next joke to my boo, Scarlett Johansson,” Jost said. The camera then cuts to Johansson backstage watching the footage. Holding her drink, Johansson winced as she braced herself for the inevitable.

“No! Oh my god, she’s so genuinely concerned,” Jost said before cracking the joke. “Hey boo. You all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday. Which means I’m about to get out of there.”

“Why?” Johansson could be heard speaking when the camera cut her off. “Shiz,” Jost continued hysterically. “No, no. I’m just playing. We just had a child together and you haven’t seen pictures of him yet because he’s black as hell,” he said, referring to the couple’s son, Cosmo. “Shiz. I’m not afraid of you mofos,” he repeated.

“Oh—,” Johansson said, as the camera was focused on her, taking a sip of her drink.

Last year, Jost was forced to joke about his wife’s acting ability. “New York State now allows the sale of alcohol in movie theaters,” Jost read. “So I can finally enjoy my wife’s little art films,” he said as a picture of Johansson in the Marvel film “Black widow” appeared on the screen. “Just kidding, honey. I love all your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better ‘Black Widow’ than Coretta Scott King,” he said while convulsing.

Five months ago, Johansson admitted on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” that watching the segment was difficult. “It’s so bad. I black out for that part of the night,” she joked. “I actually don’t remember it.”

“It’s brutal. I feel like every year it gets worse. It’s just horrible.”

The couple has been married since 2020 after reuniting during a 2017 episode of the comedy sketch show.
