Scarlett Johansson Reveals Her Plan for Revenge on Husband Colin Jost Over That 'SNL' Joke
A few months ago, in December 2024, Colin Jost and Michael Che ruffled some feathers during their signature joke swap on Saturday Night Live. Now, Jost's wife Scarlett Johansson wants revenge To understand it all, let's backtrack a bit. In the Christmas joke swap, Jost read out one of Che's jokes for him, and it was, without a doubt, extremely inappropriate. More from SheKnows Scarlett Johansson's Career Decision May Show a Secret Feud Between Ex-Husband Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively 'Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from its menu, but I ain't trippin',' he said. 'I've been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.' Not only did the audience immediately clock that the joke was a dig at Johansson, who shares 3-year-old son Cosmo with Jost, but the camera panned right to her. As it turns out, Johansson was behind the scenes and was as shocked as the viewers by the joke. 'I had all these cameras on me,' she remembered in a new interview with Vanity Fair. 'I didn't expect the setup to be like that.' 'I was like, 'Wow, you really are seventh-, eighth-grade boys,'' she added. Johansson and Jost have been married since 2020. Fast-forward a few months, Johansson will be hosting Saturday Night Live this Saturday, and has a plan in mind. 'I feel like it's almost my responsibility to come up with some way to burn Michael back,' she said. 'Retaliation, I'd say, should be expected. Others on the show could support this desire. Know what I mean?' So far, the promo for this week's SNL episode made a dig at only Jost. In the video, Johansson is running from something unknown when Jost comes up to her and shares an idea. 'Hey, babe, I had a sketch idea I wanted to pitch you,' he said. 'Maybe it's one where we, I don't know, finally kiss?' Johansson then screams in response, 'No!'

Scarlett Johansson Packed on PDA With Husband Colin Jost Before Their Showstopping Cannes Red Carpet
Love is in the air at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival! After Jennifer Lawrence packed on PDA with her husband Cooke Maroney at the premiere of Die, My Love on May 17, Scarlett Johansson is getting some loving support too. Right before the screening of her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, Johansson laughed and shared a sweet peck with her husband, Colin Jost. More from SheKnows Josh Duhamel Got Candid About His 21-Year Age Gap With Wife Audra Mari Johansson's new movie, which hits theaters on May 23, follows 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein (June Squibb) as she leaves her apartment in Florida after her best friend, Bessie (Rita Zohar), passes away.

According to Variety, Johansson's first time in the director's seat earned her a five-minute standing ovation. 'When you make a film that's an independent film like this, no one's doing it for the money — surprise, surprise,' Johansson said in her introduction. 'Really, everyone that came together for this film came together because they loved the story, the script so much.' 'It's a film about many things: it's about friendship, it's about grief, it's about forgiveness,' she continued. 'And I think those are all themes that we can use a lot more of these days.' A few hours after the screening, Johansson and Jost attended the red carpet premiere of Vie Privée (Private Life). On the carpet, Weekend Update star rocked a classic double-breasted tux while Johansson wore a flowy lavender Prada dress paired with statement red lips. She also wore dangling De Beers diamond earrings, a matching bracelet, and her hair up into a bun. Prior to Cannes, Johansson joined Jost at work as the last Saturday Night Live host of season 50.

'SNL' Weekend Update Joke Swap Hailed: 'Wild'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Saturday Night Live's (SNL) 50th season finale aired this weekend, and to the delight of fans, it included the traditional joke swap between co-anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost during the show's "Weekend Update" segment. Why It Matters For the past few seasons, Che and Jost swap and read jokes that the other person has never seen before during the show's Christmas episode and season finale. SNL's 50th season has had plenty of viral moments and star-studded episodes, which have caused a stir online. In February, SNL aired its 50th anniversary special, which ran for more than two hours and featured some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Paul McCartney and Tom Hanks. What To Know As of press time, the clip of the joke swap has amassed nearly 5 million views combined on YouTube and on X, formerly Twitter. The first joke took aim at creator/executive producer Lorne Michaels, with Jost saying: "It's SNL's 50th season, so I want to take a moment to say something to our boss, Lorne Michaels. Lorne, retire b****! Let me run the show." Following tradition for the segment, the majority of jokes given to Jost by Che saw him say things that were racist, while Che was given material that makes him look like a misogynist. The segment saw Che atone for a joke he wrote about actress Scarlett Johansson during this season's Christmas joke swap. Johansson, who was the episode's host, is married to Jost. The couple also have a son together. The Christmas episode saw Jost read the following joke: "Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from its menu. But I ain't trippin'. I've been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid." The camera panned to a jaw-dropped Johansson, who later told the outlet InStyle that the joke was "vulgar" and "so gross." On Saturday's finale episode, reading off the cue cards, Che said: "Before I tell another joke, I want to take this opportunity to apologize to someone I hurt. Scarlett, can you come out here?" Johansson then walked out, and Che read his Jost-written apology to her, where he said that he was "just lashing out because I'm jealous." The joke swap also referenced A Minecraft Movie and Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl half time show. Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost attend "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" at Rockefeller Plaza on February 16 in New York.

X user eliejow wrote: "joke swap so good they renewed their contracts for 10 years." X user positionsmafiaa posted: "che and jost will go down as the best anchor duos in SNL history."
