Colin Jost Shares Scarlett Johansson Joke in SNL Swap with Michael Che
Colin Jost and Michael Che of “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) upheld their quirky Christmas tradition by exchanging offensive jokes during the Weekend Update segment. This year’s episode introduced a twist, as Che falsely informed Jost about the cancellation of their customary joke swap, leaving Jost as the sole teller of jibes, much to Che’s and the audience’s amusement.
Unexpected Jokes and Reactions
Jost faced the challenge of delivering Che’s harsh jokes, reminiscent of last year’s performance where Che made Jost read jokes about his wife, Scarlett Johansson. This time, as Jost read his first joke, Che could not contain his laughter.
- Jost commenced with a joke regarding U.S. Mint coins, highlighting an unfortunate blind spot in their civil rights representation.
- He shifted to a sensitive topic about a New York church fund for sexual abuse victims, provoking a gasp from the audience.
- In his final punchline, Jost tackled the issue of menopause in the workplace, humorously connecting it to his personal life with Johansson.
Audience Engagement
During the segment, images accompanied Jost’s jokes, creating a visual context that enhanced the comedic effect. One notable moment was when he mentioned Johansson’s experience with hot flashes, adding a personal touch.
As the segment concluded, Jost cheekily referenced Wednesday Addams from Netflix, leaving the audience both entertained and engaged. This unique blend of humor and personal anecdotes continues to define their dynamic on SNL.
