Few aspects of a Saturday Night Live season are more entertaining than Colin Jost and Michael Che’s annual joke swaps. Every year, specifically around the holidays, the two write quips for the other to read on air, with the twist being that neither sees them beforehand. This year’s swap was particularly brutal, as Jost was forced to make some wild remarks about his wife, Scarlett Johansson, who was backstage at the time. Now, on the heels of SNL’s return amid the 2025 TV schedule, Jost is discussing Johansson’s honest reaction.
During that episode, Colin Jost was made to say his jokes in “Black voice” and eventually remarking on how “Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means, I’m about to get up out of there.” He also joked about their son, Cosmo, saying that the public had yet to see a photo of him because he’s “Black as hell.” And, on top of all that, while commenting on Costco apparently removing a roast beef sandwich from its menu, Jost was forced to say “I’ve been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.”
Scarlett Johansson herself even seemed humorously taken aback by those last comments. Just this week, her hubby appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, during which he was asked about the jokes. Fallon specifically asked the Coming 2 America alum if he was in trouble with his wife due to the comments. In the YouTube video, the Weekend Update co-host shared humorously honest thoughts:
I’m in trouble, I think, with a lot of people. Scarlett was genuinely so shocked. … Because I was obviously surprised by everything, but they gave her a heads up. They were like, ‘Hey, would you be OK if Michael made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?’ She was like, ‘Sure, whatever, I’m open to it.’ Then it was like the opposite – I didn’t know where it was going. Then the graphic came up for [Costco]. So Scarlett was backstage like, ‘Oh my god, that’s what it is!’
Colin Jost went on to say that he wasn’t faking his reaction of surprise at all, as he mentioned that he “can’t act that well.” At this point, one would think that Jost may be somewhat used to having to make jokes at his wife’s expense at one time or another. In May 2024, he was tricked into taking a shot at Scarlett Johansson involving a voice assistant inspired by the actress’ own vocals. Joke swaps aside, Weekend Update guests also manage to slide Johansson jokes in via other ways. Check out the latest joke swap below:
At the end of the day, these swaps seem to be done in good fun and don’t involve anything personal. Michael Che goes so hard on those segments because the audience must believe he’s truly trying to embarrass his co-star. Colin Jost has also gotten better at setting Che up for some humorous massive fails as well. As for Scarlett Johansson, she seems to have a good sense of humor and, if we’re being honest, she could unload on Jost if given the chance. (I’m sure she could riff on Jost’s wild Ferry purchase).
There don’t seem to be any joke swaps set for the immediate future, but tune in this weekend Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC as SNL Season 50’s latest host and musical guest will be Timothée Chalamet. You’ll also be able to access the episode using a Peacock subscription.
Scarlett Johansson’s Real Reaction To Being Subjected To Michael Che And Colin Jost’s Dirty Joke SwapRecently, Scarlett Johansson found herself in the hot seat during a hilarious segment on Saturday Night Live, where Michael Che and Colin Jost tried to one-up each other with dirty jokes. The Avengers star was a good sport, but what was her real reaction behind the scenes?
Sources close to Johansson reveal that she was initially taken aback by some of the risqué jokes being thrown her way. However, being the professional that she is, she quickly got into the spirit of the game and even managed to come up with a few zingers of her own.
Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Johansson handled it with grace and humor, proving once again why she is one of Hollywood’s most beloved actresses. And as for Che and Jost, they may have thought they could outwit the Black Widow, but in the end, it was Johansson who stole the show with her quick wit and charm.
So next time you see Scarlett Johansson on SNL, just remember that behind the scenes, she’s a true comedic genius who can hold her own against even the most seasoned jokesters.

#Scarlett #Johanssons #Real #Reaction #Subjected #Michael #Che #Colin #Josts #Dirty #Joke #SwapScarlett Johansson Guns For Permanent ‘Today With Jenna & Friends’ Post On Second Day As Guest Host: “I Love This Job”
Is the search for Jenna Bush Hager’s new co-host already over? Scarlett Johansson seems to hope so.
The actress is killing it as co-host on Today With Jenna & Friends this week. Johansson returned to the daily broadcast Wednesday in good spirits, announcing that she had “the best time” on her first day as a morning talk show host Tuesday (Jan. 21).
“I went to bed last night and I was like, buzzing,” she told Bush Hager. “I was so excited, I like prepared everything for today… I love this job!”
Bush Hager said that she was “delighted” to have Johansson on the show. She spent most of the broadcast gushing over her new co-host, especially when they brought back some of the most popular segments Bush Hager used to do with Hoda Kotb when she was still on the show.
At one point on the episode, Bush Hager even announced that they should just change the show’s name to Today With Jenna & Scarlett.
“Now that you’re a morning television host, I mean, Jenna & Scarlett sounds good. We can just change it,” she said.
“I agree, let’s make it happen!” Johansson giddily responded.

It’s just Johansson’s second day on the job, but it looks like she’s made quite the mark on Bush Hager and NBC. By the end of Wednesday’s episode, Bush Hager announced that she needed a sharpie to scratch out “& Friends” from the show’s title.
Johansson will be guest hosting for the rest of the week. In fact, Thursday’s broadcast will be a family affair as Johansson and Bush Hager will be joined on the show by both of their twin siblings. Today has yet to announce who will be the next guest host to join Bush Hager once Johansson leaves.
While it’s been fun to see Bush Hager co-host with the likes of Keke Palmer and Eva Longoria, the Today host is still searching for a permanent co-host to replace Kotb, her partner in crime, who recently retired from daytime television. But Johansson certainly brings a sunny attitude and quick wit that matches Bush Hager’s hosting style. Could she be the one?
It might come down to a matter of money. At one point on today’s show, Johansson’s husband, Saturday Night Live cast member Colin Jost, joined the duo for a playful debate during which Bush Hager had to rule in favor of Jost. “Scarlett, please do the show with me if we can round up a lot of money,” she pleaded to Johansson after choosing her husband over her.
Today With Jenna & Scarlett certainly does have a nice ring to it. Fingers crossed this works out for Bush Hager!
Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.

Johansson went on to reveal that she is hoping to turn her guest hosting gig into a permanent position. “I would love nothing more than to be a regular fixture on this show,” she said. “I love talking to the guests, sharing stories, and bringing a little bit of Hollywood glamour to morning television.”

#Scarlett #Johansson #Guns #Permanent #Today #Jenna #Friends #Post #Day #Guest #Host #Love #JobInside Scarlett Johansson’s First Day as Jenna Bush Hager’s Guest Co-Host (Exclusive)
Scarlett Johansson is living the dream.
The actress is trying her hand at co-hosting television this week on Jenna & Friends, the fourth hour of the NBC morning staple with Jenna Bush Hager, and the fast friends (and even faster dynamic duo) took PEOPLE along for the ride on Jan. 21.
“It’s a complete dream. I was saying to Jenna earlier, it’s like that thing that I imagined as a 10-year-old: Some day I’m going to be on a daytime show and meet all of these amazing people,” Johansson tells PEOPLE exclusively as she and Bush Hager mingle after the show.
“I mean, it’s a testament to what you guys have all built here that I’ve literally walked down the street and have gotten more traction from guest hosting the Today show than any other project that I’ve done!” she says with a laugh.

The morning started with the hosting pair filming their cold open (in layman’s terms: the show’s intro) around 9:30 a.m. before they briefly parted ways for final touchups. Bush Hager, clad in a black sweater dress and a smile, retreats to her dressing room (which is, indeed, just as tiny as the anchors always joke).
The little room is stuffed with colorful shoes and coats and clothes and of course books, and Bush Hager is equally as funny and charming — chatting casually about the broach she wore on her jacket outside on the plaza earlier that morning — even when there aren’t a million cameras on her.
The in-house PA system then informs Bush Hager she’s got five minutes to air, so while she gets in the zone, everyone heads down to Studio 1A, where anchors Craig Melvin, Al Roker and Dylan Dreyer are wrapping their 3rd Hour,
Producers rib Melvin over his recent PEOPLE cover, asking if autographed copies are going to be his go-to Christmas gift next year, and Dreyer is wonderfully welcoming, complimenting haircuts and outfits as she goes.
The studio team quickly swoops in to change the set over for Bush Hager and Johansson, and Roker, meanwhile, is busy offering up barbecue pizza from the 3rd Hour’s earlier segment (reminder, it is barely 10 a.m. at this point) because that’s just how they roll, he says.
The set never stops moving, not once, over the next hour helmed by Bush Hager and Johansson. Today‘s fourth hour is a well-oiled machine — the result of numerous pros showing up to do their jobs (and reveling in the fun).
“It’s such a good vibe here. I’ve done obviously morning shows and whatever for years and years, publicizing projects I worked on and whatever, [but] it’s always so fun to come on this show,” says Johansson. “And the opportunity to be on this show for an hour and get to know more people at the show? It’s just awesome. It’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, we’re doing a fun thing. This is an upbeat thing.’”
And Johansson is a natural next to Bush Hager — no surprise after learning that hosting morning TV has been a longstanding dream for the actress.
“I told Al I’m coming after his job,” she tells PEOPLE. “You guys, [no] if I ever did weather for the week, it would be bad. ‘It looks cold,’ meanwhile, it’s the hottest weather they’ve ever had,” jokes Johansson.
Bush Hager, however, is quick to shower her guest in compliments.
“She’s so naturally curious. I know that from hanging with her. And she’s a good listener. And that’s part of how you do this job. So I knew she’d be good. Listen, she’s made us all cooler because we cultivated these shows with her in mind,” she says.

As the show wraps, the crew chants “Scar-lett! Scar-lett!” over and over again. The star is visibly flattered.
“They don’t do this on movie sets!” she quips.
The two then say their goodbyes (if only for the remainder of the day before Johansson returns for the following morning) and just like that, she’s off to her next engagement in a schedule that proves to be endlessly packed.
“I love her,” says Bush Hager. “And also, when something ends and you’re starting something new, to have people raise their hands and show up for you, it’s the most gracious, amazing feeling. Truthfully.”
Jenna & Friends airs weekdays at 10:00 a.m ET on NBC.
Inside Scarlett Johansson’s First Day as Jenna Bush Hager’s Guest Co-Host (Exclusive)Scarlett Johansson stepped into a new role on Monday as she made her debut as a guest co-host on the Today show alongside Jenna Bush Hager. The actress, known for her roles in films like “Lost in Translation” and “Avengers,” brought her charm and wit to the morning show, delighting viewers and Hager alike.

#Scarlett #Johanssons #Day #Jenna #Bush #Hagers #Guest #CoHost #ExclusiveColin Jost On Scarlett Johansson’s “Vagina Joke” From ‘SNL’s Joke Swap: “Was Genuinely So Shocked”
Colin Jost says Scarlett Johansson was “genuinely so shocked” over the “vagina joke” on Saturday Night Live.
Jost and his “Weekend Update” co-host Michael Che have made a joke swap tradition by writing jokes for each other.
On the Christmas episode, which aired on December 21, Che wrote a joke about the Avengers star, which Jost read during the live show while Johansson watched backstage.
The Pop Culture Jeopardy host appeared on The Tonight Show, where host Jimmy Fallon asked Jost if he was “in trouble with Scarlett” following the show.
“I’m in trouble, I think, with a lot of people,” Jost told Fallon. “Scarlett was genuinely so shocked.”
Jost revealed that SNL had given Johansson a “heads up” that they would make a crude joke at her expense, which she was game for.
“They were like, ‘Hey, would you be okay if Michael made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?’ She was like, ‘Sure, whatever, I’m open to it.’ I didn’t know where it was going,” Jost told Fallon.
When Jost made the joke, cameras caught Johansson’s shocked face. Jost said his reaction to her reaction was genuine because “I can’t act that well.”
On the Christmas episode, Jost and Che swapped jokes, with Jost making a joke likening Costco’s roast beef sandwich to Johansson’s vagina.
“Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from their menu. But I ain’t tripping. I’ve been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid,” Jost joked.
Relive the SNL joke swap below.
In a recent episode of ‘SNL’s Joke Swap, Colin Jost found himself in the hot seat after being asked to deliver a risqué joke about his fiancée, Scarlett Johansson. The joke in question? A one-liner about Johansson’s “vagina.”During the segment, Jost nervously delivered the joke, which elicited a mix of shock and laughter from the audience. In a recent interview, Jost admitted that he was caught off guard by the joke and was genuinely surprised by the direction it took.
“Scarlett and I have a great sense of humor and we’re always joking around with each other, but I was genuinely so shocked by that joke,” Jost said. “I mean, leave it to ‘SNL’ to push the boundaries, but I definitely did not see that one coming.”
Despite his initial shock, Jost took the joke in stride and praised the writers for their creativity and boldness. “I have to hand it to the writers, they really know how to keep us on our toes,” he said. “And hey, if Scarlett can take a joke like that, then so can I.”
Fans of the couple can rest assured that Jost and Johansson have a solid sense of humor and can laugh off even the most unexpected jokes about their relationship. And who knows, maybe we’ll see more of their playful banter in future ‘SNL’ episodes.

#Colin #Jost #Scarlett #Johanssons #Vagina #Joke #SNLs #Joke #Swap #Genuinely #ShockedColin Jost says Scarlett Johansson was ‘shocked’ by ‘SNL’ vagina joke
Colin Jost is explaining how his wife, Scarlett Johansson, really felt when he joked about her on a recent episode of Saturday Night Live.
It happened when Jost and cohost Michael Che were anchoring the “Weekend Update” segment in the last episode of the year, in which the two tell jokes that were written for them for by the other and that they haven’t seen. As viewers saw on the Dec. 21 episode, this time it referred to Marvel actress Johansson, who Jost married in 2020.
“Scarlett was genuinely so shocked,” Jost told the host on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Because I was obviously surprised about everything, but they gave her a heads up. They were like, ‘Hey, would you be okay if Michael made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?’ And she was like, ‘Sure! You know, whatever. I’m open to it.’”
Watch the full sketch below.
Jost couldn’t help but laugh as he read the words on the air last month. He said that he didn’t mind that roast beef sandwiches had been removed from Costco’s menu, because he’d “been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.”
In the moment, Jost laughed so hard he put his head in his hands. Johansson, who was watching backstage but was shown to the audience, dropped her mouth open.

“So then, when it was like the opposite,” Jost said, “I didn’t know where it was going. And then the graphic came up.”
He continued, “So Scarlett is backstage like, ‘Oh, my God! That’s what it is.”
Jost and Johansson married in 2020 and welcomed a son, Cosmo, in August 2021. (She’s also mom to 10-year-old daughter Rose, whom she shares with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.)

The couple met on one of the occasions when the star of movies including Jojo Rabbit, Lost in Translation, and Ghost World appeared on SNL. She’s hosted an impressive six times, so surely she can take a joke.
Jost, a “Weekend Update” anchor since 2014, agreed with Fallon that his delivery of the funny lines was “a legitimate, live moment” and that he wasn’t acting.
“I can’t act that well,” he deadpanned.
The Jan. 25 episode of SNL will be hosted by Timothée Chalamet, who plays Bob Dylan in the new biopic A Complete Unknown. He will also be the musical guest.
Saturday Night Live airs at Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC.
In a recent interview with Howard Stern, “Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost revealed that his wife, Scarlett Johansson, was “shocked” by a vagina joke he made during a Weekend Update segment.During the interview, Jost explained that he had made a joke about a study that found women are more likely to orgasm if their feet are warm. He then joked that the study was actually funded by Ugg boots.
Johansson, who was in the audience at the time, was reportedly surprised by the joke and asked Jost about it later. Jost said he assured her that it was just a joke and not meant to be taken seriously.
Despite the initial shock, Jost said that Johansson has a great sense of humor and is supportive of his work on “SNL.”
It’s always interesting to get a behind-the-scenes look at the dynamics between Jost and Johansson, and it’s clear that they have a fun and playful relationship.

#Colin #Jost #Scarlett #Johansson #shocked #SNL #vagina #jokeColin Jost Reveals How That Wild Vagina Joke About Wife Scarlett Johansson Went Over
“SNL” star Colin Jost is finally sharing how that racy “Weekend Update” joke in December went over with his wife, Scarlett Johansson, whose vagina he compared on-air to a roast beef sandwich from Costco — to raucous laughter from the audience and himself alike.
“Scarlett was genuinely so shocked,” Jost told Jimmy Fallon on Monday’s “Tonight Show.”
The recurring segment in which Jost and his co-star Michael Che write jokes for each other — and then have to read them aloud no matter what — left Jost as stunned as his wife, who was backstage during the broadcast and reacted with a facial expression for the ages.
“I was obviously surprised by everything, but they gave her a heads-up,” Jost told Fallon. “They were like, ‘Hey, would you be OK if Michael made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?’ And she was like, ‘Sure!’ You know, ‘Whatever, I’m open to it.’”
“I didn’t know where it was going, and then the graphic came up for [Costco],” he continued, prompting audible laughs of recognition from the audience. “So Scarlett is backstage like, ’Oh my God! That’s what it is?!”
The premise of the joke in question concerned Costco removing its roast beef sandwich from its menu, and with an image of the meal appearing onscreen behind Jost, he said at the time: “But I ain’t tripping, I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.”
Jost and Johansson tied the knot in 2020 and welcomed their son, Cosmo, in 2021.

Johansson, who mouthed an apparent “Oh my God” from backstage after Jost delivered the R-rated dig, previously admitted that the joke swaps are “brutal” and get “worse” every year — and joked that she blacks out “for that period of the night” every time.

The Marvel actor nonetheless understands that this is all just comedy, however, and praised her husband on “Live with Kelly and Mark” last year as “a very, very, very great guy.”
“I’m extremely lucky,” Johansson said at the time. “He’s a kind person and he’s hilarious and thoughtful and loving and he’s a great dad and I love him. I feel very, very lucky. But he’s also, he’s got his naughty side. He keeps it interesting.”
Colin Jost, the Saturday Night Live star, recently opened up about the reaction to a controversial joke he made about his wife, Scarlett Johansson, during a stand-up comedy show.During a set at the New York Comedy Club, Jost joked about how his wife’s “wild vagina” was a topic of conversation among his friends. The joke quickly went viral, with many fans and critics questioning the appropriateness of making such a personal and explicit joke about his wife.
In a recent interview, Jost revealed that he had discussed the joke with Johansson before including it in his routine, and that she was supportive of his comedy and understood that it was all in good fun.
Jost also explained that he and Johansson have a strong and trusting relationship, and that they both have a good sense of humor about each other. He emphasized that his comedy is all in good fun and meant to entertain his audience.
While some may find the joke controversial, it seems that Jost and Johansson are able to laugh it off and not take themselves too seriously. It goes to show that even in the world of celebrity relationships, a little humor and understanding can go a long way.

#Colin #Jost #Reveals #Wild #Vagina #Joke #Wife #Scarlett #JohanssonThis Joke Landed Colin Jost In Trouble With Scarlett Johansson
Saturday Night Live comic Colin Jost has admitted he got himself in a spot of trouble with a rather graphic joke at his wife Scarlett Johansson’s expense last month.
For SNL’s annual Christmas episode, Colin and his Weekend Update co-host Michael Che prepared near-the-knuckle jokes for one another to read out live on air, which they were not allowed to see ahead of time.
During Colin’s section, he was given jokes about his Oscar nominee wife to read out – all while she watched on stunned from backstage.
“I want to dedicate this next joke to my boo Scarlett Johnasson,” he read from the prompter, while a “genuinely worried” Scarlett was seen watching on the monitor.
“Hey, boo,” Colin continued. “Y’all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means I’m about to get up out of there.”
Later in the segment, Colin sparked a stunned reaction from Scarlett when he continued with another joke written by his co-host, which we’ll spare you the details of, but it involved comparing a certain part of his wife’s anatomy to a particular meat dish.
Scarlett Johansson backstage at SNL During an interview on Monday’s edition of The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon asked Colin if the quip had landed him “in trouble with Scarlett”, to which he responded: “I’m in trouble, I think, with a lot of people.”
“Scarlett was genuinely so shocked,” he revealed. “I was obviously surprised by everything, but they gave her a heads-up, they were like, ‘hey, would you be OK if Michael made a little kind of vagina joke at some point?’. And she’s like, ‘sure, whatever, I’m open to it’.
“And then [for me] it was the opposite, I didn’t know where it was going, and then the graphic came up…”
Colin and Scarlett have been married for almost five years, and have a son, who was born in August 2021.
She also has a 10-year-old daughter from her previous relationship with ex-fiancé Romain Dauriac.
Colin Jost is known for his witty humor as a writer and cast member on “Saturday Night Live,” but one joke he made recently landed him in hot water with his fiancée, Scarlett Johansson.During a recent appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Jost shared a joke he made about Johansson during a stand-up comedy set. The joke in question was about how Johansson often gets mistaken for other actresses, and Jost quipped, “It’s like [she’s] so beautiful, even the TSA is like, ‘Wait, is this you?’”
While Jost intended the joke to be light-hearted and funny, Johansson reportedly did not find it amusing. Sources close to the couple say that Johansson was upset by the joke and felt that it was disrespectful to her.
Johansson and Jost have been engaged since May 2019 and are known for their playful banter and sense of humor. However, it seems that this particular joke may have crossed a line for Johansson.
Only time will tell if Jost’s joke will have any lasting impact on his relationship with Johansson, but one thing is for sure – it’s always important to think twice before making a joke at your partner’s expense.

“Are you in trouble with Scarlett?” Jimmy Fallon asked Jost on his Monday, Jan. 20, appearance on The Tonight Show.
“I’m in trouble, I think, with a lot of people,” Jost, 42, quipped, noting, “Scarlett was genuinely so shocked.”

He went on to share that while he didn’t get to see the jokes in advance, the SNL team had given his wife a “heads up,” about the R-rated content.
“They were like, ‘Hey, would you be okay if Michael made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?’” Jost shared. “She was like, ‘Sure, whatever, I’m open to it.’ I didn’t know where it was going.”
But things on SNL came to a head when the show flashed an image of a roast beef sandwich from Costco on the screen.
“Scarlett was backstage like, ‘Oh my god, that’s what it is!’” Jost laughed, adding that his response to the whole exchange was genuine. “I can’t act that well.”
