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.

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.
