Colin Jost roasts his wife Scarlett Johansson on SNL

It is the most wonderful time of the year, and Saturday Night Live celebrated with their proudest tradition of this current era of Weekend Update: the Colin Jost and Michael Che joke swap, in which they write material for each other and make each other ‘read jokes’ live that the other person has never seen before ”. For the most part, this resulted in two minutes of Che making Jost say racist things and Jost making Che say sexually sketchy things. But for the closer, Che asked Jost to roast his very famous wife, Scarlett Johansson, who has come under fire for defending his acting right to play Asian characters and transmasc characters and trees. The setup begins innocently: “It has been announced that Creed frontman Scott Stapp will play Frank Sinatra in an upcoming movie,” reads before the twist. “But the good news is that Sammy Davis Jr. will be played by Scarlett Johansson.” Jost shakes his head and puts his face in his hands, a defeated husband. He will have a lot of explanations for his angry tree wife.
