Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost Retaliate Against Michael Che for Vulgar Joke on ‘Saturday Night Live’

Scarlett Johansson’s Sweet Revenge on Michael Che

It seemed like a typical Saturday night until news broke out about the latest antics on Saturday Night Live. Scarlett Johansson, renowned for her roles and memorable appearances, finally had her moment of revenge against Michael Che. This long-awaited payback was prompted by a crude joke from the ‘Weekend Update’ segment during the show’s season 50 finale.

The evening wrapped up another season with Che and Colin Jost, Johansson’s husband, engaging in their usual ‘Joke Swap’. It’s this segment where each tries to outdo the other by writing the most embarrassing jokes possible. It’s a mix of humor and humiliation that keeps fans eagerly watching. During Saturday’s episode, Che took the chance to make amends with Johansson, who was guest hosting. Apologizing for a tasteless joke he penned in December about Jost comparing Scarlett to “roast beef,” Che added a touch of self-deprecation. “I’ve never ever seen a human vagina,” he quipped, recalling a peculiar summer spent on a farm.

The jokes didn’t stop there. Che jested about his own insecurities, mentioning how he keeps his hoodie on during intimate moments because he has “more nipples than a pregnant dog.” Amidst the laughter, he confessed his appreciation for Jost with those three famous words: “I love you.” The humor was shared all around, but Jost wasn’t off the hook either. He faced his moment of embarrassment too – applying lipstick and declaring to executive producer Lorne Michaels his desperation to helm the show in Michaels’ future absence.

As if planned for maximum effect, Jost later presented Scarlett with flowers. They shared a genuine kiss in the closing segment, warming the hearts of viewers everywhere. Scarlett’s presence was woven throughout season 50, often being at the center of some particularly raunchy jokes on ‘Weekend Update’. Reflecting on one incident involving roast beef, she recalled feeling grossed out – “like, old-school gross.”

She had been forewarned that Che would target her again but underestimated just how far he’d go. “It’s a vagina joke, how bad could it be?” she thought at first. But when visuals of Costco’s roast beef were displayed, she was caught off guard. Her reaction was one of surprise and disbelief as cameras focused intently on her response.

When it was announced that Scarlett would host the season finale, whispers of potential retaliation circulated. She hinted to Vanity Fair that retribution was on her mind. “Retaliation should be expected,” she teased, inviting speculation about what was to come. It seems those hints were more than just playful banter.

This playful back-and-forth marked a fitting close to SNL’s season 50, full of unexpected twists and genuine laughs. As fans eagerly anticipate what’s next for the beloved series when it returns for its 51st season this fall, they can look back fondly at these moments of comedy gold (source: Vanity Fair). It’s times like these when life mirrors entertainment and gives us all something to chuckle about – perhaps even relate to – in our everyday lives.
