Scarlett Johansson's Hilarious 'SNL' Joke Blackout Moment Revealed!
Scarlett Johansson recently spilled the beans on a hilarious moment that left her in stitches during husband Colin Jost's 'Saturday Night Live' joke swap segment. The actress confessed to Kelly Clarkson that she completely 'blacked out' upon seeing her own photo featured in the comedic routine.
Known for being the target of Jost's jokes during this annual segment, Johansson humorously admitted, "That's like a tame version if you guys have ever seen the jokes." She went on to reveal, "As soon as they showed my picture, I β I actually don't remember that segment. I fully blacked out."
During the Season 49 finale of 'SNL,' Jost and his co-host Michael Che engaged in their traditional joke swap, where they craft outrageous jokes for each other to deliver live. Jost kicked off the banter by referencing a new voice assistant feature inspired by Johansson's AI character in 'Her.'
With a mischievous grin, Jost quipped, "Which I've never bothered to watch, because without that body, what's the point of listening?" The unexpected punchline left the audience in stitches.
Johansson, in her chat with Clarkson, expressed her dread for the segment, stating, "It is brutal, I feel like every year it gets worse. We need to, like, go into witness protection that night. Like, I am absolutely terrified we're gonna be targeted. It's so bad."
This isn't the first time Jost has playfully poked fun at his wife. During a Christmas joke swap, he delivered a zinger comparing Johansson to civil rights icon Coretta Scott King, eliciting laughter and faux outrage.
Johansson and Jost, who tied the knot in 2020, continue to entertain fans with their playful banter and shared sense of humor.
