Colin Jost tricked into joking about wife Scarlett Johansson during SNL's weekend update joke swap

Colin Jost, who has been hosting Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update for a long time, recently found himself once again participating in a joke exchange with his co-host Michael Che during the season 49 finale on May 18. In this segment, Jost and Che write offensive jokes for each other to read live on air without prior knowledge of the content. During this particular exchange, Che decided to play a prank on Jost by making him take a playful jab at his wife, Scarlett Johansson.

Colin Jost, the host of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, recently mentioned that ChatGBT has introduced a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson's AI character in the movie Her. He humorously commented that he hadn't watched the movie because, without Scarlett Johansson's physical presence, he didn't see the point of just listening.

During the segment, Jost and Che exchanged jokes, with Che making references to texting minors, random acts of violence against women in New York City, and playfully inserting himself into the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Che even jokingly called out Kendrick Lamar as the "biggest bitch" and challenged him to a war with Michael Che.

It's worth noting that Jost often incorporates jokes about his wife, Scarlett Johansson, into his routines. At the White House Correspondents' Dinner, he made references to her and playfully invited the attendees to meet her individually after the event. Jost's humor is known for its lighthearted and playful nature, often poking fun at himself and others in a comedic manner.
