SNL 50 Finale Features Joke Swap Between Che, Jost, Scarlett Johansson

Saturday Night Live's Season 50 finale featured the traditional 'Weekend Update' joke swap between co-anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost, with host Scarlett Johansson playing a central role. The segment included Che apologizing to Johansson for past tasteless jokes, notably comparing her vagina to Costco roast beef, and joking about his own body and background, with Johansson responding with deadpan humor. Jost and Che exchanged biting jokes targeting each other, SNL creator Lorne Michaels, and current pop culture topics, continuing their long-standing comedic rivalry. The joke swap was highlighted by sharp humor and personal jabs, including Che's call for Michaels to retire and Jost's playful attempts to take over the show. Johansson's involvement added a fresh dynamic, especially given her previous teasing about revenge for the December 2024 joke swap where she had been the subject of harsh jokes. Overall, the finale's joke swap balanced edgy humor with a unique chemistry among the cast and host, maintaining the tradition's reputation for brutal yet entertaining banter.
