Scarlett Johansson Calls Husband Colin Jost's ‘SNL’ Joke ‘So Vulgar’

Scarlett Johansson was shocked by a vulgar joke her husband Colin Jost read on Saturday Night Live, which involved a reference to her and was written by his co-host Michael Che. During the 'Weekend Update' segment's annual joke swap, Jost delivered a quip about Costco's roast beef sandwich, implying a connection to his wife, which left Johansson stunned backstage. She described the joke as 'so vulgar' and 'old-school gross,' adding that the real-time filming of her reaction intensified the experience. Johansson was forewarned about a 'vagina joke' but was not prepared for its explicit nature. Despite the shock, she found humor in the situation, acknowledging the comedic nature of the show, but was surprised by the level of exposure and the camera setup capturing her candid reaction. Jost mentioned on The Tonight Show that he did not foresee the joke's impact, while Johansson maintained that the experience, though intense, was ultimately funny.
