SNL Finale: Che Apologizes to Scarlett Johansson

The 50th season finale of Saturday Night Live featured host Scarlett Johansson receiving a live on-air apology from Michael Che for a crude joke he previously wrote about her, which her husband Colin Jost had read during an earlier 'Weekend Update' joke swap. Che admitted he was jealous and added a humorous remark about 'never even seen a human vagina,' as Johansson, who had teased 'retaliation' after the initial joke, joined the segment and hugged Che on set. The show continued the joke swap tradition, with Jost reading jokes urging SNL creator Lorne Michaels to retire, fueling speculation about his potential succession. Johansson and Che publicly settled their comedic feud, ending the season on a reconciliatory note. Fans and commentators praised the segment’s mix of edgy humor and genuine camaraderie among the trio. The finale balanced humor, speculation about the show's future, and cast relationships as the season concluded.
