Colin Jost Reads Wild Jokes About Wife Scarlett Johansson And Her Reactions Say It All
HuffPost
The "Weekend Update" host admitted he was "genuinely worried" as the actor watched her husband read shocking jokes fed to him by co-host Michael Che.
“Weekend Update” host Colin Jost gave his apologies in advance as he was tasked with using a “Black voice” to read never-before-seen, wild jokes written by co-host Michael Che in a return of their joke swap tradition on Saturday.
And it got even more awkward for Jost as his wife Scarlett Johansson, who appeared in the show’s cold open earlier in the night, watched as he told Che’s quips involving her on live TV.
“Why?” asked Jost, who awkwardly smiled as a graphic of his wife appeared on the screen before he “dedicated” the joke to his “boo.”
The broadcast flipped to a shot of Johansson, who disapprovingly shook her head as she held a glass of water before the cameras turned to her watching her husband on a TV backstage.
“No, oh my gosh, she’s so genuinely worried,” said Jost as he watched her reaction.
