Scarlett Johansson Reveals The 1 'SNL' Joke By Colin Jost That Made Her 'Black Out'
HuffPost
The "Her" star visibly cringed while rewatching the clip and said she truly couldn't remember it — because she "completely hit the deck" when it aired.
Scarlett Johansson can’t handle her husband’s annual joke swaps on “Saturday Night Live.”
The “Black Widow” star has been married to comedian Colin Jost for four years now and, while she enjoys watching him blindly read offensive jokes written by “Weekend Update” co-host Michael Che, one crack during the season finale in May purportedly made her “black out.”
With a smiling picture of his wife behind him, Jost bravely joked: “ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in ‘Her,’ which I’ve never bothered to watch because without that body, what’s the point of listening?”
Johansson visibly cringed Thursday when the clip came up on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
“And that’s like a tame version,” Johansson revealed, “if you guys have ever seen the joke swap. … We need to go into, like, witness protection after that night. Like, I am absolutely terrified we’re going to be targeted, it’s so bad. I black out for that period of the night.”
