Scarlett Johansson On Why “Vulgar” ‘SNL’ Joke “Was Really Gross” & Says Black Widow’s “Natasha Is Dead” But Marvel Fans “Don’t Want To Believe It”

Scarlett Johansson is weighing in on the Saturday Night Live joke from Colin Jost and Michael Che’s annual “joke swap” and says her Marvel character is dead for good.

In a new interview, Johansson reflected on the dirty joke Che wrote for her significant other to read on the NBC late-night sketch show. “It was so vulgar,” Johansson told InStyle. “I just can’t believe that they went there.

I was like—it was so gross. It was really gross. And, like, old-school gross.” On the Christmas episode, Jost and Che swapped jokes, with Jost making a joke likening Costco’s roast beef sandwich to Johansson’s vagina. “Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from their menu.

But I ain’t tripping. I’ve been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid,” Jost joked while Johansson watched the “Weekend Update” segment backstage.
