‘SNL’ Weekend Update: Colin Jost Trolls Scarlett Johansson’s ‘Black Widow’ Via Michael Che-Written Joke

deadline.com:

Colin Jost and Michael Che were back at it again on Saturday Night Live and wrote jokes for each other in what’s become an annual tradition.

This time, Che made it a little more difficult for Jost as he introduced “someone very special who was last on this show, Season 3, 46 years ago.” “Poet, author, activist… Please welcome Dr.

Hattie Davis, ladies and gentlemen,” Che said. Jost knew he was going to have a more difficult time reading the jokes Che wrote for him in front of Davis, but nonetheless, he was a trooper along the way.

However, the most cringeworthy part of the joke came after when Jost read, “I’m kidding, honey. I love all of your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better black widow than Coretta Scott King.” RELATED: ‘SNL’ Cold Open Hits A Comedic Snowbank With Christmas Awards & No Giuliani From Kate McKinnon This last zinger prompted the reaction of Davis in disapproval of the joke.
