Colin Jost reveals wife Scarlett Johansson’s real reaction to crude ‘SNL’ joke: ‘I’m in trouble’
crude jokes read aloud by her husband during his and Michael Che’s “Weekend Update” segment on “Saturday Night Live.”For the pair’s joke swap skit, Jost, 42, was forced to read Che’s absurd quips about Johansson — including one where Jost said he’s “eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid” — as the actress watched from backstage in shock.On Monday, Jost appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and revealed how Johansson really felt about the jokes.“I’m in trouble I think with a lot of people,” he said. “Scarlett was genuinely so shocked.”Fallon, 50, noted that Johansson’s “reactions were unbelievable” when she watched her own husband tell the dirty jokes at his workplace.Jost explained that while he was “obviously surprised” that Che forced him to go after his wife, the show warned Johansson ahead of time.“They were like, ‘Hey, would you be okay if Michael made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?’ She was like, ‘Sure, whatever, I’m open to it,'” Jost recalled.“I didn’t know where it was going, and then the graphic came up for Arby’s,” the comedian continued.
