'Oh My God': Scarlett Johansson Reacts to Colin Jost's Extremely Dirty Jokes About Her on This Week's SNL

Colin Jost may have some explaining to do to wife Scarlett Johansson after the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live.

On the show's winter finale on Saturday, Dec. 21, Jost, 42, and Weekend Update co-host Michael Che were forced to read jokes they had never seen before — per the show’s biannual tradition. The prompts are designed to get the comedians in hot water, and this year was no exception — especially when it came to jokes about Johansson, 40.

The actress, who appeared in the show’s opening monologue, watched the Weekend Update segment in real time with a camera trained on her face to capture her reactions as Jost began nervously reading his cue cards.

The joke was in reference to a high-profile dispute between the actress and OpenAI, which resulted in Johansson threatening legal action against the company.
