Scarlett Johansson made an appearance on the latest episode of US show 'Saturday Night Live', where she had to listen to her husband, Colin Jost, make jokes about her age, their child and their sex life.
A couple merging love and humor. Like every year, during the Christmas edition of “Saturday Night Live”, presenters Colin Jost and Michael Che did their traditional “joke exchange”, where they have to read jokes written by their partner without having seen them before . “I want to dedicate this next joke to my sweetheart, Scarlett Johansson. Oh my God, she’s really worried,” said the actress’ companion, as she appeared backstage looking at her.
“Hey boo, you all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means I'm about to leave here!” he added, while his partner grimaced in front of the screen . The host then continued: “No no, I’m just kidding! We just had a child together, and you haven't seen any pictures of him yet because he's as black as hell,” he added of their three-year-old son, suggesting that the child is actually that of his co-star, with a photoshopped image of the couple and their son.
Scarlett Johansson, her husband's favorite target
A little later, Colin Jost announced: “[L’entreprise américaine de grande distribution] Costco removed its roast beef sandwich from its menu,” then adding, “But I don’t worry, I’ve been eating roast beef every night since my wife had a baby,” which provoked a burst of laughter general. Scarlett Johansson appeared genuinely shocked, exclaiming: “Oh my God.”
This is not the first time that the presenter has made fun of his relationship for the sake of the sketch. On the occasion of the last broadcast of season 49 in May, Michael Che had him say during a previous exchange of jokes: “ChatGPT released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson's AI character in ' Her'. Which I never bothered to look at, because without this body, what’s the point of listening.” This joke referred to a publicized conflict between the actress and the company OpenIA, which led Scarlett Johansson to threaten them with legal action.
A couple for seven years, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost married in 2020. They welcomed their son Cosmo the following year. The actress is also the mother of Rose Dorothy, 10 years old, from a previous marriage to Romain Dauriac.
