Colin Jost was forced to joke about his marriage to Scarlett Johansson during the 'Weekend Update' portion of 'Saturday Night Live' while she looked on.
Despite a recurring sense of dread, 'Saturday Night Live' star Colin Jost has likely become accustomed to telling merciless jokes at his wife Scarlett Johansson's expense in the annual joke swap in which he and 'Weekend Update' co-anchor Michael Che recite jokes they have written for each other during the show's news segment – supposedly without seeing them in advance.
No! Oh my god, she's so genuinely worried,' Jost said, before delivering the joke. 'Hey boo. Y'all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday. Which means I'm about to get up out of there.' 'Why?' Johansson could be heard saying when the camera cut back on her. 'Shiz,' Jost continued, in hysterics. 'Nah, nah. I'm just playin'.
Last year, Jost was forced to joke about his wife's acting prowess. 'New York State now allows movie theaters to sell alcohol,' Jost read. 'Which is how I’m finally able to enjoy my wife’s little art movies,' he said as a picture of Johansson in the Marvel film 'Black Widow' appeared on the screen. '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,' he said while cringing.
