Scarlett Johansson has shared her thoughts on her husband Colin Jost’s “brutal” Saturday Night Live joke swap.
If you didn’t know, Colin and his fellow SNL comedian Michael Che sit down for an annual joke swap on the show, during which the pair read out pretty brutal jokes they’ve written for each other without seeing them beforehand.
During the SNL Season 49 finale, which aired back in May, Colin read out a joke about Scarlett, whom he’s been married to since 2020.
The pair are parents to a little boy named Cosmo, while Scarlett also has a child from a previous relationship.
Colin laughed as he read aloud, “Oh God... ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in Her, which I’ve never bothered to watch because without that body, what’s the point of listening.”
Well, during a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Scarlett described the joke as “tame” compared to some of the others that Colin and Michael make.
“That’s like a tame version if you guys have ever seen the joke swap,” Scarlett said.
She continued, “I black out for that period of the night. I actually don’t remember it. As soon as the picture came up, I was like, ‘AHHH.’”
“It is brutal. It is brutal. I feel like every year, it gets worse… It’s just terrible. It’s painful,” she added. “They do it at Christmas, too. It’s like a little gift to each other.”
