Scarlett Johansson can’t deal with her husband’s annual joke swaps on “Saturday Night Live.”
The “Black Widow” star has been married to comic Colin Jost for 4 years now and, whereas she enjoys watching him blindly learn offensive jokes written by “Weekend Update” co-host Michael Che, one crack throughout the season finale in Could purportedly made her “black out.”
With a smiling image of his spouse behind him, Jost bravely joked: “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?”
Johansson visibly cringed Thursday when the clip got here up on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
“And that’s like a tame version,” Johansson revealed, “if you guys have ever seen the joke swap. … We need to go into, like, witness protection after that night. Like, I am absolutely terrified we’re going to be targeted, it’s so bad. I black out for that period of the night.”
“I actually don’t remember it,” she added. “As soon as the picture came up, I was like, ‘Ah!’”
The Oscar-nominated actor was understandably embarrassed by the cringe-inducing crack, however the section itself has lengthy grow to be a fan-favorite of informal “SNL” viewers. The premise inherently encourages Jost and Che to write down essentially the most hilarious offensive jokes, in spite of everything.
Johansson has been a topic of this custom earlier than, most notably in December.

Jost was famously compelled to mock his spouse’s filmography on the time in Che’s pre-written joke, which appeared to finish flippantly with, “I’m kidding honey, I love all your movies,” earlier than he added: “If you ask me, you’re an even better Black Widow than Coretta Scott King.”
Although the “Her” joke was arguably far much less egregious, Johansson mentioned Thursday that she “completely hit the deck” upon listening to it. She went on to notice that Jost’s and Che’s jokes are “like a little gift to each other,” earlier than reiterating simply how anxious they make her.
“It is brutal,” Johansson advised Clarkson. “I feel like every year it gets worse. It’s just terrible.”
