Scarlett Johansson has admitted that the “vulgar” and “gross” jokes made about her on Saturday Night time Stay’s 2024 Christmas episode left her feeling “faint.”
In the course of the present’s December vacation version, Johansson’s husband, SNL star Colin Jost, and his co-anchor Michael Che, hosted their annual “joke exchange” as part of their popular “Weekend Update” segment.
The tradition involves both men finding new ways to embarrass the other as they read jokes their comedy partner has written, which they had never seen before.
In the sketch, Jost was made to read several jokes that took aim at Johannson’s age, their baby and their sex life.
The most brutal joke, however, came at the end of the segment. “Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from its menu, but I ain’t tripping,” Jost began. “I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.”
The cameras quickly switched to show Johannson, 40, watching from a screen backstage in complete shock. “Oh my god!” she said through laughs. “Holy s***.”
Finishing the gag, Jost said: “Naw, I’m just playing, baby. You know I don’t go downtown.”
Reflecting on the jaw-dropping moment in a new interview with InStyle, Johannson said: “It was so vulgar. I simply cannot imagine that they went there. I used to be like — it was so gross. It was actually gross. And, like, old-school gross.”
Whereas the Black Widow star stated she had been warned {that a} “vagina joke” was going to be made, she didn’t understand it was going to be at her expense.
“I used to be like, ‘I imply, it is a vagina joke, how dangerous might it’s?’ After which as quickly because the Costco photograph got here up, I used to be like, No! No, Michael!’” she remembered.

“They had been ready for me to react. I felt insane,” Johannson added of the backstage cameras. “I used to be like, ‘I believe I’ll faint.’”
“The truth that it took on a full To Catch a Predator-type reveal or no matter,” she continued, “that was so intense. Unexpectedly, it was like a complete bunch of individuals holding up lights, and a man with a video digicam.”
Elsewhere within the “Weekend Replace” phase, Jost cracked a joke about their three-year-old son, Cosmo, whom they welcomed collectively in 2021.
Johansson, who has been married to Jost since 2020, can also be a mom to daughter Rose, 10, with whom she shares together with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
