Scarlett Johansson can’t handle her husband’s annual joke swaps on “ Saturday Night Live .” The “ Black Widow ” star has been married to comedian Colin Jost for four years now and, while she enjoys watching him blindly read offensive jokes written by “ Weekend Update ” co-host Michael Che , one crack during the season finale in May purportedly made her “black out.” With a smiling picture of his wife 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 came 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, but the segment itself has long become a fan-favorite of casual “ SNL ” viewers.
The premise inherently encourages Jost and Che to write the most hilarious offensive jokes, after all. Johansson has been a subject of this tradition before,.
