Colin Jost's SNL Scandal

In a recent appearance on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon*, Colin Jost opened up about a scandalous moment that unfolded during a Christmas episode of *Saturday Night Live*, which might have landed him in hot water with his wife, Scarlett Johansson.

The Joke Swap with Michael Che

Jost divulged the details surrounding his annual "joke swap" with cohost Michael Che. During this hilarious segment, both comedians read jokes written for each other without prior knowledge of their content. However, one particular joke took the audience and, more importantly, Johansson, by surprise. After Jost quipped about Costco removing roast beef sandwiches from their menu, he jokingly added, "But I ain't trippin. I've been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid." What followed was a cheeky NSFW punchline from Che, which left Johansson reportedly "genuinely so shocked" as she watched from backstage.

Jost's Response to the Backlash

When asked by Fallon if he was now "in trouble" with Scarlett, Jost humorously admitted, "I think I'm in trouble with a lot of people," emphasizing just how unexpected the joke was for his wife. Despite being forewarned that Che might include a lighthearted "vagina joke," the exact nature of the humor still caught Johansson off-guard.

Johansson's Genuine Reaction

"She was like, 'Sure, whatever, I'm open to it,'" Jost recounted. However, as the graphic of a roast beef sandwich flashed on the screen, she realized the true implication of Che's quip, leading to her stunned reaction, which Jost confirmed was genuine. "I was not. I can't act that well!" he quipped, reinforcing that their interactions were candid and not staged.

Celebrity Relationship Speculations

This incident has sparked considerable conversation among fans and media, intriguing those who follow the celebrity couple's relationship. With Johansson's history of being a strong advocate for women’s rights, some are speculating about how she will respond to the on-air quip. Whether this will lead to playful banter between the couple or a more serious discussion about boundaries remains to be seen.
