Colin Jost's Surprise Reveal

Colin Jost recently opened up about the surprising response his wife, Scarlett Johansson, had to a crude joke he made on "Saturday Night Live." During an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," Jost shared, "I'm in trouble, I think, with a lot of people. Scarlett was genuinely so shocked."

A Comedic Twist

The couple, who first met on the "SNL" set in 2017 and exchanged vows in 2020, are known for their good sense of humor. Jost revealed that the "Black Widow" actress, 40, was caught off guard by the punchline of the joke made by fellow cast member Michael Che. Although the "SNL" team had briefed Johansson about the possibility of a cheeky reference, nothing could prepare her for the bold comedic direction it took.

Backstage Shock

“They were like, 'Hey, would you be okay if Michael [Che] made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?'” Jost recounted. Johansson agreed, thinking it would be lighthearted fun. Unbeknownst to her, the joke spiraled into a hilariously outrageous territory that left her visibly surprised backstage.

Unpredictable Comedy

During the "Weekend Update" segment aired on December 21, 2024, Jost dedicated a joke to Johansson and quickly noted, "No! No! Oh my gosh, she’s so genuinely worried!" As the punchline unfolded, which referenced their son Cosmo, Jost burst into laughter, proving just how unpredictable live comedy can be.

Family Life Humor

In a unique comedic twist, Jost humorously pondered about their family life, saying, “Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from its menu, but I ain’t tripping. I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid." Scarlett's shocked expression became a focal point, showcasing her disbelief as Jost joked about postpartum topics, highlighting their comedic chemistry.

Balancing Comedy and Family

Scarlett Johansson, who just celebrated her 40th birthday, remains a beloved figure in Hollywood, balancing her dazzling career with a growing family. The couple welcomed their son, Cosmo, in 2021 and has been seen supporting one another throughout their endeavors.
