Scarlett Johansson Opens Up About 'Vulgar' SNL Joke Written by Michael Che

The actress expressed shock and disbelief over a raunchy roast beef joke her husband Colin Jost delivered on-air during SNL's Christmas episode.

The joke, part of SNL's 'Weekend Update' annual joke swap, compared Costco's roast beef sandwich to Johansson's vagina, leaving her visibly shocked backstage.
Johansson described the joke as 'vulgar,' 'gross,' and 'old-school gross,' despite being warned in advance that a 'vagina joke' would be made.
She recounted feeling overwhelmed by the intense backstage setup, with cameras and lights capturing her reaction in real-time.
Her husband, Colin Jost, admitted on The Tonight Show that both he and Johansson were genuinely surprised by the joke's explicit nature.
The couple, married since 2020, reflected on the unexpected intensity of the moment, which Johansson said left her feeling faint.
