Overview

• Scarlett Johansson made a surprise appearance backstage during SNL's Christmas episode, watching as her husband Colin Jost participated in the show's annual joke swap segment with co-anchor Michael Che.
• Jost delivered jokes written by Che, including quips about Johansson's age, their child, and their relationship, which were met with a mix of laughter and visible shock from Johansson.
• The segment included a controversial twist where Jost read the jokes in a 'Black voice,' as dictated by Che, adding another layer of tension and humor to the exchange.
• Johansson's live reactions, captured on camera, ranged from nervous laughter to disbelief, particularly during a vulgar innuendo about her postpartum recovery.
• The joke swap, a longstanding SNL tradition, has often put Jost in awkward positions, but this year's inclusion of Johansson's live reactions elevated the comedic and personal stakes.
