After Admitting She ‘Blacks Out’ When Colin Jost Is Forced To Read SNL Jokes About Her, Scarlett Johansson Reveals Where Her Relationship With Michael Che Is At

As a devoted fan of Saturday Night Live (SNL), I can’t help but be intrigued by the unique tradition between Colin Jost and Michael Che during season finales and holiday episodes, where they write jokes for each other to read without prior knowledge. For us viewers at home, it’s a highly anticipated event that adds an extra layer of excitement to the show. However, I cannot fathom the perspective of Scarlett Johansson, who has been the subject of many of Che’s jokes during these segments.

Supporters of “Saturday Night Live” know the customary practice for “Weekend Update” presenters Colin Jost and Michael Che during season finales and holidays: they write jokes for one another to recite on live television without prior inspection. This joke-swapping routine is an enjoyable spectacle for viewers at home, but Scarlett Johansson, Jost’s wife and a Marvel actress, experiences it quite differently. Due to Che frequently incorporating jokes about her in the content he provides to Jost, Johansson has confessed that she tunes out during those segments. However, it’s unclear how this situation impacts her feelings towards Che.

Scarlett Johansson Blacked Out During Colin Jost’s ‘Painful’ SNL Joke Swap 

In the final episode of “Saturday Night Live” last May, Colin Jost made a witty yet harsh comment about my movie “Her” during his segment. Michael Che penned the line that Jost had never seen the film because “without the physical presence, why bother listening?” After the show was broadcasted, I got to talk about it on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” I shared how it felt to watch that unfold.

Every year as anniversary of that fateful night approaches, my heart races with dread and fear. I can still remember the sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach when I saw the photograph that brought it all flooding back. The memories of that night are so traumatic, they’ve driven me to feel like I need to disappear, to go into hiding, like a witness protection program. I’m terrified that we’ll be targeted again.

It’s unsettling to think about the potential fallout, knowing that your name might be mentioned but being unsure of what your spouse will say about you in public. Scarlett Johansson once shared this sentiment with Kelly Clarkson, and she remarked that Michael Che’s line was relatively mild compared to his other work. The fear-inducing nature of the joke swaps between them is likely amplified by the knowledge of Che’s more provocative material. Thus, the question remains: what is Scarlett Johansson’s current relationship with Michael Che?

Does Scarlett Johansson ‘Get Mad’ At Michael Che For Writing Jokes About Her? 

As a gamer, I’ve seen Michael Che come up with jokes about a certain someone during the “SNL” season finales, and let me tell you, it wasn’t the first or last time. He included her in his share of inappropriate banter exchanged between us “Weekend Update” hosts around Christmas and numerous other occasions throughout the years. I can only imagine how uncomfortable that must have been for Scarlett Johansson. But surprisingly enough, she took it all in stride. In an interview with The New York Times, she opened up about the segment and her feelings towards Michael after the fact, showing no signs of taking it personally.

During that incident, I believe I lost consciousness. I most certainly won’t be angry about it. However, I’m extremely fearful of the potential backlash and having to deal with unpleasant messages. Strangely enough, I could still enjoy a beer with Che right after.

As a gamer, I can relate to this situation in my own way. Let me tell you, I’ve been on both sides of the joke-telling table. When it comes to Michael Che and his writing for Colin Jost, Scarlett Johansson takes it all in stride. She might not find it amusing every time, but she understands that it’s just part of the job. And you know what? I’ve been there too, where someone else’s jokes weren’t always my favorite, but I knew they were just doing their thing. So, no hard feelings from Scarlett’s side.

As a longtime fan of Saturday Night Live (SNL), I’m incredibly excited about the upcoming 50th season premiere. I can barely contain my anticipation as I eagerly wait for the announcement of the exact date. But in the meantime, my curiosity has been piqued by news that Colin Jost, an SNL cast member, will make a cameo appearance in Scarlett Johansson’s new film, “Fly Me to the Moon.”
