Colin Jost Compelled to Roast His Partner, Scarlett Johansson, on ‘SNL’

Closing evening time was the sketch comedy assortment’ ultimate current of the 12 months, and every Christmas — the two “Weekend Exchange” hosts have a observe of writing jokes for one another that the other hasn’t seen … nonetheless has to be taught in entrance of the viewers as whether it is coming straight from them.

It’s one in every of many greater bits on the current these days, and 2023’s iteration didn’t disappoint — notably for one crack Che made Colin be taught … on the expense of his A-lister accomplice.

The premise was highlighting a model new NY regulation that now permits movie theaters to serve booze — which Colin then talked about would operate the one methodology he can get by way of ScarJo’s “little paintings movies” … with a flash to an OTS graphic of her in “Black Widow.”

It was a reasonably sick burn (from Che) and the viewers positively appeared to notice … cackling and dropping the collective “OOOOOHHHHHHH” to point how wild it was that her hubby was saying that.

In spite of everything, it’s all in good pleasant … and Colin rolled with it, along with finding out the tail end of Che’s edgy joke for him — by which he talked about, “I’m kidding, honey. I actually like your total movies. And in case you ask me, you’re a wonderful greater Black widow than Coretta Scott King.”
