Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost Turn the Tables on Michael Che During SNL's Season Finale
Scarlett JohanssonIn a highly anticipated comeback at the 'Saturday Night Live' season 50 finale, Scarlett Johansson and her husband Colin Jost executed a humorous and calculated revenge on Michael Che, following an awkward joke about Johansson made by Che during the 'Weekend Update' segment last December. This particular episode, aired on May 17, 2025, featured the famous 'Joke Swap', where Jost and Che are known for making each other read outrageous jokes without prior notice.
During the segment, Che had to call Johansson to the stage to apologize for previously making Jost compare his wife's private parts to a roast beef sandwich, a gag that had shocked many, including Johansson. Che, reading from cue cards written by Jost, admitted, "I was just lashing out because I'm jealous. I've never even seen a human vagina. And notice I said 'human' because I once spent the summer on a farm". The honest yet funny declarations by Che had the audience in stitches while Johansson stood by, seemingly content with the light-hearted retribution.
Colin Jost wasn't spared embarrassment either. Che made him deliver a seemingly innocent joke about Steve Kerr and his son Nick, which quickly veered into risky territory, causing Jost to break into laughter upon realizing the inadvertent racial slur embedded in the setup. Additionally, Jost had to perform in another comedic bit, using a tube of lipstick to declare his ambitions of taking over 'SNL' from Lorne Michaels, much to the audience's amusement.
The finale wrapped up a season where Johansson had been a frequent, and often humorous target of the show’s jokes, maintaining her grace and sense of humor throughout. As the night concluded, fans were left eagerly anticipating what surprises 'SNL' season 51 might bring, with the promise of even more unpredictable and entertaining segments.
