On the recent season finale of "Saturday Night Live" (SNL), Colin Jost and co-host Michael Che continued their annual tradition of swapping offensive zingers during the Weekend Update segment. However, this time, the joke swap took an unexpected turn, leaving Jost in an amusingly awkward position.
For years, Jost and Che have delighted viewers by writing surprise jokes for each other to read live on air during SNL's season finales. It's a lighthearted way to wrap up the show and inject some humor into their closing remarks.
During this season's joke swap, Jost found himself reading a joke about his own wife, Scarlett Johansson. The unexpected punchline caught him off guard, and the audience's reaction was a mix of laughter and surprise.
Without revealing the exact content of the joke, it's safe to say that it touched on Johansson's past controversies and accusations related to whitewashing in her career. Jost's discomfort added an extra layer of hilarity to the moment.
Following the show, Jost acknowledged the playful prank and shared a laugh about it. While the joke may have caught him off balance, it's all in good fun, and he remains a good sport about the tradition.
The SNL joke swap continues to be a highlight of each season, and this year's unexpected twist involving Scarlett Johansson proves that even seasoned comedians can be surprised by their own material. As the 50th anniversary season approaches, fans eagerly await more memorable moments from the SNL cast.
