Scarlett Johansson is on hand for a very special Saturday Night Live tradition featuring her husband, Colin Jost.
For years, the final SNL of the year includes a segment of “Weekend Update” in which the co-anchors, Colin and Michael Che, write jokes that the other must read for the first time on the air.
This year, Michael made Colin say things about his wife – and she was there reacting live in a hallway outside of the studio!

“I want to dedicate this next joke to my boo, Scarlett Johansson,” Colin was forced to read, as she watched from a monitor.
“No! No! Oh my gosh, she’s so genuinely worried!” he said, realizing she was watching.
“Y’all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means I’m about to get up out of there!” Colin said, laughing.
“Shiz! Nah, nah. I’m just playin’,” he went on. “We just had a kid together, and y’all ain’t see no pictures of him yet, because he’s Black as hell!” A Photoshopped image of the couple holding a Black baby then appeared on the screen.
Later on, Colin ended the segment with another Michael-penned joke he was forced to read.
“Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from its menu, but I ain’t tripping. I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid!” he said, adding: “Nah, nah, I just playin’ baby. You know I don’t go downtown! Shiz! That’s gay as hell!”
