In a shocking twist during Saturday Night Live’s final episode of 2024, host Colin Jost took his biannual “joke swap” with co-anchor Michael Che to new heights when his wife Scarlett Johansson walked onto the set. The sketch was captured on camera, and Jost read jokes that made her visibly stunned.
The joke swap typically features Jost and Che reading each other’s worst material, but this time the tables were turned. Jost was given a joke about leaving him after turning 40, which included a photoshopped picture of him with a Black child. Johansson was seen sipping a drink as Jost delivered the punchline, which made her curse and shake her head.
Che wasn’t done yet, sharing another lewd joke involving his wife and a Costco sandwich. The audience reaction to Che’s jokes left Jost visibly uncomfortable, leading to a heated exchange during the news portion of “Weekend Update.”
The episode also featured an array of celebrity cameos in sketches, including Martin Short joining Tom Hanks, Emma Stone, John Mulaney, and others as members of the five-timers club. The show closed out 2024 with a star-studded performance that left fans eagerly anticipating next year’s return.
