SNL's Colin Jost TRICKED Into Making Joke About Wife Scarlett Johansson

It was announced that Creed singer Scott Staff will play Frank Sinatra in an upcoming movie, but the good news is Sammy Davis Jr. will be played by Scarlett Johansson. Yeah, Colin Jost was tricked into making a joke about wife Scarlett Johansson on Saturday Night Live. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. She's great, she's great. During SNL's final episode of 2020, Colin and his Weekend Update co-host Michael Che took part in Colin's least favorite year-end tradition, blindly reading jokes they wrote for one another on air. We're making each other read jokes live on air that the other person has never seen before. Yeah, fun, harmless, inoffensive jokes, right Che? Yeah man, why don't you go first though? Which is how we got this moment. It was announced that Creed singer Scott Staff will play Frank Sinatra in an upcoming movie, but the good news is Sammy Davis Jr. will be played by Scarlett Johansson. The shockingly biting jab seemingly references Scarlett's past controversies involving accusations of whitewashing in her movies, most notably her leading role in The Ghost in the Shell. This is major. Colin did force Michael to say this joke though. It was revealed that the sequel to the movie Hocus Pocus is in the works for Disney+, which by judging, which judging by this picture is a movie about every white woman I've ever slept with. Cool. So maybe they're even? But back to Colin and ScarJo. Yeah, wedding planning, that's a thing you're supposed to do. It doesn't just happen. The two tied the knot in October in a small ceremony, collaborating with Meals on Wheels to announce their nuptials on Instagram. And the caption? Jost married. The pair got engaged in 2019 after two years of dating. I don't know what this world's gonna be after Tuesday. And Michael Che had this to say on SNL the next day, which was also the final episode before Election Day. I may never see you again, Colin. I mean, we might both get drafted in the race war. It's not fair. You just married Scarlett Johansson and I just bought an electric bike. We're both doing equally great. It's become a bit on the show to make Colin uncomfortable with jokes about his high-profile relationship. In February, Colin's SNL castmate Chloe Fineman even did an impression of Scarlett right in front of him. And his reaction was priceless. Marriage story taught me a lot about teacup acting. It's like when ScarJo's like, so I saw Charlie in this play and he was this big bear. Do you feel like you're at home, Colin?
