As a tradition for the season finale of «Saturday Night Live», - Colin Jost and Michael Che exchanged jokes with each other that they hadn’t seen yet, for a fun segment of «Weekend Update», - to wrap up the 49th season on Saturday, May 18th. While the pair wrote intense jokes for each other, one of Che’s jokes for Colin was about his marriage to Scarlett Johansson and her movie «Her», - which earned her an Oscar.
In the middle of the segment, Colin began reading from a card when a graphic of Scarlett appeared next to him. He started telling the joke, but then clearly seemed a bit shocked as he continued. «Oh my God», - he said before continuing.
The joke teased the theme of the movie «Her», - where Scarlett voiced an artificial intelligence that the character played by Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with. «ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in the movie 'Her,' which I never bothered to watch», - Colin said before reaching the punchline. «Because without a body, what’s the point of listening».
For their joke exchanges, Colin and Che regularly tease each other with jokes on controversial topics to get each other in trouble. They often laugh throughout the process, and it’s entertaining. Some other topics they touched on included students walking out of Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech in support of Palestine, disagreements between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, and the Catholic Church.
This is not the first time Che has written a joke about Scarlett for their joke exchange with Colin. During their Christmas episode in 2023, they had a funny segment about her movie career. «New York State now allows theaters to sell alcohol, so I can finally enjoy my wife’s movies», - he joked. «I'm kidding, dear. I love all your movies, and if you ask me, you’re even better as Black Widow than Coretta Scott King [Martin Luther King’s wife]»
