‘SNL’: Michael Che Yet Again Has Colin Jost Insult Scarlett Johansson
- At the Season 2025 finale, Colin Jost was made to read a string of prewritten jokes after Michael Che told him they weren’t doing the swap but prepared all the material.
- The recurring joke swap tradition usually has the anchors trade jokes, often offensive, and Che has a history of writing harsh punchlines for Jost, including targeting his wife during Christmas episodes and season finales.
- During the bit, images of Scarlett Johansson and Jenna Ortega appeared as Jost joked about menopause and included references to slavery and church sexual abuse, shocking the audience at Studio 8H.
- Che later read an on‑air apology to Scarlett Johansson, saying `I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to someone I hurt,` while cameras cut to Johansson watching in Studio 8H.
- The tradition looks set to continue at future finales, as the joke swap remains a recurring Weekend Update staple and Jost later got his revenge during the Season 50 finale.
