Scarlett Johansson Left Speechless by Colin Jost’s Bold SNL Jokes About Their Marriage

In a moment that quickly became the talk of the internet, Scarlett Johansson found herself at the center of an unexpectedly hilarious prank by none other than her husband, Colin Jost. On a recent episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL), Jost—one half of the “Weekend Update” duo—took the opportunity to tell a series of raunchy jokes about Johansson, which had both the live audience and viewers laughing. However, the jokes also elicited a memorable reaction from Johansson herself, who was caught on camera muttering the words “Holy s—!”

The Setup

The evening began like any other SNL episode, with the cast performing a series of skits and musical guests lighting up the stage. The audience, already warmed up, eagerly awaited the “Weekend Update” segment, a staple of the show, where Jost and co-host Michael Che tackle current events with their signature irreverence. As the segment progressed, it became clear that Jost had something personal up his sleeve.

That moment came when Jost switched from commenting on celebrity news to poking fun at his own family life. “You know,” he began, smiling, “it’s hard being married to someone who’s both a superhero and one of the most beautiful people on the planet. But I manage… somehow.”

The Jokes

The first joke landed lightly, drawing laughter from the audience. But as Jost continued, his tone became increasingly sarcastic. “I mean, you’d think that marrying Black Widow would mean I’d get special treatment at home,” he joked. “But no… all it means is that I’m really good at assembling Ikea furniture while she’s out saving the world.”

The audience laughed, but it was Jost’s next line that really rocked the room. “You know what’s really scary about living with a Marvel superhero? It’s not the assassins or the explosions,” he said. “It’s when she gives you that look… you know, that look that says, ‘I’m going to end you faster than Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out half the universe.'”

Scarlett’s Reaction

Jost had no idea that Johansson was in the audience that night, a rare treat for fans who spotted the actress shortly after the show began. Seated in the front row, Johansson’s reactions quickly became part of the story. As Jost told the Thanos joke, the camera panned to her, capturing her wide-eyed expression and delighted smile.

But the truly remarkable moment came when Jost, spurred on by the crowd’s laughter, pushed the boundaries even further. “Marriage is about compromise,” he said, pausing for dramatic effect. “Like how I learned never to mention Ghost in the Shell unless I was looking for an argument.”

Johansson, visibly laughing but clearly taken aback, muttered, “Oh my god!” as the audience erupted. Her reaction quickly went viral, with social media users sharing gifs and clips of the moment within minutes of it airing.

Backstage Buzz

Sources close to the SNL cast and crew revealed that Johansson had no idea the prank was coming, as Jost had deliberately kept his material under wraps. “Colin wanted her reaction to be authentic,” an insider shared. “He knew Scarlett would take it well, but even he was surprised by the attention the moment garnered.”

After the show, Johansson reportedly joined Jost backstage, where the couple laughed about the sudden attention on their marriage. “Scarlett is a great person,” the source added. “She understands Colin’s sense of humor better than anyone and appreciates his wit, even when it hurts her.”

Social Media Frenzy

In the immediate aftermath of the episode, fans flooded social media with their reactions. The hashtag #HolyShitScarlett trended on Twitter, with users praising Johansson’s kind response and Jost’s comedic timing.

“Imagine being mocked by your husband on live TV and still looking flawless while muttering ‘oh my god’,” one fan tweeted. Another added, “Colin Jost deserves an award for bravery. Making fun of Scarlett Johansson on national TV? Iconic.”

Others were quick to pick up on the humor, with some pointing out the delicate balance Jost maintained. “He’s making fun of her career and her marriage, but it’s all in good fun,” one fan commented. “It’s a testament to how strong their relationship is.”

The Couple’s Dynamic

Johansson and Jost’s relationship has long been admired for its combination of glamour and intimacy. The couple began dating in 2017 after meeting on the set of SNL and married in 2020 in an intimate ceremony. Over the years, they’ve shared glimpses of their lives together, from public appearances to endearing anecdotes about their family life.

Jost’s jokes, while a little cheeky, highlighted the playful banter that fans have come to associate with the couple. “Colin’s sense of humor is one of the things Scarlett loves most about him,” a close friend of the couple revealed. “And Scarlett’s down-to-earth nature keeps Colin on his toes. They’re a perfect match.”
