Scarlett Johansson reacts to 'SNL' joke swap: 'Genuine shock'

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

That roast beef joke was absolutely brutal. Michael Che is the god of the Joke Swap. I don't know how he does it, but every year he manages to up the game.

[@wes9987]

What's great is that Colin is clearly learning, too. While he's not at the level of Che in terms of the jokes he writes for him, his delivery is better and some of the ones he has had in recent years have really made Che get uncomfortable.

[@jonathanvilla7280]

Is it wrong that I'd still eat that roast beef? Lol.

[@Xone9]

@@wes9987 The Kendrick Lamar joke really had Che shook.

[@ColinPoole]

@@jonathanvilla7280 It's not wrong to think it.....

[@elliemyers6435]

@@wes9987 Well, in fairness, Che can go places that Colin can't...For one, Che isn't married to an insanely famous actress and, Colin can't go down the race well in the same ways that Che can....BUT, Colin is learning how to really sting Michael...the one he had about Kendrick Lamar last year was absolutely brilliant, and the one he had about Jay-Z at the Diddy parties this year was also awesome, so, Colin has learned to be more savage, which is amazing :)

[@kimmathis1945]

The next joke swap should feature Scarlet at the news desk.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

And Michael chillin in the hallway. With a drink or something.

Dude the joke swaps are just so funny, all the time

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

She's a good sport about it. She's very funny when she's on SNL. One of my favorite sketches she's in is The Singing Elves.

[@stargazer1682]

That would be the best twist the next time Collin and Michael do their swap. Unbeknownst to Michael, Scarlett turns up and they reveal she wrote the jokes Michael will be saying this time.

[@vermithor51ac]

they both hit jackpot in their marriage. great to see.

[@AndySaenz924]

They love torturing Colin Jost on the air! 😂

[@Jude74]

I couldn’t believe how vulgar and distasteful it was. I literally couldn’t stop laughing for like two weeks.😂

[@jacquelinemilom4164]

It made me feel bad for Colin having to read that. Like I think Scarlett is right Che has it out for them. Haha. Hopefully he doesn’t go too far that he lands them in divorce territory ha.

[@juliagoolia72]

Why is American morning television so uptight? I’m assuming the majority of viewers wouldn’t even get the joke, and Scarlet talking about how shocked she was just lands flat if you didn’t actually see what happened.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

And I haven't so far. Something to do with meat and Arby's? Of course years ago, I never "got" Eddie Murphy's Larry The Lobster sketch...

[@hpgal88]

Maybe cause children could be watching.. theres no need for things to be vulgar all the time

[@jamiegallier2106]

It’s only takes a second to put together what is meant, and it was pretty insulting to her standing there, post-partum. As well as insulting to all women. It’s wasn’t edgey, it was punching down. As for not showing that part- it’s entirely possible she didn’t want to have to watch her labia being compared to a roast beef sandwich after giving birth, again, on live tv. Anyone who wants to see it can choose to watch the segment in its entirety and judge for themselves.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

@ Maybe for the morning talk show. SNL itself IS late night.

[@johnmoreland6089]

​@hpgal88 I agree, but in this case, children wouldn't understand the joke. They'd literally just think it was about roast beef sandwiches.

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

Next time, Scarlett writes the jokes with Colin's help... ;-P

[@xcrates]

Colin didn't write the jokes. It's a joke swap. He has no idea what he's about to say

[@Riccc23]

They should do an April Fools episode, where Colin and Scarlett are at the news desk roasting Michael, who is just on the side watching.

[@mitchellgentry2818]

Scarlet Johansson needs to get back at Micheal Che at the SNL 50th anniversary to tell jokes about him

[@hannar6041]

She’s such a good sport! I felt bad for her! She needs to get payback on Che

[@BayviewProperties-x4j]

The way she said Michael Che! Lol

[@Chrissied3272]

I just love these two!! Best couple, Scar and Colin♥️

[@elbruces]

Setting up a teleprompter swap between Scarlett and Che is a terrible idea! It would just give him the chance to get her even *more!*

[@davidgiannone2985]

For the record, according to Colin, Scarlet was asked in advance if she would be O.k. with potential subject matter and she signed off on it.

[@williamreilly2567]

I don't regularly watch it anymore because the humor is just so weak in most sketches, with Weekend Update being the only thing you can count on to make you laugh and the joke swap is just BRILLIANT. Those two guys are basically carrying the entire show.

[@scooterskin75]

We basically just sit around and flip it on only about the time we know weekend update will be on. It's amazing. I'd say Colin and Michael need their own show, but I'd hate for an extended time frame like a 30 min show to mess up the magic. It's a perfect segment. The Nosferatu skit a couple weeks ago on weekend update was hilarious.

Omg! I saw that. My jaw dropped. I was livid. Good to hear her side.

[@leahartlee29]

Livid? They were JOKES!!

[@jamiegallier2106]

@ Name a woman who just gave birth and had her hoohah’s current state compared to a roast beef sandwich, live on tv, and genuinely appreciate that humor. It’s the same kind of humor where a man asks the doctor for extra ‘stitching’. Some women may think it’s funny, try looking up the ‘cool girl’ or punching down, for perspective.

[@johnmoreland6089]

​@@jamiegallier2106I agree, but she didn't just give birth. Cosmo is 3 and 1/2 now. But it's still a vulgar joke.

[@jamiegallier2106]

@ Ah, thank you. I would have been simply mad, rather than livid, had I known she hadn’t recently had her baby. And, agreed. *while children may not get the joke, it normalizes jokes at women’s expense and at some point they will get the joke and that those kinds of demeaning jokes are fine.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Scarlett Johansen should be the Evie Colbert of Saturday Night Live. She comes on and does a bit sometimes. She was really funny as the crazylady Republican who did the response to the State Of the Union address. Who was she?

the jokes was so funny tbh

[@cory5495]

Scarlett makes it blatantly obvious that she doesn't like the "jokes" and it makes her uncomfortable, and Emma Stone agreed. I don't get why people keep trying to play in her face and say stuff like "oh it's hilarious though". The heck?

[@m.coleman]

Finally, someone gets it! It was blatantly obvious from THIS interview that it hurt her feelings and didn't land well (behind the scenes) with at least one other woman on the show. There's no doubt that she has a good sense of humor and went along with it for obvious reasons, but these interviews are very telling. I thought her eyes got watery and could tell she was uncomfortable...but, what is she going to do? I'm sure there were apologies behind the scenes but she's human, why wouldn't/shouldn't we expect a human reaction. It's OK to admit that maybe this went too far. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@cory5495]

​@@m.coleman exactly, none of the other people interviewing her dare to agree with her and admit it went too far. They obviously see that her feelings were hurt, & instead of trying to empathise with her, they laughed in her face and pushed the knife deeper. It was very telling, and I lost respect for both of those ladies interviewing her. They're most likely jealous of Scarlett and her career, and took the opportunity to kick her while she was down, but did so passive-aggressively. And it was gross seeing her husband laugh at the jokes disrespecting her. It's weird seeing them try to disrespect a woman more talented than them, and reduce her to nothing but her looks and her age.

Hmm, Jenna Bush is a total nepo baby and would have no tv career if it weren't for her name. She has no charisma nor much life knowledge, so this hire when she was very young and the child of a totally unpopular president then and now is bizarre.
