New York, NY – Scarlett Johansson got sweet comedic revenge on Michael Che during the Saturday Night Live (SNL) Season 50 finale, delivering a hilarious comeback for a past roast aimed at her.The finale episode aired on May 17, 2025, with Johansson as the host and Bad Bunny as the musical guest. During the popular Weekend Update segment, tradition dictated a joke swap between anchors Colin Jost (Johansson’s husband) and Michael Che. But this year, it came with a twist.Che began setting the stage by saying, “Before I tell another joke, I want to apologize to someone I hurt.” Enter Scarlett Johansson, who joined him at the desk. Referring to a previous roast where Che joked about her inappropriately, she responded dryly, “Yes, I remember that.”

Che, reading from Jost’s script, confessed: “I was lashing out because I’m jealous. I’ve never seen a human vagina. And I say human, because I spent a summer on a farm.” The audience erupted in laughter as Johansson continued the comedic roasting by quipping, “Yes, I heard that about you.”

Still reading Jost’s lines, Che revealed even more outrageous material: “I might be so embarrassed with my body that I never take my hoodie off during sex. I have more nipples than a pregnant dog.” He closed with: “I love you, Colin.”

Scarlett & Colin Share a Special On-Screen Moment

The night ended with a sweet moment as Johansson received a bouquet of red roses and a kiss from Jost, celebrating her seventh time hosting the legendary sketch show. The couple’s playful on-screen chemistry drew cheers from the crowd, especially after Jost jokingly proposed a kiss in a Jurassic Park-themed promo earlier in the week.

The pair, who began dating in 2017, married in 2020 and share a 3-year-old son named Cosmo. Johansson also has a daughter, Rose Dorothy, from her previous marriage with Romain Dauriac.

Behind the Joke Swap Tradition

The joke swap, now a fan-favorite segment, involves the anchors reading unrevealed jokes written by the other. Last year, Che had Jost say a roast beef joke that shocked Johansson backstage. This time, the tables were turned — and the revenge was sweet, clever, and viral-worthy.

As SNL wraps its milestone 50th season, moments like these remind fans why the show remains a cultural staple — blending comedy, surprise, and a touch of real-life romance.
