SNL's' Colin Jost forced to crack joke about wife Scarlett Johansson's body on 'Weekend Update'

The season finale of "Saturday Night Live" went out with a bang last night, featuring its traditional joke swap segment on "Weekend Update."

Hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che were forced to read jokes written by the other, making for some uncomfortable moments. 

A little ways into the segment, Jost uttered an, "Oh God," after realizing he'd have to take a crack at his wife, Scarlett Johansson.

"ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson's AI character in ‘Her,' which I've never bothered to watch because without that body, what's the point of listening," Jost said, much to his embarrassment.

The 2013 flick stars Joaquin Phoenix as a man who falls in love with his AI device, Samantha, played by Johansson. You don't see her in the movie, although her voice is heard throughout.

A representative for Johansson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Unfortunately for Jost, awkward remarks about his wife seem to have become routine. For the final show of 2023, Jost was also forced to roast his wife of four years.

"New York State now allows movie theaters to sell alcohol," Jost read at the time. "Which is how I’m finally able to enjoy my wife’s little art movies," he said as a picture of Johansson in the Marvel film "Black Widow" appeared on the screen.

Showing discomfort, Jost continued reading: "I’m kidding, honey. I love all of your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better ‘Black Widow’ than Coretta Scott King," he cringed.

In 2020, Jost had to make a quip about his wife's contentious casting history. 

Johansson first sparked controversy in 2017 after she took a role based off a Japanese anime character in "Ghost in the Shell." The following year, it was announced Johansson would play a transgender man in "Rub & Tug." Receiving immense backlash, Johansson dropped the project.

"It was announced that Creed singer Scott Stapp will play Frank Sinatra in an upcoming movie. But the good news is, Sammy Davis Jr. will be played by Scarlett Johansson," Jost said on live television, shaking his head.

Colorado mom tackles alleged peeping Tom outside department store dressing room

A Colorado mother was not going to let an alleged peeping Tom escape after she says she caught him watching her change in a department store fitting room.

The incident happened May 11 in Lakewood, Michelle Chandler told local FOX31. The unnamed mall store reportedly offers dressing rooms for both men and women in the same area. Chandler said she was trying on a possible Mother's Day outfit when she noticed someone's feet smelled bad. 

"As I went to take these pants off, I bent down, and I looked over, and I saw men's shoes, socks and his phone pointing right at me," the mother of five told the TV station. "I grabbed him, threw him on the ground, put my knee in his back and held his head down."

Chandler said store associates helped her hold onto the suspect, who she identified as being 19 years old, until mall security and police arrived.

"This is why men don't belong in women's fitting rooms," Chandler tells the suspect in the video captured while restraining him. The suspect can be seen with his pants falling off and gym shorts underneath.

"You need to be held accountable," Chandler told FOX31 about the suspect. "It's not OK what he did."

Lakewood police confirmed to FOX31 that they responded to the alleged incident. The suspect has not been identified, and police did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
