“Saturday Night Live” celebrates 50 years of comedy
This is the 50th anniversary of the Saturday Night Live, a live performance from New York.
Colin Jost and Michael Che’s Joke Swap War continues to escalate.
In the season 50 finale of “Saturday Night Live,” “Weekend Update” will host partooks in their six-annual segments, where people will read jokes that others may not have seen before.
In December, Jost was forced to read offensive jokes about his wife Scarlett Johansson and her private parts. This time, the “Black Widow” actress participated in the segment. Choi read the remarks written by Yost, declaring, “I want to apologize to the person I hurt,” and brought Johansson, the host of the episode, to sit next to him. He said, “When we joked, I let Colin make some tasteless jokes about her.”
“The truth is, I was just assaulting because I was jealous,” Choi read. “I never even saw a human vagina, and I once spent the summer on a farm and I realized I said human.”
Choi told Jost, “I owe you everything. When Colin discovered me, I was selling cracks outside the Bronx Zoo. I was looking at me now: selling cracks outside the American Girl Doll Store.
In part of Joke Wap Bit for Jost, Choi has his co-host retired and run the show after reading a message urging “SNL” creator and producer Lorne Michaels. Jost was also forced to read several racist jokes, including one shaming that insulted Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.
Johansson was also in the building during a previous joke swap in 2024. After Jost read a crude joke about her that Choi gave him, the actress was shocked by the camera and pointed out that “Oh, my god!” she appeared to be “very worried” during the segment.
Johansson later joked that on the “Today” show that she quips and joked with Choi.
