Colin Jost jokes about Scarlett Johansson on ‘SNL’ as she watches backstage

The wife is always watching.

Colin Jost was forced to make jokes about wife Scarlett Johansson during the “Weekend Update” segment. on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.

To make matters worse, Johansson, 40, watched her husband tear into her from backstage at Studio 8H.

The segment involved Jost, 42, and Michael Che writing jokes for each other to read on live TV.

Jost was forced to use “a black voice” when making the wild jokes about his wife.

“Why?” Jost asked aloud as a graphic of Johansson and the words “40th Birthday” appeared on the screen.

“I want to dedicate this next joke to my message, Scarlett Johansson,” the comedian continued.

The camera then cut to the “Black Widow” actress shaking her head as she watched her husband on a screen backstage.

“No one! No one! Oh God, she’s so genuinely worried!” Jost said.

“Hey boo, you guys know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means I’m coming up from there,” Jost continued, struggling to control his laughter.

“Shiz,” he added when Johansson was confused by the backstage jokes.

“I think there’s a little bit more,” Che, 41, pointed out.

“Oh, there’s more,” Jost said.

“Nah, nah. I’m just playing,” Jost continued. “We just had a kid together and you can’t see any pictures of him yet because he’s black as hell.”

The screen then showed a picture of the couple with a black child.

“Shiz, shiz. I’m not afraid of you mofos,” Jost said jokingly.

Johansson casually sipped a glass of water while shaking her head in response to Jost’s jokes.

The couple met in 2017 when Johansson hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Jost has worked on the sketch comedy show since 2005.

They got married in 2020, which was announced by Meals on Wheels America via Instagram then.

“We are thrilled to announce that Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost were married over the weekend in an intimate ceremony with their immediate family and loved ones, following COVID-19 safety precautions as directed by the CDC,” the post said.

The stars accepted theirs son, Cosmo, in August 2021.

Johansson also has a 10-year-old daughter, Rosefrom her previous marriage to French journalist Romain Dauriac.

During Johansson’s appearance on Kelly Clarkson’s talk show in 2021, the “Fly Me to the Moon” actress admitted that she gets nervous watching her husband on “SNL.”

“I rarely watch now without having a sense of … not overwhelming panic, like a slight overwhelming panic, because I just feel like something is going to fall apart at any moment,” she explained. “And that’s the thrill of ‘SNL’ and for all audiences, right? Because it’s absolutely live.”

Johansson continued, “But when you’re emotionally invested in it, and not just entertained by it, it takes on a little bit of a different life.”
