Michael Che<\/a> blindsided his \u201cWeekend Update\u201d co-host Colin Jost<\/a> with a one-sided edition of their joke swap segment<\/a> on this weekend\u2019s \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The duo has made a semi-annual tradition out of writing outrageous punchlines for the other to read sight unseen, compelling both comics to make cracks that truly push the boundaries of bad taste.<\/p>\n

But during this year\u2019s holiday episode, Jost was under the impression they were skipping the bawdy bit, leaving him completely unprepared for Che\u2019s mischief.<\/p>\n

Jost cackled as Che announced it was joke time, telling him, \u201cThat\u2019s interesting, because you specifically said that we were not doing it this year … I did not write any jokes for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

While off-color quips about slavery and the Catholic church clearly made Jost squirm, he was truly aghast when the teleprompter revealed a roast of his wife, actor Scarlett Johansson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"MichaelMichael Che cornered “Weekend Update” partner Colin Jost into another bawdy joke swap during this weekend’s episode of “SNL.”<\/p>\n

\u201cNew research shows that millions of women leave the workforce due to menopause, which means there\u2019s only a couple years left on my gravy train,\u201d Jost gaped as a photo of his 41-year-old other half popped on the screen.<\/p>\n

Barely able to keep his composure as he mocked the mother of his children, he said, \u201cMy girl already be like, \u2018Colin, I\u2019m warm. Colin, I\u2019m sweating.\u2019 Bitch, you having a hot flash!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jost was a good sport, especially given the fact the fake news anchors were supposed to be in a joke swap d\u00e9tente after he was forced to make a filthy joke<\/a> about his wife\u2019s private parts during the final episode of 2024.<\/p>\n

Johansson was backstage when her husband announced that Costco was removing the roast beef sandwich from its menu and then said, \u201cBut I ain\u2019t trippin\u2019, I\u2019ve been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Marvel<\/a> star ended up getting revenge<\/a> on Che in May when she made him issue a mortifying on-air apology, which said, \u201cThe fact is, I was just lashing out because I\u2019m jealous. I\u2019ve never ever seen a human vagina. And notice I said \u2018human\u2019 because I once spent the summer on a farm.\u201d<\/p>\n
