Colin Jost Reveals How That Wild Vagina Joke About Wife Scarlett Johansson Went Over
The "SNL" star was forced during a recent "Weekend Update" segment to compare his wife's vagina to a roast beef sandwich.
âSNLâ star Colin Jost is finally sharing how that racy âWeekend Updateâ joke in December went over with his wife, Scarlett Johansson, whose vagina he compared on-air to a roast beef sandwich from Costco â to raucous laughter from the audience and himself alike.
âScarlett was genuinely so shocked,â Jost told Jimmy Fallon on Mondayâs âTonight Show.â
The recurring segment in which Jost and his co-star Michael Che write jokes for each other â and then have to read them aloud no matter what â left Jost as stunned as his wife, who was backstage during the broadcast and reacted with a facial expression for the ages.

âI was obviously surprised by everything, but they gave her a heads-up,â Jost told Fallon. âThey were like, âHey, would you be OK if Michael made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?â And she was like, âSure!â You know, âWhatever, Iâm open to it.ââ
âI didnât know where it was going, and then the graphic came up for [Costco],â he continued, prompting audible laughs of recognition from the audience. âSo Scarlett is backstage like, âOh my God! Thatâs what it is?!â
The premise of the joke in question concerned Costco removing its roast beef sandwich from its menu, and with an image of the meal appearing onscreen behind Jost, he said at the time: âBut I ainât tripping, I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.â

Johansson, who mouthed an apparent âOh my Godâ from backstage after Jost delivered the R-rated dig, previously admitted that the joke swaps are âbrutalâ and get âworseâ every year â and joked that she blacks out âfor that period of the nightâ every time.

âIâm extremely lucky,â Johansson said at the time. âHeâs a kind person and heâs hilarious and thoughtful and loving and heâs a great dad and I love him. I feel very, very lucky. But heâs also, heâs got his naughty side. He keeps it interesting.â
