Michael Che and Colin Jost, the dynamic duo behind “Weekend Update” on Saturday night live – continued their Christmas tradition of exchanging wild gifts before the show’s seasonal break.
In a revival of their habit of exchanging jokes, the comedy partners took turns telling jokes written by the other. This always leads to spontaneous and unrehearsed reactions on live television.
Hilarity ensued when Che, the instigator, introduced the audience to the fictional character “Dr. Hattie Davis.” Davis is a poet, author and activist. This provided the backdrop for the entertaining exchange of comedic commentary between the co-hosts.
Colin Jost forced to tell joke about Scarlett Johansson on ‘SNL’
The crescendo of the segment came when Che, in a mischievous move, concluded the prank by mocking Jost with a witty and cheeky joke about Jost’s wife, movie megastar Scarlett Johansson.
“New York State now allows movie theaters to serve alcohol, and that’s how I can finally enjoy my wife’s little art films,” Jost read with a bit of embarrassment in his voice.
“I’m kidding, honey. I love all your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better ‘Black Widow’ than Coretta Scott King,” she continued. The whole thing, of course, received a disapproving nod from Davis, who was sitting next to Jost.
