Since December 2018, the *Saturday Night Live* Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che have maintained a distinctive holiday custom: exchanging jokes live on-air. The catch? Each host reads jokes penned by the other, without having seen them beforehand, resulting in some side-splittingly awkward and frequently outrageous instances.

This segment essentially acts as a platform for Jost and Che to compel each other into sharing shockingly inappropriate punchlines. This year, the pair ventured even further, addressing subjects from slavery reparations to allegations involving rappers Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z. Yet, the standout moment occurred when Che elevated the stakes by crafting a joke for Jost about his marriage to Scarlett Johansson—all while Johansson was present in the studio.

Indeed, Scarlett Johansson, who made an appearance earlier in the episode during the *Five-Timers Club* cold open, was witnessing the entire event live. *SNL* ensured to capture her priceless expressions as Jost recited Che’s jokes. It’s a moment you simply must see to appreciate.
