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 rip on her from backstage at Studio 8H.
The segment involved Jost, 42, and Michael Che writing jokes for each other that they had to read on live television.
Jost was forced to use “a Black voice” as he delivered the wild quips 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 boo, Scarlett Johansson,” the comedian continued.
The camera then cut to the “Black Widow” actress shaking her head while watching her husband on a monitor backstage.
“No! No! Oh my gosh, she’s so genuinely worried!” Jost said.
“Hey boo, y’all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday which means I’m about to get up out of there,” Jost went on, struggling to control his laughter.
“Shiz,” he added, as Johansson was confused about the jokes from backstage.
“I think there’s a little 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 y’all ain’t see no pictures of him yet ’cause he Black as hell.”
The screen then showed a photo of the couple with a Black child.
“Shiz, shiz. I ain’t afraid of you mofos,” Jost jokingly said.
Johansson casually sipped a glass a water as she shook 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 at the time.
“We’re thrilled to break the news that Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost were married over the weekend in an intimate ceremony with their immediate family and love ones, following COVID-19 safety precautions as directed by the CDC,” the post stated.
The stars welcomed their son, Cosmo, in August 2021.
Johansson also has a 10-year-old daughter, Rose, from 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 now rarely watch without having a sense of … not overwhelming panic, just like a slight underwhelming panic, because I just feel like at any moment something’s going to fall apart,” she explained. “And that’s the excitement 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.”
