Colin Jost<\/strong> was strong-armed into making his wife, Scarlett Johansson<\/strong>, the butt of a joke he was forced to deliver on ‘SNL’ … and he has his good pal Michael Che<\/strong> to thank for it.<\/p>\n Last night was the sketch comedy series’ last show of the year, and every Christmas — the two “Weekend Update” hosts have a tradition of writing jokes for one another that the other hasn’t seen … but has to read in front of the audience as if it’s coming straight from them.<\/p>\n It’s one of the better bits on the show these days, and 2023’s iteration didn’t disappoint — especially for one crack Che made Colin read … at the expense of his A-lister spouse.<\/p>\n The premise was highlighting a new NY law that now allows movie theaters to serve booze — which Colin then said would serve as the only way he can get through ScarJo’s “little art movies” … with a flash to an OTS graphic of her in “Black Widow.”<\/p>\n It was a pretty sick burn (from Che) and the audience definitely seemed to notice … cackling and dropping the collective “OOOOOHHHHHHH” to signify how wild it was that her hubby was saying that.<\/p>\n Of course, it’s all in good fun … and Colin rolled with it, including reading the tail end of Che’s edgy joke for him — in which he said, “I’m kidding, honey. I love all of your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better Black widow than Coretta Scott King.”<\/p>\n The funniest part about all of Colin’s jokes — which were written to be pretty racist against Black people — is that Che brought out a (fake) Civil Rights activist to sit next to him while he delivered all of these … and Che ribbed him about it each and every time.<\/p>\n Definitely got big laughs … and certainly worth the year-long wait. ‘SNL’ is back in January.<\/p>\n![\"Colin](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/86\/4by3\/2023\/12\/17\/8659062372c24a16b750b851a8583674_md.png\")
