Sometimes, the entertainment industry can be a bit too intriguing…
In a recent interview with InStyle, Scarlett Johansson candidly reflected on the particularly NSFW joke made about her intimate anatomy during the much-talked-about joke swap with Michael Che last December. She expressed her disbelief, stating, “I just can’t believe that they went there. It was so vulgar. It was so gross. It was really gross. And, like, old-school gross.” This moment highlights the often outrageous humor that characterizes their dynamic.
In a twist of fate, Johansson got her chance for revenge when she returned as the host for the seventh time during the season finale of Saturday Night Live on May 18.
In a playful exchange, Che recalled, “You know, last time we did ‘joke swap,’ I made Colin do some tasteless jokes comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef.” He humorously added, “Well, the fact is, I was just lashing out because I’m jealous. I’ve never even seen a human vagina.” This exchange not only showcases their comedic rapport but also highlights Johansson’s role as a formidable comedic force.
This moment catapulted Johansson into the role of the ultimate avenger in comedy, but it was merely one standout highlight from her whirlwind week of hosting.
Reflecting on her experience, she told E! News, “It felt like a runaway train and by the end the wheels and bottom were all falling off and it was crazy.” It was a chaotic yet exhilarating experience for the talented actress. “It felt like a big blur,” she added, emphasizing the intensity of the moment.
Despite the chaos, Johansson maintained a positive outlook, stating, “You try to take your moments as you’re doing it to look around and appreciate the uniqueness of what you’re experiencing and how special it is.” This insight reveals her ability to find meaning amid the frenetic energy of live television.
There is certainly a lot to unpack regarding her journey in the entertainment industry. Stay tuned to explore the touching moments from her and Colin Jost‘s heartwarming love story.
