Scarlett Johansson gets revenge on SNL host as he apologises for making joke about intimate body part

Scarlett Johansson got a little bit of revenge on the SNL host who wrote that joke about her body.

The Black Widow star, 40, hosted the NBC late night show for the season 50 finale, and was joined by her husband and SNL host Colin Jost.

Everything appeared to be going well on the night, and then the iconic Weekend Update segment came on.

So during that particular segment last year, Jost and co-host Michael Che present the bit, and took part in the tradition of reading out each other's jokes, unaware of what had been written.

Jost read out a joke written by Che, which was about why Costco had taken the roast beef sandwich off their menu.

The spouse shockingly quipped: "I've been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kids."

Johansson was just as surprised as the live audience as she gasped back stage, later admitting she could 'faint' after hearing it.

Now, the tradition of reading out each other's jokes continued in the latest show when Jost suddenly asked his wife to join them on set.

"Before I tell another joke, I want to take this opportunity to apologise to someone I hurt," Che said.

"Scarlett, can you come out here?"

Che then started to read out the 'revenge joke' written by Jost: "Last time we did jokes live, I made Colin do some tasteless jokes comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef."

"Yes I remember that," she replied.

"Well, the fact is I was just lashing out because I'm jealous. I've never even seen a human vagina.

"And notice I said human. Because I once spent the summer on a farm. You feel me?

"Maybe I'm just embarrassed about my own body. I can't even take my hoodie off during sex because I have more nipples than a pregnant dog."

Johansson - who has now hosted the show seven times - replied: "Yes, I have heard that about you."

It comes after the actor opened up about last year's joke back in March, telling InStyle what she felt when she first heard it live.

"It was so vulgar. I just can't believe that they went there. I was like... it was so gross, it was really gross. And, like, old-school gross," she admitted.

Despite being on good-terms with Che, Johansson wasn't expecting it.

"I was like, I mean, it's a vagina joke, how bad could it be? And then as soon as the Costco photo came up, I was like, 'No! No, Michael!'" she added.

"They were waiting for me to react. I felt insane. I was like, 'I think I'm going to faint'."

Johansson and Jost got married in 2020 and welcomed their first child together in 2021.
