Scarlett Johansson's Fear of SNL's Brutal Joke Swap Segment: A Terrifying Tradition for the Actress

Scarlett Johansson, a Saturday Night Live (SNL) Weekend Update co-host and actress, has revealed her fear of the annual joke swap segment between her husband Colin Jost and Michael Che during SNL. During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Johansson shared that she 'blacked out' during the segment due to its brutal nature. In this tradition, each man writes offensive jokes for the other to read live without seeing them beforehand. Johansson often becomes the target of these jokes and described it as a terrifying experience.

During one instance, Jost made a joke about OpenAI's voice assistant feature being similar to Johansson's character in Her, but without her body present. Johansson admitted that she didn't remember this specific segment due to the intensity of the moment. The couple tied the knot in October 2020 and share a son together, while Johansson also has a daughter from her previous marriage to Romain Dauriac.

The joke swap segment is known for its offensive nature and can be brutal for those involved. Johansson's fear of being targeted during the segment highlights the intensity of this SNL tradition.

  • Deception (50%)

The author quotes Johansson as saying she 'blacked out' when she saw the photo, implying that she was so shocked and offended by the joke that she lost consciousness. However, reading further into the text, it becomes clear that what actually happened was that Johansson simply didn't remember the specific segment because it made her uncomfortable. This is a form of sensationalism and emotional manipulation.
