Scarlett Johansson revealed she 'blacked out' after the extremely crude joke from her husband, Colin Jost, during a comedy sketch.
The 39-year-old Black Widow star sat down with Kelly Clarkson during her talk show yesterday (11 July) where she opened up about the 42-year-old comedian's joke swap segment on Saturday Night Live last month.
The 'Weekend Update' segment in question saw Colin and fellow funnyman, Michael Che, swap jokes.

The Avengers actor referred to the bit, which saw the pair write down offensive jokes for each other to read live on air without seeing them beforehand, totally 'brutal'.

"That’s like a tame version if you guys have ever seen the jokes," Scarlett, who is commonly the punchline of at least one joke during that segment, said.
She continued: "As soon as they showed my picture, I...
"I actually don’t remember that segment. I fully blacked out."
The joke saw 42-year-old Colin read out: "ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in Her.

"Which I’ve never bothered to watch, because without that body, what’s the point of listening?"
Reflecting on the show, Scarlett told Kelly: "It is brutal, I feel like every year it gets worse."
She joked: "We need to, like, go into witness protection that night. Like, I am absolutely terrified we’re gonna be like, targeted. It’s so bad."

The pair tied the knot back in October 2020 and share a two-year-old son, Cosmo, together.
Scarlett recently discussed her relationship on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (8 July) where she teased that Colin makes a cameo in the 2024 romantic comedy, Fly Me to the Moon.
"Greg Berlanti, who’s our director, is a huge fan of Colin’s. And Colin, like, I think he had to do it because it’s, like, in our prenuptial agreement,” she joked. "If I ask him to do something, he has to be there to support me. He has to be in every one of my films."
Scarlett also revealed that her hubby helps her prepare for her various acting roles, continuing: "I run lines with him – which is great, you’d think that would be very convenient because you have a partner there to help you out, to learn your lines for tomorrow or whatever.

"He really commits to the line-reading, and it’s not always the performance I want it to be. I’m like, 'Just say the lines!'"
The Black Widow star also shares a daughter with ex-husband Romain Dauriac
