Comedian made ‘brutal’ joke referring to star’s private parts as ‘roast beef’ after she gave birth. Colin Jost has revealed his wife Scarlett Johansson’s real response to his “brutal” joke about her on Saturday Night Live. The Black Widow star, 40, was left open-mouthed in horror as her live reaction was filmed for the show’s 2024 Christmas special last month.

Among the jokes about her age and childbirth, the comedian made a dig about the star’s vagina. “Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from its menu, but I ain’t tripping. I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid,” he said to an eruption of laughter from the audience.

During an appearance on Tonight with Jimmy Fallon on Monday (20 January), the host asked if the gag had got him “in trouble” with his wife. “I’m in trouble I think with a lot of people,” he said. “Scarlett was genuinely so shocked.”. Jost revealed that although Johansson was “obviously surprised”, the show’s team had attempted to soften the landing by giving her a heads up.
“They were like, ‘Hey, would you be okay if Michael made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?’” Jost said. “She was like, ‘Sure, you know, whatever, I’m open to it,’” Jost said. He admitted that he “didn’t know where it was going, and then the graphic came up for Arby’s.”.
