Scarlett Johansson gets revenge on SNL's Michael Che as he apologizes for THAT vulgar joke about her body
Scarlett Johansson got revenge on SNL star Michael Che as he offered her an apology live on air after penning a vulgar joke about her body late last year.
The Black Widow actress, 40, took on hosting duties for the seventh time on the season 50 finale of the sketch comedy series - and appeared alongside husband and SNL comedian Colin Jost in a few skits.
She made a brief cameo during the Weekend Update segment which Jost and Che co-host together.
Late last year, the pair took part in a tradition where they read jokes they have never seen before that the other wrote.
Colin shared a joke written by Michael and explained Costco had taken the roast beef sandwich off their menu. He then added, 'I've been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kids.'
At the time, Johansson had been backstage and her shocked reaction was caught on camera and later admitted that she thought she was going to 'faint' upon hearing it.
But in the latest episode, Jost and Che took part in the tradition by reading each other's jokes - which came to a stop when Michael suddenly asked Johansson to join them on the set.
'Before I tell another joke, I want to take this opportunity to apologize to someone I hurt,' Michael said. 'Scarlett, can you come out here?'
The actress appeared by the comedian's side with a small smile on her face and then took a seat.
'Last time we did jokes live, I made Colin do some tasteless jokes comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef,' Che expressed, causing Scarlett to press her lips together while sending him a look.
She then smiled and told him, 'Yes I remember that.'
He explained, 'Well, the fact is I was just lashing out because I'm jealous. I've never even seen a human vagina.'
Johansson kept a composed expression as Michael continued, '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.'
'Last time we did jokes live, I made Colin do some tasteless jokes comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef,' Che expressed, causing Scarlett to press her lips together while sending him a look
After the audience responded with laughter at the joke, Scarlett replied, 'Yes, I have heard that about you.'
When the Weekend Update sketch came to an end, Che and Johansson further proved that there were no hard feelings when the pair shared a friendly embrace.
During an interview with InStyle a few months earlier in March, The Avengers actress got candid about her reaction upon hearing the joke 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.'
Johansson shared that she had been giving a heads up about a 'vagina joke' but did not have any idea that she would be referred to.
'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 remembered.
In regards to her reaction being shown backstage, Scarlett revealed that it had been 'so intense.'
'All of a sudden, it was like a whole bunch of people holding up lights, and a guy with a video camera,' she recalled, before adding: 'They were waiting for me to react. I felt insane. I was like, "I think I'm going to faint."'
Scarlett kicked off the season 50 finale episode with her monologue - and was joined by most of the SNL cast on the stage as they sung for the live audience
Scarlett kicked off the season 50 finale episode with her monologue - and was joined by most of the SNL cast on the stage as they sung for the live audience.
'It's been a historic season. I'm so proud to be a part of it,' the star said, and then joked, 'I first hosted this show when I was 21-years-old, so it's crazy to be back here like what, three years later.'
Johansson then began singing about the finale to the tune of Billy Joel's hit track Piano Man.
Cast members such as Bowen Yang, Sarah Sherman and Ego Nwodim also sang lyrics of their own.
At one point, they decided to call on live audience members and Johansson picked on Kenan Thompson who was sitting amongst the crowd.
'Could you introduce me to a dinosaur?' he asked, referencing to her upcoming film Jurassic World Rebirth.
In response, the actress sang, 'I'm sorry that I called on you.'
The monologue concluded as Scarlett and the cast that had joined her on stage belted out, 'The 50th season is through/it's lasted forever we did it together/and we got to spend it with you.'
Johansson had the chance to show off her comedic skills in a number of skits throughout the night, including one where she was also joined by husband Colin Jost.
It began inside the SNL offices with Scarlett chatting with Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner.
The actress explained that she loved Colin but added, 'We're really happy. But it's normal to have little crushes here and there. Especially on someone from the cast.'
She then revealed that she has a crush on SNL comedian Bowen Yang but said, 'Nothing's obviously going to happen. I'm married, he's gay.' However, Ego and Heidi insisted that Bowen was straight.
The pre-recorded sketch then cut to Scarlett entering an elevator with Jost who was asking how her time with the SNL cast was going.
Bowen then appeared and complimented Jost before asking him, 'Do you mind leaving?'
Colin happily agreed to do so and said, 'Yeah, no problem. I'll take the stairs. It's only 30 flights.' He then left, leaving his wife and Bowen alone inside the elevator.
After a few flirtatious exchanges, the two began passionately kissing inside one of the rooms inside the building. Yang then told Johansson to meet him later at 2am at his apartment where he will cook her dinner.

That same night, she arrived to his house only to discover that he had been sleeping with both Ego and Heidi.
After they briefly argue, Bowen exclaimed, 'Screw it, I'm going to Tokyo. Thanks for inventing A.I., by the way.'
Johansson watched as Yang met someone outside of his apartment and realized it was supermodel Emily Ratajkowski which concluded the skit.
Austin Powers actor Mike Myers also made a surprise cameo in one of the sketches during the finale.
It took place as he stepped into an elevator that also had Scarlett and SNL comedian Marcello Hernandez already standing inside.
Hernandez shared that he was a fan before stepping out onto his floor, leaving Johansson and Myers alone inside the elevator.
She played a character named Janice who was also a big fan of the star and she told him, 'I'm Janice, and I love all your movies. My girlfriends and I quote Shrek all the time.'
He replied, 'Oh, thank you. That's a little weird. But thank you. Thank you. Very nice.'
After they briefly argue, Bowen exclaimed, 'Screw it, I'm going to Tokyo. Thanks for inventing A.I., by the way'
Suddenly, they were joined by Kanye West - also known as Ye - who stepped onto the elevator.
Kenan Thompson played the rapper - who has sparked controversy over his anti-Semitic rants and KKK comments on social media.
The next stop was Scarlett's and Mike begged the actress to stay on the elevator.
'You can't leave me alone here with him,' the actor told her, but she replied with, 'I heard he's all right.'
But Johansson ran out, and Myers and West struck up a conversation - which included the rapper correcting the star and emphasizing that his name was now Ye.
The sketch also referenced to a moment in 2005 when both Mike and Kanye took part in a live telethon to raise funds for Hurricane Katrina relief. At one point, the music artist stated that then-President George W. Bush 'doesn't care about black people.'
Another moment was when the elevator broke down and Myers suggested that they jump to see if that helps.
'No, man, I don't like doing crazy,' the rapper told the actor. The skit ended with Mike reaching his floor and quickly exiting.

Bad Bunny was the musical guest for the finale episode but also made cameo appearances in two of the sketches.
In one, he played Scarlett's boyfriend as they enjoyed a night out at a bar. At the same place, Ego Nwodim and Marcello Hernandez also played a couple - but he was trying to get out of the relationship.
Johansson approached their table and explained that it was hers and Bad Bunny's since they have been going there for weeks.
The women then demanded that their boyfriends fight for the table - and both Marcello and the Puerto Rican rapper began to yell at each other in Spanish.
However, subtitles appeared on the screen and humorously revealed that they were both venting about being in relationships that they desperately want to get out of.
Scarlett and Ego occasionally cut in to also yell at each other in Spanish, but when subtitles appeared - it showed that they were speaking random words in the language.
Marcello and Bad Bunny ended up hugging which shocks their girlfriends. But the rapper lied to Scarlett and said that he told Marcello there was no reason to fight and that he should stay with his girlfriend.
Both couples end up leaving the bar - despite both men having just vented about wanting to get out of the relationships.

In a Please Don't Destroy video, both Scarlett and Bad Bunny once again made appearances.
The sketch began as the actress met up with the comedy group consisting of Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy at an SNL office.
They looked downcast and she suggested that they take a trip - via first class - from NYC to New Jersey.
However, amidst the flight, the plane experiences turbulence and technical difficulties, which caused everyone to begin to panic.
The pilots attempted to call air traffic controller - and Bad Bunny answered, but revealed that it was his first day on the job and 'there's like no one here.'
Eventually, the rapper was able to help the plane have a dramatic landing on the runway and they arrived safely in Newark.
The skit ended as the music artist looked at the camera and said, 'You can do anything you put your mind to.'

The rapper also performed two songs during the night - the first being Nuevayol.
He belted out lyrics and recreated a famous photograph called Lunch Atop A Skyscraper which was taken of workers during the construction of the RCA Building.
Bad Bunny also performed Perfumito Nuevo - and was joined by RaiNao as they sang the track.
The set was decked out as a bathroom inside a club and the song concluded when the pair entered the same stall together.

Stanley Cup-winning hockey stars try to hook teammate up with stunning model Sommer Ray amid celebrations
The Florida Panthers are using their Stanley Cup success to try and seal a high-profile girlfriend for one of their teammates... and it's all playing out for the whole world to see. The Panthers sealed back-to-back titles with a 4-2 series win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, and it has been wall-to-wall partying for the players ever since. Amid the wild celebrations, star man Matthew Tkachuk took to social media in a bold bid to try and hook up his teammate Anton Lundell with a girl: none other than DJ and model Sommer Ray. The situation all began to unfold when another of the Florida players - Sasha Barkov - brought Ray, 28, into the conversation on an Instagram Live stream. While wearing the uniform of another of his teammates, Sam Reinhart, Barkov revealed that he has 'two names on my Instagram search'. Revealing more, he said: 'Sommer Ray and Sam Reinhart. But one is by mistake. I typed Sommer Ray because I was trying to type Sam Reinhart.' A few hours later, the model was clearly still on the lips of the team, as Tkachuk took to X to shoot his shot for a young teammate. He wrote: 'Sorry for bothering you @SommerRay... but our friend Anton Lundell says hi!! Great guy' The hilarious exchange all unfolded on Friday night and as of Sunday morning, Ray is yet to respond - despite her comments section being flooded with Panthers fans trying to help out their man. Panthers players, meanwhile, are preparing for yet another parade through the streets of Florida, and it would be no surprise to see Ray mentioned again during the next set of celebrations. The DJ recently went viral after it emerged she had turned down an eyewatering $40million to join OnlyFans during Covid. Speaking on YouTuber George Janko's podcast, she said: 'In that time it was like, every single person in my life was coming to me and telling me, "Sommer, if you don't start an OnlyFans, you're stupid, you're stupid",' she said. '"Like how could you not do that?" 'The money I could make would be insane. Someone was saying, in that time with COVID... they said I could have made $40million or something like that.' Despite her insistence on not joining the adult content website, Ray is not doing badly on her own, with her net worth recently valued at around $8m. Lundell, meanwhile, is currently on a six-year, $30m deal with the Panthers, and he received a signing bonus of $2.5m this time last year.

EXCLUSIVE Experts reveal what 30-year-olds should look like now - and why it's changed
Age is just a number - but thanks to beauty treatments, sophisticated skincare routines, the subtle plastic surgery, that number is getting harder to figure out based on how someone looks. Back in the '90s, the face of a 30-something-year-old looked very distinct, but now, age-reducing procedures and modern makeup techniques has made age a lot more ambiguous. Gen Z TikTok users are regularly expressing their disbelief when they discover a celebrity has a '3' in front of their age - such as when fans were stunned to learn Bridgerton star, Nicola Coughlan, was 37-years-old. In March, fans were left stunned over Anne Hathaway's youthful appearance after the 42-year-old showed off her stunning glow at the Moncler Grenoble Fall/Winter 2025 Show, with the actress throwing people into a tailspin thanks to her flawless skin. And in May, Kris Jenner - who is almost 70 - debuted a new look that left fans gushing that she appeared decades younger. Social media has certainly changed the perception of what middle-age should look like. In the past, TV shows like Cheers or Seinfeld very painted a different image of what a person in this 30s looks like, with many of the characters appearing much older than what it is perceived today of people in their 30s. 'The perception of 30 has changed because cosmetic procedures have become normalized, especially on social media,' Dr. Ann Monis, a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist at Medical Anti-Aging told the Daily Mail about the phenomenon. '[Influencers and public figures are sharing] their injectables, skin treatments and surgical tweaks,' Dr. Monis explained. 'That constant visibility shifts what we think is typical for 30.' Dr. Monis added that the shift isn't just cultural, but psychological as well. 'This is happening because repetition changes how the brain sets expectations,' the medical professional explained. 'When someone sees the same kind of edited or altered face over and over, the brain will then start treating that image as the baseline. It becomes the new 'normal' even though it is not natural or accurate.' She said in the past, people tried to dial back the clock all at once, whereas now, due to a combination of accessibility and new procedures, the change is happening slowly and from an earlier age. 'What used to be considered early signs of aging is now something people feel they need to erase before it fully appears,' Dr. Monis pointed out. Dr. Joshua Korman, a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Korman Plastic Surgery, based in Northern California, agreed, noting that '30 years ago, 50 really was kind of middle age.' 'I think a lot of times middle age may be 70 now,' Dr. Korman, who has worked as a plastic surgeon for 30 years, continued. Dr. Korman claimed the ideal face of a 30-year-old is: 'No pimples and no wrinkles.' '[People are] turning to technologies and medications to make the skin more rejuvenated, even at a young age, like in the 20s and as people approach 30,' he said. Dr. Korman shared that we age in four ways, which can be remedied through various treatments. 'We age with gravity, volume loss, skin texture and dynamic wrinkles, the wrinkles when we smile,' he explained. 'So there's treatments for each one of those things, and surgical stuff really deals with the gravity.' Dr. Monis noted the normalized surgical approach to halting age has resulted in an unrealistic standard being set and normalized - something she personally has noted. 'Patients will bring in filtered photos, not to say they want to look enhanced, but because they believe that's how people their age actually look,' she revealed. Dr. Monis warned this can lead to people constantly aiming for a version of 30 that 'is not even grounded in reality.' 'The constant exposure to curated faces has trained people to see youth as a polished look, not a stage of life,' she said.

The most stomach-churning photos from the infamous poop cruise stuck at sea for days on end
Carnival's 'poop cruise' that saw thousands of passengers stuck at sea for five days as sewage flooded the ship is set to be featured in a new Netflix series. Due to stream on June 24, episode three of 'Trainwreck' - the series that looks at several disasters, will focus solely on the trainwreck - or shipwreck - that was the voyage of the Carnival Triumph in February 2013. The ship was meant to embark on a four day sojourn out of New Orleans, Louisiana throughout the Gulf of Mexico. But, on day four, an electrical fire broke out and turned the entire trip on its head. The accident engulfed the ship's electrical cables in flames. Those cables powered the Triumph's entire electrical system including the power, refrigeration, propulsion, air conditioning and the power to flush the toilets. While at sea they were impossible to repair and the entire cruise ship had to be sustained by a singular generator. As a result, the boat powerlessly drifted in the Gulf of Mexico for four days, completely unable to accommodate its nearly 4,000 passengers with basic needs like food and operational toilets. To make matters worse, with just one day left on their trip, Carnival Captains found themselves unable to steer the ship at all thanks to the power outage. Passenger Tammy Garcia said at the time: 'It wasn't vacation anymore, it was like survival mode. Eat what you can. Snack when you can. It was awful.' The ship was meant to embark on a four day sojourn out of New Orleans, Louisiana throughout the Gulf of Mexico. But, on day four, an electrical fire broke out and turned the entire trip on its head. Pictured: passengers set up camp on the decks of the boat to avoid the foul smell of their cruise-mates' plumbing Since the cruise was spontaneously increased by four days, staff also quickly ran low on food. The lack of refrigeration made dining limited, passengers documented the slivers of ham on mustard-soaked stale bread that they were served to survive Carnival Triumph (pictured) powerlessly drifted in the Gulf of Mexico for four days, completely unable to accommodate it's nearly 4,000 passengers with basic needs like food and operational toilets Because of the fire, passengers operated completely in the dark and were forced to poop into red biohazard bags and pee in the showers. One passenger, Rian Tipton, told People at the time that some people snubbed the biohazard bags altogether and continued to use the out-of-order toilets. 'Toilets started to overflow and so were the trash cans! People were literally peeing and pooping in the trash cans. 'The worst that I've heard is people going into the public bathrooms and seeing feces on the wall,' she said. The sewage system became overwhelmed by the outage and even began leaking thousands of people's excrement into the floors and hallways. Passengers set up camp on the decks of the boat to avoid the foul smell of their cruise-mates' plumbing. Passenger Robin Chandler, who boarded the cruise to celebrate her birthday said: 'The stench was awful. A lot of people were crying and freaking out.' Since the cruise was spontaneously increased by four days, staff also quickly ran low on food. The lack of refrigeration made dining limited, passengers documented the slivers of ham on mustard-soaked stale bread, looking very similar to the legendary Fyre Festival cheese sandwich, that they were served to survive. One passenger said the food was one of the worst parts, but nothing could compare to the toilet situation. 'The worst thing was the toilets. Going in them little red bags and we just had to put them in the trash. It got to the stage when they said if you have to urinate go in the sink or the shower. 'I'm looking forward to getting to a flushing commode. The cold onion sandwiches were pretty bad too,' the passenger said. After days of ruined plans, rationed food and powerless nights, insanity started to creep in. Passengers made help signs, drew on robes and bedsheets to document the disaster. They had to rely on themselves for comfort and entertainment since the amenities they'd paid for were long gone. Help finally arrived on Valentine's day, February 14. Tug boats ushered the floundering ship for the Gulf to a nearby port in Mobile, Alabama, miles away from the cruise's original docking point. Because of the fire, passengers operated completely in the dark and forced to poop into red bio-hazard bags and pee in the showers 'I feel like I can survive anything now,' said passenger Kendall Jenkins after the horror story she endured on board. 'I just feel so blessed to be home.' Buses to take guests from Alabama the original port left early February 15. It took several hours to disembark the ship with only one elevator in operation. In a statement to Daily Mail this week, Carnival officials said: 'The Carnival Triumph incident over 12 years ago was a teachable moment for the entire cruise industry. 'A thorough investigation following the incident revealed a design vulnerability which was corrected and led Carnival Cruise Line to invest more than $500million across our entire fleet in comprehensive fire prevention and suppression, improved redundancy, and enhanced management systems, all in support of our commitment to robust safety standards. 'We are proud of the fact that since 2013 over 53 million guests have enjoyed safe and memorable vacations with us, and we will continue to operate to these high standards.' In the trailer for the episode, Netflix teases even more drama. Passengers and employees recount fights breaking out aboard the boat and dozens of people suing for mental distress.
