SNL comedian Michael Che apologises to Scarlett Johansson for crude vagina joke as she gets payback
It's payback time.
Scarlett Johansson and her husband, Colin Jost, got revenge against Michael Che on Saturday Night Live after he compared her vagina to roast beef last December.
During the comedians' 'Weekend Update' segment, Jost and Che swapped jokes they wrote for one another.
'Before I tell another joke, I wanna take this opportunity to apologise to someone I hurt,' the Top Five actor, 41, said, prompting the Black Widow actress, 40, to appear onstage.
'Last time we did joke swaps, I made Colin do some tasteless jokes, comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef,' Che continued.
Johansson sarcastically replied: 'Yes, I remember that.'
The That Damn Michael Che star then said, per the joke written for him by his SNL co-star, 'I was just lashing out because I'm jealous.
'I've never seen a human vagina. Notice I said human, because I once spent a summer on a farm.'
Jost, 42, then made Che read jokes about him not being able to take his hoodie off during sex because he has 'more nipples than a pregnant dog.'
Johansson added, 'Yes, I have heard that about you.'
Last December, Che made Jost read a vulgar joke about his wife's post-partum lady parts when they swapped quips during their weekly sketch comedy segment.
'I want to dedicate this next joke to my boo, Scarlett Johansson,' the comedian hesitantly said, as the camera cut to the Marvel star, who was watching from backstage.
'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 … Nah, nah, I just playin' baby. You know I don't go downtown! Shiz! That's gay as hell!' he added.
Johansson's mouth dropped open while listening to her husband's lines.
The following month, the Pop Culture Jeopardy! host said the Avengers: Endgame actress was 'obviously surprised' when she heard their quips.
'I'm in trouble, I think, with a lot of people,' he said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in January.
'Scarlett was genuinely so shocked,' he shared, adding that the SNL team gave her a heads-up.
'They were like, 'Hey, would you be OK if Michael [Che] made a little, like, kind of vagina joke at some point?'' he recalled.
'She was like, 'Sure, you know, whatever, I'm open to it.''
However, Jost confessed he 'didn't know where it was going, and then the graphic came up for Arby's.'
Jost and Johansson met on the set of SNL when the actress hosted an episode in 2017. They tied the knot three years later.
They are parents to three-year-old son Cosmo, whom they welcomed in August 2021.
The Lucy star is also a mum to daughter Rose, 10, whom she shares with ex-husband and French journalist Romain Dauriac.

'Sarah + 2' Sarah Vaughan
The sassy Sarah Vaughan cut countless definitive albums. From working alongside big bands and orchestras to her bebop combos and trios, you'd be hard-pressed to find a bad LP from 'The Divine One'. By the 1960s, she was a household name having successfully brought her jazz chops into the realm of popular music and despite her fame, she never put the brakes on her jazz projects. After singing on a string of record dates for arranger Quincy Jones, Vaughan decided to strip things back in '62, forming a trio around guitarist Barney Kessel and bass player Joe Comfort. This simple rhythm section really brought Vaughan's vaunted voice to the fore - and her intimate takes on ballads and classic standards certainly showcases the depth of her dynamic voice.
