'Saturday Night Live' star Colin Jost was forced to mock his wife, Scarlett Johansson, during his famous 'Weekend Update' segment.

Last night, Jost and his 'Weekend Update' co-host, Michael Che, performed their last show of 2023 -- which means they had to write jokes for one another to deliver live on stage before either party had the chance to read them -- meaning the delivery of the punchlines are all authentic.

When speaking on the new New York law that allows movie theaters to serve alcohol, Jost said that would be the only way he could get through ScarJo's "little art movies" as a photo of Johansson as Black Widow appeared in the corner of the screen.

Jost could barely keep a straight face when delivering the line that Che wrote for him.

"I'm kidding, honey. I love all of your movies," Jost said, continuing to read from the teleprompter, clearly not knowing what would come next.

"And if you ask me, you're an even better Black widow than Coretta Scott King," he said as he, once again, could barely keep a straight face.

Michael Che also brought out a (fake) civil rights activist to sit next to him as he delivered all the racist jokes Che wrote for Jost. Of course, it is all out of good fun, and we can't wait to see what Johansson has to say about it all!

When appearing on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' in 2021, the 'Black Widow' star admitted that planning her wedding "was a little stressful."

"Colin, as you know, is very fortunate that he has his grandparents still with him and there are several people in their 90s in his family. The Josts live forever! They live so long! And it's crazy," the actress said, adding, "and they are lively and vibrant, and they were at our wedding and so obviously we wanted to take every precaution that we could, so we had the masks made [that said] 'Josts 2020.' And everybody had to get tested 100,000 times,' she explained of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

The Marvel star also spoke to PEOPLE at the time, explaining why they opted for a small, intimate wedding.

"I think just keeping it intimate and small made it feel intentional," she told the magazine at the time. "We wanted it to feel like it had an intentional intimacy as opposed to being something that felt like we were restricted by all these things."

She brought up how important it was to ensure the wedding ceremony was safe and aligned with the COVID-19 pandemic protocols, expressing, "We were just so happy to be able to celebrate with our family. Some people we hadn't been able to really see so much over this past year. So that was really special ... We felt really fortunate that we were able to do it."
