During the latest ‘Weekend Update’ on Saturday Night Live, Colin Jost had some playful and pretty wild jokes about his wife, Scarlett Johansson, who was watching from backstage.
As part of a bit where Jost and co-host Michael Che wrote jokes for each other to read live, Jost used a “Black voice” to crack jokes about Johansson, including her recent 40th birthday and their newborn son. For some reason, this SNL segment has led to increasing curiosity about Scarlett Johnnsson’s supposed pregnancy.
Why Are Fans Looking Up “Is Scarlett Johansson Pregnant SNL” on Google?
First things first. Scarlett Johansson is not pregnant as of December 2024.

Plus, all the attention and reaction shots focused on Johansson could have fueled curiosity and speculation about her status, making the question about her being pregnant trend online.

On December 21, 2024, during the winter finale of Saturday Night Live, Colin Jost found himself in a tricky spot. As part of the show’s biannual tradition, Jost, 42, and his Weekend Update co-host, Michael Che, had to read jokes they’d never seen before, designed to get them in trouble. This segment often leads to some cringy moments, and this time, it was Jost’s turn to take the heat with jokes about his wife, Scarlett Johansson, who just turned 40.
The segment started with Jost nervously addressing his wife, “Hey boo, y’all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday, which means I’m about to get up out of there!” He quickly tried to backtrack with, “Nah, nah. I’m just playing,” but the next joke took an even sharper turn. He quipped about their son, Cosmo, saying, “We just had a kid together, and y’all ain’t see no pictures of him yet ’cause he Black as hell.” Watching the segment live with a camera on her face, Johansson grimaced and said, “Oh my God,” as the audience burst into laughter.
The awkwardness didn’t stop there. Jost read another joke that went, “Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from their menu,” then followed it up with, “But I ain’t tripping, I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.” That line had Jost burying his face in his hands, clearly horrified, while Johansson looked visibly shocked backstage. The lines quickly went viral, with people joking that Jost might be in serious trouble at home, while others called out the segment for crossing a line.
This whole thing felt like a throwback to that joke swap during the season 49 finale in May. Back then, Jost joked about Scarlett Johansson’s role in ‘Her,’ saying, “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?” The joke hit differently since it also played off the real-life drama between Johansson and OpenAI, adding some extra spice to the punchline.
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, who’ve been together since 2017 and tied the knot in October 2020, are parents to their three-year-old son, Cosmo. Johansson also has a ten-year-old daughter, Rose Dorothy, from a previous marriage. Even though things got a little awkward on SNL, the couple has often shown off their fun, supportive relationship in public.
