Colin Jost and Michael Che continued their lively banter on Saturday Night Live, participating in their annual December tradition of writing jokes for each other. This time, Che added a twist by introducing a special guest, making it more challenging for Jost.
Introducing Dr. Hattie Davis:
Che humorously presented the special guest, Dr. Hattie Davis, describing her as a “poet, author, activist.” Davis had last appeared on the show 46 years ago during Season 3.
Colin Jost’s Challenge:
Despite knowing that Che’s jokes might pose a challenge, Jost took it in stride. He embarked on reading the jokes, aware of the potential difficulties, all while maintaining his composure.
Jost’s Movie Theater Quip:
Jost tackled one of Che’s jokes, remarking on New York state allowing movie theaters to serve alcohol. He added a personal touch, mentioning how it enhanced his experience of watching his wife’s “little art movies.” A playful jab at Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow was seamlessly woven into the narrative.
Cringeworthy Moment:
The punchline, comparing Scarlett Johansson to Coretta Scott King, drew a disapproving reaction from Dr. Hattie Davis, adding a touch of awkwardness to the exchange.
