Well it's not just that Scarlett Johansson is Colin Jost wife but the joke also refers to how she was cast in Ghost in the Shell to play a part that was originally Asian so she was accused of whitewashing. So her playing Sammy Davis Jr was in reference to that
What makes that particular situation really wild is that was the one time where most of the people in Japan shrugged and didn't care about the casting choice because the only human part of the character left was her brain. She was a total conversion cyborg who had been through a number of different bodies throughout her life going back to her childhood when she had a fatal disease and all they could save was her brain. During the Manga, TV series, and animated movies she has been in multiple bodies with different appearances. To me the worst possible offender of that mess is Hachi: A Dog's Tale which moved the entire story to the US starred Richard Gere and the only thing left Japanese was the dog breed.
that whitewashing drama was kind off dumb being that she plays a robot/ android the only part were they messed up is by showing her human form still as Scarlett , if they had an actual asian actoress for the human part than i think a lot less drama would have happened because its based on a anime and in it the Android is white.
@@joeribaars5481 yeah I agree about the whitewashing drama being made into a bigger deal than what it actually was but in this context I think it was funny how they were ribbing Colin.
The queue card joke is hilarious if you read the actual card. It says something like the Harriet Tubman biopic was released last Thursday but don’t worry it was recaptured and returned to its rightful owner.
@Brad & Lucy React The joke about Scarlet Johansen playing the part of Sammy Davis jr. had to do with the fact that Colin Jost is married to Scarlet Johansen.
I love your guys reactions!!! This is amazing. I am definitely not a "PC" type of person, so these jokes are so great to me. No Tru harm meant and they are so funny. Keep doing what you do!
Colin is married to Scarlett Johansson although I think at the time they were just dating. Love the chemistry between Colin and Michael. Awesome segment. Also guys I think there is a lot more out there.
I love watching you guys. I makes me homesick for the pacific northwest. You guys definitely have that vibe. My late husband and I would cut up like the two of you.
This was simply brilliant, a lot of crying going on over here and a lot of spilt drinks lol. Also, what they're doing is a great way of getting away with shit without getting cancelled. I fuckin love it! haha!
This was GREAT .. Thankyou to the Best Reaction Couple on UA-cam ‼️ Brad & Lucy. Keep them Coming & Don’t forget my Reaction Requests - in-Time .. there are also Classic Robin Williams Interviews on The Tonight Show, w.Johnny Carson .. You Both should React too .. also some of Robin Williams Standup as well. Cheers 🍻 & Keep Laughing..
@@bradlucy In addition to the Ghost in the Shell blowback (where she played an originally Asian character), she also pulled out of a movie ("Rub and Tug," I think), where she was to play a transgender character. She was criticized for potentially taking roles that could have been given to underrepresented minorities that might not otherwise have a chance to headline a project.
@@paulwright6044 It's not entirely her fault if she gets cast for a particular role. The movie companies want a big name to star in their films. Is it right that she's portraying a character that was originally another race? No. But the execs want that star power. If she had said no to GITS, they would have hired another big star who likely would have been white also.
love your reactions. the very first time they did this was at a Christmas show launching the holiday break the audience didn't know what to do, had no reactions, so they had to explain the whole thing to the audience. after that it was such a big hit. they did it every year after normally the Christmas show.
Lucy, you were absolutely 'on it' in the Intro (Greg?). 😂 Weekend Update has been the best part of SNL for decades (even Jimmy Fallon failed to destroy it). Not as good as Weekend Update, but pretty good sketches are: _Meet Your Second Wife - SNL_ ua-cam.com/video/MJEAGd1bQuc/v-deo.html (5m:6s) and _Close Encounter - SNL_ ua-cam.com/video/PfPdYYsEfAE/v-deo.html (5m:46s) Best Wishes. ☮ It's juvenile, and late for Christmas, but maybe try _NPR's Delicious Dish_ ua-cam.com/video/bPpcfH_HHH8/v-deo.html (6m:13s) a parody of NPR radio, with Alec Baldwin. It takes a couple of minutes to get going, though.
Brad we get to a certain age and tech level where we just want to sit down and pee. 1. A longer break from the wife. 2. Just one more level 3. Might as well poop eventually.
That Scharlett Johanson joke was just a jab at Colin because he dates her. Or used to. Don't know if you guys know who Scharlett Johanson is in Canada? Don't know if you have seen any of her movie, but she is an actress here in the U.S.
You're seriously telling people she's an actress? Who doesn't know she's an actress. She a major part of one if not the most successful movie franchises (MCU) ever. Also, she was the lead in Ghost in the Shell, which was originally a Japanese character. That's the real meaning or context behind the joke.
How racist do Michael's jokes for Colin have to get before Colin finally says, "Nope. I'm done with this segment."? It really seems like Michael is trying to push him to that point with these joke swaps, and Colin just keeps going with it.
All jokes aside, the Popeye's chicken sandwich would be a MUCH better president than Trump was. So, a democrat making this sandwich their running mate actually would not be a deal breaker for me. I'd still rather have a competent democrat in the Oval Office with a younger competent Democrat as VP, but if I have to settle for the Popeye's chicken sandwich being a heartbeat away from the presidency instead of Trump being president for the next four years, I can live with that.
Michael Che’s ‘shocked’ reaction to his own jokes is sublime!
😂😂😂 they are golden together

It helps that Colin and Michael have really good chemistry considering they're good friends in real life.
The Black Superman compilation was it for me😂😂😂. SAVAGE ONE

a joke inside of a joke. lol.
You guys are so amazing. It’s really amazing when you see two people that obviously love each other. Thank you from Georgia!
I see you two have fallen into further debauchery!! I love it🎉😂
I’ve watched this video probably
40 times. Funny every time!
Weekend Update is the funny part of SNL. 😂
@Brad & Lucy React The joke about Scarlet Johansen playing the part of Sammy Davis jr. had to do with the fact that Colin Jost is married to Scarlet Johansen.
They do this every Christmas, so there are plenty more jokes that they swap with each other.
I would also highly recommend weekend update Sarah Sherman picking on Collin Jost is very funny.
Y'all are so silly. Love it.
I love your guys reactions!!! This is amazing. I am definitely not a "PC" type of person, so these jokes are so great to me. No Tru harm meant and they are so funny. Keep doing what you do!
This reminds me of getting stoned with my parents, subscription earned.
You guys are great!
Colin is married to Scarlett Johansson although I think at the time they were just dating.
Love the chemistry between Colin and Michael. Awesome segment.
Also guys I think there is a lot more out there.
I wait for a joke swap every mid season !

Brad's jokes are going to the shitter
You should never try to drink anything while watching Weekend Update.
They do it usually during Christmas and the end of the shows season
10:33 The joke is, he, Colin Jost, is married to Scarlett Johansson.
Ahh, we did not know that 🤣
Also she was in Ghost in shell where she played a character which was originally Asian

They only do this in the episode closest to Christmas as a "gift" to each other. Scarlet Johansson is married to Colin Jost..
Greetings guys awesome reaction. Collin Jost is married to Scarlette that's why Che wrote that one lol.
That and also the fact that she played the lead character in Ghost in the Shell which was originally Japanese.
Those are just compilations of a few they did entire segments it's hilarious
Colin Jost is actually Scarlett Johanson's real life husband
I learned to sit down to do all of my business. No big deal.
Colin Jost is married to Scarlett Johansson... Michael tends stab fun at this from time to time. Lucky Colin. I wonder how he pulled that one off...

Lol, you peeing in snow, all you see after is like a sprinkler had been on. 🤣😂 Little hard to write when spray goes from side to side. Hah
Collins wife in real life is Scarlett Johansen.
Colin is married to scarlett, some how.
Brad we get to a certain age and tech level where we just want to sit down and pee.
1. A longer break from the wife.
2. Just one more level
3. Might as well poop eventually.
😁🤣
10:41 Scarlett J. is Colin Jost's then Girlfriend, Now Wife
These people are baked!
Here's another one you may wish to react to. Mitchell & Webb - Conspiracy Theories
Am i really high or are these two really high? 😂
*new to the channel
Had to roll one for this!
I never found the joke swaps for 2022. If you can copy and paste it please do👊

Norm Mcdonald was funnier . RIP Norm.
In your opinion! Humor is subjective.
No , the only opinion that matters is mine .
Funny AF

The purpose is to show more of the video, not the 2 of you. Think about it or watch anyone doing these types of videos.
no
