Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che continue their annual Christmas tradition of swapping jokes, forcing each other to read increasingly outrageous and controversial material live on air without prior knowledge. This year's twist had Che requiring Jost to deliver his jokes in "Black voice" to avoid "getting into trouble," with Jost awkwardly repeating "I ain't afraid of you mofos!" after each punchline. The segment featured multiple jokes aimed at Jost's wife Scarlett Johansson, who was backstage watching on a monitor and visibly reacting with shock - even letting out an audible "oh shit" that made it past the censors. The camera captured her genuine reactions throughout, including shaking her head in anticipation and yelling "why?!" The joke swap covered controversial topics including race, relationships, and celebrity scandals, with both anchors squirming through their deliveries while the audience erupted in shocked laughter.
