After the joke was delivered, the camera panned to Scarlett Johansson, who was backstage for the SNL episode. She called this moment “intense,” and it made her feel like she was going to “faint.” Johansson compared it to the movie To Catch a Predator.

Scarlett Johansson shared what she really made of husband Colin Jost's viral SNL Weekend Update joke about her from December. In case you missed it, Colin had to read jokes that his co-host, Michael Che, wrote while live on air (and vice versa). One of the jokes Colin read was about Costco's roast beef sandwich being removed from their menu.

Referring to the joke as “so vulgar,” Johansson also recalled being swarmed by cameras backstage to capture her reaction to it in real-time. “All of a sudden, it was like a whole bunch of people holding up lights, and a guy with a video camera,” she said. “They were waiting for me to react. I felt insane. I was like, ‘I think I’m going to faint.'”
