Che concluded the segment by playfully trolling Jost about his movie star wife,Scarlett Johansson. Then Jost continues reading, cracking:
“New York State now allows movie theaters to serve alcohol, which is how I’m finally able to enjoy my wife’s little art movies.”
He added,“I’m kidding, honey. I love all of your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better ‘Black Widow’ than Coretta Scott King.”In response, he received a very disapproving nod from Davis.
