Colin Jost sparks backlash for ‘racist’ joke about Beyoncé on SNL
On Saturday Night Live, Michael Che and Colin Jost continued their annual December tradition of sharing a series of jokes. The banter took an edgier turn as Jost crafted some cringe-worthy jokes that appeared ‘racist’ to the audience, especially one targeting Beyoncé. Che delivered the punchline, joking about Beyoncé’s appearance in a chrome Versace dress and platinum blonde hair, quipping that she looked so “white” that he was finally attracted to her.
Taking the humor a step further, Che welcomed a “very special” guest, Dr. Hattie Davis, exclaiming her credentials as a poet, author, and activist. However, the surprise turned out to be Scarlett Johansson, leading to more scripted jokes about enjoying alcohol in movie theaters and Jost playfully comparing his wife to Coretta Scott King, calling her a “black widow.”

The duo’s penchant for controversial humor, particularly with racial undertones, is not new, and this year’s performance added to their history of pushing boundaries. Criticism surfaced on social media, with one user expressing disapproval on X (formerly Twitter), stating that Michael Che and Colin Jost struggle to produce decent material and often resort to delivering blatant racist jokes on Weekend Update.
