Saturday Night Live closed out its 50th season on a high note — but not without raising some eyebrows. Scarlett Johansson hosted the May 17, 2025, episode while getting the ultimate revenge on Michael Che for his previous “Weekend Update” sexual joke about her, which husband Colin Jost had to deliver at the time. During her monologue, though, fans noticed that one SNL cast member was mentioned to be leaving the show. So, by the end of the season finale, fans were convinced that this was the last episode for at least one of them. Is it true, though?

The talk of the night was when Scarlett took the “Weekend Update” chair to get back at Michael for a joke he made Colin say earlier this season.
“Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from their menu, but I ain’t tripping, I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid,” Colin said at the time while reading Michael’s joke.
During the season 50 finale, Michael invited Scarlett to the table to formally apologize and to read aloud jokes that Colin made him say.
“Before I tell another joke, I wanna take this opportunity to apologize to someone I hurt,” Michael began. “Last time we did joke swaps, I made Colin do some tasteless jokes, comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef. … I was just lashing out because I’m jealous. I’ve never seen a human vagina. Notice I said human, because I once spent a summer on a farm.”
