Scarlett Johansson was owed an apology — and she got one.

Johansson, who hosted this week's Saturday Night Live season finale, dropped by Weekend Update to confront Michael Che about the hilariously obscene jokes he wrote about her for her husband Colin Jost to deliver. (For a reminder, click here.) Well, Jost and Che engaged in another "joke swap" this week, where they write each other jokes to read live on air, sight unseen. And in between jokes, Johansson took a seat beside Che so he could read her a Jost-penned apology to her face.

"Last time we did joke swap," Che told Johansson, "I made Colin do some tasteless jokes comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef." (Oh, she remembers.) But Che admitted: "I was just lashing out because I'm jealous. I've never even seen a human vagina. And notice I said 'human,' because I once spent the summer on a farm." Che offered Johansson a high-five and asked, "You feelin' me?" But no, she wasn't feelin' him.

Che also took a moment to confess he has a lot of insecurities about his body: "I can't even take my hoodie off during sex because I have more nipples than a pregnant dog."
