- Following Che's script, Jost made his wife, Scarlett Johansson, into the punchline of his last joke.
- "It was announced that Creed singer Scott Stapp will play Frank Sinatra in an upcoming movie," Jost began, referring to the upcoming Ronald Reagan biopic.
- He continued, "The good news is Sammy Davis Jr. will be played by Scarlett Johansson."
- The joke alluded to the actress' past casting controversies, which have led people to accuse her of "whitewashing" roles and "erasing" transgender actors.
