At first, Thompson tells Johansson about National Skat Day. The Feeding America ambassador starts to skat and she quickly realizes that holiday doesn't even exist.

Then Thompson compliments the actress on her "smokey voice," saying she "can make anything sound sexual."

"Really?" she responds, "What if I say 'testicle pickles'? Does that sound good?"

In the next bit, the cast member put a patch over his eye, originally Johannson thought it was him mocking a character in Avengers, but he says, "Not quite. I got popcorn stuck in my eye from watching Furious 7, it was quite furious."

The duo, who are both new parents, decided that wasn't going to get in the way of them having a good time.

"We're the same people, we can still party," said Thompson.

"Absolutely. It's not like I'm going to let having a baby change who I am," the mom of daughter Rose Dorothy replied.

They both downed a glass of white wine and the advertisement cuts to Thompson snoring and Johansson weeping of how beautiful her 7-month-old daughter is. "She's like this whole new person," she said.

Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 ET on NBC and this week's musical guest is Wiz Khalifa.

Along with promoting her new film, Avengers: Age of Ultron, which hits theaters April 30, the actress and SNL cast member, Kenan Thompson, skat and drink themselves through the promos.
