Scarlett Johansson Reads Passages From The Book Of Deuteronomy For "Sexy Bible"

SACRAMENTO (CBS Sacramento) - Mike O'Brien, after departing "Saturday Night Live," remains in the comedy world. He will be releasing his comedy album "Tasty Radio," which will have multiple surprise guests.

Rolling Stone reports one of the tracks is called "Sexy Bible." Scarlett Johansson joins him and begins reading passages from the Book of Deuteronomy on WSEX, Sexy Talk Radio.

O'Brien said, "I've always wanted to do a sketch about the Old Testament, specifically Deuteronomy. The Old Testament is filled with beautiful stuff, but also some weirdly specific, random rules and speeches. Deuteronomy could be called 'Laws for Stuff That Will Never Apply to 99% of Civilization,' like what to do with a dead animal you find [or] what to do to a woman who grabs the junk of a guy who her husband is fighting. [It's] a very funny time capsule of what those guys were worried about back then."

He admits he wanted a female delivering the passages because he felt they were misogynistic and no one wanted to hear a man doing that. O'Brien said there is another improvised skit Johansson did with him that will be released later.

"Tasty Radio" will be released on Oct. 30.
