Let’s be honest—when it comes to real-life chemistry, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost never disappoint.
And during the epic 50th season finale of Saturday Night Live, they gave fans a little moment of magic that’s still trending online: a surprise kiss on stage that closed out the show with serious rom-com vibes.
Not only did Scarlett become the first woman to host SNL seven times, but she also shared a sweet, totally unscripted moment with her husband that had the internet in its feelings.
From Dino Drama to Date Night Energy
Before the big moment, SNL released a hilarious promo video spoofing Scarlett’s upcoming Jurassic Park film.
The sketch had her frantically running from danger—only to reveal that the “threat” was none other than her husband, Colin Jost, cheerfully pitching a kiss scene.
The absurd scene saw Scarlett slamming doors, bolting herself inside a studio, and literally yelling “No!” when Jost suggested a kiss.
Enter Sarah Sherman, who saved the day (and the comedic timing) by shooting Colin with a tranquilizer dart from the rafters.
Scarlett’s relieved reaction? “Thanks, Sarah!”
The Kiss That Broke the Internet
Fast forward to the end of the live episode, and the tables turned.
Jost, flowers in hand, finally caught up to his wife on stage—and sealed the night with a sweet kiss.
The crowd melted, and so did social media.
Fans couldn’t get enough of the chemistry between the couple.
One person tweeted, “Omg, I’m in tears, Scarlett Johansson & Colin Jost on SNL,” while another wrote, “Power couple energy on full display.”
Others commented on how genuinely in love the two seem: “I hate how I can tell how deep in love they are just by this kiss.”
Another fan summed it up best: “He’s not just the Weekend Update guy, he’s the lead in a real-life rom-com.”
Mike Myers, Photobombs, and Fan Jokes
Of course, no internet moment is complete without a little playful chaos.
Mike Myers hilariously photobombed the couple’s kiss, prompting fans to joke, “Mike Myers looks like he’s saying what about my kiss?”
Some people even called back to the promo skit, laughing that Colin finally got the kiss he was chasing all along.
“They finally got to kiss,” one fan joked, while another added, “Colin’s on-screen kiss finally happened.”
Scarlett’s SNL Skits Had Everyone Talking
The kiss wasn’t the only Scarlett-Colin content fans got.
She also showed up in several other sketches throughout the episode.
In one behind-the-scenes bit, she admitted to having a crush on Bowen Yang—who, in a twist, was pretending to be gay just “for the clout.” Naturally, things spiraled into a wild love-triangle-style sketch featuring Yang, Ego Nwodim, Heidi Gardner, and Emily Ratajkowski.
Oh, and in the Weekend Update segment? Things got even more personal.
As part of their ongoing tradition of writing jokes for each other, Michael Che had to awkwardly apologize to Scarlett on live TV for a past roast beef joke about her.
Yes, you read that right.
A Season Finale with Real-World Romance
Beyond the comedy and chaos, what really resonated with fans was how genuine the couple’s affection felt.
In a show known for laughs, the finale ended on a heartwarming note—reminding everyone that real-life love stories can be just as entertaining as the sketches.
With Scarlett making SNL history and Colin pulling off the ultimate live TV surprise, this season finale gave fans exactly what they wanted: laughter, love, and a moment that’ll be rewatched for years.
