Scarlett Johansson sealed the end of Saturday Night Live‘s milestone season 50 with a kiss — from husband Colin Jost!
At the very end of the May 17 episode — which the actress, 40, hosted with Bad Bunny serving as the musical guest — Johansson received a large bouquet of red roses and a passionate smooch from Jost, 42.
The kiss sent the audience at Studio 8H into a loud applause, as various SNL castmembers could be seen jokingly reacting in disgust in the background, including James Austin Johnson and Emil Wakim.
Jost previously suggested that he and Johansson should share a kiss during the finale episode in a Jurassic Park-themed promo that aired days prior.
“Hey, babe. I had a sketch idea I wanted to pitch you. Maybe it’s one where we, I don’t know, finally kiss?” Jost asked, as Johansson then screamed, “No!” Sarah Sherman was next seen, shooting the Weekend Update anchor in the neck with a dart.

Johansson and Jost started dating in 2017. They got engaged in May 2019 and then married in October 2020. They are parents to a 3-year-old son, Cosmo, and the actress is also a mom to daughter Rose Dorothy with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
Elsewhere during the May 17 episode, Johansson got payback on Michael Che after the comedian made Jost read a joke about her on the show’s winter finale last year — when the pair swapped jokes they had written for each other, but had not seen prior.
At the time, Jost said, “Costco has removed their roast beef sandwich from their menu, but I ain’t tripping, I be eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.” Johansson then appeared shocked backstage, mouthing, “Oh my God.”

Johansson joined the pair during the most recent Weekend Update, where Che, 41, said to the mom of two, “Last time we did joke swaps, I made Colin do some tasteless jokes, comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef,” then adding, per the joke written for him by Jost: “I was just lashing out because I’m jealous. I’ve never seen a human vagina. Notice I said human, because I once spent a summer on a farm.”
Saturday Night Live will return later this year on NBC.
