Joy Behar pleaded with Sarah Silverman to kiss her as they wrapped up the comedian's interview on The View.
Stand-up comic and actress Sarah, 54, was a guest on the ABC panel show on Thursday where she promoted her latest Netflix special, PostMortem, which debuted on the platform May 20.
But as her appearance came to a close, longstanding panelist Joy, 82, was heard asking the School of Rock star to 'kiss me.'
'It's always fun to see you,' the host remarked seconds before, with Sarah immediately retorting, 'I love seeing you!'
Whoopi Goldberg then gently hinted that something was about to come, as she asked, 'You want to do the goodbye?'
'Kiss me,' Joy quietly insisted to Sarah which then prompted her to lean in for a smooch.
The live studio audience erupted into applause after the bizarre moment and Sarah smacked her lips together.
'We'll all do it,' she added.
Sarah had been in the studio to chat about her recently released stand-up special which she wrote after the death of her father and stepmother, who died just nine days apart from each other in 2023.
Speaking to the panel, she said: 'I recorded a special and before this one, the one before that was coming out as my dad and my stepmom were dying, and so when you're finished with a special, you're at zero again with material.
'I had no material so when I went back to stand-up, that's what my life was, you know, so I literally went from, cleaning up their apartment with my sisters all day to the club and then that's what I talked about.
'It was a good jumping off point because I spoke at my dad's funeral.
'We all wore his clothes. T-shirts and shorts and there were stains on everything.
'And, you know, he was so funny that my eulogy was funny.
'I had so many funny stories about him so that's where I kind of started from when I started over.'
Filmed at the Beacon Theater in New York, PostMortem, according to the official synopsis, follows Sarah as she 'hilariously navigates the absurdities of death with her signature wit, from unexpectedly finding the deal of a lifetime while planning their funerals to cherishing the bittersweet experience of hearing her mother's last words.'
Earlier this month, Sarah shared a shocking revelation her late father Donald told her about how her baby brother, Jeffrey, died.
Sarah had always been told that her three-month-old brother, who died before she was born, had 'suffocated' after he slipped through a space between the mattress and the bottom rail of his crib.
'The story was that something happened with the crib, and Jeffrey's little body slid and he got suffocated,' she recalled to Rolling Stone.
'But if you look back, there was never a lawsuit with the crib company or anything,'
She claims that prior to his death in 2023, Donald told her that he believed the infant was killed by her 'violent' grandfather — Donald's dad — after he 'shook him in a rage.'
