Saturday Night Live fans went wild after Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost shared an on-screen kiss as they closed out the show's 50th season finale.
The actress, who shares a three-year-old son with the SNL star, broke a record as she became the first woman to host the show seven times.
In a promo clip for the episode, Scarlett, 40, screamed at the thought of kissing her husband, 42.
The sketch, inspired by her upcoming Jurassic Park film, shows the actress running in terror as Colin chased her.
But by the end of the episode, he'd caught up with her and secured his kiss after presenting his wife with a big bouquet of roses.
Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the romantic moment.
'Omg, I'm in tears, Scarlett Johansson & Colin Jost on SNL,' one person said. 'Power couple energy on full display,' said another.
'They always bring great energy together,' a third person said. 'I hate how I can tell how deep in love they are just by this kiss,' said a fourth.
A fifth person said, 'Sweet gesture from Colin—classy way to celebrate Scarlett's SNL spotlight!'
'He's not just a Weekend Update guy, he's the main character in a real-life rom-com,' added sixth.'
The promo clip is titled 'Scarlett Johansson Is Saved From Colin Jost By Sarah Sherman,' and begins with SNL stars Heidi Gardner and Mikey Day talking about their summer plans.
A thundering pound interrupts their conversation and sets off an alarm and ominous flickering red lights.
Scarlett then dashes into the frame and screams, 'Run! Run!', ignoring Day as he welcomes her back onto the show and pushes him out of the way of a door.
She runs inside the double door and bolts it shut with a pole, before cowering in terror as the mystery adversary bangs at the door.
'No, please!' she pleads.
Suddenly, the moment is interrupted by the arrival of her husband, who cheerfully greets her and places a hand on her shoulder.
'Hey, babe! I had a sketch idea I wanted to pitch you. Maybe it's one where we, I don't know, finally kiss?' he suggests nervously.
Scarlett then screams: 'No!'
Out of nowhere, her husband is shot in the neck with a dart by Sarah Sherman, who is hiding in the rafters.
'Thanks, Sarah!' Scarlett says, clearly relieved.
'Anytime, Scarlett!' says Sarah, clad in a hunting costume.
'That was just a tranquilizer, right?' Scarlett inquires.
'Oh, I have no idea. Che just handed this to me and said, "Take care of Jost?"' Sarah replies, referencing Colin's Weekend Update co-host Michael Che.
Alarmed, Scarlett goes to her husband's side - but is repulsed when he suggests a kiss in a gargled voice.
'Nope!' Scarlett says.
Jost also appeared in a pre-recorded, behind-the-scenes bit where Johansson has torrid sex with Bowen Yang after she confesses to Edo Nwodim and Heidi Gardner that she has a crush on him, and learns he has only been publicly pretending to be gay 'for the clout'.
Johansson has her heart broken when she learns Yang also has been hooking up with Nwodim, Gardner, and guest star Emily Ratajkowski.
