SNL fans go wild as Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost kiss in finale
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.

Bikini-clad Courtney Stodden devours a plant-based patty to celebrate National Veggie Burger Day
Courtney Stodden drew strong reaction while absolutely sizzling as she celebrated National Veggie Burger Day. The model, 30, devoured a plant-based patty in a sexy mesh bikini as she basked in the sunshine against a barbeque. The juicy burger was used as a prop as Courtney shared a duo of seductive photos, including one of her arching her back seductively. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Courtney - who is nonbinary and uses she/her and they/them pronouns interchangeably - boasted her decision to go plant-based as 'sexy AF'. 'It's National Veggie Burger Day, and we're serving plant-based realness hotter than the grill, honey,' Courtney, who often poses in swimsuits, began in the caption of the Thursday post. 'Being a woman who chooses compassion with a side of sass? That's power. That's control. That's main character energy. We're not just eating clean — we're eating consciously, seductively, and with the full force of our feminine fire. A veggie burger isn't just a patty - it's a whole damn statement. 'It's 'I don't need meat to be fierce.' It's 'Yes, I'll take the avocado, and no, I won't apologize for it.' It's juicy, messy, bold, and unapologetically good for your body and the planet. 'Whether you're rocking heels or hoodies, your choice to eat plant-based is sexy AF - because nothing's hotter than a woman who gives a damn. 'So spice up your ketchup game, and take a big, bossy bite of that veggie burger. Let the juices drip like you run the world - because, babe, you do. 'Salty. Sultry. Sustainable. For the baddies with brains, hearts, and a plant-powered bite.' The post contained two sultry bikini snaps of Courtney, and a video of the star taking a messy yet satisfying bite out of the burger. The post earned the praise from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), whom commented: 'Preach, vegan queen (applause and crown emojis) What a beautiful description of the fierce radiance that shines within us when we make compassionate choices. Keep on changing the world and saving animals, one veggie burger at a time (burger emoji).' 'I love my peta family,' Courtney replied. Courtney is a long-time supporter of PETA and in 2014 even served veggie hotdogs wearing a miniscule lettuce bikini in Washington, D.C. 'Going vegetarian made me feel great inside and out, and I'm eager to help PETA inspire people on Capitol Hill to give vegetarian food a try,' the starlet stated in a PETA media alert at the time. She added: 'Veggie dogs are delicious and kinder to animals, the environment, and our health than artery-clogging, meaty hot dogs are. The choice is easy to make!' Courtney drew other strong reaction even besides PETA as she had plenty of support in the comments section of the post. Another wrote: 'U make those look so out for veggie patties.'

American Pie star Jason Biggs admits to snorting cocaine out of a trash can
American Pie star Jason Biggs has opened up about his past battle with drugs and alcohol - which saw him doing cocaine out of a trash can. The actor, 47, admitted to going on cocaine benders in a brutally honest interview on the Well With Arielle Lorre podcast this week. He said: 'I knew when I needed to call the coke dealer because I was gonna drink too much, and how much Ambien to take or benzos to take based on how much coke I'd had so I'd come down but hopefully not die.' After shooting to fame at 19 in the American Pie franchise, Biggs boasted that he had, 'money in the bank, coke in my pocket and nobody saying no to me.' He added: 'It was [amazing] but I was also aware of crazy that was.' The actor admitted to getting so blacked out during coke and booze-fueled benders that he'd forget what he did the night before. Sharing how dark his addiction became, Biggs admitted to hiding his drug use from his wife Jenny Mollen, who he married in 2008. He added: 'I was drinking a lot by myself and using a lot by myself and not telling my wife. 'I took advantage of her... I felt like I was able to put things past her and I did,' he then admitted that he would stay up into the early hours of the morning drinking alcohol and doing coke after his wife went to bed. At his lowest point, Biggs found himself doing drugs out of a trash can. Sharing the unbelievable story, the actor said that he was up snorting cocaine at 4am while his wife slept when he decided to throw out the bag, which still had some coke in it, to make himself stop. He threw the bag inside the trash in his kitchen and tried to go to bed, only to return fifteen minutes later to dig it out and do another line. In his second attempt to discard the bag, he went outside and put it in the large trash bins out the front of his Hollywood home. He initially planned to pop an Ambien and go to sleep, but soon the temptation of another bump became too much to resist. Biggs said: 'I went outside and I climbed into the bin and got the bag of coke out and went upstairs and did another line.' Fed up with his behavior, Biggs then got into his car and drove down Sunset Boulevard until he found a random house. Rifling through their garbage, the star found a discarded Starbucks cup with some coffee left in it at the bottom. He put the bag of cocaine inside and closed the lid, before tossing the filthy cup back into the bin and leaving. Biggs drove home, but turned the car around and returned to the garbage to fish the bag of coke out of the cup so he could do another line. He said: 'I drove back home and finished the bag of coke. 'I could've just easily opened the baggie and dumped it down the toilet, but I didn't. I knew I was gonna finish that bag the moment I got it, but I kept playing this game with myself.' The father-of-two became sober in 2017 and celebrated his first year of sobriety with a touching post in 2018. At the time, he wrote: 'I first tried to get sober over 5 years ago, when the weight of my obsession with booze and drugs became too heavy for me to handle. 'Turns out this sh*t is hard. After some fits and starts, I've managed to put together one year of sobriety. I'm as proud of it as anything in my life. 'If you're struggling, know there's help. Don't be ashamed. We can do this.'
