SNL fans go wild over Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost's adorable moment during season finale
Saturday Night Live fans are gushing about Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost's sweet onscreen kiss as they closed out the show's 50th season finale.
The actress, who shares a three-year-old son, Cosmo, with her husband, broke a record as she became the first woman to host the show seven times.
In a promo clip for the episode, Johansson, 40, screamed at the top of her lungs at the thought of kissing her 42-year-old husband, who she married in 2020.
The hilarious sketch, clearly inspired by her upcoming Jurassic Park film, shows the Avengers star running in terror as Jost chases her.
However, by the end of Saturday's episode, Jost finally caught up with her and secured his kiss after presenting his wife with a big bouquet of roses.
Fans went wild on social media for the smooch, raving about the romantic moment between the couple.
'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.
Others poked fun at how Mike Myers appeared to photobomb the sweet moment
'Mike Myers looks like he's saying what about my kiss,' one person said.
Some fans joked that Jost finally got his kiss after trying so hard in the promotional clip.
'They finally got to kiss,' one person said. 'Colin's on screen kiss finally happened,' said another.
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 at the top of her lungs, '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!' Sarah, clad in a hunting costume, says.
'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.
The couple shared several other onscreen moments together during the season finale episode.
Jost and Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che returned to their annual season-finale tradition of writing and being forced to deliver wildly inappropriate jokes for each other.
Johansson is the subject of many of the Che-written jokes, so this year, Jost compelled Che to bring her out and apologize for once comparing part of her body to 'Costco roast beef.'
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.

How Brad Pitt's favourite watch got its own starring role in F1
Brad Pitt may be best known for appearing in some of cinema's biggest blockbusters, but as a figure in the public eye for nearly four decades, he's also no stranger to scrutiny when it comes to his style choices. Alongside the clothes on his back, his hoard of statement watches has been well documented. And with the release of this season's high-octane motor-racing movie F1, Pitt's interest in horology is set to be centre stage again. The film, which is co-produced by Lewis Hamilton, stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, who returns to the track to reclaim his lost glory following a spell in rehabilitation. But long before the movie's premiere this month — for which IWC is the sponsor of the fictional racing team and supplied all the timepieces — watch aficionados were caught up in a speculative frenzy when images of Pitt found their way into media channels. What had them bamboozled was a mystery green-dialled watch that was perfectly colour-coordinated with Pitt's elegant Sunspel sweatshirt and leather holdall. Theories swirled as to whether this was a 'prop' watch or something with more substance. It turned out to be the latter. 'Some time ago I got an email from somebody called 'BP' and I discarded it at first, until my team asked me if I had got an email from Brad Pitt,' says Chris Grainger-Herr, the CEO of IWC, recalling his astonishment when the actor got in touch. Pitt's message concerned the watch he thought his character should wear in the film, and a particular IWC model would be the only one up to muster. He requested an IWC Ingenieur SL 1832, a vintage 1976 model by Gérald Genta — often considered the godfather of modern watch design — who was also responsible for the cult Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. 'He was very specific — he wanted it half as thick as the original and a special dial colour,' Grainger-Herr adds. Pitt also requested that the modifications involve his jeweller, Cloister Watch Co in New York, which is famed for its customisation work. The dial Pitt chose, a moss green that is his character's signature colour in the film, never existed in the original Seventies iteration — and was what had watch fanatics scratching their heads. Ingenieur Automatic 40, IW328908, £11,100, Christian Knoop, IWC's creative director, and his team were so taken with this one-off 'fictional' watch designed by the actor that they decided to launch their own tribute to his timepiece. The result is a contemporary spin on Pitt's remodelled vintage design, which still retains the Seventies swagger of the film version with a slick, integrated bracelet and angular case, but has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern watch, including a high-spec self-powered movement that will keep ticking for 120 hours off the wrist. And that green dial has been given a textural upgrade with a grid-like finish. 'With this re-engineered model, we brought back the aesthetic codes of the original 1976 Ingenieur SL 1832, pairing them with the ergonomics and finishing of a luxury sports watch for today,' Knoop explains. And with only 1,000 being produced, you'll need to move like an F1 champ to get your hands on one before the chequered flag is waved.

Stressed Bill Belichick seen drenched in sweat with Jordon Hudson after rushing through airport to catch flight
Bill Belichick got so hot and flustered during a race to make a flight to Las Vegas on Wednesday that he was sweating through his clothes. Pictures obtained by Daily Mail show the six-time Super Bowl winner and 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson stood at their gate after sprinting through the terminal at Charlotte Douglas International airport. The couple were hoping to make a plane from North Carolina to Las Vegas but their efforts had left Belichick, 73, drenched in sweat. The pictures show the UNC coach and his younger girlfriend talking to a member of airline staff with a huge sweat patch all the way down his back. Unfortunately, he had chosen to wear a light grey hoodie which meant his perspiration could be clearly seen from distance. Belichick was obviously tense as he was seen arriving at the gate at 6:58am, just 16 minutes before his flight to Las Vegas was due to depart. Witnesses also claim that Belichick hadn't even had time to put on his socks, such was the rush he found himself in. Fortunately for the couple, they were allowed to board their flight. They even packed some extremely sparkly luggage as Hudson posted a picture of them wearing their respective championship rings. Tagging their location as Las Vegas, one of Belichick's Super Bowl rings and Hudson's cheerleading equivalent were both front and center of the picture. The purpose of their trip was to attend the grand opening of Tom Brady's Hall of Excellence museum at the Fontainebleau in Sin City. Two days later, Hudson posted a picture of her soaking up the sun in a bikini in California. She was lying on a sunbed with a cocktail in hand and plenty of delicious food next to her. Earlier this week she took a sly jab at Belichick 's ex partner, Linda Holliday, in a sentimental Instagram post, where she name-dropped 'Nantucket Socialites'. Hudson's post was primarily about Melissa Sapini, last year's Miss Massachusetts who relinquished her title this week to the new winner, with Hudson paying tribute to her friend's time on top on Tuesday. The long, sappy post included a jab at Holliday near the bottom, after Hudson gave Sapini tons of shout-outs. 'I know you will keep shining, metamorphosing and taking up space; even when others threaten you and insist that you don't belong, e.g. the "Nantucket Socialites"' Hudson said. Hudon's jab is in reference to an incident where Holliday did not like Hudson and Sapini coming to a certain Nantucket Christmas party late last year. Belichick, 73, and Holliday, 61, broke up in September 2023 after 16 years together. He met Hudson on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021.
