Saturday Night Live returned from its six-week winter break and wasted no time giving the audience what they want.
Apparently, all they (the audience, that is) really want is for The Office star John Krasinski to reprise his role of Jim and make out with his on-screen girlfriend, Pam.
That’s the setup established during Krasinski’s opening monologue, but since Jenna Fischer was nowhere to be found, Pete Davidson stepped in to play the part of Pam.
Turns out the audience liked that even more.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Watch below, with the kiss coming in around the 4:05 mark:

Where did Pete get that sweatshirt? It’s a gorgeous color.

A passionate kiss??? Apparently who ever is writing this doesn’t know what a passionate kiss even looks like!! A passionate kiss includes mouth opened and maybe even tongue! Their months were closed !!! That’s what we call a peck! A peck is NOT news!!

This reeks of gay desperation. I don’t think Pete or John are high on the list of guys gays are dying to see kiss.

Agreed…

Clickbait af.
Since when do you define passion as tightly holding your lips together to make sure they don’t part? You’re just trying to reel in the clicks from anyone who didn’t catch it on SNL.

why?

Passion.exe has stopped working.

Another example of straight guys using gays as a punchline. I thought we had moved on from this.

Passionate? HELL NO. That’s a typical straight dude dare kiss. zzzzzzzzz

Why is Queerty pointing this up as though it’s cute or funny? In fact, it’s a prime example of one of the oldest variants of showbiz homophobia: men kissing as funny / daring / shocking. Unless the headline is “When will SNL grow the f*** up?” this has no place here.

Not so much ‘when will SNL grow up?’ more ‘when will SNL be funny?’. As a non
US person I’ve been amazed for years as to how this show can be so popular, lousy ‘jokes’ and a baying audience!

Uh Pete is sexy as f8ck, just something about him. I also don’t think he’s 100% straight.

I can think of only one person who comments on here who would find this passionate.

Queerty.. the queen of clickbait.

You could have just shown the awkward, uncomfortable 3 second kiss, we didn’t need the rest of the unfunny 4 minutes.
