Waithe was filling in for Kimmel on Wednesday night, but the screenwriter/producer/actress could not help confessing that she was “a little nervous.”

It was Waithe’s first time hosting a late night show, and she told Kimmel’s co-host Guillermo that she needed some words of encouragement.

“We can push the Berry Button,” Guillermo offered, adding that the button is pushed “when you need something berry important.”

The shocked “Masters of None” star held her hands out as the audience erupted into cheers and whistles.

Guillermo pushed the button and out came Berry, 52, in a skimpy top and denim.

“I need some inspiration,” Waithe, 34, told the Oscar winner. “I need you to give me some of that Halle Berry juice.”

Berry then proceeded to hype Waithe up for her late-night hosting gig:

"Lena, you know I know you, right? We've worked together. So I know that you are a force of nature. You are a beautiful African American queen going after everything that is hers! Lena, tonight you are a writer, an actor, a producer, and tonight you are a late night comedian and you 'bout to slay this show. And you already winnin' girl 'cause you are dressed way better than Jimmy ever was.”

“Now, you good or do you need something else,” Berry asked Waithe, and when the latter answered in the affirmative, she disagreed.

“I think you need something else,” Berry added before pulling Waithe in for a passionate kiss.

“Wow!” was all Waithe could manage for a few seconds after the surprise smooch.

Waithe, who has been engaged to film production executive Alana Mayo since 2017, posted a clip of the kiss on her Instagram page, sparking a slew of shocked reactions from some who felt it was inappropriate.

“Alana gave me a pass,” Waithe told a concerned fan.

It appears the kiss was all for fun, however, because immediately after, Berry had Waithe promote her new movie, “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.”

The “X-Men” OG stepped out two weeks ago alongside her “John Wick” co-star Keanu Reeves and Berry effortlessly stole the show in a sheer jumpsuit that showed off her ample cleavage and incredibly toned frame.
