Halle Berry Gave Lena Waithe a Big Kiss on Her First Night Hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!

#jaiyeorie

The actress stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she surprised guest host Lena Waithe . Luckily Waithe was prepared for that possibility and pushed on the “Berry Button”, which summoned the Oscar-winning actress to the stage. Berry appeared and asked Waithe, “Baby, what can I do for you?”
“I need some inspiration. Like that Oscars speech you gave, that got me hyped,” Waithe replied. “I need you to give me some of that Halle Berry juice.”


Berry complied and launched into a heartfelt, inspirational monologue for the guest host. “Lena, you know I know you, right? We’ve worked together, so I know that you are a force of nature,” Berry said. “You are a beautiful African American queen.”

She continued, “Lena, tonight you are a writer, an actor, a producer and tonight you are a late-night comedian. You about to slay this show!” If that moving speech didn’t get Waithe pumped, Berry gave it one more go: “And you are already winning, girl, because you are dressed way better than Jimmy ever was.”


She looked at Waithe a moment and said, “I think you need something else.” She then planted a big old kiss on Waithe, before pulling away and declaring to Waite: “Now you’re good!”


While it’s unclear whether the kiss was planned or impromptu, Waithe was happy to share the moment on Twitter as a teaser for her hosting gig. Clearly, Waithe needs to be given her own talk show soon so she can push “The Berry Button” any time she wants or needs or just feels like it.
