Kristen Bell shares a hilarious promo for the 2025 SAG Awards, revealing her on-screen kiss with Adam Brody, and reminisces about her 2018 hosting debut.

Kristen Bell is gearing up for her return as the host of the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards, and in classic Bell fashion, she’s making sure to have fun with it. In a playful new promo, the actress shares the screen with none other than… herself.

The quirky teaser sees Bell encountering a ghostly version of her 2018 self in the mirror, setting the stage for a hilarious exchange about time, aging, and—most importantly—her on-screen romance with Adam Brody.

Bell’s ghostly counterpart, still living in the past, is stunned to learn that the Veronica Mars star has taken up eating meat (a shocking betrayal to her younger, vegetarian self).

But the real jaw-dropper comes when present-day Bell drops a major revelation: “You get to kiss Adam Brody.”

The past version of Bell, clearly a product of the early 2000s, reacts exactly as expected, knowing full well that millennials everywhere will lose their minds over the pairing.

The kiss in question comes from Bell’s latest Netflix comedy, Nobody Wants This, a hit series where she and Brody share undeniable chemistry.

The show has been a favorite among fans, and Bell’s performance even earned her a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series at this year’s SAG Awards.

The recognition marks a full-circle moment for Bell, who made history as the first-ever SAG Awards host back in 2018 when the event originally had no formal emcee.

Now, she’s back at the helm and ready to celebrate the industry’s best performances with her signature wit and charm.

In addition to her hosting duties, Bell’s promo video is filled with clever nods to Hollywood’s past and present. Her ghostly alter ego excitedly asks about the 2025 nominees, prompting present-day Bell to rattle off some big names, including Zoe Saldana, Ted Danson, and Martin Short.

There’s even a humorous moment when her past self tries to do the math on Bell’s current age—something the actress quickly shuts down.

Of course, Bell’s time-traveling conversation wouldn’t be complete without some industry insight. In a particularly amusing moment, her 2018 self asks for advice on “calling out Timothée Chalamet” because she feels he “could really be something.”

Without missing a beat, present-day Bell smirks and responds, “Solid bet.” With Chalamet now one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, it’s a cheeky acknowledgment of just how much the industry has evolved in the past seven years.

Bell has never shied away from poking fun at herself, and her latest SAG Awards promo is no exception. Whether she’s joking about her own surprise nomination or playfully engaging with a fictionalized version of her past, she knows exactly how to keep audiences entertained.

As for that Adam Brody kiss? It’s a nostalgic dream come true for fans who grew up watching The O.C. and Veronica Mars, two of the most iconic teen dramas of the early 2000s.

The pairing of Brody and Bell on Nobody Wants This feels like a long-overdue crossover, and their chemistry has only fueled the excitement around the show.

Bell couldn’t be happier to step back into the spotlight for this year’s SAG Awards. “Thrilled to be hosting again,” she shared in a statement, adding that she looks forward to spending the night celebrating with her fellow actors.

If her promo is any indication, fans can expect a night filled with sharp humor, self-deprecating jokes, and plenty of surprises.

The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will stream live on Netflix on February 23 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. Whether you’re tuning in for the awards, the jokes, or just to see what Bell does next, one thing is certain—millennials are definitely going to love this.
