WATCH Kate McKinnon Finds Excuses to Touch Chris Hemsworth in “SNL” Promos

Chris Hemsworth is set to make his "Saturday Night Live" debut.

Ahead of his hosting gig, the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" star filmed a series of promos with Kate McKinnon. Like many hot-blooded women, McKinnon is in awe of People's sexiest man alive. In fact, she's speechless. "I think you have a line. Just say that, right there," Chris instructs her. "Just say, 'We're so happy to have you here.'"

Nope. Not gonna happen.

In another bit, McKinnon seizes the moment to recreate an iconic movie scene. "There's something I've always wanted to do, and you're the perfect host: I want to attempt the 'Dirty Dancing' lift," she admits. Hemsworth agrees, then puts her in a chokehold. "You've never seen 'Dirty Dancing,' have you?" McKinnon wonders.

McKinnon gets her revenge in the next promo.

"I'm actually crazy strong for a woman," she reveals. "Do you wanna arm wrestle?"

Hemsworth plays along, and within seconds of linking hands, a diabolically charming McKinnon exclaims, "Woo! Gotcha! I just wanted an excuse to touch you. It's a classic Kate trick. I touched the Hems. You saw it."

In the final bit, McKinnon gives Hemsworth a pep talk as he stares at small weights.

"Come on, bitch! Own that. You own that! You be the change! You earn it! Think about every time someone told you you couldn't do it! Think about every time someone told you that [Liam Hemsworth] was the hot one, not Chris! They were wrong!" McKinnon screams, as Hemsworth repeats her advice. "Get it bitch!"

Hemsworth's "SNL" episode, with musical guest Zac Brown Band, airs March 7 at 11:30 p.m. He follows Season 40 hosts Dakota Johnson, J.K. Simmons, Blake Shelton, Kevin Hart, Amy Adams, Martin Freeman, James Franco, Cameron Diaz, Woody Harrelson, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Bill Hader, Sarah Silverman and Chris Pratt.
