Julia Louis-Dreyfus had workplace sex on the mind and musical guest Nick Jonas was just the right person to turn up the heat on Saturday Night Live.

The 55-year-old Emmy-winning Seinfeld and SNL alum and Veep star hosted the NBC show Saturday and appeared in a pre-taped sketch that saw her playing housewife who ends an affair with her pool boy, played by Pete Davidson, 22. She soon sets her sights on a gardener, played by Jonas, 23, who is seen showcasing his famous muscles in a printed tank top and wiping his brow.

"Hello?" she asks.

"Whatup?" Jonas replies.

"Where's Philip?" she asks.

"Oh, my uncle just hired me," he explains. "I'm going to be doing your house now. I'm Toby."

"I'm gonna f--k that kid," she says, smiling, then makes her way towards him.

This marked the third time the actress has hosted SNL. She was an cast member in the '80s and recently told The New York Times that she worked in a "very sexist environment."

After the show, Louis-Dreyfus and Jonas hugged it out, as seen in a photo she posted on Instagram.

"Appearing with my boyfriend @nickjonas on @nbcsnl 'was complicated' but such a blast!" she wrote. 

During the episode, Jonas performed two songs—"Close" and "Champagne Problems."

Louis-Dreyfus also took part in a political sketch that saw her reunite with Larry David, 68, executive producer of Seinfeld, who also played George Steinbrenner on the cult '90s comedy series.

He reprised his recurring SNL role as Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, 74, and took part in the Brooklyn Democratic debate with competitor and party frontrunner Hillary Clinton, played by cast member Kate McKinnon, 32. Louis-Dreyfus reprised her Seinfeld role of Elaine Benes and posed two questions for Sanders.
