LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Kit Harington got down on one knee onstage Sunday to propose to Andy Samberg in an attempt to make a memorable moment during the 2016 Emmy Awards.

"Now it's a party," Samberg said to kick things off. "I came here in a limo," Harington added before both of their attention was directed towards Bloodline star Kyle Chandler who was looking on in the audience.

"No, I won't kiss you, Kyle Chandler," Samberg said with Harington chiming in, "Yes, I will kiss you Kyle Chandler." As cameras panned over to Chandler he was last seen laughing at the bit.

To cap things off, Harington then bent the knee and popped the question. "There's something else I want to celebrate tonight with you, Andy," the 29-year-old said with a ring box in his hand. "What, Kit, what are you doing? Here at the Emmys? I do!" Samberg, 38 quickly replied.
