Stephen Colbert is kissing "The Late Show" goodbye.
The late-night host has been on a hilarious smooching spree during his second-to-last week on the air, kissing several guests in recent days. On May 12, Colbert sat down with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Pedro Pascal and wound up kissing both of them on the lips to the delight of his studio audience.
The makeout mania started on Monday, May 11, when Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and John Oliver appeared on "The Late Show." As the five compared notes about hosting late-night shows, Colbert asked if they've ever made out with a guest and noted he has done so a few times.

So when Louis-Dreyfus stopped by the following night, she asked Colbert's producers to play a clip of this discussion and suggested, without words, that he should add her to the list of guests he has kissed.
"What could possibly go wrong?" the "Veep" star said before the two shared a kiss, eliciting cheers from the studio audience. "Well, the interview's going great so far," the comedian quipped.
Not to be left out, when Pascal walked out as the second guest, he playfully put his finger on his lips, indicating he wanted the Louis-Dreyfus treatment. Colbert, stopping himself in the middle of a sentence, didn't hesitate, and the crowd again erupted in cheers as they kissed.
"I got jealous!" Pascal joked, to which Colbert said, "No need! Anytime. These lips will soon be free."
Colbert also shared a kiss with Fallon during Monday's "Late Show." When he asked his late-night peers if they've made out with a guest, Fallon jokingly suggested Colbert wanted to kiss him. Colbert quickly leaned into the bit by smooching the "Tonight Show" host.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus reprises 'Veep' character for Colbert sendoff
Meanwhile, Louis-Dreyfus used her presumably final Colbert appearance to revive one of her most iconic characters: Selina Meyer from HBO's "Veep."
The Emmy-winning actress explained that in honor of the end of "The Late Show," she asked the writers of "Veep" to craft farewell remarks from Selina, the hilariously foul-mouthed and cruel vice president from the HBO comedy.
After the "Veep" theme played, Louis-Dreyfus as Selina delivered a vulgar roast of Colbert, saying she thought he was Rachel Maddow, mocking him for not pronouncing the T in his last name and more.
"Your cancellation gave Donald Trump so much pleasure, I always think of you as the Stormy Daniels of late night," she said. "When my people said I should come and say farewell to you, I was hoping it would be more of a hospice type situation."
When does 'The Late Show' end?
The final episode of "The Late Show" airs on Thursday, May 21.
Colbert has not released his schedule of guests for his final week of shows, but on May 14, he'll sit down with David Letterman, the former host of "The Late Show." Both Fallon and Kimmel will be going dark for the night of Colbert's last show.
