NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Pedro Pascal wanted a kiss from none other than Stephen Colbert, and he finally got it during an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' Not just a cheek kiss, but a kiss on the lips.

Pascal was not the only one. Julia Louis-Dreyfus also got her kiss, as both stars playfully hinted at feeling a bit jealous after 'The Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon shared a kiss with Colbert the night before.

It all began on Monday night, May 11, when several late-night hosts, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, and Seth Meyers, reunited with Colbert on 'The Late Show.' During the segment, Colbert surprised everyone by kissing Fallon, leaving Fallon visibly confused and laughing at the unexpected moment.

Pedro Pascal kisses Stephen Colbert on ‘Late Show’

Stephen Colbert’s playful kiss moments with Jimmy Fallon and Julia Louis-Dreyfus led Pascal to jokingly say he felt “jealous” and left out. Colbert, being the gentleman he is, did not want to leave his guests disappointed.

During the Tuesday, May 12, episode of 'The Late Show,' he made sure both guests got their moment. First, Julia Louis-Dreyfus joined the playful exchange after joking about Fallon’s moment with Colbert.

Then Pascal, who was the second guest, directly asked for the same by gesturing toward his lips to show he wanted a kiss too. The audience quickly understood what he meant, and Colbert did as well. Without hesitation, Colbert leaned in and kissed him on the lips before smoothly continuing the conversation.

“I got jealous,” Pascal quipped, to which Colbert responded, “No need! Anytime. These lips will soon be free.”

The moment kicked off when all the major late-night hosts appeared on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' for a crossover segment that quickly turned chaotic in the best way.

During a game, the group was asked, “Have you guys ever made out with a guest on camera?” Stephen Colbert immediately locked in on Jimmy Fallon, which prompted Fallon to ask, “Why would you look at me like this?”



Colbert fired back, "Cause I think you’ve made out with guests on camera,” and Fallon clapped back, “No, I think you just want to make out with me.” And then things fully escalated. Colbert leaned in and kissed Fallon on the lips, leaving him visibly shaken but laughing, as Fallon reacted, “Wow! Did not see it going there.”

Later, Colbert admitted this was not even new for him and said he has shared similar on-air kisses with guests like Sally Field, Helen Mirren, Allison Janney, Jeff Daniels, and Andrew Garfield. He also added, “Jane Fonda, we did not make out, but she stuck her tongue in my ear.”
