- Pedro Pascal and Stephen Colbert kissed on Tuesday's episode of *The Late Show*.

- The *Mandalorian* *and Grogu* actor said he asked for a kiss because he was "jealous" after seeing Colbert and Julia Louis-Dreyfus kiss during their interview earlier in the show.

- Colbert said there was "no need" to be jealous, adding, "These lips will soon be free."

What? You thought Pedro Pascal was going to witness Stephen Colbert and Julia Louis-Dreyfus share a kiss during their *Late Show** *interview and *not* ask for a smooch of his own?

The *Mandalorian and Grogu** *star did just that on Tuesday’s episode, sitting down with Colbert before tapping his lips with his index finger.

“Nice to see you again. What a pleasure to have you back. People may not know…” Colbert began, before trailing off as he noticed Pascal’s gesture.

A silent conversation then unfolded between the pair, with Pascal raising his brows before ultimately appearing to laugh off the suggestion. Colbert, in turn, threw his hands up before leaning forward and exchanging a quick peck with Pascal as the audience cheered.

Pascal then shared the reason behind his request. “I got jealous,” he confessed, to which a laughing Colbert replied, “No need! Any time! These lips will soon be free.”

The pair’s kiss came on the heels of Colbert and Louis-Dreyfus sharing their own smooch on Tuesday’s episode. During her interview, the *Veep* actress brought up the comedian’s recent revelation that he’d made out with several high-profile guests on his show over the years.

Colbert and Louis-Dreyfus, who are both married, proceeded to share a hilarious moment in which they tiptoed around the idea before throwing caution to the wind and kissing each other.

“Let’s just cut all of that and start over, shall we?” Louis-Dreyfus asked afterward. Colbert cheekily responded, “Why don’t we just do another take?”

With their respective kisses, Pascal and Louis-Dreyfus join what we’re calling Stephen Colbert’s Smooch Club (SCSC). They join a star-studded group that includes Sally Field, Helen Mirren, Jimmy Fallon, Allison Janney, Jeff Daniels, and Andrew Garfield.

Tuesday’s *Late Show *episode also marked the second consecutive day in which Colbert has been kissed. On Monday, he exchanged a smacker with Jimmy Fallon while discussing their histories of onscreen make-outs.

After Colbert suggested that he believed Fallon was the biggest kisser of them all, the *Tonight Show* host teased that Colbert had focused on him because “you just wanted to make out with me.”

The pair then kissed, with a flustered Fallon admitting, “Did not see that going that [way].”
