Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon can now add each other to the list of celebrities that they’ve made out with on camera.
The late-night hosts shared a quick peck while kissing and telling about all the celebrity guests that they’ve smooched on camera with their fellow *Strike Force Five* stars Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Oliver.
“How many of you have made out with a guest on camera?” Colbert asked the hosts on Monday’s episode of *The Late Show*.

However, his gaze seemingly lingered on Fallon for just a smidge too long. “Why would you look at me like that?” the *Tonight Show* host asked.
When Colbert explained that he believed Fallon to be the biggest kisser of the bunch, the latter cheekily replied, “No, I think you just wanted to make out with me.”
To prove his point, the pair shared a quick kiss, with Fallon breaking away to fan himself with a paddle. “Did not see that going that [way],” he added.

Colbert then directed the question to the rest of their *Strike Force Five* team, with Kimmel revealing that he once got up close and personal with Regis Philbin. “Not only did I kiss Regis, he chewed my gum,” the *Jimmy Kimmel Live *host remarked.
And, as it turns out, Kimmel wasn’t the only one who shared an intimate moment with the late *Live!* host. “He kissed me on the top of the head,” Oliver said. “It felt like someone in the mafia labeling someone for a hit. It's no way to say goodbye to a human being.”
To which an outraged Meyers interjected, “I met Regis multiple times — he never made a move on me!”

While it wasn’t technically on his show, Fallon recalled making out with Martin Short when the *Only Murders in the Building *star hosted *Saturday Night Live *in 2024. “We had to do a bit where he kissed me or whatever,” he said, before noting that Short personally requested that neither of them use any tongue during their opening monologue kiss.
“I go, ‘Don't worry about it. Of course I wouldn't do it. What are you talking about, dude?’” Fallon remarked. “We do the sketch live. He looks at me. Full-on tongue. Full-on, more than I've ever made out with anyone in high school.”
In the end, it was Colbert who had the longest list of celebrity smooches. “For me, Sally Field, Helen Mirren, Allison Janney, Jeff Daniels, and… Andrew Garfield,” Colbert said, raising five fingers into the air.
“Good list,” Meyers commented.
When Oliver brought up Jane Fonda as another addition to the list, Colbert replied, “Jane Fonda and I did not… We did not make out, but she stuck her tongue in my ear.”
Colbert’s clarification did not help his case. “That's not making out?” the incredulous *Last Week Tonight** *host asked. “That's fifth base in England!”
