Welcome to Tuesday’s Episode Guide! This show was intoxicating and alluring and it was all due to some smooching between Stephen and Dame Helen Mirren! Let’s check out the highlights.

Stephen asked the audience if they were Feeling the Bern and there was a lot of applause! Senator Sanders recently dropped bombshell - he has only smoked pot twice.

  • Senator, you do know who your supporters are. I will tell you this much. They have smoked marijuana twice…since I started this sentence.

The group of candidates for 2016 Presidential Race have been getting smaller. The last candidate to drop out was “Ambien American” Dr. Ben Carson. You know what that means, Hubsters! Another round of “The Hungry for Power Games.” Stephen was looking good in a pink wig, pink eyebrows, and a shiny silver blazer has he said farewell to Carson. There was a new addition to this “Hungry for Power Games” - the voiceless eunuch, Andro, who appeared from under the desk to refresh Stephen’s champagne. As Andro squirted the champagne into Stephen’s glass, the blast was too much and it went everywhere, mostly on Andro’s face. Stephen tried hard to hold back his laughter!

Then the moment we’ve all been talking about came. The lovely Dame Helen Mirren walked out onto the stage and planted a kiss on Stephen, which made him speechless for a moment. After collecting himself, the two had a lovely interview. Mirren said she had been dreaming about kissing Stephen for 15 years and she just grabbed her chance. Who could blame her?! Dame Mirren, you are a true hero to us! Stephen enjoyed the Dame’s kiss and told her, “You really know what you’re doing.” Helen Mirren is - in a word - cool. She’s got an air of coolness all around her. Mirren shared some very interesting stories and since she is a British guest, Stephen brought out a tea set and the two sipped some English Breakfast while they talked. When the interview ended, Stephen couldn’t resist going in for another kiss! Let’s hope we see Helen Mirren many more times on the Late Show!

A farewell kiss at the end of the interview!

J.J. Abrams was guest number two. Stephen and Abrams discussed story telling and how to emotionally engage people in a story. Abrams’ wife, Katie (good name), told him to cut back on lens flares in his movies and he has. Stephen congratulated him on the enormous success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. They discussed his new film 10 Cloverfield Lane and showed a terrifying clip from the movie.

The Australian band, DMA’S, made their national television debut performing “Delete” off of their new album “Hills End.”

    I just have one thing to say about Helen Mirren interview: that’s one hell of an entrance. And the end of the interview was nice, too.

  • Gina

    It was like Make A Wish for Helen Mirren Night! Kissing him seemed to be the highlight of her everything. Smart lady. She needs to come here on the Hub and give us all a Makeout ReporT.

    I have a network of fangirls (we are like the Harriet Tubmans of the Stephen Underground Railroad), and the Stephen Emergency Broadcast System was going off when the show teased the kiss last night. I will say compared to how embarrassed Stephen used to get about these antics he is a lot more comfortable. I think that is a good thing.

    The Hungry for Power Games with Andreau was also ridiculously funny. That champagne all over the place was so hilarious. Andreau had a nice, uh, costume.

  • Katt

    Good thing Helen Mirren wasn’t in the blanket fort. It would have burned down!

  • Erika Bade

    Besides the obvious thoughts I have, I’m also pleased because my local talk radio station was abuzz about the kiss and interview! I want Stephen to stay true to himself and not go after ratings, but when something hits I’m still really happy!

  • Ivy in Berlin

    The second kiss was even better, need gifs of that to put my head in.

  • llama

    I haven’t watched Helen Mirren about 200 times already. Why do you ask? She’s wonderful. Very lucky lady. She got two kisses!!
    I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how much I love Andro. Please make him a regular character!!

  • K.V. Lady

    I am shipping Helen and Stephen so hard
