comedy Stephen Colbert The Late Show Late Night Julia Louis-Dreyfus TV Veep Selina Meyer roast final episode

Julia Louis-Dreyfus made a brief but unforgettable return to ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ on Tuesday night, not to promote her new film ‘The Sheep Detectives’, but to deliver a ‘Veep’-style roast as her iconic character, Selina Meyer.

Colbert had previously revealed that he kisses certain guests on-air, sparking Louis-Dreyfus’ jealousy. She jokingly demanded a kiss before unveiling her surprise tribute: a scripted roast written by the ‘Veep’ writers in Meyer’s signature style.

Dressed in character, Louis-Dreyfus launched into her roast, targeting Colbert’s last name, appearance, and career:

"I’ve been on this show multiple times, and I always thought you were Rachel Maddow. Are you not?"

She continued with:

"Your cancellation gave Donald Trump so much pleasure, I always think of you as the Stormy Daniels of late night."

The most memorable line, however, came when she referenced the circumstances of his farewell:

"When my people said I should come and say farewell to you, I was hoping it would be more of a hospice-type situation."

This last jab sent Colbert into uncontrollable laughter, with an audible snort breaking through his composure.
