Stephen Colbert has revealed the name of the celebrity who "wanted to have sex with him" during his last ever show.
The 62-year-old was talking with late-night stars Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver on Strike Force Five Returns To Celebrate Stephen Colbert when he shared that supermodel Paulina Porizkova once publicly admitted she had a crush on him.
Colbert, who has been married to Evelyn McGee Colbert since 1993, recalled the moment with disbelief, while other TV hosts collectively reacted: "Oh my God!"
"That was a flex that I've never ever been able to match," he said, per Daily Mail.
The revelation traces back to a 2007 appearance Porizkova made on Good Morning America.
During the interview, host Elizabeth Vargas told the model that Colbert had mentioned her name on his show, prompting a surprisingly direct response from the runway icon.
"If it wasn't for the fact that I'm already very happily married, and so is he apparently, he is just my kind of guy," she said, per Page Six. "He's so hot."
At the time, Porizkova was married to Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, who died in 2019.
The model, now 61, became one of the most recognizable faces of the 1980s and 1990s after appearing on the covers of Vogue and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
She also built a film career with roles in Anna, Partners In Crime, and Dark Asylum.
Colbert wrapped his final run hosting The Late Show, ending an era that lasted more than a decade.
During Thursday night's finale at the Ed Sullivan Theater, many celebrities stopped by to celebrate the host one final time.
Bryan Cranston kicked off the cameos during the host's opening monologue before jokingly storming offstage after learning he was not the final guest. "What the hell am I here for?" he joked.
Paul Rudd later interrupted from the audience, saying: "I'm just curious when my interview starts. I have an extremely long poem I want to recite, and I don't want to run out of time."
Ryan Reynolds also joined the running gag after realizing he wasn't the show's final guest either.
"Ouchie," he said, before adding: "Well, you know, in that case, I'm just happy to be here, you know, pay my respects to one of the world's greatest entertainers on his last night at the Ed Sullivan Theater."
When Colbert thanked him, the Deadpool star quickly corrected him: "I was talking about your keyboardist Corey Bernhard."
The true final guest turned out to be Beatles legend Paul McCartney, who arrived for an extended interview before performing 'Hello, Goodbye' to close the series.
"I was just in the area, doing some errands," he joked after sitting down with Colbert.
He then reflected on his return to the iconic Ed Sullivan Theater, saying: "I just remember the girls in the balcony," before pointing at screaming audience members and adding: "Not you."
Colbert's departure comes after he announced on July 17 last year that Paramount/CBS would not renew his contract, ending the long-running late-night franchise after 44 years on air. The network insisted the move was "purely a financial decision."
However, the announcement arrived just days after the host criticized Paramount/CBS's $16 million lawsuit settlement with President Donald Trump, calling it "a big fat bribe".
At the time, Paramount was also pursuing a multi-billion-dollar merger with movie studio Skydance, a deal requiring approval from the Federal Communications Commission.
