Georgia's outgoing House Rep. Jack Kingston is on a farewell tour highlighted by being Stephen Colbert's final "Know Your District" Congressman interview in a segment that aired Tuesday night.

Kingston is special to Colbert because he was Colbert's first subject of his long-standing segment back in 2005. Ultimately, Colbert talked to 81 different congressional reps over the years.

"The Colbert Report" ends its nine-year-run on Comedy Central Dec. 18. Colbert will shed his conservative talk show persona and just be himself to take over for David Letterman next year on CBS.

Kingston, a conservative Republican who represents the Savannah area, is stepping down as well after a failed Senate run. He told Colbert he isn't sure what he is going to do next but didn't seem all that excited about Colbert's suggestion they open a pop-up Halloween store.

Nonetheless, the two had fun goofing around, with Colbert joking about the whole "first" thing, providing his chlamydia results to Kingston, who then said, "I know I was your first but was I your favorite?"

Kingston, who co-sponsored a Lena Horne recognition bill in the House in 2012 (that died in the Senate), failed to recognize photos of the late singer - both young and old versions. After Colbert sang a snippet of one of her songs, he said, "You have a pretty voice."

"You have lovely hands," Colbert offered.

They then goofed around the House building hallways, stealing a bust of Lincoln, riding around in a dustbin, sliding down railings and fake-stenciling their initials into a railing. They fake fished in the U.S Capitol reflecting pool and rode in a tandem bike to the Alice Cooper song "School's Out."

Here's the first interview they did back in 2005:
