Hope she got permission!

Halle Berry planted a wet one on writer/actor/producer Lena Waithe during the opening of Waithe's gig as fill-in host for Jimmy Kimmel on Live and it was wild!

The bit goes like this ... Lena says she needs some inspiration for hosting because she's nervous and Kimmel's sidekick Guillermo suggests Lena press "the Halle Berry button." Waithe does it, and Halle appears to give her a pep talk: "Lena, you know I know you, right? We've worked together. So I know that you are a force of nature. You are a beautiful African American queen," she said. "Lena, tonight you are a writer, an actor, a producer and tonight you are a late-night comedian. You about to slay this show! And you are already winning, girl, because you are dressed way better than Jimmy ever was."

Then Berry goes in for the kill!! Watch (above)!
