The superstar news anchor has something in common with Stephen Colbert: an obsession with D&D that's lasted well into adulthood.

Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

For the people offended Colbert said "I don't speak Spanish" regarding the Portuguese: did it not occur to you that it's possible that was an intentional moment of humor, to purposefully feign ignorance especially when talking about awkward Brazilian porn channels? Colbert is a pretty well-educated guy, and he spoke a lot of Spanish on the Colbert Report over the years, so I'm sure he does know at least some Spanish. It's like if someone said "Konnichi wa" and someone replied to be funny, "I don't speak Chinese". Colbert may have very well slipped there, but I doubt it; he's usually pretty on point.

People need to chill and stop overreacting. Mistakes and brainfart moments do happen. I'm sure Colbert knows they speak Portuguese in Brazil, he probably just heard "anal aventura" and his brain just gravitated towards Spanish without thinking because it sounds like spanish. I once told someone that they speak Brazilian in Brazil even though i knew full well they speak Portuguese over there. People make mistakes, it's what we humans do best. Despite what we may like to think, Stephen too - is only human like the rest of us.
