Stephen Colbert, host of CBS's "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," talks with moderator Ben Schwartz to celebrate his show. Topics include: why Colbert thinks of his career as "a series of happy accidents"; the way his approach to comedy has changed over the decades; his early goal to become a dramatic actor; how he developed his character on "The Colbert Report"; the reason he hesitated to become "The Late Show's" host; his relationship with "Late Show" predecessor David Letterman; the unique method used to test out comedy material; his "enjoyment" when dealing with guests that are "uncomfortable" on set; not sticking to pre-planned topics with celebrities; and why "famously difficult" guest Robert De Niro became his favorite interview of all time.

I'm 72 and my sister and I have actually had a conversation about how there used to be the animosity between the late night hosts, and how much better it is now that all of them seem to get along and genuinely liked each other. It was so great to see the Seth Meyers interview last week and this one this week, thank you Paley center

Colbert, Meyers, Kimmel, Fallon and Oliver recorded a podcast together during the writer’s strike, called Strike Force Five [⚡️]. Ryan Reynolds advertised on it in the most hilarious way. It takes them about two episodes to sorta get used to it, and it’s THE BEST podcast in so many ways! I think you’ll love it , especially ‘the wives episode’ :)

@madge2114
@madge2114 14 күн бұрын
Barbara Streisand got him to admit it is between one and a hundred, and that it is an odd number. Plus, the only time he responded something other than "No," was when the answer was 3 (to which he responded, "Interesting.") A peanut butter and marmalade sandwich is normal. But peanut butter and apple butter sounds redundant, and perhaps even hazardous.

I like that Jon and Evie are like the "break in case of emergency", of comedy advice. Stephen and Paul are probably in the same wavelength comedically so if one proposes chaos the other one is just going to agree inmediately, without thinking of the repercussions.

the running on stage, i recently saw a phil silvers doc that said that on the sgt. bilko show every entrance was explosive. i'm old enough to remember when the show was around but too young to recall much more than a scene here and there. but i do remember steve allen talking about fink university and the fightin' ferns (schmock! schmock!). the only problem is i think i must be the only person alive who still does. the old tonight show with johnny carson started at 11:15 pm after the local news and went til 1:30 am. there was an ad for hawaiian fruit punch in the early shows that ran maybe 3 or 4 times a night. i can't find it on the internet but, boy, i would love to see it again. "got flavor cherry, pineapple, orange" is in my head forever, though.

It's weird to hear him talk about working with an audience, and actually seeing it in real time being a member of the audience. If anything, the experience felt less like a connection to the show or him or the material, and more just watching someone work for the camera with little regard for the people in the room with him. I was in an audience for Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show, and that was hilarious and fun and I felt immersed in the show, but being in Colbert's audience it was cold, strict, and detached.
