what a thoughtful, beautiful answer! I wish Colbert had a medium on which he could just discuss thoughts and poetry like this, instead of the talk show drivel he currently has to perform

steven colbert is very intelligent well rounded in life and keeps humor of the upmost to keep everyone uplifted in sad times good times cant get better than that thank you

His expression in the last few seconds of the clip is fascinating. It seems like he is surprised to think that people would clap (let alone react with interest interest) in hearing someone talk about something remotely spiritual in a possibly genuine way. The entertainment industry doesn't realise that people crave for some something genuine and real amongst the sea of fake and plastic.

Wow! So much insight into what I know to work but didn’t realize why and how, and such clear wisdom in the prescription, delivered in an admirably genuine non-preaching personal way. I am not at all religious, yet I find his faith beautiful, powerful, and instructive.

God I love Colbert and faith

He is one very rare specimen of the human race.
