In this video from The Hollywood Reporter, Stephen Colbert sits down on the set of his cover shoot to answer questions submitted by fellow late-night hosts. Throughout the interview, he reflects on his career, his colleagues, and his time hosting The Late Show.
Key Highlights from the Interview:
- On Life After the Show: When asked by James Corden how he is preparing for the end of his daily show, Colbert admits there is no real way to prepare and that he is struggling with the emotional prospect of leaving his talented team (1:06 - 1:47).
- Personal Aspirations: Trevor Noah asks if there is anything he hasn't been able to do because of the show, to which Colbert jokingly responds that it is finally time for him to start exercising and getting into shape (1:49 - 2:16).
- Friendship with Conan: After a playful question from Conan O'Brien (“Who the hell do you think you are?”), Colbert muses on their friendship, half-jokingly claiming to be Conan's best friend (2:17 - 2:38).
- Memorable Musical Guests: Jimmy Fallon asks about standout musical performances. Colbert highlights a cover of “With a Little Help from My Friends” by Hozier and Lake Street Dive, as well as performances by Moses Sumney, Anderson .Paak, Roger Waters, and Joe Walsh (3:49 - 4:40).
- The 'Colbert Questionnaire': Seth Meyers asks about the most memorable guest answer. Colbert explains how the segment started after asking Keanu Reeves what he thinks happens when we die, which led to a profound response that inspired the entire series (4:42 - 5:30).
- Family and Legacy: Colbert shares a touching story about his interview with Ambassador Andrew Young, detailing how their shared history involving Colbert's father helped him navigate a difficult strike at his own show in 2007-2008 (5:31 - 7:00).
