If you're a fan of Colbert, it's worth watching, he's very forthcoming.

Excellent interview indeed. Aside from other things, I didn’t know Colbert had taken over the top spot in late night. Excellent.

Anderson and he really laid themselves out there. I loved Colbert nicely calling him out in W’s image improving. The observation about “you did not see what you just saw” is spot on.

Some of Anderson's questions were so convoluted and self-serving, yet Stephan volleyed them back so effortlessly.

There was one point where you see Stephan just kind of sit back and listen to Anderson while he treated the interview as a therapy session.

Since he shared Colbert's experiences losing his Dad and brothers at an early age - he could definitely identify.

because it was so recent. Anderson wanted to talk about Stephans loss as a way to talk about his own loss.

Anderson's question were so long-winded, and at times he spoke over his interview subject. Stephan was brillian as usual, but Anderson just annoyed me.
