This is Stephen in his element. The moment when he explains his interpretation of the fox really embodies his whole persona and charisma. There is something magical about him. Phoebe was in awe at that moment.
Stephen should invite more artists on the show, he seems to have a deep artistic insight towards things. Artists and painters need a lot of recoginition in today's world.
Two observations: I have never before seen PWB gobsmacked, which confirms that Stephen's ability to quote poetry is a superpower; and in the after-times, can we find a way to keep doing interviews like these, with award winning stars and the host in their pyjamas with kids' paintings or random lamps in the frame? I'm impressed with how well Stephen can do both, but I like this vibe! I even like the way that on this one the guest starts out not look at the camera, like we all have on video calls. Perfect.
That ability Stephen has to remember and recite out of the blue, poems and lines from different movies and books is astonishing. Shows a remarkable memory, that he reads a lot and that to do all he does, he has a superior mental capacity (I was gonna say intelligence, but as we are now calling phones intelligent, it kinda diminishes the meaning). This is why I appreciate his show so much. There are other late shows, but to me, he is above them all by a large margin.
@@maciekkonarski4701 ~ There is no way anyone could be feeding him those words that flowed so smoothly from his mouth. He'd need to pause to process and regurgitate, but he just recited it as easily as he does his Tolkien. You can feed a question to an anchor, for example, but not this.
I agree with you Stephen Fleabag is "the only perfect television show ever made" ! Also glad we finally found out what the fox was. Update: I watched Fleabag live and it really is great. If you liked the show you'll like the stage show. As they said in the video the money from it is going to charities so its a good $5 dollars to spend if you find yourself needing something to watch during this lock-down.
Why do people like this guy? The only reason I watched tonight was to see steve martin. Steve marten seemed to be unimpressed with Colbert as are people with taste.
@@RedPaloma996 Get Linda: people who agree with her have taste. Those of us who disagree with her, do not. This is perhaps the most narcissistic comment online today.
6:10...why I rally like Stephen C. he shares his humanness with us...he isn't afraid to speak about God, faith, loss, humanity, etc. I think of the unthinkable tragedy he and his family endured and how he came away with this such a kind, caring personality.
I actually prefer Stephen like this, its allowing us to see the real him, an intelligent and artistic family man. I actually would prefer if they kept him in this format instead of doing the old Late Show style that Letterman et al. had.
She doesn't always hide it but she has a birthmark on the left side of her forehead. So, I think the hanging lock of hair is to 'hide' it so it doesn't distract the viewer from listening to her, watch her performance. I don't get the feeling she is embarrassed by it though.
I'm so glad Stephen brought up the fox. I can't imagine an explanation from Phoebe that would have been better than his. Phoebe said she knew "The Hounds of Heaven," but was surprised when Stephen mentioned it. I like to think that, perhaps, her fox was subconsciously inspired by the poem because it fits so beautifully as an inspiration.
I watched the 2 seasons of fleabag 3 weeks ago, took about 2 days to finish. I'm still waiting on the Hot priest to change his mind. Plus I've never hated Olivia Coleman so much on a show. I loved her on Broadchurch and The Favourite.
rod axel Colman is a bit of a dick in Peep show. Which you ought to watch if you haven’t. It’s comedy gold. But it’s a mark of how good she is that she can get us to like her or hate her, depending on the role.
Phoebe is Absolutely amazing & just great for so many reasons. Love her! Stephen thank you for showing up every single night for us. You keep my spirits high when I always need it. You & all the other late night hosts. Thank you all ♥️♥️
Timothy McCaskey aww thank you!! 😊 I appreciate it! && Hey Karma is a bitch. But as long as you stay on the right, positive & good side of karma thats what’s important! ♥️♥️
I've seen this live recording at a theatre in Toronto and it was AMAZING. So so freaking rivetting. Order it, not only is it going to a worthy cause, but you will be so enthralled in Pheobe's performance. Trust me, you'll be glad you did!
When two very charming, witty and intelligent people meet up for an interview 👏🏻 So good, and Stephen had that “hot priest” effect at the end with that poetry recital... y’all know what I’m talking about. Beyond happy right now, I’m off to amazon prime ✌🏻
That was just a great interview. Engaging. Actually interesting. Clever, and funny yet topically relevant. Tons of respect between them. Just a great interview.
I've never seen Flea Bag, the show, but had to donate!¡! Theatre saved my life, growing up in NYC...& Broadway Cares saved the lives of MANY during the AIDS pandemic.☮️💝💣
Queue Wikipedia page to overload & crash when everyone looks up The Hound of Heaven poem and can't figure out what 'dravest' means. These two people are so delightful to watch together.
That women just blows me away! Fleabag is so great! One of the greatest parts is how she leaves you asking questions. I may be a geek but I wrote a three page essay about the last season of Fleabag after binging it with my husband. No joke, we talked about the show for days.
Just saw the show and and I'm now officially obsessed with the show and with Phoebe. The show is funny, beautiful and heartbreaking.She makes you laugh and drags you through darkness .
putting the words, "Itching" and "fleabag" in the same sentence.... you've got me involuntarily scratching myself....just don't start yawning as well, or else i'll be off.
Because he recites a poem? Many people used to be able to recite poems, it is a feat of memory not genius. But he is pretty clever and also pretty funny.
I feel that to the priest the Fox is a symbol of his temptation to be liberated from his enchainment to fulfilling his chosen path of faith and duty to God. Not exactly a representation of Satan, but it appears at times when he is wavering and it makes him so nervous because he’s reminded of the promises he’s finding it hard to keep.
Well said. In a way the fox is like his familiar if you want to go by Wiccan concepts or animal spirit by a modern take. I viewed the fox as his desire to be mischievous and free. I think Colbert & Waller-Bridge certainly have intellectual crushes on each other. Beautiful thing. Palpable respect there.
SC and PWB, two humans who restore my faith in humanity, plus props to a third, Yotam Ottolenghi, whose food is a paean to finding common ground between people (remember how he collaborated with Palestinian Sami Tamimi on Jerusalem?) Also how is she so beautiful all the time? It's crazy.
I just feel Colbert is constantly looking for thAT elusive guest where he can have a meaningful interaction in his style. Helena Bonham Carter and her poem. And now Phoebe Waller Bridge. I am sure there are American celebrities who indulges in poetry, after all Robert Frost is an AmerIcan. Two roads diverged in a yellow road, and sorry I could not travel both Colbert, find them.
had the pleasure of seeing the last run in London last summer (and more racy?pff yeah a little, but the ending is a lot darker) and cannot wait to see it again! phoebe is just phenomenal
Wow, I've heard the phrase "Hound of Heaven" a lot, not knowing where it came from. I thought it was a reference to Psalm 23: "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me [Hebrew, chase me/pursue me] all the days of my life." But reading the whole poem is astonishing. "Is my gloom, after all, Shade of His hand, outstretched caressingly?"
Love Fleabag. Love the whole cast. Everyone in it is brilliant and Phoebe is just amazing. This interview was great and made me love both of them even more. ❤️
I have just watched both series and was blown away with the acting & writing and talent of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and the whole cast. I was aware of the show a few years ago which aired on BBC3 and read it had won awards so with lockdown I thought I would watch on BBC iPlayer. I expected it to be a comedy like Game Face (CH4) but Fleabag was intense and emotional and funny and I absolutely loved it. I loved Fleabags sister Claire but the whole cast were a credit. I remember a show from the 1990's This Life and the character of Fleabag reminds me a lot like Anna from the show - I wonder If Pheobe was influenced by a strong female lead character in a show who was sexually liberated and was not ashamed of how she looked or what she said or did. I will definetly subscribe to the One Woman show and really look forward to watching it and see how the origins of Fleabag emerged. Poor Boo.
This is Stephen in his element. The moment when he explains his interpretation of the fox really embodies his whole persona and charisma. There is something magical about him. Phoebe was in awe at that moment.
Sorry what was the fox about? Was it alluding to the fox in fleabag (season 2, priest is scared of fox)?
@@cynthiazhang Yes ☺ I believe the fox symbolises lust.
i know Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream new movies online?
@Jared Robert Flixportal :D
@Jasiah Augustus thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!
Stephen should invite more artists on the show, he seems to have a deep artistic insight towards things. Artists and painters need a lot of recoginition in today's world.
I definitely picked up on the natural chemistry in this conversation
He asks exactly the right questions for the artist to get to really talk about their stuff!

Well said! This was amazing. I too MUCH prefer these kinds of interviews over the overproduced studio versions... please let's keep 'em!!!
this woman is like if the Inside Out-style of characters weren't emotions, but embodiments of personality traits. This woman is charm.
Her face when Stephen is reciting the verse lol
I think she fell in love with him.
Clearly, Stephen's interpretation was much more profound than anything she had come up with!
My mannnnnnn
He does have an amazing memory for the written word.
@@lonelyone didn't we all
Please could Phoebe Waller-Bridge get Andrew Scott to read 'The Hound of Heaven' as part of her fund-raising drive!! That would be so amazing.
OMG!!! Thats an absolutely BRILLIANT idea!!!
Stephen blowing Phoebe's mind at the end with his theory about her own TV show was truly amazing to watch.
He loves her. I feel like he is blushing the entire time. It is adorable.
Cora Harders ...and he’s not alone...she’s lovely.

This was the best segment so far from any of the 'at home' versions of the late night shows. Two legends.
What an incredible thing witnessing that beautiful moment between Stephen and Phoebe at the end. Humans amazing each other by being humans.
6:10...why I rally like Stephen C. he shares his humanness with us...he isn't afraid to speak about God, faith, loss, humanity, etc. I think of the unthinkable tragedy he and his family endured and how he came away with this such a kind, caring personality.
Adversity and even tragedy can either turn us angry and bitter or it can help us be who God intended us to be.
What was the tragedy?
@@SyntheticaYT When he was 10, two of his brothers and his Dad died in a plane crash :(
I actually prefer Stephen like this, its allowing us to see the real him, an intelligent and artistic family man. I actually would prefer if they kept him in this format instead of doing the old Late Show style that Letterman et al. had.
Fleabag Live was just...astounding. She's unbelievable. And Vicky Jones...what a legend.
Why is Phoebe's hair falling down in such a chic manner?
It's so classic beauty... very 20th century black-and-white, early Joan Crawford
da96103 The whole funeral sequence is hilarious... “...People would think that I had a facial for my mother’s funeral...”.
She doesn't always hide it but she has a birthmark on the left side of her forehead. So, I think the hanging lock of hair is to 'hide' it so it doesn't distract the viewer from listening to her, watch her performance. I don't get the feeling she is embarrassed by it though.
I hope she can sort it out!!!
WAY BETTER Looking than Crawford EVER DREAMED of being! IMHO
I feel like I've just witnessed a real friendship blossom :)
6:45 is when Phoebe Waller-Bridge falls in love with Stephen Colbert
*Oh my god, I fancy a host!*
I kept rewatching it. What a pure, beautiful moment to be on demand on UA-cam of all places... It's surreal.
Okay that was the MOST AMAZING BEAUTIFUL AWESOME moment when Stephen recited the poem. Love you both immensely ♥️
"The Hound of Heaven" by Francis Thomas, 1909. Stephen knows his s***.
Ro G hahaha he truly always does! ♥️
Stephen Colbert has to give lessons in being that smooth. Damn.

I believe it was her condition for being cast--she wanted to play a stone-cold b----.
She is an amazing actress to make us hate her so much!

So talented!
I believe that Stephen is smitten by Phoebe's charms. I can't blame him one little bit.
Rick Lalonde I believe the feeling is mutual
No doubt! 😅
Oh my God, Steven made me tear up with his analysis of the fox.
what was that question in reference to?
@@Ninjanoodles78 Its from the show Fleabag. I don't want to give anything away in case you haven't seen the show but its a topic that pops up.
Me too. So much beauty in such a simple moment.
@@matthewr7593 I would not classify the fox as a spoiler
Look how smitten he is with her. Can't really blame him. The fleabag stage show is fantastic! Saw it in the theater. Everybody watch it!

I need to get on this Fleabag bandwagon. This lady has charm and wit in spades!

Don’t miss season 1. It’s the springboard of everything coming...hilarious 😂
Classic English beauty.
you will never get out of it, but you wouldnt ever want to so..have fun and welcome aboard
@@rebelduck9077 Oh yea absolutely watch season 1 but season 2 is even better.
When he recited the poem and Phoebe’s reaction= priceless. ❤️❤️❤️
Omg!! Mr. Colbert your memory of literature is AMAZING!!!!! How do you remember so many great pieces of literature?
He actually reads, that's how.
My god! Stephen quoting Thompson and the expression on Phoebe's face...that was amazing.
the last bit made me cry - that was amazing
One of the more brilliant interviews of one of the more brilliant show biz personalities by one of the more brilliant TV hosts, ever! Brilliant!
From time to time, Colbert flexes his literature muscle and it’s wonderful
This woman rocks! Loved her in Fleabag, especially the parts when she looks and talks to the camera on the side as if connecting with you, the viewer.
Stephen reciting things is so charming and pure
I've never seen Flea Bag, the show, but had to donate!¡! Theatre saved my life, growing up in NYC...& Broadway Cares saved the lives of MANY during the AIDS pandemic.☮️💝💣

One of the best interviews he's ever done. What a great woman. (I REALLY want her pajamas!)
Such a pleasure to watch Phoebe Waller-Bridge, she is so graceful....
That's how I react when Stephen starts reciting poetry. His memory recall is astonishing.... and sexy
Loved this & the simple piano version of the theme song. Stripped down just like the show via video chats.
What a thoroughly delightful interview Stephen and Pheobe. I love you both!
Stephen is really smart
I'm so glad he asked about the fox!!!
Oh my lord these two. Gorgeous!
I get goose bumps when he starts riffing poetry.
I guess people are just itching to see "Fleabag Live".
putting the words, "Itching" and "fleabag" in the same sentence.... you've got me involuntarily scratching myself....just don't start yawning as well, or else i'll be off.

You could say they're jumping up and down.

As long as she doesn't off any poor Guinea pigs lol
Stephen is a literary genius!!!!
Because he recites a poem? Many people used to be able to recite poems, it is a feat of memory not genius. But he is pretty clever and also pretty funny.
Oh gosh the mug. What a considerate kind gesture.

Oh my, is there another television actor/writer that I've ever been this enamored of? She is fantastic.
I am looking forward to any future creations by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Phoebe changed the way that my friends and I watch television. 🌸
Two charming, intelligent yet humble people.
We’ve been in quarantine so long that the little bit at the end-where there’s music and applause from the show in the theater-sounds weird and loud...
Thank you for a wonderful interview/video everyone, and yay for a Captain my Captain, someone to steer the ship in your home Stephen. Stay safe.
Perfect! But we want to see Stephen's daughter - a paragon!
Now I need to watch her show. I hope it is available in Brazil

Something I am not accustomed to seeing in the media... a man with cultural depth.

I can't make out what it says...
Please tell the people!

She is such an incredibly talented girl,love Fleabag and her personality is so charming !
I have to say I'm loving this format of "A Late Show", more home-feeling, yet still as, even if not more relevant and interesting.
