@@jillsalkin7389 ... yes, but listen to the way he answered both Hanks and Clooney. He was like, “wrong!” I think Streep got it and he was flabbergasted.
Meryl Streep is so damn smart! No wonder she is such a great actress. Her acting is unreal. They way she immerses herself in each role and her choices is amazing.
She wins for the best song to listen to for eternity. Hejira is one of the best songs ever created and would be incredibly soothing forever. I’m traveling in some vehicle I’m Sitting in some cafe A defector from the petty wars That shell shock love away Well I looked at the granite markers Those tributes to finality to eternity And then I looked at myself Chicken scratching for my immortality There’s more and it’s all beautiful.
Joni is probably the best lyricist to have ever lived and every line on Hejira is sublime. "White flags of winter chimneys, waving truce against the moon" How wonderful... what amazing imagery she conjures.
Meryl has good musical taste. What a soulful woman! From Wikipedia: Hejira is the eighth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. The songs on the album were written during a series of road trips in 1975 and 1976, and reflect events that occurred during those trips, including several romantic relationships she had at the time.
She is such an awesome person very down-to-earth grounded. And I liked it shirt she was wearing I have seen her wear it before but I think it's a great color on her.
The answer on what happens when we die really is the question for me that describes a person: "I think we see everyone we loved and than go back to influence the lives of everyone we left behind". Well, its good she is an actor.
@@EvaSofie Have you seen the book and therefore know for certain? I know she has an amazing sense of humor, but I think she was offering it as a sincere answer.
Right on. I'm currently reading Mitchell's bio and will now not be able to think of that song without thinking of Streep. "Coyote" is my favorite Mitchell song... most days ; ) "Hejira" my favorite Mitchell album ...Shout out for Jaco Pastorius!
@@elisam.2896 'I see something of myself in everyone Just at this moment of the world As snow gathers like bolts of lace Waltzing on a ballroom girl... I know, no one's going to show me everything We all come and go unknown Each so deep and superficial Between the forceps and the stone...'
Brian, it’s my favorite of her albums, but my favorite song by my favorite artist is her _Rainy Night House_ on the “Miles of Aisles” album. I pretty much swoon every time I play it.
I'm glad you mentioned the title! I could for the life of me figure out what she said and listened to her answer over and over. "Head Zero"? "Hedge Row?" "Had She Wrote"? I guess, regarding my knowledge of Joni Mitchell's songs, that makes me a Head Zero. So there!
I lost it! I haven't laugh that hard in a long while where do don't make noise because you cant breath! Streep is suppose to be the classiest actress in the business and seeing her do that was rich! She a good sport!
’ Ithink we see everyone we love, and we then go back and influence the love of everyone we left behind’ that sounds exactly like Donna and mamma Mia 2.... Thanks Meryl, now im Having another breakdown over Donna 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧😭😭
Florence Foster Jenkins. I was crying. Its so sad and endearing at the same time. She and Hugh Grant need to do another movie together because they have amazing chemistry.
Oooh! I *totally* agree with Meryl's answer to "What happens when we die?". Except maybe the influencing part... that's more like wishful thinking. Or maybe magical thinking. She IS magic, isn't she? And I hope she continues to be so for a very very very VERY long time :-)
Wow "Hejira" is a GREAT song, fantastic choice from Meryl (and right off the top of her head). I couldn't imagine hearing only one song for the rest of my life, but that's not a bad one to pick.
Good questions that I couldn't answer so quickly, but Meryl helped with her song answer - Free Man In Paris would be it for me. To always feel unfettered and alive, no one calling me up for favors - no one's future to decide. Oh hell YEAH!
Unity of Nations.....this is something we dont preach to often....it seems other things are more important than the Human family......Thank you Sir. ......for the inspiration this 🌄......And Meryl is the 💣.......a good 💣......
The five words for the rest of Meryl's life should've been "The Academy Award goes to..."
... Harvey Weinstein!
Bruh
Access granted. Hired.
@@davidemmet7343you hate her bc she hates Trump….just like me!
My five words for the rest of my life would be crazy exhausting very bumpy ride
There is a whole character and backstory behind everything Meryl Streep says. She is so captivating
Right!?! I so agree! 😂🥰
@@adelinas.7335 m
That Milky Way wrapper autograph story is now a movie script.
Like how she stood up for Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polanski
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Meryl’s laugh is everything! Makes my day 💕
So, Stephen was caring about the unity of the nations since he was 8 years old. Totally checks out.
That sounds like an 8 year old thought process though. We have country flags, we have state flags, what about continent flags?
Meryl is pure delight, always.
I just... Her voice is pure magic.
"once again w the gesture please" 😂😂
I laughed so hard at that podcast hand gesture part 😂😂😂
Right?! Best part of the whole interview. She laughed for so long!!
Meryl Streep is so ravishing ❤️💖
Streep guessed the number! How is no one talking about this? Colbert was so blown away he was like, ... “uh, ok.”
He was thinking of pi, but was being polite.
I think she's a witch, but a good witch.
He didn't say she guessed it; he said, "Alright." :-)
Is this one of those Mandala effect moments? That’s crazy you remember something totally different then what was posted.
@@jillsalkin7389 ... yes, but listen to the way he answered both Hanks and Clooney. He was like, “wrong!” I think Streep got it and he was flabbergasted.
She guessed Stephen's number and did the Chris Evans laugh , all in the same sitting..
What a queen!
😂❤️
I liked Meryl Streep's interview the most: she's so wise and lovable
Ms. Streep is a goddamn national treasure.
Supporting a child rapist and a sexual predator
@@Fleeb-pb7zo she’s not a trump supporter
World treasure! Galaxy treasure! Universe treasure!
@@richards5389 I know
She would be Dame already if she were english
She's so funny and talented and down to earth. :)
She’s a goddess, but one you could hang out with.
@@maryrosekent8223 and she's still sexy too.
Meryl was my favorite of the three chosen for the Questionert. So adorable!
Meryl Streep is so damn smart!
No wonder she is such a great actress. Her acting is unreal.
They way she immerses herself in each role and her choices is amazing.
we must protect meryl streep at all costs - absolutely precious
Just curious what you like so much about Harvey Weinstein
Stephen: what’s your favourite app?
Meryl Streep: 👌🏾👈🏾
Stephen: 😲😮😂🤣🤣
😂
Haha I think she was referring to NPR One but still 🤣😳
Lmao
She meant Tinder
She and Hanks both were so good at the five words question
Meryl smiled with the most delicate smile 😊
So much funnier than any of the other interviews. She always adds something funny to the answer. So natural.
Such a lovely human…
Meryl is a sweet♥️
She wins for the best song to listen to for eternity. Hejira is one of the best songs ever created and would be incredibly soothing forever.
I’m traveling in some vehicle
I’m Sitting in some cafe
A defector from the petty wars
That shell shock love away
Well I looked at the granite markers
Those tributes to finality to eternity
And then I looked at myself
Chicken scratching for my immortality
There’s more and it’s all beautiful.

what a great clip, love streep . a mensch and lovely to boot
Five words to describe the rest of your life? "Very, very, very, very long!"; brilliant yet hilarious answer 😂😂
She is such an awesome person very down-to-earth grounded. And I liked it shirt she was wearing I have seen her wear it before but I think it's a great color on her.
Hanks, Streep, Clooney, wonderful! Just great people and a great interviewer! Loved it! Wow!
I wish he’d do John Oliver and/Jon Stewart.
I love the River Wild. She was so awesome in that. It was a very exciting movie that I wish I would have seen in theaters.
Seeing these two brilliant entertainers and great people in the same frame makes my day!
Such a clever segment ,watched the 3 actors in one go and they’re good questions :)
"What's the scariest animal?"
Whatever animal she did an impression of the moment he finished the question!
😂
From her reaction, I thought she was going to say Harvey Weinstein.
Her pause, then "egg sack" slayed me. 😂
"One more time with the gesture please.. I think we have to blur that" 😂😂
the queen Meryl looks amazing
The answer on what happens when we die really is the question for me that describes a person:
"I think we see everyone we loved and than go back to influence the lives of everyone we left behind".
Well, its good she is an actor.
"I'm in that book!" LOL Nixon with children. Hmmm....
She’s kidding.
@@EvaSofie
I don’t think she is, actually.
@@maryrosekent8223 She is, she jokes like that a lot.
@@EvaSofie
Have you seen the book and therefore know for certain? I know she has an amazing sense of humor, but I think she was offering it as a sincere answer.
Nixon was actually a very popular president. His Detente policy, helped the U.S. ease tensions with China at the midst of the Cold War.
"Hejira" By Joni Mitchell. Now I know Meryl Streep is the boss!!!
Right on.
I'm currently reading Mitchell's bio and will now not be able to think of that song without thinking of Streep.
"Coyote" is my favorite Mitchell song... most days ; ) "Hejira" my favorite Mitchell album ...Shout out for Jaco Pastorius!
Thats such a good song though, my god 😍😍😍

Man, I was transported to the movie Adaptation whenever she laughed, even when she's silent, Meryl is unmistakenly Meryl. Cool.
meryl streep just seems like the most fun and smart person.
Wonderful idea! We not only get to see these people in their own space but we also get to share their normal everyday thoughts. Thanks
Living legend, she is very, very, very, very special.
when stephen asked meryl what number he is thinking of and she said 3, i was thinking the same number! meryl and i have the same brain? lmao haha
My name is Kate too. Even tho I guessed 11.
Stephen Colbert: What's the scariest animal?
Meryl Streep: Donald Trump.
CCP bot. I see you!
i am so glad he caught that gesture she made at 4:48 😂
"What podcast are you listening to and send me some links!"
I lost it! I haven't laugh that hard in a long while where do don't make noise because you cant breath! Streep is suppose to be the classiest actress in the business and seeing her do that was rich! She a good sport!
“Very very very very long.” What a great answer!
What Happens When You Die? "Please see Defending Your Life, I have already covered this in question in great detail, Stephen"
Poor Albert Brooks...
She's got a doggie! I love that! And she let's him on the furniture!
I was thinking Number 3 too!!! LOL
I got chills because she chose the same song I would have! Hejira by Joni Mitchell. Yet another reason why Meryl Streep is awesome.
So many wonderful comments and such a fantastic interview. Thank you.
I actually really like this new segment! This is lovely. Thank you The late show team for great clips
1:43 I love Stephen's reaction.
This was the best Questionart, I was laughing so hard!
"One more time with the gesture please "😂😂 I can't 😌🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep 'em coming Stephen...love every minute of you!
I am SO excited for this new "Colbert Questionert" segment!!!
I am feeling every single vibe she is emitting
’ Ithink we see everyone we love, and we then go back and influence the love of everyone we left behind’ that sounds exactly like Donna and mamma Mia 2.... Thanks Meryl, now im Having another breakdown over Donna 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧😭😭
Florence Foster Jenkins. I was crying. Its so sad and endearing at the same time. She and Hugh Grant need to do another movie together because they have amazing chemistry.
Your on Fire this week! 😂🔥🔥🔥🌋🌍 Love you Meryl!
71 years, wow looking amazing
Very nice. Thank you for letting us enjoy this time with you both
She's such a treasure!
Oooh! I *totally* agree with Meryl's answer to "What happens when we die?". Except maybe the influencing part... that's more like wishful thinking. Or maybe magical thinking. She IS magic, isn't she? And I hope she continues to be so for a very very very VERY long time :-)
Colbert channeling the best of James Lipton in these bits is the greatest thing. I hope he does more.
Stephen's expression at 4.50. Priceless 😂😂
You really do learn about the person! ❤️❤️❤️ her more and , of course, Colbert!
Best answers of them all! Meryl rocks!
I love these survey questions! Everyone's answers are so wonderful and unique! :)
OHHMAHHLORDDD!! that music you all make!! Thank you JB and fabulous ones!!
I think Meryl Streep looks younger and prettier than ever I've been following her for a long time I think she is so pretty
I concur. She has amazing bone structure!
Stephen: "What number am I thinking of?"
Meryl: "Three."
Stephen: "Okay."
LOL.
Wow "Hejira" is a GREAT song, fantastic choice from Meryl (and right off the top of her head). I couldn't imagine hearing only one song for the rest of my life, but that's not a bad one to pick.
At 71 Meryl Streep is still fine! damn! she can still get it!
"The river wild" LOL
Obsessed with these interviews!
They’re sooo good!
"One more time with the gesture..."
Bro she is just SO CLASSY!
Cept for dat podcast thing. Meryl's naughty! 😂😂😂
Have you noticed the way she said the 4 very's... i think each of it has a substory behind! Hahahahaha! That's how good she is in telling her story 👌🤘
I so admire her.
Meryl Streep is looking forward to haunting people, and I hope she haunts me.
😂😂🤣😂😂 Well said.
I hope she haunts Kelly Clarkson.
Me too 😮😂
i refuse to believe that she wont live forever
Three!!!!!
My life is now complete. Especially with the podcast part... 🤣🤣🤣
The only part of these segments (watched out of order) that I didn't like, was when it ended. 😪 Do more of this... PLEASE!!!
I love these interviews. More please.
Love Meryl...always....
Streep can do no wrong in my eyes! And I need the link to that podcast.
The correct answer is "Did you ever see the rain" by CCR, just saying.
CCR correct answer: Born on the Bayou
*Have you ever
That's a GREAT Joni Mitchell song. Great choice Meryl.
It surprised me too!
I appreciate the editing chops it took to do the intro, thank you!
OMG! Meryl Streep looks like 35-40 max years old. Unbelievable👏👏👏
Adrenachrome is amazing for the skin.
Holy crap! She's the only one that got what number is Colbert thinking of right! This whole time he's been thinking of the number 3.
Dying to see a Colbert Questionert with Diane Keaton!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love this woman. Pastrami is absolutely the correct sandwich answer.
I would have loved it if Stephen had opened the envelope and read "Sally Field."
Good questions that I couldn't answer so quickly, but Meryl helped with her song answer - Free Man In Paris would be it for me. To always feel unfettered and alive, no one calling me up for favors - no one's future to decide. Oh hell YEAH!
Hejira! I just learned to play one of the songs on the album this evening. How odd.
haha she’s awkward but woke at the same time i love her
And her voice is amazing
People who think they are woke, aren't.
She's seems like she's trying, and that's the important part.
@@nydiah664
She studied to be an opera singer, but I forget why that didn’t happen. I loved her in _Into the Woods_ so much!
Quirky and beautiful
