      Colbert seems like a pretty worldly guy, I bet he could have a fine conversation with Waltz if they had it in a different setting. Maybe an hour or so, in a couple of big chairs with just a camera and no audience. Late Night talk shows don't really lend themselves to good conversation, keeping the conversation artificially light, having to shuffle the guests out in five to ten minutes, and whatnot.

    It was really cool to see how Colbert adapts to guests' comfort, because he opened with the regular Hollywood, phony late night shite, but whenever it was clear that Waltz wasn't really into that phoniness Colbert like just switched into a more calm, and personal style of interview using shared life experiences to bond over, whilst also looking for jokes to make.

    I get the impression that Waltz is basically just tired of all the fake shit that pervades modern culture, and doesn't bother to give it or people's boring expectations the time of day, let alone respect. He has a certain humorous nihilism to his sensibility that I really like. You don't see it too often. It throws people, especially on mainstream American TV, and UA-cam viewers, it seems. People don't expect blunt humour and society-defying comments, but people with them tend to be the most interesting and long-lasting in the meme of society. David Bowie was like this a lot in many of his interviews, especially in the 90s. He gave off a sense of being slightly frustrated at being one step ahead, or one step *liberated* beyond everybody else.

    I thought colbert did an excellent interview here. It was def a case of the interviewee being uncomfortable to start but warming up completely by the end. Its actually quite amazing to see how well Colbert could relate the questions to Waltz. Colbert's niche is defintely his ability to use actual knowledge in a way that interests the guest. Fallon is fun but there is no way he can talk about religion, philosophy, or world culture with a movie star.

    the biggest difference I noticed is the sense of humor. at least with my relatives, it is incredibly dry, and sometimes more morbid than what would be acceptable to an American audience.
    Different doesn't mean that they are uncomfortable or acting superior or performing or being "real". this looks like an honest interaction between two intelligent and friendly men who were raised in incredibly different cultures.

    A wonderful article I found:
    Schmäh: A lesson in Austrian humour
    The word Schmäh (pronounced 'shmay') has many meanings. It can denote a joke, a trick or a lie, but also regional or personal charm, sense of humour and wit.
    Schmäh is a good-natured yet snide kind of banter with a subversive historical background. It has its roots below stairs, originating from servants' mockery of the high-strung, pseudo-courtly lifestyle of their burgeois masters. Part melancholy, part comedy, it often mixes gallantry with persiflage, flattery with ridicule.
    Every region and every individual in Austria has a unique type of Schmäh. It is sometimes mistaken for moodiness or impertinence, but it has always been a friendly, ironic sort of naughtiness, with very simple rules of engagement. Roll with the punches and enjoy a harmless - if slightly anarchic - battle of the wits.

I think the audience made it awkward with their confused laughter because stephen and christoph were actually having a conversation versus making everything a punchline.

    After seeing this interview, I wish Christoph Waltz and I could have a nice long talk about philosophy at the place he was describing. I think I need to move to Vienna.

    Not every interview needs to be a showy, who-can-make-the-audience-laugh-more fest. Sometimes they can just be a conversation. The best ones are.

    Just grown up men having a conversation about cities and the Catholic church. And it's awesome listening to them.

    Christoph Waltz has such a beautifully sarcastic sense of humor, he's brilliant :)
