The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is the premier late night talk show on CBS, airing at 11:35pm EST, streaming online via Paramount+, and delivered to the International Space Station on a USB drive taped to a weather balloon. Every night, viewers can expect: Comedy, humor, funny moments, witty interviews, celebrities, famous people, movie stars, bits, humorous celebrities doing bits, funny celebs, big group photos of every star from Hollywood, even the reclusive ones, plus also jokes.
This. This right here is why Colbert is leagues above other late night TV. This is an interview from a bygone era; when we didn’t shy away from some true intelligent discussion. Instead we reduced ourselves to pseudo reality tv. Thank you Colbert!
Due to seeing author George Saunders on your show, I've now enrolled in a George Saunders Literature class as part of my MFA degree coursework. Thanks for the inspiration!
That was much too short of an interview. Brilliant people talking.
I was just behind George Saunders in earning our Bachelor of Science degrees in engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. He’s one of those relatively rare engineers who has a facility for words that even exceeds his command of numbers. Great guy!
I think this is my favorite interaction from 50 years of seeing the Late SHow .
I like what he said about have a plan and not being attached to it. Organic development after you step off into the creative process is the best.
What an amazing discussion about the writing process...
I just went to symphonyspace and watched this reading. He's right. It is stunningly beautiful.
Interviews like this are 100x better than interviews with most movie and tv stars
I have never heard of this man, as a songwriter I can relate to a lot of this, and so glad that I have.
Wow, so admire George Saunders and now admire Stephen Colbert even more.
I just started writing a story and this interview couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you for this conversation.
When I was in the Army, we had a training exercise: "Imagine your mission is to drive 5 trucks from A to B. Now imagine that X happens at this point on the map. Now what do you do now?"
I wasn't interested in this guest. But then Stephen said "one of my favorite authors", and i trust his taste. So I watched and was amazed and wish they'd do an hour together.
My favorite part of doing improv is when you work off the other person. When you don't have a plan and you are unprepared, you can the the most genius and funniest stuff just from flying blind. Man plans, God laughs. Having a plan, ruins any chance for a belly laugh or tears running down an upturned cheek from the laugh. My funniest moments are when I've worked with someone that can listen and think on the fly.
Stephen has earned my respect time and again because of these interviews.
my daughter turned me onto him, love his work, yhanks for hosting him!
More from this dude pls, great interview, thanks for once again introducing me to a fascinating person
Saunders, what a genius.
Short stories are magical. So well done. I avoid reading them because they’re so great I don’t want them to end.
