- It has to do with his iconic Comedy Central character. See more in WSJ. Magazine’s cover video interview with ‘Late Show’ host Stephen Colbert . Directed by Barbara Anastacio.
In “The One,” WSJ. Magazine talks to tastemakers and creators about “the one” secret to their success-the one mentor they lean on in a crisis, the one habit they wish they could break, the one call that changed their lives forever. From actor Nicole Kidman to “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, iconic cultural figures open up to WSJ.

I would love to see the unedited version of this video; it's clear he was saying much more than what was shown.
Agree.
I third this lol
@@meatheathen458 What's wrong with you?
Yees
@@meatheathen458 takes one to know one. Shall I call the police on you?
That story with his friend Chip made me cry. What a beautiful moment ❤️
Man, I so wish that someone had said that to me when I was younger... Now I have to pay therapists to tell me that, and it's just not the same :(
@@dayegilharno4988 😁
Made me cry, too, belle. 💜
Okay, but wasn't Chip his dog? Maybe not, but that would be funnier and still possible, huh? 🤔

"Don't be a dick" Words to live by.
"Nothing is possible to be made beautiful without some love.” -Stephen Colbert
This man is a hero to me not just a comedian. Him and his wife, what a fabulous couple got me through really tough times during Covid, he deserves a medal for keeping public moral up during such dark times, and his coverage of 1-6 has been brilliant. The man is a national treasure!
I absolutely agree. I love his wife too. I’d been a fan for a few years before covid but that’s when he started to really affect me and my soul in a profound way. I’m thankful for his comedy and his way of viewing the world and just him as a human.
💯
Not just covid, he made me laugh thru most of Trump's presidency
@@nancyburke3062 Agreed, I want a book of all the alternative names for You Know Coup.

Stephen Colbert...a real gem of a human!
Stephen Colbert is not only entertaining , he's a good to the bones person. ❤
Love this fitting phrase - Stephen is definitely good to the bones!
It is not the Methodists , not the Jews, it is Catholic Child Sex Abuse. mcg truth
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dip 💩s
He’s a shill to the bones.
@@pekkalanger5076 yes Propaganda of the status quo. "Largest Child Sex Abuse Ring in history - Vatican; is a great and good thing.
amen" Propaganda of Status Quo: things have changed, the old lies often repeated NO longer can be accepted. mcg -truth
I know for a fact that this man saved my sanity after 45 was elected. I was using prescription drugs to get through it. I was drinking not a great deal but even two drinks is a lot for me. But his laughter and his humor gave me something to at least allow me to take a breath. Thank you Stephen💙💙💙💙💙
You are enough, too.
@@breakfastforpikachu2327 Wow! I know exactly where you got that phrase from. Thank you so very much. Please do stay safe my friend God bless you and yours and sending prayers to the people of Ukraine and the people of Russia. It is not the fault of the people of Russia that this is happening. It is the fault of the madman who happens to be the Russian President… 🇺🇦🇺🇸❤️
Found his show during beginning of pandemic. His shows during quarantine grabbed me. So did Evie giggling in the background.
They have my vote...
I love this man. Is it really possible to love someone you’ve never met? You just feel like home Stephen. Thank you for being you.
You have a competitor Rosalind! I’ll fight you for him. Lol
He really does feel like home. I love the hell out of him.
@@Dbeckdesign68 it’s a good way of putting it. Even through all the trump nonsense he made it light and feel we’d be ok
@@JAN-uf2bz u can bet his wife would give you quite a challenge XD
I love him too!
I’m bummed out when Stephen is on vacation or weekends when I don’t get my daily monologue from him! A true national treasure that has a heart and is not afraid to speak / show it!
The depth of this man. I love him.
He is one of, if not my biggest hero. His morality, humanity and comedy are what this world NEEDS. I hope he continues his greatness!
I agree with everything you said!
the more i learn about Stephen, the more i like and respect him ❤️
I truly love this man. He's a good human and a good man.
I'm from New Zealand....thanks for the shout out Stephen. But please don't listen to any news about what happened in NZ's capital yesterday...whatever you heard is a lie.
he is a Catholic; so no he is not a good human. Child Sex Abuse is not a good thing.
Ignoring the 1000 years of Child Sex abuse all around the World is a BIG LIE. Putin likes lies.
it all counts. pretend, ignore, lie. it all adds up and our Civilized World goes down the drain. mcg truth
@@dafrasier1 take your hate and share it with somebody who cares. It's misplaced here.
@@Marlow925 Protecting Children from Child Sex Abuse is a good thing.
Why do you support Catholic Child Sex Abuse. Cover up.
You are the one spreading Hate and Abuse. mcg truth
You are part of the problem, the cover up.
yeah for a anti American woke terrorist this video does at good job at making him appear like a normal Human
As a non-religious person who did a double major in English and History? TOTALLY agree about the Bible thing. Choosing to read it helped me understand _so much_ about literary tropes and cultural human nature. It was weirdly shocking.
Also if more people read the bible we would have a lot more athiests in the world.
@@TrumanSparx Of course, the opposite could also be true. Depends on the mind of the reader.
@@pHD77 It's a fair point, though I admit what *I* got out of the experience was an understanding that (a) people are always striving to understand _how things work_ , and in the absence of knowledge/science/empirical truth we will fall back on hypothesis and correlation=causation kinds of thinking; and (b) religion is a social construct, and not to be confused with spirituality. The two are demonstrably separate phenomena.
And also? We (meaning, modern humans) are quick to ascribe notions of "universal morality" to anything that confirms and promotes our own biases, no matter how distant we are from the source material culturally.
Oh -- and we love a good story. I shouldn't forget that. Our ability to influence and connect with others through narrative is both confounding and amazing.
I've read it both as a believer and as a student. It actually makes more sense to me when read from the student point of view. It can be difficult for me to accept that some things documented were ordained by God. But I choose to believe, that's where the faith comes in. Might I be wrong? Sure. But it helps me to love people and to try to be a good person.
@@obviousness8113 I feel like I should clarify that my previous comment was not meant to deny that others will or should take spiritual value from the Bible, or to imply that there is no value to such documents if I personally don't derive spiritual value from them. Mostly I just meant that the Bible means different things to different people.
The moment he said "YOU'RE ENOUGH" my waterworks started
I once saw Stephen having coffee with friends outside of Java Love. My tiny dog pulled me over and began sniffing Stephen. This was long before he had his dog, Benny. I was a bit embarrassed about our intrusion, but Stephen didn't seem to mind. Dogs have impeccable means of judging humans, and we then became huge fans of Stephen. Yes, we would love to see the unedited version of this.
I would have been try so hard to keep myself from fangirling!
Better story if your dog had taken a big dump on his shoes
I am a huge fan of Stephen Colbert. He seems like a good human being. He gives credit to all the individuals who helped him in life.
A very good point! He’s a great human being all around.
@@JAN-uf2bz No, he isn't.
@@JAN-uf2bz, wait until the CCP releases the video they have of him, and then tell me he's "a good person"...
@@dkamphaus43, he's garbage on limited time.
I rely on this man's humor and heart daily over the course of these past several years. Courage and humility define him and well, that story with Chip…that's probably why we have Stephen guiding us today.
👍🏿
Plus he picked New Zealand ... now I know he's a man after my own heart.
I too rely on his humor, candidness, and ability to really reach people of all types. He has literally been one of the main things in the past three years that has kept me sane.
@@setinstone3090 agree completely with everything you said, Colbert is a national treasure
The thing I love about Colbert is that by all accounts, be it people who met him or who worked for him, he's a genuinely kind person.
I'm. a huge fan! Not only because of his sense of humor but also because of the profound humanity behind it.
How huge of a fan? Six-feet nine-inches and 340 pounds huge? Cuz I'm a pretty big Colbert fan as well. 😂
Pl

He's s corporate sell out and a shill who's pushing propaganda. He used to be the funniest guy on TV but he sold out when he took over from Letterman.
@@grammarofficerkrupke4398 So why are you here watching this interview??
@@grammarofficerkrupke4398 one man’s opinion ladies and gents.
Thank you for telling the Chip story. That had to be a core memory and turning point and I'm sure a small part of why Stephen is such a compassionate person.
'You're enough.... it will be OK"..... what an amazing friend to have the insight to say that.
Stephen is a golden guy with a HUGE heart. So talented, too. Not many people know just how much trajedy he's gone through.
I was a big fan of his until he went political.
@@Mikesorrento3344 so, before you ever heard of him then?
@@Mikesorrento3344 Starting with his time on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Stephen has been "political" for at least the past 25 years.
@@Mikesorrento3344 I've read some real stupid comments in my time...this one has just shot to #1 !
No, Stephen is a golden heart with a HUGE guy.
Did not think I could love Stephen Colbert more, but I'm not mad about being proven wrong. 💖
Love, love Stephen Colbert. He is one of the funniest comedians on the planet. And, I believe he is a honorable man with integrity.
Ditto.
I love Stephen to pieces.... could not have gotten through 2015-2022 without him.
(I am including the 2015 because that is when America started turning in the wrong direction)
Absolutely loved the Colbert Report. Saw it live once, he was very generous with his time to the audience.
Petition to release a longer version of this video 👇🏻
His monologue on Monday night was a masterpiece - I came home with a head full of worries and it restored my faith in humanity (well, almost).
Which video? Hoping to find it
@@chrisomara7416 - Assume this is the referenced monologue: ua-cam.com/video/dO490AKvT8s/v-deo.html
Go to "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" channel. The home page has playlists for each show by date as individual segments.
I like to keep two wish lists of celebrity names, a slap list and a lunch list. Stephen Colbert is definitely on the lunch list. I’d like to discuss philosophy, religion, and Tolkien over a plate of tailless shrimp. (They’re all pretty much the same topic anyway.) And by discuss, I mean just listen to him, and only put a word in here or there to make it seem like I’m smart enough to understand what he’s talking about. That would be great.
Two very Christian choices there...the recent film about Tolkien tried to hide his faith
He’s so spot on about the shrimp tails.
Colbert is def one of my favorite people in the entertainment field today. I have been a huge fan for years. He's insanely talented. 📺🧡
He's also def in one ear.
@@Anthony-hu3rj I never knew that. Thanks
@@Anthony-hu3rj ... Yes, I know… but what does that have to do with anything here?
@@Anthony-hu3rj and? Lol
Stephen Colbert is my most favorite American. I admire and look up to him, he's just a great person.
My second favourite after BO
Colbert is scary brilliant. He is an amazing man.
Stephen feels like an old friend to me. He is a national treasure.
Stephen Colbert is a classy man. I respect his intelligence. I watch his show every night. What a talent!
You know that question, “If you could sit down and talk to someone dead or alive, who would it be?” For me, it would be Stephen Colbert. So witty, intelligent, funny and fun. He is my go to answer for that question every time.
Me too.
He seems so down to earth, kind and unapologetically authentic. Witty, funny, intelligent and open minded. His wife is one lucky lady because men like Stephen are very rare. And his children are being raised by an awesome father.
I actually burst out laughing at the joke that never gets old. Didn't expect that.
I really have such a crush on Stephen 😵💫♥️ and hearing him curse unfiltered was so satisfying LOL no network tv censors 😂😂
Smartest, classiest act ever. Stephen colbert.
I love this man more than most of my living relatives.
I hear you about the shrimp tail issue... AND I'M A CHEF! I'm there for you Stephan!
If Stephan was not there for us through the chump years, we may not have made it.
Kindred spirit, love Stephen a true national treasure
Colbert is delightful. Who wouldn’t want a friend like him?
When ever I listen to Stephen I am reminding of what an amazing soul that man has. No matter the situation he always leaves me at peace he scoundrel have been a monk.
He’s a good one. Genuinely. I hope they keep making them like him in the future.
This is a very special man and what an inspiration
Stephen feeds me the news in a way I can digest it. I listen to his monologue just so I know what is going on in the world.
Impressive.
So smart, so talented yet so empathic.
Love this man! Kind, smart, funny, speaks his mind and a great hunam being!
This guy's humility is so soothing and heart-warming. I really can't understand how he has gotten this far in the business without being a jerk. God bless him.
Excellent one. 🤣
Everything I wanted and more. I loved learning more about him! Thank you! Please do more of these interviews!
Okay as a fellow thespian, I just learned more about the core of acting and co-acting from Stephen Colbert than any teacher or professor of Literature, or the Arts. 💯 🎭 🎓
Listen, internalise what the other conveys (in) , and respond to that experience (out). That is how actors keep it fresh and natural. :)
@@daniellamcgee4251 It’s not that easy if you can’t emote because your acting partner is dead inside.
Starting off the video singing "Peg" by Steely Dan? Was not expecting that gem!!
I adore Stephen Colbert! Thanks WSJ!
I love him so much I would want to see more of this. Unedited. I think he is Brilliant
His empathy and authenticity are what makes him great. His ability to connect with us the audience, making us feel like he’s speaking directly and individually to each of us, it’s quite remarkable.
I love Stephen Colbert. Thank you for this interview.❤️
Colbert is 100% right about those friggin' shrimp tails in sauces! I had this thought myself recently while eating at a restaurant, so I feel very validated!! It's ridiculous!!!
No shit!! Any meal with shrimp in a sauce that you are paying good money for!!!! What time in the eating of this meal at a fancy restaurant should I even bother using my fork if I have to put my hands into the plate? LOL
Same goes for the bones in the chickens. What an impertinence. Why don‘t they just throw it all in blender so we could use a spoon. Do they think we‘re troglodytes taking delight in eating with all senses? Spreading out your pinkie while nibbling on an shrimptail is so embarrassing.
That is basically why I do not eat in public. Be it shrimp, be it chicken, be it soup. I could go on, but I don't want to be a dick about it.
Stephen's interview with Anderson Cooper on grief came at a time when I had just lost my husband. His sincerity and faith helped me to rediscover mine.
never thought I'd see Stephen singing a song of my favorite band in the world, yet here we are.
Stephen Colbert and John Stewart are two people I appreciate deeply. They "save the face" for US celebrities to be honest.
I like this side of him. A very funny, sharp witted dude, for sure. Thanks for the video!
Colbert singing Steely Dan is all I need in life
Love him, love this interview. I love the time when Dame Helen Mirren was his guest and she gave him a kiss. Not just a regular kiss 😘,.... A kiss kiss 💋. It took him about a minute to recover, He said he lost his train of thought. I was grinning, laughing and smiling all throughout his interview with her. He's an all around good guy, a comedian and a religious guy who is especially a thorn on Donald Trump's side.
All of the late night comedy shows helped but Colbert in particular got me through the last 5 years of idiocy.
I love Stephen Colbert! ❤️ He always makes my day! :)
Me too! Yes.
Many people don’t know this about Mr. Colbert… Great interview… Notice the date…On September 11, 1974, Colbert’s father and two brothers nearest in age, Paul and Peter, were passengers on a plane making a short flight from Charleston to Charlotte, North Carolina. Eastern Air Lines Flight 212, operating on a small DC-9 plane, had 82 people on board and seemed to be making a routine approach towards Douglas Municipal Airport. The flight never made it to Douglas, crashing three miles shy of its intended runway on a hillside covered with cornfields.
Stephen Colbert is a hilarious, charming, adorable human being with a beautiful soul... his response to his one way ticket to lil ol New Zealand at the bottom of the world...awwww...i just melted...lol...made me smile..i was a fan but nw an even bigger fan.. 🥰...nz will have you any day!! 💞✌️🙏
more people like him and Chip, please!
It is so true...just one person making sure that you know there's a place on this planet for you...that you are worthy of love. Saved me,too. Thanks to all who love me. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself
Agreed. Tails on shrimp in a sauce is a no no.
Well being from New Zealand and having a beef with prawn tails…I had to like this one!
P.S. S.C. Come back down here to NZ and let’s drink some whisky that tastes like cigars and talk sh*t about how we fix this little blue ball we live on!
extra credit for saying BEEF in a comment about PRAWNS 😁
Go for a walk in the wild or anywhere does relieve a lot of stress and its quite calming.
Something i fully agree with with Stephen Colbert.
But as a person he shows much of his humanity as he can..
For him to choose the sentence that sums up his philosophy of life "Don't be a dick" says so so SOOOO much about him. Clearly he is just as humble and pleasant as he appears to be on television. I doubt someone... who is a dick, or narcissist, or whatever... would ever come up with that as their sentence to describe their philosophy of life. In fact, those people are the kinds of people who say "you gotta put other people down to bring yourself up"
During the time I was studying music with a Lutheran music director at a Lutheran church, I saw the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ," a movie that portrayed Jesus as someone who was truly believable as a human. The church's Lutheran minister asked me about the movie, and I told him, "Had I seen it as a child, I'd be a Christian to this day."
That was the first thought in my head as I came to fully recognize Stephen's deep humaneness thanks to this interview.
There are numerous versions and interpretations of the Bible; Issac Asimov's is one of the most objective. I look forward to the day someone writes an interpreted version from a Stephen Colbert perspective.
Well children are easily convinced of falsities. Watching a movie is not a good reason to accept supernatural claims.
@@capturedflame what's inconsistent? Genuinely curious.
Peg, it will come back to you…love the Steely Dan reference Mr Colbert. Keep em coming.
I can listen to this man talk for days on end 😍 I have no business being as obsessed with Stephen Colbert as I am - 57 years old and still so handsome!
I always thought SC was funny, but I grew such an appreciation for him during lockdown ❤️
He is such an absolute national treasure. It’s so refreshing to see a down to Earth celebrity. Just so kind and full of humility.
Loved this! Love him!
I have a similar philosophy... life is too short to be an assh***! Thanks WSJ and thanks for Stephen... I start my day with him every morning.
Same...I work the very early shift and am able to listen and laugh to start my day. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself
Thank you, WSJ for this. Colbert is my favorite entertainer & it seems in our home, our favorite person on TV. 😇
Yes let’s see the whole interview if there’s more. If not then this was great and it was enough.
Colbert sing “Peg” by Steely Dan in the beginning of the video and it has been stuck in my head ever since lol
The world needs more people like Stephen Colbert.
Amazed at the negative comments here. I love this man and he is funny now and he was funny then. If you people had half his talent you would be overflowing with talent!! Sadly you do not. Stephen keep being beautiful.
A few years ago Anderson Cooper interviewed Colbert. It showed a deeper and more somber side of Colbert. If you are a fan you should look it up.
Just stumbled upon this. I was just thinking last night, “ Stephen please don’t die before I do!”. Truly his intelligence and compassion has kept so many of us from going over the edge. When people ask me what famous persons would you want to be trapped in an elevator with Colbert is my first choice.
The New Zealand quote is spot on. Go there, it’s magical. 🇨🇦❤️🇳🇿
Stephen Colbert is pretty great! His monologues are very entertaining & informative.
He is our comedian every single night! That is a lot!
Yes!
So great. Also, the girl who helped me with my phone at the shop yesterday had "I'm enough" tattooed on her arm. I think the universe is speaking to me.
Have I said lately how much I love Stephen Colbert?
This was very amazing.
Really appreciate.
Thanks again and again.
I agree about the shrimp!
"You're enough, don't worry about it" ... That cut deep!
Thank you Chip Hill. Seriously.
