Seriously, does anyone like how Stephen Colbert interviews his guests???

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Colbert is the best interviewer on late night TV

I have seen him get guests to recite Shakespeare, talk about history, or reveal things they’ve never shared before.

He interrupted Paul McCartney’s retelling of a story he had told millions of times before to use his (Colbert’s) own experience of losing a parent at a young age to inquire about Paul losing his mother as a teen. It’s a subject I had never heard asked about before, and Paul was clearly taken aback, but tried to answer nevertheless.

If he ever leaves the late show, he would be great as a Barbara Walters style interviewer.
