Summary
Stephen Colbert's been known to hop on the podcast for his exclusive introductions whenever the show's on break, so this week while The Late Show Pod Show is off the air, we're replaying some of our favorite episodes where our host graced us with his podcast presence! First up is this deep dive into one of The Late Show's most celebrated segments: The Colbert Questionert. Listen as Stephen tells podcast producer Becca how Keanu Reeves played a hand in the Questionert's origin story, which celebrity's answers have stuck out to him the most, and what size tomato he prefers in his BLTs in this podcast exclusive conversation with our host. Then enjoy the original first two Colbert Questionerts with Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, both administered over Zoom in early 2021.
