Heda, it's your big McDonald's hunger calling

and it's not just any kind of hunger.

It's the kind that calls for big arch.

Start with juicy beef, cheddar cheese and big arch sauce.

Oh, and don't forget those crispy onions.

Hungry? You are now.

Hi there, Stephen. Hi, Becca. This is The Late Show Pod Show. This is Stephen Colbert.

This is Becca. Yes, and we're here to introduce some wonderful podcasts for the break while The Late Show is off on vacation.

Great. And is this a guest that we're getting tonight or a comedy bit? This is a guest. This is a guest. Can I guess who this guest is? Please. Give me a hint. This is really cool. I don't know if you would call this person a celebrity. This is not a celebrity. This is an artist who you had a lovely conversation with. Ocean Vuong? Yes. yeah sure the emperor of gladness yeah sure really cool really cool interview we're doing the extended on here oh good

and since this is a wordsmith do you have anything you want to say about ocean vong because you had a lovely

thing at taping after you guys wrapped your interview just about how nice it is to have, you know, an author on. Right. Oh, I mean, I just, I mean, the people who listen to this probably know that the show is going off the air in May. And there's lots of things that I regret about the show going off the air in May. But one of the things is that I just love that we have on people like Ocean Vuong. And I know that Seth already had on Ocean Vuong.

I know I got Ocean Scooped by Seth here.

But, you know, just another show going off the air that would have on Ocean Vuong in a comedy context.

Like, we're a late show comedy show.

That's one of the things I like most about our show is that the different, all the different

kinds of guests who fit it.

Yeah, definitely.

But this is a beautiful interview with Ocean Vuong. Please enjoy it. But before we get to that, I have a game I want to play. Oh, gosh. This is a new game. We've never played before. I call it Late Show Vocab, since we have a wordsmith on the podcast tonight, an artist of words and poems and novels.

I have a wordsmith on the podcast tonight, an artist of words and poems and novels.

I have a list of words that the staff has submitted to me that are words that we believe originated at the Late Show or possibly the Cabaret rapport that are said with frequency at work.
