Summary

In another special edition of "Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations," Oprah continues her one-on-one interviews at Harlem's world-famous Apollo Theater. Stephen Colbert, the best-selling author and host of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," discusses the nightly intention of his show and his deeply rooted Catholic faith. Broadway genius Lin-Manuel Miranda opens up about his newborn baby, his Pulitzer Prize-winning show, "Hamilton," and the state of his beloved Puerto Rico. "Black-ish" and "Grown-ish" star Yara Shahidi explains why she believes her generation is politically aware and helping to reshape the world we live in. Plus, we share a few laughs with Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson, from the podcast "2 Dope Queens," who helped welcome our audience at the Apollo.
