Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Late Show Vocab | Rescue Staff Rescue
Q: If you could have any job at The Late Show besides your current one, what would it be?

Stephen Takes The Colbert Questionert
Q: What do you think happens when we die?
The guest muses on a sense of continuation beyond individual self, likening it to a dispersion into a greater being, without claiming a definitive answer.
Stephen Takes The Colbert Questionert
Q: What is your best sandwich and when is it best to eat it?
Billy Crystal explains a summer tomato sandwich on very thin white bread with salt, pepper, and mayo, versus a rest-of-the-year hot pastrami on rye with mustard and possibly coleslaw.
Paul McCartney | Hello, Goodbye!
Q: What was your first impression of America when you arrived as a young musician?
McCartney describes America as the land of the free and a place where the music from the UK could find a new, expansive audience, marking a transformative moment for them.
Late Show Vocab | Terry Gross
Q: Do you recommend doing a show for 50 years?
Staying with a project for decades hinges on longevity, commitment, and evolving your approach; it's about continually refining what you want to say and how you want to say it.
