      He's so subtle...so smart. Thank you for guiding us through the Bush regime.

      I no longer live in the States. So being able to hear your interviews means a lot. Thank you.

      Great interview. I'd love to hear more about the advice given to him by Bill O'Reilly.

      I am found a campaign to support our guy Colbert...The real or the character Stephen Colbert deserves it. It is trying to get 2000 people to digg stories so Colbert can take over the entire front page of Digg.com. Its really cool and its on https://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/colbert-nations-digg-domination

      I love seeing that smile on Stephen, cause it's such a genuine smile. And there's a warmth too, because it's usually one that's laughing at how foolish and funny we ALL are. It's also great that he's such a learned and a bit of a thinker, cause it brings catharsis out in his comedy!

      Thank you for making this wonderful real conversation with Stephen Colbert, available.

      Thank you for posting this.

      It's so much fun to see him out of character, to see what he, as himself, is really like. It's interesting too to see how he does occasionally slip into his character, subtly changing himself, especially at the end there. He is so gifted and I for one am extremely glad to have a chance to watch him at work and at play on his show four nights a week.

      Great to see him out of character for a change and learn more about him.

      So glad to have found this online -- a terrific interview with the funniest man in America. As much as I love his show, it was wonderful to get to see him out of character for awhile. Many thanks.

      STEPHEN COLBERT IS A GENIUS AT WHAT HE DOES....I COULD HAVE LISTENED TO HIM AND CHARLIE FOR HOURS. THANKS.

    21. lowa  07/19/2007 11:19 PM Report

      Wow, the real man behind the act. So humble, so mild-mannered. There's tragedy in his life. I just want to give him a big, sweet hug.
