He’s finally taken the “Colbert Questionert” himself.
Stephen Colbert has spent many years challenging guests to his “Colbert Questionert,” a series of rapid-fire questions that he claims allows the guest to be “truly known.” And now, with The Late Show coming to a close this week, it’s finally time for the man himself to enter the hot seat.
“I’ve always said that I wouldn’t give my answers to any of those questions until this show is over, but I guess this is close enough,” says Colbert in the video below, before a series of celebrity guest hosts take turns asking him a question each.
Here’s part one, featuring questions submitted by Billy Crystal, Weird Al Yankovic, Josh Brolin, and Martha Stewart:
Part two, featuring questions from Mark Hamill, Jim Gaffigan, Jeff Daniels, and Tiffany Haddish:
Part three, featuring questions from Evie McGee Colbert, Amy Sedaris, and Ben Stiller:
And the final part, featuring questions from Aubrey Plaza, James Taylor, Robert De Niro, and John Dickerson:
It’s a fun series of answers that ends on a sweet note, when Colbert describes the rest of his life in five words.
“My family. My friends. Fun.”
