“For me, the collaboration under very intense conditions was the most gratifying. To have all those individuals, so accomplished in their particular discipline – cinematography, production design, acting – and see them elevate the script and add value and inspiration in a way that I couldn’t have imagined was very, very exciting.
I think it also made me appreciate the same value within my coworkers here.”
And if he’d like to direct again…
“My hope is – I certainly wouldn’t rule it out. My hope is the industry doesn’t either.
(*And speaking of which – this might be a nice time to say – you know, maybe if you go see the movie…)”
On his infamous appearance on Crossfire in 2006:
“It really was not my intent to be disruptive. I truly thought we’d have a goof about how terrible the program is at the top, and move on, but… the combination of their obstinance and my low blood sugar led to no bueno.”
Stephen Colbert has a very distinct musk
When asked what Colbert smells like…
“Stephen smells like – it’s a cross between -
*Squints into distance*
Persimmons and a tattered copy of THE HOBBIT.”
He loved trying to make Colbert lose his composure

When asked what was going through his mind when Colbert lost his composure while eating a banana during a 2003 Daily Show segment…
“My greatest joys on the show were trying to make Stephen break, or the other correspondents. Because you felt as though you had accomplished something somewhat Herculean. It’s not easy to tickle those folks, but when it happens, you savor it.”
He couldn’t have more confidence in John Oliver
When asked about how proud he is of John Oliver and if Last Week Tonight ‘s once-a-week format is sustainable:
“I think whatever he chooses to do will be sustainable, because of the amount of talent and passion that he brings to everything that he does. And it’s not even a question of pride as much as respect and admiration.
AND not to mention he occasionally allows me to stroke the dimples (!!!).”
…Or in Larry Wilmore
When asked for some insight on Wilmore’s new show, The Minority Report , which The Daily Show will lead into once Colbert moves to CBS…
“I mean, I think like any of these shows, you try to create an atmosphere that’s conducive to the show finding its unique voice. Which is why I think Larry Willmore is such a tremendous choice in the way that Stephen was. I always think the most important aspect of those shows is the filter through which the host can put his individual stamp on the material.”
Jimmy Carter isn’t as straight-laced as he seems
When asked about the most unexpected thing a guest ever did on The Daily Show …
“Probably the time after the interview Jimmy Carter asked me if I wanted to get high, and listen to some Wu-Tang. (*unfortunately that is not true)
BUT STILL.
Would’ve been sweet!”
What he always whispers to his guests:
“I want you to get *get the fuck off my stage.
NOW!
Actually, it’s usually a continuation of something that we were discussing on there, that i wasn’t smart enough to get in during the actual televised portion. Or ‘good job!'”
He’s given breakfast foods a lot of thought
When asked if he prefers pancakes or waffles…
“I’m gonna say waffle. But it also depends on what you’re talking about in terms of fillings. I feel that the waffle is… a strong conduit for a fruit-based or a sweet-based addition. It’s somehow – in terms of waffle-to-filling ratio – is more robust. That being said, you can’t argue with a stackable food, such as the pancake.”
There was a hidden connection between Big Daddy and Star Wars
When asked to share a fact about Big Daddy that isn’t common knowledge…
“The child in the film – people believe the child in the film was played by the Sprouse twins. It was actually the guy from STAR WARS who played R2D2 in a little boy suit.”
He likes Taylor Swift… Occasionally
When asked about what music he’s listening to…
“Ray Lamontagne is the soundtrack to my house right now. I can always rock a good Springsteen or Foo Fighters. But that doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally shake it off, shake it off, shake-shake-shake-shake it, shake shake it off, player! Shake!”
He knows the first thing he’d do if elected president
“I think the first thing I might do is photocopy my balls and send it to every teacher i had in high school.
THEN, onto the legislating.”
He already has post- Daily Show plans:
“Nap.”
