Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

>> Stephen: AND WE HAVE SIMILAR D.N.A. >> WE DO. BY THE WAY, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, COLBERT IS ACTUALLY A MUSICAL THEATER PERFORMER AT HEART. I'VE SEEN YOU. YOU'RE AMAZING. >> Stephen: YOU KNOW, JOSH, I REALLY JUST COTHIS FOR MONEY. I'VE A HOOVER AT HEART. I'M REALLY MORE OF A DANCER. >> I SMELL THAT ON YOU. >> Stephen: YOU SMELL THAT ON ME? >> YOU NEVER WORE ANYTHING LIKE THIS WHEN YOU HOSTED "COLBERT SHOW." YOU USED TO WEAR DRAKU, NOIR. AND NOW YOU WEAR MONEY COLOGNE. >> Stephen: MONEY COLOGNE. YOU'RE HUGE? >> I AM. >> Stephen: WE BOTH WORKED FOR MR. JON STEWART AT "THE DALY SHOW." >> HE WAS GREAT. >> Stephen: I MISS HIM. WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE HIM OUT HERE DURING THE ELECTION? >> I FEEL LIKE HE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS THAT IS HAPPENING, OR NOT. >> Stephen: HOW MANY PIECES DID YOU DO OVER THERE? WERE YOU THERE FOR A LONG TIME? >> WHAT WAS AMAZING IS JON GAVE ME THE THE MOST AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO DO "THE DAILY SHOW" AND I SAID NO. THIS IS A TRUE STORY. I AUDITIONED, AND I WAS SO EXCITED, BUT MY WIFE AND I WERE LIVING IN L.A., AND IT WAS REALLY HARD TO MAKE THE DECISION TO MOVE TO NEW YORK. SO HE WAS LIKE, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WE'LL DO WHAT WE DO WITH LARRY WILMORE. YOU CAN COME IN, GUEST CORRESPONDENT WHENEVER YOU WANT." SO HE WOULD FLY ME IN. SIX MONTHS LATER I GOT "THE BOOK OF MORMON." HE SAID THAT WAS A REALLY *** THING TO DO TO TELL ME YOU WOULDN'T MOVE TO NEW YORK FOR ME BUT YOU WOULD FOR A BROADWAY SHOW. IT WAS AMAZING. I DID ABOUT, LIKE, EIGHT PIECES AND HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE. I DID ONE WHILE I WAS DOING "THE BOOK OF MORMON" -- >> THAT'S INSANE. YOU DO EIGHT SHOWS I WEEK. >> I SAID I CAN'T DO BOTH.
