      Interesting! I couldn't stand it. It's such a wishy-washy coward's answer. He snuck in theism, then shifted the focus onto love and lollipops. It's a classic move. 'I have specific, bizarre beliefs that should rightly have you questioning my rationality... but also shucks, puppies and cake are great!'

    I don’t know , as a heterosexual man , if I’m allowed to say this about these two gems of humans , but John is the darlingest , kindest, and likeable person with not a sintilla of meanness in his body and Stephen is the wittiest, sanest , most intelligent , respectful and incite full host on TV in the world ! and I adore the man.

I really liked his musical choices b/c u want to hear that from a musical person, "oh, I'm soo moved by this xxx, this xxx this xxx" and Colbert ofc, you can tell theres something thats not like "happened" btwn the 2 in like an life/death thing, but they've really bonded, in a really sincere way. Its moving

    Before this started I was going to say I'm amazed Jon is still on the show. He has so much going on in his life. That he is staying with the show and just taking some much deserved time off says so much about his character but also his love of performing. He's a true performer and entertainer in the best ways.
