I hope Stephen invites more authors to appear on his show, such a rare and amazing treat.

[@EuphoniaPooch]

A literary fiction writer on a late night show? More please!

[@equisde8026]

this interview could have gone on a lot longer, it was very interesting. I like when Colbert brings really intelligent, valuable people to the show, and not just some actors and actresses...

[@BlakieTT]

George has got some really interesting things to say! :)

[@rickdeckard5719]

When's the last time a guest of any talk show was THAT deep and seamlessly non-preachy?

[@orieldeleon9169]

Great interview!

[@brentoncarter4275]

i can feel the audience's attention. i love this discussion. kudos.

[@whatsinaname7076]

What a fantastic booking! Thank you so much for featuring journalists, authors, poets & dancers; a welcomed change!

[@medialwoman9]

George Saunders is a great soul. Stephen Colbert is another great soul. We are lucky to have these guys!

[@MovieBuffGinna]

If you ever have the chance to see George Saunders do a public reading, I highly recommend it. In person, he is both very funny and nice.

[@irispereyra4780]

I was already planning on reading this novel but after watching this interview with Saunders I am even more inclined to do so.

I yelled when I saw he was going to be on. Perhaps to his own doing, but this man does not nearly get enough exposure in a time when we need his voice the most.

[@SriM0]

Stephen's show books the best & most diverse set of guests. Not just some flashy movie people. Thanks!

[@Widdekuu91]

I think if you see Donald stumble on the street, you could help him get up.

[@Tiza123m]

U know why I love the Colbert show? Because he has some amazing guests that you don`t get to see on other shows. And you get these amazingly deep discussions about spirituality and religion and human nature.

[@fepowell274]

I met George. He is a great guy!

[@noahgoldowitz]

Such a fascinating individual.

[@NewMessage]

Best convo I've listened to in a very, very long time.

[@NickGreyden]

This was an outstanding interview. I'm gonna have to find this guy's works.
