They were talking about the Sherlock bit. My heart broke when Benedict said, "It's over" I know it may not mean anything... but damn that hurt my soul

I think he was referring to the Moriarty story line since Colbert wouldn't drop it.

[@MichelleC50]

Window into the future.."Daddy what are stars made of?" Benedict: "Schtuff..." ^_^

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

Personally, I'd pick the 20 lobster-sized bears. They're small and squishy-- relatively easy to incapacitate. A lobster the size of a bear would be a horrifying, unstoppable death machine with two crushing scissor claws-- both with your name on them. I've made my choice, and I'm going to stand by it.

[@alexplaysminc.-.5922]

Yeah... I'll just wait till it wears off. Though that *is* the logical choice.

[@rebeccastadie5772]

The ghost impression killed me 😂😂😂😂

[@marshallemmett3313]

20 lobster sized bears all day every day. Sure they'd probably eat my face, but so would my kitty... given the chance. Plus, a bear sized lobster is the most terrifying hypothetical thing I've heard of recently.

[@mak3its0]

Benedict is beautiful.

Wait a damn sec. Stephen is probably the biggest LoTR stan in existence and he DIDN'T think to call Bennie Smaug?! Missed opportunity if ever there was one.

Sherlock's been learning about the solar system I see. Well it is primary school stuff after all

[@Mystic2760]

Confirmed, Benedict has Pac-Man Traumatic Stress Disorder :P

[@vampireluph9862]

This clip reminds me of an episode in The Big Bang Theory where Leonard, Raj and Howard were stoned, looked up to the sky and said, "stars are pretty aren't they?" Loll XD

[@carolyngrinberg6889]

So very funny. Another episode where my cats run and hide because I'm laughing so hard. That's my top rating for comedy.

[@bentonxavier5094]

He should do this with Sarah Paulson, Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman and Cate Blanchett

[@MelodicQuest]

14 million possibilities and we were lucky enough to end up with this.

[@trabecule8318]

Benedict can really read lines,all around both very well.

"Neither. I'd rather just wait until the drugs wear off." I am going to quote him when people ask stupid questions on Quora.
