Casey Affleck & Stephen Enjoy A Spirited Conversation, Part 1

[@b-dub6865]

Seriously!! It was a horrible question to ask Casey & created the tension between them. He was offended. Does he have to wear a suit & tie? No. I love Colbert, but he’s not the best interviewer. To be fair, he has gotten better recently. Every joke is 60% truth, but Colbert’s was 100% truth.

Casey is a tremendous, underrated actor!

[@xyPERSON]

I can't help but wonder how much effort it took for Stephen Colbert to get Casey Affleck as a guest on his show. Casey Affleck, to me at least, is one of those celebrities who stays under the radar and I have never seen him on any talk shows.

[@somestrayan4682]

Casey Affleck has always been adorable. I've always loved his eyes. He looks fine, he was dressed up'. Stephen Colbert was just picking at him , because he probably likes him.

Venkman the real reason is the Colvert hates his gots I heard

[@dinoflame9696]

Clothes aren't casual but he wears them like a fucking hobo. Still, people wear much worse shit on these shows so who cares. It's just Stephen being a garbage interviewer as usual

[@alexwillis2381]

+Art Vandelay It might just be that I'm not familiar with the actor and this section of the interview was taken out of context, but I just found it incredibly awkward.

I always wonder what they say after when they go to commercial. Like "listen you little shit I ask you what I want and you play along" ... And where back.

[@Mr_Bob_A_Feet]

This whole interview I was like o_0

[@TheVancouverJatt]

all Colbert's interviews are slowly becoming this way, this is why he's right before Conan in ratings, which is second last!

[@DeathlyTired]

+TheVancouverJatt Not sure which ratings you're using, but the standard Nielsen ratings have Colbert second every week in every category, behind only Fallon. The latest figures were unusual in that Colbert was a tick behind Kimmel, at third place in the key 18-49 demo - but ahead in all the others. You can see the figures here: tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/02/19/late-night-ratings-feb-8-2-2016-jimmy-kimmel-live-continues-to-grow/ Or, you can see any other weeks figures on the same site, which will show the same picture. As, +Jim D mentions, Conan is far behind (also in the figures at the link provided), mostly because he's on cable, not network.

[@albertomartinez7702]

Colbert is a great interviewer, and that segment could have easily gone sour. He navigated that convo out like a pro.

+Awesomeness Hippopotamus Stoned? Ya, probably. I'm sure that's why Stephen was messing with him.

[@sechay9328]

+Awesomeness Hippopotamus I'm fairly confidant he is drunk, and Colbert can tell and is giving him a bit of a ribbing for it. Those aren't stoned eyes, those are drunk eyes. Other mannerisms indicate this as well. Plus there was the whole mug of water thing.

[@nameofchannel9783]

This is one of the best Late Show Colbert interviews I've seen in a long time. Do people not understand that they're simply having fun and that a little tension just makes it interesting? Reminds me of the old Colbert. To be honest, most of the time the new Colbert seems to be frustrated and bored out of his mind with the empty celebrity chitchat and circle jerking that he now has to labor through 5 days/week.

[@RetlawTheReaper]

Just gotta say Casey was AMAZING in "The Finest Hours!"

[@Studio2770]

+haismen he really was.

[@prnewstoday2624]

Joking about someone appearance could work for some people but others may not have it, specially when the joke is the interview icebreaker. Colbert set himself up for trouble for the rest of the interview. Maybe Colbert should try to test the waters before going there. Not everyone has a good sense of humor and I believe that in order to make the best out of an interview Colbert should aim for the strengths of each guest. I love Colbert and wish him the best.

[@phibeslives4048]

He and Kristen Stewart would have the most awkward babies.

[@erandachathuranga1986]

Phibes Lives Dude, did you forget Jesse Eisenberg? Just look at Jesse's and Kristen's interviews together.

[@TheBadLiutenant]

This was so uncomfortable to watch that I almost punched the monitor. Casey seems really intense, part of the reason he's so electrifying to watch when on screen.

[@FilmKiln]

Can't tell if he's super rude, or he's playing along.

[@nutmeg453]

Playing along.

[@Adlore]

Definitely playing along. Steven forced it on him, wanted him to play along from the start

[@sammiwhite9575]

No, he was serious.

[@akhorahil6250]

+FilmKiln Neither... They basically found themselves off script and had to figure out a way to get back to "the joke". Most people seem to think all of this is off the cuff, it's not... They have basic talking points/scripts on these shows. Unless you are some uber elite AAA list player that the show bends over backwards to get... someone that isn't going around promoting anything... Then they all do a pre-interview interview with the producer of the show. That's where the host learns "Oh I hear you just got back from vacation" or "I heard a funny story about your child". Then the guest does their little 5 minute story about whatever to basically kill dead air. He probably just didn't have anything to say about his personal life so they made up a little bit and it floundered. To me, Colbert is the worst at this. For such a funny man he struggles when things don't go as they are planned. He's gotta have the setup to his jokes go as planned. When the guest doesn't do their part, he struggles to get back on track. He never gives up on the joke either... It doesn't matter if the joke fits the convo or not. He needs to study Seth Meyers's ability to conduct an interview. Meyers is probably the best conversationalist in the business. He doesn't use cue cards and is really good at steering the conversation no matter how off track the guest gets. I say that because there's no way he can do what Conan or Fallon do. Colbert might be a comedian but he's no joker... He's just not a gag man.

[@SadisticSasquatch]

Its pretty typical for an interviewer on a talk show to start off with some sort of joke to break the ice in some way before the interview begins, it wasn't the best of jokes yeah but other than that Colbert's interview was pretty good. To the people saying it was bad just because the first minute is a bit shaky, maybe go back and see who was really the source of the awkward conversation because from how I saw it, it definitely wasn't Colbert, he was just trying to get through his *onw* joker before the interview started and Casey kept interrupting it and taking things personal.

[@estevenj]

+GregNobody - so ... you are totally wrong. The only week Colbert lost to Kimmel was during a week the Late Show was running re-runs.
