André 3000 Takes The Colbert Questionert

[@laalaa99stl]

Finally! Someone who correctly answered the question about the most dangerous animal.

[@clifvaughn962]

I’ve yet to find someone else that truly believes we are animals. I swear I ain’t meant to be broke. The only mufuckas that think like me in public are Geminis or Clifs…. Just my experience, but yeah

[@JG-vq6rd]

It's funny you said that because humans popped into my head before he had actually answered. It's the obvious answer but it's the first time I've thought of it even though I've seen a lot of these.

[@clifvaughn962]

Btw we only dangerous cause we cheat. If a rhino had a gun🤦🏿‍♂️

[@TabethaAurochs]

It's obviously the right answer! I've been waiting for so long. Not surprised it's Andre 3000 who delivered 💜💜💜

[@AlexFoster2291]

That would be bears

[@thesoundsmith]

I've been waiting for YEARS for a guest to identify The Most Dangerous Animal as "Human..." Thank you Andre 3000, you ARE a man of vision.

[@tamrasmith1744]

This is what I always thought the answer should be.

[@ratchetryda]

Amazed it took that long to be answered right tbh

[@vsznry]

Its a book."The Most Dangerous Game" Ugh. Society needs to start reading again & going to at least a 2-year.

[@eternyti]

I mean tbf the question isn't "what is the most dangerous animal", its "what is the SCARIEST animal".... and obviously they can mean the same thing to some people, but there are plenty of animals people find terrifying that aren't actually dangerous (a lot of snakes or spiders, for example)... and humans are mostly only more dangerous in groups, not as individuals (in comparison to other predatory animals). all the same I was also in the same boat waiting for a guest to answer "human" to the scariest animal.... because it has the most legitimacy behind it.

I love that the band launched into "A Love Supreme" by Coltrane right as the segment ended.

[@pizzeo]

A Love Supreme was my answer before he answered and then he said something by Coltrane!! amazing. it's great because it's like 8 minutes long with so many changes. I can listen to that song for the rest of my life and be fine. It's so honest and spiritual.

I think this is my favorite Colbert Questionert ever! Insightful, funny and the definitive answer to the "Scariest Animal" question. Andre 3000 👏

Questionert is my favorite seqment and he is close to my favorite guest. listening to Andre 3000 is so soothing. I loved his several, honest, I don’t know answers

[@rikkiechambers4959]

I like this segment because it gives me a small glimpse of people I do not know . And most of the answers seem honest and sincere . Always enjoyable 😊

[@blaiseutube]

+1 I never heard of Andre 3000

[@ekkys04]

Most recognizable point in his career would be the fact that he's the guy that sang "Hey Ya!" by Outkast Outkast has lots of brilliant work as a 90's/00's Atlanta rap duo prior to that album but nothing afterwards (as a duo anyways)

[@aburdett85]

​@@blaiseutube Have you heard of the group called Outkast? IMO, André is the greatest lyricist ever.

[@ChainsGone2012]

Shout out to the band for closing with a Coltrane song for Andre. And it's hilarious that Andre definitely didn't follow the directions on the last question about 5 words - calling back to his ant debacle from not following directions

[@MrQuestful]

Andre is the closest to getting Colbert’s number question right. Usually Colbert just responds “no” when they guess, but when Andre guessed “3” he said interesting… which suggests to me that Colbert is thinking of Pi.

[@naoise555]

Colbert has said that the number he's thinking of is a whole number between 1 and 100, and it's always the same number.

Cutting slits in the bologna is a pro tip that I never thought of. LOL

[@gabriellam4481]

To be present and honest on frickin broadcast tv: just ever lovely. It’s a gift above and beyond the art they both create daily.

[@dropelaves]

I know this is silly, but everytime I think of Andre I think of a picture of him in an early album, shirtless and with a lot of atitude...OR I think of him in the "Hey Ya" videoclip, because these were the only occasions I've seen the guy. Watching him "real-life" (as real-life as I'll ever watch him, anyways) is mindblowing. What a down to earth, chill, thoughtful and borderline introvert dude. It's not that I didn't respect him before, as I had no reason not to do so. But watching this/his awkwardness made him much more human in my eyes and therefore I respect him more now. This is probably silly, but I feel like I had to praise him even though there were moments he clearly felt uncomfortable. Way to go Andre, after so many years in the industry and you're still you.

[@tyronewitherssr.5828]

It wasn't that it was hard to answer the question. It was a matter of being thoughtful. When you have an intelligent and sensitive nature, you learn to be thoughtful and careful with what you convey.

[@noble78b]

I went to a Andre3000 show last night. It was an experience, not what I expected. I was watching him play an assortment of wind instruments all on the fly. I got the feeling of when Michael Jordan retired the first time and started playing baseball. I supported him because I am a fan. But I was daydreaming about the first time I saw Outkast etc... I appreciate someone doing whatever they want and living in the moment. I'm inspired.

His answer to What happens when we die is the first time I've heard someone else with my exact philosophy about it. Bodies generate electricity, which can't be destroyed, so that energy leaves our bodies and has to go somewhere. I think that energy mingles around with all the other energy around us. So when people say they can "feel" a deceased loved one, I think they possibly really do.

The reason 3000 said he "has to think about it" is because I'm pretty sure being a psychedelic spiritual guide is a two way street and that relationship takes a bit to develop before you even enter the trip.

André's ants remind me of the time i came home during an especially Hot day and I'd forgotten to turn on the air conditioning. My cat was panting and looked absolutely like he was gonna pass on 😢 so I called the vet and asked what to do?! I had no car and he was way too far away from me to come over. He told me, unbelievably, to put him in the freezer briefly so i did. I watched for about 2·3 minutes, but i had to pee Really Bad so I went to the bathroom, but got distracted after going. About 20 minutes later i remembered and almost destroyed the door yanking it open! ...my cat was nearly frozen solid. I called the vet again, only This time i was far more terrified. ... unbelievably, again, he gave the Strangest advice. ..he said put 2 drops of kerosene under each nostril, so i did. ... nothing happened and i didn't Breathe for 2 solid minutes. ... Then... He started purring. His eyes Popped open and he Took OFF! Started running around, in and out of rooms, onto the cabinets, i swear he went partway up Walls. And then he Stopped!..fell over and went to sleep. ... ... Vet says he ran out of gas.

Would Stephen even let you know if you guessed his number correctly? And is it the same number every time? I think 3 might be it because it represents the Holy Trinity (Carson, Sullivan, Letterman).
