Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

[@ghurabadota886]

I love that she clarified that pitch perfect was not a musical

[@JeremyCuddles]

+Ghuraba Dota She must have some subconscious distaste for the movie or something. Or just doesn't hold it to as high a standard as more "traditional" musicals.

[@Silvana716]

A musical is when a singer spontaneously sings, which wasn't true in Pitch Perfect. There's a difference. Why would you assume that she doesn't hold it to the same standards as a musical? She explained the difference. It's a fact. You're letting your imagination run wild, creating a negative case scenario.

[@ciram9082]

JeremyCuddles that's cause she's a theater nerd and the distinction is so clear to theater nerds that they are often surprised when "regular" folks get them confused. Rachel Bloom does the distinction quite often and she's also a theater nerd, haha

[@MyBlackandRedCZ]

If anything, I’d say Wicked is the most successful musical of all time.

[@Skittl1321]

@@MyBlackandRedCZ the Lion King had Wicked beat on Broadway grosses. Wicked isn't close for longest run. But I think Stephen said movie musical, so Wicked wouldn't be in there at all.

That’s called control. One doesn’t have to belt to sing well.

She also did the harmony as she is the better singer. That chemistry really sold it. Anna sold it.

[@chipdayton9426]

[@r6-AgentScorpionParkerKRider23]

Agreed. A duet isn't where one overpowers the other, it's harmony...Christina did it as well with Say Something and didn't overpower the other two guys from A Great Big World, she easily could have though, but the song wouldn't have done as well..had Anna done it same result....compliments to the band because they nailed it as well

[@sobreaver]

lol the line is longer because of me too. Rachael Bishop, go read a book of romance, 'true love'... Calling Anna an empty shell is just your opinion, you don't know shit about her, she's just as human as you are, so get over your imaginary 'perfect' world, we all have one in our mind, love is lived by imperfect humans all over everyday, maybe it doesn't last, but it's a feeling we willingly share for some time, longer for some, shorter for others it is a focused and nurturing process, it is not a permanent everlasting state, it is born and dies like everything else, some are just lucky to live it for a lifetime

Anna is a triple threat, and terrific. One can only hope Hollywoodland the the jackasses who replied to your post might someday see the talent in this woman. Because, talent! Seriously. Obvious. Is this thing on???

They both have wonderful voices and well paired together; thank you for that Anna and Stephen. That was like a trip in a time machine back to the middle of last century!
