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!"

"If they have electricity, they're watching Friends". So true!

[@lesyayandfilksongs]

Smiling at himself in the mirror was so Joey.

[@Mila-Nova]

I know lol he was like how u doin

[@MiracleWinchester]

babygirl xoxo I was hoping/waiting he’d say it

[@slade-joseph-wilson1822]

He will always be joey to me i love matt leblanc but joey made him so great i cant un see joey 😂 every other show of him i watch i watch to see new stuff of joey 😂

[@-zSoloSz-]

And when he turned around and looked at the kids he probably wondered how long he was looking in that mirror

[@sciencelover7582]

i literally half expected him to go ...how u doin'?

[@the_dead_poet7829]

at 0:43, i don't know why i was expecting a _'How You Doin?'_

[@toushifh9]

well, you are not alone on that. I also thought he was going to say that. I was just repeating the words in my head...

[@madsqvist4682]

I thought that aswell

[@user-sy8on9gh6x]

ME TOO!

[@ermonski]

He was smelling the fart acting

[@paijemontoya6994]

Omg same

[@hoverbad3388]

I'm glad Matt LeBlanc is doing well, he always seemed like a good dude.

[@AvyScottandFlower]

IIRC he was kind of an arse while on Friends...

[@cruzzo260]

what did he do???

[@AvyScottandFlower]

I think he was 'famous' back then for his demeanor and general disdain towards fans and people in general. He wasn't Joey.

[@puddlemini]

More shy during his friends days. I'm glad that he's gotten a second wind.

[@garthbekkerbuksie4338]

@@AvyScottandFlower total rubbish news

[@omkarbhambure7461]

the last time he talked something "offensive" about writers, His character died.........know what I mean.

[@Monochromicornicopia]

Those writers must have been douchebags... good riddance.

[@kingjamestres]

+GDI it happened in friends

[@Poncho5rc]

Joey wasn't supposed to get old!!! 😭

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

He's still devilishly handsome, to be fair.

[@thepineapple551]

I thought he made a deal with God, but apperntly something went wrong.

[@johnjhill3]

Yeah, that deal fell thru, so he made a deal with a Pentecostal preacher!

[@Poncho5rc]

The pineapple THEY HAD A DEAL!!!

[@Aurasmae]

He was meant to grow old in the apartment over Monica and Chandlers garage. ;p

[@williamcuttill7919]

I think it's cool how naturally calm and lower energy he is in contrast with his characters. Shows you how great of an actor he is.

[@EtsiJuuret]

that's why he's a Joey who has reached the UNAGI ... ...and ate it!!!!

[@anonnymus2218]

America is crazy about Rachel, but Joey and Phoebe are the most popular friends characters worldwide.

Could you BE anymore wrong?

of course he insults the writers. That's so Drake Remoray

[@nathankweli4172]

TheTripleTKA yeah

[@bilawalkhan1525]

Dr*

[@freesimorgh]

I can’t get over the fact that he still mentioned his two step kids 11 years after he and his wife divorced. He is such a good man. He’s such a dad! I love him so much. He is such a beautiful human! ❤

[@friedaclaxton5950]

Right?! He seems like such a good guy.

[@jennhoff03]

One thing I love about Matt LeBlanc is that he doesn't resent his character nor does he resent being recognized for Friends. Several of the others are sick of it, and it makes them seem a little resentful. But Matt just steers into the skid! It makes me like him even more. :)

[@tankovalmis6595]

YEAH JENNIFER ANISTON DOESNT LIKE IT TO BE BROUGHT UP. YOU CAN SEE THE ANGER IN HER EYES. NEITHER DOES DAVID SCHWIMMER.

[@ChristIsKing772]

Merciless Bench caps lock or something😂

[@stephaniemccoy9602]

David is cool about it, he just doesn't hype up to it as people think he should.

[@cl759]

@@tankovalmis6595 that can't be right, schwimmer was at few episodes of will and grace and did well,

[@drfdwf392]

Holy shit. Matt Leblanc singing the theme song of FRIENDS is a moment we all didn't know we needed. That was such a wonderful gift to us. Thank you! 😭

[@EtsiJuuret]

Do you really like this song? Yes, it is associated with 'Friends' that we all love, but it's an uninteresting song itself at all!

[@MayeshaK]

This reminded me of the episode where Joey throws shade at his writers and his character on the soap gets killed off next episode

[@poohspaws8976]

Yes, well said "if people have electricity, they are watching Friends". Truth.

[@HawkeyeCharmer]

Stephen, can you please *try* and make the ends of such interviews, less abrupt hahahhaah the guest looks so taken aback at suddenly being told goodbye!

[@dnlybuff]

Haha I thought only I felt like that...

[@Peter-gu9ph]

Yeah just as the conversation gets out of third gear they slam on the brakes.

[@xTBoyTx]

I just want to add to this. I fifth this

[@alexandresilveira1458]

He cutted Joey! Lol

[@EtsiJuuret]

@@JDelvaMusic in his ear

[@Chloeayoy]

Matt seems like a nice chilled guy. Still very handsome!

[@Heavenzvoice]

Goes to show when you have a humble soul life will be good to you. He went to this audition with 10$ and some change.. his humility will not let him forget that so life is good to him. I’m so happy for him.

[@rosebyanyname]

His casual nature and interesting fashion sense remind me of Bruce Campbell!

[@powerhouse884]

This guy is actually the FUNNIEST guy ON and AFTER Friends. The rest of the cast are not even close after the show ended. Love Matt Leblanc!

[@Sooperdooder]

1:13 the way he waited to be invited to take a seat. This guy oozes class.

[@ceecee4693]

When ever he says "Man with a plan" , I couldn't help but think "JAM!"

[@courtrtney]

unpopular opinion but his voice and build makes him fit for action, would love to see him in a series like walking dead or or netflix series

[@EtsiJuuret]

Or in the Marvel series? But this is only until the first time when he smiles and half-closes his eyes, shaking his head! Then we'll all see an old good Joey!

[@prakrambhushan8328]

Mann. .matt le blanc is so graceful

[@redrose516]

yep, but you're not

[@ajit9598]

He is famous worldwide !!!!

[@GyDaBi]

awww I wanted him to talk more...

[@ender003]

Yeah, really odd how Colbert ended him mid-sentence.

[@scattygirl1]

Yeah, I think Colbert lost track of time just chatting and then suddenly realised- oh no- ad-break!

[@PranitJain]

I thought Joey made a deal with God that he wouldn't age 😁 He's still cool though✌️

[@mr.fancypants3366]

Crows feet does it.

[@Rose-Rae]

Why God why!!!

[@mayimovie6066]

Could you be more right?

[@CG-yl8vz]

I was expecting him to say "How you doing?" in the mirror.

[@wnapholi]

Oh man Matt Le Blanc is such a great guy! So grounded. So what if he has grey hair...he has aged so well!

[@nelsonw.9483]

How youu doin'?

LOL

[@ericragnar3069]

Could you bee more nostalgic

[@lar9299]

Call me crazy but I've spent so many years watching friends that I actually feel the actors are like old friends I have. It feels so heartwarming to see them doing interviews and stuff after all this time

[@farazhussain276]

Apart from his hair, he hasn't aged much.

[@florencewang7275]

This is just like in Friends when Joey trash talks his writers and gets killed off the show 😂 love Joey & Matt!!

[@ozzDeveveloperOpenForWork]

What he say here that makes u remind him saying those things?

[@cruxtymusic]

It's great that you guys have started putting up more full interviews

[@OLBastholm]

"No offense to writers out there" He definitely learned from Joey's experience 😂😂

[@Roivas_]

so Matt LeBlanc is like a real life Bojack Horseman now?

[@macedossaulo8917]

there are quite a lot of real life BoJack Horsemans actually, if you think about it…

[@simonh8441]

Back in the 90s, Matt was on a very famous TV show....

[@christiansantillana2399]

Roivas holy shit that's right!

[@adj789]

no he was on Top Gear

[@01MIA09]

Don't know why but I get a Jensen Ackles vibe from him.

[@treg5298]

Me too.

[@aliyafazal9118]

Dude so do I! I feel like it's their similar characters (Joey and Dean) and their noses, surprisingly.

[@tickanni]

Okay, seriously I had the EXACT same thought. I didn't think anyone else would.

[@MeliceNix]

Yeah I noticed that in SPN, their acting is similar

[@guitarman0365]

kicked in for me when he looked in the mirror and liked his reflection. dean would do that.

[@Annele555]

I wish this interview were even longer, I'd like to watch them talk for another hour :)

Matt is funny as hell and a hard worker

he was talking about a remote place in Morocco. You can find people living in extreme poverty there. Morocco is not only Rabat or Casablanca.

[@radhwangothic]

As I'm from Iraq. Joey is the most famous and beloved character in middle east. Plus, everybody have watched it at some point since the local TVs in middle east were obsessed with the show in the late 90's.

[@EtsiJuuret]

that's nice!

Matt LeBlanc is hilarious. I bet he gets tired of all the friends questions. Nothing they do will probably ever eclipse friends but at the same time they did get super paid.

[@Brinta3]

Herman Bradford I bet they still get super paid for Friends.

[@vasishtvasan75]

he has a 25 year old? how come nobody knows this?

[@nusba]

yeah, I was calculating when she was born and I had no idea that he became a father before friends...

[@vasishtvasan75]

3 years before friends practically when he was pretty much a kid himself

[@john-paulperrotta5432]

I have no idea, but nowhere online is there evidence of this. Even on his Wikipedia page, it says he has 1 child.

[@scattygirl1]

He'd have been 24 when he had the kid- pretty common. Or...they're his step-kids?

[@vasishtvasan75]

phoebephoebo .sydney yep think step kids, noway during the 90's tabloid wouldn't have picked up on his kids. Holy crap I'm 24, need to get a kid asap
