Dua Lipa Asks Stephen How His Faith And His Comedy Overlap

I love that at 3:20, Stephen redirect the attention a little bit to the audience, giving Dua applause etc, because he's sensing that his guest needs a bit more time to compose her thoughts. It helped Dua Lipa to relax and start being the interviewer. It's a subtle yet highly useful skill that Stephen has, and I really admire that moment.

[@jodi697]

love that you noticed this little detail. guess you're a sensible person, who looks out for others. that's a very great quality. :)

[@LeboKM]

The profundity at 5:16 👌🏾 "Sadness is like a little bit of an emotional death but not a defeat if you can find a way to laugh about it. Because that laughter keeps you from having fear of it, and fear is the thing that keeps you from turning to evil devices to save you from the sadness. As Robert Hayden said, 'We must never be frightened or cajoled into accepting evil as our deliverance from evil, we must keep struggling to maintain our humanity though monsters of abstraction threaten and police us.' So if there's some relation between my faith and my comedy it's that no matter what happens you are never defeated, you must understand and see this in the light of eternity and find a way to love and laugh with each other."

I could be wrong noble o but any doubt about her talent and poise as you say might have more to do with the fact that autotune has completely taken over the music industry these days.

[@CartmanMorisato]

People tend to focus on what's bad about religion rather than what's good about it because we, in a fallen-from-grace human society, don't like anyone to tell us what to do. We like to "protest," if you will, but most of the time we don't even really know what we're protesting against or who the-powers-that-be really are, only our skewed perception of them molded by propaganda. When you really get to know God, as Stephen said, live is about love and sacrifice. Some people aren't willing to sacrifice for those they love, let alone everyone else that doesn't love them back. That's why things are tough, a lot of us are too self-centered. And that's why this interview hits a chord with us so well; both of them are trying their best to be less centered on self and more centered on others and giving back to others in their own ways. God bless them (and you reading this).

how dare you steal the spotlight away from Queen Dua with that most quick-witted, profoundly beautiful, thought-provoking answer! I could listen to her soothing voice ask / discuss with you life's deepest questions and meanings for hours. I truly hope to hear you on Dua's podcast!!!

[@john-vincentdysangco5549]

Greetings Mr. Colbert, that was such a beautiful response to how your faith and comedy come to terms with each other. I find myself in tears from your grace and eloquence. I am sincerely grateful, and humbled, for having heard what you said. Shout out to Dua Lipa for initiating this wonderful exchange.

This is up there with Keanu's answer when Stephen asked what will happen after we die.

[@teressaginthe303]

Being able to pull quotations like that isn't just a skill, it's a gift of intellect and learnedness.

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Lol. It just means he's memorised some things.

[@smorris7713]

If ever I had forgotten why I enjoy watching Stephen so much, his answer to her question is definitely a reminder. Also Dua Lipa is just amazing.

[@DougWolfe]

Wow. Such a great question and man oh man - what an absolute AWESOME response. I’m going to save this video and re-watch it from time to time, particularly Stephen’s response. It seems stupid (because I was watching this at home, by myself at the time), but I actually sat there and applauded.

[@jld4870]

It’s all good…I often applaud laugh and cry when alone. If it moves me gotta go with it!!

[@JonnyDIY]

Stephen is so articulate with his thoughts & Dua, what a question on the spot! 💕👍

[@bradleybarnett9545]

Dua took a lot of air time thinking, but it wasn't,at all awkward. & she found a question I think many of us would like to ask Steven. His answer was gorgeous, profound & wise.

[@janicer383]

Stephen totally saved her during the dead airtime, acting like he was being interviewed for the first time on the show, gracefully giving her a chance to come up with a question.

[@ColorMeCurvy]

I have always really enjoyed when Stephen is interviewed by others. His warmth and sincerity shine through so strongly. Having a segment called "Ask Stephen" would be incredibly fun!

[@nonyabidnazz7487]

I am sooooooooooo turned off by religious types.. the hypocrisy and pretzel logic.. but.. Stephen's answer was BRILLIANT and literally made me weep.. he's a national treasure!!!! 💕

[@jesusheart977]

Holy Spirit filled man🥰 This is what Jesus said in the bible about how to answer; And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God, 9but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. 10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, 12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”

Creflo Dollar. Great down to earth, real straitforward preacher. Only one i listen to. Check out his channel. He does daily confessions and gets us "psalm 91 equipped", everyday. 👍👍

[@SG-ts4hv]

You guys are so funny. His answer was not biblical at all!!! 😅 Think again before you call him a Holy Spirit filled man!

[@beckywebb1916]

@@SG-ts4hv How do you know he isn’t? Who made you judge? You worry about your own walk with God. He answered the question with great care.

[@mmommo-hx4dx]

@@SG-ts4hv I never knew he was Christian. However, as far as memorization,,better to quote/memorize PURE scripture...otherwise its just watered down mostly.

[@boras9400]

She’s so beautiful and talented . Her voice is amazing!

[@CTJMusic]

Dua with an awesome question and Stephen with that awesome answer! Dropped pearls of wisdom!!

[@hilpei3675]

Brilliant Stephen. Such a kind, wise heart you have.

[@dixie0625]

The only thing more mesmerizing then Dua Lipa at this moment is her shiny green nail polish. I legit feel like a crow distracted by a bright shiny object as she's moving her hands while she talks.

[@infallibleblue]

I noticed it too. Beautiful with the classic black dress.

[@ijchua]

To hear Stephen come up with that response at the snap of a finger means that it is something ingrained in him, something he totally lives by. You can't come up with something so profound and clear without believing and breathing it.

[@sistermargaretjohnson746]

So very true!

[@JonBlondell]

Stepen, thank you so much for that answer, and to the lovely lady for the question. This speaks directly to me in my life. That faith thing again, you know.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

That was a perfect answer to a perfect question!

[@TheDevnul]

Jon Stewart once said that Stephen Colbert was the smartest person in comedy he knew. Boy ,he was no wrong. Such an eloquent thoughtful answer.

[@gracep1370]

I have many favorite interviews of Stephen Colbert’s and this has easily become my favorite of favorites. Compelling question and answer 👏🏻

[@bentuber66]

Oh how we need more Stephen Colberts in this world! He’s so right about fear. It’s the opposite of love, and the genesis of hatred. If we all could just remember that everyone is always either being loving or, because they’re so terribly frightened, asking TO be loved. A great source for study of this concept? A Course in Miracles. It says in one section (to paraphrase) that we had the “tiny mad idea” that we separated from our Source, and then we forgot to laugh at such a silly notion. I love the idea that the Divine has a sense of humor!😉 Thanks, Stephen!💖🙏🏼💖

[@DougRawady]

Stephen delivered a truly profound answer to an off-the-cuff, thought-provoking question!

[@saranelson8063]

Wow, impressive question and incredible answer. The flow of words from him, being open, authentic, and vulnerable is so wonderful. Wow
