[@harry1751]

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."

Aaah but God-not religion-so loved us that he gave his only begotten son so we could be one in Christ.

[@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).

But 27 is still quite young

The KZbin algorithm showed me Dua Lipa a few years back. I'm not a big fan of modern dance/romance music, but hers broke my resistance barrier. I've since discovered that she has brains to go with the beautiful appearance. Her music and videos almost make me wish I were young again.

[@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.

[@3a5859]

Poor Dua, totally floored by Stephen s response to her intelligent question by his profound ability to be the best Talk Show Host and a Comedy Genius on a total league of his own. Bravo for the beauty that people can bring simply by expressing themselves properly and showcasing humanity through out💘

[@cavaalli]

in america :) i agree i love him , in the world it must be graham norton.

[@vernonrabbetts]

Isn't it lovely to see two humans having a real conversation where neither one is intent on "destroying" or "killing" the other.

[@dontaylor7315]

@D D Yeah that's what I was thinking - "Poor Dua?" I wonder what that even meant.

[@zoehumphreys8925]

The thing I love most about Colbert, more than his memorized quotes, is his real love for his wife. That isn't rehearsed, that is true.

[@lucycan6363]

I love Stephen's answer about his faith and his comedy. Well done! Brilliant!

[@MsMarmolade]

Dude…that was an amazingly thoughtful question and the answer did not disappoint. Stephen took us to the school of life real quick. I loved every minute of it. ❤️😎😍

[@CTJMusic]

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

[@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!

[@marsharose]

Her question was excellent and his answer was so thoughtful.

[@LostYogi]

OMG Stephen, what a profound answer! thank you for sharing, and Dua what an amazing question, you definitely got an interviewer in you!

[@Iamchrisshorts]

That was such a good question and she clearly knew enough to ask showing preparation. Her pod will be great

[@sacreddreams7583]

That was beautiful Stephen 💙. Thank you for feeling called to ask that question Dua 🙂.

[@Indigo00eyez]

I’ve raised my now adult children to find laughter in everything. And they do.

[@deebsmigs]

What’s even more crazy, is that Stephen has gone through terrible tragedy in his life. His dad and two brothers died in one of the worst plane crashes in history. So it gives you the context when he talks about “sadness.” And how much weight he had to endure and overcome, through laughter. Thank you Stephen Colbert, for battling through your sadness and fear, to help us through ours, and find hope at the other end.

[@saranelson8063]

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

[@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.

[@Starcraftghost]

Man!!! Stephen blew me away. As much as I like him being a host, I love it when he’s being interviewed. He has so much depth!

[@ketoinvestor]

HOLY WOW! Stephen’s answer to Dua’s question was stunning! I will be rewatching that and transcribing it. Imho, it might make one of Dua’s lists as, possibly, one of the best answers to one of Life’s greatest questions: good vs. evil

[@hilpei3675]

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

[@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!💖🙏🏼💖

[@larrynguyen85]

5:24 Stephen Colbert is an avid Dune fan and it's this part that had me thinking about the Litany Against Fear: " "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Also really loved what Colbert said about using humor to defeat fear. It's such a profound and inspiring truth.

[@mariekastler5391]

WOW: That got Super Intense, FAST! Love Stephen's face as he realizes that she's really going to go for it. Dua Lipa Conquers ALL! Her Mindful Presence is EVERYTHING!! Stephen Colbert, now, you are known! Also, perfect answer! BEAUTIFUL❣️❣️❣️

[@ibrahimmoss]

What a brilliant woman. She is a gift. I am also impressed by Stephen’s reply to Duo’s question on faith and comedy.

[@Jivolt]

Stephen plays the goofy fool so well that we tend to forget how incredibly intelligent he is.

[@NKWTI]

Dua Lipa is a genuinely wonderful human being and the fact that she happens to be gorgeous is just extra icing on the cake

[@marianneh9868]

Deeply touched ... Thank you, I needed to hear/be reminded of this. Thank You, both of you for some meaningful conversation.

[@gracep1370]

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

[@vijaychristdoss8663]

What a question! And of course, needless to say, Stephen Colbert - More than just a host. An absolute gem

[@boras9400]

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

[@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.
