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!"

[@FilmKiln]

It's insane how gorgeous she is

[@keithlaham7593]

total smoke show.

[@lepetitchat123]

She is mediocre and forgettable

[@grilledspaghetti]

@@lepetitchat123 Says the guy that most likely had to let go of his dick to write that.

[@denverb585]

@Crixus Mauperthuis "Yet you wrote a line about here..." Or he couldve been a Colbert fan and had to chime in.

[@SainteMichele]

huh?

[@QuantumBraced]

She was amazing in the movie, and her attractiveness wasn't exploited which made it so much better. But she is perfect.

[@vladimyrmorris6554]

Me originally I was there to see a sequel to Cloverfield. But it was bull shit. But whatever she was hot as shit in the movie

[@vladimyrmorris6554]

Me originally I was there to see a sequel to Cloverfield. But it was bull shit. But whatever she was hot as shit in the movie

[@fuloran1]

+QuantumBraced I agree, never heard of her before the movie, and in the beginning I was like, meh. But as the movie went on she grew on me, lol.

[@KyleGauntReviews]

+fuloran1 She was Ramona Flowers in Scott Pilgrim and was in Death Proof

[@DHGlee2013]

She is very under appreciated. She deserves some big awards for 10 Cloverfield Lane. I thought she was as great as Sandra Bullock in Gravity, maybe better! She really gave that wonderful female performance without exploiting her looks, and focused on the character, which in my opinion is the definition of a great actress. She kicked ass in 10 Cloverfield Lane, and she was also wonderful in The Thing remake in 2011.

[@nknasi]

Forever my celebrity crush. She's lovely.

[@GGoLre]

In my opinion she is for all intents and purposes physically perfect. She also has a tremendous personality. Boy how I would love to take her out to dinner.

[@Block888]

Most pretty actress, more than many Hollywood chicks.

[@thaminduKavinda]

Mine too

[@mumtazahmed9183]

The prettiest woman i've seen

[@ianscott1155]

Ever since Sky High she's been number one.

[@GabrielPoliglota]

This woman is an absolute goddess.

[@keithsmith4780]

Wonderful actor too.

[@WARoftheApocalypse]

Agreed, you put it exactly right

[@habbogigi]

She's so beautiful and so underrated. Wow.

[@esteban578]

+habbogigi Shes in a lot of indie films now so she's not that underrated she just wants to go that route

[@michaell.8938]

Saw the movie yesterday. It was pretty damn good, actually. John Goodman should win a best actor award for his role. He was terrifying.

[@lous111]

+Michael L. It would be great if he was nominated for it, wouldn't it?

[@michaell.8938]

+Lou Sofianos Absolutely.

[@jmccann482]

I agree completely. Probably one of my favourite films. John Goodman was absolutely outstanding, outstanding!!

[@fuloran1]

+Michael L. A nomination would be huge, he would never win though, as much as he deserves it.

[@KyleGauntReviews]

+Jack McCann Agreed sir! Love it so much

[@FullMetal-nu8bj]

That movie was so good. Had me on edge entire time. 9/10.

[@Bellerose1608]

It did, too. It definitely will win a few awards. ;-)

[@xyPERSON]

I agree but my only issue with the film is that it could have done without the "surprise" ending involving aliens. Hollywood has pretty much beaten that idea into the ground over the past two decades or so. In my honest opinion, the film was just fine being about three people cooped up in a house and one of them turns out to be a psychotic murderer.

[@jamo5178]

+Livingston Hampton yeah but that helpless woman who died in front of the door had to be explained

[@DDG2023]

Livingston Hampton I don't think you know that the "Cloverfield Universe" is much bigger than this movie, and even bigger than Cloverfield. Do yourself a favour and look up the other media, short clips, audio etc, that's being built around the Cloverfield Universe... it's incredibly compelling. And it all ties together and also brings in both these movies in an incredible way. Spot the satellite falling, Dharma initiative, the hidden audio "bugs" in both movies and the trailer and the released audio tracks. Hint: You need to reverse the audio. Do that for yourself if you can tho, before looking it up. Much more fun that way. The trailers and the interactive social media also have little clues that 'spoiler' will lead you to a conclusion of what was awoken (by the satellite?), where it's from, and whether or not they killed it... (You can tell I'm a huge Cloverfield fan!)

[@PawelSorinsky]

User222 It was explained. The air was poisoned by the extraterrestrials.

[@SanguineThor]

Her voice melts my soul.. amazing actor!

[@naveenjeet6565]

I've always felt bad for Mary. All the work she stars in are super good (Braindead, etc.) but never get the popularity they deserve :(

[@Mr_Bob_A_Feet]

Anyone else remember her from sky high?

[@mrevilducky]

holy shit...

[@LordConstipation]

Wait what? Oh shit, you're right...

[@johnconstantino3773]

[@geraldjr7273]

real shit

[@asrael_070]

RAMONA SI? XD

[@markkostecki4558]

I have a new crush after i saw this movie. Just look at her

[@WyliesWorld]

I really liked the movie; it wasn't just a cheap thriller. It actually kept you guessing most (if not all) of the way through. I definitely recommend it, even to those that don't like getting scared.

[@IReallyMissCybertron]

I saw the movie. Her performance was tremendous. I hope she wins something from it because it really was that good.

[@Gouthamedara]

+I really miss Cybertron... I just came back from the movie. What a movie!! John and MEW were terrific. A front runner for this years best movie

[@youhateme8827]

Legs for days! Beautiful face! Perfect teeth! That is perfection. Seriously

[@KydoimosOfMachai]

+YouHateMe Do not forget to check those teeth.

[@vicmartone]

+KydoimosOfMachai dude's probably British

[@rgwak]

I'm here two years later to point out that it sounds like you're at a county fair, inspecting a horse.

[@lepetitchat123]

Looks like a poor imitation of Dakota Johnson

[@josesatanas2205]

Simp

[@janisBFF]

God, she's sooo gorgeous and underrated

[@jafrocubic2]

Jesus. What an amazing beauty she is!

[@Mazeoftorment]

there's something mesmerizing in this woman

[@esteban578]

She's been my celebrity crush for so many years now...she hasnt been on a talk show for a long time

[@JoseAngelC]

-What do you know about Ramona Flowers? - She's got some battle scars, dude!

[@uscman]

Jose Angel C She's on another level!

[@thegoodthebadandtheugly579]

Just watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World and fell in love with Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character there.. so sad that I didn't watch it back in the day and stalked her online.. she's amazing - today, in the past, at all times - what a woman! Beautiful eyes, amazing actress as well!

[@joaorcmelo]

Love her since Final Destination 3

[@LadyLynxes]

Hey it's ramona flowers.

[@GantzIsSloppy]

+MrEzzmode She will ALWAYS be Ramona Flowers

[@redlion145]

+GantzIsSloppy Until she ages at all and you can't recognize a contemporary photo of her.

[@Trazynn]

+wildcardsniper She'll remain Lee

[@marciomineiro3519]

For me she will always be Gwen Graysson/Royal Pain.

[@williamporter6185]

She's a Royal Pain if you ask me...

[@GetBaesEveryday]

Lol punny

[@superfly2535]

+Xero Sounds like you need a pacifier lol

[@IReallyMissCybertron]

+Xero Hah! I see what you did there.

[@ravlad14]

[@beflygelt]

Yea I don't want to be that guy usually but fuuck

[@johnharrison9685]

Unbelievably gorgeous, my God, those big, brown beautiful eyes.

[@BobRobie1]

most beautiful woman on earth amazing actress

[@trochez89]

I agree

[@susanwilder5586]

She has been one of my favorites and I loved her in Brain dead and Fargo among others but so happy for her recent marriage to Ewan Mcgreggor and he beautiful baby boy. They make a perfect couple

[@HENRIQUEGODFATHER]

such an absolutely beautiful face

[@krusader85]

She's ridiculously gorgeous.

[@macadams1540]

She could play an adult boo in Monster Inc live action opposite John Goodman. Sick.

[@micahactive8272]

The first time i saw her face on screen i fell inlove with her.😍

[@LuqaS15]

Too short! MEW is so underrated.

[@beflygelt]

Imagine what MEWTU would look like... * ~*

[@SigWahrheit]

She's so charming, and just thoroughly beautiful. Sigh.

[@ossamaradwan8346]

She's awesome

[@DxFlash14]

Is it me or Stephen is getting better and better at interviewing actors and actresses? He's always been great with interesting guests, but now he seems always so confident...

[@DavidWildmouth]

I fucking LOVE this woman!!!

[@username7735]

My only celeb crush ever..

[@RoodeMenon]

Im in love with Mary.....

[@kaysolomon2746]

Rudolf Menon What?!Me too

[@esley02]

She is absolutely stunning

[@JoshuaFletch]

That film is going to get so many awards.

[@FungusMossGnosis]

+Josh Fletcher _Golden Raspberry Awards_ ?

[@joepill674]

Just a pin

[@melekboke]

One of most adorable guests ever

[@waynestephens9797]

Big fan of hers. She's a talented actress and obviously beautiful. Hopefully the critical success of 10 Cloverfield Lane will lead to box-office success and a big push for her career.

[@davidnievavillamarin5742]

My love she's the women of my dream

[@jsong21]

She looks so much better without mascara. She only needs a slight touch up.. to really enhance her natural beauty.

[@SarahSmurFK]

Exactly what i commented just now , she looked beautiful in the movie , she wasnt wearing that much make*up

[@iairon7609]

what is mascara tho

[@DHGlee2013]

Mary Elisabeth Winstead

[@avantgardeaclue]

Always liked her ever since I first saw her in Final Destination part 3. Thought she was pretty cute then, ridiculously hot now. Also very hot in Grindhouse and she sings too!!

[@k3vinaz0]

I just realized she was the beauty in swiss army man.

[@_98s]

I just realized that if there ever was a movie based on Bioshock Infinite she would be perfect to play Elizabeth

[@ImJakeSrsly]

Whoa, she's 31. She looks 21. Scratch that; 11. Scratch that; 1.

[@Beastinr0cks]

+Jake James She doesn't even look born yet.

[@TheSvaneMan]

+Jake James She doesn't even look like a thought yet.

[@DogWick]

+wildcardsniper Hahaha only people who have seen the movie will get this.

[@salty3723]

she looks like a fetus

[@ramirez3085]

Salty lmao I was gonna say this until I saw this comment. DAMN

[@AmbientDreamsStudio]

Just letting you all know you have GOT to see 10 Cloverfield lane!

[@Vendrix86]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kate Beckinsale, Alison Brie make up my Perfect Hollywood Hotties list.

[@charlesferdinand422]

You must be one desperate virgin lol

[@doubleawesometv8687]

Why is that? He is right.

[@loveexposure3351]

Charles Ferdinand Are you fucking kidding me? Even an alpha God would obsess over Mary Winstead, she is perfect.

[@lepetitchat123]

She has a man's body frame. and a HUGE ass. prefer Dakota Johnson

[@rgwak]

I'm here two years later to say I bet Vendrix hasn't touched a girl since his original comment. His right hand, though, that's a different story.

[@philtherealdeal100]

She was so good in that movie made me a fan

[@samreplete1842]

all i can say is that her beauty will never fade away shes still so preety omg and i know she will be for coming days.

[@XinBiDe]

SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE CONNECTION! There is no connection except a sign at the end of the movie that says "10 Cloverfield". There are no giant monster. The whole thing was just a marketing ploy. The movie doesn't take place in the same universe as Cloverfield, even. It seems that the franchise name of "Cloverfield" is more about producing original, groundbreaking horror films with viral marketing campaigns. But the movie is VERY good. It has 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, too.

[@UserInterface00]

There is an alien ship she blow up with a Molotov cocktail in the end after being chased by an alien being. In the end as she drives off into the horizon, the dark sky is lit up by lightning only to reveal more alien spaceships. So yes it can fall under the clover field universe.

[@XinBiDe]

Except that this is confirmed not to have happened in the same universe as Cloverfield, but in a parallel universe.

[@CHIQUISBOGARD]

Absolutely Gorgeous! Her personality is unique.

[@lovelycushionedheader4gerrard]

there's something about mary

[@juspn]

she's so eloquent and she is definitely the best choice for the role

[@crazypizzaman]

I hope she wins an award truly great performance as usual from her :)

[@diddygt]

I first found out about her from watching Scott Pilgrim. I think we all can agree that she is indeed hot.

[@bubblechaz]

she's awesome

[@DreamWorksAndPixarFan1994]

Gwen Grayson

[@gogullakrishnas8530]

Mary is not only actress very cute angel & beautiful queen of this world

[@bronzenrule]

Love her in _Mercy_ _Street_.

[@Piratearicat23]

[@winistan]

Ramona 😙

[@truthof7382]

She is simply beautiful. I mean no makeup, messy hair beautiful. And her intelligence and sweetness puts her way over the top. Great movie. Loved it. All three main actors where excellent. She is still somewhat under the radar. Probably a good thing.

[@EdjeMr1975]

She was stunning in 10 Cloverfield Final Destination 3 The Thing 2011

[@antoniomarcio5802]

She was stunning in every movie that she made!

[@arunphillips6977]

Quite possibly the most beautiful woman on the planet

[@VividFilmProductions]

she's such a great actress everyone should watch her in 'faults' which is directed by her husband

[@BabyBearRudy]

It sucks that she's so beautiful bc they undermind her acting talent bc of it.

[@nguyea09]

I hope this film gives her more incredible recognition she already has.

[@Charlie-qc5cs]

shes honestly a great actress. very underrated

[@FungusMossGnosis]

+Charlotte Falaguerra Reminds me of a younger Annabeth Gish.

[@madd0gsquid]

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty jealous of this woman's perfect everything.

[@MikhailKalashnikovMiG]

Oh Mew. Even her initials sound sexy... Ahhh
