Stephen is practically speechless at how big of a fan Matthew is.

[@yuriandropov9011]

Ultimate fanboy

[@thephilosopher4719]

Stephen can't believe that Matthew is one of his real fans, he is so surprised, that Matthew remember things about him more than himself... And Matthew is The Real Deal! Really talented!!!! and amazing guy to interview...

[@rodham8935]

He's just so genuine, that whole thing was lovely!

[@jdcompas]

Matthew is to Stephen as Stephen is to Tolkien, super nerds!

[@imyourhuckleberry8095]

Yup, he is the real deal. Leave it to Texas.

[@alexbaum2204]

I will agree with his talent. True Detective (his acting and Woody Harrelson's) showcased maybe the finest acting work I've ever seen. I was completely blown away watching that show.

[@SolotaireKid]

this dude has charisma oozing out him

[@arch0wns]

Seriously. Prolly has to scrub off as much has he can every time he showers just to avoid being treated like a God.

[@MrJagermeister]

SolitaireKid Go watch the movie "Gold". It was amazing to see him pack on 40lbs, balding, and generally about as physically disgusting as I am. It also had the benefit of being a really good movie.

[@Geotubest]

That was hilarious.

[@MikhailKalashnikovMiG]

Matthew has insane stage presence. I was engrossed the whole time watching him describe that scene.

[@rajagopalp5874]

Mikhail Kalashnikov that is so damn true. he just nailed it in the way he described the ny porch scene narration. that is oscar award winning talent with 25 yrs of experience in a field(mastery) talking. it is alwats a pleasure to watch a master at work, whatever be the field of mastery. and Matt McConaughey is a sensei in his chosen field.

[@socrappyicoulddie]

I fucking love it whenever Colbert has guests on who can't help fanboying/fangirling over him. I think McConaughey takes the crown from Chris Meloni.

[@jackhindle9062]

socrappyicoulddie what about Kevin smith

[@mantisplanet4774]

Mathew = infectious enthusiasm....enough to conquer all your fears and obstacles 😊

[@Unriven]

Roll a funny cigarette.. alright alright

[@hackfresse66]

*alright, you dropped one

[@juliaconnell]

lol thanks maltJ - yip -alright alright alright - bongo on

[@Unriven]

He's an amazing actor.

[@yashiAR]

its so amazing to witness the stars coming on the show really truly appreciate Stephen and his work.

[@flatpointhigh]

Damn i thought that Stephen had a big crush on him but it seems to go both ways. Cause Exit 57 is a deep cut, I'm still waiting for someone to come and reenact Down In The Basement

[@nrgao]

Colbert was in absolute awe while watching McConaughey act out something that he had performed over 20 years ago.

[@WhatKindOfNameNow]

I love how excited McConaughey seems to be about the skit.

[@cinerdella4693]

I love it when artists are fans of each other; supporting their work even early on

[@gageiiiiitttt]

This guy.

[@CaptainSlow259]

I didn't know Stephen looked like Chandler Bing😂 3:11

[@rossanafioravanti8526]

I loooove MMC's Southern drawl .....

[@Synsane]

It's fucking amazing how McConaughey tells stories. They're so engrossing.

[@WooMaster777]

Oh, my gawd! McConaughey is such a charismatic story teller! He could be talking about nothing and I'd still be hanging on to every word coming out of his mouth. ❤

[@twomorestars]

thats also a quote from strangers with candy... him and mr jellyneck - "I'm not pushing you away, Chuck, I'm pulling me toward myself" awesome line.

[@saitamatrash2527]

Stephen looks so entranced. I know he loves Matthew. He can't take his eyes away during the sketch

[@AuroraAquarius]

Stephen Colbert, making dreams come true.

[@rickbubbles2973]

Hahaha laugh

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

Well, McConaughey has gone up immeasurably in my estimation. Anybody who can quote Exit 57 is my kind of people.

[@TheTrippleTKA]

Find you someone who looks at you the way Colbert looks at McConaughey doing impression of Colbert's impression

[@oscaroonie]

He took over the room

[@WillieSimpson777]

"pulling me towards myself" also famously used in Strangers With Candy...I think in the scene where Jellyneck wants to become a real artist.

[@kerreill]

That's I one of my favorite movies.

[@naryrokobs1847]

Him performing that comedy scene from exit 57 was the very definition of smooth

[@GuiiBrazil]

2:28 you can see Stephen is in shock of how Matthew McConaughey is a huge funboy of him. lol

[@leovomend8789]

this dude has a really really great storytelling voice,

[@mr.womblordofunmercifultor4110]

Goddam, Matthew is the most likable, humble man in the cosmos.

[@xxeruss3080]

I love how Stephen has used the line "I'm not pushing you away. I'm just pulling me closer to myself" three times. Once in Exit 57, once in Strangers With Candy, and again in the SWC movie. Awesome to see where the line originated from considering it's fucking gold.

[@thefunkybuddha69]

I absolutely LOVED Exit 57! I laughed so hard at the first sketch in the very first episode, where an idealistic office worker (Jodi Lennon) writes "Practice Random Acts of Kindness" on a piece of paper, folds it into a paper airplane, and tosses it out her office window. The plane then hits a man on the street (Stephen Colbert) directly in the eye. So beautifully done.

[@sarahgwynne]

I WATCHED THE SHOW RELIGIOUSLY!!!

[@gabelogan56]

Me too! Season 2 of RELIGIOUSLY is better than the first.

[@endlessfreedomful]

another fucking dude beats time and never grows old, alright alright alright.

[@Bigolddragon]

Alright alright alright

[@user-qb3jg8ep9t]

Why does McConaughey always talk like a Steinbeck character?

[@rossanafioravanti8526]

Cause he s a Steinbeck character

[@rocketdave719]

"Damn kids are off school for the summer. Can't make my honey pie."

[@barbaraibarra6190]

Funny as heck, I started loving the Colbert from Strangers with Candy!

[@ws4jb]

This dude can only operate genuinely as hell, love the hell out of it.

[@vyr1605]

We need Exit 57 released on video! Damn kids. Damn Summer. Can't make my honeypie.

[@tupelomiss8315]

Wow these guys together are fantastic.they bat off one another love it.Matthew is a beautiful-soul.

[@spec10]

Late to the party I guess, but man am I glad I finally arrived. So used to seeing Stephen fanboying hard every now an then, and I love it every time it happens, but man is it nice to see someone genuinely fanboying about him, and then having it be Matt McConaughey, mind blown :D

[@williamflatley9092]

Possibly one of the funniest shows on TV. It is really difficult to find on youtube, A couple here and there... Does anyone remember Amy posing as the model for a sculpture of a squirrel? or "Vicki! You've got to get it together!", then of course Salmon..... Classic!!! Please release more!!!! Brilliant!!

[@Popcultureguy3000]

SALMON!

[@dexobj]

That was amazing. I was never really interested in Matthew McConaughey but this video alone made me a fan. The guy has such presence and charisma. The scene alone where he describes the porch is gold!

[@marctouss1862]

McConaughey and Tim Olyphant are hands down the best late night guests ever..

[@ruuu48]

such genuine laugh from Mathew.. 3:29

[@pwk22]

The "pulling me closer to myself" line was spoken by Paul Dinello. I loved Exit 57.

[@caitlinerickson7355]

I love Exit 57, but it is kinda hard to find. 🎼"My wife left me for a man named Jesus..."🎼

[@luckyjasonfan]

God bless you, Matthew!!! This was AMAZING! 😄

[@DonCS]

3:26 needs to become a meme

[@kevinfromsales6842]

Matthew is such a gem.

[@dery265]

loved loved loved this

[@jessyjulie5506]

I have to watch this now

[@minimaxi1358]

McConaughey and Colbert need to have their own comedy show. That's a bromance for the ages.

[@masterwesty]

I can’t believe how happy Mathew is.

[@fyredust960]

"Man that's a pubic wig" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DEAD

[@PietroMaira80sAreAwesome]

So going to watch that series now, I bet if that was out now. It would have caught on way more.

[@rylter]

I'm not pushing you away, I'm pulling me closer to myself. 🤣

[@audible67]

Exit57 was THE shit. 'Honey Pie' and 'Salmon' are still two of the funniest things ever. My friend, Amber, still has no idea why I say " Amber git over heeere" and laugh myself stupid. Colbert, release the tapes! Release the tapes! Release the tapes!

[@Popcultureguy3000]

I just started looking Exit 57 skits on KZbin, my favorites so far are 'Bottomless Lake' and 'Salmon'.

[@audible67]

Popcultureguy3000 good stuff!

[@pacmanshooter247]

SALMON!

[@greenvelvet]

Holy shit. Colbert and Paul used that same line in 'strangers with Candy'. Classic

[@jessicagibson3561]

He's awesome....xo

[@vaishnavi1798]

just watch his hands as a body language .......goodness so soft!!!! haha he is matthew cant say any words.

[@wildsheepc]

I loved Exit 57 too! One of the reasons I have always been searching for new covers of "If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked a Cake." Haven't found the right one yet! Anyone know who sang the one that was used for their theme?

[@jerminator8384]

what an awesome video two of the best

[@aim6613]

Favorite Late Night interview followed along by James Franco, also interviews by Colbert. Stephen was on fire during 2017.

[@lagaman11]

Too funny!!!

[@raytee1999]

What a storyteller!

[@manmanderson]

I'm definitely going to see dark tower.

[@distortion20]

This is awesome. I thought I was the only one who was obsessed with Exit 57. could never understand why it was canceled. I spent so many years looking for the Jesus song ( one of my favorite things) that I forgot Stephen was on it. Comedy Central should replay them all. Every time I see a cake I think of the opening song...lol

[@GiantSandles]

He's so cool he can just start throwing out this weird hand gestures out of nowhere and nobody thinks anything of it

[@Bobmob25]

My favorite Stephen Colbert is Strangers with Candy.

[@RKroese]

Stephen Colbert should collude to make movies like Leslie Nielson did.

[@radmehrabdolahi1346]

A true actor...

[@viksaggu9085]

Mathew fanboyong out on Stephen is epic

[@vittorianamarianetti5425]

Quanto sei bello!

[@alexanderjbf]

I think Exit 57 may be about to get a re-release :)

[@spunz83ify]

BASF....man I have not seen that in a looooong time.

[@sassyest8292]

Such a fanboy! So awesome

[@billiebowe]

The red bottoms tho😍. I'm so superficial 😂 #dontjudgeme

[@Progressive90]

That laugh at 3:26... Again and again!

[@reidsmith8739]

Matthew is the definition of cool..

[@AbhijayPaul]

*ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT*

[@christianfinkbeiner684]

Exit 57 was awesome. 1995 was when I first saw Comedy Central. We had a satellite dish. Exit 57, Kids in the Hall, Politically Incorrect. Awesome. The '90s were cool. Now sucks.

[@johnrperry5897]

So I guess the mullet is back in style

[@monicanavarro2906]

God, I hope not!

[@alalalala57]

John R Perry Only when he does it.

[@gangsterj73]

It would be a dream come true if Matthew McConaughey and Benedict Cumberbatch star in a movie.

[@ericbone3266]

In my heart, I wish he had brought up Salmon.

[@gezblair]

Anyone remember Kids from the Hall?

[@legomypancakes]

McConaughey should do voiceover work

[@dragoncurveenthusiast]

www.imdb.com/title/tt0166039/ The thing has only 140 ratings, no episode descriptions or even a single picture. Stephen wasn't kidding when he talked about how few people know that show.

[@NightSparrow107]

The whole I'm not pushing you away I'm pulling me towards myself ends up being used a couple times since then. First in Strangers with Candy the tv with Jellineck saying the line to go off and become an artist while Noblet was jealous of not pursuing his rockstar dreams. In the Movie version Noblet says it as he's breaking up with Jellineck in the beginning. (DINELLO'S WRITING IS A1 SERIOUSLY)

[@shershi86]

Swc for life yooo

[@christianv-h3278]

Why does it seem like everyone has forgotten MMC's role as John "Coop" Cooper from Interstellar?

[@justinhamilton8647]

Now reenact the bit where Stephen kissed Paul.

[@Popcultureguy3000]

I'd love to see The Late Show reenact the "Bottomless Lake' skit with Charlie Day taking Paul's place.

[@philsnyder7426]

Never missed Exit 57. Only a dope couldn't see its greatness. I have always been partial to The Rattler.

[@jamiebutton4458]

Exit 57 was an incredible show. Check out the song "My Wife Left Me For A Guy Named Jesus"

[@dreamsatsea]

What did they bleep out at 0:57??? I don't think he swore

[@channelVlogger]

Didn't know BASF had VHS tapes even oversea

[@sunrain4820]

Full blown

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

Say what you want, he's a force of nature in front of a camera. As a deep drama club kid thespian, I feel like he's trolling most everyone with his life, endorsement, and public comments. Andy Kaufman style, but without letting anyone know he's a comedian.

[@randomking52849one]

3:26 - 3:28 golden laugh...

[@wannabefolkie]

I used to watch Exit 57! I didn’t realize Stephen Colbert was on that! (And why am I commenting on a video posted over one year ago?)
