It's so ... meta.

[@BadgerUKvideo]

I tip my hat to you sir.

[@khumarchauhan1231]

Did his math right. 62 times 7 is 434. Good stuff

[@mdomjotuygvgyaqvvto6555]

​@@alexfatzinger9584 Yes, and that math was fairly easy too anyway

[@martinkinn]

@@alexfatzinger9584 this is obviously an improv so he calculated that on the spot.

[@withoutlimits16]

Or you can do (60 x 7) + (2 x 7) :)

[@ShotgunForFun]

@Justen Smith No, that was multiplication, which is one form of math. You're thinking of the class that teaches multiple forms... so Maths.

[@mathewbyoung]

@Justen Smith This may come as a shock, but different cultures have different uses of shared languages.

[@Alvicbar]

His math is spot on.. gotta give em props for that

[@rrbaggett7]

@Justen Smith THANK YOU! I've yet to hear a Brit or Canadian make that mistake. I'm an American & it irritates me to no end when people say or write "math."

[@xGD0G]

@Justen Smith Thanks David Mitchell.

[@Swift2001]

Justen Smith Maths is the British slang. Math is the American slang.

[@weaselsdawg]

Justen Smith You clearly have no understanding of how language functions. It’s a dynamically evolving thing and to be as rigidly prescriptive as you are, especially about a country 3000 miles away is anachronistic and frankly just an exercise in futility. Regional dialects even exist within the UK and within England, so pretending like the United States shouldn’t have differences in language beyond your arbitrarily imposed limit is completely ridiculous.

[@jerimayavondristen9955]

@DEVANSH He assumed it was joke and is basically playing the straight man in this interview.

[@ryanw7196]

lol Colbert thought his answer of 434 was schtick but he was actually giving the right answer.

[@mc.9-]

Which is precisely the point

[@highflowerfairy2554]

@xxGodx He did it in literally three seconds. I just timed it. That's slow? Okay bud.

[@ThoughtGaze]

@xxGodx oh get over urself

[@ThoughtGaze]

@xxGodx i have a master's in physics. get over yourself with your cheap parlor tricks. learn some real math.

[@ThoughtGaze]

@xxGodx look at how insecure you are. my degree in physics wasn't brought up to impress you. instead just to show you how stupid you are to say that i can't do math when i teach it. "no one cares about how fast you can multiply", was, and is still, my point. grow up. let me explain it to you in a way you might be able to understand. if no one cares about my physics degree (which is approximately true), think of how much less people care about your speedy ability to do 2 by 1 digit multiplication lol

I love how excited Stephen gets when he has a really creative and funny guest on the show. He knows he's going to have a good time.

[@catalinacurio]

Stephen, when I watch your show it’s like being given a much needed warm hug. 😁💙💙💙💙

[@bobbybrinker]

When he asked if he had slept with anyone for an interview, he should've said "Well, I'm here aren't I, Stephen?"

I am sure a no talent bum like Ferrell just fashioned himself after the wonderful Burgundy. Very unethical, but what else would we expect from Hollywood. 😎

[@Enigma2K99]

Ferrell WISHES he was that handsome. I be next you'll say something else silly... like Deadpool kinda looked like Ryan Reynolds under the mask. ; )

He is Will Ferrell. :) That's the joke.

[@Freiheit1232]

Honestly, Colbert should continue interviewing fictional characters so we can get a break from Trump.

[@christopherhuff3123]

He should devote his whole show to insulting that inhuman piece of shit every night.

[@arthurwatts1680]

Completely agree with the other two replies - Stephen and every other late night host needs to keep the heat on Trump. I get that people are completely over the endless scandals, and many of us feel powerless to do anything about the criminal cabal sitting in the Oval Office as I type this. The suggestion that he's grooming Ivanka (work with me..) for a run in 2024 just sends a chill down my spine.

[@josuegonzalez3660]

Ya just had to turn this political didn’t ya? Well I’m voting for trump. Trump 2020!! Before you say anything I’m a Hispanic gen z New Yorker, do yourself a favor and do real research! Trump is going to be in office for a while he’s done more for this country in just one day than you probably ever will. Dems are the real idiots who hate America and are racists. You’re in trump world now, get used to it cuz it’s gonna be a great long ride! Trump has hired more people immigrants than you ever will, if you ask his employees about him they love him. He gives thousands of people jobs both from his businesses under him we’ve had most people off of unemployment and off of Foodstamps. He’s made several programs that are beneficial for Hispanic and black communities. You’re just a sad sore looser without common sense.

[@gregdiamond5355]

Will Ferrell is hilarious, especially his Harry Cary impersonation. I wonder the taping schedule. Tonight he did kümmel, Colbert, and Corden that I know of. He probably did Fallon and Meyers too.

[@Mary_Jacobs]

He did! How?!?

[@Mary_Jacobs]

I only knew he did Fallon Kimmel and Seth, now seeing Colbert and hearing Corden. Kimmel is in LA! Either pre-taped or he did all the New York shows early, private jet to LA and did Kimmel late? Where is Corden filmed? This is my new favorite mystery.

Oh, and Conan!!
