I have nothing to add, but I wanna say his first appearance on Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend is one of my favorite episodes. It's not necessarily funny, but it's a fascinating conversation nonetheless.

Oh, and if anyone hasn't watched Strangers with Candy yet, track it down and watch it! Easily top 10 underrated comedies of all time.

This dude is a lot more than this Late Show.

It's on Paramount+ and he was great as Mr. Noblet.

I occasionally come back to the time Colbert sat down with Anderson Cooper and they got onto the subject of the deaths of their parents; Colbert gave some deep answers, and Cooper went down a rabbithole afterwards of collecting stories about grief and the grieving process.

There's more to the man than the late-show format allows to show, certainly.

Plus he is absolutely fucking timeless as Phil from Harvey Birdman.

Yesss!!! I love Harvey Birdman! One of my many Adult Swim comfort watches.
