I can understand how they bonded, because theyre both leaders of superpowers, which can be isolating and sometimes I feel that way even as a late-night host, he said.
Its nice to have someone who understand what youre going through the kind of person who can finish your
Pudding, said Jon Stewart, who piped up from beneath Colberts desk, eating a container of chocolate pudding. The former Daily Show host appeared on The Late Show to promote his upcoming charity showNight of Too Many Stars: America Unites for Autism Programs.
Thelive comedy benefit airs November 18th on HBO. It will feature stand-up performances, sketches and short films by J.J. Abrams, Louis C.K., Abbi Jacobson, Ellie Kemper, Jordan Klepper, Olivia Munn, John Oliver, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and, naturally, Colbert.
Stewart also used the Colbert appearance to promote one of the several prizes that will be available during the show: One winner will sit under Colberts desk with Stewart during the hosts monologue, ask a question of his first guest and finish the punchline of one of Colberts jokes.
