Stephen Colbert accidentally calls ‘Late Show’ the wrong name on air

Even Stephen Colbert was shocked when he accidentally called The late show by the bad name on the air this week.

The late evening host may have been preparing to ask Eddington Star Joaquin Phoenix if he participated in the recurring segment of the program Le Questionner by Colbert in Thursday’s episode, but his brain seemed much more concerned to take a little walk in the past.

“There is this thing we do here The Colbert report… Oh my God! “Exclaimed Colbert by grabbing the error, turning to the camera with admiration and covering his mouth with his hand.

While the crowd – and Phoenix – applauds and laughs from the Flub, he added: “I want you to know – wait! I want you to know – wait!”

The actor quickly broke out in his own laughs. “In September, I will do 10 years of this show,” he told Phoenix. “I have never done this before. This is the first time in 10 years.”

“Support me!” He added, calling for the show group. “This is the first time in 10 years.”

He then explained that the error came from the capacity of Phoenix to “something of me” that even he did not expect.

“You fell for this oyster,” said Colbert, to which the delighted actor replied: “I’m sorry!”

“You see, but that’s what I want to do with my questions because we here The late show… “, he continued, putting more emphasis on the real name of the show”, we found this system by which we can know the people very quickly, very deeply. I mean, really, the person is fully known. “”

He concluded: “Are you ready to face the question of Colbert?”

It turns out that Phoenix was not Prepared for the power of Colbert questioning, because he fought with almost all the questions, which went to “what happens when we die?” Fitted “apples or oranges”? “”

This last question perplexed Phoenix so strong that his indecision began to draw the groans of the public. “I want you to be happy!” He admitted. “You have the power to modify this. I don’t want you to be angry when it is being changed!”

But Colbert was ready to appease his concerns. “It’s not a trap,” he said. “I am not a trap spider – the most frightening of all spiders.”

Phoenix, at the end, chose both fruits.

But the actor continued to wade when he was asked to appoint his favorite action film, which led him to forget the name of each action film that ever existed. The public finally selected Gladiator – A film in which he literally played – and the quiz pressed.

“Do others find it difficult to do this, or I am the only one? As, everyone is like [snaps fingers]? “Phoenix asked, to which Colbert replied:” I do not pierce you as in difficulty with this. I perceive you as not playing at all. “”

The host continued: “No. I mean, people have different reactions to that. Some people – like Sting was a Lickety -Split. He tore the questions very quickly. Owen Wilson, it’s quite long.”

Phoenix replied strongly: “Well, I want the record.”

Consider it. “Joaquin, I have good news for you,” said Colbert laughing. “You broke this thing a long time ago. You were red on a favorite sandwich.”

On a much darker note, Thursday’s episode also included Colbert’s announcement that The late show would finish his 33 -year -old race on CBS in 2026.

“Let me tell you, it’s a fantastic work. I want someone else to have it,” he said. “And it’s a job that I can’t wait to do with this usual idiotic gang for another 10 months. It will be fun.”

Look at Colbert to forget which program he organizes – and Phoenix forgets everything else – in the clip above.
