Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.
In case you're wondering. Bay Cities Deli's Godmother sandwich: Freshly baked crusty bread, four Italian meats (Genoa Salami, Mortadella Cappacola, Ham and Prosciutto) plus Provolone plus “The Works” (mayo, mustard, onions, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, homemade Italian dressing and pickled hot or mild peppers)
Oh my!❤
Thanks...I was really curious.
For years, I used to work two block from Bay Cities, and we used to go there at least a couple times a week for sandwiches. Their godmother is famous and sells the most, but honestly, all of their sandwiches are amazing! They also bake their own bread, so if you're lucky, you can get your hands on fresh bread warm out of the oven. 😋
I've had it. Its nice. But I found myself gravitating towards this Cheesesteak food truck & others near that Hulu office area.
😋
That earliest memory answer was BEAUTIFUL, Colbert jokes about being 'fully known' but he laid himself completely bare with that one, wow
Matt's answer to THAT one made me bawl my eyes out. Came here to make a comment on his answer, but I could not put it as succinctly as your comment!! Spot on description of Matt's answer!!!
You can see Colbert chocked and was barely pulling it together
I think that’s why everyone loves Matt Damon, if they’ve ever seen him on a talk show. He seems so honest and real, never afraid to give sincerely personal answers.
Unfortunately, when my parents passed away, I was living abroad, so I had no chance to say goodbye or stay by their side at the end of their lives. But years ago, I had such a powerful dream that I was visiting them at their home, and they embraced me one by one and gave me a kiss. This feeling was so real that I could feel their perfume. Each time that I tried to tell my wife or a friend about it, I missed my voice, and tears started rolling from my eyes, and I gave up to tell it. So I know Matt's feeling. 😢
Every child, EVERY Child deserves to have that feeling.
Man, that genuine 'we go home' answer hit hard for me. Respected him before this interview, but he really impressed me during this.
Don't you think he could have been a bit more specific?
If by home you mean the same place you were before you were born (nowhere) then sure, great answer 🙄
Could not agree more!
the audience didn't get it at all :)
@@refresco Exactly. What did you think it could mean?
Absofuckinglutely GREAT cat story.
Right! They could make a movie about it. I bet they do.
I agree!!!!
@b-dub6865 a movie about a cat who on his lowest moments was saved by becoming a drug addict...Id watch that 😂😂
Im from Costa Rica and i can confirmed that animals here are tough AF. You will be surprised how tough is a wild sloth in the jungle.
I'm not sure Chad was an actual doctor... 😆
When Matt got “stuck” in Ireland during covid lockdowns, he was known for being incredibly nice with the locals and very friendly to anyone who approached him to say hi. The Irish basically adopted him as one of our own (whether he was aware of that or not). Never heard a bad word said about him!
Now that you say that, I don't think that I've ever (and he's been around for a long time) heard of anything bad involving him.... well, his character, anyway. Now, some of his characters, that's another story.
Exactly same thing happened here in Australia. He’s mates with Chris Hemsworth so he spends a lot of time here and he gets out and about meeting locals and going to local markets and shows. Australians have adopted him too!
Besides being a great actor and movie star Matt is a real person and it shows in his work and all the serious charities he's involved with. He can take a joke and is a gracious being.
Him and Keanu are always so respectful and respected
Matt Damon looks and behaves as though he had a very good upbringing.
Family. Friends. Work. Service. Joy. ❤
Yeah. Profound. Especially _service_ giving back is a huge responsibility he clearly takes very seriously… he is extraordinary in his chivalry and generosity very inspiring!
What a great human he is. ❤
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. ❤
❤
I think I'm in love 💜
Jimmy Kimmel is somewhere shaking his fist saying, "damn you Matt Damon." 😂😂😂😂
*GirrrLLL you cRaZy 🤣. I can see Kimmel starting tonight's show watching the ending of this interview while Jimmy's punching 👊 air.* 😂
Jimmy Kimmel pound sand.
You beat me to it 😂 they must be great buddies but I'd love to see Kimmel's reaction to this too ❤
@@SolaceEasywhat's wrong with Kimmel? I like them all but he's my favorite because he picks on Chump endlessly 😅
Jimmy's videos with Sarah Silverman after they broke up I'm Fing Matt Damon and the later I'm Fing Ben Affleck were the funniest things I have ever seen.
Matt talking about his dad holding him.... ahhhh 😢 beautiful.
🥺 And today is my Dad's birthday... RIP 🪦🎂
Matt Damon doesn't give glib or trite answers. He's deeper than most celebrities & that's why we love him! 💚
he's an actor and an entertainer. calling him a celebrity is basically comparing him to mama june or some jersey shore pleb. once you separate the two groups you'll find many actor/entertainer/performers are not shallow.
@obscurereference6298 no, it's not basically comparing him to anyone specific...but other celebrities. He's an actor, an entertainer and a celebrity. It's not a one or the other deal.
@@melissabarbosa-gx7np when you say celebrity you encompass a much broader group. So it hurts the professional people for thinks like "celebrities do tax scams and go to prison" when it's reality shitters that pull that crap. but obviously in semantics you are correct. actors are celebs. but the negative sterotypes on celebs are bleeding into people like Matt for no reason other than the word celebrity.
Exactly….he keeps it real !
I think Matt Damon has won the Colbert Questionert. I didn't even think it was a competition, but he gave such great answers and told stories so well, I will be unable not to compare and contrast future celebrities' Quesionerts with Matt Damon's.
Had the exact same thought, thanks for posting
Arnold did really well also
Keano's answers are still my favorite
Keanu's answers really touched me. He another "celebrity" who has a reputation for being just the nicest human being!
Matt Damon and Ryan Gosling. I loved his answers too. And he said the most dangerous animal is man.
I really like this guy. He's the only one I've ever heard take this quiz and say service
Matt is a genuine superhero. By rights he should be one of our tribal leaders.
That did stand out…explains a lot about that guy…and joy: came last. Someone’s folks did a good job.
Daniel Craig was good, too.
I loved that he included that too - and not at all surpised.
@@cravinghibiscus7901he literally isn't, & he'd admit that
Matt Damon is like your really nice neighbor that you talk to at the fence line while you’re out doing yard work. Sharing pleasantries, gardening tips, and thoughts about the new neighborhood rules. He’s so down to earth you feel like you could pass him on the sidewalk and say “Hey, Matt!” and he would smile back and say hey to you. Super guy; great actor. 😊
Jimmy Kimmel begs to differ 😊.
That is literally the perfect description. He's exactly that guy
@@BigLar56321 I love that feud, it has been a source of such fun and insanity over the years.
He is deep into the WEF.
didn't he meet his wife in a bar? It's similar to the neighbor/ffence thing i suppose. Fame never made him cocky, he's just having fun. As an actor too, going at it with Affleck, inviting Williams for his movie. Smooth operator ;)
He’s so likeable. And I also now want to see a picture of his cat.
My father passed away this morning at 3:00 am, so I decided to have a little escape by watching some KZhead videos. I came across this one, not expecting much. When Matt talks about the dream with his father, it broke me. I hope I can have the same dream soon as my father has meant so much to me. Thank you Mr. Colbert for not letting this go to the cutting room floor.
I hope you have a dream like that, too. 💗
Condolences 😢
So sorry for your loss. I hope you do have that dream. 🙏🏼
So sorry to hear about the recent loss of your father. Praying you have great memories and dreams of your dad always.
Condolences 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
It says a lot about him that he feels a responsibility for a stray cat he's been feeding. That's such a good character trait
The 'I think we go home' comment just made me really, really teary. I'm agnostic, but that would be the best thing. All the pets you ever had just running to you going 'finally Mum!!!'
Love how he answers each question with a little anecdote
Great storytelling by Matt Damon. Matt should write the movie 🎬 about that cat story and get 🐈 Neurologist, Dr. Chad played by -Ben Affleck- Jimmy Kimmel. 🤓 🎥 BOX Office Gold Baby... 💵
I took the high-speed train from Brussels (Belgium) to London to see Matt Damon in a theatrical play (This is Our Youth). He came down the street, like the average Joe, spent five minutes signing autographs outside the theater, and walked inside. 👍 (I got his autograph too)
Sounds like a pretty gay thing to do
😍
I will listen to Matt Damon every single day. Dude is a champion and a well experienced person who knows how to talk to people
Agreed. I have never found him to be a good actor at all but he did a great interview here and was a really good story teller. Makes me wonder why his acting in movies isn't better.
@@carolinedelisle589even Good Will Hunting? That is his best work.
I didn't think I could like Matt Damon any more but after the cat story 🥰🥰
This is my favorite Questionert so far...brought tears to my eyes by the time he was done...beautiful soul. ❤
I've always loved Matt Damon, but after this cat story, i'll forever admire him 💕
Wow I could listen to Matt all day! I never realized what a great story teller he is!!!
Have you seen the 1997 movie he cowrote w Ben Affleck? Good Will Hunting. (4/01/2024)
@@super8guy many many times!
Same! What a great guy. Who wouldn’t love this man based on this interview??
I was genuinely sad when it ended😪
Was thinking the same thing! What a great guy
When my mom died just like Matt I went to sleep 3 days later and I had a dream .. it was our old house when I was a child and a car parks in front and my mom walked in and sat next to me on our old couch and hugged me and said “everything is going to be okay” then I woke up
The cat's living Matt Damon's movies in real life.
Consider how lucky that cat is!
Think of how lucky Matt and his family is to be found and adopted by that magnificent beast! (In Arnold's voice) -"It's not a toooma!"
"You can cut this for time" Poor baby is still traumatized after all these years
Matt thank you for the beautiful answer. my dad passed in late 2016, and he came to me in a dream and hugged me, but I was a teenager at the time. a warm loving embrace that was real. thank you for that reminder, man. beautiful memory shared.
You referring to Jimmy. Just saw something the other day & it said he needs to be the final guest on that show, have a long conversation, but then get interrupted to say sorry were out of time, thanks for x years, I love you, goodbye! & close with a shot of a stunned/angry matt, then pause it
@@kurtsudheim825 That's genius!!
The single best televised celebrity interview I have ever seen. Quick, honest, open, funny. The real deal. I had the pleasure of spending about 15 minutes with him once. Would like to do it again sometime.
I think he's married to a woman you can settle down now twink
Matt is so charming and seems like such a good person. And he really knows how to tell a story. He found his calling in life.
'how you like them apples?' for the ones wondering why he said apples and refered to it this way. It's from his movie that launched his career, Good Will Hunting.
Thanks I was wondering 😊
As soon as he said, "Apples," I shouted, " How do you like them apples?" 🍎🍎🍎🍎
I was pretty sure the audience yelled that but wasn’t positive. 🤣
This is the best Colbert Questionnaire episode so far! Mahalo. Matt Damon!
Wow Matt what a tremendous incredible cat story 😢❤ Thanks for saving him. You are an incredible actor and person.
Agreed. Would love to see what his Cat looks like.
my Bun was 12.5 when she passed....now im a little angry no one suggested the steroid option. Thats what "population health" means. taxed heavily but will be given lethal dose after turning 65 (all gov do that. Dont look surprised.) They'll hit u with the "it's not legal" shebang while one particular slice of the population lives to 120. Watch.
I love that he took his time answering each question with a story. Best episode ever.
This interview actually did help reveal more about Matt Damon. Loved his stories.
I know this is completely subjective, but I think Matt Damon wins the best Colbert Questionert award
Easily the best Colbert Questionert I've ever seen. Matt Damon is such a genuine, thoughtful and kind person.
I am surprised that the audience did not react more when he mentioned Holly Near. Matt has a very cool mother.
Yes! Holly Near a favorite of mine also. (I’m a Berkeley mom too)
Thats a tough cat!
It’s Jason’s Bournes cat , of course it’s tough!
I was gonna skip this video because I already love Matt Damon. But wow. Glad I came.
Why would you skip something you already love?
@@FesslerRing . Oh, just felt like I'd been online a long time. I can't watch everything, but I can try! So I'm glad I did.
Matt Damon is as awesome and intelligent as thought 👏👏
More intelligent.... in real life he has a super high IQ.
I love this duo so much, Stephen and Matt are both always so sincere and genuinely kind and nice.
Matt had DEFINITELY watched the Colbert Questionnaire before - he was prepped with his 5 words!
Maybe, but he didn't know what number Colbert was thinking of. (It was 3)
I Fuq'n Knew iT Was 3, too. 🤪🤭
@@OriginalPiManI think his choice of a Lennon song and then picking 9 is interesting because John was born on the 9th and had a thing about that number- which is why I always chose it as my uniform number. I think Matt likewise is a big Lennon fan like me.

Exactly! Matt was ready to answer right away with a story
Matt Damon was voted "Most Friendly American Celebrity To Interview" by 85% of Australian journalists.
Some people radiate the kind of appeal that puts you at ease just by their mere presence; Matt Damon is one of those people.
😊 No matter, I like Matt Damon, this Colbert Questionnaire was awesome 🌟🌟 🥰🇨🇦
The dad story actually made me teary
I knew there must be a goo reason why I have always loved Matt Damon. He’s a fine human being.
1:19 Name that tune! “We are a Gentle Angry People”, by Holly Near, written in the wake of the assassination of Harvey Milk
3:06 I one hundred percent agree Matt Damon, it brought tears to my eyes to hear you say it, I hope we meet when we go home, I’ve always thought you were an incredible soul.
family, friends, work, service, joy
I was ecstatic that another person had the same experience as I did! A year or so after my dad passed, I experienced the most joy-filled sensation of peace, well-being, calm, beautiful love... words can not express the FEELINGS that swept through me. I KNEW it was my dad's beautiful soul letting me know to stay the good path...he would see me on the other side. ✌️& ❤
The Questionert is my absolute favorite segment. Matt Damon is an excellent Storyteller, so this was an excellent episodes. I am down with The Matrix as favorite action movie. His thoughts about his father was deep and lovely. Cat story was incredible.
Love Matt Damon!
What a fabulous person. I met Matt Damon in North Miami, at an old deli-place called: Epicure….such a gentleman and totally authentic! Love the questions, Stephen…it really does ‘penetrate’ the soul!
Listening to Matt’s story about his dad, I went from a fan to super fan. Then the story of his cat, Matt Damon is an awesome, sweet, wonderful person!!!!
Two Wonder Full human beings together in Peace and Openess .. Sweet 😊
Matt seems like a very down to earth guy. The kind of guy you could have a beer with and shoot the breeze.
Matt Damon just got another Fan! 15 questions. 15 Great Answers!
Damon is such a class act! Kind, interesting, articulate, down to earth! A role model for all.
What an honest and a true person...love Matt!!!!❤
One of the best "you are fully known" interviews. I've always liked Matt Damon in his movie roles, and I enjoyed him in this interview, I have watched several of these Colbert "Questionerts"; this one seemed the most authentic to me.
How could you not take 5 seconds to ask him what’s in the Godmother sandwich????
What a lovely man Matt Damon. Great interview and stories.
Can we have him cloned? He is such a rare breed. This is my favorite Colbert Interview. He put so much thought into each question. He’s got to be an amazing husband, father, friend, and son! I’ve always loved him but now he’s next level. His last answer says it all!😍🥰😘
FINALLY someone said The Matrix, which is the correct answer.
i like how he said he recently made it into the academy and voted for The Matrix for Best picture. that was 24 years ago!
Bah, nothing but seizure-inducing cgi. Definitely an 80's kid generational thing. (Yes, I know it was realesed in 1999). The premise of machines needing humans as living batteries has got to be one of the stoooopidest ideas ever. Besides the Matrix is in the sci-fi genre, not action. Now the Jason Bourne movies are great in the action catagory.
@@ricknoyb1613 It's sci-fi and action. Not all sci-fi films are action films. The Matrix definitely is.
@@ricknoyb1613 First of all it, is of the sci-fi action category. Second, the cgi is actually insane for 1999. And third, how is the idea of farming organics to convert to power " the stoooopidest idea ever"? But its ok we can't all have good taste.
Sandra bullock also said the matrix
I first really appreciated Matt Damon through THAT Graham Norton interview...now every time I see a Matt Damon interview, I watch it. Sound fella.
By THAT Graham Nortan interview do you mean the one where he’s promoting the Monuments Men? Where everyone is wearing burgundy?
@@wilhelmina8843 Yes!
@@wilhelmina8843I started paying attention to his interviews after Ive seen one where he talked about Tom Cruise… now I have to look for that where they’re *wearing burgundy* 😅
This was a good one. Matt Damon tells a great story. Always entertaining and certainly heartfelt.
Yep. He's as lovely as we thought.
Wow ..love the cat story...made my day😂
Damon seems like a genuine nice person to be around &/or work with. He gave some insightful & heartfelt answers/stories too.
As Harvard do. #veritas
Might be the best interview i've seen on this show....
i love this interview, mainly because usually matt tells the same stories over and over but these are completely new.
Kimmel should have this guy on sometime. I think theyd get along 😂 Matt is just a spectacular chap and a credit to his wonderful mum. You can tell when families nurture their kids with information and kindness
Psssst, Kimmel was punching 👊 air during this entire interview. 😳 🤭🤣
How can you not really, really like Matt Damon? Smart, articulate...so down to earth...and funny. For all the success he's had over the years...he's still one grounded dude. Rare these days.
Matt Damon is a guy I don’t wanna like… but I really do. Seems like a great man.
I adore him! Such a sweet first memory ❤️
Gotta say, the best "Colbert Questionert" I've ever watched!! Matt Damon strikes me as somebody that I would really enjoy having a beer with!!
Daniel Craig was great, too
This was Keanu reeves quality answers , with the cat storey giving him the edge. What a great guy he comes across as !
I guess we better go watch that movie that he's in, whatever it's called, so that people continue to want to cast him, so that he has a reason to come back on to late shows, so we can see him some more at his best.
First memory In the playpen with Neno the German shepherd... he was devoted to me always
Dude in 9 minutes told the best pet story I have ever heard, answered one of the most important questions in life, told the most beutifil first memory story. The Matt Damon.
What a genuine human being. Love Matt..
His answer to "Where do we go when we die".... best answer I've heard for any question.
Can we appreciate the fact that they sung "We are a anti nuclear people" and then he LITERALLY played one of the guys who made the A-Bomb happen..that is legit!
Aw, Damon is just a big softy & I mean that in the best possible way....
Didnt think i could like Matt anymore than i do but yes, i can , he is a truly beautiful person.
Matt Damon, quality human being
Lovely interview with a truly nice guy. Love the cat story. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
I have always adored Matt Damon. This questioner only reinforced it. He is a lovely man.
2:34 "Apples. 🤷♂😅🙄😆" - _Will Hunting, 27 years later_
This man has so much depth ❤
"How do like them oranges?" Yeah, doesn't work. Great questionnaire. Damon really took the assignment seriously of "being known".
Matt Damon, what an incredible actor and human being.
By far my fav episode of Colbert Q.
For me, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Keanu Reeves are the coolest guys in Hollywood.
Pitt left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie, I have a problem with that, he broke my heart!
@02:32 He looked at audience if anyone remembers Good Will Hunting: "How Do You Like Them APPLES" ❤️❤️
Love Matt! Very talented and very handsome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Damon is so down to earth, humble, a gifted actor and hilariously funny. Never fails to entertain.
I love Holly Near. So great that his mom took him to see her when he was a kid
Best smile ever-Matt Damon. And what a lovely man 😁😎❤️❤️
Matt's smile is top 2 with Denzel 😁😁
Definitely. I'm sure that's why they chose the thumbnail
Matt Damon is the absolute best of the best💙💙💙🙏 love both Damon and Colbert ❤️❤️❤️
