On Wednesday night’s episode of “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert was on the other end of “The Colbert Questionnaire,” and he had an all-star lineup of guests to deliver the questions.
Journalist John Dickerson introduced each guest as they appeared, and first up to bat was Billy Crystal. He asked Colbert, “What is the best sandwich?”
While “a tomato sandwich” was Colbert’s favorite summertime snack, he added, “The rest of the year, wherever you are, hot pastrami on rye with a little bit of mustard, and if the guy behind the counter is willing, little coleslaw. And if it’s not kosher deli, I’ll take a little muenster on there.”
Later came Josh Brolin, who asked Colbert, “What’s the scariest animal?” Colbert answered, “The scariest animal to me is a trapdoor spider. Little sand, nothing wrong. They come out, and they pull you back in. Here’s the part that’s even scarier than that, Josh Brolin. A scientist named a trapdoor spider after me.”
Before leaving, Brolin gifted Colbert a ship in a bottle. It was engraved with the phrase, “May you always glide through life’s sometime tulutous waters.”
