Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another edition of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks is always for clicking and listening along.

Got a fun one for you this week

with the host of The Late Show on CBS,

none other than Stephen Colbert himself.

You may have seen Stephen recently hosting Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, who hopes to be President of the United States, sitting down on set with him, cracking a beer, and talking a little bit politics. Stephen of course took that job on the late show

in 2015 after David Letterman announced his retirement from late night.

It was an elevation from the Colbert report in which Stephen Colbert on

Comedy Central was playing a character, a cable news blowhard that he first introduced

on the Daily Show when he got that job in 1997,

so on the late show he said for the first time in his life, he had to actually play himself.

And that was a little scary, felt a little exposed, took him some time to find his footing

and eventually have the number one show in late night.

So a great conversation coming up here

with Stephen Colbert.

If you don't know, he's from Charleston, South Carolina.

He's got a cookbook out with his wonderful wife, Evie,

that includes family recipes for food and drinks

from Charleston.

Stephen has a fascinating story. You probably know it by now when he was 10 years old.

He's the youngest of 11 children, by the way. His father and two of his brothers died in a commercial plane

crash in 1974 and that in many ways has shaped his life ever since.
