I'm really impressed by Stephen's thoughtful and insightful questions for Mr. Spielberg.

[caryhowitson]

you are such a professional interviewer. You would never see this type of interview on Jimmy Fallon. He is more of a game show host. Stephen Colbert is a classy, smart, polite man. Keep up the good work.

This man has produced so many iconic films of the last 50 years. His list is jaw dropping.

I love most talk shows but I can tell that Stephen Colbert has a love for movies, it shows and makes his interviews more interesting.

Steven Spielberg is amazing.

I have tremendous respect for him and his team, because I wrote a fan letter to him, and to my surprise his team wrote me back a personal letter and sent it in a first class FEDEX express envelope. I framed it and even sent a thank you note back.

[bukkaharshvardhan]

Stephen never fails to amaze me when he talks in a way that informs while also sensitizes. Listening to you is good for the mind as well as the heart.

[scbtripwire]

Aw, when Spielberg talks about bursting into tears at the sight of his "mother" and "father, " that really touched me, poor guy. 😞

[willmoore]

Watching this, I realize that I'm seeing two geniuses in conversation. Each a master in their craft. I've seen many interviews with Spielberg and Colbert delivered the most engaging, thoughtful and penetrating I've ever seen. I've always been a fan of Colbert, but this just blew my mind.

[susannuccio]

What a lovely intelligent conversation. I could listen to these two for hours.

[shorerocks]

One of the greatest. My wife and I were invited to a special pre-screening of Schindlers Liste. After the film, we just went home, while most others (I presume) just headed for the champagne and snacks. We weren't able to do that. That film went so deep. Cheers from Germany!

[LouMires]

Love Steven! This interview is a gift. Thank you!

[eringalvin]

Great to see Colbert's range of talent. He's a great comedian as well as a solid interviewer. 👏

[StaticBlaster]

Steven Spielberg should direct a western movie. Although he produced True Grit, which was directed by the Coen Brothers, it would be great to see him take on the challenge of directing a western himself. This would complete his repertoire of directing movies in all major genres.

[cleverusername]

Stephen once again flexing his phenomenal interviewing muscles. For a man known first as a comedian, the guy seriously has some skills

[MrWansty]

great interview but PLEASE number these segments so we can watch them in order would it be so hard ?

[vmcurry]

Colbert is an exceptional interviewer. No soft ball questions. He goes...there, wherever it is.

[nicholasdicosola]

TY, this is so great to just talk & hang out with Spielberg.

[susanrosegale]

Stephen - LOVE THESE off site interviews!! Bravo!!!

[FayePini]

Colbert's insightful questions paired with Speilbergs honesty about his life make for a riveting interview.

[israelcm]

Very brave of him to include his mother's affair in the movie. Not an easy thing to do.
