Josh Johnson sat down with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday for his first Late Show interview, and it was a delightful chat between late night show hosts.
The Daily Show host spoke to Colbert about the pressure of being the latest addition to the lineup alongside Jon Stewart, Ronny Chieng, Desi Lydic, Jordan Klepper, and Michael Kosta, with a perfect analogy.
“When it comes to hosting, it’s so fun, and everyone is so supportive, but it is intimidating,” Johnson said. “You look at something like Daily Show, and it feels like you are borrowing your friend’s car to drive. You just want to give the keys back and be able to smile at them, like, the car is just like you left it. There’s no blood on the front grill or anything. I didn’t hit anything. I didn’t ruin it. I didn’t total it.”
Come for the Daily Show chat and Johnson’s announcement of his new HBO comedy special Symphony (out May 22), stay for his story about brass knuckles, TSA, and toe separators.
