Stephen Colbert Reveals Michelle Williams as Most Distracting Guest on Late Show
Late-night host Stephen Colbert revealed that actress Michelle Williams was the guest who distracted him the most during his eleven seasons hosting The Late Show. Speaking on the Strike Force Five podcast alongside fellow hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver, Colbert admitted he was wildly attracted to Williams during her first appearance in 2019. He described feeling overwhelmed by her beauty, stating he did not know what to do with his eyeballs and avoided looking directly at her to maintain composure. The podcast episode was released to honor Colbert’s upcoming departure from the CBS program, with his final episode scheduled for May 21. In addition to Williams, Colbert name-dropped other celebrities who caught his eye, including Rachel Weisz, whom he found so intimidatingly attractive that he would sometimes leave the building before her interviews. He also reminisced about Andrew Garfield, recalling an intimate on-screen kiss they shared in 2017. The discussion highlighted the personal anecdotes and camaraderie among the five prominent late-night comedians as they celebrated Colbert’s career milestone.
