It is clear, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have different approaches when it comes to interviews. That has been on full display in the past with similar guests. Some might argue that Colbert has a more serious approach, while Fallon tends to be loose and lighter in nature.

Recent interviews with Anya Taylor-Joy showed the differences between the two hosts. The actress had stunning outfits for both interviews, and it seems like the hosts had completely different reactions. Let's recap the interviews, and differences between the two.

Stephen Colbert Didn't Make A Single Reference To Anya Taylor-Joy's Stunning Bondage Dress

It might've have been Anya Taylor-Joy's best dress of all-time. She appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert wearing a bondage dress that was hanging on by 12 strings. Absolutely stunning. However, host Stephen Colbert took a classy route, and didn't make a single reference to the dress throughout the interview. Instead, the focus was strictly on Anya Taylor-Joy's career. The two discussed her lack of driving experience heading into Mad Max Furiosa. Taylor-Joy was also showing the love back, thanking Colbert for being a class act throughout her career, especially during an interview that was one of her first ever.

"You were one of my first interviews, and treated me with such kindness and respect. So thank you for that," she tells Colbert.

Anya Taylor-Joy's Late Show interview was posted two months ago, and generated over 644K views since then.

The reaction to Colbert's interview with Taylor-Joy was extremely positive among fans.

The top comments on YouTube read, "I love how she takes the opportunity at the very end of the clip to thank him for how he's always treated her. It says so much about both of them..."

"She quite literally said to him, “Will you be my friend? You are so smart and I adore you, seriously.” So. Freaking. Cool! I love them both!"

"Not only is she phenomenally gorgeous - she's incredibly grounded and down-to-earth. I remember binge-watchin' Queen's Gambit and found her to be totally enthralling, captivating and hugely talented with her acting. Love her sense of humour, too. Such a personable young woman."

Here's to hoping Taylor-Joy returns to The Late Show in the near future.

Jimmy Fallon Discussed Anya Taylor-Joy's Outfit, And Called Her Shoes Gorgeous

On the flip side, Jimmy Fallon wasted no time discussing Anya Taylor-Joy's outfit during their interview a year ago. The actress was on the show to promote her film of the time, The Menu. Right from the start, Taylor-Joy's fashion choice is discussed.

"These are fantastic," Fallon says about his guest's shoes. "These are gorgeous, look at those. They are gorgeous, I love them."

The moment was a lead into how Jimmy Fallon saved Anya Taylor-Joy's life at the Met Gala.

She recalled, "I don't know if you know this but you actually saved my life once. I was wearing a dress that was ridiculously heavy and I couldn't really move. I was just kind of trying to get through the evening and at the end of the night, I'm at the top of the stairs, and the gorgeous Hailee Steinfeld walks past me and has a very complicated, like, three-train thing, and I get wrapped up in it," she said. "And I'm like, 'Oh, I'm going to die. I'm going to die on the steps of the Met, darling.'"

At the perfect moment, Fallon came in for the save. It turned to be the perfect intro between the two stars.

"Literally just out of nowhere the hand of god came out and pulled me out of it and it was you," the Menu actress recalled. "And you were just so sweet about it. You were like, 'Hey, I'm Jimmy nice to meet you.'"

Anya Taylor-Joy has a net worth of $7 million.

Once again, fans were full of praise in the comments. However, this time, it wasn't because of the pair's chemistry. Instead, fans loved Taylor-Joy's interview conduct, and felt like Fallon missed out on a certain question.

"I wish Jimmy had brought up the fact that English isn’t even Anya’s first language! Spanish is. Amazing, since her English is so flawless and charming."

We can all agree it was a great interview in the end.

Jimmy Fallon And Stephen Colbert Have A History Of Handling Guests Differently

Fans have seen this firsthand. Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have completely different approaches to interviews. Colbert had an intimate moment with Aubrey Plaza, while the opposite held true for JImmy Fallon, as fans felt as though he was terrified of his guest.

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel have the edge on Jimmy Fallon in terms of ratings.

Guests also feel differently about both shows. Jon Lovitz in particular claims he'll only do Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, given that it isn't politically motivated compared to Colbert's Late Show.

“It’s their show. They can do whatever they want. But you’re asking me, do I like it, and I’m like, no,” Lovitz said. “If I want the news, I’ll watch the news. I’m not watching those shows. They’re late-night entertainment, but it’s all political, except for Jimmy Fallon. And they keep getting mad at Jimmy. ‘Why don’t you go into politics?’ Because he’s doing a silly, like, escapism entertainment show.”

"They were entertainment shows,”medy shows. And now, except for Jimmy Fallon, they’ve all become very political. And for me, it’s just- it’s too much.”

Fallon has kept things light over the years, while Colbert, Kimmel and Meyers continue to touch on political subjects.
