We'll discuss what went down and what the fans thought throughout the entire ordeal. In addition, we'll start off by showcasing other awkward moments that took place for the Colbert.
Stephen Colbert Underwent A Few Awkward Interviews In The Past
Let's just say Stephen Colbert had had a few awkward instances in the past with countless celebs. Who can forget his interview alongside Casey Affleck, which started off completely off the rails when Stephen Colbert made a comment about his appearance. From then on, the two were going back and forth at one another for the remainder of the interview.
"Thanks for dressing up," he immediately joked. "I can't tell whether this choice is like the least celebrity thing to do or the most celebrity thing to do because it's very casual."
Affleck would try to change the subject by the host was clearly in a mood.
"Until I get to my joke," the comedian sassed. "It's not a joke though. You really look like a street corner Jesus."
"We should probably end up fighting at the end of this," Colbert admitted. "It feels like this is where this is going."
Affleck shouldn't feel too bad as clearly, he's not alone. Richard Branson also underwent problems of his own with the host, throwing a cup of water in Colbert's face. Other honorable mentions according to EW include Eric Schmidt, Diane Keaton, Philip Mudd, and a few others.
We can also add Kristen Stewart to that list...
Touching Kristen Stewart's Wire Would Lead To The Interview Going Completely Off The Rails
From the start of the interview, things were awkward right out of the gate, as Colbert and Stewart gave each other a weird embrace. During the first bit of the interview, everything seemed to be going fine as Stewart was discussing her new film. However, things would get completely derailed when out of nowhere, Colbert would touch Stewart's microphone on her chest, without any warning whatsoever.
Things would get worse as Colbert would attack the chain that much more aggressively, leaving the 'Twilight' star with a confused look on her face.
The interview appeared to go downhill from that point on, as Colbert proceeded with a Donald Trump Twitter exchange question, one that had taken place years ago and clearly, a question she had answered numerous times in the past. Nonetheless, Stewart was a pro, addressing the question, though she wasn't all too talkative about the matter.
After the interview, fans blamed the host for the affairs going south.
Fans Weren't Pleased With Colbert's Questions And Actions Throughout The Interview With Stewart
"I love Stephen but I think there is room for improvement with his interviewing. It's not his strongest suit. Sometimes it's great but he can be quite hit and miss. Maybe it's because he's such a master at everything else that I notice it more but he's had more than his fair share of awkward interview moments."
As this fan mentioned on Reddit, Colbert's interview alongside Stewart wasn't his best work. That sentiment was echoed by several fans as according to the general feedback, Colbert struggles when it comes to certain styles of interviews.
"Colbert's never been the best interviewer when it comes to pop culture and film media. I don't think he's a big TV/Movie watcher, so he doesn't have the same interest or ability to ask the fun questions you'd expect. He's great on politics, religion, business because those are things he genuinely finds interesting."
Fans on YouTube also seem to agree, the interview was not good and in truth, Stewart might never be back again.
"Why would you bring up her cheating in the past?? I have a feeling she will never be back on that show."
Not the way either of the two wanted the interview to go but hey, at least the awkwardness will live on forever.
