Stephen Colbert’s intensely personal interview with Joe Biden on ‘The Late Show’

LA Times  

Stephen Colbert has only been hosting “The Late Show” for three days, but made an impression Thursday night in a moving interview with Vice President Joe Biden that showcased for the comedian’s serious side. “People know that you have experienced tragedies in your life and we are inspired by the way that you have responded to those,” Colbert said shortly after welcoming Biden to the stage. The vice president admitted that he felt “self-conscious talking about loss,” but shared a quote from Kierkegaard his wife had taped to the bathroom mirror: “Faith sees best in the dark.” FULL COVERAGE: ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ “For me, my religion is just an enormous sense of solace,” Biden continued. “I find the people I’m most drawn to are people who have been hurt,” Biden said to Colbert, “and I’m not going to embarrass you, buddy, but you’re one of them.” Follow @MeredithBlake on Twitter.
