In a transfer commenters described as having “Craig Ferguson vibes,” Stephen Colbert and Joaquin Phoenix spent the final moments of their Late Present interview in awkward silence.
The Eddington star joined the host for a chat on Tuesday night time, and requested complete silence as a bit. In fact, the extra the silence goes on, the extra the viewers laughs, the tougher it turns into for Colbert to not break.
When Phoenix breaks the silence round 35 seconds in, Colbert reminds him that Robert De Niro did it higher.
