Lady Gaga Takes The Colbert Questionert
>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. COUNTRYMEN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PLEASE. A FEW MONTHS AGO, I SAT DOWN
WITH THE ONE AND ONLY LADY GAGA FOR AN INTERVIEW AT NEW
YORK’S “THE BITTER END.” WELL, JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER
THAT INTERVIEW AIRED, GAGA RECEIVED A CAREER-HIGH SEVEN
GRAMMY NOMINATIONS! COINCIDENCE? YOU BET. BUT IT TURNS OUT THERE WAS
EVEN MORE TO KNOW ABOUT STEFANI GERMANOTTA. YVONNE? >> Stephen: LADY GAGA, IT’S
WONDERFUL TO TALK TO YOU EVERY TIME I GET A CHANCE. IT’S REALLY ENJOYABLE AND INSPIRING. BUT OBVIOUSLY EVEN THE
LONGEST INTERVIEW CAN’T PENETRATE DIRECTLY INTO THE
SOUL OF SOMEONE. UNLESS YOU PREPARE THE
PROPER QUESTIONS. WE AT “THE LATE SHOW” HAVE
SOMETHING CALLED “THE COLBERT QUESTIONERT”. >> THANK YOU KINDLY. >> Stephen: IT’S AN HONOR. ARE YOU WILLING TO BE FULLY
KNOWN? ONCE THESE QUESTIONS ARE
ASKED OF YOU, YOU WILL BE OPENED AS A BOOK BEFORE THE
WORLD TO BE READ. >> I THINK THAT’S ALREADY
HAPPENED. >> Stephen: OKAY, GOOD. HERE WE GO. LADY GAGA. “THE COLBERT QUESTIONERT”. FIRST QUESTION, WHAT IS THE
BEST SANDWICH? >> THE BEST SANDWICH. OKAY, AND ITALIAN SUB. BUT ALSO. [SPEAKING FRENCH] WHICH IS HAM AND BUTTER AND
CHEESE. ON A BAGUETTE. LOVE THAT TOO. >> Stephen: AND ITALIAN SUB
BUT IN FRENCH. >> YEAH. ONE OF EACH. >> Stephen: WHAT WAS THE
FIRST CONCERT YOU ATTENDED? >> THE FIRST CONCERT I
ATTENDED I THINK WAS JINGLE BALL. >> Stephen: WHO PLAYED, DO
YOU REMEMBER? >> THE GOO GOO DOLLS PLAYED
AND THEY HAD SNOW. >> Stephen: ON STAGE? >> THEY HAD SNOW AND I WAS
LOSING MY MIND. IT WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE
WITH PRODUCTION IN AN ARENA. I WAS CRYING. PROBABLY IN. MY MOTHER WAS LIKE WHAT’S
WRONG WITH YOU CRYING. >> Stephen: WHAT IS THE
SCARIEST ANIMAL? >> I DON’T LIKE REALLY LARGE
BIRDS. >> Stephen: LIKE A STORK? >> LIKE A HAWK. A BIG HAWK. THEY JUST SCARE ME. I DON’T KNOW WHY. >> Stephen: LIKE THEY ARE
GOING TO COME DOWN AND PICK YOU UP AND PULL YOU BACK TO
THEIR NEST. >> SCARY. >> Stephen: APPLES OR
ORANGES? >> I THINK ORANGES. >> Stephen: OKAY. >> YOU JUDGED ME. YOU DID. I FELT YOU GO OH, NEW YORK,
BIG APPLE. >> Stephen: YOU CAN’T PUT
PEANUT BUTTER ON AN ORANGE. >> YOU CAN DIP IN ORANGE AND
CHOCOLATE. >> Stephen: THIS IS TRUE. DARK OR MILK? >> DARK. >> Stephen: YEAH. HAVE YOU EVER ASKED SOMEONE
FOR THEIR AUTOGRAPH? >> I DON’T THINK SO. IF I DID — OKAY, YES, I DO. I ASK FANS TO AUTOGRAPH
THEIR ART THAT THEY GIVE ME. THEY GIVE ME A PIECE OF ART. >> Stephen: THAT’S NICE. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS
WHEN WE DIE? >> I’M NOT SURE. I THINK WE ALL JUST VANISH
INTO EACH OTHER. I SAY THAT ON STAGE EVERY
NIGHT, BUT I THINK IT’S JUST WHAT I BELIEVE. >> Stephen: VANISH INTO EACH
OTHER. THAT’S INTERESTING. >> LIKE, I DEFINITELY
BELIEVE THAT, LIKE, THE SOUL, LIKE, KIND OF IS
FOREVER HERE. IN SOME WAY. LIKE, THAT YOU’RE — THAT
YOU GO FROM BEING IN ONE PLACE TO BEING EVERYWHERE. >> Stephen: CAN YOU SENSE
THOSE SOULS? >> LIKE, RIGHT NOW? >> Stephen: YEAH. >> YEAH, I THINK SO. I THINK SOMETIMES WHEN
PEOPLE PASS AWAY, I GO, LIKE, “THEY’RE EVERYWHERE
NOW.” >> Stephen: THEY SHOW UP. >> YEAH. I’M LIKE, “NOW THEY’RE
EVERYWHERE.” >> Stephen: THEY WINK AT YOU
SOMETIMES. >> RIGHT. >> Stephen: FAVORITE ACTION
MOVIE? >> “IN THE LINE OF FIRE”. >> Stephen: QUALITY CLINT. >> WHAT A MOVIE. >> Stephen: WINDOW OR I’LL? >> WINDOW. >> Stephen: FOR THE VIEW. OR FOR THE PRIVACY. >> FOR THE FEELING OF
SAFETY. >> Stephen: BETWEEN SOMEONE
AND TO THE WALL. THERE YOU GO. FAVORITE SMELL? >> AND SO I CAN JAM MY FEET
INTO THE SEAT IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I GET UNCOMFORTABLE,
YOU KNOW. >> Stephen: A PERSON IN
FRONT OF YOU IS FINE WITH THAT. >> NO, NEVER. A LOT FOR TOURS YEARS AGO I
WOULD BRING A PILLOW AND IT WOULD BE A WHOLE SITUATION. I WOULD HAVE THE PILLOW AND
THE FEET. >> Stephen: I MASK AND ALL
THAT? >> NO. THAT WOULD BE TOO CHIC FOR
ME. >> Stephen: FAVORITE SMELL? >> FAVORITE SMELL. MICHAEL’S NECK. >> Stephen: DO YOU WEAR
KELOWNA, MICHAEL? >> NO. >> Stephen: THAT’S JUST YOUR
NATURAL MASK. >> ACTUALLY DON’T LIKE
KELOWNA. THAT’S MY LEAST FAVORITE. >> Stephen: LEAST FAVORITE
SMELL. ALONE. GUYS WHO ARE SOAKED WITH —
YEA GUYS WHO ARE SOAKED WITH — YE YEAH. >> JUST STRONG KELOWNA. >> Stephen: GOT IT. >> NOT FOR ME. >> Stephen: EARLIEST MEMORY? >> MY EARLIEST MEMORY IN
LIFE. >> Stephen: OR BEFORE LIFE. [LAUGHS] EARLIEST MEMORY IN
LIFE, IF YOU COULD REMEMBER SOMETHING EARLIER THAT WOULD
BE FASCINATING. >> I THINK MY EARLIEST
MEMORY IS MY MOM AND DAD GIVING ME A TOY — LIKE, A
PLASTIC KITCHEN. >> Stephen: LIKE A
FISHER-PRICE. >> AND I REMEMBER BEING
REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE I COULD PLAY PLAYHOUSE. >> Stephen: CATS OR DOGS? >> DOGS. >> Stephen: YOU ONLY GET ONE
SONG TO LISTEN TO FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. WHAT IS IT? THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE
TO LISTEN TO IT CONTINUALLY BUT IN THIS SCENARIO, WHEN
YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC, THIS IS THE SONG YOU GET TO HEAR. >> I THINK IT WOULD BE JOHN
LENNON “IMAGINE”. I GREW UP REALLY CLOSE TO
THE JOHN LENNON MEMORIAL. THAT HAS A VERY SPECIAL
SIGNIFICANCE FOR ME. >> Stephen: WHAT NUMBER ON
MY THINKING OF? >> I DON’T KNOW. I HAVE NO IDEA. 42. >> Stephen: NO. GOOD ANSWER THOUGH. DESCRIBED THE REST OF YOUR
LIFE IN FIVE WORDS. >> IT’S GOING TO BE GREAT,
HOPEFULLY. >> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS,
YOU ARE KNOWN. >> Stephen: THANKS AGAIN FOR
LADY GAGA. GOOD LUCK AT THE GRAMMYS. WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
GOVERNOR A LOT OF NEW JERSEY, MIKE SHERRILL.
