Stephen Colbert has paid tribute to late Hollywood icon Diane Keaton, sharing a chaotic and banter-fuelled 2012 interview from The Colbert Report.
"This weekend, America lost one of our most talented, original and effortlessly funny actors, Diane Keaton," Colbert said on The Late Show on Monday night. The Oscar-winning actor died on Saturday aged 79.
"In 2012, my Colbert Report alter ego at the old show had the honour of attempting to interview this wonderful woman about her memoir that she apparently had no interest in talking about. It was so charmingly chaotic and one of my favourite interviews I have ever had the privilege of doing, and because, for reasons that are still unclear to me, the corporation has taken down all of my old show in honour of Miss Keaton, I thought I would share with you tonight here."
As Colbert said, the interview was supposed to be focused on Keaton's autobiography, Then Again, but careens off the rails. The banter is real, the quips are shady, and it's a gem of an interview.
