Slate just launched a new podcast called Working that explores the typical workdays of various celebrities, and the very first episode features Colbert Report host and Late Show successor Stephen Colbert. Colbert offers a detailed run-through of his average day (and night) on his Comedy Central show, and you’ll learn a lot about his views on scripts that don’t work out (he calls them “bad girlfriends”) and how he greets all of his guests: “I always say the same thing: ‘I do the show in character. He’s an idiot, he’s willfully ignorant of what you know and care about. Please honestly disabuse me of my ignorance and we’ll have a great time. Thanks for coming.’”
