Ever wonder how Stephen Colbert preps guests before they have to endure one of the more surreal interviews of their lives? Check out this behind-the-scenes video from John Kerry’s appearance on The Colbert Report. Colbert visits the dressing room to say hi and prep the senator for their chat. Colbert’s first warning: “You know when I’m in character that I’m an idiot.” Cutting right to the chase, he is. This video isn’t funny, which is why it’s kinda interesting. You get a look at what Stephen Colbert is like when he’s not blustering about as Stephen Colbert.
