Hey everybody, welcome back to The Late Show.

Modal verbs - A2

I don't have to tell any of you folks who that is, that's Joaquin Phoenix right there.

He is the star of the new film, Eddington, which is in theaters now, climbing the charts.

And Joaquin, I really enjoyed our interview, I had a really good time, and I'm so glad you're here, really honored you stopped by because now you don't do this a lot.

But after the interview, I feel like we're kind of close.

You know, hooking up the jumper cables, as I like to say, watching the energy flow back and forth.

But even with like, really kind of like, I mean, people's reaction to that interview was so positive.

And I, even after that level of quality of an interview, I feel like I didn't get to know you the way I really wanted to.

And there's this thing here we do at the Colbert Report, oh my God.

I want you to know, I want you to know, hold on, I want you to know, wait, I gotta, I gotta, I mean, I want you to know, this September I'll be doing ten years of this show, I have never done that before.

That's the first time in ten years, back me up, that's the first time in ten years.

You pulled something, you pulled something out of me, sir.

But that's what I wanna do with my questions, you see, because we here at The Late Show have come up, we've come up with this system by which we can get to know people very quickly, very thoroughly.

I mean, really, the person's fully known, and if you don't want to do it, that's fine, I understand it can be a scary prospect, because by the end of this, no secrets.

I'm just saying, a lot of great people have done it.

Are you ready to face the Colbert Questionnaire?

Dare I ask, Joaquin Phoenix, what is the best sandwich?

His first question says, what's the best sandwich, right?

Okay, but if you had to pick one, like, this is the sandwich, you know, I'm reaching for a sandwich.

I guess I would do, like, tahini, lettuce, tomato with red onion and sourdough bread.

You don't even know what that is, though.

You had that on, yes I do, you had that on speed dial.

I don't know about a tomato and tahini sandwich.

What was your first concert you attended?

The first concert I attended was probably, I think, my mom wouldn't want me to say this, but I think my parents took me to a Steel Pulse concert that's a regular.

There was a lot of, you know, in the air.

Yeah, you don't have to, you don't have to do the.

For years, it was like, kids, shit, don't say this is happening.  What is the scariest animal?

No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, what do you mean not really?

Have you been faced with an animal that could kill you ever?

I don't think so, but what are the conditions?

But I can't tell you, because that's like saying, what are the conditions of love?

Like you're either scared or you're not scared.

Yes.  Some people have, like, spiders unnerve me.

I grew up in South Carolina, I've got pretty big spiders, and as a kid, ooh.

What percentage of our viewership is snakes?

There might be.  Here's, here's an easy one.

Okay, so then, but, fine, but then that, so I'm just wondering, because it implies that you have both in stock.
