What Would Colbert Say to the Pope?

By Rod Anderson, CP Cartoonist Thursday, March 05, 2015

Comedian Stephen Colbert, who's set to take over as host of the "Late Show" in September, has shared in an interview the question he would ask of Pope Francis, along with his favorite saint, hymn and Bible verse.

Fr. James Martin, editor-at-large at America magazine, interviewed Colbert in a video posted on Monday and asked him a series of questions about his Roman Catholic faith.

When asked about a question he would direct at Pope Francis if he could, Colbert said: "What do you do to get that smile on your face in the morning?"

He added: "The Pope seems so happy. I was wondering, what is your regimen in the morning?"
