      I really enjoyed hearing Neeson's personal experiences from that time. FANTASTIC interview. It ranged from light and playful to deep and soulful. Colbert is one of the best interviewers out there. Howard Stern gives him a run for his money.

      @@adriantrusca1245 "Aged well" *is* a compliment, when it's intended to be and said in the context of a compliment. Your phrase is only one of numerous arguable meanings of the phrase "aged well"- not *the* meaning. Moreover, some people actually become better looking as they age (with zero surgeries or cosmetic "interventions"). Not everyone peaks at the same age. Some peak at 19 - 22 (or even younger), some at 26, some at 38, some at 47, 53 etc. And some simply do not look to have aged the same number of years as many others tend to look by any certain age. Your quoted so called "meaning/definition" is only *your own emphasis* on a negative and morbid take on how the words could be construed to mean something (and certain something that is less recognized as an emphasis, in common use).

      I wish guys like Liam could transport a moving song into a movie, and I know of just the one that's already been well done that was written by Ron Kavana, and interpreted even more beautifully by Scotsman, Dickie Gaughan. It's "Reconciliation".
      It seems like a song one spouse sings to another after being tired of fighting, but it translates ultimately to the partition of Ireland by politics...(really old and embittered politics).
      I know he's done an action movie that was about one Republican seeking revenge upon an Ulster Nationalist, so perhaps he's had enough. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Minutes_of_Heaven
      So, I don't know.
      But the concept of two embittered enemies quitting hate, or revenge makes a lot of us hopeful in our humanity, and maybe Christianity well-employed for a change.
      We could use that in America, itself. I'm not one to preach. The Irish version seems more potent, and seems to have more, lets say "inescapable charm ". I kind of envision Tommy Tiernan - the comedian - being involved because of his fine acting in "Derry Girls".

    The real audition for filling Leslie Neilsen's role was Neeson's gutbustingly funny appearance in the Gervais/Merchant show "Life's Too Short", where he tells them, as agents, that he wants to get into comedy, sketch comedy, improv, and the like. It's posted around, and will have you chuckling to yourself constantly. It's his ability to keep a straight face *in spite of* what his lines are that makes him such a potentially great comic actor. The same was true of Leslie Neilsen.

      @@TheAureliac There is a segment in one of the Bridget & Eamon episodes that is a line-by-line duplicate of the "Hitler rant" parodies one sees on RUclips, except in this instance Bridget (who is NEVER without a cigarette in her hand) is reacting to her husband (Eamon) and neighbours being unable to find any more smokes in the house. It is a brilliant recreation. Not likely to be funny to anyone unfamiliar with the Hitler rant videos, but sure to bring a big smile to the face of anyone who is familiar with them.

      Sure, is she were the type of personality as to concern herself over who guests are, and also the type to then voice opinions and concerns to her husband, that would be their prerogative within the personal dynamics of their private relationship and marriage. That isn't going to bleed into the production of the show. It's not as if the late night machine is going to ever have any interest or motive to book anyone that would be objectionable enough to be found offensive or threatening by a healthy adult spouse in a strong long-standing happy marriage.

Grief often goes so deep, you don't ever want to even say the person's name out loud.

    The closed-captioning really doesn't like Irish pronunciation huh, instead of Ballymena it read "Melamine".

      I only speak with a slight accent (American born but was with Irish family and time in Belfast with them) - and became apparent pretty quick as a kid other American kids couldn't always understand me with the accent and pronunciations. So captions unable to properly understand his pronunciations with his accent - that pretty much checks out.

      Maybe too sad… Stephen is a good listener, but to get back from that would be difficult… I hear he talks to her all the time… (in prayer). 🥺

      He's still pretty wrecked by it so it's possible he doesn't want to talk about it in a tv interview. You can see when he's telling the story about her that it catches him a bit at the end. Memories can be like gut punches.

    I grew up in Northern Ireland near Ballymena. In 1969 I was 13. It was never as bad as the media made it out to be and the country and the troubles made me what I am today. It would've made Liam Neeson too. I felt he was overplaying it a bit when he talks about " post trauma ". Look at society today with mental health problems and psych medications, etc We had to toughen up and we're the better for it.

      Yes but he could have played other sports such as soccer ,gaelic football ,and hurling and even rugby though that would have been seen as a protestant game then and still is in northern ireland but not in the republic of ireland.

    What a thrill, watching Liam turn on the angry, don't you mess with me, persona. Just for a few seconds. Dear Liam. I so admire you. Now PLEASE get your teeth whitened. You don't have to get them snow white ---- just have the dentist lighten them up a bit. Having discolored teeth really makes one look older.
