    How charming is America Ferrera? Weirdly enough I've just finished watching Season 1 of Ugly Betty and I actually wondered if/when she would appear on Mr. Colbert's show. Now I know.

    I enjoyed the book "American Like Me: Reflections on Life Between Cultures" (collection of essays from many cross-culture American icons, I believe she's the editor, and also contributed a story of her own) and loved S2 of Gentified - S1 was good too but the storylines and writing in S2 were tighter and cleaner. Really well done. She is a treasure. Also really liked what she and Stephen discussed, basically that politics is not just on election year - in fact, democracy and politics is more than just elections. This interview could've been waaaay longer in my opinion :)

      @@ChineduOpara Nope! The camera showed America Ferrera's entrance from the her head to her KNEES!! That is how the show usually films the entrance of the secondary guest. (Sorry for missing the critical noun in my initial post).
      The primary guest is shown from head-to-toe, completely FULL BODY from when they walk from behind the "curtain" and when they walk up the steps to the desk area to the interview chair. Basically, the whole body is continuously displayed except for when the primary guest physically meets Colbert. (hug, handshake, high-five, etc)
      Adam Driver was the primary guest for this particular show. He is very tall, so watching his entrance is a bad example.
      Go back and watch some of the other entrances for primary guests. You will see what I mean.
