"During the red carpet for the GQ Man of the Year party ( note: this is not a party for the Lorde song), How Long Gone podcast hosts Jason Stewart and Chris Black asked Colbert the questions we were dying to know the answers to, like how much money he has in his 401k after retiring ("By retiring, you mean firing") and if he was going to grow a beard like David Letterman ("I am going to stop waxing from the neck down.")."
"However, even if Colbert is looking for his next gig, he won't be doing a podcast anytime soon, even if the job would let him smoke weed freely. "I'm not going to do a podcast," he said proudly in the interview. "You cannot make me do a podcast. There's nothing in the Constitution that says when you lose your TV show, you have to get a podcast. I don't have a Substack, I don't have a podcast." Tell that to the Strike Force Five, Colbert!"
During the GQ Man of the Year red carpet, hosts questioned Stephen Colbert about his 401k, retirement, and whether he would grow a beard. Colbert quipped "By retiring, you mean firing" about his 401k and joked "I am going to stop waxing from the neck down" about beard growth. Hosts asked what kind of joint Colbert was smoking on a cover shoot; Colbert refused to admit it and said "You can't prove that was a joint. Get a warrant." He claimed limited knowledge of indica versus sativa from eighth-grade health class. Colbert also insisted he will not do a podcast, stating there is "nothing in the Constitution" that requires getting a podcast after losing a TV show and noting he has no Substack or podcast. The remarks combined humor, evasive quips about personal habits, and a clear refusal to pursue certain post-TV projects.
