>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY! WELCOME BACK. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BEST THINGS
ABOUT DOING THIS SHOW IS GETTING TO
TALK TO ALL SORTS OF FASCINATING PEOPLE. BUT IT'S HARD TO FULLY EXPLORE A
GUEST'S PSYCHE IN JUST TEN MINUTES OVER ZOOM. WHICH IS WHY WE HERE AT THE LATE
SHOW CREATED "THE COLBERT QUESTIONERT." IT'S A SERIES OF 15 QUESTIONS
SCIENTIFICALLY CALIBRATED TO REVEAL A PERSON'S TRUEST SELF:
EVERYTHING FROM YOUR PRIMAL FEARS TO YOUR FAVORITE SANDWICH
TO THE SANDWICH YOU'RE MOST AFRAID OF. AND I RECENTLY HAD THE PLEASURE
OF ADMINISTERING THE QUESTIONERT TO HOLLYWOOD LEGEND BILLY
CRYSTAL. FORGET "WHEN HARRY MET SALLY"--
THIS IS "WHEN HARRY MET BILLY." ♪♪♪
BILLY CRYSTAL, LOVELY TO HAVE YOU HERE. ALWAYS ENJOY. AS I'VE ALWAYS SAID, A VACATION
TO TALK TO YOU. ONE TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS WITH
THESE JOBS IS YOU GET TO MEET A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT IT'S HARD TO
PLUNGE THE DEPTHS AND REVEAL THE SOUL OF THE PEOPLE YOU'RE
TALKING TO BUT I HAVE COME UP WITH A FOOLPROOF QUESTION QUESTI
ON FUNK AND WAG NAIL'S POMP. SINCE NOON TODAY, I'LL ASK YOU
THESE 15 QUESTIONS. BILLY CRYSTAL, WHAT IS THE BEST
SANDWICH? >> PRESIDENT BUSH, JELLY, WHITE

AFRICAN-AMERICAN TO PLAY IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE, WHEN JACKIE
ROBINSON BROKE THE BARRIER WITH THE DODGERS, OF COURSE, LARRY
DOBIE WAS BASICALLY BUZZ ALDRIN, WAS THE SECOND, AND HE PLAYED
WITH THE CLEVELAND INDIANS. I HAPPENED TO SIT NEXT TO HIM. HE'S A VERY DISTINGUISHED MAN. I ASKED HIM TO SIGN A BALL AND
HE DID. VERY LOVELY. >> Stephen: HANK AARON, YOU
