Colbert talks presidential legacy, expansion of presidential powers, and aliens in interview with Barack Obama

Published Updated



Late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert interviewed former President Barack Obama on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night. It was a prerecorded interview that took place at the yet-to-open Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, Illinois. 

Colbert’s interview with the former president comes a little over two weeks before the final episode of his show which is scheduled to air on May 21. The two discussed a wide array of topics, including comments that some may interpret as thinly veiled criticisms of President Donald Trump, albeit without mentioning him by name.
