In a recent episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," actor Steven Yeun participated in a segment called "Beef or No Beef." The concept of the segment revolves around Stephen Colbert being prompted with a series of hotly debated statements and him revealing whether or not he has any beef with them.
One of the statements presented to Colbert was the classic debate of dogs versus cats. Colbert admitted that he prefers dogs over cats, but only because he is allergic to felines. He jokingly stated that he would love to have a cat or two if he wasn't so allergic.
The next statement that raised some eyebrows was whether a hot dog can be considered a sandwich. Colbert had never even considered this question before, claiming that a sandwich requires two pieces of bread. He equated a hot dog to a closed cradle, making it more like a "bassinet" than a sandwich. Consequently, Colbert declared no beef with this argument.
The discussion then turned to the age-old question of whether water is wet. Colbert found himself deep in contemplation, even suggesting a close-up of his pondering face. Ultimately, he admitted that water is indeed wet, especially if you never touch it.
A "Friends" reference was also thrown into the mix, as Colbert was asked if Ross and Rachel were on a break. While acknowledging that breaks can be emotionally charged, Colbert responded with uncertainty. He professed that emotions are tied to breaks, just as Ross and Rachel had experienced on the iconic TV show.
When it came to telemarketers, Colbert took a sympathetic stance, recognizing that they are just doing their jobs. He shared his own experience of playing a telemarketer and even trying to support their right to unionize. Colbert seemed to understand that people are simply trying to make a living in a tough world.
Colbert was then asked about the practice of kissing with eyes open. He dismissed claims that it was psychotic, stating that while it may not be cool or socially acceptable, sometimes you just want to look at the person you're kissing. He urged his audience to do whatever they want and not worry about societal norms.
Astrology was the next topic on the table, and Colbert cautiously admitted that it was more for fun than a genuine science. He acknowledged that it could help individuals understand the chaos of reality but hesitated to label it as a legitimate scientific field.
Moving on to comedy, Colbert gave a nod to improv, declaring it as the highest form of the art. He emphasized the importance of supporting fellow actors in the creative process, recognizing the challenges that come with "make-em-ups."
When asked if aliens walk among us, Colbert humorously responded with a definitive yes, adding that he himself is one. He playfully embraced the idea that extraterrestrials may be living among humans.
The segment concluded with Colbert addressing the ongoing controversy surrounding the demotion of Pluto from the status of a planet. Colbert firmly stated that Pluto should still be considered a planet, claiming it's unfair to invite Pluto to the planetary club and then revoke its membership.
In a lighthearted twist, the conversation briefly shifted to the color of a dress that went viral a few years ago. Colbert expressed his beef with the white and gold perception, asserting that the dress was, in fact, black and blue.
In the end, Colbert wrapped up the segment by urging viewers to squash any beef they may have had with him. He humorously signed off as both Stephen Colbert and Steven Yeun, making it clear they had dealt with all the "beef or no beef" statements for that night.
The segment showcased Colbert's wit and humor as he tackled various topics with his signature charm. Fans of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" were undoubtedly entertained by the lively banter and the insights Colbert shared during the "Beef or No Beef" segment.
