b'Before Stephen Colbert knew what he wanted to do with his life, all he wanted was to be Hamlet. Not to play Hamlet, but to be Hamlet. That\\u2019s how he felt as an outsider teen dealing with family tragedy and deep, unaddressed grief. Stephen tells Marc how comedy gave him a refuge from sadness, how his anxiety dissipated when doing improv and sketch comedy, and how a nervous breakdown made him realign his life. They also talk about The Colbert Report, the White House Correspondents\\u2019 Dinner, and doing The Late Show in the age of Trump.\\xa0This episode is sponsored by the new Mailchimp podcast The Jump, Hair Club, and Allbirds.
