Stephen Colbert’s Hilarious 'Interview' with Ryan Lochte

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was on a hiatus for the past two weeks during the Olympics, so Stephen hadn’t addressed the Ryan Lochte scandal until Monday night’s show. Colbert is known for his interview skills, but since Lochte had already done an interview with Matt Lauer, the Late Show host decided to just put himself in that one. So with Colbert edited in over Lauer, he was able to put together a pretty funny interview. Stephen started off by asking what it’s been like for the Olympic swimmer since this scandal broke. Ryan’s answer was, “Well, since everything happened, I’ve kind of been laying low,” to which Stephen replied, “If you want to lay low, television is the best place to do that.” Although, the running joke through the carefully edited interview was Lochte answering many of Colbert’s questions by saying he was “intoxicated.” So when Stephen asked Ryan to “Describe for the audience the Ryan Lochte we can expect to see at the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020,” it was no surprise Ryan’s response was, “Intoxicated.”
