Stephen Colbert opens up about his faith with Dua Lipa on ‘Late Show’

Stephen Colbert was interviewing pop star Dua Lipa on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” Thursday when the conversation turned to religious faith.

As the two chatted about the pop star’s recently launched online newsletter Service95 and its upcoming podcast, “At Your Service,” Colbert asked her if she would like to interview him. After a moment of reflection, Lipa asked Colbert about the relationship between his faith and his work as a comedian.

“I think something that your viewers really connect with in your comedy and your hosting skills, especially in the past few years, is how open and honest and authentic you are about the role your faith plays in your life,” Lipa told Colbert. “(Do) your faith and your comedy ever overlap, and does one ever win out?”

Stephen mentioned that he is a Christian and a Roman Catholic, and that when he gets to heaven, he hopes that Jesus has a sense of humor. He spoke openly about sacrifice and death—with death, ultimately, being undefeated.

The question is at the 4:06 mark.
