Stephen Colbert may be one of late night television’s sharpest interviewers, but the comedian recently admitted that even he has struggled to stay composed around certain celebrity guests. 

During a candid conversation with fellow hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver, the longtime TV personality shared surprising confessions about several famous women who have completely thrown him off balance over the years. 

From supermodel crushes to awkward on-air attraction, Colbert’s stories quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the special.

Stephen Colbert Reveals Supermodel Once Had A Crush On Him

Stephen Colbert stunned his fellow late-night hosts after revealing that supermodel Paulina Porizkova once openly admitted she was attracted to him.

The confession came during “Strike Force Five Returns To Celebrate Stephen Colbert,” where the TV host recalled one of the biggest ego boosts of his career.

When Colbert dropped Porizkova’s name, the room immediately erupted in disbelief. “Oh my God!” the other hosts reacted after hearing the revelation involving the iconic model, who famously appeared on the covers of Vogue and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

Colbert admitted the moment stayed with him for years. “That was a flex that I’ve never ever been able to match,” he confessed.

The story dates back to a 2000 appearance Porizkova made on “Good Morning America” after Colbert mentioned her on his own show. During the interview, the model did not hold back while discussing her feelings about the comedian.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m already very happily married, and so is he apparently, he is just my kind of guy,” she said, adding, “He’s so hot.”

At the time, Porizkova was married to Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, while Colbert had already been married to his wife, Evelyn McGee Colbert, for several years.

While reflecting on memorable interviews, Stephen Colbert also admitted there was one actress who completely distracted him during an appearance on his show.

The host revealed that Michelle Williams unexpectedly left him unable to focus during their first interview in 2019.

“I’ll tell you who I did not expect to be wildly attracted to. Like, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I did not know what to do with my eyeballs when Michelle Williams was on for the first time,” Colbert admitted.

According to the 62-year-old, the moment Williams sat down across from him, panic immediately set in.

“She sat down across from me and I went, ‘F-ck, what is wrong with my head?’ I’d better not look directly at her for this entire interview,” Colbert shared. 

The late-night host later praised the actress for her overall presence, highlighting both her energy and appearance. Colbert described Williams as having an incredible “vibe” and “face,” while also calling her “so beautiful.”

Williams was apparently not the only celebrity capable of rattling Colbert during interviews. 

The comedian also confessed he once had what he jokingly described as “a Rachel Weisz problem.”

According to the icon, the Oscar-winning actress had such an effect on him that he actively avoided her whenever she visited the studio.

“I used to have a Rachel Weisz problem,” he admitted. Colbert explained that he would sometimes “leave the building” during her visits because he worried he might embarrass himself. 

He said he feared he would say something “stupid.”

Stephen Colbert’s personal revelations arrived during an especially turbulent chapter in his professional life.

Last July, the producer shocked viewers when he announced that Paramount/CBS would not renew his contract after more than a decade hosting his late-night program.

The decision also marked the end of a franchise that had existed on television for 44 years. At the time, the network insisted the cancellation was “purely a financial decision.”

However, the timing immediately sparked speculation because the announcement came shortly after Colbert criticized Paramount/CBS over its legal settlement involving President Donald Trump.

During his show, Colbert called the company’s reported $16 million settlement “a big fat bribe.” 

The controversy grew even larger because Paramount was simultaneously pursuing a massive merger with Skydance, a deal requiring approval from the Federal Communications Commission.

Recently, Bruce Springsteen delivered a blistering defense of Colbert during an appearance on the penultimate episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” directly accusing Trump and powerful media executives of punishing the late-night host for criticizing the president. 

As The Blast reported, Springsteen told Colbert, “I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can’t take a joke.” 

He then escalated his criticism by targeting Larry and David Ellison, saying they “feel they need to kiss his *ss to get what they want.” 

Springsteen continued, “Stephen, these are small-minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about.”  

The rock legend later performed his politically charged song “Streets of Minneapolis,” which criticizes ICE raids, government overreach, and comments made by officials, including Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem. 

During the performance, messages such as “RESISTANCE,” “TRUTH,” and “HOPE” were projected behind him as he used the moment to portray Colbert as a victim of political retaliation and censorship.
