Ian McKellen (Extended) | File It Away
About this episode
President Trump made misogynistic comments to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Speaker Mike Johnson claims to know more about The Bible than the Pope, and journalists are outraged at Jeff Bezos over mass layoffs in the newsroom at The Washington Post. Stage and screen legend Ian McKellen sits down for an extended conversation with Stephen Colbert about his long career as a performer, reprising his roles as Gandalf and Magneto in upcoming films, the unique joys of live theater, and the Shakespeare role he originated in the 1960s which resonates just as loudly today.
