Stephen Colbert honored the late Diane Keaton on The Late Show Monday night by re-airing her delightfully unhinged 2012 Colbert Report appearance—one he called “one of my favorite interviews I ever had the privilege of doing.”

12 years sober today. Thanks to all the people who’ve inspired me along the way. I think some of you know who you are. 😉

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.

Rest In Peace, Diane Keaton. Obviously as authentic and unique as she was brilliantly talented. This one really hurts.

John Candy was one of the most beloved comedic actors of his time, with starring roles in Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Uncle Buck. His life and work are celebrated in a new Amazon Prime documentary by Colin Hanks, John Candy: I Like Me. n.pr/3KNzxWq

Loved “John Candy: I Like Me” and learned a lot from it I didn’t know before about one of my comedy heroes. youtu.be/PrcQRsrBcCk?si… via @YouTube

My neighbor Judy hits it out of the park again with her Halloween yard skeletons, this year the busted “Coldplay Couple”.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our Golden girl, Holly. Yes, we’re insane enough to dress her up for it.

Holly is very happy that the Cubs advanced but she’s very nervous about facing the Brewers.

More and more these days, I think about this line from “Bull Durham”: “The world is made for people who aren’t cursed with self-awareness.”

“There is still so much in the world worth fighting for. So much that is beautiful, so many wonderful people working to reverse the harm, to help alleviate the suffering. And so many young people dedicated to making this a better world.” ​ – JANE GOODALL

Albert Brooks’ hilarious Ventriloquist Bit on TV in the ‘70s. Pure genius and so far ahead of its time. #ThrowbackThursday youtu.be/t_me-D6SJK0?si… via @YouTube

Rest In Peace, Jane Goodall, one of Earth’s best humans. youtu.be/IUeoqaZvkcU?si… via @YouTube

Kaleb Horton RIP.

HE TOLD YOU HE WAS A SNAKE WHEN YOU LET HIM IN. Donald Trump’s capture of the Justice Department is nearly complete and it didn't begin -- and won't end -- with James Comey. I take a deep dive and speak to folks who personally know the terrain we're treading. www.huffpost.com/entry/its-ti...

Rest In Peace, Kaleb Horton. A brilliant writer and a great guy. mattdpearce.substack.com/p/the-last-mag…
