I wish Stephen Colbert’s faux presidential campaign was legit. I’d sure as shit vote for him. Imagine how awesome the State of the Union addresses would be. I get downright giddy just thinking about the possibilities of a Colbert led America. Alas, he seems resigned to hosting the funniest half-hour on television instead, which is a super fantastic consolation prize because we get to be treated to his hilarious and often creepy sitdowns with famous people, like famed children’s author Maurice Sendak.

The seven-plus minute interview is packed full of win. Watch as Stephen discovers Sendak’s sexuality, pitches a Where the Wild Things Are sequel starring Vin Diesel and reveals his little bag of penises. It will all make sense in the end.
