Oh, now youre doing it right, Craig said suspiciously, prompting Colbert to reply, Why?
Am I saying Creig?
Craig was quick to point out the small, yet important distinction, adding, I dont say Col-bett!
He then proceeded to repeat the correct pronunciation several more times to Colbert until he got it.
Ooh, I hear the difference, that is subtle, the host conceded.
That is a subtle difference and I apologize.
Craig thanked him for his apology.
I dont want you, Daniel Cray-ig, mad at me, Colbert continued.
F— that guy.
c’mon accept my apology.
Hold on a second.
