Colbert: You’re out there saving the world, and yet, you don’t have the cool factor. No offense, not the same cool factor like turtle-neck cool factor…does it ever bug you that you’e out there saving the world, and yet he’s, he’s, the memories of a cool guy? Did you ever want to be the cool guy?
Gates: Ah, he was always cooler than me.
Colbert: Yeah?
Gates: Yeah.
While we’re all admitting deep, dark truths, I’m willing to tell the world that I am indeed shorter than Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
