Stephen Colbert Stunned After Daniel Craig Calls Him Out For Pronouncing His Name Wrong

The former James Bond actor had a "bone to pick" with the late night host after listening to him repeatedly say his last name wrong.

Daniel Craig humorously confronted Stephen Colbert during his Monday appearance on The Late Show, pointing out that the host had been mispronouncing his name for years.

“I have a bone to pick with you,” Craig said. “Six shows—say my name.” Colbert gave it a shot, correctly pronouncing "Craig" to rhyme with "vague." Craig jokingly acknowledged the improvement: “Oh, now you’re doing it right.”


Colbert seemed briefly flustered, noting the subtlety of the pronunciation difference, but Craig clarified, calling it a diphthong. “I don’t say ‘Col-bett!’” he quipped. Despite the playful critique, Colbert offered a sincere apology.

“I don’t want you, Daniel Cray-ig, mad at me. Daniel Creg? Forget that guy. Daniel Cray-ig? I’m so sorry.”



People felt the tension of the interview.

It's not all Americans; it's mostly Southerners, which Colbert is.

Craig, who has appeared on the show multiple times since 2015, is currently promoting Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, an adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ novel, which explores an American expat’s infatuation with another man in 1950s Mexico City.

The film is just now entering nationwide, albeit limited, release.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
