Stephen Colbert Intervews Eminem For Michigan Local Access Television

Colbert first drills Em on his Michigan music knowledge, seeing how many Bob Seger songs he knows, leaving the rapper in the dust.

He then dives into what type of rapper Eminem is, pegging him between more sing-songy like Bone Thugs N' Harmony or street like Will Smith.

At one point it gets comically awkward when the two go back and forth about whether or not Eminem can "pay the rent" with his career and his relevance as a rapper. Remember: Em is an actor himself, starring in 8 Mile, so doing this type of bit isn't hard for him.

Colbert calls him out for getting flustered and Em replies, "I think I just look angry."

The full interview, which starts at around the 22-minute mark (but the whole thing is great), is priceless. The main topic of conversation is the movie Mathers is involved: Southpaw.

We will miss the old Colbert. This Fall will usher in a new era for him on the Late Show, taking over for David Letterman. Let's hope it's at least a fraction as funny as this.
