Stephen Colbert enjoys the kind of career that many other actors and comedians can only dream of, but, it turns out, he’s also been living with regret over a lost role he auditioned for a long time ago.
He, in short, is still plagued by not being able to play a guy with horrible diarrhea from an old Sex And The City episode.
Colbert opened up about his pain during an interview with Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis ahead of the Sex And The City revival, And Just Like That…. Nixon brings up the character who played her diarrhea-stricken date during that episode about being able to tell when someone’s making up excuses not to go home with a date because they’re “just not into you,” and she mentions that Colbert was almost given the role.
