Stephen Colbert addresses faith and comedy in recent chat with Dua Lipa

Although Colbert has been criticized by Catholics for comments about Planned Parenthood, as well as former president Donald Trump, there's no disputing that he has no qualms about sharing his beliefs with his viewers, and was delighted with Lipa's question.

He said he hopes that when he gets to heaven "Jesus has a sense of humor," but then he continued on a more serious note to explain his position in relation to fear, sadness, death, and the movie Belfast. As he pointed out it's "funny, sad, and funny about being sad" in a very Catholic way. And he said that laughter helps combat fear.

It's definitely worth watching his entire answer, four minutes into the video below.

Whatever your feelings are about Colbert, it's always refreshing to see someone in a prominent position in the world of TV readily speak about their own faith.
