Stephen Colbert broke the late night mold on Tuesday night, sharing with his audience that his CBS bosses asked him not to share Kristen Stewart’s recent Rolling Stone cover on the air.
. They thought that would be not a good idea for us to show this, and I don’t know understand why. Because there’s the cover, right there,” he said, turning it around to face the audience.
“I want to say that you look better in a jockstrap than I ever did,” Colbert added, before asking the actor to comment on the criticism the image received.
Stewart pointed toward a societal double standard: “Well, it’s a little ironic because I feel like I’ve seen a lot of male pubic hair on the cover of things. I’ve seen a lot of hands in pants and unbuttoned…I think there’s a certain overt acknowledgment of a female sexuality that has its own volition in a way that is annoying for people who are sexist and homophobic.”
“I’ve certainly seen more revealing covers on Rolling Stone or Sports Illustrated for that matter,” Colbert said, to which Stewart said, “It’s not remotely explicit.”
Colbert added, “I think it also violates public expectations of female sexuality as opposed to how you’re presenting it here.”
Kristen Stewart agreed, “Yes, because female sexuality isn’t supposed to actually want anything but to be had. And that feels like it’s protruding in a way that might be annoying. But fuck you.”
“Now, there’s a lot of buzz around this Rolling Stone cover of yours. Before I show this cover, I just want you to know and the audience to know that I think it’s a perfectly lovely cover. We were asked by CBS not to show it,” Colbert said while interviewing Stewart. “They thought that would be not a good idea to show this, and I don’t understand why.”
After showing the cover, Colbert quipped that Stewart looked “better in a jockstrap than I ever did.”
