Stephen Colbert's "Big Questions With Even Bigger Stars" bit is really coming into its own. On Thursday's Late Show, Colbert laid down on a blanket on fake grass to ponder the deep questions with Bryan Cranston. They traded queries like "Do you think good and evil really exist?" and "Do you think you'll get into heaven?" and "What's the most tragic thing that could ever happen?" But the answers veered more toward one-liners — albeit good ones, in most cases. "Do you believe in parallel universes?" Colbert asked, for example. "No," Cranston said. "And somewhere I just said yes." What if God is a woman? Cranston asked. "Well, if God's a woman, then she definitely didn't write the Bible," Colbert responded. For more deep thoughts, watch below.
