Kermit the Frog ponders life's big questions with Stephen Colbert

One of Stephen Colbert's recurring bits on The Late Show is "Big Questions With Even Bigger Stars," a segment where Colbert and a guest lie on a blanket under fake stars and ponder life's big mysteries (or at least those with punch lines). On Monday's show, that guest was Kermit the Frog, and the big questions were about as silly as you'd expect.

"Hey Kermit, do you think money can buy happiness?" Colbert asked at one point. "Oh, I sure hope not —you're talking to a guy that doesn't have any pockets," Kermit replied. Kermit then asked Colbert that old Bob Dylan line, "How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?" Colbert replied with a non sequitur. When asked his biggest regret, Kermit hit it out of the ballpark: "Signing up for high school biology class." Watch these and other thoughts in the video below. Peter Weber
