It was also revealed by Colbert that O'Brien has been an optimistic voice for him over the past year. He even urged his former host "to quit for years" and told him the truth of "there’s a lot of fun to be had when this is over, so don’t feel like you need to stay." Colbert admits it somewhat hurt him at the time, but he knew "he was just being kind."
