Trying To Talk To Streep
Several conversation starters were thrown at Streep by the younger actress, but none of them succeeded. She explained, “And if you have anxiety, and you force yourself to talk to someone, being met with silence is like being thrown into a demonic pit. It’s so bad.” She eventually tried to bring up Jon Stewart.
She Finally Responded
Streep is believed to have asked Hathaway, “By any chance did you see the Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night? I think that he is just so brilliant. I think he is saving America.” After that, Hathaway said, she sat “in the silence thinking my life was over.” However, in a turn of events, Streep replied by saying, “No, I don’t think Jon Stewart is going to save America. I think Stephen Colbert is.” Obviously, Colbert loved that.
