Stephen Colbert Stunned After Daniel Craig Calls Him Out For Pronouncing His Name Wrong

The former James Bond actor had a "bone to pick" with the late night host after listening to him repeatedly say his last name wrong.

Daniel Craig humorously confronted Stephen Colbert during his Monday appearance on The Late Show, pointing out that the host had been mispronouncing his name for years.

“I have a bone to pick with you,” Craig said. “Six shows—say my name.” Colbert gave it a shot, correctly pronouncing "Craig" to rhyme with "vague." Craig jokingly acknowledged the improvement: “Oh, now you’re doing it right.”


Colbert seemed briefly flustered, noting the subtlety of the pronunciation difference, but Craig clarified, calling it a diphthong. “I don’t say ‘Col-bett!’” he quipped. Despite the playful critique, Colbert offered a sincere apology.

“I don’t want you, Daniel Cray-ig, mad at me. Daniel Creg? Forget that guy. Daniel Cray-ig? I’m so sorry.”



People felt the tension of the interview.

It's not all Americans; it's mostly Southerners, which Colbert is.

Craig, who has appeared on the show multiple times since 2015, is currently promoting Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, an adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ novel, which explores an American expat’s infatuation with another man in 1950s Mexico City.

The film is just now entering nationwide, albeit limited, release.
