Stephen Colbert lampoons Ryan Lochte's cringeworthy NBC interview

Among the many things missing from the Matt Lauer/Ryan Lochte "tell-all" interview — aside from the swimmer's self-awareness? Follow-up questions.

Thankfully, Stephen Colbert gave the public the #Lochtegate interview we deserved Monday night on The Late Show, where he edited himself into the clip in the place of Matt Lauer, countering Lochte's often-clueless answers with equally absurd answers.

"After everything that's happened, I've kinda been laying low," Lochte says.

If you want to lay low, television is the best place to do that," Colbert deadpans in response.

Stick around for the Lochte replying to every question Colbert asks with, "I was intoxicated."
