Neil Gaiman made a guest appearance last night on The Colbert Report, where host Stephen Colbert conducted one of his least interrogating interviews with the best-selling author.

Gaiman appeared on the show to talk about his children’s book, The Graveyard Book, which recently won the prestigious Newbery Medal this January. During Gaiman’s introduction, Colbert said he was “going to bury him,” but really he went very easy on the author, choosing to humorously question him on why a children’s book would be set in a graveyard.

Gaiman did quite well in the interview and you can tell Colbert obviously likes him. Also, I think this is the first time I’ve seen Gaiman out of his standard black shirt and leather jacket attire donning a suit! It was a fun little segment, so definitely check it out here below.
