“It was a lot of fun,” Colbert recalled.

“We needed it, though.
We needed all those days,” he added sarcastically.
“And you, Will Ferrell, go to play Darren to go be in the scene with Nicole.

Ferrell didn’t remember any specifics, so the host described the events from his recollection.
“Because the moment she called ‘action,’ she flipped some switch.
“And you walked over and you went: ‘What the f— just happened out there?’
And we all went, ‘I don’t know.’
And you went, ‘I couldn’t remember any of my lines!
I couldn’t get out of her eyes!
What the f— just happened?’
She literally glowed from the inside.”

“We had [Kidman] on she was sitting right there.
I said, ‘We were in a movie together!
We were inBewitched,'” Colbert recalled.
“And she went, ‘What?
You were inBewitched?'”
