“It’s amazing just to see how much of an impact he still has on their lives and how much they remember him,” Fassbender said of meeting Jobs’ colleagues.

Michael Fassbender visited the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday to discuss his starring role in the Aaron Sorkin-written Steve Jobs, which hits theaters Friday.

While first chatting about “loving” their positions as alter boys when they were young, Fassbender told host Jimmy Fallon that “it is actually the first sort of experience of acting, really. I felt like I was up on a stage,” he said. “It actually was quite boring sitting there in the congregation, but to be up part of it…” He said that he made money the “kosher” way (he earned cash working weddings) in being an alter boy, with which he bought his first stereo.

The duo transitioned to chatting about his latest role in Jobs. “I like it. It was pretty intense. I’m still a little bit numb when I watch it,” he said before praising the cast and director Danny Boyle.

“We had to speak fast because there’s 190 pages or so, so you don’t want it to go over two hours. So for that reason, you have to speak very fast,” the Irish actor said of the R-rated drama, in which he stars as the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who died of of pancreatic cancer on Oct. 5, 2011.

“It’s amazing just to see how much of an impact he still has on their lives and how much they remember him,” Fassbender said of meeting Steve Wozniak, Jon Sculley and Joanna Hoffman, among other colleagues of Jobs. “I could feel the sadness and the love there was pretty palpable. So that was something I really took from those meetings.”

Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels and Seth Rogen also star in the biography.

The new ‘Daily Show’ anchor and former Comedy Central host discussed the advice Stewart passed on to his successor.

Trevor Noah made a visit to Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Thursday to discuss his new hosting duties on Comedy Central.

After Colbert welcomed Jon Stewart‘s successor to the interviewee’s chair, Noah complimented the new set before the two discussed Daily Show. 

“Every day I go ‘what have I done?’ You can’t live up to Jon Stewart. It’s insane,” Noah said when Colbert asked him his feelings of taking over from the “legend of talk shows.”

“Jon is like a Jewish Yoda,” Noah replied. The South African host said Stewart offered him the following advice: “he said the Daily Show is what the Daily Show should be for you to be the best show you can make.”

Stewart also told Noah “to go into it” and “trust your discomforts.”

Colbert asked the 31-year-old host, who has 10 years of experience to his name, what his hosting duties were like in South Africa. “We weren’t allowed to play any clips,” Noah said of not being able to criticize the government. “We had to describe all the pictures,” he remarked of having no rights to any of the photos of videos and having to describe events with drawings.

The Late Show host asked Noah if his new show will be delivered from an outsider’s perspective. “I’m not an outsider,” Noah, who is not a U.S. citizen, said of living in New York. “I suffer the same things that people suffer here.”

The conversation shifted to Wednesday night’s CNN GOP debate, which Noah said he “unfortunately” watched and called “painful.”

He joked (in an American accent) about how the candidates didn’t say anything when a question was asked of them, but told the audience “democracy is a beautiful and ugly thing at the same time” and that citizens should vote: “you should make it illegal to not vote,” he said, adding “When you have it, you don’t appreciate it … show that you’re there. Don’t let it go.”

Noah begins his Daily Show hosting duties Sept. 28 on Comedy Central.
