T.J. Miller Plays NASA’s Top Mars Mission Candidate on ‘The Late Show’

It looks like T.J. Miller made a great impression on Stephen Colbert when he appeared on The Late Show in January, because last night Colbert welcomed him back for a hilarious interview as NASA Mars mission candidate Donnie Barnett, a meat-eating loner night owl who has all the ideal qualities NASA is looking for in Mars-bound astronauts. “You gotta really want it. It’s hard work,� Barnett tells Colbert. “I wake up between 9 and 11pm, I watch Bones, then I order a little Hut – Meat Lover’s, obviously. Then I pet the dog, invite the dog onto the couch, then fight the dog for the Hut. Then, before you know it, I’m back to training in bed, sleeping like a little baby.�
