BRIEF: Nia Vardalos jokes Stephen Colbert made her feel stupid at Second City

March 25--Stephen Colbert's greatest flaws may be his greatest strengths.

"He was obscenely nice and also so well-read that he could make you feel stupid all the time. That's what's wrong with Stephen Colbert and that's about it," Nia Vardalos said Thursday on Andy Cohen's talk show "Watch What Happens Live" after a viewer asked about Colbert's annoying habits at Second City.

Vardalos performed at Second City in the early 1990s with Rachel Dratch, Scott Adsit and Steve Carell, among others.

"It's a crazy bunch," Vardalos said.

Vardalos' Chicago-set movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2" opens in theaters Friday.

Colbert is the host of "The Late Show," which airs 10:35 p.m. weeknights on CBS.
