Stephen Colbert’s Apple Watch Derailed Mindy Kaling’s Touching Story

There are things which can embarrass you but there is nothing like your phone going off in public at an awkward moment.

Stephen Colbert knows this feeling all too well. In the clip below he interviews Mindy Kaling about her new film Late Night, and just as her heartfelt Emma Thompson anecdote is reaching its crescendo, his Apple Watch decides to pick a call from a hotel about his rewards program.

Cue lots of jokes from Kaling and an embarrassed red-faced Colbert.
