The Don't Forget the Lyrics host is mad about Peanut MampM's. "I like to bite the candy shell and eat the nut on its own. If you see a dish with all the nuts missing, you know I was there. I'm the nut bandit. That would sound really weird out of context."

"You'll think I'm saying this to be funny," says the Bee Movie star, but "my favorite Halloween candy really is Bit-O-Honey. It's always been Bit-O-Honey. If you go into Dylan's Candy on Third Avenue in Manhattan, you'll see my name is up there with a picture of me with Bit-O-Honey, because that's my favorite."

From truthiness to toothiness: "I like the little candy corn. I like to bite the tip that's white off, the middle that's kind of brown, and then eat the orangey end – in that order," says The Colbert Report host.
