She was the subject of a very lengthy CBS Sunday Morning piece, in which she halted the interviewer several times (full disclosure: to my delight) and found the questions either wanting or something she felt she needn't comment on. And then another interview with a major daily was published in which the critic talked about how much she scolded his line of questioning over tea.

All of that was prequel to this appearance, and Colbert, informed iconoclastic interviewer that he is, wanted to have some fun with her, and saved it until the very end. Posters here who took umbrage with her halted train of thought didn't consider that she was at the end of her segment. Colbert merely behaved as the man with a twinkle in his eye we've grown to expect, looking for a Colbert-ish way to end a wonderful talk, one of the best Jackson's given. I felt it was the perfect coda after the others, when Jackson visibly intimidated those querying her. Perhaps it played very differently to those who haven't seen her in other venues, or read the interviews.

Great TV, and Jackson got the last word.

Although it's funny that almost immediately after her observation, Colbert held up a Playbill for the Golden "Theatre"...

Very true and it sent me running to my phone to see if I was misinformed and the British spelled it "theater." Perhaps Jackson should have said we are confused or inconsistent as to how we spell "theatre" which by the way has been highlighted by my spellcheck. I do not think by the way Colbert would have corrected her had there not been some murmurs from the audience. I think if after all those years as a politician and in Parliament, that exchange struck her as rude, she is very lucky indeed!
