What clip or episode features Stephen Colbert’s remarks about Salma Hayek’s accent?

1. What the episode guides show — confirmed appearances, not specific lines

Episode databases and guides list Salma Hayek as a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in at least the June 2017 episode (Salma Hayek/Hasan Minhaj/Feist) and a February 3, 2021 episode (Salma Hayek/Mark Harris) ^{[1] [2] [3]}. These sources confirm she has been interviewed on Colbert’s program multiple times, which is the most concrete basis for searching for any specific remark about her accent ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

2. What the entertainment platforms provide — listings, not verbatim content

Platforms like IMDB and TV episode trackers supply episode titles, dates, and guest lists but do not routinely carry full transcripts or reliable verbatim quotes of monologues or interview exchanges ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Paramount+ hosts episodes of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and could be a place to view segments directly, but the provided Paramount+ listing in these results does not include a searchable transcript or highlight of an “accent” remark ^[4].

3. Secondary articles and clips in the results — no authoritative clip identified

Other search results in the set include Spanish-language commentary pages and entertainment reporting, but none in the provided bundle offers an authoritative clip, timecode, transcript, or a reputable news outlet citation that isolates Colbert saying something about Hayek’s accent. For example, a Spanish page claims a dramatic exchange about Mexico but does not provide verifiable sourcing or a specific clip reference in the results provided here ^[5]. That page’s content cannot be treated as a confirmed primary source without corroboration in the supplied reporting ^[5].

4. Where to look next — how to verify the alleged remark

Given the limits of the current sources, the next steps to verify or locate the exact clip would be: (a) watch the listed Salma Hayek episodes on The Late Show (noted on IMDB/TVMaze and available via Paramount+) to check interviews and monologues directly ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}; (b) consult official transcripts (CBS/Paramount press pages or TV transcript services) or the show's YouTube channel for searchable clips; and (c) seek coverage from major entertainment news outlets that might excerpt or quote the line. The current results do not point to such a transcript or an excerpt ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

5. Alternative explanations and caveats — misattribution and remix culture

Talk-show jokes about accents are often repeated out of context, clipped, or misattributed on social platforms. The available sources show multiple guest appearances and some commentary pages but do not corroborate the precise remark; therefore, it is possible a circulating quote is from one of Hayek’s interviews on Colbert (which the episode listings confirm), or it might be a misremembered or re-edited clip shared elsewhere ^{[1] [2] [3] [5]}. The supplied material does not adjudicate which of these possibilities is correct (not found in current reporting).

6. Short guide to credible confirmation — practical checklist

Use the episode listings as starting points: check the June 2017 episode and Feb. 3, 2021 episode named in IMDB/TVMaze to review the interviews directly ^{[1] [2] [3]}. If a specific remark is claimed on social media, look for a timestamped clip hosted by The Late Show’s official channels or a reputable outlet; absent that, treat the claim cautiously because the current reporting set does not include a verified clip or transcript ^{[4] [5]}.

Limitations: The facts above rely only on the provided search results; those results confirm Hayek’s guest slots but do not include a verbatim quote, timestamp, or a verified clip of Stephen Colbert commenting on her accent ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Available sources do not mention a direct transcript or a definitive refutation of the claim (not found in current reporting).
