Amanda Peet (born 1972) is an American actress who has appeared in film, stage, and television. She appeared on "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert and put him into a very awkward moment. Things got real, when Colbert asked Peet about her HBO show Togetherness. On the show, many of the characters struggle through midlife crises.

Stephen Colbert: "You've got a lovely life. What do you know from the mid-life crisis, is this a stretch for you?"

Amanda Peet: "No! Forty-four is … quite something."

SC: "You don't look like a personal crisis to me. What is your crisis?"

AP: "I fear death!"

SC: "Okay. … Well … Keep it light. We all die. It's the late night talk show, keep it light, keep it light. Maybe you'll go to heaven. You'll die and go the heaven."

AP: "Okay. That's where I need help. You're Catholic, right? I'm Jewish."

SC: "What do you believe?"

AP: "I need to know what to believe in!"

SC: "Like, what happens when you die?"

AP: "Yes. I don't want to be a bag of dust!"

SC: "I don't really know ... I don't know what happens. I kind of believe, I kind of want the pearly gates and all that.

AP: "This is not inspirational."

SC: "Not helping?"
