John Krasinski tries to teach Stephen Colbert a Boston accent, both end up in tears

While it's always great to check in on projects people are working on, every celebrity interview should probably just consist of both parties attempting various accents.

As Stephen Colbert and John Krasinski prove in the Late Show clip above, it's a whole lot more fun.

On this occasion, the accent in question is an old favorite: the Boston accent, which Krasinski proved he was a dab hand at during his viral Super Bowl commercial.

Colbert? Not so much. 10/10 for effort, though.
