'What Do You Think Happens When We Die?’ Iconic Answers To The Colbert Questionnaire

With a vast range of actors, singers, and comedians completing this challenge, here is a look at some of the best guest responses to the Colbert Questionnaire!

Keanu Reeves’ answer became a viral hit online, answering the question by saying, “I know the ones that love us will miss us”. Insert tears.
