In a taped sketch from Wednesday’s _Late Show_, Craig and Colbert addressed that particular plot hole in a fictional sneak peek from _Spectre_ (out Friday). When Craig-as-Bond bursts into Rental Co. to rent a new vehicle after trashing his last one, it’s with all the urgency of someone who has assassins chasing after him … which is actually the case. However, the rental car employee played by Colbert is not moved: “We all have things to do.” Once Colbert pulls up Bond’s record, he feels compelled to point out that previous rentals had been smashed into buildings, driven out onto the water, and driven into Russian arms vehicles. Luckily, all that really matters in the rental car world is that you return your vehicle with a full tank of gas. Check out the sketch above. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/05/daniel-craig-stephen-colbert-james-bond-sketch "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4101383/colbert-craig-bond-skit/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4101383/colbert-craig-bond-skit/"},"headline":"Watch Daniel Craig and Stephen Colbert Solve a Major James Bond Plot Hole","datePublished":"2015-11-05T15:16:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:22:43.233Z","description":"The 007 actor did a sketch with the late-night host about returning a destroyed rental car","url":"https://time.com/4101383/colbert-craig-bond-skit/","keywords":["Television","stephen colbert","James Bond","Daniel Craig","Spectre","late show with stephen colbert"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Amanda Michelle Steiner / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4101383/colbert-craig-bond-skit/","name":"Watch Daniel Craig and Stephen Colbert Solve a Major James Bond Plot Hole"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"SPECTRE Featurette - First Behind The Scenes Look (2015) Daniel Craig 007 Movie","description":"SPECTRE Featurette - First Behind The Scenes Look (2015) Daniel Craig 007 Movie","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/tEAgrWrG/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-12T14:04:09.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/tEAgrWrG.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4101383/colbert-craig-bond-skit/","duration":"PT1M49S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4101383/colbert-craig-bond-skit/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
