But she teamed up with Colbert to sweat the small stuff as well. “If there’s a sign in the break room fridge that says, ‘Deb’s yogurt—do not eat,’ then for Pete’s sake, don’t eat. It’s Deb’s yogurt,” Clinton says in the video. “We’ve got your back, Deb,” Colbert adds. The pair also addressed issues related to dry cleaning and Taylor Swift’s [surprised award acceptances](http://www.eonline.com/news/484728/justin-timberlake-does-taylor-swift-s-surprised-face-at-taylor-swift-you-have-to-see-the-gif), among other things. “And all Americans should have access to healthcare, ideally whatever Rob Lowe is getting,” Clinton says. “That guy looks amazing.” The former _West Wing_ actor—whose [real-life political affiliation isn’t clear](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/06/magazine/rob-lowe-on-the-problems-with-being-pretty.html?hpw&rref=television&%5Fr=0)—seemed surprised by the shoutout. > [](https://twitter.com/RobLowe/status/721091801256296448) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4296733/hillary-clinton-and-stephen-colbert-team-up-to-address-americas-smallest-issues/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4296733/hillary-clinton-and-stephen-colbert-team-up-to-address-americas-smallest-issues/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton and Stephen Colbert Team Up to Address America's 'Smallest Issues'","datePublished":"2016-04-16T14:37:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T16:48:20.098Z","description":"\"Cupholders in cars should be bigger, and also, what about sandwich holders?\"","url":"https://time.com/4296733/hillary-clinton-and-stephen-colbert-team-up-to-address-americas-smallest-issues/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc1b077ebf134f6f9/69888f653c1639b22645ce12/hillary-clinton-stephen-colbert.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc1b077ebf134f6f9/69888f653c1639b22645ce12/hillary-clinton-stephen-colbert.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert","caption":"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert","creditText":"Jeffrey R.
