The 12-year old actress earned the title Tuesday night when she stopped by the show to talk about the runaway success of the Netflix series, her not-quite lifelong career, her burgeoning love of vinyl, and Dungeons & Dragons, of which [self-professed geek](http://time.com/4440615/stephen-colbert-late-show-lord-of-the-rings/?iid=sr-link1) Colbert is a big fan. Of course, Colbert couldn’t let Brown leave without a few [_Stranger Things_ ](http://time.com/4426157/10-questions-stranger-things-still-needs-to-answer/?iid=sr-link1) shout-outs including a spoof of her character Eleven’s unique telekinetic powers. In the sketch, Brown dressed up as [Eleven](http://time.com/4473961/stranger-things-season-2-plot/?iid=sr-link4) and Colbert stepped in as her faux father, [Dr. Brenner](http://time.com/4470027/stranger-things-david-harbour-interview-season-2/), played in the series by Matthew Modine. Then he asked her to demonstrate her psychological powers—on a burrito.
