There will be many things to miss about Carrie Fisher, who died on Tuesday at the age of 60. She was a talented novelist, memoirist, screenwriter, and actor who brought happiness to millions of people. One of the things she'll be most remembered for is her incredible wit.

One of the greatest pleasures of the return of "Star Wars" with "The Force Awakens" in 2015 was having Carrie Fisher hit the interview circuit. She could parry with Colbert and knew how to shut down an interview with the perfect quote. She had a highly individualistic, impish worldview, as she showed on her Twitter account. And in her three memoirs and hundreds of interviews, she was an advocate for people with mental illnesses. Her insight and wit made her work a script doctor in high demand. She was a national treasure.
