- On June 14, Stephen Colbert, host of CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," returned to the stage of the Ed Sullivan Theater to face a live audience, something he had not done in 460 days due to COVID restrictions. CBS News' John Dickerson attended that return taping, and talked with Colbert about what it means to perform comedy with (or without) a live audience. He also spoke with Evie Colbert, who during the pandemic became her husband's live audience of one.

Evvie deserves a special Emmy: Best Support on a Talk Show.
She’s not the show pendejo
Call it the EvvieEmmy
Indeed!
🤚I second that
Evie as part of the show is one of the best things that came from 2021, one terrible year.
100%💗
Keep Evie!
Evie and Stephen are the definition of relationship goals
You mean, from 2020?
True that.
He and Mrs. Colbert really compliment each other!😝🙏👍
Actually Stephen and wife Evie both compliment AND complement! 😍 I do admire their obvious respect and love for each other -- they are a true "natural pair."
Stephen's relationship with Evie is peak relationship goals. Get yourself a partner that looks at you like that.
And you can tell that from a scripted, edited, and processed eight minute television segment done by the network he works for and is essentially a commercial? Nice.
@@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078 She laughs at every one of his jokes, she goes to work with him and he likes it, they've had several interviews as a couple, they've never cracked. I think it’s because they have something special. There's no harm in seeing what it appears they have and wanting that in your own life. In order to be happy over time, you have to strive toward something better for yourself, relationship, job, health, etc. It helps to have something from which you model your wishes. What you model from doesn’t have to be real, it just has to appear to be. I think what they have is real.
I think it's a generation thing. Nowadays young people don't want to work on a relationship. They bail at the first sign of difficulty.
@@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078 Jelly much? You clearly haven't been watching Colbert for the past couple of years.
@@TheMemoryPolice the divorce rate for boomers and the mature silents is almost double that of millennials lol so it’s actually old degenerates like you destroying marriages
He is now the best late night talk show host. Excellent monologues and snappy comebacks. Good guests and great band. That professionalism shines thru and kept us sane for a year and a half. Welcome back.
The Colbert family helped me preserve some small shred of sanity through the last year.
Couldn't have said it better! ;)
Yes!
Yup.
This man (and his wife/family) are the upstanding examples we needed through this trying time and I so appreciate him/them.
Thank you Stephen and Evie for keeping a light burning that helped to buoy our hope and sanity. We as your fans will always remember you for this kindness. Welcome back to the Ed Sullivan Theater.
"I'll be back, I live here!" too funny! Thanks Stephen and Evie?
I watched your show every single day from the first day we went into lockdown. You got me through some really hard days and nights being terrified of getting sick and losing my business. Thank you for being strong for all of us. WE DID IT !!!!!
Steaven Colbert is a very great exemple of CBS liberal anti GOP bias he doesn't even try to hide it
He spent the last four years deviding the nation with hatred and bigotry conspiracy theories and attacks against Trump and his family as well as against people he disagrees with......
He is a left wing activist who is paid for to do what he is doing right now
@@bestproto5117 Since you can't spell his name correctly I assume you are talking about someone else, you bloated turnip. Also, a quick reminder, Stephan Colbert may attack emperor orange, but t** and his undead followers physically attacked the capitol and tried to assault congressmen and women
@@LABofDoom Crocked Colbert is a left wing devisive hoax liar...
@@bestproto5117 Crocked Tucker Carlson is a right wing divisive hoax and liar... FIFY
@@kellinitely4709 Have you ever watched Jimmy Kimmel Trevor Noah John Oliver
These left wing hoaxers and liars are destroying our nation....
Wasn't really overjoyed when he was named as Dave's heir to the Late Show.....after awhile he won me over. This past year I've gotten to know and appreciate him better....more as a family man and as a person who respects humanity....thank you Stephen and Evie for helping us get through it all 🕊🕉
In 1 year Evie became an American staple. Who said there were no silver linings to the pandemic?
probably all the dead people
I found that I like wearing masks. I wear 10 while driving and listening to NPR
The amazing love between Stephen and Evie Colbert was a joy to see, so much
The night the show came back to the Ed Sullivan theater, I cried with happiness, but there was also the loss of that warm personal atmosphere they shared with us during the quarantine, that gave us a lovely bit of comfort as well.
Sometimes the simplest thing you could do for someone is laugh at your partner's jokes, you don't have to move mountains after that. Evie did just that and which healed the world literally. Love you Colbert family who stuck together and made us get through the hardship. ❤️❤️💕💕🙏🙏

@@bestproto5117 Maybe you should study the American system. We are ALL entitled to educated opinions. The idea that anyone has to cater to you on an entertainment show is authoritarian, ridiculous, and incredibly self-important.
@@kathynj447 Except that the same people who keep complaining about Fox who keep saying fox divides the nation they love to see people like John oliver Trevor Noah Jimmy Kimmel fear-mongering about Trump.
@@bestproto5117
Okay.
Except Fox purports to be NEWS. It's not. But it pretends to be. It's deliberately deceptive propaganda. It lies about what it is
The shows you cite are entertainment. They never pretend they are anything else.
@@kathynj447 CNN too claims to be "the most trusted news in the world" so does ABC so does MSNBC so does CBS......
So you think its fine to spread propaganda as long as you are spreading it against republicans
That's why you think Fox is bad but CNN is good.
Delightful. He and Evie are just plain delightful.
This really shows how special Stephen and Evie are. Thanks for the helping all of us the past year!
truly have the sweetest relationship. the mom and dad of quarantine. :)
Steve's the tree, Evie's the rock. 💞
He is my favourite late night host. Hats off to Stephen Colbert and his beautiful wife Evie 👏👏👏👏
Evie Colbert is a national treasure and also a total smokeshow. Good on you, Mr Colbert.
Don't worry Stephen, I laughed with you through the mess of EVERYTHING(like the last 5years). Evie's giggle made mine bubble up even more. Thanks. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself
I don't want to miss her sincere spontaneous hearty laugh!! Great every single time!!
Oh my gosh, Colbert kept me sane during the election. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
I, along with many others, want Evie as a permanent fixture.
Those shows with Stephen's family were just everything! 🥰
I love Evie’s laugh.
Forget skill, talent... Etc, this man's honesty and good vibes are what transcend above all! It reminds me of Craig Ferguson and his late late show, and that's a compliment!
He’s a very good person. My favorite memory was when he was on the Daily Show the night Obama was first elected. It was live that night waiting for the results to come in. When it was announced that Obama won, Stephen cried tears of joy. Jon had to cover for him.
this is the cutest thing ever, also "i don't really work here" is evie a comedian too??
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Evie & Stephen for your love for each other and love for your audience.
I loved him being on with his wife 🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’ll come back… I live here. Evie is wonderful.
I will miss Evie! She and Stephen got me through the pandemic. Thank you!!
I adore all the comments here. Evie and Stephen kept me sane and laughing.
Love Stephen and Evie
Bravo Stephen! Thank you, Jimmy K, Conan and Seth for being part of our Pandemic survival kit.
Sam Bee and John Oliver say hi :)
And Bill Maher and Amber Ruffin round up my late night pandemic comforts.
Oh yeah! I may actually be in love with John Oliver and “Amber Says What?” is fabulous - plus there’s her new show.
I love Late Night. Stephen Colbert is the best LN host right now. I can’t wait every morning to watch the show on CZcams.
You need to check out Greg Gutfeld. WAY, WAY better than Colbert.
@@Lp78Ch Thank you for stating your opinion but with due respect I don’t agree. Greg gutfeld is not my kind of host. He’s not even a match to Colbert. Sorry.
I’m so thankful he stayed with us through the pandemic, and so happy he’s back in his natural element. My favorite part of A Late Show was witnessing the beautiful dynamic between Stephen and Evie. I hope we see Evie from time to time now that THE Late Show has finally returned. She proves that behind every great man is a great woman. And Stephen is much more than a great entertainer, he is a great human being!
She should be a regular part of the show!
What a wonderful couple they are. Love his show.
Love all the hate? Love dividing the country? Oh how lovely! 😂😭
@@youknowmyname5695 Love the honesty and intelligence he expresses.
Lick the boot! Whatever master says, huh. I’m sure the criminals that provide his talking points really care about you. He spreads lies and division for money.
@@joniheisenberg6691 Oh yeah he totally showed honesty by trying to shut up Jon Stewart; so he wouldn't talk about C19 origin.
I'm no Trump fanatic but countering divisiveness with hatred is not something to applaud. Trump is orange jokes for 4 years, is not what I would call "intelligent."
.
@@youknowmyname5695 “Love it or leave it.” That is your motto right ? You are a Trumpster.
He’s done more for me than he will ever know. He’s the man.
He and his wife and every member of his staff and last but not least Jon Batiste and the untouchable band all helped us make it through the darkness
You don’t sound like you gone through any darkness. So desperate to be a victim...ahhh you poor thing.
Some night while Stephen is doing his monologue, the whole audience should just say “ that was funny”.
Great segment! Congratulations, Stephen Colbert on returning to the Ed Sullivan Theater! Thank you for making me laugh as much Evie. Now, I’m a fan for life. Keep the laughs coming!🤣🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
*Lord, I see what you've done for other gorgeous soul mates...*
Holy crap, I totally get that I can change but nothing around me can change bit. 😂
I am glad he realized that his wife was a great catalyst for his humor. Appreciate your wives, men! They are treasures.
Meh
Love you, Stephen!!
God bless the Colbert's Evie deserve's an award for being the most amazing spouse ever
He kills me with the picture of his dog 🐕 in the background!! 😂
It was the most touching show. thank you Stephen and Evie.
Happy he is back on and for him and his wife. Never act like you feel something though, if you feel it you will never have to act. I hope your staff were taken care of during this period. Thank you for your entertaining us through this period.
Being confined in that closet might largely be responsible for Stephen saving us from a trump-pet presidency though;it was genius to display how to register and vote. I honestly believe that turned the tide. But, I actually miss the closet broadcasts 'cause during that whole time, it felt more personal to me as the audience because he seemed to be talking to ME instead of a studio audience. Hope he considers occasional re-visits to broadcast from the closet.
I am with you all the way. His show was more personalized, stripped down, non-pandering. He had a knack for relating to his TV audience even if he think he needs a live audience. I think he's overlooking the fact that he's very talented in both venues, with an edge toward the TV audience venue.
Nice To See Stephen Colbert Back On Stage Infront Of The Live Audience
Man, the make-up at 1:50 is brutal lmao. I guess it works beautifully on camera, hahaha
Right?? I was like wondering why nobody was talking about it😂
No One misses The Colbert Report, especially Evie. Happy he is back in studio though, it was hard watching without a crowd.
Good she was there to help out for us!
When you don't know how you're gonna do something, you figure it out, because people will remind you how. Stephen Colbert is Da MAN!!! Closed Case.
Thanks to Stephen, family and crew for being there!
He's probably the most genuine host I've seen
For all there is to colbert he is in the end just a slap away from bumming the night. And that is truly endering.
When he had that party shirt launcher thing and told his son to celebrate…lol
The shirt launcher was a hoot! 🦉🦉🦉
That set needs to go to the Smithsonian.
Great teamwork on the Stephen Colbert Show! Best wishes
It's too bad that the majority of Stephen's home state residents don't share more of his world view. If they did, Lindsey Graham wouldn't be in the US Senate.
Love you Stephen, thank you for being there for us... always... a FAN! Thx to Evie!
Give Evie her show!
Love you Steven Colbert and your wife rocks!!!
Evie was not the only audience. Chris and Mark laughed as much as she did. Esp. Chris.
If that was the guy with the very loud outbursts, I loved his laugh! It made me laugh even more lol
You can still hear him with the audience now back. The guy's laugh is infectious😂
The USA can be glad to have someone sane like Colbert.
Stephen & Evie Colbert are Amazing!
I hope they paid Evie (and the kids when they were crew).
I have been wondering about this for a long time
@@vrobinpal glad to know I'm not alone in this thinking!
I think she's going to be ok
@@MsRollingstone11 HAHA! Yes, true!
I love Stephen!!!!!
Oh Steven we miss you too but …what a nice lady your wife is you are a lucky men and yes you are one great showmen !
Went to a live taping of his show Jan 2016, second worst snowstorm in NY history. Jackson Browne and Donald Rumsfeld (they ended up cutting a whole segment where Colbert offered him a dream vacation to Iraq lol).
You know it's a great show when then cut gold.
I got there in its 1st month. Michelle Obama, John Legend. Pinch me.
@@dahawk8574 Rumsfeld looked uncomfortable at the segment and CBS caters to corporate interests, so it made sense they cut it.
@@steveconn, I left out a critical part of my own story. Yes, I did get to see LSSC. But there was a heavy dose of disappointment. Because I had FAILED to make it to see The Colbert Report, the incarnation of his character that was absolutely brilliant. I knew that his move to the top, entering mainstream network tv was going to come at a huge artistic cost.
Well more than half a decade in, I'm glad that the impact has been much less than I had feared. It was Trump who pushed him back out to the edge, and that's what got him to blow the doors off the Jimmy's. Bold. And well earned success. Maintaining enough integrity to keep Jon Stewart proud as the father who raised this crop of latenight mastery. Spawning at least half a dozen hosts who got their own show. Absolutely nothing like this phenomenon in the entire history of tv.

He is a left wing activist who is paid for to do what he is doing right now
@@bestproto5117: "He spent the last four years deviding the nation with hatred and bigotry conspiracy theories..."
There's no question that the last set of years has been filled with intent to divide the nation with hatred and bigotry.
The difference btwn your and my perspective is that you see Colbert as the cause, whereas I see him as the cure.
No need to hold any debate here. This week is the start of the Indictment Floodgates opening. 2021 is the Year of Reckoning for a multitude of crimes where accountability has long been evaded. The COURTS will soon bring clarity to exactly where and who has been at the crux of the severe problems.
Back in the early 70s, Nixon still had many supporters. As the facts were brought into the light of day, the supporters quickly dwindled in magnitude. The same is happening right now. Except the big difference is that Nixon's crimes are TRIVIAL by comparison.
His wife did a great job. The signs of a good women.
great interview!
Love me some Colbert ❤️
Such a great interview for a great man. Thank you.
Even people who do what they love have to remind themselves that they love what they do.
This was a great report. Loved the behind the scenes insight.
Such an intelligent man!
Enjoy both and hope for many more years
I'm having a hard time getting used to the live audience again.
It's just a different vibe. I am getting used to it, but not really preferring it.
It is such a pity that Colbert didn't realize he was a million times better, casually dressed & without the audience?!?! Thankfully I think Cordon gets it!!!
Yeah he was, but sadly he wasn't able to handle performing without an audience. Those 460 days were an absolute nightmare for him.
I agree. I love Colbert but I liked the pandemic format more. I enjoyed hearing his cameraman/sound guys laugh lol
@@SouthwesternEagle I get that, but he did such a great job that certainly he can acknowledge how much so many of us preferred the pandemic version.
I was so in love with David Letterman, and still are or is it still am, that it was very difficult to get used to Stephen Colbert it took weeks. I don’t have cable TV so I really didn’t know him from a hole in the wall. And I loved Paul ShafferIn the world’s most dangerous band they later had to change their name I’m not sure what it is. It was really difficult to get used to the Jon Batiste and stay human. I knew Paul’s music, but I did not know Jon’s music, it kind of had a Louisiana taste to it a Louisiana rhythm to it. But fast forward, John Baptiste left Stephen Colbert show and it was like losing a friend. Life can be weird sometimes. 😮😊❤
i love evie
love watching your videos as always :)
I love Evie.
Part of me misses the intimacy of the small scale show, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't blown away by his first night back.
Every time someone says 'Steve and Evie' I think they said 'Steve and Eydie ' ha ha 😎
Love them!!!!
When we saw Colbert on the old show in 2012, he told the audience "Have a great show!"
Mr. Colbert really and truly.got me thru this Pandemic. He probably won't read my comment but if by any chance he does, just know you are my hero!!
The lockdown shows felt more genuine and personal. The constant clapping and cheering by crowd is kinda nauseating and indicative of US demagoguery
So much love
Think about this…the guy was the best late-night host and the best political satirist and commentator in the nation BEFORE Covid. Then he managed to build even more of an audience during quarantine. The guy is immensely talented and impressive. I LOVE that he stuck the South Carolina sticker on his mark. How cool is that? If I were in his position I’d do the same. Have a sticker of Oklahoma. To remind me who I am and where I came from.
He kept it goin'.
He’s truly a genuinely cool dude. He speaks the truth, made fun of Trump and his looney Cabinet and Party which was always the best. He definitely kept me entertained during the pandemic!
HES SO FINE UUHGHH 😩❤
Stephen gets us through all the horrors and ridiculous of life.
Why won’t they interview James on the late late show cuz the audience def does not make that show. The crew does
For reals...
Both Corden and Meyers are thriving without audiences
Nope .The Late Late show is amazing without the audience.
Comedians need an audience for energetic, human, spur if the moment feedback. They need to know how their jokes are landing. For Colbert to have Evie has been a boon for him. I'm betting this has been super difficult for all the late night hosts. All of them have maintained their audiences, but they would all prefer to have the audience.
Corden sucks. Seth Meyers for the win.
Personally, I very much enjoyed the from-home pandemic shows. They had an intimacy that's lost on the stage, and the lack of audience response made the humor stand on it's own--or fall flat, which could be even funnier.
She is a treasure.
