"Say it" "Damn girl that's good" "Alright" *takes swing of bourbon*

[@martinedelius]

I love it when the guests just go along with Stephens nonsense. :D

[@TheReal008Zulu]

I have an awesome Xmas recipe I would like to share; Take 1 litre of bourbon, and slowly stir in 200ml of bourbon. Gently pour over ice, and add bourbon to taste.

[@WernerEdgar]

Dont forget to add more bourbon!

[@TheReal008Zulu]

Too much, and you won't have room for desert; Shaved frozen bourbon, with bourbon sauce topping.

[@Elithrae]

Stephen would approve.

[@johnyliltoe]

Shaved frozen bourbon with bourbon sauce sounds legit amazing. Painfully cold, but delicious until it kills you.

[@ErykaSoleil]

Manwee, don't you try to police his speech! :p

[@maryinsanfrancisco]

"Damn, girl, that's good." 😂❤

[@JEEBUSxHIMSELF]

4:30 "little bit of sugar" just fucking dumps it in one spot lol the fuck

[@NewMessage]

Ah, the talk show cooking segment. A ready excuse to drink to comedic excess on camera.

[@seigeengine]

If you look closely, they didn't actually drink very much.

[@torikkusuta5926]

Holy shit he said healthful instead of healthy... my hero. I've never heard anyone else save for Carlin say healthful. It's so cathartic.

[@BlakieTT]

Merry Christmas, Stephen, Jon, band, crew and all the viewers

[@ramsasmr9200]

I love pomegranate! Anyone?

[@Elithrae]

The real question is: Do you spank your pomegranate?

[@ramsasmr9200]

Elithrae I haven't got to that point yet 😂

[@mclmg]

I hope Chef John of Food Wishes becomes a guest soon 🙏🏽💕😘

[@persephonestardust2498]

I love Chef John!

[@AClassOldie]

Aye!

[@lazyperfectionist1]

"Don't start drinking _yet,_ sir." Aww. ☹️

[@anonymousanonymous7593]

Sounds like my mom :/

[@cynicalcenobia]

'Dickensian?' Is Colbert secretly a Literary critic or something? The amount of literature references he throws into his speech is impressive.

[@sandpiperr]

Nothing against Bobby Flay, but I kind of love how Stephen totally showed him up in this segment by proving he knew how to toss the nuts in the pan when Flay doubted he could, and then made him look like a total yokel for not knowing what Dickensian meant! Too funny!

[@cynicalcenobia]

Lot of people here write how they find him (Colbert, not the Flay guy) attractive, & think this is why: he's super intelligent & well-read, unlike most late-night talk show hosts with their dumb games.

[@sandpiperr]

Smart is sexy ;-)

[@mori1bund]

sandpiperr: And not just guys. Women too. ^^

[@s0fa274]

A lot of comedians are really smart and are fairly knowledgeable about a range of subjects. Otherwise they wouldn’t have much material to talk about

[@bluefoster7169]

Dam girl that's Good

[@erric288]

Love how everything was vegan! Intentional or not, it's much appreciated. He could have been just trying for lower fat/cholesterol foods but he did use nuts and coconut but no oil or butter or dairy-whipped cream. It was hilarious nonetheless.

[@TheMrVengeance]

Wtf is wrong with oil? Are vegans against crushing seeds now as well?

[@ErykaSoleil]

Oil-free food is not a vegan thing specifically, and it's not about cruelty. There have been a number of peer-reviewed studies in recent years looking at the health pros and cons of consuming various oils, and they have turned out to generally be pretty unhealthy for the human body. So if you've become vegan for your health, you'll want to drop the oils as well.

[@adamtzsch]

ErykaSoleil Oils are essential for good health.

[@neen42]

Screw that, I need some oil in my diet.

[@adamtzsch]

noora Wow! A video! I hope, for your sake, *all* of your “knowledge” isn’t gleaned from KZbin 🤓

[@ErykaSoleil]

Vegan *and* boozy? YES, PLEASE. (Or, if we're going for Dickensian, "Please, Sir, I want some more.")

[@timothyamaraobrien]

"Damn girl, that's good." Steven is an honorary member of the tribe.

[@mebanlyngdoh7756]

What chu gon do Bobby..errrbody watching - 50 cent

[@idontcare9041]

There's too much food in this segment.

[@chrissycatwitch2]

Vegan ingredients❤️👌🏻

[@hannahl8081]

He wants to say a nut joke so badly lol

[@Howtard]

I used to work in a kitchen and those poached pears were an old go-to item when you had a big group of people. I'd really recommend making them because it's super easy to store, quickly throw together and serve no matter how big or small the group of people you're feeding. (not to mention they're really nice, unless you hate savoury spices in desserts)

[@ian12346]

I think Colbert is an alcoholic 🤣🤣

[@Elithrae]

He has to, five nights a week, report on the shitshow that is the world at large right now. THEN he has to sit people down and talk to them about said world and not throw up while doing so. If he is, in fact, an alcoholic, he's a highly functioning one, and I do not fucking blame him one damn bit.

[@timothyamaraobrien]

So was Churchill. He won the second fucking World War and.

[@ian12346]

Indeed, we can smell our own

[@daleydoodoo]

Damn girl!

[@gmonorail]

dickensian #ha

[@stroheckercindy]

Oh that was hilarious...more!!!!!!

[@azdgariarada]

Eagle Rare!! Good choice Colbert

[@SuperBluesify]

My first bourbon. Good times...

[@ErykaSoleil]

That almost perfectly rhymes, too.

[@nenafan1]

Gotta love Stephen! Has Bobby Flay on his show and is 10X more witty and personable and even better at cooking (stir in the spices).

[@TheInselaffen]

You can't liquor anymore without asking permission.

[@nhberrics]

Vegan ingredients..wussuppppp

[@conanthebarbarian8783]

NH Berrics HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

[@raes306]

Here because of 50cent

[@danieltaulbee9888]

5:52 Eagle Rare! Stephen has good taste, that's one of my favorite bourbons! And this is coming from a Kentuckian!

[@jeniferdivine]

on our tropic island in Thailand, my home is surrounded by coconut trees, i have coconut milk every day...

[@manowar5516]

jenifer divine That sounds nice. ☺

[@jeniferdivine]

+Mab O War it is! 💖here's some vids (w/beach shots) pass 'em on (You'll see why) WonderfulWords #WeWantFreedomNOW kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5qrY4ycmMtkZ8k Floodstage kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6C7doRsmKahf9E (this vid censored/blocked fb becauese 2nd verse text & visuals!!!)

[@ingloriousbasterd3067]

He said people ask "How do you stay in shape with so much food around"....might I suggest that you kinda sorta need a lot of food if you want to sustain the energy needed for an active life style and build muscle...it's what you eat that really counts...your body will tell you when you have had enough.

[@seigeengine]

And build muscle? You do realize you only build muscle to a point, and then you stop, right?

[@TheMrVengeance]

_"your body will tell you when you have had enough"_ No, it doesn't. That's exactly how you get people weighing 600lbs. If you eat a lot your stomach expands, so next time you need more to feel "full", and then more, and more.

[@seigeengine]

+TheMrVengeance The stomach does not change size, no.

[@TheMrVengeance]

If the stomach doesn't change size why is surgery required to decrease the size of the stomach from obese people?

[@Elithrae]

*+TheMrVengeance* While you're absolutely right that stomachs do change in size and stretch if you overeat consistently, you don't need to do surgery on obese people to change their stomach size for the reason you think. Fasting actually will naturally bring the stomach size back down. Or even just eating less in general will, over time. The stomach naturally shrinks and grows depending on how much you put in it, basically. The reason we have surgery to shrink obese people's stomachs, is by doing so, they feel full with a LOT less food, so they eat a TON less and their body burns the fat they already have. Nutritional supplements & very small portions (sometimes just pureed) super foods are what they use to have enough nutrition to actually stay alive, because their stomachs are shrunk down far, FAR beyond the normal human stomach.

[@radish45]

Probably make more sense to call it alcoholic's cookbook

[@Jabarten]

LOL! As opposed to the pothead's cookbook...LOOOL! Cheetos, Doritos and Ho Hos...ROFL! How about the meth head's cookbook....a lot of blank pages....LOOOL!

[@ElSmusso]

Coconut milk oh yeah

[@cucoycapinpin6887]

Gordon Ramsay is better

[@BelgarathDaSorcerer]

Hah, I dont eat food at 2 in the morning.... I eat food at 3-4 in the morning...

[@PragmaticAntithesis]

Hello, fellow early riser!

[@BelgarathDaSorcerer]

Not an early riser, but a sick person who cannot sleep because of pain, and college finals....

[@PragmaticAntithesis]

BelgarathDaSorcerer Ouch. Get well soon, and smash those exams, OK!

[@seigeengine]

I eat when I'm hungry, irrespective of the time.

[@indonoob]

"You're dating a cook? He’s a red headed fire-crotch - he’s a genetic mistake."

[@thereflextester_]

I feel like after Stephen's last interview with 50 cent, I doubt Bobby will be back anytime soon haha

[@tree-huggersans-cur4371]

Whipped coconut milk! AWESOOOOME!!

[@elephantwig7375]

I guarantee that someone is selling their priece of bark on eBay for hundreds of dollars.

[@rickniu4153]

And here i am eating and drinking at 2AM procrastinating studying for finals...

[@redseve]

bobby flay sounds like an idiot here, "not at 2 am like I used to do, but that was a lot more fun" *smiles at the audience*

[@RyanJohnson]

Just wish I could addord the spices and liquour. #whydidibecomeaprogrammer

[@debbiemarquis3231]

I love Colbert

[@lidiamancias2369]

he always wins !,let someone else besides his friends judge his shit !

[@rachelbee1]

Is there anything he does NOT put tangerine juice in?

[@noora8179]

no offense to martha and snoop but this here is the best cooking show ever

[@Sodchucker]

Eagle Rare 10 yo is always a good choice.

[@chumark54]

Seems too much sugar to be healthy...

[@nunyabidness8297]

Right? The only thing I can eat is the whipped coconut milk. I don't think this guy is qualified to write a book called "Fit" based on this segment.

[@MustbeTheBassest]

They work well together.

[@HexIsme]

The audience sucked.

[@pixiepix4546]

so my dad is a chef and yes. He cooks as well. People ask if he's cooking at home or Mum and all he does is laugh cause yes. Of course he cooks xD

[@adamtzsch]

Pixie Glittrdust He’s a chef AND he cooks? What’s the world coming to!?

[@RabblesTheBinx]

Depends, one of my neighbors growing up was a chef and he hardly ever cooked for his kids.

[@007NowOnline]

That was fun.

[@simoneingridy9561]

I love Bobby Flay😍😍😍😍

[@simoneingridy9561]

I love Bobby Flay 😍😍😍😍

[@RackedandStacked]

damn, Jon really wanted to get that drink down asap XDD

[@Elithrae]

I didn't see it, sadly. I'm totally cruious now, though, lol.

[@JoRiver11]

I know that it was probably for comedic effect, but if someone kept butting in without listening while I was cooking, it wouldn't be the eggs that get beaten.

[@cocobenji6123]

JoRiver11 u need anger management fr

[@JoRiver11]

Uh, you know about jokes, right?

[@FynnOliverEmonSill]

Nice addition - Too bad you couldn’t do a Thursday night special every week with Bobby Flay...Nice chemistry but you need a sassy mouthed, high energy southeast Asia/Indian gal there to really make this video pop. Two old white guys with the same haircut, not ...whomp whomp (suddenly I hear the sounds coming from the Price is Right show in my head. When you lose)

[@adamtzsch]

“Reduce down”?

[@atharvas4399]

Love how everything was vegan! Vegan food can be even tastier than non veg!!!

[@conanthebarbarian8783]

That was super cool, Bobby Flay is quite the character ahah!

[@SrSr-uf8cy]

Early

[@macktaylor6038]

“Damn girl that’s good” 😂😂😂

[@abrahamh6106]

What does Busman's Holiday mean?

[@madeleinewatersmedia]

ugh this video is a mrs threat to my sobriety yum

[@GrimKage]

Dhouldve called it Bobby Flay o Fish

[@mrscary3105]

I love Bobby Flay!

[@gardinobrynn]

Awesome

[@Watcher1852]

come to me

[@huberticusrex]

I am prejudiced against vegans and totally fine with that

[@lazyperfectionist1]

You say he's one of the most renowned chefs in America? Whoa. I'd like to hear what he has to say about Gordon Ramsey.

[@RajitRoy_NR]

one of the...

[@ernest747]

He's a spoiled British brat.

[@o.b.7217]

"I'd like to hear what he has to say about Gordon Ramsey." ----- Well, most likely, he would like to note that Gordon is British, born in Scotland.

[@sandpiperr]

I don't know what Colbert's feelings are on him, but if it were me...that he's an overrated, loud mouth.

[@o.b.7217]

@noora: Yes?...you don't believe me? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Ramsay

[@korndud]

this was so awkward so watch lol

[@yassinemathieu1078]

Power tackle twenty solid mixture resident trend inmate perfectly whole.

Nice strong passphrase there Yassine.
