[@MrDavekatz]

Amy. Sedaris. is. a. national. treasure.

[@austinsontv]

More like a dusty relic from your grandma's Fridge that has way more sentimental value than anything else left behind in her last will and testament.

[@tangibleblockofwisdom6386]

YES. love.

[@mamabearmartie]

My older sister was in Girl Scouts w/Amy, they went to same HS and Amy spent the night at our house a few times. Unfortunately I was too you g to remember 😭

[@Da_Wurm]

@@austinsontv dusty relic from the _fridge_ ? the fuck kinda lunatic grandma did you have?

[@austinsontv]

@@Da_Wurm an old German from Russian woman who had dusty magnets hanging on her fridge made from whatever because she was a child during the Great Depression.

[@clashmovator6130]

I think we just learned Stephen Colbert's origin story.

[@tomitstube]

this was way too short, could have been a whole show. "are you crying?" i died.

[@okeomslax26]

AGREED! Like 20 minutes of him and John Olivier and then 40 with Amy would be the fuckin best. I could listen to them tell stories for hours

[@cdgins]

I so want to hear Amy and David mocking Stephen's menu.

[@joshbam]

I like the way she yelled STEVEN COLBERT!! at the beginning

[@tymax6751]

"Never as professional as I should be again." They pulled the stick out of your a$$, Colbert. That's what they did. And we're forever grateful to them.

[@gulmaraz5931]

Last time I saw colbert, South Park wasn’t banned in China.

[@clumsiii]

Stick? Could've been a crucifix

[@socrappyicoulddie]

They really are like brother and sister

[@tilottama23]

The emotion in Stephen's face at the end after Amy says 'Stephen Colbert, everybody' and he extends her hand out for her , warms my heart. ❤️ What a beautiful friendship!

[@TheDuality0fMan]

I really would just love to sit and watch them talk for hours. All hilarious stories told with such genuine love and affection.

[@edub9930]

Same. Damn those commercial breaks 😠 😡

[@aintnomeaning]

Amy Sedaris is the comedic actor for comedic actors.

[@johnholland9371]

I love that she's sitting 20 miles away from him 😅😅😅

[@spatchmo6938]

I love Amy Sedaris so much. I wish she and Stephen were co hosts just so we could see more of her

[@oneirishpoet]

I know right, I bet I've watched every one of her interviews with David Letterman 10 times

[@FionaChandoll]

This might be my favourite Colbert interview ever.

[@davidz7915]

"Strangers with Candy" was and is one of my favorite TV shows to watch again and again.

[@LordSkella]

Mine too

[@wm6549]

She should have her own talk show.

[@penni2980]

Yeah but she hasn't a chance. She's a woman 😮

[@williamstevens506]

Amy is a dazzling jewel. Such a true blue soul. My hope is that money or Hollywood never changes her though I can't imagine it ever could. So nice to have her show up once in a while in these awful scary times.

[@oneirishpoet]

I agree with you about Amy however this interview was done 6 months before the pandemic began. I'm sure she's even funnier now!

[@Geeksmithing]

Her dress was the dazzling jewel!

[@leica0000]

They're fantastic together.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Amen to that ! You can tell there's a deep loving friendship tween Amy, Stephen & Paul !!

[@SuperTron10]

They have such great chemistry. I admire their friendship.

[@brianlee1736]

Ever see certain people and wonder what it would be like to just watch them hanging out casually? This is it. Love what you do Mr. Colbert.

[@oneirishpoet]

I know right, can you imagine winning a prize they have dinner for one whole evening with just you and Stephen Colbert and Amy sedaris?

[@inhetbos]

I always smile from ear to ear when i see that there is a new video with her anywhere! For me she is pure joy personified!

[@mclmg]

I could watch 50hours of this 😍

[@rabbit251]

Don't exaggerate. Only 50 hours???!!!!

[@nancykillsyou]

Strangers With Candy: Seasons 1-3 on DVD now! Lol!

[@tangibleblockofwisdom6386]

In love.

[@ranchozaragoza]

I love when Colbert sings! He should do it more often!

[@christopherchilton-smith6482]

This was just delightful to watch, like every time he's in the same room with John Stewart and there's a camera on, you can see the history of mutual respect and friendship all over them.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

The band playing while Stephen imitated the muffled horns really emphasized the immersion.

[@marthareis5873]

And he does an awfully good muffled horn.

[@rain.enthusiast]

amy is such a cutie pie omg i can't wait to hear her in bojack

[@socrappyicoulddie]

They should have continued with Stephen's character in Bojack too

[@gulmaraz5931]

China sucks!

[@NicoRaimont]

Watching Stephen deny all his natural host impulses out of respect for Amy is both hilarious and heartwarming

[@Melissandrel]

The shrimp paste bit had me tearing up XD the more I watch Stephen, the more I love him.

[@bookbwitched466]

Me too! Not only it's he magnificently real, truly present, funny as hell, shockingly smart,....he, nightly, saves what is left of my trump riddled/addled/destroyed brain.

[@anthonylicausi3566]

You can just see their love for each other. Strangers with Candy w/ Amy , Stephen & Paul Dinello (also very funny) was college for me. A great lesson in comedy.

[@tangibleblockofwisdom6386]

Ditto. The only thing that totally matches the stuff I write.

[@statnoise5843]

I genuinely love his "Oh _CRAP_, did I really hand this over to Amy!? She knows me TOO WELL FOR THIS!!!" face as she introduces him and he walks out.

[@Redhunteur2]

Two of my favourite people. And with Amy and Paul both there, I expect Principle Blackman to walk out and address his students. Damn I loved that show.

[@cappyjones]

I don't have words to explain how much I love Amy Sedaris 😍

[@firstnamelastname6193]

when you have a friendship like Stephen and Amy's you know you have a friend for life who knows you better than you know yourself. You will grow old together laughing along the way.

[@kenek629]

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. I love it when Stephen talks with his friends, the conversations, jokes and banter is just phenomenal ✨

[@oneirishpoet]

Yep his story is about the days with Amy and Paul and also working with Steve carell at the Second City are always just so much fun to hear!

[@eme.261]

Wow! That was beautiful-- 2 good, good friends just loving each other unreservedly. 😍🤩

[@KaiElan]

The fact of the matter is if Sedaris had her own spot on late night, everyone's heads would explode. Case in point: every episode of Letterman she ever appeared on :)

[@samd1405]

I thought for a time Letterman wanted her to replace him. Maybe she turned him down?

[@KaiElan]

@@samd1405 I could see where someone as versatile as her wouldn't be able to sit still for that kind of commitment, and I can see Letterman wanting that tooo

[@oneirishpoet]

I just made that comment, I probably watched every one of Amy's interviews with Dave Letterman 10 times

[@dwolf4]

Pure love and care for each other.

[@JessicaZane4realz]

She was the best in Strangers With Candy.

[@henrikcarlsen1881]

Seems funny, but the voice?? It can be used for cutting up iron slates.

[@therealpixie]

That dress looks like a really fancy emergency aluminum blanket.

[@kalevala29]

she's worn it on his show before. She always wears cute dresses so I'm surprised she didn't wear something new

[@cluelesscheese1]

She has friends who are lesser known fashion designers and loves to show off their work

[@opaloakley]

She would love that.

[@canadey97]

cluelesscheese1 it’s a Molly Goddard dress

[@fuzzycublb]

I think it looks like a Christmas tree skirt

[@taputechnic]

That was the best interview I've seen in a long time.

[@freem8son86]

Princess Carolyn!

[@leica0000]

I'd forgotten that was her!

[@Zunken]

Oh yeah! That's where I know that voice from.

[@theheartofablackbird2109]

And Mr. Witherspoon

[@yeeaahhzz]

Jerri Blake?

[@dkrom]

@@yeeaahhzz Jeri Blank

[@_MSD75_]

Her dress is everything.

[@larryscott3982]

She does a much better poodle skirt with form fitting bodice.

[@tangibleblockofwisdom6386]

EVERYTHING

[@MsFuzzipoo]

Her dress is WAAAAYY too much and it's absolutely perfect.

[@iimepad4606]

Amy's laugh is so pure

[@shotjohnny]

You know you're a good friend, when you can be brutally honest with someone and they still love you.

[@Ziadha]

I’m so jealous of the friendship of this trio. I wish I had a similar relationship

[@Sabbathblackcat]

These two are national treasures!! Strangers with candy will always be the best show!

[@Wesmin]

What a lovely interview between long-time friends.

[@PaddyyYY]

You know It's a special Superhero Origin Story when the hero cries to get his power.

[@TangiersIntrigue]

This is incredibly wholesome.

[@codymcintyre1134]

Paul, Amy, and Stephen ❤️

[@blueberryboats]

After being the best guest on Letterman it feels so right to see Amy behind the desk of the Late Show.

[@murraysampson2501]

This is the best segment EVER on this program! Amy is a queen!

[@jamesdooling4139]

My cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing for nine minutes. Thank you.

[@jamessmithe5490]

Hearing about Stephen's early days is actually quite fascinating. I wonder if he gets nostalgic about it?

[@nancykillsyou]

If I ever have the pleasure of meeting Stephen Colbert I WILL address him as “Mr. Noblet”.

[@serious7179]

Lol! This was hilarious! A treat to watch :-)

[@KrisRyanStallard]

So far, I've only watched Amy introduce Stephen, and I can tell you that she needs to do more interviews.

[@KrisRyanStallard]

So, two years later, are Amy and Stephen social distancing but the audience still packed in there together?

[@lartisteautravail]

She made many appearances on David Letterman if you’re ever bored and on KZbin

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

Favorite friendship ever.

[@RIXRADvidz]

she really is This Generation's Lucille BaLL. Amazing Comic Genius, Talent Talent Talent, Style, Aplomb, Comfortable in Her Own Skin. the thumbs downers are Boozer-User-Losers, we can all agree to that.

[@Fragrantbeard]

RIXRADvidz she's glorious - I need to go look up some Amy Sedaris stuff. Have any recommendations? I've got Strangers with Candy, but that's it.

[@samanthagiovinco6327]

​@@Fragrantbeard Her new show, At Home with Amy Sedaris is really amazing, showcasing her brand of bizarre humor. But one my favorite things about Amy is she has a habit of popping up out of nowhere in really great stuff (Bojack Horseman, Kimmy Schmidt, Broad City, Horace and Pete) and it's always a hilariously good time.

[@One-eyedFats]

Any opportunity to see you, Amy, and Paul together is wonderful. Blessings to you all. 🤗💛

[@mgg5418]

She’s crazy. I love her 😂

[@TheCiaMKultra]

Crazy as a Fox 😂

[@avilleguy]

I love Amy Sedaris!

[@aarthikrishnakumar1191]

What a remarkable life this man has lived... I hope I get the chance to love people this much too.

[@ginavivinetto5992]

Their comedic chemistry is such a joy to watch. Loved them since "Stranger Things."

[@hannathompson7998]

That was AMAZING. I want to hear all the trigger word stories!!!

[@baileybrian9560]

Strangers with candy: Greatest show ever created

[@stevemack7110]

tried to watch it but couldn't , just not my cup of teeth.

[@CraigandJane1]

My wife and I loved that show.

[@lavendertease]

So true. So underrated.

[@MeloniousThunk]

It was brilliantly written and performed but there is definitely some racial “humor” in that show that would not make it past network censors in 2019.

[@ShackledFreely]

L B “Wanna know how I know you’re not a racist? Because I’m not a racist, and that’s all that matters, Paul.”

[@wildsheepc]

That is the Dinello-Colbert-Sedaris crack I love me so much. NEED MORE!

[@thecrazycelt5143]

What a great interview! Absolutely love seeing a long term friendship like this. Makes my heart happy.🧡

[@aley1929]

Cant look at amy without thinking princess caroline when she talks

[@baiwatch1]

Glad she finally got over vincent. What a douche.

[@suzannemeyer4793]

I love the flipped interviews. Keep it up!

[@versatilians]

I love when Stephen is able to give props and tell stories about all of the folks that he worked with, who made him the entertainer that he is today. Good shit! :)

[@uptoourpass]

The dress & my mind saw Phyllis Diller. Thanks for reviving those memories.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Heavens to Murgatroid !! Amy is my favorite Stephen Colbert guest !! It's obviously there's lots of love tween those two and Paul ! Bless that terrifically talented trio !! THANKS for sharing !! :-)

[@SANITIZEDINC]

She's a genius.

[@hayberdasher8625]

This was an absolute joy to watch

[@davidpeterson7950]

I never get tired of Amy. She’s my spirit animal

[@Ghent2007]

So fun to have friends like Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello! Why can't I have that like Stephen Colbert?

[@zazuzazz5419]

“...I’m not pushing you away... I’m pulling me towards myself!!!”

[@Cozy_adjacent_]

That dress and outfit 🙌🏽 Have you seen her apartment tour 😻🥊 Most importantly Amy Sedaris and Colbert have such an amazing friendship 🌈

[@user-jl7ym4en5b]

Amy is a Dame, if we had that Royal Title. Letterman adored her, she was his "new" Teri Garr muse. Amy, with Paul Dinello & Colbert, together are treasures! "Strangers" is golden!

[@RickyLiveOG]

I love Amy Sedaris so much!!

[@redbhdfw104]

She should have a talk show. I just love her!

[@tanpgameboy]

I love all three of them (strangers with candy fan 4 life)

[@nancykillsyou]

jeff palmer YESSS! Cool guy right here☝🏽

[@rachelwood9438]

Me too!💗

This. This was truly special. Much, much respect.

I have a notion to second that emotion !! She is SO talented and SO adorable !! :-)

[@Skull_slinger]

I love these two and Paul D. 💚

[@kw2874]

Amy, you have always been my hero!

[@carlosborja6878]

just wow! Awe inspiring, great trio.

[@MrPooPooJohn]

Strangers With Candy is one of the most underrated works of genius of all time. We will never have anything like it again.

[@wpl6661]

Stephen should have Amy and her brother David on for a show. That would be hilarious.

[@michaeldwyer5675]

Those two are hilarious together.

[@WillieEvansJr]

Strangers with candaaaaaaaaay 🙌🏾

[@elimarrin]

I can't love this enough!!! Amazing!!!! Great stories!!!!!

[@r.h.6249]

who else liked this theme much more than the usual theme....i hope they play it regularily

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

What's great is that the times they've come on, their interviews have seemed so short, but now we know why - they were filming this (or some other bit) as well to broadcast later.

[@thebrodwarrior_xi6515]

JERRI BLANK 2020! 🇺🇸

[@dlj4200]

When I got arrested, the cop asked where I was going. I said “Amy Sedaris’s house.” True story.

[@jenius6877]

That Hit and Run episode is classic. Yeah I still look at it from time to time. Recently seen with my son, yup - still funny even to him.

[@neilcrowesongs9768]

Love it. She's a total delight and what a connection

[@baiwatch1]

Her voice makes me happy. Love her on bojack.
