Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.

Whenever Evie is on, you can see Stephen beaming & smiling. It's so refreshing.

[@tarascott8000]

They adore each other. She said I won't mess it up and he replies, " you improve everything you are part of.

[@Surge1077]

They were the rare sunnytime during Covid. Her giggles in the background to his jokes made my day....

[@Climbingcoachsam]

Their love is so real ❤

[@liannebedard5521]

Thank you both…best antidote to a rough day…!,,

[@ascent8487]

It’s lovely. They got lucky.,

[@laalaa99stl]

The only bad thing about an Evie Colbert appearance is knowing we have to wait until the next card-giving holiday for her next one. Give her more stuff to do! We want more Evie Colbert! Happy 30th!

[@cozmothemagician7243]

If Evie wanted to be on more of the show, then Steven would likely have her on the show whenever she wanted. His love and admiration for his wife shows that he loves being in her presence and sharing that love with us. The audience may want to see more of her. I don' t think she wants that job. If she DID want it, then likely she would have it. Entertainment is not a business for everyone O_o OTOH, it is nice to see her perform with her loving spouse and share their love with us.

[@uruuphiil8335]

what this person said!!!!!

[@datgrrl5698]

Stop it... relish the moments you are graced with Evie's presence, savour them... don't beg and pester and deride and demand more...just because your life is lonely and lacking... allow this woman to live her life in peace...cor blimey you are pathetic, every single post (and you comment repeatedly on every programme you view... pathetic and tedious)...

[@MinhSen11]

Yeah, covid was good for this!

[@MsOldmom]

I have been married for 33 years. Congrats Evie and Stephen!

[@alphabrainwave]

30 and still flirty. Congratulations, Stephen and Evie. 💍

[@ddraigmafon4725]

Stephen and Evie - this is what a loving, respectful marriage looks like. Clearly still very much in love and the best of friends.

[@tylerbean542]

I love it! ❤

[@rejoyce318]

Well said!

[@arthurmartin4616]

If I ever get married, I hope it's half as happy as they are.

[@pamelaspooner7183]

My marriage was like that. He was a wonderful man.

[@alexmccaleb2152]

​@@arthurmartin4616don't let go of that 🙃😎👍

[@theresapennington7584]

This man is unshakeable and can have thoughtful meaningful conversations with some truly influential people. But when his beautiful wife is next to him, he turns in to a love struck teenager who only has eyes for her. The way he looks at her makes me believe in love and that they are the true epitome of what true love looks like. MORE EVIE PLEASE!!!

[@andreawilliams1509]

It makes me believe too. I like to pretend I'm a romantic cynic but I'm not. I just know the real thing is rare. They have the real thing. May they live long and continue to prosper.

[@Hullj]

​@@andreawilliams1509It's less rare than you might think. I (64F) would say that of the couples I have known, this was common in at least half of them

[@globalwarmhugs7741]

I couldn't agree more.

[@MorganaDarkgoddess]

They make me so happy, it's always nice to see them together.

[@kathyannk]

@@Hullj “Was”? 😵‍💫

[@latinoburger123]

This man has interviewed Presidents, Grammy winners, Oscar winners & the greatest athletes But nothing beats watching him interview his wife ❤❤❤

[@DanielBlancarte]

An also has been to Jeffry Epstein island what an amazing man right?!

[@cores163]

he seemed more nervous than with those ol presidents.

[@greenmissy]

That's so true! They are so cute together. ❤

[@liannebedard5521]

You cannot fake it for 30 years. She probably knows exactly when to stick a pin in him when his celebrity gets the best of him…

[@CynAnne1]

​@@liannebedard5521 - Well, as Stephen said last Monday night... "So glad the strike is over, 'cause Evie didn't want to chant my name anymore." 😂

[@tubularap]

2:20 - Stephen: "We were going to be in Portugal, because you love hiking, ... and I love you." - Great to see Evie be surprised by that line and laugh.

[@jenbdiamond]

The chemistry between these two is so wonderfully warm. I'm so glad they figured out that Evie is the *only* person Stephen should be doing this segment with.

[@senicanastasia]

The way Stephen looks at Evie is the way everyone hopes to be looked at by the one they love. His reaction when she came out made me melt 🫠

[@kathleenclark5877]

It is so endearing to see a celebrity marriage that is rock solid based on mutual respect, love and true friendship! Congratulations to Evie and Stephen!

[@dwighttjornhom9940]

Can wel all agree that EVIE IS A STAR!

[@veronicado1016]

YESSSSS!!! 🥰⭐

[@purrehype]

I loooove her!!!

[@BPH55]

I fell in love with her during the pandemic. I’d tell Stephen to move aside but he’s clearly the best man for her. 🙌🏼

[@violetqueen450]

I just love Stephen's "Wow!" when she walked out in that beautiful white dress. She looks amazing!

[@melissalareau1188]

Huge congratulations on 30 years!!!! #lifegoals

[@theguidedspirit2332]

You just don’t see examples of love like this anymore. So cute ❤

[@arquentur6226]

Protect Evie Colbert at all costs. ❤

[@TheEuphonium412]

After a horrible weekend with no levity, I was genuinely looking forward to the Colbert’s anniversary. The love and joy that Stephen has for Evie, and her radiant energy, are exactly the kind of pull back to earth I needed right now. Ever since COVID, Evie’s laugh has been a source of comfort, and I love when she’s on the show. Last year when they celebrated their 29th, I got excited for their 30th. Steve and Evie Colbert, congratulations.

[@bazodiezandolie]

Few things are more beautiful in the world than the fact that Stephen found Evie, and he still makes her laugh from her toes and she still makes him light up like the sun. Happy Anniversary!

[@barcelonachair6487]

Finding a partner that can make you laugh is everything. It doesn't matter if there is money in the bank or not, because this couple didn't start out successful. They take their commitment seriously and can laugh through the hard times.

[@IliyaMoroumetz]

Seeing Evie Colbert coming on the show has made it so much better with her being such a source of joy for him, makes it better for all of us.

[@familiewensink9705]

I can very much relate to this as we will hopefully celebrate our 30th anniversary this Sunday! Of course we are no way as glamorous as this lovely couple!😊

[@jackee1054]

That's ok....you are to each other! Congratulations! 💗 PS 40 for hubby and me on Jan 7! 🥰

[@storybard4438]

Cool!! Congratulations!

[@LisaLisa001]

Happy Anniversary! I bet you're every bit as lovely as this couple. ❤

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

Congratulations! May you have another Happy Thirty Years together with your family!

[@gayatribalmurali9231]

Omg!!Congratulations!! Hope your anniversary went well❤

[@M0odyBlue]

Happy Anniversary! So refreshing to see what a loving, respectful married couple looks like. They’re so funny! Can imagine how much fun they are in social situations. They’re also good tv together! Bring her on more!

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Every talk show should have bits where the host relaxes and jokes around with family. Like this, or when Seth Meyers' brother and father shows up on his show.

[@kindabluejazz]

Dave and his mom was always one of my favorites.

[@cleverusername9369]

Why did you seemingly intentionally leave out Seth's mom? I've watched them all and she appears in literally every single bit Seth has done with his family.

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

@@cleverusername9369 Not intentional. I just included the ones l was absolutely sure I could remember were there. (It's been a bit since I've watched a show with them.)

[@KPazzz]

Evie is STUNNING! 🤍 Happy anniversary!

[@elileonc]

3:30 Evie: "I wont mess it up this time." Steph: "You NEVER mess it up. You IMPROVE everything that you are part of". And THAT my friends, leads you to the 30th anniversary (and counting

[@lorrainethomas241]

Evie gets extra points for not spilling port on her gorgeous dress. Happy anniversary, you darling kids!

[@rainydaylady6596]

I know! The mom in me was "who drinks port when they're wet white?" Lol

[@lorrainethomas241]

@rainydaylady6596 Right? Every time Stephen gestured, I was "Dude! Watch the hands!" 🤣

[@SantyyNunez]

I’ve found my people. My first thought was “red wine with a white dress? I think tf not!”

[@lynclang]

My thoughts exactly!

[@m33ma2]

He makes "darling" sound so natural...its double sweet. CONGRATS Evie&Stephen. 30 years is quite a feat! Very inspiring! Much love and respect ❣️

[@anniezhong5277]

You guys are literally #MarriageGoals~ Hope you have a wonderful dinner after the show and congratulations on 30 years!!

[@sugarcookiecube]

This wonderful couple gives me hope that true love is still possible. Congratulations on your 30th Anniversary❤❤

[@Oktopia]

One of the sweetest couples in all of show-biz. I adore them both.

[@JudyFayLondon]

Such a beautiful couple! Happy Anniversary!

[@rebeccahenderson7761]

Here's to 30 more for Stephen & Evie! Much love from Canada 💙💙

[@The-Truth-Bomb]

While some of us are aging like milk, this stunning woman is aging like the finest Merlot.😊❤

[@liamwalsh4008]

Not sure which one I'm aging like. Does milk get fat? 'Cause I'm the one that gets fat.

[@duke9173]

Wine isn’t as fine as Evie in that dress.

[@loraldinp2624]

She’s beautiful! 😱

[@annarose3354]

That dress looks a bit....reminiscent

[@annarose3354]

With somewhat unique arms!

[@lauracarter1618]

the one good thing about the pandemic--we the audience got to meet evie! stephen is always at his BEST when evie is on! she is clearly his favorite person in the world, and it is so heart-warming seeing how happy they are together!

[@adrienwang98]

This makes me happy. Congratulations!

[@justaguy12345]

30 years is such a milestone especially when it's two people who are still so in love with each other like Stephen and Evie. It's lovely!

[@marym9582]

You guys are beautiful together. Happy Anniversary. 🎉

[@MeetLeAnne]

I LOVE how much Evie and Stephen love each other. Happy Anniversary, you two lovebirds!

[@faithfullyfaded]

Hands down, my favorite Colbert guest. Happy 30th anniversary, Stephen and Evie. May you (and we) be blessed with 30 more. 🖤

[@maryjane2965]

Steve loves his wife so much, she really seems to be his favorite guest he looks so proud!

[@amydavis4945]

Happy Anniversary, Evie and Stephen!!! My husband and I just had our 25th Anniversary in July, and like you, we are still best friends above all else.

[@DreamyCassie]

I am aroace but whenever I see Evie and Stephen together I think "I want what they have". They are too sweet 🥺

[@charlieross-BRM]

I can remember a day about 32 years ago when my dad came home and sat on the couch next to my mom; nothing special and not especially close. We had company. Then I see my mom discreetly reach over and put her hand in my dad's hand - and you could see her cheeks changing to a blushing pink and she had a smile and eyes like a girl with a crush. She was about 70 years old! So sweet. They had the real deal.

[@cheeesysandwich]

@@charlieross-BRM wow!

[@laughingoutloud5742]

There is nothing better on late nigh tv than seeing Evie light Stephen's face up!! I absolutely LOVE IT when she appears and I, for one, am grateful it's only a few times a year: too much of a good thing is bad for you and it would take the magic of a refreshing, adorable, funny and a relationship role model away. Happy 30th Anniversary Stephen and Evie!🎉

[@TonyHammitt]

Maximum adorableness! Happy anniversary 😊❤

[@KenRoerden]

Glad you are back. Love seeing Evie. She is a joy. Happy Anniversary!

[@jdantigua1999]

Absolutely love to see these two. They have such complicity.

[@tonyabeavers6334]

A very happy 30th Anniversary to both of you! I know how wonderful it is!!! We will be celebrating our 45th in March next year!! Lots of love!!!!

[@ericbrammer2245]

Congrats on 3 decades Together!! You are such an Awesome Couple, and the Joy you show, of just being Together, is heartwarming to see.

[@rjpittman4510]

First off, congrats. That is an amazing accomplishment. 2nd, I think it is great Evie gets a bigger applause and cheer than Stephen does. She is a national treasure.

[@cherylmartin9994]

Love it when Evie is on. They are adorable together. You can see the love🥰 more Evie please!! She's not on enough😃

[@batgurrl]

The chemistry with this couple is Magical. Evie is looking stunning. Congratulations on 30 years of Marriage. Her laughter at his jokes is so genuine ❤️💕

[@ataimd]

Aww how beautiful, I'm swooning :)

Cheers to 30 years! Just incredible! ❤❤❤

[@hollyhart6132]

Evie is DIVINE!!!! That dress is 11/10, perfection

[@Hawner]

2 videos with Evie the same day! It may be their anniversary, but it feels like my birthday! It is not said enough, that we need more time with just the two of them talking and enjoying each other. They are the goal of any marriage, and every time they are together I just can't get my eyes off of them. They are so sweet and loving! Happy 30th anniversary! May you celebrate it for many, many more years! With us if possible. ;)
