5:15 “I’ve forgiven you.” “That’s recent” 😂 Stephen crushing on his wife is beyond adorable

they are in front of cameras at his job and writers work for them for a reason.... sure pure laughter

[@Rozumarix]

In my country, women are trained to laugh at men's jokes and give nods of approval with admiration in our eyes. These gestures help us not to get beaten afterwards. I'm sure American women have these skills also. Including Evie.

Evie and Stephen are a shining example of a loving couple❤️Reminds me of Covid days when it was Stephen at his desk and Evie giggling off on the side. Even better than an entire audience laughing

[@maloudelosreyes661]

Yes!! I do remember that!! They seemed to be having such a great time even without the fancy studio/audience/trappings etc....... In hindsight.. Feeling blessed to have had those simple joyfilled moments too (with a loved one)..........

That was when we fell in love with Evie ....her giggle was infectious!

[@natalievandenberg3845]

Cute couple of kids

[@lillianward2810]

That was my favorite part about his show during COVID. Instead of trying to get a whole studio to laugh, all he wanted was to make Evie laugh.

Oh I lovedddd those!

[@DeathDad]

With all due respect, Evie is the one who really got us all through COVID…because she kept Stephen going for us. Xoxo and Happy valentines 💘 month.

My wife and I have been together for over 18 years and we still have a great relationship. We still find out new things about each other like for instance, I haven’t yet told her my middle name. I’ll tell her in year 20. It keeps it fun and interesting.

[@carolynworthington8996]

So happy Evie is a permanent fixture for First Drafts. 🤗💖

[@badbiker666]

My wife wanted to get married three weeks after we met. I thought that was too quick, so I put her off for a while before I asked her. "A while" turned into three years. By that time, we were living 1000 miles apart (due to my job) and were talking on the phone every Saturday while I did my laundry. So, I called her, as usual, on that Saturday from the laundromat pay phone (still had them in those days) and asked her, "Do you remember, three years ago, you said you wanted to get married?" She said, "Yes." "Do you still want to?" "I guess so." To which I said, "All right then." It took her a minute to understand that I had just proposed. "What? So, are we engaged?" I said 'Yes" and 'Is that all right' and she said 'Yes!" That was 37 years, two kids, and five grandchildren ago.

[@AnimefortheLazyman]

Great story!

[@rolandosarabia810]

I always love Evie's appearances!

[@likeagdphoenix]

I remember when they did the switched interviews awhile back, John Oliver was asking "first date" questions. He asked him if he had some idea of how he'd die and he said Evie would go first and he'd go soon after from the loneliness. So sweet. I don't think for a second the affection they show here is made up.

[@AnimefortheLazyman]

It’s not. It’s obviously genuine. And I feel like a lot of what she says isn’t even rehearsed haha. And only a wife can get away with that on a show this big
