Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.

Stephen and Evie are the most ridiculously adorable couple ever.

[@npatriciacastillo6671]

Whoever is working at the Late Show, we know you can't get actors right now. We will take Evie ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!! Watching them tell stories is adorable! More Evie!!! ❤️

[@milkan.8552]

I second this. More Evie please!🙏🏾

[@GoldenEdgedGreg]

I know they won’t but stories about their first years of marriage would be amazing to listen to❤ these two got it figured out.

[@dshepherd107]

These two are clearly meant for each other. It's nice to see 😊

[@L3ONSK11]

If have time, Google when they first met. Stephen tells the story on the show and it's like 10 minutes long but so so good

[@sassafrassiest]

Most people are married. But every now and then, you come across a brilliant writer or comedian or performer who shines in their own skin and completely defies the stereotype of the lonely unhappy artist. You wonder how they mastered their craft without imploding under the pressure. And then you hear them talk about their significant other, and you just go, “Ah. Now I get it.” It’s just not often you can see so plainly what someone values most in their life. But it’s so obvious that the sun in Stephen’s world rises and sets on Evie. She must be pretty special.

[@clarasundqvist6013]

I remember he had a guest on a couple years ago now I think, and they were talking about wives and stuff, and he said "I get why old men die so quickly after their wives, because I can't imagine life without Evie in it. If she dies first, I'm gonna go a month later". I'm paraphrasing, but it's incredibly obvious just how deeply Steven loves Evie (and vice versa), it makes my heart hurt

[@NuiYabuko]

Most?

[@conj764]

​@@clarasundqvist6013I think it was his reverse interview with John Oliver, where John had first date questions and it was funny until Stephen made us all cry

[@clarasundqvist6013]

@@conj764 it was! Once I was reminded of it I couldn't leave it alone until I figured out the exact interview. So I got to rewatch it, get emotional and then go on a binge of all the times Evie has been on the show. I can only dream of finding someone to love and be loved by like they do

[@SweetFruitionFarmandEcoHousing]

@@clarasundqvist6013hint hint… southern men are way more family oriented, deeply committed, and ready to settle down and marry their best friend than northern guys. I tried for 20 years up north and finally went back to Georgia to get my southern man. Good luck! 💝

[@phil4208]

Have evie on the show more often, her smile and positivity is infectious, congratulations on 30 yrs , talking about your dream on a 1st date, your lucky evie didn't move, change her name and phone number

[@MariaBareiss]

I miss her from the lockdown times!

[@burnyizland]

I would watch a talk show with her at the helm. Could you imagine how compassionate she'd be?

[@RankinMsP]

@@MariaBareiss I was just coming to type this.

[@MandleRoss]

That looking-back laugh after he talks about their first kiss. The feels!!!

[@francielenao]

Love how he just accepts he loves her more than she does him hahaha "he's either really really interesting, or really crazy" lol

[@obviousalias9506]

Love levels go up and down in a relationship -- sometimes daily! Only worry when somebody's love level drops hard and stays there. Then it's time to really talk and/or find a good counsellor!

[@NuiYabuko]

He was joking though?

[@frappalina]

Quantifying love is a ridiculous thing 😂

[@queenjustine66]

@@NuiYabuko I think it's his way of saying he knows how fortunate he is to be with her.

[@louiebee6745]

Stephen and Evie are PERFECTION!👌👌

[@kathyannk]

What a pair of lovebirds. Whenever I see them together, which happened often during the lockdown, I’m moved by how in love they are.

[@batgurrl]

Evie and Stephen are a match made in heaven Cant wait for ‘First Draft’ holiday cards to see Evie again. Back during the pandemic and talk shows were done at home on Zoom, hearing Evie giggling in the background was often better than hearing an entire live audience laugh 💕❤️

[@hayberdasher8625]

I loved that so much! It was so warm and snuggly 🥰

Having Evie from time to time is such a treat. You can tell how much they still are young and in love inside, simultaneous to being mature and comfortable with each other. They're goals, really

[@fernandooliveiralino]

Lovely story, thank you for sharing. Stephen and Evie are role models to me when it comes to relationships. Comics are terrible liars so they're the real deal.

[@victoriasmith8570]

I truly hope that they are every bit as happy as they seem and that they smile as much ALL of the time as their story made me smile tonight. 😍🥰😍

[@hayberdasher8625]

Yes! It's so wonderful to see real true love that has lasted so long 😊

[@k.ambriz9789]

Having a love like that is winning the lottery. I feel that way about my husband.

[@milosterwheeler2520]

Sweet. It's like the beginning and end of "When Harry Met Sally".

[@MisterItchy]

Evie needs her own show and Stephen can be a guest!

[@wowenne3050]

So heartwarming to see the genuine love and friendship between Stephen and Evy. ❤

[@nannerz1994]

I love how he talks about her his face lights up. I also loved that while he was recording at home during COVID she was always right there laughing

[@lindsayhaugen7660]

Not everyone gets to marry their soulmate, but these two prove that it can happen

[@Dr_Cole]

I almost skipped this but love how endearing this was.

[@mon-6416]

I saw Stephen live a bit ago and he does a Q&A before each show. I let him know how much I love this segment and asked if he'd make more (there are a few other great ones on his channel). I'm so glad that he made another - they look like they had so much fun making it. Thanks for the laughs Evie and Stephen! It's been a pleasure getting to see more of Evie in First Drafts :)

[@contextmatters8243]

[@fugithegreat]

Mature love is the absolute best. They are totally aware of all the other person's flaws and foibles, yet they are still there for each other after all this time.

[@normalityrelief]

This makes me smile so hard … and I really need it lately

[@kenbrown2808]

we all love when Evie laughs at his jokes.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Oh you know with these two the story had to go like that .. I couldn’t possibly be any other way .. they are quite obviously still smitten with each other just like they were on that first date and it’s why we all love them so much as a couple 💙💜they represent what we all wish we had if we don’t and if we do it’s that comforting feeling it stirs up in us when we see them together . They truly are a treasure 😊

[@cheyennebrennan966]

Stephen: Can't say enough beautiful things about her. Evie: Tells a little more of the truth about him. Combined = True love for the ages. ❤❤❤

[@joanneperez4294]

The way he smiles when he thinks about the first kiss! Love it! Congratulations! 👏

[@Arion661]

These questions are so well structured and thoughtful they near manage to make me forget how badly Fallon asked questions

good lord, could they BE any more perfect?

I am reading the comments, I am seeing that every one of us adores Evie, and sees that they really love one another, I want to comment that they also actually LIKE each other! 30 years together and they still LIKE each other! That's wonderful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@debbiechang5781]

Their obvious love for each other is very sweet. I love seeing couples that have true love and respect for each other. 🌺✌️

[@Ceares]

Happy anniversary ! Such a sweet story. And it just proves that romance is in the eye of the beholder. What's romantic is what works for you, not some generic market researched ideas to sell flowers and chocolates and greeting cards.

[@carlyillingworth5329]

I loved how every time Evie spoke stephen immediately stopped and listened and never spoke over her. I love them!

[@Kcm836]

I’m dealing with marital issues right now, thank you for keeping the love alive, and hopeful.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

OMG!! These two just put a BIG smile on my face! You know its real when you sing Barrett's Privateers with Stephen Colbert! But I know the Stan Rogers song for Stephen and Evie Colbert. Forty-Five Years From Now. "You've been twice a wife and you're through with life". "AW, but honey what the Hell's it for?" "...That I want to see your smiling face forty five years from now..." Just fifteen more to go for the Colberts! And I hope they come to Sherbrooke, NS soon too!

[@jeannefoster5594]

I miss Stan sooooooo much!

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Stephen and Evie are Maritimers at heart. On another video I've seen him talk about having a boat in South Carolina and going out to fish and see what marine life is out there. Which is why I "got" the opening for the first show back from the writers strike. Sea Captain Stephen rushing back after the dolphin told him Taylor Swift and the football player were dating. And that the strike was over too. But Stephen did NOT sing Barrett's Privateers with the dolphin!! I am SO disappointed!!! SHAME!

[@StarfleetUnderground]

Yes! I'm so glad we get Stephen's version of the game they played on their podcast, Strike Force Five!

[@TheDriedfrogpills]

Shout out to whoever edited this, because the balance between the two of them is great. Also thanks to both Stephen and Evie for sharing this; you didn't have to but it gives hope that we can find the people who will stick it out with us

[@peterddb1593]

It is nice that Stephen and Evie have the opportunity to publicly celebrate this milestone anniversary. While many Hollywood couples don’t last nearly as long, they clearly and obviously still love each other. For folks like me who don’t have an Evie (or a Stephen), it gives me a glimmer of hope that maybe one day I too can be lucky enough to find that special someone I can laugh with and exchange lovingly said witticisms that come directly from the heart and not from a place where fear and jealousy live. Because that place is a lonely place.
