On a recent episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” special guest Evie Colbert joined her husband in a segment called “First Drafts” to celebrate Thanksgiving 2024. The couple took a humorous look at some not-so-great first drafts of Thanksgiving cards, providing entertainment and laughs for the audience.
As Stephen introduced Evie to the stage, the audience erupted in applause, showing their excitement for her appearance. The couple exchanged warm greetings, expressing their happiness on this holiday occasion. Evie looked stunning as Stephen complimented her appearance and handed her a little pumpkin pie as a Thanksgiving treat.
The couple then engaged in a conversation about their Thanksgiving plans. They revealed that they would be hosting 20 people for the holiday feast. Stephen, being the funny man that he is, couldn’t resist making a joke about cousin Dale, who apparently brought weed to the gathering in the past. It seems like cousin Dale might have a bit of a problem.
Next, they delved into their Thanksgiving card segment, where they compared the actual cards one might buy to the humorous first drafts that didn’t make the cut. Stephen humorously pointed out the flaws in the first drafts, providing commentary and making jokes about each one. Their banter kept the audience entertained throughout.
The couple also took the opportunity to promote their cookbook, sharing that their sweet potato liquor and wild rice recipes were Thanksgiving favorites. They also mentioned their tradition of singing “Over the River and Through the Woods” and playing charades during Thanksgiving. Stephen even jokingly claimed that the show was “partially sponsored by the national charades council.”
As the segment came to an end, Stephen and Evie thanked the audience for tuning in and hinted at a new segment where they would answer fan mail. They encouraged viewers to submit their questions, promising to read and answer them on air.
This Thanksgiving-themed episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” showcased the couple’s chemistry and comedic talents as they shared funny anecdotes and amusing first drafts of Thanksgiving cards. With Evie’s appearance, the segment became even more special and added to the festive atmosphere of the show. The couple’s genuine love and gratitude were palpable throughout the episode, making it a delightful and entertaining experience for viewers.
So, as Thanksgiving approaches, let’s all take a moment to appreciate good food, football, and of course, that one family member who decides to go vegan out of the blue. After all, Thanksgiving is a time for laughter, gratitude, and a little bit of silliness.
