I hope I find someone that loves me the same way Stephen Colbert loves his wife ❤️

The one and ONLY redeeming factor of 2020’is that Stephen has been stuck at home for the entire quarantine, so he’s been forced to do his bits at his house. Which looked real hard for him, since he doesn’t have an audience laughing at his jokes.
And the thing is, when he came back to his studio, he’s not allowed to have crowds there either because of New York’s restrictions.
But without fail, every other joke, you can hear this one, single woman laughing in the background.
That’s his wife.
Covid restrictions don’t apply to his spouse, and everyone else in the studio has a job, and has to work, so she’s become the only person in the room left laughing at his jokes.
She doesn’t laugh every time. You can tell she’s not doing it on cue, because there are some bits she clearly likes better than others. Some bits where she is laughing her ass off, and some where she just chuckles.
But my god, every time she laughs, Colbert’s face lights up like the sun.
Like, even if every other person on earth was dead and gone, if he was on his deathbed and breathing his last breath, he’d still make a jokes, just to make her laugh again.
So yeah. Get you someone who loves you like Stephen Colbert loves his wife.
This one time when I was an intern at The Daily Show like a million years ago we had a night when the weather was terrible so almost no one showed up to be in the audience. Jon was trying really hard to warm up the audience because there were so few people in it and someone asked something about him being in the faculty with Elijah Wood which led to something about LoTR and Jon immediately was like “why don’t you come help answer this” to Stephen who was watching from behind the bleachers and Stephen was like HOLD MY BEER and proceeded to go off on a ten minute rant about the books vs. the movies and tbh I can’t remember it because I hadn’t read/seen LoTR and couldn’t understand 90% of what he was saying but he looked like an insanely excited small child having the absolute time of his life just getting to talk about it and meanwhile Jon was behind him acting out the stuff he was saying, like at one point he was crouching on the desk I think? Anyway that was hands down one of the best nights of my life ever.
