I'm a lifelong avid reader. Started school age 5 in England 71 years ago, got fed up with the slow pace of learning to read at school and pretty much taught myself from sheer determination. Never ever belonged to a book club and never will 'cause I'm too old now anyway but I loathe it when somebody tells me I have to read a particular book. Taking English literature as a major at university turns you into a reading rebel. If a book is a best seller thats a kiss of death to me. I'm allergic to alcohol too, literally, so thank you oh Force Above for saving me from having to ever discuss a book with anyone ever again. Plus, our libraries have been shut down for a long time due to the pandemic. That's why I'm here posting on Stephen's videos. Why is everyone else here? 😎
I so wish that I could see the full show so that I could see a full performance from this incredible, lovely , talented beyond , young man and his band.
You can tell Stephen drinking straight from the spigot was not scripted and just an impromptu decision by him. And it was 100% the right move because it was frigging hilarious.
@@fernandoaldana2164 Not that I hold this against him. Yes, I think it was just an act, not so spontaneous as it was part of his shtik. But it's also a sign to me that he's smart. As much as he wanted to give the impression that he's just another guy with the same weaknesses as everyone else--the sort of guy you might want to have a beer with (or in his case, wine)--he also makes sure that he stays in charge, knowing the show must go on and that he is that show.
Boxed wine is closer to the real thing from the winery than the bottle stuff! Just like beer in kegs, boxed wine is never exposed to oxygen and UV radiation like they are in bottles. I work for a draught installation and maintenance company and whenever it's time for someone to buy for the crew or when we go out and drink, you only see us drink from A) Cans, or B) draft. The new guys always get flack for buying bottles!!!!
And WHY USA people put WINE in a PAPER BOX? If what the dude above said is true, wine should be in aluminium cans... Or traditional big wood barrels, put on the glassbin just days before drinking it... Like the old times... people bought in barrels...
At first I thought it was a misspelled word… then i thought you were a book nerd using obscure vocabulary i’d never heard before… then I realized I have no memory of every seeing “inadvertent” written down even though i use it 30x a day 😅
There are 12 people in my book club. Each person has a month when they pick the book and prepare a luncheon for the rest of us. I will not lie-a lot of times we're there more for the lunch than the book!
Every holiday gathering and party in my family has box wine involved in it since it came out 30+ years ago. We also purchase the wine and a new cooler with a drain and use the drain as the tap for really huge parties-Wisconsin, drinking capitol of the USA.
Guests and hosts complaining about studio temperature is a long tradition on late shows, but no one ever says what the temperature actually is and why it has to be that low.
Like Stephen said, Jon is a Big Deal, so he totally warrants the space heater Stephen Colbert! I completely agree and I'm a 69yr yg lesbian. Yummy yummy, like the candy man
The sunglasses thing is Real but it's not a one way street for all. In my teens I tried blue shades because I was getting Really into (and to this day Stayed into) Elvis Costello but that tint started to feel depressing and it masked too much. I tried orange but it was like giving yourself color blindness. I tried yellow because I love the anime Trigun and wanted that Vash look, and unsurprisingly it Did improve my disposition a bit, but they were hard to find as a poor kid in 2000. Fast forward several years and I have been wearing rose-tinted or rose and yellow ever since, as they dampen my aversion to white light just enough without impairing visibility. Gotta find your fit, I suppose.
I prefer copper colored lenses because that color provides such incredible clarity and color - seriously, and that makes me feel like I can see things other people cannot. And….this….is….totally true.
What Stephen has mistaken for "hints of box is obviously hints of Mylar. If the wine was stored directly in the box, that would be one soggy mess. kind of like Stephen after finishing the entire box of wine at his one man book club.
where do I get one of those jackets? Yeah I know - it's gunna be Summer here soon again in Australia, but I've recently signed up again as an IT contractor. I'll need something to thaw out my cold, dead heart as I ride between jobs.
I wonder if Stephen has read "THE NATURE OF MIDDLE EARTH" -- which might just be the last book of materials written by Tolkien that'll ever be published. I got it, read it, and learned things I didn't previously know about his mythos. Colbert's a Tolkien nerd, so I'm sure he'd dig it -- though he's probably on a DUNE kick right now, cuz of the new movie.
@@michaelschweigart3517 The last time I heard him say that was before this book was published. It's actually one of maybe 2 books I haven't read by Tolkien myself.
I hope you guys give John Baptiste comedy classes with his spark of joy and with awesome jokes, I think it'll be a great touch to collaborate with Stephen Colbert
I love a good "Cardbordeaux" too.
What about when the spout is faulty so you pull the corner of the bag out and poke a hole in it and milk it like a square wine cow?
Ah yes book clubs, because when I drink alone in the day it's called "depression" and I "should seek help".
However when Gregory is there and he rambles on about some trip to Italy, now I'm "cultured". lol
Drinking alone is called depression??.......nah, you're just an acolyte of George Thorogood.
Totally
Sounds more like drinking away the boredom.
Stephen DEEPLY inhales the wine while swirling it with his hand
"Mmmm I'm getting notes of BOX"
I died.
*"Château Corrugé: a deep and fruity nose, with notes of blackberry, and a subtle wood-pulp finish..."*
I laughed so hard i woke myself up
Stephen missed the tasting notes of Desperation, Disappointment, and Mylar! LOL
John is a ray of sunshine and a exceptional human being.🤗❤
I don't know who JOHN is but yes, JON is all those things you said. ;)
"Not sure how to pronounce that.."
Great way to throw a wrench in any conversation, honestly.
John, wakes up: "I feel blessed."
Me, wakes up: "O dear lord, not again."
Lordy, ain't it the truth!
I feel you.
Me: oh damn, I’m still here.
Lol 😂
John seems like one of the most mellow people on the planet, intelligent and talented
Excellent Dad/Granddad cardigan, sir.

I'm not as think as you drunkle peep I am...
The sunglasses conversation is a souvenir for the audience of John's trip 🥳 Thanks for sharing the vibe, sir!
I swear to god, Stephen comes up with any excuse to drink on air XD
Which I love! I'll drink to that!
@@sannahayes832 Same!🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃
I would too. The man knows how to take advantage of this position.
Probably off-air, too.
Well, he takes minuscule sips, anyway. Maybe twice a month.

It's not "Box Wine" it is the Goon Bag, once you drink the whole bag on your own you can blow it up and you have a pillow for your Booze Nap.
🤣😆🇦🇺
Genius!
WOW
If Glen isn't an Aussie then he has been there ... also known as ' the Dapto briefcase ...'
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺…🙃🙃🙃🙃
I so wish that I could see the full show so that I could see a full performance from this incredible, lovely , talented beyond , young man and his band.
I’m getting notes of box 😂
I got hints of cardboard with a plastic spigot finish
"Why does Jon have a space heater and I don't?"...because Oscar trumps Emmy.
And fingers trump mouth.
You can tell Stephen drinking straight from the spigot was not scripted and just an impromptu decision by him. And it was 100% the right move because it was frigging hilarious.
And I bet he actually drank very little. Did you notice what he did with the glass at the end?
@@Primitarian Yeah you're right,he does drink but when it's on tv it's always very little almost none

Drinking straight from the cask is the most Australian thing Stephen's ever done.
I think he held it up to his mouth but didn't drink anything
3:55: "That is NOT a prop!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
(Heh ... How did he make it through the interview without drunkenly losing his shirt? 🤣)
You better bring enough "Box Wine" for all the book club members & enough to last the hour!🤣🤣🤣
At least enough for all to partake when the need to imbibe of the delicious juices from the vine.
Boxed wine is closer to the real thing from the winery than the bottle stuff! Just like beer in kegs, boxed wine is never exposed to oxygen and UV radiation like they are in bottles.

It’s called Cardonnay by the glutterati in Australia.
Also Chateau Cardboard🤪

Stephen and his inadvertent homage to Mister Rogers. 😉💜📚

Stephen should take a page from Seth and wear these sweaters more often.
@@jerkfudgewater147 Yeah it's the wrong word to use too
Inadvertent...or was it a stealthy little Easter egg to make your subconscious feel more cozy??? 🤔
Are you sure it wasn't just a little bit advertent?
Suburban discomfort 😂😂😂💗 appreciate you Stephen xo
@2:45 STEPHEN: When the railroad goes underground … wow … what a payoff
JON: [sheepishly] I don’t know if that’s …
It's even funnier because the Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead actually had an underground railroad in it
The first rule of book club, is that no one talks about book club.
Well, no one talks about the book at book club, anyway.
What happens at book club stays at book club.
I want to see Stephen do a show while he's absolutely *plastered.*
Give him that box of wine 2 hours before the show starts next time.
I'd hate to break the i m m e r s i o n but it's probably not real wine.
Wait...he's not drunk?!?
I think we all want that haha

ha ha... wine in a box is an australian invention :-) nice to see that US has embraced that too :-) cheers :-)

stealing the term “Suburban discomfort” for conversational use thanks
Guests and hosts complaining about studio temperature is a long tradition on late shows, but no one ever says what the temperature actually is and why it has to be that low.
Better for the camera equipment? Otherwise the lights make it really hot.
Box wine is an Australian invention. 🇦🇺🍷 You're welcome rest of the world. 🌏
Love This show, but I must say, John Batiste is one fine looking human being 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤪
He is joy personified!
Agree! One handsome, stylish man
Like Stephen said, Jon is a Big Deal, so he totally warrants the space heater Stephen Colbert! I completely agree and I'm a 69yr yg lesbian. Yummy yummy, like the candy man

John is a gift to mankind.

Cask wine! The box of goodness. No glass shortage or cork price hike can affect this silver bag of goonness.
It's all good until you realize it's Amontillado and... hey, what's with all the bricks and where's the rest of book club?
@@wildblue0 Thumbs up for a Poe allusion! Nice! :)
Ok, I read a book this summer…..and doesn’t Jon Batiste look amazing in that outfit??!! 😃
I couldn't hear Jon's piano over the VOLUME OF HIS OUTFIT! Too loud! Heyy-yo! Love ya Jon!
John B! Cool as hell!!😎😎😄
Stephen chugging that box of wine the way I chug a box of coffee.
Thanks Stephen & Jon!
I love John so much he encapsulates a beautiful soul great accompaniment to Stephen.
Like George Thorogood, I read alone.
John Batiste and stay human omg i love em

What a polarizing comment.
Something something rose-tinted glasses as a euphemism for nostalgia. 👍
@@sophistichistory4645 LOL 😁
Just be careful of any seemingly white flags.
Thank you! Enjoy your sho and love reading.
This is just a more sophisticated Cliffsnotes.
No wonder Stephen was looking a little waylaid when he talking with Issa.
That man was plastered!
I love Jon!

Not what he meant, but...sooo fitting.
Box wine.
You're welcome, America!
Using a space heater right underneath a piano has to be HORRIBLE for it...
The space heater will be fine
It's electric
Nah
If it was a camping fire, yes.
I'm sure they have a humidifier under there too
Yep, the alcohol is kicking in. :D
LOL! "That's today?" is how I start every day!
“That is not a prop” lol
Jon’s smile lights up the room!
I want a compilation of Stephen drinking on the air. What's TH-cam's max video length? 10 hrs? I guess it could be a multi-parter.
Wait.. I can read those background zoom meeting props? What will they think of next!
"So, you were to Paris?"
"Yeah!"
"So... how was Amsterdam?"
Spot on
Loved how Jon continued playing Top of my head the whole segment.
Thanks for the
laughs before work this morning.

It’s a joke not an essay just roll with it.
“Notes of box.” “Box” is a euphemism. LOL!
Whoa whoa, I haven't seen the clip yet. What kind of wine is that? Already thumbs up.
Excellent! Need MORE tips for book club!
I can't help it, I couldn't finish. The sound he makes when he drinks disturbs me deeply, and I don't know why. ...and he does it often.
Thanks for the Cliff's Notes.
John is a true treasure. The very epicentre of art, beauty and optimism. Plays good pianna too.
LEGEND
It would help if book clubs stuck to best sellers within a certain genre, instead of the random nonsense they keep on picking.
"But they call it futbol" 😅🤣❣
Read the books people. Good reading.
Finally Stephen! Some useful advice for the masses. Thanks Boomer

He likely has it memorized.
One time Stephen said that he read literally *everything* by Tolkien
Yeah, I don’t think there’s any chance that he hasn’t read it multiple times. Like, more than 8.
@@michaelschweigart3517
The last time I heard him say that was before this book was published. It's actually one of maybe 2 books I haven't read by Tolkien myself.

I don't think?
"Suburban Discomfort" is both a great band name AND a general descriptor for 2021.
Or a Southern Comfort off-brand for hipsters.
It's one thing to read a book, it's quiet an otter to reed in any weigh in tocks he-cat head.
Do more of these ! Lol
I enjoyed the pandemic days when Colbert & Batiste bantered.
You're good Bud, you're good. Thank you.
Ahhh, the art of distraction as a book club strategy. Genius :-)
SLAP THE BAG!
Mmmmm, i'm picking up notes🍷...of box!!! 🤣😅😀😂
A legit reason to join a book club 🤣🤣
That's a Mr Roger's sweater!🤣🤣
top 5 at least
This might work!🤣🤣
I live for Jon Batiste.
I love this segment. I want more of this like 'Meanwhile'. Love 💗 from India 🇮🇳
Lmao Jean looks fresh with those glasses!
John is smoking that fire
Saw the title and clicked likes right away 🤣
Maybe Jon had his Issa Rae-Bans on? 😂
Someone extract Jon Batiste DNA and study it. I'm pretty sure you'll cure most things with a little bit of that jazzy magic :)
