Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.
Stephen on his wife: "you can read by the light of her". That is the most adorable thing I've ever heard.
Radioactive, sadly.
@@RealBradMiller wow, what does that even mean? Is that meant to be funny?
She's such a bright spirit - it's a compliment of the highest sort. It's not your fault for but getting it, rarely are people that complimentary or poetic about it. Lol. @@JamesFaction
🎉🎉
Would make a great song title!!
" I love my family." and " you can read by her light." were heart warming moments. Happy pride.
You can tell when people are happy. They celebrate others.
Doesn't matter how much you love them if you let other people raise them. The two boys are seven. She doesn't talk to them. If she did, they would know.
@@horrido666 And you needed to write that, because? You don't know their private life, so kindly shut up.
Agreed! Happy Pride! 🥰🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💕
@@horrido666dude she's also a comedian. most of their stories are loaded with hyperbole and exaggeration
I love that Tig & Stephen are genuinely good enough friends to have their own "handshake"
That's kindaTig's thing. She's kisses her own hand.
Super cute!
@@heatherkaye8653 They are, indeed, good friends though. They have just clicked from the beginning...Stephen's said as much...and they just understand each other's humor. It's always a really great chat. If I see that Tig will be a guest, I never miss the show. Or, the video on TH-cam.
@@dod2304 stephen was recently in Tig's newest podcast (Handsome) too. You should give it a listen. Im pretty sure they are all on TH-cam too.
yeah almost every time she is on the show 🥹 it’s so cute
It just demonstrates that kids don’t have a prejudice against gays, hatred of others is something that is taught. It also demonstrates that teaching kids about different families (a mom and a dad, two moms, two dads, single mom, single dad) will not cause them to be anymore than a kid.
🎯💛💙💛
Hate is taught, it is not inherited.
Yes! And obviously none of their peers in school have taunted or bullied them. it's clearly a great atmosphere at that school. Love it.
Doesn't it make you wonder what those kids thought "gay" was?
How did we get from 'prejudice' to 'hatred" here?
""you can read by the light of her," if someone said that about me I would swoon.
Yeah, that was a beautiful line about his Evie. AND it is believable because we’ve all seen her shine.
I read you by light.
Ikr?! ☺️🫠
No kidding! I'd be totally theirs. Well, until it happens, it's something to aspire to.
Tig is absolutely one of my favorite comedians of all time. She is brash, bold, courageous, smart, kind, and absolutely inoffensive. She is 100% the real deal.
You forgot Action-Hero Heartthrob
@@christophervollick4634 Word.
Her series on Prime is really good!
Amen!!
I know exactly what she means with the quiet shuffling part, it's prevelant in my family. It's like we're a bunch of the worst ninjas.
walkin' around accidentally scaring each other....so adorable!....🥰
I'm a very quiet walker.
I get in trouble all the time at work by different people cause I apparently walk too quietly and startle them. I do have quiet footsteps, but I am fat and I swear you can hear my thighs rub together when I walk. 😅 so I just tell them it's not that I'm too quiet, it's that they need their hearing checked. 😂
I understand the story about her son not knowing that his moms were gay. When I was growing up I heard all the schoolyard slurs, but never really understood them. Even when I was 12 and my older brother said he was gay l didn’t understand. He explained that he loved men. I understood what love was, but the sexual aspect of love wasn’t yet on my radar. So, yeah, an eight year old being a bit confused? I understand that. ❤
I hope Tig compares this interview to ANY interview from 5 years ago or longer.
She smiled, and was just joyful through the entire interview. It's so great to see Tig so utterly happy. She deserves it.
I was thinking the same thing. Tig has been through so much over the years, it’s heartwarming to see her so happy now.
I love your son's perspective. It is a testament to your parenting. Love is love. Family comes in different shapes and sizes. To him, it just is. And it is beautiful.
Always a delight when Tig is on!
She is hilarious! Great energy and amazing timing.
Yep, she's always had that energy since she started in stand up--she's so personable. I really liked her show One Mississippi too.
So nice two talented people in loving relationships. When your child says I love my family you are doing something right.
Stephen about his lovely wife Evie: "You can read by the light of her!" 😍
This is vaguely reminiscent of it suddenly dawning on my French daughter when she was about 11 years old that I have an English accent when I speak French. The look on her face when she realized it was something that will remain with me for the rest of my life. I think our kids just think of us as “their beloved people” and pay zero attention to labels until society conditions them to see differently.
Stephen, "you can read by the light of her" has to be one if the most beautiful things a man has ever said about the woman he loves.
3:36 lmao “they’re like you feed us and that’s wonderful, they’re not like that’s so gay of you” 😂
😂😂😂she is amazing❤❤🫶🏽
She is always so charming and hilarious
"you can read by the light of her" awwwww, Stephen!!!
"kiss your own hand* shake and bow is a new thing I have learned today
I hadn’t noticed that! 😂 They’re silly ❤
It's Stephen's and Tig's special handshake. ❤💕
8:39 “Is that on the card?” “No, but that’s okay you can still tell ‘em.” 😂
I genuinely love these two together. I could watch them talk to each other for hours.
Tig!!! Cheeks hurt from so much smiling!
I was 10 when it dawned on me that my dad was gay. My parents split when i was like 2 I had plenty of time to figure it out. Lmao. He passed a few years ago. I loved him very much. Still do.
sorry to hear that. lost my mum last year. we're lucky to have had them in our lives. i hope he found happiness in his life post-marriage.
❤
The chemistry between these two is palpable. Lol
I love Tig Notaro! I love that she and her wife have made her boys' lives so normal that they didn't even know they were gay. Her wife getting startled is me with my spouse.
I love Tig Notaro! Her jokes in her stand-up comedy are always top tier for me!
There's no prejudice in a family of no prejudice. They didn't think you were "what? the butler"?, hahaha. They just think you are ...Mom. And obviously a great one. Happy pride! To all y'all. LOVES! Top fave (and yes, sexy) comedian :-)
Their family is prejudiced against dairy. Dem vegaaans *shakes fist
My hope is in the future all kids don't know what being gay is, because thats beautiful her son just saw 2 loving parents regardless of anything else society has tried to put out there. I hope some of my LBGTQ friends have a moment like this, it's really precious and I can see her glowing while talking about how proud she is about her son.
Love Tig, I wish her and her family nothing but the best.
Tig Notaro, iconic in every way!
What a great compliment. "You can read by the light of her".
It’s beautiful that the kids didn’t have a ‘label’ for their parents beyond ‘Mom’ or ‘Family’. This how the world was meant to be.
Tig Notaro also has that light you can read by. When she smiles, it’s just a thing of beauty ~ like her very essence radiates out. A great combo with that wit and intelligence!
What a heartwarming, gorgeously funny exchange between two very lovely people who have the utmost respect for one another. I could watch this 100 times.
Stephen, longer interviews with Tig please 🙏
Loved the end... when Tig went to kiss Colbert's extenxed hand for a handshake.
And SC kissed back
So genuine.
She kissed her OWN hand. And Colbert kissed his own. It’s a a schtick. Not meant to be some heartfelt gesture.
Always such a funny interview with Tiggy
Tig Notaro is absolutely fantastic! And I love what Stephen said about his wife, "You can read by the light of her." Wonderful!
I like that she is quiet when she walks. This speaks to many levels of consideration. And to change something like the way you enter or “appear” or pre appear makes me think that she is a great person who loves her spouse very very much. I’m a silent walker and have had the same sitch. Then flip it. It doesn’t go over quite as smooth whenever I tell my wife she is too loud. The compromise seems to be a little one way. Being frightened by a silent appearance and frightened by non stop noise is not a topic of discussion at our house. Or my house would be out back.
So basically, Tig had to come out to her kids 😂
At some point, we all as parents have to explain how it works to them, it helps them understand how love for one another works whether is gay or straight or any denomination of couple of parents ....and bees and honey or something etc etc .😅
Thank you for reminding me of the good people in our world. You two are light-beings.
I love the fact that the kids did not know their parents were 'gay' ... they simply knew that they were loved and a family. THAT is what is is ALL about! 'Love IS Love'!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
That was so funny. I love Tig! 🌈💖
Tig Notaro is one of my favourite persons ever! She is so naturally funny!
This is my new favourite interview ever!
I loved this, everything about it! Well, except for how short it was.
I could have watched an entire episode of Stephen and Tig chatting away in their comfortable but hilarious chemistry.
They come across as great friends who both very much respect each other.
Tig is just so naturally funny. I love her. Love them both.
I have to say, I love a bit of Tig. I only came across her through her role in Star Trek Discovery, but then went back and watched some of her comedy acts and other performances and she is just wonderful.
She made Discovery watchable for me
Same here.
I haven't watched this season yet. Does she make an appearance?
Genuinely one of my favorite characters in Discovery. I skipped over this interview at first, till I realized it was her. Came back to look for it. :)
I love that Stephen and Tig are genuine friends. We need both of them to do a podcast or special or something.
I f’n love Tig… SO much!
I enjoy Tig Notaro mostly when shes acting, where her quirky personality shines through. She reminds me of Alice from the Brady Bunch, funny and quirky in her own way, enjoyable to watch and very likable/relatable.
"You can read by the light of her" is the most beautiful thing I've ever had a man say about his wife ❤
Love when Tig is on ... And not only was she an action hero in a movie, she is also the chief engineer of Discovery in Star Trek ... and she is kick-ass and awesome in that role too
I adore how they actually kissed their own hands. Such a sign of respect.
Awesome woman and mumna. Story so heartwarming, and as always, she's delightful to see.
Tig Notaro is a treasure.
Omgggg that part about her being a quiet Walker scaring her wife is literally me with my bf lol. He always scares the heck out of me
I’m the silent apparition in our home.
My partner is often startled by my “sudden” appearances.
Have always loved Tig, bless her family..Happy Pride EVERY DAY ❤🏳️🌈
I grew up with half cousins and even though I knew I had an extra set of grandparents and a different last name. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize we were half cousins and that was the case for a few of us. Her story reminded me how adorably oblivious kids are about their family. That family is family no matter how it originated or the circumstances of how we got there.
She's very naturally funny. I like her alot.
I so enjoy her , and I love the handsome podcast too!! Fun interview ❤
I agree. I added "Handsome" to my podcast rotation a month or two ago after all three co-hosts were guest contestants on "After Midnight With Taylor Tomlinson." It's a great podcast.
Reminds me of my son, when he was about five. We went to visit my Dad and his hubby, we lived across the country, so we didn’t see my family often. We were sitting at the table, and asked “So who IS Granddad Jeffrey?” “That’s Grandad’s husband.” “WHAT!?! They’re married!?!”. Silence falls across the table, I say “Yeah, they’re married. I was at their wedding.” My son’s response, “Grandad isn’t married to Grandma!?!”. 😂😂
Tig! She is the absolute best!
I love her. Tig is such a wonderful person and comedian
I never heard of Tig. Yes, I live under a rock.
When Stephen Colbert introduces me to someone I trust their value, and I’m still right. What a delight!
You should definitely watch her stand up and One Mississippi. Love her so much.
@@GenRN I will!
@singingwind977 She and I must be living under neighboring rocks. I don’t know from pop culture either.
I only knew of her because of Star Trek, but now she's one of my favs.
@AlvarezGuillermo-me Hi, back! One thing about living under a rock is that the weather’s pretty consistent. Darkish.
"You can read by the light of her" I don't think I've ever heard anything more beautiful
Masterful use of subtle humor from both. This was an enjoyable interview.
Children are pure love, they don’t know labels or prejudice unless they are taught them.
Not knowing that their parents is OK. When I was that age, I didn't know my parents were straight. They just see their parents as normal.
Exactly!
I love Commander Jett Reno on Discovery. Now I love Tig Notaro in real life.
What was the one where you were the helicopter pilot? Love you!!! Sitting here laughing my ass off…
Is called LOVE ! We know no different ?
Individually, these two are so brilliant. Together, they are a supernova of delight!
That is some beautiful friendship chemistry
Tig has the perfect wonderfully dry humor when she tells stories. Happy Pride Month to her family
Why only 9 minutes? Tig should have at least half an hour
Her promotion company, that promotes her show special , only paid for this slot . That's how this works ✌🏼
She was probably doing the rounds of a lot of promotion, back to back.
She needs her own show
@@fortablet2933 she had a show called One Mississippi, it's weird
Loved her in Star Trek!!
The whole Star Trek cast is awesome!
Tig is one of the funniest comedians right now. I wish she toured more so I could see her live but I respect how much she is like "nah, I'd rather spend time with my family."
"That's so 🌈 of You." 😂
I love her! Her Star Trek role is golden in every scene. I have to admit, Tig and Stephen play off each other very well. Loved the interview!
Super surprised there was no plug for final season of Disco, now on P+!
She's so effortlessly cool lol. I can't explain it.
I love both Tig Notaro and Stephen Colbert. What a great interview.
Tig is so genuinely funny and makes me feel good. I saw her show last year and it was one of the silliest nights of comedy I've ever experienced.
I just love Tig!! ❤
This is the experience of raising kids without labeling people.
I remember dad coming out to me when i was maybe 10. It was never a consideration of mine to picture him in any way other than dad. Sounds stupid but that was the process of thought as a kid 🤷♂️
clean thinking the world is dirty
Love Tig! Always happy to see her. Steven and her together is always a good time. :)
Tig has a wonderful sense of humour.
Thank you for everything you are Tig! 😍
If heaven is real, it's me as a fly on the wall listening to a David Sedaris and Tig Nataro conversation.
Love Tig
Thank you for this conversation. Thank you for being yourself and every laugh😂😂❤ you just made my morning
How does Pride Month not have its own tree, or eggs to hide, or something. It could lean right into that, man.
Please, no eggs, that means torture for chickens. Maybe a tree or a pole like for Festivus--a rainbow pole?
Haven't you seen every other holiday celebration already?
They're all just in the closet.
Oh my goodness, how sweet was the story about teaching her son what "gay" is. I just love the innocence and thought-provokingness of it all. Tig Nitaro, you're fabulous.
Never heard of her before - what a delightful and entertaining woman. 😊
7:28 Ugghhhh... that's just ❤
They don't know because it's not that important. Their parents love each other, and that's what's important.
😂 she’s so funny. Great segment.
"You can read by her light." Okay Stephen, you're screwing me up. I am single and you keep raising the bar for what an amazing partner needs to be. I would completely and totally 100% melt if someone said that about me.
Awesome true interview
Sometimes if I’m having a bad day I think about her bit about being in the car and seeing Santa Claus 🎅🏽. 😂😂😂😂😂
a good person is the description I treasure.
Vote,🔵☮️
Thank you Tig....
I started recognizing "famous" people because of her old show.
Mr. Cold Bear:
I wrote a song.
Looking for a singer.
This song uses Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (Hipgnosis music)
"CONSTITUTION"
I heard there "were" some sacred words.
That Thomas "penned" that freed the world.
But you don't really care for words do ya...
Well it goes like this the First the Fifth, THE minor fails and THE major wins
Baffled men composing
Con..chorus
Our faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw "our" flag waving from the roof
Her beauty in dawns early light overthrew ya..
We fought for freedoms in an uncivil war
We freed the slaves
But never "broke their" chains
And from his pen he DREW the constitution..
chorus..
It has "been" strong thru two WWs
It has seen the freeing of those enslaved.
It has kept us safe through battle and strife
As if it had its very own life...
Chorus....
Maybe there is a God above
*But all I ever learned from love was HOW TO BE OF SERVICE TO THOSE WHO NEED YA..
It is not a cry you hear at night
This song's for those who fought and died
So we don't end with a cold and broken Constitution...
chorus...
