In this special Mother's Day episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert is joined by his wife, Evie McGee Colbert, for the final installment of their popular segment, "First Drafts." Throughout the video (0:32 - 8:45), the couple humorously contrasts standard, sentimental Mother's Day card greetings with their cynical and absurd "first draft" versions.
Key Highlights:
- Humorous Comparisons: Stephen and Evie present several cards, including themes about the bond between mother and child (2:25), expressions of love (4:37), the value of a mother's hug (7:14), and a card listing a mother's various roles (8:12).
- Behind the Scenes: The segment serves as a lighthearted tribute to their collaborative history, with the couple reminiscing about their years of doing the bit together (1:51) and discussing potential "ground rules" for their time together outside of work (3:15).
- Personal Anecdotes: The discussion includes personal stories, such as the Don Rickles anecdote regarding their time at the Emmys (5:38) and discussions on their family traditions like brunch and scones (1:29).
- A Fond Farewell: The segment concludes with a heartwarming acknowledgment of the bond between the couple and their gratitude toward the show's staff, marking a sentimental end to their six-year tradition of the "First Drafts" segment (7:50 - 8:50).
