Stephen Colbert

“I want to say thanks to everybody in here and to everybody watching from home,” Stephen Colbert said at the top of Tuesday night’s Late Show, before noting “which might be just my wife Evie. Because everybody else is probably watching ABC. “

“I want to toss a bouquet of admiration to the other nominees in our category, my dear friends, Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel,” Colbert said as he returned to The Late Show Tuesday night. “These two fellas, old friends, [are] unbelievably talented… just two princes.”
