OUR FORMER HOME FOR A TIME BEING DURING THE PANDEMIC.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE BRIEFLY HERE DURING THE PANDEMIC.
>> WE LIKE WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH THE PLACE, MR. COLBERT.
>> Stephen: WE OCCUPIED IT. >> IT'S SO NICE TO SEE PEOPLE.
>> IT'S SO NICE. >> Stephen: WELL, LISTEN, YOU
CONGRATULATIONS, TODAY MARKS GUYS SEE PEOPLE. THE
FIRST YEAR, ONE YEAR-- >> WHEN YOUR LIFE CHANGED FOR
THE BETTER. >> Stephen: EXACTLY.
>> AS YOU MAY NOTICE, WE ARE ON THE CHAIRS, NOT THE COUCH,
BECAUSE NATE BURLESON, OUR COHOST IS RECOVERING FROM THE
CORONAVIRUS. HE'S DOING FINE.
BUT WE MISS HIM. WE'RE THINKING ABOUT HIM
TONIGHT. >> Stephen: OF ALL DAYS.
>> OF ALL DAYS, I KNOW. IT'S GOOD NEWS FOR ME.
PRIOR TO NATE'S ARRIVAL ON THE SHOW, I WAS A DE FACTO ATHLETE.
I PLAYED BASEBALL. GAYLE WOULD TURN TO ME FOR
ANALYSIS ON SPORTS. NOW WE HAVE AN N.F.L. PLAYER
WITH RANDY MOSS STORIES IN HIS BACK POCKET.
GAYLE INSIST ON CALLING US BOTH ATHLETES.
IT'S LIKE HE HAS A MICHELIN RESTAURANT AND I MAKE SPAGHETTI
AND MEAT BALLS FOR MY KIDS. >> I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN
SCHOOL. YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU PICKED
TEAMS. WE PLAYED A GAME CALLED DODGE
BALL? REMEMBER DODGE BALL.
>> Stephen: SURE, SURE. >> WE'RE DOWN TO TWO PEOPLE.
AND I'M THERE, AND SOMEBODY SAID, "WE HAD GAYLE LAST TIME,
SO IT'S YOUR TERM." >> Stephen: YOU'RE NOT
ATHLETIC. YOU SEEM FIT.
>> YEAH, RIGHT. >> Stephen: YOU DO, YOU DO.
>> THIS IS NOT A SPORTS INJURY HERE.
>> THIS IS ACHILLES TENT NIGHTIS.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW. I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I AM NOT THRIECTS, BUT I DO LIKE
SPORTS VERY MUCH. >> Stephen: EVEN THOUGH NATE
WASN'T THERE, ALL THREE OF YOU WERE HONORED TODAY, AND THIS IS
TRULY A RARE HONOR-- >> HOW DO YOU SAY THIS WITH A
STRAIGHT FACE. >> Stephen: NO, YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO SAY IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.
YOU GUYS WERE HONORED BY BEING PORTRAYED-- AND THIS IS
PORTRAYED BY AN ARTIST WHO ABSOLUTELY TRUE-- BEING MADE
YOUR PORTRAITS OUT OF LUNCHABLES.
>> LUNCHABLES, YES, SALAMI, CHEESE, CRACKERS.
>> Stephen: I HAVE TO ASK, I WISH I HAD ONE OF THESE.
CAN YOU GO BACK TO THIS, JIMMIE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT MEAT IS
PURPLE IN THE LUNCHABLES? >> PEPPERONI.
>> I THINK IT'S A HAM, ACTUALLY, GAYLE.
GENTLY AGED. >> Stephen: TONY, I'VE NEVER
SEEN A PURPLE PIG. >> YOU KNOW, I HAVE-- I HAVE
OPENED UP A LUNCH BOX FOR CHILDREN THAT HAS NOT BEEN
COLOR OF THE HAM AT THE END OF CONSUMED, AND THAT IS THE THE
DAY. >> Stephen: QUITE AN HONOR.
YOU GET THE POSTER-- THEY MADE >> STEPHEN, AT THE END-- DID THOSE
GUYS OUT OF POSTERS WE COULD TAKE WITH US IF WE WANT.
TOUCHING. YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY STEPHEN.
>> I TOOK ONE HOME, TEDDY WILL HAVE THAT TOMORROW.
>> Stephen: BRING THAT TO SCHOOL, AND ALL THE KID EAT
DADDY'S FRIEND. >> IT'S A ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY NICE-- A VERY NICE TRIBUTE, I REALLY DID.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
