I don't mind the questionnaire or the set so much. What I really hate is his word salad that goes on and on as an intro to Quarantine/Meanwhile. I usually mute that part. Gah!

Agree times ten! Those intros have really gotten old.

I fast forward through the commercial and chat with Jon and don't stop until I see the Quarantinewhile graphic.

Aww. I usually manage to stay awake for the chat with Jon if nothing else --even if Stephen sometimes makes me cringe a bit.
I might have to make an avatar of Jon Batiste captioned: My Guru.

I like the questionnaire so far, but find some of the questions unnecessary, like "Apples or Oranges?" or "What number am I thinking of?" - sine the answer is always obviously No.

But I don't miss Big Furry Hat, or Midnight Confessions segments, I never found those funny TBH. Has there been any appearance by God in the last year? I kind of liked those occasionally, especially when he commented on some religious fanatics.

Am I weird that I noticed that in the last Questionnaire (Questionnairet?) show, the multiple  "guess which number" guesses were all divisible by 7?  Don't answer that.

I agree with Michelle that chocolate ice cream is vastly superior to vanilla. 

I am sitting here crunching my way through cut cantaloupe, and thinking that I agree with her about the uselessness of this and honeydew on a platter (love melons in season!).

I would agree with that as a child. But, as an adult, I found myself drawn more towards vanilla ice cream (no disrespect to the former First Lady!)

he was just talking about needing clearance from the mayor (and possibly governor) before going back into the theater.  since fallon and myers are already back in their studios (with only crews and band)  i assume the show is waiting until they can bring the audience back.

Jimmy has a limited studio audience. Seth doesn’t. But, yeah. NY is set to fully reopen at the beginning of July, so they should probably have a full audience by the end of the summer.

Damn, that clip of Tim Ryan. Standing ovation. 

What a bizarre story about that image of that giant man over in England. I love Stephen being unable to keep a straight face during that :p. 

As for the cicada story, all I can say is, there goes my appetite for the night now, thanks.

Yup, good on Tim Ryan from my very own Ohio. That was great.

That giant story was indeed bizarre, but Evie's uncontrollable giggling made me laugh. She really does add so much to Stephen's current format.

I really did not need to know all that about cicadas, thank you very much. Gross!! 😝

Okay, the stuff with John Krasinski was just solid gold, all the way through. And Evie certainly didn't ruin it for me, personally.  It just felt homey and intimate and hilarious all the way through.  In fact, it actually made me wish Emily Blunt had been there too, with Evie as well, like a slightly weird on-camera version of a couples date.

She may just be a naturally giggly sort, too :D. I know it doesn't take much to get me laughing at stuff a lot of the time. And Stephen clearly enjoys being able to make her laugh, so...:).

I think "Brood X" is "Brood Ten" (not "Brood Ex").

Also, what does Stephen have against meatball subs? 

Is he a neat freak?  I defy anyone to eat any halfway decent meatball sub and not get messy.

I know when they cut to commercial after the monologue, they show that the guest has been listening in on Zoom the whole time. And I think in the old days they played the stage camera on a tv in the green room. But it was so funny having John Krasinski right there the whole time! Especially Evie insisting on keeping “the first chair” and Stephen playing to his audience. 😄

I don't care if the studio audience never comes back. I really appreciate the intimate goofiness in the supply closet.

I hate that they made me consider seeing that movie. It is 100% the kind of movie I have no interest in and would not enjoy. I know this. I have seen other movies in the genre and not enjoyed any of them even a tiny bit. But they were selling it really hard in a way that made me think maybe I should try it. Kudos to them for the sell. But no, I'm not going to put myself through it. I wish them all the success in the world, though!

I've known people like Evie, who laugh at anything that's the slightest bit amusing. It doesn't bother me, it doesn't appear to be a put-on in her case, I think she genuinely finds her husband amusing. Even after all these years! It's kind of sweet 😪

Agreed. I know Stephen can't wait to be in front of a live audience again, but I'm going to find it to be quite a readjustment. I really like how the show has settled in and adapted to the new conditions. I feel the same way about Trevor Noah and The Daily Show. I'm apprehensive about the two guys returning to their respective studios, to say the least...

I know what you mean. I've been assuming she pops an edible for the show.

starting to think i was the only one. thanks for saying what i’ve been thinking. 

for those who would be happy for the show to remain in that cramped broom closet: i CANNOT wait for them to get back in the theater — with an audience — and that gorgeous ceiling!

One thing I like about the pandemic protocols is that all the shows now are able to get guests without them having to waste a day on travel. I think it makes for a bigger pool of people to choose from, and enables them also to get people on short notice at times.

I think Stephen has really loosened up since they moved from home to the storage closet. I really enjoy the show now, but I do understand him wanting to get back to the theatre and the audience and Jon (I miss Jon being there!).  I will say that when they ran clips (or maybe it was an entire show-I don't actually remember) a while ago of the show in the theatre, I was really distracted by how noisy it was.  

I'm fine either way since I love the show, but the theatre is so... noisy.  (I'm sure I'll adapt).

I just heard on CBS This Morning that Stephen is coming back with a full audience (all vaccinated) on June 14th.  Yeah!

I so happy that they're coming back to studio.  I think that Fallon was able to do his with limited audience is because its a smaller studio - its almost half the seats of the Ed Sullivan theater and did I mention....its tiny.  :) Colbert wanted to come back for a full experience and I'm here to for it.  Going to be in NYC mid-late September and the only night we don't have b-way tickets for is Friday, and Stephen doesn't tape on Friday.  Dang.  Maybe I can do his taping and run down the block for 7p Hamilton show.  (kidding)

So the plan is to get 400 fully vaccinated (with proof) people every night? I wonder if they'll be able to fill that number every day.

I think that mostly his demographic is vaccinated.  I made this up in my head and have no science to back it up with.

Yeah, I just wonder. I must admit, I'm fully vaccinated and I still wouldn't want to sit in an indoor room with 400 maskless people cheering and laughing.

I tend to think that Stephen's demo is pretty young and a lot of younger people aren't vaccinated yet.

However I'm sure they will be conscientious about checking for status.

I hope they will continue having those intimate segments between Evie and Stephen, it's been a lot of fun.

I'm sure they'll give the fully vaccinated audience the option of wearing a mask or not while they're seated. It's not as if the type of people Stephen attracts are the militant anti-vax type.

I'm sure they're all like other late night talk shows in that nobody under the age of 18 is allowed in, which would mean they should be vaccinated.

Stephen was such a happy, happy boy last night when announcing the show's return to a live audience. Jon B was happy too, knowing that the band will be back together again. And I had a laugh when Jon B played the show's theme song to take them out. Seems perfect for the show's return to normal!

New York City.  It's not going to be the struggle it would be in most of the country (even L.A.).  New York got scared, legitimately, really deeply, really early.  Even a few miles outside, in NJ for example, you'll still find plenty of hesitancy, so maybe commuters are out, but if they focus on city residents, they won't have a problem.  Tourists do often make up a good portion of the audience traditionally, but I have to think Fox-TV Nation's (increasingly false) narrative in the past year of New York City as a disease ridden hellhole will steer only vaccine believers to visit at this point, because while those media sources often profess to disbelieve in COVID itself, or the vaccine, when they DO change things up to act like it's all real and valid, NYC is held up falsely as an outlier where things are bad, because of... reasons. 

In short, they'll come closer than we expect, and probably stagger seating anyway.  Or just close the balcony.

When I went to a taping of Jay Leno's way back in the late 1990s, it was 16 and over allowed in. Of course, that was years ago and the rules might be different for people wanting to see Stephen. I'll have to look that up.

Yes, Stephen and Jon both looked so happy about being together again and in front of a live audience. I'm happy for them, the band and the crew, but I'm going to miss the little supply closet and Evie. But, we'll all adjust.

WIth the View and Kelly & Ryan - it is 18, BUT 16 with a parent.  Took my girl to both a couple years back.
