John Boehner's Book Calls Out 'That Jerk' Ted Cruz And 'Political Terrorist' Jim Jordan

Former Speaker of the House John Boehner got out of politics at just the right time, before the rise of GOP "jerks" like Ted Cruz and Jim Jordan, about whom he is explicitly candid in his new book, "On The House: A Washington Memoir." Keep watching for Stephen Colbert's two-part interview with the former Speaker. #Colbert #TedCruz #JohnBoehner

"We're 1 shot closer to us being together with the audience again". Honestly, if I have to choose between a live audience and Evie, I'll take Evie every single time.

It’s amazing what courage politicians show when they are not in office...

John Boehner did not stop the downward spiral in his party that eventually led to the likes of Lyin’ Flyin’ Ted Cancun Cruz & Gym Jordan.
Boehner was also firmly against legalization until he retired and saw the green ($).

I appreciate the production team went “Evie’s in tonight, get a camera on a wide of both of them” and getting Evie more involved even if it’s without a mic.

I received my second Pfizer on Thursday. I had a tiny fever that lasted from Friday afternoon until Sunday, but I was able to keep doing my house remodeling with a tad bit more sweatiness than usual. I could tell I didn't feel 100% but I was completely fine by Monday. It is worth it. I definitely know my body had an immune response. Get vaccinated. We all want to get back out there.

Stephen and Evvie are couple goals. They are so sweet together.

Love Evie's "Stop complaining, you big baby" expression at 01:42

"Wow, John Boehner is such a forward thinking, straight talking politician. I like him!"

Says anyone that hasn't heard of John Boehner before.

Such courage Boehner, taking shots from the peanut gallery years later.

I love that Evie was just like "don't tell them it's bad" cause she doesn't want to scare ppl out of getting the vaccine. If Stephen is America's Dad of late night she definitely has the mom role down. So cute

It's always great to see John Batiste and hear him play! More John Batiste!!!
And congrats on your second shot, Stephen!! Looking forward to my second shot in a couple of weeks!

So glad Evie is back! And she’s even more sensible than Stephen- how’s that even possible? Love these two

After the 2nd shot, drinking water is recommended to avoid headaches. I was told at CVS last Friday. I drank 2 liters and I didn’t have any headache.

Dear Mr. Colbert,
Your wife is just the most charming, beautiful part of your lock down "A Late Show". Her laughter and your repartee are delightful, heartwarming. Thank you for letting us get to know her over the last year. Health and happiness to you both xoxo

I learned a new word which might describe what happened yesterday: a snaccident. Its what happened when you accidentally ate a whole packet of cookies.

Calling Ted Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh" is an insult to the devil...

[justineharper]

Stephen and Evie may be the cutest couple I’ve ever seen
