Happy Birthday, Evelyn! (Stephen Colbert and John Legend)

We normally don’t post about Stephen’s family, but since a recent Comedy Central Insider post indicates that this was recorded during John Legend’s show in NYC and not in a private gathering, we’ll bend our rule so that we can join in the birthday wishes for the lovely Evie McGee-Colbert. We can’t top Stephen and John singing to you, but we send you all our best, now and throughout the year!

    “Can ya’ll join in on that please?”

    Definitely detected more than a hint of southern twang when he said that. You can’t escape the southern accent no matter how hard you try. Trust me, I’ve tried. Occasionally it slips through.

    And I feel like I’m forgetting something … oh yeah:

    AWWW!

        No, don’t feel alone. Mine would never do that either. Perhaps one day I’ll share the story of how he pretty much blew off my 40th birthday. He’s a great husband and father but doing something like that would never even enter his mind.

          Pffft! I’m lucky if my husband even remembers to get me a card! And he knows it bothers me. *rolls eyes*

    That’s a really good copy.

    Colbert looks the weeniest bit ‘liquored up’ (hence the slight southern drawl?);D, and the birthday girl looks fabulous.

    Hope they had fun….oh, alright…aaaaawwwww…that’s so cuuute. :D

    Sorry to double post, but why isn’t my comment being listed at the side?

    And I’ve wondered why my comments are always numbered ’1′, no matter how many comments are before mine.

    puzzling…

    I told myself “no no I’m not going to post way back into NFZ just cuz I was gone” but cannot not comment this video. such a sweet gesture!

    also that is definitely southerner-talk! it is an amazing accent. just I spent a bunch of time with one southerner and a bunch of yanks like myself, and all of us were picking up a twang, even though we way outnumbered our friend from the lower latitudes. I had to purposely try to speak “normal.” Stephen must have superhuman speech-controlling abilities!
