Stephen Colbert is the sharp and witty host of The Late Show,

who's been married to his wife Evie McGee Colbert for more than 30 years.

The two have partnered up in the kitchen for a new cookbook called,

Does This Taste Funny?

In it, they share their favorite family recipes and funniest moments cooking together.

The couples share how the idea for this book began during the COVID lockdown.

With all three of their grown children back under their roof,

cooking together became a major source of entertainment.

Writing this book transported them back to moments in time with their families and with each other. The couple even share the

story of one of their very first experiences cooking together, which led to a disagreement over a

metal spoon. The South Carolina natives open up about their famous dinner parties and why

humor has been a key ingredient in their long marriage. I'm Jenna Bush-Hager. Welcome to my

podcast, Open Book, with Jenna. Thank you guys for being here, Evie.

Thank you, Jennifer, for having us.

Thank you.

You have a great book.

Does this taste funny?

I love two things most in the world, well, three, and this does not include my three children, but laughter and food.

How do you feel like the two of those intersect?

Well, it's good to laugh in the kitchen.

Just to be ready for anything to go wrong, because you could burn yourself or you could cut

yourself or you just ruin the meal.
