    Stephen, I know you love being back in the Ed Sullivan theater, but I’ve never been there and never want to. Your storage room show made the end of the day a whole lot lighter for a lot of us during lockdown (ok, I live in FL where I am still in lockdown because Florida).

    Where would Quarantine-while be without Texas, Florida or Gwyneth Paltrow?

    Dear Stephen Colbert,
    If you’re looking to win the internet how about a ‘best reactions of your wife’ list.
    Everyone loves her and she’s hilarious.
    That is all, carry on.

    ShantyTok was the best thing to come out of quarantine.
    Change my mind.

    My favorite part of quarantinewhile was after a few weeks in the staff just let loose of all their inhibitions for the introduction. Somehow every lead in seemed to be unique and made you want to watch the next one.

    The sea shanty was cool, Stephen’s version was Epic!

    “You’re a thing and I love you,” combined with the awkward rose snuggling is still a personal favorite.

    This was more emotional than I expected. It triggered many memories. I’m going to rant. You can scroll. It’s nonsense. I remember thinking I was being valiant and volunteering to work in person, and letting my elderly coworker go home because all we knew about the virus was that it kills old people and that masks didn’t matter so long as we didn’t touch and washed our hands. Then, soon after, I remember waiting for tests to be sourced, and my doctor on Zoom telling me that he didn’t know what to say. And then, I remember being one of the first people in my community to catch Covid-19. He told me to sleep on my stomach and wake up every two hours and cough. He told me to drink water and agreed with my concoction of tea and turmeric and pulverized vitamins and ginger. He told me not to lay in bed all day, and to crawl, if I had to, but to get out of bed. I remember writing my will and crying because I couldn’t decide who would take the best care of my dog. I remember my 5 year old nephew running to hug me and me screaming to him to stop, and trying to run away, but being too weak. I shut the door on him. I still wonder if he will remember that forever. I remember him being scared and me thinking I mightn’t live to see him happy again. I remember being angry and seeing that Stephen was angry about his own things, too. I remember finding the lack of laughter and the band odd. I remember the coughing. So much coughing. I remember all of it. I remember the long haul and watching Evie read the cards on the different holidays. I remember wondering if the new kidney issues from the longhaul would kill me, or if I might safely continue to dream about a love as beautiful as Stephen and Evies. I remember crying so hard when Stephen told us that the president knew since February how bad this was. I thought about how I wouldn’t have caught it because I would have fucked off home. I thought about my kidneys and my sadness and my pain and how this would probably be forever. I remember feeling betrayed and angry and like an experiment. I cried so much.i didn’t think I would ever stop crying.
    But I remember us slowly coming back. I remember the election special…
    I remember when Evie “gave back” Stephen and told us he was ours now. I remember missing her. She stayed so kind and pure through everything. I felt like we were back on our own, contending with this alone, like me in the pandemic, without a kind soul like Evie to remind you that everything isn’t dying.

    This hit me more than it should have.
    But it feels like an origin story of something that I have yet to meet.
    I’m so thankful for you and all your fans and all of the kindness.

    Quarantine-while was mental life support.
