Jamie Lee Curtis calls out Stephen Colbert for being 'in love with' her husband
Entertainment Weekly ^ | 7/30/2025 | Emlyn Travis

Jamie Lee Curtis knows Stephen Colbert has a crush on her husband Christopher Guest. And honestly, she’s “fine with it.”

While visiting to The Late Show on Tuesday, the Freakier Friday star recalled witnessing sparks fly between the late-night host and her husband of 40 years during a Best In Show 25th anniversary panel at the Tribeca Film Festival last year.

“Why were you at the 25th celebration of Best In Show?” Curtis asked, to which Colbert sheepishly replied, “Because I always wanted to meet your husband Christopher Guest. I always wanted to meet him, I’d never met him before.”

Colbert moderated the event, which featured Guest, who directed, co-wrote, and acted in the film, alongside stars Jane Lynch, John Michael Higgins, Michael McKean, and Michael Hitchcock.

“So, in order to meet my husband, who you’re in love with, you had to, like, work for the panel,” Curtis explained. “So Chris is doing the panel, I’m sitting in the bleachers watching. It’s very funny, you were very funny, you kind of stared at him a lot. You did. Like, a lot of this.”

Curtis then placed her chin on her hands and gazed lovingly at Colbert. “I did,” the host agreed. “I don’t know if you know this, but he’s Christopher Guest!”

The Oscar winner explained that she got a chance to meet Colbert for the very first time after the panel was over. “I introduced myself. I said, 'I’m a hugger.' I said, ‘I’m gonna be on your show,’” she began, to which Colbert replied, “And I said, ‘I know.’”

Not exactly. “No,” Curtis replied. “You actually said, ‘Isn’t he amazing?’”

Colbert immediately turned red in response, covering his face with a hand before leaning back in his chair and laughing. “I mean, but isn’t he?!” he defended, shrugging and holding his hands up in the air.

Curtis went on to give Colbert and Guest’s newfound bond her stamp of approval.

“So let me just say this,” she said. “I’m fine with it. You know what it was like? It’s like watching Love Island. No, seriously, watching your love bloom together, just watching you gaze at him, him loving on you, and the rest of the things just got really quiet and soft-focused, and you guys were just [gazing into each other’s eyes].”

Colbert cheekily responded, “Let me ask you something: Is he here?”

“No!” Curtis remarked. “No, Stephen Colbert, I’m on a Freakier Friday world tour and Mr. Guest is not with me… He is at home with Runi.”

Curtis and Guest tied the knot in December 1984. The couple share two daughters, Annie, 38, and Ruby, 29.

Watch Colbert react to his crush on Guest being called out on national television in the clip above.

That’s pretty amusing! Not bad writing either, which is a miracle these days.

Not to change the subject, but I finally saw This is Spinal Tap, just in time for the trailer for Spinal Tap II to come out.

By the way, that is a 2, not an 11.

Well, being who her parents were certainly didn’t hurt her career that’s for sure.

Who knows how many doors were opened for that reason over the years.

Gross. Hopefully that means there won’t be any mini Colberts.

JLC is a useless old witch, dried up prune face...

America doesn’t need another freaky Friday movie.

Move the F’ck on, there are so many more interesting talented young actors, that would kill it if given the shot in a major comedy film.

Nobody going to watch crazy Lindsey and old crow JLC.

“Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it?”

“Why not number from 1 to 10 with 10 being the loudest?”

“But these go to eleven.”

I still don’t know which one is Christopher Guest and which one is Michael McKean. I know one of them played Lenny on Laverne & Shirley and one played Sauron The White but I don’t know which is which.

After all of the stupidity that comes
out of Jamie Lee Curtis I can’t stand
to watch her

That being said, I caught one small part
of Freaky Friday years ago

Nobody else could have done this the way it was done

Drugs are bad, MKAY?

BUT great arrangement / version
