The torch has finally been passed!
Last night marked Stephen Colbert's inaugural ride as the host of CBS's late-night flagship The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. George Clooney and Jeb Bush stopped by for the first show -- and George was a hoot!
Stephen and the Oscar winner joked around about how they had nothing to talk about and eventually played fake clips from a fake movie, Decision Strike, that Clooney was pretending to star in.
During the late night stop, George also gushed about his wife of almost one year, British lawyer Amal Alamuddin.
Colbert spoke to the 54-year-old about his distinguished wife and asked the actor what it was like to be "the arm candy" in the relationship.
The Late Show host said, "Because she's a very serious person. She must say, 'We're going to meet some extremely intelligent people tonight. George cleverly retorted, "[I feel] shiny and pretty. That's mostly what I do now."
Last week, the AP came under fire after referring to Amal in a tweet as simply "actor's wife" -- despite her being a leading human rights lawyer.
George and his 37-year-old lady love were married in a lavish, star-studded ceremony at the Aman Canal Grande Hotel in Venice, Italy last September. The Cloones seems completely smitten with his distinguished wife -- and we couldn't be happier for them!
