Stephen Colbert’s reoccurring late night segment “Rescue Dog Rescue” sees celebrities join the host to help puppies from The North Shore Animal League get adopted. Their trick to helping the poor pups find forever homes is to embellish their back stories just a little bit to grab more attention (with an impeccable 100% adoption rate!). On this episode, Chris Evans comes on board and easily charms the audience.
They take turns spinning tales about each puppy and even included an older rescue for the first time. Clearly distracted by the pups, Evans (who famously has a rescue dog named Dodger) managed to mix up Baxter with himself, claiming the pup was named “2022’s People’s Sexiest Man Alive.” Watch the full clip below.
