Bonnie McFarlane on Colbert, “You can’t be happy all of the time, you’ll ruin your liver”

Comedian Bonnie McFarlane regales the Late Show crowd with tales of sexism, parenting, and texting while driving.

McFarlane hosts a podcast with with husband and fellow comedian Rich Vos titled My Wife Hates Me which focuses on the day-to-day marital strife of the couple. She also released a book earlier this year, You’re Better Than Me: A Memoir. It took Bonnie McFarlane a lot of time, effort, and tequila to get to where she is today. Before she starred on Last Comic Standing and directed her own films, she was an inappropriately loud tomboy growing up on her parents’ farm in Cold Lake, Canada, wetting her pants during standardized tests and killing chickens. Desperate to find “her people”—like-minded souls who wouldn’t judge her because she was honest, ruthless, and okay, sometimes really rude—Bonnie turned to comedy.
