On Monday, Jennifer Garner appeared at the historic Ed Sullivan Theater in Midtown Manhattan for the purpose of taping an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The 53-year-old actress elected to wear a black midi dress featuring a single asymmetric strap and patent leather heels, styled by Jordan Johnson Chung. Her hair was professionally arranged by Ben Skervin, and her makeup was applied by Genevieve Herr in preparation for high-definition broadcast. The garment further extended into a cape detail at the rear.
Despite winter temperatures approximating 40 degrees Fahrenheit, Ms. Garner briefly removed her outerwear for media photographs, thereby displaying a red manicure by nail artist Mo Qin and a ring worn on her left hand.
This appearance constituted Ms. Garner’s fourth engagement on the CBS program, having previously appeared once in 2017 and twice in 2023. During the broadcast, she and host Stephen Colbert referenced their longstanding acquaintance, originating in 1996 when both held minor guest roles in an episode titled “The Competition” of the ABC sitcom Spin City. Ms. Garner recounted that Mr. Colbert and his spouse, Evelyn McGee-Colbert, had once engaged her and her roommate to provide childcare services for their infant daughter. Mr. Colbert observed that the child in question is now 30 years of age, prompting lighthearted commentary from Ms. Garner.
The Colberts’ daughter, Madeleine Colbert, is presently employed by CBS as an associate producer on 60 Minutes.
Ms. Garner shares three children—Violet, Fin, and Samuel—with her former spouse, Ben Affleck. Their marriage concluded in 2018.
Her appearance on the program was undertaken in furtherance of promotional activities for the second season of The Last Thing He Told Me, scheduled to premiere on Apple TV+. Ms. Garner serves as executive producer and reprises her role as Hannah Hall. The first season of the series, developed by Laura Dave and Josh Singer, received aggregated ratings of 41% from critics and 48% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
On December 11, Ms. Garner committed to star in the forthcoming cryptocurrency-themed comedy “One Attempt Remaining,” directed by Kay Cannon for Netflix. Additional projects include the Netflix holiday comedy “Mrs. Claus,” Max Winkler’s true-crime film “Fruitcake,” and the eight-episode drama “The Five-Star Weekend” for Peacock.
Separately, on February 6, Ms. Garner and her co-founders, Cassandra Curtis and John Foraker, completed the public listing of their children’s food enterprise, Once Upon a Farm, trading under the ticker symbol “OFRM” on the New York Stock Exchange. The company reportedly raised approximately $198 million at a valuation of $724 million, with initial trading prices ranging between $20 and $25 per share.#newsafro_
