Garner & Colbert: From Spin City Sit-ins to Babysitting Bliss

Jennifer Garner and Stephen Colbert's careers have soared since their early days, but a shared past on the sitcom Spin City connected them in an unexpected way. In 1996, both actors appeared in a single episode of the series, with Garner playing Becky and Colbert as Frank. This brief on-screen collaboration led to Garner babysitting Colbert's daughter, Madeline.

During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the two stars reflected on their time working together. Colbert revealed to Garner that the baby she once cared for is now 30 years old. Garner's surprised and humorous reaction, referencing the movie "13 Going on 30," highlighted the passage of time and their respective career trajectories. Both have since achieved significant success in their fields, with Colbert hosting his late-night show and Garner starring in various film and television projects.
