STEPHEN COLBERT & AMANDA SEYFRIED—“ALLENTOWN, PA COMMUNITY CALENDAR” Jessie James Decker [5boC6clwIaZ]

(Originally aired January 14, 2026)

Gorgeous and talented actress and singer Amanda Seyfried shows everyone stacey abrams georgia senate subpoena why shes Allentown, Pennsylvanias hometown (S)hero. She and Stephen break down what makes Allentown so speciala town SO special that Billy Joel wrote a song about it.

Nestled in Lehigh Valley in the Rust Belt, Allentown has had its fair share of ups and downsmost of it related to the steel industry. But Allentown is so much more than that. For example, its the only place in America where you can paint an actual adult and not be charged with a crime. However, YouTube censors prevent me from elaborating any further about that.

The healthy nancy guthrie Dutch population in and around Allentown love to eat anythingas long as its made out of lard, sugar, flour and butter. Im sorry, did I say healthy population? And if you dont like lard or Dutch people, then hang out with some pirates or their descendants. Youll know who the pirates and their descendants are because theyre the ones running all of the Murder Mystery theme nights at wineries across town.

And if youre between 50-60 years of age, then youre in luck. Allentowns famous Tipsys Bar & Lounge holds regular speed-dating nights just for you guys. Im sorry, did I say speed-dating? I meant medium-slow dating, followed by a ten-minute bathroom break and then nap time on the carpet-of-shame in the rear game room. And speaking of games, Allentown hosts the Quakertown Board Game Night! hosted by the towns funeral & cremation service, just in case any long-teeth get too excited and blow a gasket in their tickers.

All in all, Allentown sounds like the kind place everyone should see and experience at most once. And as Allentownians like to say, Come for the Fastnacht donuts, but stay debt for the long nap.

Thanks for stopping by. Remember to take care of yourself and do good things.

Be Best!First Lady Melania Trump
