Emma Thompson has a bone to pick with whomever decided not to involve a sword in her damehood ceremony, which apparently annoyed her husband. She brought the issue up while chatting with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” on Tuesday, June 4, calling the situation “not fair.” “If you get a knighthood, your wife or person who lives with you becomes ‘Lady So-and-so’,” she explained. “But the husband doesn’t get anything. So I’m Dame Emma, and he’s just plain old Greg Meh-bleh. So he’s not pleased. Plus, I wear the badge in bed and it’s sharp!” According to JustJared, Emma sparkled later in the show when she teased Stephen about the lack of women hosts in real-life late night TV as opposed to in her new film ,”Late Night.” “[My character is] a woman late-night talk show [host], so it’s basically science fiction,” she declared. “Did you see the way I slipped that in, sneaky little political remark there from Dame Thommo?” Stephen didn’t miss a beat, joking: “We don’t need politics in late night.”
