TONIGHT, COVID IS COMING TO
TOWN.
PLUS STEPHEN WELCOMES MERYL
STREEP AND MUSICAL GUEST CHRIS
STAPLETON, PLUS JON BATISTE AND
"STAY HOMIN'."
LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED
SULLIVAN THEATER OFFICE BUILDING
IN NEW YORK CITY, IT'S STEPHEN
COLBERT!
>> Stephen: HELLO AND WELCOME
TO "A LATE SHOW."
I'M YOUR SHOWS STEPHEN COLBERT.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN.
WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
MIRACLE OF SANTA GOING ALL
AROUND THE WORLD IN A SINGLE
NIGHT.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S MOVING ALMOST AS
FAST?
CORONAVIRUS.
AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT
IN MY ONGOING SEGMENT, "CATCH A
THIRD WAVE: ENDLESS BUMMER."
>> HEY, EVERYONE, I'M STILL
HERE!
AND-- AHH!
NO!
ELECTRICAL HAZARD!"
>> Stephen: I THINK I WAS A
LITTLE LATE.
OVER THE WEEKEND, U.S. COVID-19
HOSPITALIZATIONS HIT ANOTHER
RECORD HIGH, WHICH IS WHY WE ALL
NEED TO PROTECT EACH OTHER BY
STAYING HOME, WHERE YOU CAN SIT
ALONE ON YOUR COUCH AND HIT A
RECORD HIGH.
EXPERTS ARE TRYING TO HELP
AMERICANS BRACE FOR HOW BAD
THINGS WILL GET.
TAKE CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE
COORDINATOR DR. DEBORAH BIRX,
SEEN HERE EXPLAINING THE PLOT OF
"ALIEN V. PREDATOR."
BIRX APPEARED ON "MEET THE
PRESS" YESTERDAY AND SAID THAT
THE WINTER SURGE WOULD BE THE
WORST EVENT IN U.S. HISTORY.
SO, SORRY, CELEBRITY "IMAGINE"
VIDEO, YOUR TIME ATOP THE THRONE
IS OVER.
OUT, OUT, BRIEF CANDLE.
ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE IS, WITH
THE OTHER MOST TRAGIC EVENTS IN
AMERICAN HISTORY, YOU DIDN'T
HAVE A BIG CHUNK OF THE
POPULATION SAYING, "IT'S A
HOAX!"
FOR PETE'S SAKE, TODAY'S THE
ANNIVERSARY OF PEARL HABOR, AND
F.D.R. NEVER SAID THIS:
>> DECEMBER 7TH, 1941-- A DATE
WHICH WILL LIVE IN INFAMY--
BECAUSE THE JAPANESE AIR FORCE
IS A HOAX!
IT'S ALL A PLOT BY THE
VANDERBILTS TO IMPLANT TELEGRAPH
WIRES IN YOUR BRAIN!
>> STEPHEN: ONE OF THE LATEST
PEOPLE AFFECTED IS THE
PRESIDENT'S LAWYER RUDY
GIULIANI, SEEN HERE PINCHING OUT
A CLOSING STATEMENT.
YESTERDAY, WE LEARNED THAT
GIULIANI TESTED POSITIVE FOR
CORONAVIRUS.
OKAY, FOR A MAN HIS AGE, IT'S A
SCARY DIAGNOSIS, BUT I HAVE NO
DOUBT HE'LL GET TOP-NOTCH
MEDICAL CARE.
PLUS, YOU KNOW HE'LL STAY
HYDRATED.
HE DRINKS SO MANY FLUIDS, THEY
LEAK OUT HIS SKULL.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST RUDY WHO'S AT
RISK.
GIULIANI HAS TRAVELED
EXTENSIVELY TO BATTLEGROUND
STATES IN RECENT DAYS AND MET
WITH OFFICIALS FOR HOURS AT A
TIME WITHOUT WEARING A MASK.
THAT IS SO RECKLESS!
THEY WILLINGLY SAT IN THE SAME
ROOM WITH RUDY GIULIANI'S TEETH!
NOT ONLY HAS GIULIANI GONE
MASKLESS, HE'S ALSO TRIED TO
COAX HIS OWN WITNESSES TO TAKE
THEIRS OFF:
>> MS. JACOB?
I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THIS IF
YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT
WOULD YOU BE COMFORTABLE TAKING
YOUR MASK OFF SO THAT THE PEOPLE
COULD HEAR YOU MORE CLEARLY?
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
>> CAN EVERYONE HEAR HER
CLEARLY?
>> WE CAN HEAR YOU.
>> OKAY!
>> STEPHEN: (AS RUDY)
"YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANNA TAKE
IT OFF?
IT JUST FEELS BETTER WITHOUT IT,
THE MASK KILLS ALL THE
SENSATION.
LOOK, I BOUGHT YOU DINNER, AT
LEAST LET ME SEE YOUR NOSTRILS."
NO?
SHAKING YOUR HEAD.
I THINK IT'S A PERFECTLY FINE
METAPHOR.
TYPHOID RUDY IS SUCH A DISEASE
VECTOR THAT THE ARIZONA
LEGISLATURE'S CLOSING FOR A WEEK
AFTER HE SPENT TWO DAYS WITH
MASKLESS G.O.P. LAWMAKERS.
SO, FOR JUST A PARTIAL LIST OF
RUDY'S ACHIEVEMENTS, SINCE THE
ELECTION: HE'S LOST 48 LAWSUITS,
HE MELTED ON CAMERA, HE FARTED
IN COURT, HE GOT COVID, AND HE
SHUT DOWN A STATE LEGISLATURE.
THE ONLY THING MORE EMBARRASSING
WOULD BE IF HE MARRIED HIS OWN
COUSIN.
HE WHAT?
OH, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
I'M GOING TO KEEP TALKING.
WE HAVE A SHORT TIME FRAME.
DESPITE HIS LAWYER'S SERIOUS
ILLNESS, THE PRESIDENT HAS VOWED
TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST
DEMOCRACY.
I'LL GIVE YOU THE LATEST IN MY
UNFORTUNATELY ONGOING SEGMENT:
♪ ASS-CLOWN RACIST
SING THIS SONG
♪ COUP D'ETAT
COUP D'ETAT
♪ ASS-CLOWN FASCIST
LOVES KIM JONG
♪ I WILL NOT GO AWAY ♪
>> "ROAD FROM THE WHITE HOUSE"
>> STEPHEN: THERE HAS BEEN YET
ANOTHER HUGE BLOW TO THE
PRESIDENT'S COUP ATTEMPT
BECAUSE, JUST HOURS AGO, GEORGIA
RE-CERTIFIED ITS PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION RESULTS, ONCE AGAIN
FINDING JOE BIDEN AS THE WINNER
FOLLOWING THREE COUNTS OF
BALLOTS.
LIKE THE SAYING GOES, "THIRD
TIME'S THE... SAME AS THE FIRST
AND SECOND TIME, ONLY MORE
HUMILIATING."
DON'T FEEL LEFT OUT
MR. PRESIDENT.
BIDEN MAY HAVE WON THE PEACH
STATE, BUT YOU GOT IMPEACHED,
AND THAT'LL NEVER GO AWAY.
BUT IT'S A MOMENT THE PRESIDENT
HAS BEEN DREADING.
TO TRY TO KEEP IT FROM
HAPPENING, THIS WEEKEND, HE
CALLED, GEORGIA GOVERNOR AND
DENNIS QUAID WITH WATER DAMAGE,
BRIAN KEMP.
THE PRESIDENT PRESSED KEMP TO
CALL A SPECIAL SESSION OF THE
STATE LEGISLATURE FOR LAWMAKERS
TO OVERRIDE THE RESULTS OF THE
ELECTION AND INSTEAD APPOINT
ELECTORS WHO WOULD THEN BACK THE
PRESIDENT AT THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE.
I'M GOING TO SAY THIS IS A ROUGH
TIME FOR THOSE WHO'VE BEEN
INSISTING THAT HE'S NOT REALLY
AN AUTOCRAT.
BECAUSE LET'S BE CLEAR: IF YOU
THROW OUT THE VOTES, THAT'S THE
END OF DEMOCRACY.
IT'S A SHORT WALK FROM "DO US A
FAVOR THOUGH" TO "MAKE ME
MUSSOLINI, BRO."
THANKFULLY, KEMP DECLINED THE
PRESIDENT'S REQUEST.
IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
ATLANTA'S ALREADY BURNED ONCE.
THEY'RE GOOD.
LATER THAT NIGHT, THE PRESIDENT
WENT TO GEORGIA FOR A MAGA
RALLY, AND WHILE HE COMPLAINED
ABOUT THE ELECTION, HE INSISTED
THAT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HIM:
>> WE'RE ALL VICTIMS.
EVERYBODY HERE, ALL THESE
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HERE
TONIGHT, THEY'RE ALL VICTIMS,
EVERY ONE OF YOU.
>> STEPHEN: AND THEY'RE PACKED
TOGETHER IN A RALLY, NOT WEARING
MASKS, SO IF ANY OF THEM AREN'T
VICTIMS NOW, JUST WAIT 3-5 DAYS.
THEN THE SORE LOSER TRIED TO
CONVINCE US THAT HE'S ONLY BEING
A SORE LOSER BECAUSE HE DIDN'T
LOSE:
>> AND I HAVE TO SAY, IF I LOST
I'D BE A VERY GRACIOUS LOSER.
IF I LOST, I WOULD SAY I LOST
AND I'D GO TO FLORIDA AND I'D
TAKE IT EASY AND I'D GO AROUND
AND I'D SAY I DID A GOOD JOB.
>> STEPHEN: AS OPPOSED TO HOW HE
SPENT HIS PRESIDENCY, GOING TO
FLORIDA, TAKING IT EASY, AND
SAYING HE DID A GOOD JOB.
BUT NO MAGA RALLY WOULD BE
COMPLETE WITHOUT ONE TRULY
STUPID RAMBLE.
>> WHO DOES CUCUMBERS AROUND
HERE?
BECAUSE I LIKE CUCUMBERS.
CAN YOU-- I'M THE ONLY ONE.
I LIKE CUCUMBERS.
>> STEPHEN: AT THIS POINT, HE'S
JUST TESTING WHAT THEY'LL
APPLAUD.
BECAUSE THE ONLY THING DUMBER
THAN HIM BRAGGING THAT HE'S THE
ONLY ONE WHO LOVES CUCUMBERS IS
THE AUDIENCE CHEERING FOR
CUCUMBERS.
"AWW, YEAH, CUCUMBERS!
WOO!
THEY MAKE PICKLES!
CHOP THEM UP, CHOP THEM UP!"
"I RELISH IT!"
I'M SWEATING RIGHT THROUGH THIS.
LOOK AT THAT.
THE PRESIDENT WAS SUPPOSEDLY IN
GEORGIA TO HELP THE REPUBLICAN
SENATORIAL CANDIDATES IN THEIR
UPCOMING RUNOFF ELECTIONS--
BUT HE DIDN'T SEEM THAT
ENTHUSIASTIC:
>> YOU KNOW, I DON'T DO THESE
THINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
I DON'T LIKE DOING IT FOR OTHER
PEOPLE.
I SAID-- DAVID AND KELLY CALL
"WOULD YOU DO A RALLY?"
I SAID, "NOT REALLY.
I DID 56 OF THEM."
>> STEPHEN: KIND OF HARSH, AND
ALSO HIS ANSWER TO "DO YOU TAKE
THIS WOMAN TO BE YOUR
LAWFULLY-WEDDED WIFE?"
>> NOT REALLY.
I DID 56 OF THEM.
>> STEPHEN: THESE WERE
INCREDIBLY CLOSE RACES IN THE
GENERAL ELECTION, SO THE
JANUARY 5 RUNOFF IS GOING TO
COME DOWN TO VOTER TURNOUT.
AND THE PRESIDENT WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THAT ALL HIS FOLLOWERS KNEW
WHAT DAY TO SHOW UP:
>> EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE
ACHIEVED TOGETHER IS ON THE LINE
ON JUNE 5.
>> STEPHEN: THAT'S RIGHT.
LISTEN TO YOUR PRESIDENT.
HE'S NEVER WRONG!
YOU MUST VOTE ON JUNE 5.
FOR THE REST OF YOU, YOU MIGHT
WANT TO FIND OUT THE ACTUAL
ELECTION DATE AT
BETTERKNOWABALLOT.COM/GA.
THE CANDIDATES IN BOTH RUNOFF
ELECTIONS DEBATED LAST NIGHT.
THE MORE NOTEWORTHY OF THE TWO
WAS BETWEEN INCUMBENT GEORGIA
REPUBLICAN AND ACTOR WHO WANTS
YOU TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME,
SENATOR DAVID PERDUE, AGAINST
DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER AND BAR
MITZVAH BOY GENUINELY MOVED BY
HIS BUBBE'S TOAST, JON OSSOFF.
THE LAST TIME THESE TWO MEN
DEBATED, THIS HAPPENED:
>> WELL, PERHAPS SENATOR PERDUE
WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESPOND
PROPERLY TO THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC IF YOU HADN'T BEEN
FENDING OFF MULTIPLE
INVESTIGATIONS FOR INSIDER
TRADING.
IT'S NOT JUST THAT YOU'RE A
CROOK SENATOR, IT'S THAT YOU'RE
ATTACKING THE HEALTH OF THE
PEOPLE THAT YOU REPRESENT.
CAN YOU LOOK DOWN THE CAMERA AND
TELL THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE
WHY YOU VOTED FOUR TIMES TO
ALLOW INSURANCE COMPANIES TO
DENY US HEALTH COVERAGE BECAUSE
WE MAY SUFFER FROM DIABETES, OR
HEART DISEASE, OR ASTHMA, OR
HAVE CANCER IN REMISSION?
WHY, SENATOR?
>> STEPHEN: DAMN.
JON OSSOFF JUST TORE HIM A NEW
OSS-HOLE!
SO, ALL EYES WERE ON LAST
NIGHT'S DEBATE TO SEE HOW PERDUE
WAS GOING TO FARE IN THE
REMATCH.
>> THE CANDIDATES ARE DEMOCRAT
JON OSSOFF.
HE IS C.E.O. OF INSIGHT T.W.I.,
A MEDIA PRODUCTION COMPANY.
REPUBLICAN DAVID PERDUE HAS
SERVED IN HE U.S. SENATE
SINCE 2015.
SENATOR PERDUE DECLINED TO
PARTICIPATE IN THIS DEBATE AND
IS REPRESENTED BY AN EMPTY
PODIUM.
>> STEPHEN: WOW, HE DIDN'T SHOW!
ALTHOUGH, THAT PODIUM DOES HAVE
MORE PERSONALITY THAN DAVID
PURDUE.
OF COURSE, THIS KIND OF DEBATE
IS NOT UNPRECEDENTED IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.
WHO CAN FORGET THE CLASSIC
EXCHANGE IN THE LINCOLN DOUGLAS
DEBATES WHEN LINCOLN SAID, "A
HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF
CANNOT STAND."
TO WHICH DOUGLAS REPLIED, "I AM
A CHAIR."
IN THE MIDST OF AN UNPRECEDENTED
PANDEMIC, AND A CLEAR ELECTION
IN WHICH THE DEFEATED INCUMBENT
STILL HASN'T RECOGNIZED REALITY
THE WHITE HOUSE DECIDED THAT NOW
WAS THE PERFECT TIME FOR THE
FIRST LADY TO ANNOUNCE THE
COMPLETION OF THE NEW WHITE
HOUSE TENNIS PAVILION.
IT'S THE ONLY PLACE ERIC OR DON
JUNIOR WILL EVER HEAR THE WORD
"LOVE."
NOW, IT MIGHT BE TOUGH FOR THIS
ADMINISTRATION TO FIND ANYBODY
TO PLAY WITH.
BASED ON HOW THEY'VE BEHAVED
SINCE THE ELECTION, REPUBLICANS
DON'T HAVE ANY BALLS.
IN A STATEMENT, THE FIRST LADY
STATEMENTED, "IT IS MY HOPE THAT
THIS PRIVATE SPACE WILL
FUNCTION AS BOTH A PLACE OF
LEISURE AND GATHERING FOR FUTURE
FIRST FAMILIES."
THAT'S THE CLOSEST WE'RE GOING
TO GET TO A CONCESSION!
SHE'S ADMITTING THAT THERE WILL
BE FUTURE FIRST FAMILIES.
AND GATHERINGS!
ACCORDING TO THE WHITE HOUSE,
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW
TENNIS BUILDING WAS FUNDED BY
PRIVATE DONATIONS.
SO, WHEN THE CAMPAIGN SENT OUT
EMAILS BEGGING FOR "COURT
MONEY," TECHNICALLY, THEY
WEREN'T LYING.
NOW, I CRITICIZE THIS WHITE
HOUSE OCCASIONALLY, BUT I'M
HONESTLY EXCITED FOR THIS TENNIS
THING.
BECAUSE IT GIVES ME YET ANOTHER
REASON TO SHOW THIS PHOTO.
I ALSO GET TO SHOW THAT PHOTO
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SPORTS,
ATHLEISURE WEAR, AND HONEYGLAZED
HAMS.
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT.

AND IT'S ABOUT A GLOBAL
CATASTROPHE, BUT IT'S SORT OF
FUNNY, LIKE DR. STRANGE LOVE FOR
2020, A GLOBAL WARMING METAPHOR
FOR THAT.
IT'S A BIG STARRY CAST AND LOTS
OF FUN PEOPLE.
>> Stephen: AND WHO DO YOU
PLAY?
>> WELL, I PLAY PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
>> Stephen: OH, PERFECT.
PERFECT.
SO IN THE STRANGE LOVE MODEL,
YOU ARE PRESIDENT MERCK MUFFLIN.
>> YES, INDEED (LAUGHING) EXCEPT
I HAVE A CHIEF OF STAFF, WHO IS
MY SON, AND THAT'S JONA JONAH HE
HAD OUR FIRST SCENE ON FRIDAY
AND I WAS SO BAD.
>> Stephen: WHAT?
WELL, I'VE BEEN IN THIS, YOU
KNOW, QUARANTINE BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL, AND I'M
TOTALLY ALONE, AND MY FIRST
SCENE WAS ENTERING A STADIUM
FULL OF 20,000 PEOPLE AS THE
PRESIDENT, MY BIG FACE ON THE
JumboTron IN FRONT OF ME,
AND I JUST, LIKE, COMPLETELY
LOST IT, I COULDN'T REMEMBER
ANYTHING.
UH BUT I'M SURE IT WILL BE FINE
IN THE EDIT.
>> Stephen: WELL, IT'S SO
AMAZING.
THAT'S WHERE THE REAL
MOVIEMAKING HAPPENS AND THE REAL
ACTING TAKES PLACE IS IN THE
EDIT.
THEY SURE MADE ME LOOK BERT OVER
THE YEARS.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO MAKE A
MOVIE.
SHOULD BE NORMAL.
DOES IT FEEL NORMAL TO DO?
>> NO, NOT AT ALL.
THERE WEREN'T 20,000 PEOPLE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY, BUT
THEY'LL DUPLICATE THEM.
THERE WERE EXTRAS ALL AROUND THE
STADIUM, LONELY PEOPLE SEPARATED
BY 20 FEET OF AIR WEARING MASKS
AND VISORS THAT ARE CLEAR.
SO THEY'RE MEANT TO MAKE A BIG
NOISE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE --
( MUFFLED )
-- AND THE WHOLE THING IS SO
EERIE AND ODD AND DISCONCERTING,
AND WE ALL HAVE, OF COURSE,
MASKS.
AT THE LAST MINUTE, YOU TAKE
EVERYTHING OFF, AND THE LI LIPSK
IS ALL UP HERE.
>> Stephen: AND YOU HAVE THE
NICE RING AND I SWEAT.
>> YOU HAVE THE NICE RING.
THE ILLUSION IS SO EASY TO
MAINTAIN.
IT'S HILARIOUS.
THEY WERE ALL GREAT.
GOD, I HAVE TO PULL MYSELF
TOGETHER FOR MONDAY.
>> Stephen: BUT THIS HOLIDAY
SEASON, UIVED KIND ENOUGH TO
GIFT YOUR FANS WITH TWO MOVIES
SHOT BEFORE COVID, SO WE WERE
ABLE TO SHOOT THIS WITHOUT ANY
MASKS.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THEM.
BUT THE FIRST IS LET THEM ALL
TALK, WHICH I WATCHED THIS
WEEKEND AND I REALLY ENJOYED.
IT'S A STEVEN SODERBERGH MOVIE
WITH A GREAT CAST DIANE
GERMAN CHAN, CANDICE BERGEN, LUCAS HEDGES. THIS TAKES PLACE ON THE
QUEEN MARY.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IT MADE CRUISING
LOOK ATTRACTIVE.
>> WELL, IT COULDN'T GET MUCH
MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN ON THAT
PARTICULAR SHIP.
IT'S PRETTY SPECTACULAR.
BUT, YEAH, WE WENT -- I GUESS IT
WAS LAST AUGUST.
I MEAN, BEFORE THE QUARANTINE,
BEFORE THE COVID THING, AND WE
CROSSED FOR, I GUESS IT'S SEVEN
OR EIGHT DAYS, AND MADE THE
WHOLE MOVIE PRETTY MUCH THEN.
THERE WERE TWO OR THREE SCENES
IN ENGLAND ONCE WE LANDED, BUT
THE ADDED THING WAS THAT DEBRA
ISENBERG, THE GREAT NOVELIST,
AND STEPHEN HAD OUTLINED AN
IDEA.
AND EACH SCENE EACH DAY HAD THE
OUTLINES OF AN IDEA BUT NO
SCRIPT.
SO WE MADE IT UP AS WE WENT
ALONG.
>> Stephen: SO HOW WOULD THEY
DO IT?
WOULD THEY HAND YOU YOUR
INTENTION OR SOMETHING?
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE
GOING?
>> WELL, YOU HAVE WHERE YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO END UP, THE SORT OF
RESULT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AT
THE END OF THE SCENE.
BUT HOW YOU GET THERE WAS JUST
INDIVIDUALLY UP TO THE ACTORS
THAT WERE IN THE SCENE.
SO IT WAS REALLY FUN AND REALLY
LIVELY, AND THEY'RE VERY BRIGHT,
INTERESTING, IMAGINATIVE PEOPLE
THATHAT I WAS WORKING WITH.
IT WAS A KICK, BUT IT WAS
TERRIFYING.
>> Stephen: I WAS WONDERING
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF
DIRECTORS AND ACTORS USING
IMPROVISATION IN THE REHEARSAL
PROCESS TO FIND THE ROOTS OF
INTENTION AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT HAD YOU DONE A WHOLE MOVIE
THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY IMPROVISED
LIKE THAT BEFORE?
>> NO, WHO HAS?
I CERTAINLY NEVER MADE A MOVIE
IN EIGHT DAYS EITHER.
>> Stephen: AND CHRONOLOGICAL
BECAUSE BASICALLY T WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO THE CHARACTERS IS
BASICALLY IN THE ORDER IN WHICH
YOU SHOT IT?
>> YEAH, AND IT WAS OUR OWN
CLOTHES.
I WOULD GET UP IN THE MORNING,
PUT ON MY OWN CLOTHES, GO NEXT
DOOR AND HAVE THE BREAKFAST
SCENE WITH LUCAS HEDGES, SORT OF
MY PAJAMAS AND A ROBE THAT I
HAVE HERE AT HOME, AND WE'D HAVE
BREAKFAST AND WE WOULD JUST TALK
ABOUT WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO
TALK ABOUT IN A WAY, BUT WEEKEND
VEER OFF, HE DIDN'T CARE.
THEN HE EDIT IT OVER LUNCH AND
DINNER, AND WE WOULD BE
EXHAUSTED AND QUICKLY READ WHAT
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO ACHIEVE THE
NEXT DAY, AND THEN GO TO BED
RACKED WITH ANXIETY THAT WE
WOULDN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING
INTERESTING.
>> Stephen: DID HE EVER REJECT
WHAT YOU'D CREATED AND GO, NO,
NO, NO, NO, YOU'VE GOT TO DO
THAT DIFFERENTLY, THAT THE WHAT
YOUR CHARACTER WOULD SAY?
>> NO.
HE NEVER DID.
>> Stephen: WOW.
THAT'S GREAT.
>> IT'S ALL IN THE EDITING,
BABE.
HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO CUT IT
OUT.
HE'S THINKING CLICK, CLICK,
CLICK, YOU KNOW, I DON'T NEED
THAT.

WE'RE BACK WITH MERYL STREEP.
DID YOU LIKE BEING OUT THERE IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN, BECAUSE
THIS IS, WHAT IS IT -- ACTUALLY,
YOUR CHARACTER TALKS ABOUT THIS,
IT'S NOT A CRUISE, IT'S A
CROSSING.
>> IT'S A CROSSING.
>> Stephen: NEW YORK TO
SOUTHAMPTON.
IT ACTUALLY SOUNDS KIND OF
ATTRACTIVE.
>> WELL, IT IS A CROSSING.
I MEAN, THAT'S A METAPHOR FOR
THE WHOLE FILM AND WHAT IT'S
SORT OF ABOUT.
IT'S SORT OF -- YES, AIMING AT
ITS SEND.
SO, I HAD DONE IT WHEN I WAS
FIRST MARRIED.
MAYBE THEY STILL DO THIS, THEY
DO OFFER YOU, IF YOU HAVE A FILM
OR SOMETHING, IF YOU COME AND
SHOW IT AND TALK ABOUT IT,
THEY'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE STATE
ROOM, AND, SO, WE DID THAT WHEN
I WAS FIRST MARRIED, AND IT WAS
REALLY FUN.
BUT YOU -- BUT THIS ONE IS SO
HUGE THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW WE
WERE MAKING A FILM.
I MEAN, THERE WERE LITTLE SIGNS
SAYING A FILM IS BEING MADE, BUT
IT'S JUST SODERBERGH WITH THIS
LITTLE BITTY CAMERA.
>> Stephen: OF COURSE.
I WAS THINKING IN MY MIND THIS
IS YOUR SET, BUT IT'S NOT, THEY
ACTUALLY HAVE REGULAR PAYING
CUSTOMERS.
DID ANYBODY SNAP THEIR HEAD
AROUND?
>> NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE NOT AS
ATTRACTIVE AS A MIDNIGHT SHRIMP
BUFFET BECAUSE I KNOW PEOPLE
JUST EAT FROM HELL TO BREAKFAST
ON THESE BOATS, RIGHT?
>> WELL, THEY EAT AND THEY
GAMBLE AND THEY DANCE AND IT'S
PRETTY -- THE GREATEST THING IS
REALLY THAT MOMENT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE OCEAN, IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE NIGHT, YOU GO OUT ON THE
DECK, AND YOU'RE SO FAR FROM
EVERYTHING.
IN FACT, THEY TELL YOU WHEN YOU
FIRST GET ON, THERE'S A POINT
WHERE, IF ANYTHING TERRIBLE
HAPPENS, NOBODY COULD REALLY GET
THERE IN TIME, YOU KNOW, THERE'S
NO WAY TO LAND OR ANYTHING,
SO --
>> Stephen: WOW.
AND YOU HAVE THAT FEELING,
YOU KNOW, OF PEOPLE NAVIGATING
BY CELESTIAL NAVIGATION.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT PEOPLE
MAKING THAT CROSSING UNDER THE
MOST HORRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCES,
EVERYONE, THE SLAVE SHIPS AND
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GOING BACK AND
FORTH TO THE COURT OF LOUIE
WHATEVER, AND I JUST THOUGHT,
WOW...
IT REALLY IS AWE-INSPIRING TO
SEE THE NIGHT SKY WITH
ABSOLUTELY NO AMBIENT LIGHT.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU SET THE
CLIP UP FOR OUR AUDIENCE?
>> THIS IS THE VERY FIRST --
THIS IS THE VERY FIRST NIGHT ON
THE SHIP, WHERE WE'RE JUST
GETTING TOGETHER AND SETTING UP
WHAT EVERYBODY CAN EXPECT, AND
THEY'VE ALL AGREED TO COME.
THESE ARE MY COLLEGE ROOMMATES.
THEY'VE AGREED TO COME FOR
DIFFERENT REASONS, AND THAT SORT
OF BECOMES APPARENT.
>> Stephen: JIM?
HERE'S TO PICKING UP THE
CONVERSATION THAT WE LEFT OFF,
YOU KNOW, AND HERE'S TO MAYBE
RECONNECTING THE GANG OF THREE
WE USED TO BE.
>> CHEERS.
YEAH, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
HAVE A GOOD ONE.
GOOD NIGHT.
THANK YOU.
>> GOOD NIGHT.
HEY, BERT, YOU WANT TO GO
HAVE A DRINK LATER?
>> NO, I CAN'T.

THE 2018 BROADWAY MUSICAL.
YOU PLAY A WOMAN NAMED
DEDeALLEN AND YOU DESCRIBE
HER, FOR CBS I'LL SAY A BIG
A-HOLE, AND YOU TRIED VERY HARD
TO BRING THAT PART OF ME
FORWARD.
HOW FAR DID YOU HAVE TO REACH
FOR THAT PART OF YOU?
I'M AFRAID IF I DID THAT I'D GET
OUT THE SPADE AND GO, ALL RIGHT,
I'M ALREADY THERE.
IT'S A LITTLE FRIGHTENING TO
REACH FOR THAT IN CASE IT'S TOO
EASY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S A BIG --
>> WELL, SHE SAYS -- SHE'S
SOMEONE -- OH, SHE'S VERY DEAR,
YOU KNOW, SHE'S A DIVA.
>> Stephen: SHE'S A HUGE STAGE
PRESENCE, FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
DON'T KNOW.
>> SHE'S A HUGE PRESENCE, A BIG
BROADWAY STAR, AND PROBABLY PAST
HER SELL-BY DATE, AND KIND OF
SUSPECTS THAT THAT'S TRUE, AND
SHE'S PULLED UP EVERYTHING THAT
YOU CAN PULL UP AND SHE'S, YOU
KNOW, HAD THE BUNIONS CUT OFF
AND SHE'S REALLY TRIED, AND
EVERYTHING'S GOING, AND, ANYWAY,
IN A LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO REVIVE
HER FLAGGING CREEK, SHE AND HER
FRIENDS CONTRIVE THIS SCHEME TO
HELP, IN SOME WAY, MAKE A BIG
SOCIAL STATEMENT AND GET SOME
GOOD PUBLICITY FOR ONCE BECAUSE,
REALLY, THEIR CAREERS ARE
FLAGGING.
>> Stephen: IT'S SORT OF BASED
AROUND A HIGH SCHOOL PROM.
DID YOU GO TO PROM?
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR PROM?
>> SURE.
I WENT TO SIX PROMISE, I THINK.
>> Stephen: SIX?
WAIT A SECOND, SIX PROMISE?
HOW LONG WERE YOU IN HIGH SCHO
SCHOOL?
>> IS THAT -- TWO EACH YEAR
FOR --
>> Stephen: OH, OKAY.
FOR A FEW YEARS.
ANYWAY -- BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE
JUNIOR PROM, THE SENIOR PROM,
EVERYBODY HAS TO GO TO
EVERYTHING.
>> Stephen: MM-HMM.
I WENT TO PROM, MY FIRST PROM
WHEN I WAS 14, AND I WENT WITH A
SENIOR TO THE SENIOR PROM.
I CAN'T BELIEVE MY FATHER LET ME
DO THIS.
>> Stephen: I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT EITHER.
>> WITH A BIG FOOTBALL PLAYER.
SO, ANYWAY, I WENT, I HAD A
LITTLE DRESS THAT MY MOTHER HAD
MADE, AND IT HAD LITTLE
SPAGHETTI STRAPS -- PEOPLE DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE
ANYMORE, BUT THEY ARE STRAPS AS
THIN AS SPA GETY.
I TOOK THE PICTURES WITH MY
PARENTS AND WALKED OUT TO THE
CAR AND SAT DOWN IN THE CAR AND
BOTH OF THEM POPPED OFF.
AND I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO HOLD THIS DRESS UP
WITH WITHOUT THE SPAGHETTI, SO I
SPENT THE WHOLE PROM LIKE, YOU
KNOW, DANCING, HOLDING THE THING

WE'RE BACK WITH MERYL STREEP.
HAVE YOU READ THE PRESIDENT'S
NEW BOOK?
>> I HAVE NOT.
NOT YET.
I WOULD LOVE TO.
>> Stephen: IT'S VERY GOOD,
ACTUALLY.
THE GUY KNOWS HOW TO WRITE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND I HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT IN THE
LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS BECAUSE I
INTERVIEWED HIM FOR THE SHOW,
AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU
AWARE OF SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENS -- YOU'RE IN THIS.
YOU'RE ON PAGE 541.
I'M NOT IN THIS BOOK, AND I DID
A LOT WITH THE PRESIDENT.
I'M NOT IN THE DANIEL BOOK, BUT
YOU'RE IN THE BOOK.
>> WOW.
>> Stephen: ON PAGE 542 HE'S
TALKING ABOUT SORT OF ARTISTS
AND ENTERTAINERS AND THE
CULTURAL HUB THAT THEY WANTED
THE WHITE HOUSE TO BE AND ONE OF
THE THING HE MENTIONED IS MERYL
STREEP LEANING OVER TO SOFTLY
RECITE IN MANDARIN THE LYRICS TO
A SONG ABOUT CLOUDS THAT SHE HAD
LEARNED FOR A PART YEARS AGO.
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT MOMENT?
>> I -- I DO REMEMBER THAT
MOMENT, YES.
HE GOT THE STORY A LITTLE BIT
WRONG.
HE'S A VERY GOOD WRITER BUT HIS
MEMORY IS --
>> Stephen: LET'S FACT CHECK
THE PRESIDENT HERE.
WHAT WAS THE REALITY?
IT WASN'T FOR A PART?
WASN'T MANDARIN?
>> YEAH, IT WAS A POEM -- I HAD
JUST GOTTEN BACK, ACTUALLY, FROM
THIS TRIP TO BEIJING WITH A
CULTURAL -- IT WAS A CULTURAL
KIND OF EXCHANGE THING AND I
WENT WITH YO-YO MAN, A BUNCH OF
PERFORMERS AND WE WERE TO BE IN
THE BIG NEST STADIUM WITH 7,000
PEOPLE, AND WE WERE GOING TO GO
A CONCERT, AND YO-YO AND I WERE
GOING TO DO A VERY FAMOUS, LIKE,
FOURTH CENTURY CHINESE POEM THAT
EVERYONE KNOWS, AND I WAS GOING
TO DO IT FIRST IN ENGLISH AND
THEN IN CHINESE.
AND AT THE LAST MOMENT, WE HEARD
THAT THE CULTURAL MINISTER WAS
COMING, WHO WAS AN EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT PERSON, AND THEY THREW
US ALL AGAINST THE WALLS AND
SPRITZED US, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
THIS WAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT
PERSON WITH HER 40-PERSON
ENTOURAGE AND SHE TOOK THE FIRST
TIER AND SAT LIKE THIS, AND WE
WERE ALL TERRIFIED.
AND I HAD LEARNED THE POEM IN
MANDARIN, AND I HAD LEARNED IT,
OBVIOUSLY, IN ENGLISH, AND YO-YO
WOULD WEAVE IN HIS MUSIC IN
BETWEEN, WE HAD PRACTICED THIS.
BUT IN CHINESE, THE SAME WORD
CAN BE TRANSLATED AS A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING.
FAMOUSLY, THERE'S A STORY
THAT -- AND I'M PROBABLY GOING
TO GET IT WRONG -- BUT MA MEANS
MOMMA, MA.
BUT MA MEANS FORC HORSE AND MA S
HOOKER
( DIFFERENT PRONUNCIATIONS )
>> Stephen: YOU WANT TO GET
THE THREE RIGHT BEFORE YOU
SADDLE UP.
>> BEFORE YOU SADDLE UP.
AND, SO, I THOUGHT, OH, MY GOD
AM I GOING TO BE SAYING, YOU
KNOW, YOUR MOTHER EATS ROCKS
POOLSIDE, YOU KNOW, OR
SOMETHING, INSTEAD OF WHAT THE
POEM WAS, AND I SO WAS TERRIFIED
THAT I CHICKENED OUT, AND I SAID
THE POEM IN ENGLISH, AND YO-YO
PLAYED THE MUSIC, AND THEN I
MEANT TO START UP INTO MAN TRINE
AND I JUST -- MANDARIN AND I
JUST LOOKED AT HIM AND SMILED,
AND HE WENT CROSS-EYED AND KIND
OF FINISHED UP, AND THEN WE BOTH
BOWED.
IT WAS REALLY, BECAUSE OF HIS
ART INDUSTRY, IT WAS A --
ARTSRY, IT WAS A WONDERFUL
MOMENT.
PEOPLE LOVED IT.
BUT I STILL REMEMBER THE POEM.
>> Stephen: DO YOU STILL
REMEMBER IT?
CAN YOU GIVE US A LITTLE TASTE.
>> NOW?
>> Stephen: IS IT POSSIBLE?
I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE
SPOT OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT I
DO.
>> YES.
OKAY.
IT'S ACTUALLY -- IT'S ACTUALLY
KIND OF A GREAT POEM FOR THE
QUARANTINE BECAUSE IT'S -- IT'S,
ON THE MISTY MOUNTAIN, ALONE ON
A MISTY MOUNTAIN I COME TO A
CLEARING.
SUNLIGHT ON GREEN MOSS.
I AM NOT ALONE.
SO THAT'S THE POEM.
AND IT'S --
( REPEATING POEM IN MANDARI MAN)
THAT'S IT. >> Stephen: THANK YOU. EWE RARELY GET MANDARIN POETRY
IN LATE NIGHT THESE DAYS.
>> YES, BUT, SINCE ONE IN FIVE
PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH
IS CHINESE, THEY WILL KNOW NOW
THAT I HAVE JUST SAID SOMETHING
HORRIBLE, PROBABLY.
>> Stephen: BUT MY RATINGS ARE
GOING TO BE HUGE IN BEIJING!
>> INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT
(LAUGHING).
>> Stephen: MERYL, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
