WELL THANK YOU!
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE MY FAVORITE KIND OF PEOPLE, FULLY VACCINATED AND
CHANTING MY NAME.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WE'VE BEEN OFF FOR TWO WEEKS AND
I COMPLETELY UNPLUGGED FROM THE NEWS.
PLUGGED IN AGAIN LAST NIGHT, AND NOW I NEED A VACATION.
( LAUGHTER ) THE NEWS IS A LITTLE ROUGH.
THERE'S A FOURTH WAVE OF CORONAVIRUS, WE JUST GOT A
GLOBAL WARMING RED ALERT FOR HUMANITY, THERE ARE WILDFIRES
CONSUMING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND GREECE, SO NATURALLY THERE'S
ONE QUESTION ON EVERYONE'S MIND: DID I GO TO BARACK OBAMA'S
BIRTHDAY PARTY?
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERING )
( APPLAUSE ) >> Jon: I SAW.
>> Stephen: I KNOW.
SEE, THIS WEEKEND OBAMA TURNED 60.
IN JUST 18 YEARS, HE'LL BE OLD ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT.
( LAUGHTER ) HE DECIDED TO CELEBRATE BY
THROWING A HUGE BLOWOUT ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD.
EVERYBODY WHO IS ANYBODY WAS GOING TO BE THERE, INCLUDING
YOURS TRULY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Jon: HEY!
>> Stephen: HERE'S THE THING -- A HOT TICKET IS WHAT IT
WAS.
BUT GIVEN THE WHOLE PANDEMIC THING AND THE DELTA VARIANT, A
CELEBRITY MOSH PIT WAS MAYBE NOT THE WISEST CHOICE, SO OBAMA
SCALED BACK THE GUEST LIST FOR HIS PARTY.
HE WAS FORCED TO LIMIT THE INVITES TO ONLY HIS CLOSEST
BEYONCES.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW, "THE NEW YORK TIMES" SAYS
THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE MISSED OUT.
FOR INSTANCE, THEY CLAIM THAT LATE-NIGHT TALK SHOW HOSTS DAVID
LETTERMAN AND CONAN O'BRIEN WERE CUT FROM THE GUEST LIST.
BUT YOU KNOW WHO THEY SAY WASN'T?
COMEDIAN STEPHEN COLBERT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Jon: HEY!
>> Stephen: YEAH.
I MEAN -- IT MAKES SENSE, I AM KNOWN TO
FILL IN WHEN LETTERMAN DROPS OUT OF SOMETHING.
( LAUGHTER ) AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING:
SO, STEVE, WHAT WAS THE PARTY LIKE?
( LAUGHTER ) I DON'T KNOW.
( LAUGHTER ) I DIDN'T GO.
IN THE MASSIVE SCALING BACK, I GOT SCALED.
( LAUGHTER ) AS SOON AS WE HEARD, EVIE SAID,
"THAT MAKES SENSE, COMEDIANS SHOULD BE THE FIRST PEOPLE
CUT."
AND I DON'T THINK SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT JUST PARTIES.
I THINK SHE MEANT THINGS LIKE LIFEBOATS AND STUFF LIKE THAT,
TOO.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW, THE NEWS THAT I DIDN'T GO
MIGHT BE NEWS TO SOME PEOPLE IN THE NEWS.
THE "BOSTON HERALD" REPORTED THAT THE GUESTS INCLUDED
LATE-NIGHT HOST STEPHEN COLBERT AND HIS WIFE, EVELYN, WHO ALSO
OWN PROPERTY THERE.
WHICH, OF COURSE, LEADS TO THE QUESTION:
SO, STEVE, WHAT'S YOUR HOUSE LIKE ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD?
( APPLAUSE ) I HAVE NO IDEA.
"BOSTON HERALD," COULD YOU PLEASE SEND ME THE ADDRESS AND
THE KEYS AND MAYBE THE ALARM CODE?
I'D LOVE TO STAY THERE SOMEDAY.
I DON'T OWN A HOUSE ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) HERE'S "DAILY MAIL, TOO.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED: WE WERE INVITED.
HONORED TO BE.
TOTALLY GOING.
EVIE GOT A NICE DRESS.
I GOT A NICE JACKET, REALLY NICE PANTS, EXPENSIVE ENOUGH TO
GIVE YOU AN ITALIAN ASS.
WE BOOKED A FLIGHT, GOT A HOTEL.
AND THEN, FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE PARTY, I GOT A VOICEMAIL SAYING
THEY WERE SCALING BACK.
MESSAGE RECEIVED.
ONCE WE CALLED THEM BACK AND SAID "SO, ARE WE CUT, OR WAS
THIS JUST AN F.Y.I.?" THEY SAID, NO --
( PIANO RIFF ) ( LAUGHTER )
-- BUT WE HAD THE FLIGHT, WE HAD THE HOTEL, SO EVIE WONDERED IF
WE COULD STILL GO TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD, AND SINCE IT WAS ALL
NONREFUNDABLE, I SAID, "YES, WE CAN."
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
AND I GUESS THAT'S WHY THE PRESS THOUGHT I WAS STILL INVITED,
BECAUSE "DAILY MAIL" SPOTTED ME IN THE AIRPORT, IN ALL OF MY
CELEBRITY GLAMOUR.
WORK!
YOU BETTER WORK WORK WORK!
FANTASTIC!
AND I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY PRINTED THOSE BECAUSE LOOK AT
THOSE LEGS.
COME ON, BABY!
WE KNOW THAT SEX SELLS!
ANYWAY, WE DIDN'T GO TO THE PARTY, BUT STILL HAD FUN.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL ISLAND.
IT JUST GOES TO SHOW, KIDS, THAT IF YOU WORK HARD, PUT IN YOUR
TIME, AND GET THE NUMBER ONE SHOW IN LATE NIGHT TELEVISION,
YOU TOO CAN GET DISINVITED FROM THE COOL KIDS' PARTY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) BY THE WAY --
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) TRUE STORY.
TRUE.
BY THE WAY, MR. FORMER PRESIDENT, MY OWN 60TH BIRTHDAY
IS COMING UP IN THREE YEARS, AND YOU, SIR, ARE NOT... GOING TO
WANT TO MISS IT.
PLEASE COME.
I'D BE SO HONORED YOU CAME.
I'D SCALE ME BACK JUST TO MAKE ROOM FOR YOU.
AND MY SHELL, OBVIOUSLY.
IT'S NOT JUST OBAMA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.
THE DELTA VARIANT IS RUINING A LOT OF PLANS.
I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT IN MY NEWEST VIRAL SEGMENT, "THE DELTA
BLUES."
♪ DOWN AT THE CROSSROADS BETTER GET MY SHOT ♪
♪ YEAH, WE'RE DOWN AT THE CROSSROADS, BETTER WATCH YOUR IS
NOT ♪ ♪ ASKED THE LORD ABOVE FOR MERCY
'CAUSE COVID SUCKS A LOT ♪ ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: NICELY DONE.
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.
SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL FOR THAT SONG.
( LAUGHTER ) EARLIER THIS SUMMER, IT LOOKED
LIKE THE PANDEMIC MIGHT BE ENDING.
IN JUNE, THE U.S. WAS AVERAGING ABOUT 11,000 CASES A DAY, BUT
THANKS TO THE DELTA VARIANT, WE'RE RIGHT BACK IN "MUDDY
WATERS," BECAUSE NOW THE NUMBER IS OVER 100,000.
HOLD ON ONE SECOND.
OKAY.
IT WAS 1 1 -- IT WAS 11,000 THE BEGINNING OF MAY.
IT WAS 107,000 TWO MONTHS AGO.
IT'S GOT A REPRODUCTION RATE OF R-8, CARRY THE 1, THAT EQUALS --
( LAUGHTER ) OMIGOD, SOMEONE ELSE TOUCHED
THIS MACHINE!
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, THERE YOU GO.
THERE YOU GO, BUDDY.
THERE YOU GO.
OH, I'VE MISSED YOU VODKA HANDS.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
THIS FOURTH WAVE IS BEING CAUSED BY THE DELTA VARIANT, WHICH HAS
A SHORTER INCUBATION PERIOD AND SPREADS MUCH FASTER THAN COVID
CLASSIC, AS ONE EPIDEMIOLOGIST EXPLAINED:
>> THIS IS MAYBE THE MOST CONTAGIOUS VIRUS THAT WE'VE EVER
SEEN IN LIVING EMORY.
>> STEPHEN: YES, IT'S GOING THROUGH AMERICA FASTER THAN MONO
THROUGH A HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA CLUB.
L( LAUGHTER ) OF COURSE, HE'S JUST ONE GUY.
WHAT DOES HE KNOW?
HIS NAME IS ONLY DOCTOR LARRY BRILLIANT.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
I WANT A SECOND OPINION THAT SAYS EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE
OKAY.
SOMEBODY CALL DOCTOR BOBBY DUM-ASS.
AS WITH ALL BAD NEWS, THERE'S BAD, AND THEN THERE'S FLORIDA,
WHICH HAS BROKEN ITS OWN RECORD FOR NEW CORONAVIRUS
CASES.
LOOK HOW RED AND INFLAMED THAT THING IS.
SOMEONE BETTER WRUB SOME OINTMENT ON THE PANHANDLE!
ONE TV DOCTOR EXPLAINED IT THIS WAY:
>> IT'S SO HIGH IN FLORIDA THAT I THINK THAT IF FLORIDA WERE
ANOTHER COUNTRY, WE WOULD HAVE TO CONSIDER BANNING TRAVEL FROM
FLORIDA TO THE UNITED STATES.
>> Stephen: GOOD LUCK!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) YOU CAN CLAP ALL YOU WANT, YOU
WILL NEVER KEEP FLORIDIANS OUT.
YOU COULD BUILD A WALL, BUT THEY'D JUST POUND MOJITOS AND
BANANA BOAT RIGHT OVER IT.
( LAUGHTER ) THERE'S ONE FLORIDA MAN WHO'S
NOT WORRIED: GOVERNOR AND CAVEMAN ASKING --
( BOOING ) >> Stephen: -- HOLD FOR BOOING -
( LAUGHTER ) -- RON DeSANTIS.
DESANTIS ISN'T WORRIED.
HE SAYS THAT THE SPIKE IS SEASONAL, AS FLORIDIANS SPEND
MORE TIME TOGETHER INDOORS TO ESCAPE THE SUMMER HEAT.
IT'S JUST LIKE WHEN THE GOVERNOR OF POMPEII ANNOUNCED, "HEY GUYS!
IGNORE THE RAIN OF ASH!
IT'S JUST VOLCANO SEASON!
OKAY, LET'S ALL MAKE A FUN POSE FOR NO REASON!"
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) TOO SOON?
IT'S NOT JUST THE PLAGUE THAT KEEPS GETTING WORSE.
IT'S ALSO NEW YORK GOVERNOR AND GUY HEARING --
( BOOING ) >> Stephen: THAT'S CALLED AN
INSTA-POLL WE DID RIGHT THERE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: NEW YORK GOVERNOR
AND GUY HEARING THE NEWS ABOUT ANDREW CUOMO, ANDREW CUOMO.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT HE MAY NOT BE GOVERNOR MUCH
LONGER GIVEN THE REPORT THAT JUST DROPPED FROM THE NEW YORK
ATTORNEY GENERAL, WHICH FOUND THAT CUOMO SEXUALLY HARASSED
MULTIPLE CURRENT AND FORMER STAFFERS AS WELL AS WOMEN WHO
DID NOT WORK FOR HIS ADMINISTRATION.
SO, HE ONLY HARASSED TWO KINDS OF WOMEN: THOSE WHO WORKED FOR
HIM AND THOSE WHO DID NOT.
( LAUGHTER ) THE REPORT CONFIRMS ACCUSATIONS
MADE BY 11 WOMEN AGAINST CUOMO, AND INCLUDES DISTURBING DETAILS
LIKE HE ALLEGEDLY, RAN TWO FINGERS ACROSS THE CHESTOF AN
ENERGY COMPANY EMPLOYEE, GRABBED THE REAR OF AN UNNAMED EMPLOYEE
AND ASKED AN AIDE IF SHE HAD PIERCINGS ANYWHERE OTHER THAN
HER EARS.
INTERESTING QUESTION, GOVERNOR.
FOLLOW UP: DO YOU HAVE PIERCINGS ANYWHERE OTHER THAN YOUR
NIPPLES?
( LAUGHTER ) JOKE'S BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
( LAUGHTER ) THE DAY THE REPORT DROPPED, THE
GOVERNOR RESPONDED IN A LENGTHY PRE-RECORDED VIDEO THAT MAYBE
DIDN'T ADDRESS ALL THE ACCUSATIONS.
>> "THE NEW YORK TIMES" PUBLISHED A FRONT-PAGE PICTURE
OF ME TOUCHING A WOMAN'S FACE AT A WEDDING ND KISSING HER ON THE
CHEEK.
THAT IS NOT FRONT-PAGE NEWS.
I HAVE BEEN MAKING THE SAME GESTURE IN PUBLIC ALL OF
MY LIFE.
I ACTUALLY LEARNED IT FROM MY MOTHER AND MY FATHER.
IT IS MEANT TO CONVEY WARMTH.
NOTHING MORE.
INDEED, THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS OF ME
USING THAT SAME GESTURE.
I DO IT WITH EVERYONE-- BLACK AND WHITE, YOUNG AND OLD,
STRAIGHT AND L.G.B.T.Q.
POWERFUL PEOPLE, FRIENDS, STRANGERS, PEOPLE WHO I MEET ON
THE STREET.
>> STEPHEN: (AS CUOMO) "I'M NOT A HARASSER BECAUSE I DO
IT TO EVERYONE.
( LAUGHTER ) NO ONE'S SAFE!
BLACK, WHITE, STRAIGHT, GAY, CONSENTING, NON-CONSENTING
THOSE WHO SEE IT COMING, THOSE WHO ARE SURPRISED, SLEEPING
PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHO ARE AWAKE, BUT WHO ARE WISHING THIS WERE
ALL A BAD DREAM!
I LEARNED IT FROM MY FOLKS!
IT'S A FAMILY RECIPE!" ALSO, KISSING PEOPLE ON THE
CHEEK IS NOT WHAT HE'S BEING ACCUSED OF.
THAT'S LIKE JEFFREY DAHMER APOLOGIZING FOR NOT HAVING A
PERMIT TO GRILL.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW, IN LIGHT OF THE REPORT,
MANY DEMOCRATS HAVE CALLED FOR CUOMO TO RESIGN, INCLUDING
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.
YOU HEAR THAT?
JOE BIDEN KNOWS YOU DON'T TOUCH WOMEN LIKE THAT.
YOU SMELL THEIR HAIR AND GET BACK TO WORK.
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT.
MY GUESTS ARE STEPHEN KING AND "BLACK PANTHER" STAR WINSTON
DUKE.
BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, SHOULD CELEBRITIES WASH THEIR CHILDREN?
THE ANSWER MAY SURPRISE YOU.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
I LOVE THE OUTFIT YOU'VE GOT ON TONIGHT.

I'M TALKING TO THE ONE AND ONLY STEPHEN KING TONIGHT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) AND THIS GUY, WINSTON DUKE, YOU
SAW "BLACK PANTHER," YOU KNOW M'BAKU.
>> Jon: ABSOLUTELY.
>> Stephen: M'BAKU IS HERE.
HE'S HERE.
HE'S A BIG GUY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) HE'S NOT JUST BIG.
HE'S BIG IN THE MOVIES.
YOU SEE A BIG GUY IN A MOVIE AND YOU MEET HIM, HE'S LIKE 5-2.
>> Jon: LIKE THE ROCK.
>> Stephen: THIS GUY IS 6'5 AND A HALF.
HE EEKS ACTUALLY BIG.
WE HAVE M'BAKU TONIGHT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE I HAVE BEEN
GONE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN HARD FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GET ALL
YOUR SPORTS NEWS FROM ME.
( LAUGHTER ) FIRST, WHY DO YOU DO THAT?
SECOND, THE OLYMPICS HAPPENED!
THEY WERE GREAT!
AS ALWAYS, I'M INSPIRED BY THE ATHLETES AND THE FEELING OF
INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD.
BECAUSE THE OLYMPICS ARE REALLY ABOUT THE FACT THAT ALL OF US,
NO MATTER OUR COUNTRY, HAVE SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON THAN WE
REALIZE.
AND IT'S IN THAT SPIRIT OF GLOBAL HARMONY THAT I WANT TO
SAY AMERICA WON MORE GOLD MEDALS THAN CHINA!
SUCK IT, XI JINPING!
U-S-A!
THANK YOU!
OF COURSE, THE GAMES WERE A LOT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR DUE TO
COVID.
AND WITH CASES ON THE RISE, BOTH THE VACCINATED AND UNVACCINATED
HAVE THE SAME QUESTION: WHAT KIND OF BUBBLE BATHS ARE
CELEBRITIES TAKING?
( LAUGHTER ) I DON'T KNOW.
AGAIN, I DIDN'T GO TO THE PARTY.
BUT SOMEONE HAS THE ANSWERS.
AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT IN MY NEW SEGMENT: "A-LIST TUB
TIME WITH THE SOAPY STARS."
FIRST IN THE TUB, MILA KUNIS, -- ASHTON KUTCHER WHO IN A
RECENT INTERVIEW REVEALED HE AND HIS SCRUBBER MILA KUNIS
WHO IN A RECENT INTERVIEW REVEALED THAT SHE AND SCRUBBIN'
HUBBY ASHTON KUTCHER DON'T WASH THEIR TWO CHILDREN EVERY DAY.
OKAY!
NOT THE KUNIS-KUTCHER BUBBLE BATH REVEAL WE WERE HOPING FOR.
KUNIS EXPLAINED, "IF YOU CAN SEE THE DIRT ON THEM, CLEAN THEM.
OTHERWISE, THERE'S NO POINT."
THAT SOUNDS LESS LIKE THE POLICY FOR CLEANING YOUR KIDS AND MORE
LIKE THE POLICY FOR CLEANING YOUR BUICK.
"IT'S SUPPOSED TO RAIN TONIGHT.
JUST LEAVE MCKENZIE IN THE DRIVEWAY."
THIS INTERVIEW SENT MAJOR WAVES THROUGH THE CELEBRITY
SCRUB-O-SPHERE.
KRISTEN BELL SIDED WITH TEAM DON'T-BATHE-YOUR-KIDS, SAYING
"I'M A BIG FAN OF WAITING FOR THE STINK.
ONCE YOU CATCH A WHIFF, THAT'S BIOLOGY'S WAY OF LETTING YOU
KNOW YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT UP."
I DON'T LIKE TO COMMENT ON ANYONE ELSE'S PARENTING, BUT I
WILL POINT OUT THAT BOTH MILA KUNIS AND KRISTEN BELL DID STAR
IN THE FILM "BAD MOMS."
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
THEN JAKE GYLLENHAAL HOPPED INTO THE CONTROVERSY TUB, TELLING
"VANITY FAIR," "MORE AND MORE I FIND BATHING TO BE LESS
NECESSARY.
WE NATURALLY CLEAN OURSELVES."
EITHER YOU'RE THINKING OF CATS, OR I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE THAT
FLEXIBLE.
( LAUGHTER ) HE COULD DO IT.
I BELIEVE IT.
HE CAN DO IT ALL.
I BET HE COULD DO IT.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW, INTERESTINGLY, GYLLENHAAL
SAID ALL THIS WHILE ADVERTISING HIS NEW FRAGRANCE LINE.
THAT FRAGRANCE: B. EAU.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT IF YOU'RE IN A LATHER ABOUT
CELEBRITIES WHO WON'T LATHER, THERE'S GOOD NEWS FROM
DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON, WHO SAYS HE SHOWERS THREE TIMES A
DAY.
I ASSUME THAT'S BECAUSE IT TAKES THREE ATTEMPTS FOR THE WATER TO
COVER HIS ENTIRE BODY.
"THIS SHOWER'S JUST FOR MY TRAPS."
DWAYNE WENT INTO EXTREME DETAIL DESCRIBING HIS ROUTINE,
TWEETING, "SHOWER-- COLD-- WHEN I ROLL OUTTA BED TO GET
MY DAY ROLLIN'.
SHOWER-- WARM-- AFTER MY WORKOUT BEFORE WORK.
SHOWER-- HOT-- AFTER I GET HOME FROM WORK.
FACE WASH, BODY WASH, EXFOLIATE."
AND BECAUSE HE'S THE ROCK, HIS LOOFAH IS A HAY BALE.
( LAUGHTER ) WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH STEPHEN
KING.

OVER THE ZOOM, WE DID INTERVIEWS OVER THE ZOOM IN THE LAST 16,
HOWEVER LONG IT WAS WE WERE ALL LOCKED DOWN.
YOU KNOW, FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO DON'T KNOW, YOU'VE GOT
A PLACE IN THE STATE OF MAINE, YOU'VE LIVED THERE YOUR ENTIRE
LIFE.
HAVE PROPERTY VALUES SHOT THROUGH THE ROOF?
I HEAR YOU CAN'T TOUCH PROPERTY THERE.
>> IT'S TOUGH.
PROPERTY IS, BOOP!

YOU'RE ALSO PROLIFIC ON TWITTER.
I FOLLOW YOU ON TWITTER.
PEOPLE ENJOY YOUR TWITTER FEED.
YOU HAVE BEEN PARTICULARLY ELOQUENT ABOUT GOVERNOR RON
DeSANTIS OF FLORIDA.
IS THERE A CHANCE IN THE FUTURE WE MIGHT SEE A FLORIDA GOVERNOR
AS A VILLAIN?
( LAUGHTER ) OF ONE OF YOUR NOVELS?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> WELL, THAT'S ENTIRELY
POSSIBLE.
YOU KNOW, THE THING IS, LIKE, I KNOW THE GUY FAIRLY UPCLOSE
BECAUSE WE LIVE HALF OF THE YEAR IN FLORIDA.
NOW, I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO GO, BUT ONCE YOU GET TO BE 65 AND
YOU DON'T PLAY TENNIS VERY WELL, IT'S THE LAW.
>> Stephen: THEY COME AND GET YOU.
>> YEAH, THEY COME AND GET YOU ANYWAY, YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU SAID THIS RECENTLY, YOU SAID DeSANTIS'
POLICIES ARE RIGHT WING, THE INDIVIDUAL RULES AND TO HELL
WITH WHAT HAPPENS POLICIES, THEY'RE TURNING A BEAUTIFUL
STATE INTO A BIG I.C.U. WARD WHERE EVEN HEALTHY PEOPLE CAN
BARELY BREATHE.
>> YEAH.
WELL, IT ISN'T JUST COVID.
COVID IS BAD ENOUGH.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A RETAINMENT POOL AT PINEY POINT,
AND NOBODY TOOK CARE OF IT, AND IT GOT OLD, AND IT WAS GOING TO
BURST.
AND, SO, THEY VENTED IT.
THIS IS ONLY DeSANTIS COULD DO THIS.
ONLY DeSANTIS COULD REALLY THINK OF THIS.
THEY VENTED IT INTO TAMPA BAY, AND, AS A RESULT, RED TIDE IS SO
BAD THERE, THERE'S NO QUESTIONS ABOUT MASKS ON THE WEST COAST OF
FLORIDA BECAUSE THE RED TIDE IS SO BAD THAT YOU HAVE TO WEAR A
MASK, AND THERE ARE TONS AND TONS OF FISH THAT ARE DEAD ON
THE BEACH, AND, SO, IT ISN'T JUST COVID.
RON DeSANTIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE BRIGHTEST BULB IN THE
CHANDELIER AT THE BEST OF TIMES.
>> Stephen: NOT A GENIUS.
NO, I WOULDN'T SAY SO.
>> Stephen: NOT A MASTER MIND.
HE'S GOT THAT DEER IN THE HEAD LIGHTS LOOK SOMEHOW.
( LAUGHTER ) SO, UH --
>> Stephen: DEER IN THE HEAD LIGHTS HOPING THAT'S TWO
MOTORCYCLES THAT ARE GOING TO GO RIGHT BY HIM.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: AS A WRITER, HOW
IS THE REALITY OF COVID AND WHAT WE IN THE UNITED STATES AND WHAT
EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD HAS GONE THROUGH, THIS UNPRECEDENTED
THING IN THE LAST 100 YEARS, HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WILL AFFECT
YOUR FICTION OR REALLY THE FICTION OF ANY WRITERS BECAUSE
HOW COULD YOU WRITE ABOUT THE TIME WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW AND NOT
INCLUDE THAT?
>> WELL, I STARTED "BILLY SUMMERS," THE NEW ONE, IN 2000
AND -- OH, THANK YOU!
GOD BLESS YOU!
>> Stephen: IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO GET OUT THERE THE NEWS THAT
YOU WRITE BOOKS.
> THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS,
WHEN YOU PUBLISHED A NEW BOOK, YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT SOMEWHERE
AND SHAKE YOUR AS A LITTLE BIT.
>> Stephen: WORK THAT MONEYMAKER.
>> SHAKE THAT MON GAINEYMAKER, BABY.
I STARTED IN 2019, AND THERE WAS NO COVID THEN, AND I HAD A
COUPLE OF CHARACTERS THAT I HAD TO GET OFF THE STAGE FOR REASONS
THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE PLOT.
WE WON'T GO THERE.
BUT, SO, I SAID, YOU KNOW, I TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL PUT THEM ON
A CRUISE SHIP, AND THEN COVID CAME ALONG, AND I SAID, NO, THIS
IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO WORK.
SO WHAT I DID WAS I TOOK THE WHOLE BOOK, WHICH WAS SET IN
2020, AND SHOVED IT BACK TO 2019.
NOW, WRITERS ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR LONG.
SOONER OR LATER, SOMEBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS
THING HEAD ON.
>> Stephen: WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK. DON'T GO AWAY.
WHEN WE COME BACK I'LL ASK STEPHEN KING WHAT STEPHEN KING
FAVORITE STEPHEN KING STORIES ARE.
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!
♪♪ WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW"!
I AM HERE WITH THE AUTHOR OF THE NEW NOVEL "BILLY SUMMERS,"
MR. STEPHEN KING.
AT ONE POINT THE CHARACTER BILLY SUMMERS HERE SAYS WRITING IS
ALSO A KIND OF WAR.
THE STORY IS WHAT YOU CARRY, AND EVERY TIME YOU ADD TO IT, IT
GETS HEAVIER.
ALL OVER THE WORLD, THERE ARE HALF-FINISHED BOOKS BECAUSE THE
WORK GOT TOO HEAVY.
HAVE YOU, STEPHEN KING, EXPERIENCED THAT HEAVINESS?
>> YEAH.
THE WORST CASE, I WROTE A BOOK CALLED "THE STAND "-- .
>> Stephen: VERY SALIENT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> ABOUT A MUTATING FLU VIRUS.
ANY SIMILARITIES TO WHAT'S GOING ON NOW ARE TOO CLOSE FOR
COMFORT.
BUT I GOT ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THAT BOOK AND I GOT THESE PEOPLE
TO BOULDER, COLORADO, AND BY THAT TIME I HAD A HUGE CAST OF
CHARACTERS WHO WERE 20 OR 25, AND I THOUGHT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE.
THEY'VE GOT TO REST IN THIS ONE PLACE, AND THE BOOK STAYED ON A
SHELF FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS WHILE I JUST WENT FOR LONG WALKS
AND TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE STORY.
AND THE WORST THING WAS I WAS THINKING, WHAT IF THIS THING
NEVER GETS DONE?
YOU TALK ABOUT HEAVY, THAT WAS PRETTY HEAVY.
AND THEN I REMEMBER SOMETHING THAT RAYMOND CHANDLER SAID, HE
SAID, WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT, BRING ON THE MAN
WITH THE GUN.
I THOUGHT, WELL, WHAT IF SOMEBODY BLOWS UP ABOUT HALF OF
THESE TROUBLESOME PEOPLE, I CAN DEAL WITH THE ONES THAT ARE
LEFT, AND THAT'S WHAT I DID.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S SIMPLE.
ALL RIGHT, YOUR FANS ALL HAVE THEIR FAVORITE STEPHEN KING
BOOKS.
DO YOU HAVE -- >> WE HOPE.
>> Stephen: THEY DO OR ELSE THEY WOULDN'T BE FANS.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR FAVORITE?
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP FIVE BOOKS OR SHORT STORIES OF STEPHEN KING,
STEPHEN KING?
( LAUGHTER ) >> WELL, I THINK --
>> Stephen: WRITE THIS DOWN, CARVE THIS IN STONE.
>> MY FAVORITE SHORT STORY WOULD BE CALLED "SURVIVOR TYPE" WHICH
IS ABOUT A PHYSICIAN STRANDED ON A LITTLE ISLAND AND HE'S
SMUGGLING HEROIN, AND HE'S STARVING, SO HE EATS HIMSELF
PIECE BY PIECE.
>> Stephen: I LIKE THAT, FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
>> THAT IS FAMILY FRIENDLY.
IT COULD BE A DISNEY CARTOON.
I LIKED THE NOVEL "MISERY" A LOT.
THAT WAS KIND OF FUN.
IT WAS A FUN BOOK TO WRITE.
( APPLAUSE ) THIS IS LIKE A LED ZEPPLIN
CONCERT, SORT OF LIKE PLAY "FREE BIRD" AND IT'S ALL GOOD.
>> Stephen: THAT'S TWO.
I LIKE A STORY STREAMING ON APPLE + AND I HELD ON TO THAT
FOR A LONG TIME.
THE STAND.
ONE CALLED "STAND BY ME: THE BODY."
AND "BILLY SUMMERS," THE CURRENT ONE.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I AM NOW PUTTY IN YOUR HANDS.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE KNOWN -- A LOT OF PEOPLE FIRST KNEW YOU
FROM PLAYING M'BAKU, THE LEADER OF THE MOUNTAIN TRIBE SYMBOLIZED
BY THE GORILLA.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: IS IT TRUE BEFORE
YOU PLAYED ABOUT ONE TO HAVE THE GREAT WARRIORS YOU USED TO LIE
ABOUT YOUR HEIGHT TO MAKE YOURSELF SMALLER?
>> ALL THE TIME.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?
>> I'M 6-5 AND AND A HALF AND THE AND A HALF IS A LOT OF
DIFFERENCE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS SO MUCH FOR PEOPLE AND THEY WOULD THINK IT'S
INTIMIDATING.
I STOPPED SAYING THE NUMBER, AND SAY I'M THE ROCK'S HEIGHT OR
SOMEONE ELSE'S HEIGHT.
I WOULD TRY TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS NORMALIZED BEFORE IT WAS.
>> Stephen: THINKING THEY WOULDN'T NOTICE HOW TALL YOU
WERE WHEN YOU CAME IN OR DID YOU ALWAYS JUST -- WERE YOU ALWAYS
THERE BEFORE THEM AND STAY SEATED?
>> MAYBE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE.
>> Stephen: YEAH, MAY BE.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: DID IT ACTUALLY HELP?
>> NO, IT DID.
I WOULD SAY I'M 6-4.
>> Stephen: SO BORN AND RAISED IN TRINIDAD TOBEGO?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: THE NEW FILM, WHICH IS CALLED "NINE DAYS," THE
NINE OR NINE DAYS IS SIGNIFICANT IN THE CULTURE THAT YOU GREW UP
IN, IN WHAT WA I?
>> YEAH, SO IN MY CULTURE IN TRINIDAD TOBEGO, IT'S BELIEVED
WHEN A LOVED ONE DICE, IT TAKES NINE DAYS FOR THE SPIRIT TO MOVE
ON.
SO WITHIN THAT NINE DAYS, THEY'LL VISIT YOU IN A DREAM,
THEY'LL SAY GOODBYE, THEY'LL DO SOMETHING, AND, YOU KNOW, THAT
WILL BE LIKE THEIR WAY OF MOVING ON AND DETACHING FROM THIS PLAIN
OF EXISTENCE.
>> Stephen: GROWING UP IN TRINIDAD, WHAT WERE YOUR
INFLUENCES?
WHAT DID YOU SEE IN ENTERTAINMENT OR PERFORMANCE
THAT YOU WENT, OH, I WANT TO DO THAT, THIS INSPIRES ME?
>> SO MUCH.
SO MANY IMPORTS ARE FROM AMERICA.
SO WE HAVE COUNTRY MUSIC, COUNTRY MUSIC IS BIG.

TO GARTH BROOKS AND ALL THESE FAVORITE THINGS.

SO "THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL."
>> Stephen: "YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS."
>> "YOUNG AND RESTLESS, AND" GENERAL HOSPITAL ."
EVERYBODY WAS IN LOVE WITH VICTOR ON "THE ONE AND RESTLESS"
AND EVERY GUY WANTED TO BE TOXIC LIKE VICTOR.
( LAUGHTER ) THE GUY EVERYONE REALLY WANTED
TO BE WAS A GUY FROM A SHOW CALLED "SANTA BARBARA."
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?
>> Stephen: NOT ONE OF MY STORIES.
>> WELL SANTA BARBARA WAS A SHOW OF AN HISPANIC GUY WHO WENT BY
THE NAME CRUZ AND HE WORE TIGHT SKINNY FIT JEANS AND EVER SINCE
SKINNY TIGHT FIT JEANS WERE CALLED CRUZ'S.
>> Stephen: EVERYWHERE?
NOT EVERYWHERE.
BUT EVERY TIME YOU WEAR SOMETHING TIGHT, LOOK AT THAT
CRUZ!
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: HAVE YOU EVER
PERFORMED OBSERVE A SOAP OPERA?
>> I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN MY FUTURE AT ONE POINT.
>> Stephen: YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SNEAK IN FOR A CAMEO.
>> TRINIDAD IS LIKE A SOAP OPERA.
THE WAY THEY FIGHT, THE NEIGHBORS, THEY'LL COME OUT OF
THEIR HOUSE, PULL OUT A MACHETE AND SCRAPE IT ON THIS GROUND AND
BE, LIKE, IF YOU CROSS THIS LINE, I WILL KILL YOU!
AND THEN EVERYONE DIES.
IT'S COMMUNITY THEATER.
AND THEN, LIKE, TWO DAYS LATER, YOU FIND OUT THEY'RE JUST
COUSINS.
( LAUGHTER ) HIT ME ONE TIME!
♪♪ BOOM!
>> Stephen: THE NEW MOVIE IS CALLED "NINE DAYS."
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
O SHORT AND SWEET, NINE DAYS IS ABOUT A MAN IN THE AFTERLIFE
TASKED WITH THE JOB OF INTERVIEWING SPIRITS FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE BORN, AND THE INTERVIEW PROCESS TAKES PLACE
OVER NINE DAYS.
>> Stephen: AND YOU'RE -- I AM THAT MAN.
I PLAY WILL AND THE STORY IS INSPIRED BY THE DIRECTOR'S OWN
PERSONAL STORY, HIS UNCLE SUICIDED AT THE AGE OF 50, AND
IN HIS FAMILY ALL HE WAS TOLD WAS DON'T BE LIKE YOUR UNCLE,
YOUR UNCLE WAS WEAK.
SO AS HE WENT THROUGH HIS OWN MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, AND
DEPRESSION, HE LOOKED INTO HIS UNCLE'S LIFE AND HE WROTE THIS
STORY TO REDEFINE THE NARRATIVE OF HIS UNCLE BECAUSE HIS UNCLE'S
LIFE WAS ESSENTIALLY REDUCED TO THIS ONE ACT, NOT A FULL LIFE,
JUST THIS ONE ACT OF PAIN.
AND HE SAID, I WANTED TO REWRITE THE LIFE BY GIVING HIM ANOTHER
LIFE IN THE AFTERLIFE SO HE COULD DEAL WITH THAT, SOME OF
THOSE SHADOWS, AND THAT WANT CHARACTER IS WILL, AND I PLAY
WILL.
>> Stephen: WELL, WINSTON, LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
>> ABSOLUTELY, PLEASURE.
>> Stephen: "NINE DAYS" IS IN THEATERS NOW.
