>> IMAGINE GETTING 4,000 PHONE CALLS A DAY.
A MAN IN SOUTH KOREA SAYS IT'S HAPPENING TO HIM, AND HE BLAMES
THE NEW NETFLIX SHOW "SQUID GAME."
THE MAN'S TELEPHONE NUMBER WAS APPARENTLY USED IN ONE OF THE
SCENES.
HE SAYS HE CAN'T CHANGE HIS NUMBER, IT'S LINKED TO HIS
BUSINESS AND HE'S BEEN USING IT FOR TEN YEARS.
WE'RE NOT SHOWING THE NUMBER BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO
CONTRIBUTE.
>> WHOA, I WOULD BE REALLY ANGRY IF THAT HAPPENED.
( SINGING ) >> Announcer: IT'S THE "LATE
SHOW" WITH STEPHEN COLBERT!
TONIGHT, DEATH ZONE, FOLKS.
TONIGHT STEPHEN WELCOMES DR. SANJAY GUPTA AND DENIS
VILENEUVE, FEATURING JON BATISTE AND "STAY HUMAN."
AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN NEW YORK
CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( THEME SONG PLAYING )
>> Stephen: FANTASTIC!
HEY!
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) HELLO.
HEY, EVERYBODY!
PLEASE!
WON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT?
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME -- WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT AND --
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) -- FOLKS, I'M SO HAPPY TO START
OFF WITH SOME GOOD NEWS!
WE'VE AVERTED CATASTROPHE BECAUSE EARLIER TODAY SENATE
LEADERS AGREED TO A SHORT-TERM DEBT CEILING INCREASE!
WHOOOOOO!
RAISE THE FINANCIAL ROOF!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THIS MEANS AMERICA WILL REMAIN
SOLVENT AND FREE FROM FINANCIAL CALAMITY, UNTIL...
DECEMBER 3.
( LAUGHTER ) WHICH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IS DOING
LITTLE MORE THAN KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD.
THE U.S. SENATE IS SO OLD, THEY THINK "KICK THE CAN" IS THE HOT
CHRISTMAS TOY THIS YEAR.
( LAUGHTER ) THAT, AND "HOOP AND STICK."
BUT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS REASSURED AMERICA, SAYING,
"AROUND HERE, TWO MONTHS IS A LIFETIME."
(AS BERNIE) "WO MONTHS IS A LIFETIME.
WE'RE LETTING THE DAYS GO BY LET THE WATER HOLD ME DOWN
LETTING THE DAYS GO BY WATER FLOWING UNDERGROUND.
INTO THE BLUE AGAIN AFTER THE MONEY'S GONE
TWO MONTHS IS A LIFETIME SAME AS IT EVER WAS
SAME AS IT EVER WAS."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WAS...
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WE ALMOST DIDN'T HAVE A
GOVERNMENT TO SAVE, THANKS TO FORMER PRESIDENT THE
BIG LIE-BOWSKI.
( LAUGHTER ) TODAY, THE SENATE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE RELEASED A NEW REPORT, CALLED "SUBVERTING JUSTICE: HOW
THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND HIS ALLIES PRESSURED D.O.J. TO
OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION."
SO FAR, I'VE ONLY READ THE TITLE PAGE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE ABOUT
HOW THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND HIS ALLIES PRESSURED D.O.J. TO
OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION.
ONE DETAIL THAT I DO KNOW IS THAT AIDES, LIKE CHIEF OF STAFF
MARK MEADOWS, WERE PUSHING THE ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL TO MEET
WITH RUDY GIULIANI.
IT'S A TOUGH SELL.
"I'VE SCHEDULED YOU FOR A HIGH-LEVEL LEGAL BRIEFING.
IT'S NEXT TO THE DUMPSTER BEHIND THE DISCOUNT DILDO SHOP.
LOOK FOR THE GUY WITH THE LEAKY SKULL.
HE'S THE GUY I WANT YOU TO MEET MEET."
BUT 45 WASN'T GETTING ANY COOPERATION FROM ACTING
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE OLD MAN UNDERNEATH THE MASK IN EVERY
EPISODE OF "SCOOBY DOO," JEFFREY ROSEN.
( LAUGHTER ) SO, THE FORMER PRESIDENT HATCHED
A PLAN TO REPLACE ROSEN WITH HIS OWN TOADIE, JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
ATTORNEY AND BLOB OF SILLY PUTTY PRESSED UP AGAINST THE FACE OF A
MAN, JEFFREY CLARK.
ROSEN TOLD THE FORMER PRESIDENT THAT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAD
INVESTIGATED THE ELECTION AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.
BUT CLARK REACHED A DIFFERENT CONCLUSION, BECAUSE, AS HE SAID,
HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME READING ON THE INTERNET.
( LAUGHTER ) TURNS OUT, AND I DID NOT KNOW
THIS, MISSING BALLOTS ARE THE ONE WEIRD TRICK TO CURE BELLY
FAT.
( LAUGHTER ) CLARK TOLD ROSEN THAT HE
CONVINCED THE FORMER PRESIDENT TO FIRE ROSEN SO CLARK COULD
TAKE HIS PLACE.
AS ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL.
BUT ROSEN SAID, "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU."
SO, ON JANUARY 3, CLARK AND ROSEN WENT TO THE OVAL OFFICE
FOR A MEETING.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT BEGAN THAT MEETING WITH THIS SNIDE COMMENT:
"ONE THING WE KNOW IS YOU, ROSEN, AREN'T GOING TO DO
ANYTHING TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION."
THAT WAS HIS IDEA OF A NEGATIVE EMPLOYEE REVIEW.
( LAUGHTER ) (AS BOSS REVIEWING)
"CHAD, I'VE GOT TO SAY, YOUR QUARTERLY REPORTS ARE STELLAR,
BUT I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE A GOOD FIT FOR OUR COMPANY,
BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO DISMEMBER MY ENEMIES."
( LAUGHTER ) BUT ROSEN HAD AN ACE IN THE
HOLE-- IF HE WAS FIRED, THE D.O.J.'S LEADERS HAD ALL AGREED
TO RESIGN, LEADING THE FORMER PRESIDENT TO CONCLUDE THAT ANY
ATTENTION ON HIS BASELESS CLAIMS OF VOTER FRAUD WOULD BE ECLIPSED
BY A FUROR OVER MASS RESIGNATIONS AT THE TOP OF THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
SO HE WORRIED ONE AWFUL THING WOULD BE OVERSHADOWED BY ANOTHER
AWFUL THING.
JUST LIKE DON JR AND ERIC.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
LONG WALK.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Jon: A LONG WALK.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: OVER IN THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES, THEY'RE DOING THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION
INTO THE ELECTION-STEALING PLANS OF LARDO CALTREASIAN.
THEY'RE LOOKING INTO THE CAPITOL RIOT, AND WHO ON THE
INSIDE KNEW ABOUT IT.
BUT THEY'RE HITTING A SNAG, BECAUSE THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S
AIDES ARE TRYING TO DODGE JANUARY 6 SUBPOENAS.
AND THEY'RE HAVING REAL TROUBLE WITH ONE GUY IN PARTICULAR--
FORMER WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF DAN SCAVINO, SEEN HERE
BEING GUILTY.
( LAUGHTER ) SO FAR, THEY'VE BEEN UNABLE TO
PHYSICALLY SERVE THE SUBPOENA TO SCAVINO, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
FIND HIM.
HAS ANYONE TRIED LOOKING IN HERE?
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
WHAT?
( PIANO RIFF ) IT'S A LOGICAL PLACE TO LOOK!
THEY ALL SPEND A LOT OF TIME UP THERE, AND IT'S MORE SPACIOUS
THAN IS A DAM'S SPIDER HOLE.
REPUBLICANS ARE EVEN UNDERMINING THE ELECTION OF OTHER
REPUBLICANS.
CASE IN POINT: THIS WEEK, IDAHO'S GOVERNOR LEFT
THE STATE, SO HIS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TOOK POWER AND BANNED
STATE VACCINE MANDATES.
IDAHO, THAT'S NOT HOW A LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR IS SUPPOSED
TO TAKE OVER!
NEW YORKERS KNOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAIT PATIENTLY UNTIL YOUR
BOSS IS ACCUSED OF DECADES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, BLAMES IT ON
BEING ITALIAN, AND THEN RESIGNS, JUST IN TIME TO RUN AGAIN,
ANYWAY.
LA( APPLAUSE ) ( PIANO RIFF )
SEE, THERE WAS A MEETING OF REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS IN TEXAS,
ATTENDED BY IDAHO GOVERNOR AND THE STUD MUFFIN OF
FARMERSONLY.COM, BRAD LITTLE.
WHILE HE WAS OUT OF STATE POWER WAS SEIZED BY LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR AND WOMAN WHO SWEARS TO TELL THE TOOTH, THE WHOLE TOOTH,
AND NOTHING BUT THE TOOTH, JANICE MCGEAHIN.
MCGEAHIN WAS ABLE TO ASSUME TEMPORARY POWER BECAUSE IDAHO'S
CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TO TAKE OVER
WHEN THE GOVERNOR IS OUT OF STATE.
AND IF BOTH OF THEM ARE OUT OF STATE, POWER PASSES TO A POTATO
WITH GOOGLY EYES.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: SURE, FRONTRUNNER.
2024.
POTATO.
MCGEAHIN INSISTED SHE WAS JUST DOING HER JOB.
>> WE ARE THE SECOND-IN-COMMAND OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, THAT IF
ANYTIME THE GOVERNOR LEAVES THE STATE, OR GOD FORBID, SOMETHING
WERE TO HAPPEN TO THE GOVERNOR-- AND WE PRAY FOR HIS SAFETY AND
WELL-BEING EVERY DAY-- THAT I NEED, I WOULD BE THE COMMANDER
OF THE STATE.
>> STEPHEN: JANICE?
NO ONE ASKED YOU WHETHER YOU WERE PRAYING FOR HIS SAFETY.
"I PRAY FOR HIS BRAKE CABLES EVERY DAY, BECAUSE, LORD KNOWS
HOW, MY BOLT CUTTERS END UP UNDER HIS CAR.
EVERY DAY."
NOW, IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY THESE TWO REPUBLICANS ARE
FEUDING?
IN IDAHO, THE GOVERNOR AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DON'T RUN ON
THE SAME TICKET, AND IN THE NEXT ELECTION, MCGEAHIN IS RUNNING
FOR GOVERNOR.
SHE'S GUNNIN' FOR HER BOSS'S JOB!
THAT'S LIKE A BABYSITTER WATCHING THE PARENTS DRIVE OFF,
AND GOING, "KIDS, CALL ME MOMMY."
SPEAKING OF IDAHO, CANADA!
ARE THERE ANY BELIEBERS HERE TONIGHT?
( CHEERING ) I'M A HUGE JUSTIN-HEAD MYSELF,
EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE SHOW FIVE YEARS AGO,
AND CANCELLED, AND HAS NEVER COME BACK.
CLAIMED HE WAS SICK, AND WAS PHOTOGRAPHED THE NEXT DAY
SKATEBOARDING.
I DON'T KNOW.
I ASSUME HE HAD SKATEBOARD FEVER.
ANYWAY, BIG FAN.
( LAUGHTER ) WHICH IS WHY I'M SO EXCITED
THAT HE JUST DROPPED A TEASER FOR HIS NEW MUSIC VIDEO, THAT
HAS A SURPRISING GUEST STAR.
SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT HER.
HERE'S A HINT: IT'S DIANE KEATON.
♪♪ ♪♪
>> STEPHEN: YES.
DIANE KEATON.
AND BASED ON THAT CLIP, SHE EITHER PLAYS BIEBER'S LOVE
INTEREST, HIS MOM, OR "DIANE KEATON WHO WANDERED ONTO THE SET
OF A JUSTIN BIEBER VIDEO."
HARD TO TELL.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU KNOW?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'M A HUGE FAN.
LOVE DIANE KEATON.
THE VIDEO IS FOR THE BIEBS' NEW SONG, "GHOST," AND
APPARENTLY, KEATON'S APPEARANCE IN THE VIDEO HAS LEFT JUSTIN
BIEBER FANS "CONFUSED."
( LAUGHTER ) THEN THEY'RE NOT REAL FANS!
TRUE BELIEBERS KNOW THAT DIANE KEATON HAS ACTUALLY BEEN IN ALL
WHO COULD FORGET THIS CLASSIC?
♪ AND IT WAS LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, OHHH
LIKE, BABY, BABY, BABY, NO LIKE...
>> LA-DI-DA, LA-DI-DA, LA-LA, YEAH
>> STEPHEN: REMEMBER, THIS ISN'T THE ACTUAL MUSIC VIDEO.
THIS IS JUST THE TRAILER FOR THE MUSIC VIDEO.
WHICH IS A GROWING TREND.
RECENTLY, ADELE DROPPED A 20-SECOND TRAILER FOR HER NEW
SONG, AND THE JONAS BROTHERS PREVIEWED THEIR NEW SINGLE WITH
AN EIGHT-SECOND CLIP ON INSTAGRAM.
BUT MUSIC VIDEOS ARE REALLY ADS FOR WHOLE ALBUMS.
NOW THERE ARE TEASERS FOR THE ADS?
THIS WHOLE THING SEEMS RIDICULOUS.
>> JON: YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT, STEPHEN!
>> STEPHEN: JON, YOU AGREE WITH ME?
>> JON: I DO.
PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE WATCHING TEASERS FOR MUSIC VIDEOS...
UNTIL THEY SEE THE TRAILER FOR THE TEASER!
( LAUGHTER ) CHECK OUT MY WORLD PREMIERE
TRAILER FOR THE TEASER FOR THE MUSIC VIDEO OF MY NEW SONG!
(PIANO NOTE SUSTAINED) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: WOW.
WOW.
BEAUTIFUL.
YOU TOUCHED ME.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Jon: I'M TRYING TO DO WHAT
I CAN HERE, YOU KNOW?
>> Stephen: NOT ONLY IS THAT BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT REVEALS
NOTHING.
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THE NEW SONG.
WHEN DOES IT COME OUT?
>> JON: I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IT YET.
>> STEPHEN: JON BATISTE, EVERYBODY!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
MY GUESTS ARE DR. SANJAY GUPTA AND "DUNE" DIRECTOR DENIS
VILLENEUVE.
BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, "MEANWHILE!"
AND DIANE KEATON.
>> Stephen: JON BATISTE AND "STAY HUMAN," EVERYBODY!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LOOK AT THAT.
SPEND A LOT OF TIME OVER THERE, CAREFULLY
STUDYING THE LATEST, NEWSIEST CLINICAL STUDIES, PRACTICING AND
TRAINING UNDER THE BEST, MOST TOPICAL DOCTORS, CAREFULLY
STERILIZING ALL MY EQUIPMENT, AND ASSEMBLING THE WORLD'S BEST
SURGICAL TEAM TO PERFORM THE DAZZLINGLY COMPLEX AND
GROUNDBREAKING THORACIC AORTIC DISSECTION REPAIR THAT IS MY
MONOLOGUE.
BUT SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES, FOLKS, I GET KICKED OFF MY HEALTH CARE
PLAN FOR LISTING MY DOG BENNY AS MY GASTROENTEROLOGIST, SO I
STIPPLE SOME INCISION MARKS ON MY ABDOMEN WITH A DRIED-OUT
SHARPIE, SLAM A COUPLE RED BULLS IN FRONT OF A SHATTERED MIRROR,
AND FISH A RUSTY BONING KNIFE OUT OF A STOLEN CRAB BOAT TO
PERFORM THE EXPLORATORY HOBO APPENDECTOMY OF NEWS THAT IS MY
SEGMENT: "MEANWHILE!"
♪♪ ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: YEAH, YEAH, GET IT!
>> Stephen: GET IT!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) MEANWHILE, GEORGE CLOONEY WON'T
LET HIS WIFE WATCH "BATMAN AND ROBIN."
SAID AMAL CLOONEY, "YEP, THAT'S WHY I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
GOSH DARN IT, GEORGE JUST WON'T LET ME."
CLOONEY HAS A SPECIFIC REASON FOR THE RULE: "HE WANTS HER TO
HAVE SOME 'RESPECT' FOR HIM."
( LAUGHTER ) OH, COME ON, GEORGE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN IT, BUT THE MOVIE CAN'T BE THAT BAD.
>> YOU TAKE THE ICE, I'LL TAKE THE ICEMAN.
>> STEPHEN: YEAH, AMAL SHOULD NOT SEE IT.
AMAL IS A HUMAN RIGHTS ATTORNEY, AND THAT IS A WAR CRIME.
( LAUGHTER ) MEANWHILE, IN ANCIENT PLUMBING
NEWS, "ARCHAEOLOGISTS FOUND A 2,700-YEAR-OLD TOILET IN A
LUXURIOUS PALACE IN JERUSALEM."
GOT TO SAY, FOR A "LUXURY PALACE," THAT IS A VERY SMALL
HOLE FOR RICH PEOPLE TO AIM FOR.
THEN AGAIN, GOLF HADN'T BEEN INVENTED YET.
SCHOLARS SAY THAT "AT THE TIME, A PRIVATE TOILET IN A HOUSE WAS
EXTREMELY RARE," AND "MOST PEOPLE WERE JUST FORCED TO FIND
SOMEPLACE PRIVATE TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES."
SO ARCHAEOLOGISTS WHO'VE SPENT YOUR CAREERS UNEARTHING ALL THAT
OLD POTTERY?
I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS.
YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO LOOK UP THE ANCIENT JUDEAN WORD FOR
"TRUCKER BOMB."
( LAUGHTER ) MEANWHILE, "A NEW SPECIES OF
DINOSAUR WAS DISCOVERED IN WALES," WITH "A BODY THE SIZE OF
A CHICKEN."
WAIT.
THIS IS NOT A NEW DISCOVERY.
I'VE SEEN THIS CHICKEN DINOSAUR ON THE CHILDREN'S MENU.
( LAUGHTER ) MEANWHILE, IN MOVIE MUSICAL
TRAUMA NEWS, "LORD ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER HATED THE 'CATS' MOVIE SO
MUCH, HE BOUGHT A THERAPY DOG."
( APPLAUSE ) REALLY!
WOW!
( PIANO RIFF ) WOW.
WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US, ANDY?
WE HAD TO WATCH TWO HOURS OF SONGS ABOUT "JELLICLE BALLS,"
TOO.
CAN WE GET AT LEAST GET A RAIL OF ZOLOFT TO SNORT?
( LAUGHTER ) LORD WEBBER PULLED NO PUNCHES
ABOUT THE MOVIE, SAYING "I SAW IT AND I JUST THOUGHT,
'OH, GOD, NO'."
( LAUGHTER ) AND THAT IS OFFICIALLY THE BEST
REVIEW THE MOVIE "CATS" GOT.
( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERING )
MEANWHILE, HOST OF "THE MASKED SINGER" NICK CANNON SAYS "HE
WILL STAY CELIBATE UNTIL 2022."
THAT'S NOT A SACRIFICE.
"UNTIL 2022" IS LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AWAY.
THAT'S LIKE GOING OUT TO DINNER ON JANUARY 1 AND BEING LIKE,
"GIVE ME FOUR FINGERS OF JACK DANIELS!
I'VE BEEN SOBER ALL YEAR!" ( LAUGHTER )
NICK HAS A REASON FOR DOING THIS-- HE MADE THE CALL "AFTER
WELCOMING HIS FOURTH CHILD IN LESS THAN A YEAR."
GOLLY, IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME WAY TO HAVE SEX WITHOUT
PRODUCING CHILDREN!
MAYBE THE SINGER ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD BE MASKED,
NICK.
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
THAT'S NOT COOL.
AND THIS WASN'T PURELY NICK CANNON'S IDEA, APPARENTLY.
"HIS THERAPIST ADVISED HIM TO TAKE A BREAK."
I ASSUME BECAUSE HIS THERAPIST IS ALSO PREGNANT WITH HIS CHILD.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH DR. SANJAY GUPTA.
♪♪ >> Stephen: THERE YOU GO!
HEARING!
WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN -- THERE
YOU GO.
THERE YOU GO.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY FIRST GUEST THIS EVENING IS CNN'S
CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT, AND THE
HOST OF THE PODCAST "CHASING LIFE."
HE HAS JUST WRITTEN A NEW BOOK, "WORLD WAR C: LESSONS FROM THE
COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT ONE."
PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW," DR. SANJAY GUPTA!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ♪♪
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
THANKS FOR COMING BACK.
>> WHAT A PLEASURE.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
YOU WERE MY GUEST WHEN WE HAD TO BUG OUT MARCH OF 2020 WHEN THERE
WAS NO AUDIENCE, JUST YOU AND ME AND I THINK JON ON STAGE.
I'VE REALLY BEEN GRATEFUL FOR YOU COMING BACK EVER SO OFTEN TO
TELL US WHERE WE ARE AND ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE,
WHEN YOU WERE HERE IN JUNE, WELL, FELT LIKE THINGS WERE
GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND RIGHT NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT DIRECTION WE'RE
GOING IN.
I'M A LITTLE TURNED AROUND BECAUSE I KNEW DELTA WOULD COME
IN.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, IT IS HARD AND THERE'S A GREAT AMOUNT OF
HUMILITY YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO HAVE IN TRYING TO PREDICT WHERE
THINGS ARE GOING, BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS WE'RE IN THE STORM
OF VIRUS.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T SEE THE VIRUS.
IF YOU COULD SEE IT, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF VIRUS OUT THERE
IN THE COMMUNITY.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF POSITIVE INDICATORS AS WELL.
THERE ARE SOME CLEAR SKIES AHEAD.
NUMBERS ARE FALLING.
>> Stephen: THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE I HAD HEARD SOME
PROJECTIONS IN LATE AUGUST, I HAD HEARD THAT BASICALLY BY THE
FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER WE WOULD SEE A MARKED CHANGE, THERE WOULD
BE A MAJOR DROPOFF IN INFECTION RATES.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IS THAT HAPPENING?
WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THAT.
I'VE OFTEN THOUGHT ABOUT THE COUNTRY AS MY OWN PATIENT,
THAT'S JUST HOW I THINK ABOUT THINGS, AND I THINK IF I WAS
TALKING TO THE FAMILY OF THE PATIENT, I WOULD SAY THE PATIENT
IS STILL IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, BUT WE ARE GETTING READY
TO MAYBE MOVE THE PATIENT OUT OF THE I.C.U. ON TO THE GENERAL
CARE FLOOR.
POSITIVE INDEPENDENCE CARES, PATIENT RATES AND
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE COMING DOWN.
FROM LOOKING AT OTHER COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD AND
HISTORICALLY, THAT AFTER THIS SURGE WE'RE IN NOW -- IT'S BEEN
REALLY TOUGH -- BUT AFTER THIS SURGE, USUALLY IT FLATTENS OUT
AND HOPEFULLY IT STAYS DOWN.
>> Stephen: IF I HAVE BEEN VACCINATED, WHICH I HAVE, I'M
FULLY VACCINATED, AND I GET A CASE -- LET'S SAY I GET A
BREAKTHROUGH CASE -- WHAT IS MY VIRAL LOAD COMPARED TO SOMEONE
WHO GETS IT AND IS NOT VACCINATED.
DO WE HAVE SIMILAR VIRAL LOADS?
>> YOU CAN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
LET ME REMIND YOU OF ONE THING, THOUGH, YOUR CHANCE OF GETTING
INFECTED BECAUSE YOU'RE VACCINATED EVEN A BREAKTHROUGH
INFECTION IS MUCH MUCH LOWER THAN AN UNVACCINATED PERSON,
ABOUT EIGHT TO TEN TIMES LOWER.
IF YOU DO CARRY THE VIRUS, YOU COULD DEVELOP ENOUGH VIRUS IN
YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO AN
UNVACCINATED PERSON.
>> Stephen: SO I COULD BE CONTAGIOUS.
>> BUT IT COMES DOWN MUCH FASTER AS WELL.
SO AN UNVACCINATED PERSON COULD BE CONTAINS FOR SEVEN TO TEN
DAYS WHEREAS, FOR YOU, IT MIGHT BE TWO TO THREE DAYS.
>> Stephen: HARDER TO GET, MUCH LESS LIKELY TO PASS ON.
>> Stephen: I SAW AN INTERVIEW YOU DID WITH A NURSE WHO DECIDED
NOT TO GET THE VACCINE, ONE OVERSEVERAL NURSES YOU WERE
PROFILING THERE.
WHAT IS THE BEST RATIONALE -- OR RATHER WHAT IS THE RATIONALE
YOU'RE HEARING FROM HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, DOCTORS AND
NURSES DECIDING NOT TO GET IT?
BECAUSE I HAVE SOME LOVED ONES IN MY LIFE WHO HAVE TRIED TO
CONVINCE TO GET IT AND SAY I JUST CARE ABOUT YOU, I'M SURE
YOU'RE DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH, AS YOU SAY, BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT IT IS BECAUSE I SEE NO LEGITIMATE RESEARCH SAYING THAT
THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
WHAT RATIONALE ARE YOU GETTING FROM HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS?
>> TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU, THERE ARE TIMES I'VE SAT IN
MY BASEMENT AND LITERALLY SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS.
IT'S HARD TO FATHOM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS IS AVAILABLE AND IT
COULD REALLY HELP END THIS COLLECTIVE TRAUMA WE HAVE BEEN
GOING THROUGH, BUT WHAT I WOULD SAY IS HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE
SUBJECTED TO THE SAME IDEOLOGICAL PRESSURES AS
EVERYBODY ELSE.
IT TRACKS WHAT THE VACCINE HESITANCY IN THE POPULATION, 20
TO 30%.
QUICKLY, STEPHEN, I HAVE THIS GUY WHO CAME BY TO FIX THE
AIR-CONDITIONING THE OTHER DAY, MID 70s, WORE A MASK, FIXED
THE AIR CONDITIONING.
HE APPARENTLY KNEW WHO I WAS.
HE SAID, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
I SAID, SURE.
HE SAID, SHOULD I GET A VACCINE?
I SAID, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
HE SAID THE REASON I ASK IS I HAVE A STENT IN MY LEG AND I
THOUGHT IT WOULD CAUSE BLOOD CLOTTING AND I WONDERED IF THAT
WAS A PROBLEM.
I SAID, RIGHT, THAT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE VACCINES BUT
YOU'RE 80 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP BLOOD CLOTS FROM THE
DISEASE THAN THE VACCINE.
HE SAID I APPRECIATE IT, THE REASON I ASK IS MY DAUGHTER LAST
WEEK FROM COVID.
BUT I HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT THE CLOTTING THING AND MY DOCTOR
HASN'T CALLED ME BACK AND YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON I SAW SO I'M
IT BROKE MY HEART.
I THINK THERE'S A TENDENCY TO SAY THOSE ANTI-VAXXERS, THERE
ARE SOME STARTING SHI...
BUT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAVE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS AND I HOPE
WE REACH THOSE FOLKS.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU GOTTEN A BOOSTER?
>> I HAVEN'T.
THE BOOSTERS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE OVER 65 AROUND IF YOU
HAVE PREEXISTING CONDITIONS.
THERE MAY BE A SITUATION WHERE ULTIMATELY THEY WILL RECOMMEND
IT MORE WIDELY BUT FOR NOW I'M HAPPY I GOT THE VACCINE, THE
VACCINE WORKS REALLY WELL.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE AROUND THREE MONTHS FROM
NOW THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, YEAH, EVERYBODY.
>> I DON'T KNOW, FELLS.
IN A WAY, WE KIND OF GOT BOOSTED.
WE GOT THE TWO SHOTS SEPARATED, AND IF THE PROTECTION CONTINUES
TO BE AS GOOD AS IT IS, I THINK THAT THERE MAY NOT BE A NEED.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
WHEN WE COME BACK, I WILL ASK SANJAY HOW WE CAN BECOME
PANDEMIC-PROOF.
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!
WE'RE BACK WITH THE AUTHOR OF "WORLD WAR C," DR. SANJAY GUPTA.
YOU GOT THE NEW BOOK.
IN IT YOU SAY WE HAVE A CHANCE TO BE PANDEMIC PROOF.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: HOW TO WE DO THAT?
WELL, I THINK PART OF IT IS JUST LOOKING AT THIS IDEA OF ALMOST A
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SORT OF MODEL.
WE THINK ABOUT THESE PANDEMICS AS SORT OF THESE NATURALLY
OCCURRING WEATHER EVENTS ALMOST AND SAY IT'S PREORDAINED,
THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, BUT WHEN YOU GO BACK
TO EVEN 2004, WE HAD A PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS PLAN IN THIS
COUNTRY, IT WAS KIND OF REMARKABLE, THEY HAD A PRICE TAG
OF 30 BUCKS PER CITIZEN COULD MAKE US PANDEMIC PROOF, FINDING
VIRUSES, VACCINES, BOLSTERING THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM,
TURNING THIS THING INTO AN EMERGING PATHOGEN AND NOT LET IT
TURN INTO A PANDEMIC.
>> THAT'S ABOUT 9 AND A HALF BILLION.
>> EXACTLY.
AND THE THE COVID RELIEF BILL WAS CLOSE TO $2 TRILLION, JUST
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA.
SO 10 BILLION TO PREVENT THIS VERSUS 2 TRILLION TO BASICALLY
TAKE CARE OF IT.
>> Stephen: IS THAT IN THERE?
IS THERE ANY PLAN IN PLACE?
IS THERE FUNDING IN THERE TO TO THIS KIND OF THING?
>> SINCE 2004, THE MONEY WITHERED AWAY.
PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE INVESTING IN PREVENTION.
HEY, IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN.
WHY ARE WE THROWING $10 BILLION AWAY EVERY YEAR?
IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN.
IT'S LIKE HOW WE THINK ABOUT OUR PRSONAL HEALTH.
DO I NEED TO CONTINUE TO EAT RIGHT AND EXERCISE?
I FEEL FINE.
IT'S A BEHAVIORAL CONSTRUCT WE'LL HAVE TO SOLVE.
BUT IF WE SAY WE'LL TREAT THIS LIKE THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
AND PEOPLE WON'T SAY IT'S A GAD OR BAD IDEA, IT'S JUST PART OF
HOW WE APPROACH THE FUTURE BECAUSE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE
THESE PATHOGENS.
THIS IS SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT ENOUGH IS WEALTHIER
COUNTRIES GOT HIT THE HARDEST IN THIS PANDEMIC.
YOU THINK MOST EMERGING DISEASES OR EVEN MALARIA AND
TUBERCULOSIS, THEY HIT THIRD-WORLD AND DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES.
THE UNITED STATES AND U.K. AND OTHERS IN THE WORLD WERE HIT THE
HARDEST.
WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THAT IS, BECAUSE THE DISEASES OF
AFFLUENCE, DIABETES, ET CETERA, THOSE WERE RISK FACTORS FOR THIS
DISEASE.
WE THINK WE MIGHT HAVE A HEART ATTACK LATER IN LIFE, BUT THE
FACT THE PANDEMIC DISCRIMINATELY AFFECTED THOSE PEOPLE HAS TO BE
A WAKEUP CALL.
IF WE TOOK 1% OF THE MONEY WE SPEND ON HEALTHCARE IS TO MAKE
SURE WE HAVE HEALTHY FOOD AND NOT LIVE IN A FOOD DESERT, IT
HELPS NOW AND THE FUTURE AS WELL.
THAT MIGHT BE THE SINGLE GREATEST THING THAT COMES OUT OF
THIS PANDEMIC.
>> Stephen: WELL, THE BOOK IS "WORLD WAR C."
IT'S ON SALE NOW.
DR. SANJAY GUPTA, EVERYBODY!
THANK YOU, SANJAY!

REMOVE YOUR HAND FROM THE BOX, AND YOU DIE.
>> WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
PAIN.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME DENIS VILLENEUVE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ♪♪
>> Stephen: I'M SO HAPPY YOU CULD BE HERE.
IT'S AN HONOR, SIR.
THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: ABSOLUTELY MY OWNER.
WE GOT TO SPEAK BRIEFLY OVER A YEAR AGO, WHEN THIS FILM LAST
AUGUST OF 2020, WHEN I INTERVIEWED YOU AND THE CAST
WHEN THE MOVIE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT THAT YEAR, SO I
CONGRATULATE YOU ON KEEPING YOUR PATIENCE.
NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS AM I PRONOUNCING YOUR NAME
CORRECTLY?
( PRONOUNCING) >> THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
I WAS THINKING AT ONE POINT TO CHANGE MY NAME BECAUSE NOBODY IN
THE UNITED STATES CAN PRONOUNCE IT CORRECTLY BUT YOU,
APPARENTLY.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THIS IS A
BEAUTIFUL ADAPTATION.
I'VE SEEN IT TWICE NOW, DEEPLY MOVED.
I READ THE BOOK WHEN I WAS 19 YEARS OLD AND IT COMBED INTO MY
VIEW OF THE WORLD AND I'M WONDERING WHEN YOU FIRST
ENCOUNTERED.
>> I THINK I WAS AROUND AT THE END OF 13, 14 YEARS OLD, YES,
AND I STEPPED INTO AN ISOLATED BOOK IN THE LIBRARY AND IT BLEW
ME AWAY AT THE TIME.
I'D DONE A PORTRAIT OF THE 20th CENTURY AND ALL THE
CURRENTS, AND THAT BOY REALLY STRIKE ME.
>> Stephen: WERE YOU IN YOUR MIND PAUL.
>> 13 YEARS OLD, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
OF COURSE!
( LAUGHTER ) IT'S LIKE TO SEE THIS YOUNG BOY
BEING CURIOUS ABOUT ANOTHER CULTURE, DREAMING ABOUT THIS NEW
WORLD, AND DEALING WITH THAT INSANITY BECAUSE HE HAS FAMILY
HERITAGE, RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL HERITAGE HE HAS TO
DEAL WITH, AND FINDING SOLACE IN ANOTHER CULTURE.
THE FACT THAT HE FINDS COMFORT IN ANOTHER CULTURE IS REALLY
BEAUTIFUL.
>> Stephen: THERE'S AN ASPECT OF THE STORY, AND I'M NOT GIVING
ANYTHING AWAY, THAT PAUL IS THE CULMINATION OF MANY PEOPLE'S
PLANS IN MANY WAYS.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: THE NORMAL SORT OF POLITICAL PLANS MANY NOBLE HOUSE
MAY HAVEO FOR AN HEIR AND MANY OTHER PLANS AS WELL.
HE DEALS WITH, A, THE PRESSURE, THE SENSE OF ALIENESS THAT HE
HAS BY BEING THE SORT OF CULMINATION OF OTHER PEOPLE'S
PLANS, HE'S NOT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE, AND THAT KIND OF JIBES
WITH WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GO INTO PUBERTY.
YOU'RE TURNING INTO SOMETHING ELSE.
>> THAT'S WHY TIMOTHEÉE CHALAMET COMES INTO THE PICTURE.
>> Stephen: HE'S PERFECT BECAUSE HE ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE HE
JUST CAME THROUGH PUBERTY.
( LAUGHTER ) IT'S VERY RARE BECAUSE HE'S A
MATURE ACTOR IN HIS 20s.
>> HE'S BRILLIANT.
HE'S A VERY INTELLIGENT YOUNG MAN, MAYBE BECAUSE TO HAVE THE
COMBINATION OF AMERICAN CULTURE, FRENCH CULTURE.
>> Stephen: I BET HE PRONOUNCES YOUR NAME PERFECTLY.
>> HE SPEAKS FRENCH, WHAT CAN I SAY.
>> Stephen: WHEN YOU READ IT THE FIRST TIME, DID YOU READ IT
IN FRENCH OR ENGLISH.
>> FRENCH.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU SAY FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER IN
FRENCH?
( SPEAKING FRENCH ) DOESN'T SOUND AS SCARY.
SOUNDS KIND OF SEXY WHEN YOU SAY IT IN FRENCH.
>> WHAT CAN I SAY.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY OUT THERE
NOT ONLY TO SEE THIS BUT SEE IT IN THE THEATER.
SEE IT AGAIN ON HBO MAX BUT SEE IT IN THE THEATER BECAUSE THE
SCALE OF THIS FILM IS ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY.
I HAVEN'T SEEN -- LIKE, THERE ARE SCENE AFTER SCENE OF A SCALE
OF LIKE SORT OF THE BATTLE IN THE LORD OF THE RINGS IN THE
THIRD MOVIE.
THE SCALE IS EXTRAORDINARY JUST IN THE SHIPS THEY TRAVEL IN, IN
THEIR LANDING CRAFT, IN LITTLE MOMENTS THAT AREN'T EVEN PUSHED
AT THE AUDIENCE MUCH TAKE YOU INTO A TOTE LIL ALIEN WORLD
BECAUSE NOTHING IN OUR LIVES IS TO THE SCALE YOU'VE CREATED.
>> WHEN WE DID IT, IT WAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, AND THE PLAN WAS
TO DO A LOVE LETTER TO THE BIG SCREEN, THE BIG SCREEN, THE
THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE IS PART OF THE LANGUAGE.
WE SHOT THE MOVIE FOR SOMETHING BIG AND WIDE TO GET AS IMMERSIVE
AS POSSIBLE AND, OF COURSE, IN THE AREAS, AWARD WINNING SAFETY
FIRST, WE UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IF IT'S SAFE, IF YOU WANT TO
HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE, A GREAT BIG SCENE, I THINK THAT'S A
MOVIE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED IN.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU FOR
THE BEAUTIFUL FILM.
