CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT! ♪ ♪ ♪
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HEY!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) HELLO!
GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> Jon: GREAT TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT.
PLEASE, EVERYBODY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WELCOME, WELCOME, ONE AND ALL TO "THE LAST SHOW."
I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT. ( APPLAUSE )
ENERGY. LISTEN TO THAT WARMTH.
WIND CHILLS TODAY ARE NEAR ZERO TODAY IN NEW YORK.
AND I WANT TO THANK MY AUDIENCE RIGHT HERE WHO BRAVED THE COLD
CAME OUT, DID IT,INGS DUG DOWN, FOUND THAT EXTRA GEAR TO BE HERE
TONIGHT, AND CAME INTO THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER, WHERE SOMEHOW
IT'S EVEN COLDER. AND HERE'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT
IT'S SINCERELY COMFORTING IN A WAY.
IT'S JANUARY 11th. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY COLD.
THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. AND IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT
DOES. LOOK AT COVID.
REMEMBER, WE JUST NEEDED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY FOR THREE TO SIX
WEEKS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND THEN IT'LL BE OVER?
THAT'S GOIN' ON TWO YEARS AGO. THEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE OVER IT
AFTER THE GIANT PEAK LAST WINTER, PLUS WE HAD THE VACCINE.
IS IT THEN DELTA CAME AROUND, THE END OF SUMMER AND THE FALL.
THAT WAS TERRIBLE. BUT THEN WE'D BE GOOD BY THE
HOLIDAYS, AND THEN OMICRON CAME A-KNOCKIN.'
AND NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES REPORTED 1.5 MILLION NEW
INFECTIONS YESTERDAY. THAT'S TERRIBLE, BUT KIND OF
SWEET THAT WE ALL GAVE EACH OTHER THE SAME THING FOR
CHRISTMAS. ( LAUGHTER )
STAGGERING NUMBER. BUT EVERYBODY IS SAYING IF
YOU'RE VACCINATED, OMICRON IS VERY MILD.
WELL, OKAY, BUT IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN WHY DO WE HAVE A
RECORD-BREAKING 145,000 COVID HOSPITALIZATIONS, WITH EXPERTS
PREDICTING A PEAK IN THE 300,000 RANGE?
SOON, THERE'S GOING TO BE ALMOST AS MANY PEOPLE IN HOSPITALS AS
THERE ARE TV SHOWS ABOUT HOSPITALS.
( LAUGHTER ) WALENSKY EXPLAINED THAT THE
NUMBERS AREN'T AS BAD THEY MAY SEEM, BECAUSE AT SOME HOSPITALS,
UP TO 40% OF THE PATIENTS WHO ARE COMING IN WITH COVID -19 ARE
COMING IN NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE SICK WITH COVID, BUT THEY'RE
COMING IN WITH SOMETHING ELSE AND HAVE HAD THE OMICRON VARIANT
DETECTED. OKAY, SURE, BUT EVEN IF PEOPLE
AREN'T COMING IN FOR COVID INITIALLY, THE HOSPITALS ARE
STILL OVERFLOWING. THAT'S LIKE SAYING, "UH,
TECHNICALLY, UP TO 40% OF PEOPLE WHO DROWNED ON THE "TITANIC"
WERE ALREADY WET BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THE BATHTUB WHEN THE
SHIP WENT DOWN. ( LAUGHTER )
NOT SO BAD. ( LAUGHTER )
THIS PANDEMIC WE ALL ARE? CHECK OUT THIS HEADLINE THAT CNN
THOUGHT WE ALL NEEDED TO HEAR: "FIVE REASONS YOU SHOULD NOT
DELIBERATELY CATCH OMICRON TO 'GET IT OVER WITH.'"
WELL, OBVIOUSLY, YOU SHOULDN'T DELIBERATELY CATCH OMICRON.
AND SHOULD I? ( LAUGHTER )
HOSTS ARE DOING IT. I'M STARTING TO THINK THEY HAD A
SECRET SLEEPOVER, AND I WASN'T INVITED.
( LAUGHTER ). NOW, IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO
PURPOSELY CATCH COVID, BUT ACCORDING TO ONE DOCTOR, THE
IDEA OF INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO CATCH OMICRON IS ALL THE RAGE.
YES, GETTING OMICRON IS SUPER POPULAR.
I HEAR IT'S DATING PETE DAVIDSON.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT-- HE'S GOT-- HE'S GOT THAT
B.D.E.-- THE BIG DELTA ENERGY. THAT'S WHAT I HEAR!
THAT'S WHAT I HEAR! IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING!
IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING. I HAVE TO GET A NECK TATTOO.
BUT AS APPEALING AS THE NOTION OF INTENTIONALLY MAKING YOURSELF
SICK MAY BE, CNN HAS SOME PRETTY GOOD REASONS TO AVOID GETTING
THE COVID, INCLUDING: YOU COULD GET LONG COVID,
YOU'LL STRESS THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, AND DON'T MESS WITH
MOTHER NATURE, ADDING, "SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO KILL US EVER
SINCE WE CRAWLED OUT OF THE OCEAN ONTO THE LAND."
DAMN YOU, MAMA NATURE! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
( APPLAUSE ) YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WAS, FOR YEARS NOW, I HAVE BEEN AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING, BUT
NOW IT'S JUST PAYBACK TIME. I'M GOING BACK TO PLASTIC
STRAWS. COME-- COME HERE, YOU DAMN
TURTLE! COME HERE!
THERE IS NO ACTUAL TURTLE HERE, BY THE WAY.
NOW, THERE IS SOME HELP ON THE HORIZON.
THE WHITE HOUSE JUST ANNOUNCED THAT INSURERS WILL HAVE TO COVER
EIGHT AT-HOME VIRUS TESTS PER MONTH.
EIGHT PER MONTH-- SO, ONE FOR EVERY NEW VARIANT.
( LAUGHTER ) TESTS YOURSELF, WHICH MAY NOT BE
EASY, BECAUSE WITH SKYROCKETING DEMAND, RAPID ANTIGEN TESTS ARE
HARD TO FIND. AND EVEN WHEN YOU DO FIND THEM,
YOU MUST FIRST BATTLE THE SELF-CHECKOUT MACHINE AT CVS:
"NO, NO, YOU'RE AN UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA!
YOU ARE! WHAT?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
OF COURSE I WANT A BAG! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, CARRY
THIS TUBE OF CREST TO MY CAR CLUTCHED IN MY BUTTCHEEKS?"
( LAUGHTER ) THAT COVID HAS MUTATED INTO A
POLITICAL ISSUE. AND TODAY, THINGS GOT UGLY ON
CAPITOL HILL, WHERE DR. ANTHONY FAUCI WAS TESTIFYING IN FRONT OF
HIS OLD NEMESIS: KENTUCKY SENATOR RAND PAUL, SEEN
HERE-- ( AUDIENCE BOOING )
SEEN HERE SPORTING HIS SIGNATURE HAIRSTYLE: FETTUCCINI AL-HEAD-O.
DURING-- MMM-MMM. DURING A HEARING ABOUT THE
FEDERAL RESPONSE TO OMICRON, SENATOR PAUL ACCUSED DR. FAUCI
OF ATTACKING OTHER SCIENTISTS WHO OPPOSED COVID LOCKDOWNS, AND
THE GOOD DOCTOR HAD HAD ABOUT ENOUGH.
>> DO YOU REALLY THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO USE YOUR $420,000
SALARY TO ATTACK SCIENTISTS THAT DISAGREE WITH YOU?
>> SENATOR, THE E-MAIL YOU'RE REFERRING TO WAS AN EMAIL OF
DR. COLLINS TO ME. IF YOU LOOK AT THE E-MAIL--
>> THAT YOU RESPONDED TO AND HURRIED UP AND SAID, "I CAN DO
IT. I CAN DO IT.
WE GOT SOMETHING IN 'WIRED' MAGAZINE"--
>> NO, NO, NO. I THINK IN USUAL FASHION,
SENATOR, YOU ARE DISTORTING EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) COME ON!
TAKE OFF THE GLOVES AND THE MASK OFF.
( AS DR. FAUCI ) AND I REGRET TO INFORM YOU,
YOU'VE CONTRACTED MY BOOT IN YOUR ASS.
( APPLAUSE ) HE WENT ON TO TELL THE COMMITTEE
THE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF A SITTING SENATOR SPREADING LIES
ABOUT HIM. >> WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE GETS OUT
AND ACCUSES ME OF THINGS THAT ARE COMPLETELY UNTRUE IS THAT
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THAT KINDLES THE CRAZIES OUT THERE, AND I
HAVE LIFE-- THREATS UPON MY LIFE, HARASSMENTS OF MY FAMILY
WITH OBSCENE PHONE CALLS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LYING ABOUT ME.
>> Stephen: THAT'S JUST TERRIBLE.
DR. FAUCI SHOULD NOT BE GETTING OBSCENE PHONE CALLS FROM VIOLENT
CRAZIES. HE SHOULD BE GETTING THEM FROM
LONELY SINGLES WHO SAW HIS "INSTYLE" MAGAZINE COVER.
"HELLO, DOCTOR. DO THOSE NOVELTY SOCKS GO ALL
THE WAY UP?" BUT DR. FAUCI USED THE
SCIENTIFIC METHOD TO FIGURE OUT JUST WHAT PAUL WAS UP TO.
>> SO I ASK MYSELF, WHY WOULD THE SENATOR WANT TO DO THIS?
SO GO TO RAND PAUL WEBSITE, AND YOU SEE "FIRE DR. FAUCI" WITH A
LITTLE BOX THAT SAYS "CONTRIBUTE HERE," AND YOU CAN DO $5, $10,
$20, $100. SO YOU ARE MAKING A CATASTROPHIC
EPIDEMIC FOR YOUR POLITICAL GAIN.
( APPLAUSE ) ACCUSATION.
IN RESPONSE, RAND PAUL SENT OUT AN EMAIL:
"DR. FAUCI TRIED TO SMEAR ME BY SAYING I'M PROFITING FROM THE
PANDEMIC. PROVE HIM WRONG BY DONATING $10,
$20 OR $100 TODAY." ( APPLAUSE )
IF THERE'S ONE THING MORE CONTAGIOUS THAN COVID, IT'S
STUPID, BECAUSE RAND PAUL WAS JOINED IN HIS DUMB-DUMB ATTACKS
ON FAUCI BY KANSAS SENATOR AND MAN WHO BOUGHT HIS VENEERS BY
THE FOOT, ROGER MARSHALL. SENATOR MARSHALL ASKED FAUCI
ABOUT FAUCHI'S FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE, WHICH IS PUBLIC,
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES WORK.
AND FAUCI LET IT BE KNOWN IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS IT'S NOT HIS
FAULT IF THE SENATOR DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO GOOGLE.
AND THEN AT THE END, THE GOOD DOCTOR LET HIS REAL FEELINGS BE
KNOWN ON A HOT MIC. >> MY FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES ARE
PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AND HAVE BEEN SO.
YOU ARE GETTING AMAZINGLY WRONG INFORMATION.
>> SO I CANNOT FIND THEM. OUR OFFICE CANNOT FIND THEM.
WHERE WOULD THEY BE IF THEY'RE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE?
WHERE? >> SENATOR MARSHALL, DR. FAUCI
HAS ANSWERED YOU. IT IS PUBLIC INFORMATION, AND
HE'S HAPPY TO GIVE IT TO YOU IF YOU WOULD ASK.
SENATOR MORAN?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LIVES FOREVER ON THE INTERNET,
THE ONE PLACE WHERE SENATOR MARSHALL AND HIS STAFF WILL
NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND IT. ( LAUGHTER )
FROM THE WORLD OF MEDICINE, BECAUSE ON FRIDAY, IN A MEDICAL
FIRST, A MAN WITH TERMINAL HEART DISEASE GOT A TRANSPLANT OF
GENETICALLY MODIFIED PIG HEART. GREAT NEWS FOR THAT PATIENT.
NOW NOT ONLY DOES HE GET A NEW HEART, BUT EATING BACON IS NOW
ACTUALLY GOOD FOR IT. THE PATIENT IS RECOVERING
NICELY, AND HIS NEW HEART IS FUNCTIONING AND ALREADY DOING
MOT OF THE WORK. ( AS DOCTOR )
PATIENT IS DOING WELL. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE...
I'M AFRAID YOUR FATHER IS NO LONGER KOSHER."
( LAUGHTER ) SCIENTIFIC UNDERTAKING.
FOR STARTERS, TO SUPPRESS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND PREVENT
REJECTION, DOCTORS MADE 10 GENETIC MODIFICATIONS ON THE PIG
HEART. AMAZING.
BUT YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU MESS WITH PIG D.N. A.
WE ALL LEARNED THAT FROM THE MOVIE, "JURASSIC PORK."
( LAUGHTER ) THE POND IN THE U.K.
THEY'LL SOON BE CELEBRATING QUEEN ELIZABETH'S PLATINUM
JUBILEE, AND BRITAIN IS PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS TO MARK THE
QUEEN'S 70 YEARS ON THE BRITISH THRONE, WITH POMP, PUDDING AND
PARTIES. THERE'S EVEN A VERY-POPULAR PLAN
TO LAUNCH PRINCE ANDREW INTO THE SUN.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW-- HE DOESN'T SWEAT.
NOW, THIS IS A BIG DEAL, BECAUSE NO BRITISH MONARCH HAS EVER
SPENT 70 YEARS ON THE THRONE BEFORE.
THE CLOSEST ANY BRITISH ROYAL HAS COME IS QUEEN VICTORIA, WHO
RULED FOR 63 YEARS, WHICH EXPLAINS THE NEW ROYAL
COMMEMORATIVE CHINA: "SUCK IT, VICKI."
( LAUGHTER ) FESTIVITIES WILL CULMINATE WITH
A FOUR-DAY-LONG PUBLIC HOLIDAY STARTING ON JUNE 2.
IN FACT, "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE HAS ALREADY RELEASED THEIR
COMMEMORATIVE, "THE QUEEN WILL DEFINITELY LIVE UNTIL JUNE"

GRATEFUL TO EVERYBODY WHO COMES ON THIS SHOW.
I LOVE ALL MY GUESTS EQUALLY. BUT OUR GUEST TONIGHT, BRADLEY
COOPER, IS AN EXTRAORDINARY ARTIST.
I THINK I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE-- IT ALMOST MAKES ME ANGRY HOW
MULTITALENTED HE IS. >> Jon: OH, YEAH.

WHICH HE ALSO DIRECTED. EXTRAORDINARY.
HE'S ON TONIGHT FOR A FILM BY GUILLERMO DEL TORO, A DIRECTOR I
ABSOLUTELY LOVE. IT'S "NIGHTMARE ALLEY."
AND I WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT ( WHISTLES )
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. THE FIRST 15 MINUTES, I'M LIKE,
"I WONDER WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE?"
>> Jon: WHAT GENRE IS IT. >> Stephen: NOIR.
A MUCH-ABUSED STYLE IN MY OPINION.
AND IT'S NOIR, AND CARNIVAL. I THOUGHT I WONDER WHAT THIS IS
GOING TO BE? A HALF HOUR IN, I WAS LIKE MY
GOD. THIS IS FANTASTIC.
YOU HAVE CATE BLANCHETT, BRADLEY COOPER, WILLEM DAFOE IN THERE.

CAN YOU GIVE IT AWAY? >> Stephen: I CANNOT.

>> Stephen: BUT LEGALLY I'M NOT ALLOWED TO.
BUT I-- I WATCHED THE WHOLE FILM, AND I-- OF COURSE I WATCH
EVERY FILM OF EVERYONE WHO EVER COMES ON THE SHOW.
AND I READ EVERY BOOK, AND I WATCH EVERY TELEVISION SHOW.
>> Jon: RIGHT. YEAH, OF COURSE.
>> Stephen: IT'S NOT LIKE THIS IS SPECIAL THAT I WATCHED THE
FILM. I DO THAT ALWAYS.
>> Jon: RIGHT, OF COURSE. >> Stephen: TO EVERY-- I JUST
WATCHED THIS ONE MORE. ( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: TWICE, YEAH. FOLKS, Y'KNOW, I SPEND A LOT OF
TIME ON THE SHOW-- IF YOU WATCH THE SHOW YOU FIGURED THIS OUT,
RIGHT OVER THERE, SPELUNKING THROUGH THE DAY'S STORIES TO
SELECT AND SOURCE THE NEWSIEST MARBLE, CHISELING IT INTO A
PEDESTAL OF HUMOR AS WIDE AS TWO GREEK ISLES.
THEN I CAST THE MOST TOPICAL CURRENT-EVENTS-BRONZE INTO A
FINELY CRAFTED MOULD TO ERECT FOR YOU THE TOWERING GRECIAN
COLOSSUS THAT IS MY NIGHTLY MONOLOGUE.
BUT SOMETIMES, JUST SOMETIMES, FOLKS, I JOLT AWAKE INSIDE
WHAT'S LEFT OF A RUSTED MAZDA MIATA IN A WHITE CLAW AND
OVEN-CLEANER-INDUCED FUGUE STATE, SHAMBLE THROUGH THE
JUNKYARD, RANSACKING THE DEBRIS FOR OLD FISHING RODS, MELTED

ACETYLENE TORCH TO HASTILY WELD TOGETHER THE BOOTLEG

>> MEANWHILE! ( APPLAUSE )
ANTISEPTIC. IT'S AN ANTISEPTIC.
MEANWHILE, A NEW STUDY SAYS YOU CAN FIGHT MIDLIFE CRISIS AND
FIND SPIRITUAL MEANING WITH SKATEBOARDING-- BECAUSE NOTHING
PUTS A PEP IN A MIDDLE-AGED STEP LIKE A SHATTERED CLAVICLE.
( LAUGHTER ) COME ACROSS SUCH IMPORTANT
OCEAN-BASED NEWS THAT IT REQUIRES ITS OWN UNDERWATER
SUB-SEGMENT, WHICH WE CALL MARINE-WHILE!
MARINE-WHILE, RESEARCHERS SAY THAT FEMALE DOLPHINS HAVE A
CLITORIS MUCH LIKE HUMANS'. THIS IS SUCH A GROUNDBREAKING
REPORT, THAT IT CAN ONLY BE COVERED IN MY
GENITALS-OF-OCEANLIFE SUB-SUBSEGMENT
MARINE-WHILE VAGINE-WHILE. ( APPLAUSE )
DISSECTING SEVERAL DOLPHIN SPECIMENS, RESEARCHERS
IDENTIFIED AN UNMISTAKABLE CLITORIS THE SIZE OF AN AA
BATTERY AND THE COLOR OF SPAM. THAT ANSWERS A LOT OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT DOLPHIN ANATOMY, BUT RAISES QUITE A FEW MORE
QUESTIONS ABOUT SPAM. ( LAUGHTER )
THERE. MEANWHILE, SCIENTISTS HAVE FOUND
THAT SOME PEOPLE LOVE GAZING AT THEMSELVES IN VIDEO MEETINGS.
OH, PLEASE. PEOPLE, FOCUS!

>> THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THAT. >> Stephen: AND IT IS-- I
WATCH EVERY MOVIE. >> OF COURSE YOU DO.
>> Stephen: I WATCH EVERY MOVIE.
IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT FILM.
AND IT'S THIS PERFECTLY EXECUTED NOIRWHICH, AS I WAS SAYING TO
JON, IS KIND OF AN ABUSED FORM THESE DAYS.
I THINK IT'S THE GREATEST MODERN NOIR FILM.
AND I'M JUST CURIOUS, THIS IS THE-- I UNDERSTAND YOU SIGNED UP
FOR THIS RIGHT OUT OF "A STAR IS BORN."
>> UH, KIND OF. ACTUALLY, I WAS GOING TO DO
ANOTHER MOVIE THAT I'VE BEEN WRITING FOR, LIKE, FOUR YEARS.
BUT THEN-- BUT THEN-- AND I KNEW GUILLERMO WAS GOING TO MAKE THE
MOVIE AND I WAS A HUGE FAN OF HIS FROM "SHAPE OF WATER," AND
OTHERS. AND I KNEW LEONARDO DICAPRIO WHO
IS A FRIEND OF MINE AND I ADMIRE TREMENDOUSLY, AND HE DROPPED
OUT. MY FRIEND AND AGENT DAVE SAID,
"GUILLERMO WANTS TO MEET WITH YOU."
AND I WAS LIKE, "REALLY?" HONESTLY, MAYBE THIS SOUNDS
CRAZY, BUT JUST THE FACT THAT I WAS THE SECRETARY IN LINE, LIKE,
AFTER LEO HE WAS GOING TO GO TO ME.
I WAS LIKE, "I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT."
THE CAST WAS ALREADY ASSEMBLED. HE ALREADY HAD CATE BLANCHETT
AND WILLEM DAFOE. AND I WAS LIKE OF COURSE I'M
GOING TO DO IT. >> Stephen: LET'S TALK A
LITTLE MORE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER WHO IS STANTON CARLISLE.
HE'S SOMETHING OF A DRIFTER. >> YES.
>> Stephen: BUT CLEARLY A FIERCELY INTELLIGENT PERSON.
>> YES. >> Stephen: YOU KNOW, A VERY
QUICK STUDY, SHALL WE SAY. FACILE.
>> A SURVIVOR. >> Stephen: YES.
NOW, I'M CURIOUS, EVERYBODY IN THE MOVIE, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT
IS A CARNY. A LOT OF THE CHARACTERS ARE.
AND A LOT OF THEM ARE GRIFTERS OF SOME KIND OR ANOTHER.
>> RIGHT, YEAH. >> Stephen: AND I'M CURIOUS,
AS AN ACTOR, IN WHAT WAYS DO YOU RELATE TO THAT?
OR WHAT WAYS DO YOU-- MAYBE ANOTHER WAY TO PUT IT IS HOW DO
YOU AVOID BEING THAT AS AN ACTOR?
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE NOMEN-- >> HOW ABOUT AS A PERSON.
>> Stephen: WELL, OKAY, OKAY, SURE, AS A PERSON.
HOW DO YOU AVOID DOING THAT? >> BEING UTTERLY MANIPULATIVE
ALL THE TIME. >> Stephen: TO GET WHAT YOU
WANT-- >> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: BY PRESENTING ONE FACE--
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> Stephen: THAT YOU THINK
PEOPLE WANT TO SEE. >> YES.
AND THEREIN LIES WHY THIS ROLE ACTUALLY WAS VERY HARD IN THE
END. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE OLDER YOU
GET, THE OLDER I GET, I JUST WANT TO DO-- REALLY DON'T ACT.
DO AS MUCH PREPARATION AS I CAN, AND WE HAD SIX MONTHS TO
PREPARE, WHICH WAS WONDERFUL. AND GUILLERMO AND I WE WORKED ON
THE SCRIPT WITH CATE AND ROONEY AND CAME UP WITH WHAT'S THE
STORY. AND WE GOT THERE AND IT FELT
LIKE WE INVOKED STANTON CARLISLE.
THE VOICE ALONE. WE WORKED ON THE VOICE.
TIM MONACO WHO I HAVE WORKED WITH, DERIN BROWN, I GOT TO WORK
WITH HIM. AND REALLY HONED EVERYTHING.
SO THIS GUY KIND OF EXISTED. AND GUILLERMO AND I KIND OF
WATCHED WHAT STANTONT WAS GOING TO DO EVERY DAY.
>> Stephen: STANTON CARLISLE STARTS OUT AS A MIDWAY
MENTALIST. >> HE STARTS OUT AS A GRIFTER
AND LEARNS ABOUT MENTALISM FROM DAVID STRAHHAN'S CHARACTER, AND
YOU USE THEM AND STRIVE OFF OF THOSE SKILLS.
ALL HE DOES IS MANIPULATE. AND IT DEFINITELY DID KIND OF
MESS ME UP A LITTLE BIT. IT WAS DARK.
IT WAS A DARK FILM. >> Stephen: DO YOU THINK YOU
COULD DO THAT WITH YOUR OWN STUDY OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR?
BECAUSE SO MUCH OF IT IS TRYING TO PERCEIVE IN SOMEONE ELSE THE
NEED THAT THEY WON'T NAME PUBLICLY, AND THEN GIVING THEM
THE THING THAT THEY WISH THEY COULD ASK FOR.
>> YES. I MEAN, CATE'S CHARACTER SAYS,
"WHAT DO I WANT?" AND HE SAYS, "WHAT EVERYBODY
WANTS-- TO BE FOUND OUT." AND YOU HIT THEM WHERE IT
COUNTS-- HEALTH, WEALTH, LOVE. FIND OUT WHAT THEY'RE AFRAID OF
AND SELL IT BACK TO THEM AS LONG AS YOU DON'T OVERSELL IT.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP HERE.
DO YOU WANT TO SET IT UP? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO
SAY BEFORE WE SEE THIS NEXT CLIP?
IT'S A-- IT'S A VERY INTERESTING MOMENT IN THIS FILM.
>> WELL, THIS CLIP THAT WE'RE GOING TO WATCH WAS-- WE WERE
TERRIFIED OF THIS SCENE, ALL OF US, GUILLERMO AND MYSELF,
REALLY. IT'S AN IMPORTANT SCENE, AND
IT'S A SCENE THAT A LOT OF THE MOVIE IS LEADING TOWARDS.
SO WE ACTUALLY HAD A ROAMING SET THAT WE COULD TAKE WITH US EVERY
DAY IN CASE WE DIDN'T GET IT. BECAUSE WE WERE BOTH KIND OF
TERRIFIED THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN.
ISN'T THAT NUTS? >> Stephen: SO, LIKE, WE
DIDN'T GET IT, LET'S TRY IT AGAIN TOMORROW AND IT WOULD
ALWAYS BE READY TO GO? >> YES.
IT WOULD ALWAYS BE READY. IT TAKES PLACE IN THE TRAILER,
WE SHOOT TIM BLAKE NELSON AND WE WOULD HAVE THE FOOT ANNUAL JUST
IN CASE. WE ALSO CAME UP WITH ANOTHER
SCENE THAT COULD HAVE COME AFTER, THAT UP ON THE OF FEAR OF
IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN? ON THE DAY, THE TAKE YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE IS ONE TAKE, FIRST TAKE, IT ALL JUST HAPPENED.
AND IT WAS KIND OF A MAGICAL MOMENT.
>> Stephen: JIM? >> IT AIN'T MUCH, BUT IT'S A
JOB, RIGHT? >> OF COURSE, IT'S ONLY
TEMPORARY. JUST UNTIL WE GET A REAL GEEK.
.YOU KNOW WHAT A GEEK IS? >> SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?
YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT?
>> I WAS BORN FOR IT. ( APPLAUSE )
SAID. THERE'S NOTHING TO BE SAID,
UNFORTUNATELY, RIGHT NOW. A STRANGELY SATISFYING MOMENT,
OR A STRANGELY-- IT'S A STRANGE CONSUMMATION OF A LOT OF OTHER
EVENTS THAT MOMENT RIGHT THERE. >> 100%.
>> Stephen: ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DRINK THE WHEN I HAVE BEENY.
>> YEAH. >> Stephen: ESPECIALLY WHEN
YOU TAKE THAT SECOND SHOT. >> OH, MAN.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
I WILL ASK BRADLEY COOPER ABOUT HIS OTHER NEW MOVIE, "LICORICE
PIZZA," AND THE ODD CONNECTION HE HAS TO THE CHARACTER HE
PLAYS. STICK AROUND.
WE'RE BACK HERE WITH BRADLEY COOPER.
YOU HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY DURING COVID DOING MOVIES.
DID YOU SHOOT THIS DURING COVID? >> WE SHOT IT AND STOPPED.
WE SHOT THE SECOND HALF OF THE MOVIE FIRST, WHICH IS KIND OF
INSANE. WHEN WE SHUT DOWN FOR COVID FOR
SIX MONTHS, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, CAME BACK
THE END OF SEPTEMBER, AND IN THAT TIME, WE GOT TO EDIT THAT
PART. THE MOVIE ACTUALLY HAS TWO
SECTIONS. THERE'S A CARNIVAL, AND FAST
FORWARD TWO YEARS LATER. SO IT REALLY INFORMED US OF WHAT
WE COULD THEN MINE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE MOVIE THAT WOULD PAY
OFF IN THE SECOND AND IT WAS INVALUABLE.
I WAS TIEBL LOSE WEIGHT SO THAT HE'S VERY-- YOU KNOW, HE'S
LIVING OFF THE LAND. HE'S GOT NOTHING IN THE FIRST,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE'S IN BUFFALO AND LIVING IN A
WONDERFUL HOTEL AND EATING ROOM SERVICE EVERY DAY.
SO HE'S A LITTLE MORE PLUMP. AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT,
WHICH I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO.
>> Stephen: WHAT A LUXURY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, TO MAKE THAT
PLAN. >> AND PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON
CALLED ME, AND HE'S A HERO, I WAS GOING TO GIVE UP ACTING.
"PUNCH DRUNK LOVE" WAS RELEASED, I THINK IN 2007.
I WENT TO THE LANDMARK IN L .A. AND WATCHED THE 12:30 P .M. AND I
THOUGHT I CAN NEVER GIVE UP. I DON'T WANT TO BE SOMEWHERE
ELSE WHEN THIS MOVIE IS OUT AND THINK I DIDN'T TRY.
HE ASKED ME TO DO A SMALL ROLE IN THE FILM.
AND I SHOT THAT DURING "NIGHTMARE ALLEY."
>> Stephen: AND THAT'S "LICORICE PIZZA."
>> THAT'S "LICORICE PIZZA," YES. >> Stephen: YOU PLAY A PART
BASED ON THE REAL LIFE OF LEGENDARY PRODUCER JOHN PETERS.
HERE HE IS THREATENING TO BURN SOMEONE WITH GASOLINE.
>> IT'S THE GAS CRISIS IN THE 70s IN THE VALLEY, AND HIS
FERRARI HAS RUN OUT OF GAS ON HIS WAY TO PICK UP BARBRA
STREISAND TO GO TO THE MOVIES. HE WAS GOING OUT WITH BARBRA
STREISAND. HE WAS A HAIR DRESSER AND BECAME
AN INFAMOUS PRODUCER IN HOLLYWOOD AND PRODUCED "A STAR
IS BORN," IRONICALLY ENOUGH. >> Stephen: WAS HE A FUN GUY
TO PLAY? >> YEAH
( LAUGHS ). >> Stephen: YOU MUST KNOW HIM.
>> YEAH, I GOT TO-- WELL, I HAD TO-- I MEAN, THE TRUTH IS, IF IT
WASN'T FOR JOHN PETERS, I NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE "A
STAR IS BORN," BECAUSE HE DEFERD HIS GRANDFATHERED FEE HE COULD
GET. WE MADE IT ON A RELATIVE SHOE
STRING, THAT MOVIE. IF HE DIDN'T DEFER, I WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE MOVIE.
>> Stephen: NOT THE-- HAVE YOU SEEN HIM SINCE YOU PLAYED THAT.
>> I HAVE NO IDEA, NO. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE
ANOTHER BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK, I WILL ASK
BRADLEY ABOUT HOW HE GOT HIS NEW DIRECTING GIG, MAESTRO, ABOUT
LEONARD BERNSTEIN.
WE'RE BACK HERE WITH BRADLEY COOPER.
YOU KNOW WHAT A BIG FAN I AM OF "A STAR IS BORN," AS I SAID
BEFORE. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE
STARTING-- ( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: YOU'RE GOING TO START DIRECTING YOUR SECOND
FILM. >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: OKAY, AND THIS IS BASED ON LEONARD BERNSTEIN,
CALLED "MAESTRO." >> YES.
>> Stephen: HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT?
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S A WEIRD THING. I'VE BEEN SO LUCKY.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD PLAY A ROCK STAR MUSICIAN, AND I
GOT TO DO "A STAR IS BORN." WHEN I WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD, I
ASKED SANTA CLAUS FOR A BATON, BECAUSE I WAS OBSESSED WITH
CONDUCTING CLASSICAL MUSIC. >> Stephen: WHY DOES AN
EIGHT-- DID YOU PLAY A CLASSICAL INSTRUMENT?
>> I PLAYED THE BASS WHICH, WOW, YEAH.
BY THE WAY. ( APPLAUSE )
WOW. >> Stephen: DID YOU WANT TO
CONDUCT? >> YES.
OH, YES. I WAS OBSESSED WITH IT.
I SPENT HUNDREDS OF HOURS-- I'M NOT KIDDING.
LIKE, I REALLY-- YOU PUT YOUR 10,000 HOURS IN FOR SOMETHING
YOU NEVER DO. I DID IT FOR CONDUCTING.
>> Stephen: JUST PRETEND CONDUCTING.
>> I DON'T KNOW, I JUST-- THERE WAS SOMETHING.
REMEMBER BUGS BUNNY AND TOM & JERRY.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY. >> AND THAT WAS ALSO THE--
REMEMBER MY BABY, THE CAT DOES THAT IN THE CARTOON?
ANYWAY. I WAS A BIG TOM & JERRY FAN.
AND SO STEPHEN SPIELBERG KNEW THAT.
HE HAPPENED TO KNOW THAT I HAD THIS OBSESSION WITH CONDUCTING,
LIKE IN GRAD SCHOOL I CREATED-- YOU KNOW YOU DO A THING-- I DID
LIKE AN M.F.A., AND YOU CREATE A CHARACTER AND I CREATED A
CONDUCTOR AND WROTE A MONOLOGUE SO IT WAS SOMETHING ALWAYS
INSIDE OF ME. I SAID THERE'S A PROJECT CALLED
"MAESTRO" THAT HE MIGHT DIRECT. >> Stephen: HE MIGHT DIRECT.
>> AT THAT TIME. AND YOU WOULD READ IT TO MAYBE
PLAY THE GUY. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
LEONARD BERNSTEIN. I SAID I JUST WROTE AND DIRECTED
THIS MOVIE AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I WANT TO DO.
ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO DIRECT THIS?
AND HE SAID I'M PROBABLY NOT GOING TO.
AND I SAID, "CAN I SHOW YOU 'A STAR IS BORN'?
I'M JUST IN THE MIDDLE OF COLORING IT.
IF YOU LIKE IT, CAN I RESEARCH LEONARD BERNSTEIN AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE STORY CAN BE? HE CAME TO-- LIKE, I'LL NEVER
FORGET THIS, STEPHEN. HE CAME, AND WE'RE SITTING
THERE, AND I'M SHOWING HIM "A STAR IS BORN."
AND HE'S ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE FRONT ROW, A
PRETTY HUGE SCREEN. AND IT'S THE SCENE WHERE JACKSON
CALLS ALLEY UP ON THE STAGE. THE WHOLE THING.
THE BIGGEST SCENE IN THE MOVIE. AND I'M SITTING THERE, AND RIGHT
AS SHE, LIKE, JUST IS GOING ON TO THE STAGE, HE GETS UP.
AND I THOUGHT OH, HE'S GOING TO THE BATHROOM NOW?
THAT'S IT. IT'S OVER.
IF HE'S GOING TO THE BATHROOM AT THIS POINT IN THE MOVIE WHERE
IT'S ALL LITERALLY LIKE-- THERE'S, LIKE, A DRUM BEAT THAT
STARTS WHEN SHE QUITS HER JOB, ALL THE WAY-- AND HE GETS UP, HE
WALKS OVER, AND I'M PUTTING MY HEAD DOWN.
AND I PUT MY HEAD DOWN, AND THE NEXT THING I FEEL HIS FACE AND
HE SAID-- BECAUSE IT'S LOUD BECAUSE OF THE GUITAR.
AND HE SAID, "YOU'RE ( BLEEP ) DIRECTING 'MAESTRO'," AND HE SAT
BACK DOWN. AND IT WAS AMAZING.
IT WAS AMAZING. >> Stephen: AN AMAZING MOMENT.
>> IT WAS AMAZING. ( APPLAUSE ).
WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE. >> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: "NIGHTMARE ALLEY" AND "LICORICE PIZZA" ARE IN
THEATERS NOW. BRADLEY COOPER, EVERYBODY.
