( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
HELLO, MY FRIENDS. HELLO!
THANKS, EVERYBODY. ISN'T THAT PLEASANT.
ISN'T THAT PLEASANT RIGHT THERE. LOVELY PEOPLE.
WELCOME, WELCOME,s ONE AND ALL, IN HERE, OUT THERE, ALL
AROUND THE WORLD, ON SHIP-TO-SHORE RADIO.
WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW." I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) FIVE.
WE ARE FIVE WEEKS INTO RUSSIAS' UNLAWFUL AND BRUTAL INVASION OF
UKRAINE, RUSSIA STILL CANNOT OVERCOME UKRAINE'S FIERCE
RESISTANCE-- ALSO, THEIR BASIC INCOMPETENCE.
THEIR GROUND FORCES ARE-- AND I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO TECHNICAL
HERE-- A BUCKET OF HOT DOO-DOO. ( LAUGHTER )
RUNNING LOW ON EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING CAMOUFLAGE, WHICH IS
WHY THEY'VE RESORTED TO USING TREE BRANCHES AND STRAW TO
CONCEAL TANKS AND OTHER ARMORED VEHICLES.
OKAY, SO, USING FOREST CAMO USING FOUND MATERIALS DOESN'T
SOUND THAT BAD. CAN WE SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE?
WHERE DID THE TRUCKS GO? OH, I SEE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HEDGE. THAT LOOKS LIKE A LINE OF TRUCKS
GOT A GROUPON FOR HAIR PLUGS. MAYBE THEY'RE NOT DONE.
IS THERE ANY WAY THEY CAN MAKE THAT CAMO MORE CONVINCING?
THERE YOU GO. ( APPLAUSE )
TOP, WHILE OTHER RUSSIAN UNITS HAVE TRIED HIDING THEIR VEHICLES
WITH FESTIVE GARLANDS. THOSE TANKS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE
DECORATED BY A DIVORCED DAD WHO FORGOT ABOUT CHRISTMAS.
( AS DAD ) HAD ALL THESE LEFTOVER BRANCHES.
HEY! SANTA GOT YOU HALF A BOTTLE OF
HUGO BOSS COLOGNE AND AN IPHONE 6 CHARGER."
THE. RUSSIAN TROOPS ARE ALSO TRYING
TO CAMOUFLAGE THEIR TANKS WITH SWATHS OF CARPETING.
NOW, I'M NO MILITARY EXPERT, BUT I BELIEVE IF YOU WANT TO
CAMOUFLAGE A TANK, MAYBE DISGUISE IT AS SOMETHING THAT
MOVES. ( RUSSIAN )
JUST NORMAL PILE OF CARPET, SLOWLY RUMBLING DOWN THE
STREET." OF COURSE, IF YOU NEED CARPETING
TO HIDE YOUR TANK, YOU GOTTA CALL THE EXPERTS AT
♪ 800-588-2300-WAR CRIMES TODAY ♪
THERE'S AN UPDATE-- ( APPLAUSE )
THE FIRST AND MOST DRAMATIC STORIES OUT OF UKRAINE.
YOU'LL REMEMBER, RIGHT AT THE START OF THE INVASION, THERE WAS
A UKRAINIAN MILITARY UNIT PROTECTING A PLACE CALLED SNAKE
ISLAND. AND THE SOLDIERS, A GROUP OF
THEM, WHO WERE GUARDING THE ISLAND, WERE TOLD TO SURRENDER
IMMEDIATELY. AND THIS IS HOW ONE OF THOSE
SOLDIERS ANSWERED. >> RUSSIAN WARSHIP GO (BLEEP)
YOURSELF. >> Stephen: THAT WAS SO BALLSY,
THAT WAS-- ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
HAS BECOME A BATTLE CRY FOR THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.
THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT-- AND THIS IS TRUE-- ACTUALLY ISSUED
A COMMEMORATIVE STAMP, FEATURING THE SOLDIER FLIPPING THE
NATIONAL BIRD. WHAT?
GIVEN WHAT RUSSIA'S DONE TO
UKRAINE, I HOPE THAT'S A GO ( BLEEP ) YOURSELF FOREVER
STAMP. BEST OF ALL-- IT IT NEVER LOSES
VALUE. NEVER LOSES.
BEST OF ALL, IT TURNS OUT THOSE BRAVE SOLDIERS WHO ORIGINALLY
THOUGHT WERE KILLED SURVIVED. AND LAST WEEK, THEY WERE FREED
IN A PRISONER SWAP. THE RUSSIANS TRADED THEM FOR A
MINOR LEAGUE SHORTSTOP. ( LAUGHTER )
HAS AWARDED THE POTTY-MOUTHED
HERO WITH A MEDAL FOR HIS SERVICE.
YES. HE HAS--
( APPLAUSE ) IT'S LEAST YOU CAN DO.
HE'S RECEIVED THE PRESTIGIOUS PURPLE FINGER.
( LAUGHTER ) PUNISHING RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS WITH
SANCTIONS AND SEIZURES. AND I'LL CATCH YOU UP IN THE
LATEST INSTALLMENT OF MY J.D. POWER AND ASSOCIATES
AWARD-WINNING SERIES: YACHT GACHT CACHT...
JACKPACHT! ON TODAY'S EPISODE, A
$49 MILLION RUSSIAN SUPERYACHT HAS BEEN DETAINED BY U.K.
OFFICIALS NEAR LONDON. OKAY, THAT'S GOOD.
ONE SMALL THING: FOR A WHOLE MONTH, WE'VE BEEN HEARING
STORIES ABOUT $120 MILLION SUPERYACHTS, $580 MILLION
RUSSIAN SUPERYACHTS, AND EVEN $600 MILLION SUPERYACHTS.
$49 MILLION? THAT'S NOT A SUPERYACHT.
THAT'S AT BEST A MEGA-DINGHY. ( LAUGHTER )
CHRISTEN IT THE S.S. "KIRKLAND SIGNATURE BLEND."
( LAUGHTER ) IT'S NOT A SUPERYACHT!
A SUPERYACHT-- >> BARELY QUALIFIES, BARELY
QUALIFIES. >> Stephen: SUPERYACHT HAS
ANOTHER YACHTED IN OF IT. THE SHIP WAS NABBED WHEN IT WAS
IN TOWN FOR A SUPERYACHT AWARDS CEREMONY.
OF COURSE, AT THE SUPERYACHT AWARDS CEREMONY, CATEGORIES
INCLUDE BEST BOAT, BIGGEST BEST BOAT BOY, RICHEST BEST BIG
STRONG BOAT MAN, AANND... SMALLEST PENIS.
( LAUGHTER ) WIALL OF THEM.
THEY ALL WIN. EVERYONE GETS ONE.
IT'S LIKE A PARTICIPATION TROPHY.
OF AND, HEY, RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS, HERE'S A PRO TIP: IF YOU DON'T
WANT TO SEE YOUR BIG BOAT ON YACHT GACHT CACHT, JACKPACHT,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO LIMIT YOUR GUEST LIST, BECAUSE RUSSIAN
OLIGARCHS KEEP GETTING SCREWED OVER BY YACHT SELFIES, MOSTLY
TAKEN BY EAGER PASSENGERS LIKE A STEP-DAUGHTER, EX-WIFE, AND IN
ONE CASE AN ESCORT. THAT IS ROUGH.
TRAPPED BY A THIRST TRAP. YOU KNOW WHAT?
THEY SHOULD JUST HIDE THE LOCATION OF THE BOAT BETTER.
HAVE THEM CONSIDER COVERING THEIR YACHTS WITH CARPET AND
LOOSE PINE BRANCHES. NOT EVERYONE, OF COURSE, OUT
THERE IS STANDING UP FOR UKRAINE.
TAKE FORMER PRESIDENT, THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G.O.T.
YESTERDAY, HE HAD AN INTERVIEW ON-- AND I ( BLEEP ) 3 NOT-- THE
"JUST THE NEWS" TELEVISION SHOW ON THE REAL AMERICA'S VOICE
NETWORK. THE RIGHT-WING NEWS OUTLETS THAT
OUR FORMER PRESIDENT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO APPEARING ON.
OKAY, YOUR NEXT INTERVIEW IS GOING TO BE WITH EAGLE FREEDOM
GUN EAGLE GASWREZ. ANYWAY, DURING THE INTERVIEW,
THE FORMER PRESIDENT CALLED ON VLADIMIR PUTIN TO RELEASE DIRT
ON HUNTER BIDN. DAMN, HE'S ASKING FOR RUSSIAN
HELP THROUGH THE TV AGAIN? DOES THIS MAN HAVE NO SHAME?
AND I WITHDRAW THE QUESTION. ( LAUGHTER )
IMPECCABLE. HE REMINDED THE WORLD THAT PUTIN
IS HIS BUDDY AT THE EXACT MOMENT THAT EVERYONE REALIZES THAT HIS
BUDDY IS ACTUAL HITLER. THIS IS WORSE THAN LAST YEAR,
WHEN JELL-O RE-SIGNED BILL COSBY TO ANNOUNCE THEIR NEW FLAVOR:
"OUT ON A TECHNICALITY ORANGE." ( LAUGHTER )
I BET IT'S DELICIOUS. IT'S NOT THE JELL-O'S FAULT.
HERE'S THE STUPID: THE FORMER PRESIDENT ALLEGES THAT THE
BIDENS GOT $3.5 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE MAYOR OF MOSCOW'S WIFE.
BUT NEITHER HE, NOR ANYONE, HAS ANY EVIDENCE.
INSTEAD, HE SIMPLY TOLD THE HOST, "I WOULD THINK PUTIN WOULD
KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. I THINK HE SHOULD RELEASE IT."
IT'S GENERALLY FROWNED UPON FOR U.S. PRESIDENTS, CURRENT OR
FORMER, TO SOLICIT OUR MURDEROUS MORTAL ENEMIES FOR DIRT ON THEIR
POLITICAL RIVALS, EVER SINCE REAGAN SAID THIS:
>> MISTER GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN WALTER MONDALE'S KIDS!
( LAUGHTER ) THE GIPPER DID THAT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE GIPPER DID THAT.
CAN'T BELIEVE THAT. SPEAKING OF RIGHT-WING WEIRDOS,
THERE'S SOME SPLASH-BACK TO THE STORY FROM NORTH CAROLINA
CONGRESSMAN AND HAUNTED JACK-IN-THE-BOX, MADISON
CAWTHORN. RECENTLY CAWTHORN MADE THIS
EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS THAT HIS REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES
IN CONGRESS ARE ORGY-FREQUENTING DEGENERATES WITH A FONDNESS FOR
HARD DRUGS. GIVEN THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE
G.O.P., I ASSUME THEY'RE SNORTING BONIVA.
( LAUGHTER ) MY FEMUR IS HARDER THAN A
DIAMOND! I'LL FILIBUSTER ANYTHING THAT
MOVES!" CAWTHORN SAID THE COCAINE ORNLY
PEOPLE WERE PEOPLE HE LOOKED UP TO, BUT SO FAR, HE HASN'T NAMED
ANY NAMES. HOWEVER, ON MONDAY, ON THIS
SHOW, I FLOATED THIS THEORY: THE STRANGELY FOLKSY NATURE OF
"SEXUAL GET-TOGETHER" MEANS HE MUST BE TALKING ABOUT THE FAMED
REPUBLICAN FLESH PIT: "CHUCK GRASSLEY'S ASS JAMBOREE."
NOW, AS OF THIS TAPING, SENATOR GRASSLEY HAS NOT DENIED OUR
ALLEGATION. ( LAUGHTER )
THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT. IS THAT CORRECT?
HAVE WE REACHED OUT? HAVE WE REACHED AROUND?
NO? WELL, THEN I WILL ASK HIM NOW.
I WILL ASK HIM NOW OFFICIALLY: SENATOR, DO YOU, IN FACT, HOLD
AN ANNUAL ASS JAMBOREE? SIR, AT LONG LAST, DO YOU BACK
IT UP LIKE A TONKA TRUCK? ( LAUGHTER )
RIGHT TO KNOW. THE G.O.P. RANK AND FILE ARE NOW
RESPONDING TO CAWTHORN'S COMMENTS, AND THEY ARE NOT
HAPPY. REPRESENTATIVE DAN CRENSHAW OF
TEXAS SAID, "IT DOES PAINT THE PICTURE HERE THAT ISN'T
ACCURATE." THANK GOD, BECAUSE THAT PICTURE
IS TOO AWFUL TO BE REAL. I'VE INTERVIEWED 80 MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS. AND I'D HAVE SEX WITH TWO AND A
HALF OF THEM. NOT AT THE SAME TIME, OF COURSE.
I'M NOT IN THE G.O.P. ONE PERSON WHO CLEARLY WASN'T
INVITED TO THE BIG-TENT PARTY WAS LOUIE GOHMERT OF TEXAS, WHO
SAID, "I HAVEN'T SEEN THOSE PARTIES.
SO I NEED TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT BEFRE I COMMENT, BECAUSE
THAT JUST SEEMS RATHER BIZARRE." OKAY, HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT
THIS? THAT'S GOT ME DOUBTING
CAWTHORN'S STORY. BECAUSE YOU'RE TELLING ME
CONGRESSIONAL ORGIES ARE HAPPENING AND LOUIE GOHMERT
ISN'T A FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK? I HEAR THE CARPET MATCHES THE
SCALP. ( LAUGHTER )
TONIGHT. MY GUESTS ARE ELLE FANNING AND
BEN SCHWARTZ. BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, HAVE YOU
EVER WISHED SOMEONE WOULD MAKE A DEAD-EYED ROBOT CHILD?
YOU'RE IN LUCK. ♪ ♪ ♪
WELCOME BACK. GIVE IT UP FOR THE BAND RIGHT
THERE. STAY HUMAN.
LEWIS, LEWIS, TWO DELIGHTFUL YOUNG PERFORMERS ON THE SHOW
TONIGHT. ELLE FANNING IS GOING TO BE HERE
ON THE SHOW TONIGHT. AND FROM "SONIC HEDGEHOG 2",
SONIC HIMSELF, BEN SCHWARTZ IS GOING TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
( APPLAUSE ) OUT SO FAR THIS WEEK, BECAUSE
HE'S OUT THERE PREPPING FOR THE GRAMMYS.
AND JOE IS OUT IN LOS ANGELES. ARE THEY ALSO PREPPING FOR THE
GRAMMYS? WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
>> I THINK THEY'RE IN VEGAS, AND I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO HELP
JON CARRY THE AWARDS. HE'S NOMINATED FOR 11.

THERE YOU GO. I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE SOMEONE
VERY SPECIAL JOINING US TONIGHT. >> WE DO.
MY GOSH WE HAVE ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUNDLY INFLUENTIAL
GUITARISTS OF OUR GENERATION, MY DEAR FRIEND, ISAIAH SHARKIE ON
THE GUITAR. >> Stephen: ISAIAH, THANK YOU
FOR BEING HERE. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
( APPLAUSE ) ROBOTS-- IS WHAT I KEEP SAYING
ON NATIONAL TELEVISION SO WHEN THE MACHINES RISE UP, THEY WILL
SPARE ME. AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE
LATEST GIZMOS AND GADGA-MAJIGS IN MY ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT
SEGMENT:
( LAUGHTER ) CYBORGASM!
I HAVE TO SAY IT. I HAVE TO SAY
CYBORGASM! WE'LL TALK LATER.
FIRST UP, SCIENTISTS WORKING ON ROBOTS THAT CAN CONVEY HUMAN
NICULA, A ROBOT WITH A REALISTIC FACE.
FINALLY ANSWERING THE QUESTION, "WHAT WOULD CAILLOU'S EXPRESSION
BE RIGHT BEFORE HE STRANGLED YOU?
THE ROBOT WAS DESIGNED BY RIKEN GUARDIAN ROBOT PROJECT,
AND IT CAN SUCCESSFULLY CONVEY SIX BASIC EMOTIONS.
SO, MORE THAN VIN DIESEL. ( LAUGHTER )
VERY SIMILAR. THE EMOTIONS THAT NIKOLA CAN
EXPRESS ARE HAPPINESS, SADNESS, FEAR, ANGER, SURPRISE, AND
DISGUST. OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FULL
EMOTIONAL CYCLE OF EATING AT PAPA JOHN'S.
( LAUGHTER ) RESEARCHERS HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT
A LARGE ROBOTIC SNAKE OF UNPRECEDENTED STRENGTH,
FLEXIBILITY, AND LIFESPAN HAS BEEN BUILT TO EXPLORE SPACE.
THANK YOU, CHINA. ( LAUGHTER )
WORLDVIEW TO LOOK AT A BIG SCARY SNAKE AND THINK I WISH THAT WAS
BIGGER, STRONG EXPRK COULD NEVER DIE."
IN DESCRIBING THE PROJECT, THE CHINESE SCIENTISTS SAID THAT
THE ROBOTIC TENTACLE COULD CRUSH A SMALL SATELLITE LIKE A PYTHON
STRANGLES ITS PREY BUT THAT CHINA DOES NOT PLAN TO USE IT AS
A WEAPON. REALLY?
THAT'S A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT SOMETHIN' YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO,
CHINA. IT'S LIKE A REALTOR SAYING,
"THIS PLACE HAS A GREAT BASEMENT FOR SHACKLING UNSUSPECTING HOME
BUYERS TO A RADIATOR, BUT I DO NOT PLAN TO DO THAT.
ANYWAY, WHY DON'T YOU HEAD ON DOWN THE STAIRS AND TAKE A LOOK.
THE LIGHT SWITCH IS AT THE BOTTOM."
( LAUGHTER ) NEXT UP ON THE CYBGASM:
GUILT-RIDDEN DOG OWNERS REJOICE. ROCKI IS A NEW ROBOT COMPANION
FOR YOUR POOCH WHEN YOU'RE AWAY. ROCKI IS A SMARTPHONE-CONTROLLED
ROBOT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO INTERACT WITH YOUR PETS FROM
ANYWHERE THAT IS ALSO A $250 TREAT DISPENSER.
TAKE A LOOK. >> YOU JUST GOTTA PUSH TWO
BUTTONS ON THE SIDE HERE, AND THE TOP COMES OFF.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE 15 CHAMBERS FOR LOADING TREATS
INTO. >> Stephen: AND IF YOU WANT TO
SIMULATE THE EFFECT OF WHAT A DOG IS GOING TO DO TO THAT
ROBOT, SIMPLY ROLL A DOG TREAT INSIDE $250.
NEXT UP IN THE CYBORGASM PIT, GET READY FOR THE FIRST
REMOTE-CONTROLLED STORE ON WHEELS, WHICH WILL BE SO
CONVENIENT FOR FLORIDIANS. NOW THE JAMB JUICE CAN GET HIGH
AND CRASH INTO YOU. ( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE ) RECOGNITION.
THE STORE ON WHEELS IS A ROBOT THAT CAN SELL A VARIED
INVENTORY-- CHOCOLATES, AIRPODS, KNEE SOCKS.
PERFECT IF YOU'RE SHOPPING FOR THREE PEOPLE BUT ONLY LIKE TWO
OF THEM. ( LAUGHTER )
GOING TO HIRE 100 ROBOTS TO FLIP BURGERS.
OKAY, GREAT. ONE QUIBBLE: HOW EXACTLY DOES
ONE HIRE A ROBOT? ( AS INTERVIEWER )
IT SAYS HERE THAT YOU'RE A MACHINE BUILT FOR THE SINGULAR
PURPOSE OF DOING THIS ONE JOB. I'M SORRY, WE'RE LOOKING FOR
SOMEONE WITH A BACHELOR'S DEGREE."
THE ROBOT IN QUESTION IS THIS LONG-ARM THING, AND IT'S
NAME IS "FLIPPY 2." WHICH, OF COURSE, RAISES THE
THE TROUBLING QUESTION: ( LAUGHTER )
WHAT HAPPENED TO "FLIPPY 1?" WAS IT, MURDER?
HE PROBABLY JUST BROKE OR SOMETHING.
FLIPPY 2's MAKER RELEASED A STATEMENT, SAYING FLIPPY 2
ALLEVIATES THE PAIN POINTS THAT COME WITH BACK-OF-HOUSE ROLES AT
QUICK-SERVICE RESTAURANTS, AND ALLOWS FOR THE REDEPLOYMENT OF
TEAM MEMBERS TO FOCUS ON CREATING MEMORABLE MOMENTS FOR
CUSTOMERS. I PROMISE YOU, EVERY TIME I HAVE
EATEN AT A WHITE CASTLE, I WOULD HAVE PAID MONEY TO FORGET IT.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ELLE FANNING.
EVERYBODY! GIVE IT UP FOR ISAIAH SHARKIE,
MAN. ( APPLAUSE )

I'M SO EXCITED. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE,
DOUBLE-DECKER SITUATION. >> Stephen: I KNOW.
HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF A BIG CROWD?
>> IT HAS, REALLY. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO NEW YORK IN,
LIKE, THREE YEARS. MY SISTER LIVED HERE FOR SEVEN
YEARS, ALMOST EIGHT. BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK IN A
LONG TIME. >> Stephen: IT'S A LOVELY
PLACE. YOU SHOULD VISIT MORE, WE'RE
HAPPY TO HAVE YOU. AND BY "WE" I MEAN NEW YORK.
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PHOTOGRAPH, HERE YOU ARE HAVING

YOU WERE THERE. YOU GAVE ONE OF THE SPEECHES TO
HONOR HIM. >> DI.

KNOW, THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME? LIKE, HE IS THE GODFATHER IN

YOU PLAY MICHELLE CARTER WHO IS CONVICTED OF INVOLUNTARY
MANSLAUGHTER IN, WAS IT 2017, SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
>> YES. >> Stephen: BECAUSE SHE
BASICALLY HELPED COERCE HER BOYFRIEND INTO TAKING HIS OWN
LIFE. >> YES.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A ROLE LIKE THAT SNOOTS NOT
EXACTLY-- YOU CAN'T DO A RIDE-ALONG FOR THAT.
>> NO. >> Stephen: WHAT IS IT-- DID
YOU MEET HER? >> NO, I DID NOT MEET HER.
BUT I-- YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THIS CASE WAS A VERY RIPPED FROM
THE HEADLINES CASE. >> Stephen: CREDIBLE DARK
STORY. >> INCREDIBLY DARK, AND ENDED IN
THE MOST TRAGIC WAY THAT IT COULD.
I THINK COMING INTO IT I WANTED TO-- YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO BE-- I
HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE INVOLVED WAS REALLY TELLING THE
STORY IN A SENSITIVE WAY, BECAUSE I THINK IT COULD BE VERY
EASY TO EXPLOIT OR SENSATIONALIZE A STORY LIKE
THIS. BUT I THINK THE WAY THAT THE
MEDIA KIND OF-- THEY REALLY PAINT AID VERY ONE-DIMERCIAL WAY
OF THIS STORY. IT WAS, YOU KNOW, MICHELLE WAS
KIND OF THIS BLACK WIDOW MANIPULATOR, AND CONRAD WAS HER
VICTIM, AND HE VERY MUCH WAS A VICTIM IN THIS SITUATION.
BUT, ALSO, HE WAS PAINTED VERY ONE DIMENSIONALLY.
WE DIDN'T GET TO KNOW ABOUT THE YOUNG MAN HE WAS.
SO WE WANTED TO REALLY, HOPEFULLY WITH THIS, KIND OF
SHINE A LIGHT ON, YOU KNOW, MENTAL HEALTH AND HOW TECHNOLOGY
IS AFFECTING YOUNG PEOPLE THESE DAYS.
I MEAN, I -- >> Stephen: SUPPOSEDLY
CONNECTING PEOPLE BUT IT ACTUALLY CAN MAKE PEOPLE FEEL
HOPELESSLY ALONE. >> COMPLETELY.
THAT KIND OF FALSE INTIMACY. IT'S LIKE-- I'M AN ACTOR SO I
LIVE IN FANTASY ALL THE TIME. BUT OUR SHOW REALLY PLAYS WITH
THAT BLURRED REALITY BETWEEN-- THAT KIND OF BLURRED IN-BETWEEN
OF REALITY AND FANTASY. AND IT'S SO EASY TO GET LOST IN
THE FANTASY WHEN IT'S ALL OVER TEXTS.
THEIR RELATIONSHIP. THEY ONLY MET A HAND FULL OF
TIMES, FOUR TIMES SOAP EVERYTHING WAS OVER THE TEXT.
>> Stephen: SO HERE-- HERE YOU ARE-- HAVE YOU PLAYED A REAL
PERSON BEFORE? >> NOT LIKE THIS.
NOT SOMEONE WHO IS ALIVE. >> Stephen: THIS IS YOU ON
THIS SIDE. I HAD TO ASK.
>> THAT'S GOOD. >> Stephen: AND THIS IS
MICHELLE ON THIS SIDE. >> OH.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO GO THROUGH THAT
TRANSFORMATION? AND WHY DO YOU THINK IT WAS
IMPORTANT TO CAPTURE THAT LOOK? >> THAT WAS REALLY SPECIFIC.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE AWARE OF THE PAPARAZZI PHOTOS OF
HER COMING IN AND OUT THE COURT, AND I HAD SEEN THOSE, AND SO
SPECIFIC-- THE EYEBROW AND THE HAIR.
AND THE HAIR AND MAKEUP TEAM HELPED TRANSFORM ME.
IT WAS TWO AND A HALF HOURS EVERY DAY, AND THAT WAS JUST A
SMALL PORTION, THAT LOOK. SHE KIND OF CHANGES HER LOOK
THROUGHOUT BECAUSE IT SPANS SEVEN YEARS.
SO THAT WAS-- IT WAS EERIE TO LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR.

BACK-SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND THE EXACT COURTROOM CLOSE
SHE WORE FROM CHICO'S, AND ANNE TAYLOR, AND EVERYTHING WAS

WE'RE HERE WITH ELLE FANNING. IS THERE A REAL-WORLD PERSON

KIDMAN WOULD BE FUN, TOO. >> VERY FUN!
THAT WOULD BE GREAT! I THINK SHE WOULD LIKE IT.
I'D HAVE TO GET HER APPROVAL. THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
>> Stephen: WHO DO YOU THINK COULD PLAY YOU?
MAYBE DAKOTA? >> PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME THIS.
YEAH, DAKOTA, THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
THAT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE SENSE. >> Stephen: PEOPLE HAVE ASKED
YOU WHO WOULD PLAY YOU? >> THEY HAVE.
SOMEONE ASKED ME THAT BEFORE. >> Stephen: WOW.
>> IT'S A REALLY INTERESTING QUESTION.
WHO WOULD PLAY YOU? >> Stephen: KYLE MAGLAK LIN.
WITH A WIG. WITH A WIG.

I ONLY HAD TWO WEEKS BETWEEN BOTH PROJECTS.
I WENT FROM THE SECOND SEASON OF "THE GREAT" AND HAD TO FILM "THE
GIRL FROM PLAINVILLE." IT WAS A SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM.
I LIKE TO SHOCK MY SYSTEM THAT WAY, BUT I HAD NEVER DONE COMEDY

GET INTO THE GROOVE OF IT. I HAD TO LEARN TO EMBARRASS
MYSELF. I PEOPLE AROUND ME, I FEEL VERY
SAFE ON THAT SHOW, I LOVE THEM. >> Stephen: YOU HAD TO LEARN--
DO YOU HAVE ANY WAYS THAT YOU GET USED TO EMBARRASSING
YOURSELF? BECAUSE I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WILL
DO THINGS SPECIFICALLY TO EMBARRASS THEMSELVES TO GET OVER

WANT TO BE EMBARRASSED. >> OF COURSE NOT.
I KNOW. I THINK-- I'M A VERY-- I HAVE,
