RENDITION OF YOU BELONG WITH ME. >> SHE'S CHEER CAPTAIN AND I'M

PUBIC HAIR AND WAS YEUFERLLY DES PIESED.
>> Announcer: IT'S "THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT!"
TONIGHT: TRIAL BY FILE!
PLUS, STEPHEN WELCOMES: JASON SEGEL
AND CHUCK D FEATURING LOUIS CATO AND THE
LATE SHOW BAND! AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE
ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN NEW YORK CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
(APPLAUSE). >> Stephen: HIGH, BEAUTIFUL.
(APPLAUSE). >> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HELLO, HELLO, HELLO. HELLO.
HAPPY TUESDAY. (APPLAUSE)
PLEASE HAVE A SEAT, EVERYBODY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELCOME ONE AND ALL, TO THE LATE SHOW
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT. EVERY DAY, WE LEARN ABOUT A
NEW BATCH OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS SHOWING UP WHERE THEY
SHOULDN'T BE. AND TODAY IS YET ANOTHER DAY.
BUT, THERE'S A SURPRISE TWIST, AND IT BRINGS ME TO A NEW
INSTALLMENT OF MY ONGOING SEGMENT:
"WHAT'S UP, DOCS? MIKE PENCE EDITION."
>> AWOOGAH! >> AWOOGAH!
>> MOTHER SAYS I MUST NOT AWOOGAH.
>> Stephen: EARLIER TODAY, WE FOUND OUT THAT CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS WERE FOUND AT MIKE PENCE'S INDIANA HOME.
WOW. TOUGH NEWS FOR MIKE PENCE.
FANTASTIC NEWS FOR JOE BIDEN. (APPLAUSE)
TAKE THE HEAT OFF. UNLIKE HIS FORMER BOSS, PENCE
WASN'T HOARDING THE DOCUMENTS. HE SAYS HE TOOK THEM HOME BY
ACCIDENT, AND THEY WERE FOUND BY ONE OF HIS LAWYERS, WHO PENCE
ASKED TO CONDUCT THE SEARCH OF HIS HOME OUT OF AN "ABUNDANCE OF
CAUTION." AN "ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION" IS
ALSO WHY PENCE LEAVES THE ROOM WHEN TV COMMERCIALS COME ON.
(AS PENCE) EXCUSE ME,
"IT'S THAT TEMPTRESS FLO FROM PROGRESSIVE WITH HER LOW-CUT
APRON! I SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE AN
UNMARRIED WOMAN'S NAMEPLATE!" WE DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT
OWE-- (APPLAUSE)
THANK YOU. IT'S CHARACTER WORK, I'M NOPE
FOR MY CHARACTER WORK. WE DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT
WHAT'S IN THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS BECAUSE-- WELL,
THEY'RE CLASSIFIED. BUT WE KNOW THE LAWYER
DISCOVERED ABOUT A DOZEN DOCUMENTS WHICH HE HAS TURNED
OVER TO THE F.B.I. SO, EVIDENTLY, EVERYONE IN
GOVERNMENT JUST HAS CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS LAYING AROUND THEIR
HOUSES. WHO'S NEXT?
BERNIE SANDERS? (AS BERNIE)
"THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO SEE GOVERNMENT SECRETS ARE MY
TWO CLOSEST ADVISORS: BEN AND JERRY.
IN EXCHANGE, THEY'VE GIVEN ME TOP-LEVEL INTEL ON HOW THEY GET
THE CHUNKY IN THE MONKEY!" (APPLAUSE)
, THEY SAID I COULD HAVE MY OWN PLAY FAVOR OF ICE CREAM.
THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T MAKE ICE CREAM FROM SOUP.
CAN'T MAKE ICE CREAM SOUP. (APPLAUSE)
S WHAT A UP PAUL, HOW IS IT GOING.
PENCE'S TEAM SAID HE ACCIDENTALLY TOOK A FEW BOXES
HOME FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, AND APPARENTLY, THOSE BOXES WERE NOT
IN A SECURE AREA. COULD'VE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF
FOREIGN COUNTRIES WERE SURVEILLING HIM-- BUT I DON'T
KNOW OF ANY EVIDENCE MIKE PENCE HAS EVER BEEN BUGGED...
OH MY GOD! OH NO.
WHEN WAS THAT. WAS THAT TWO YEARS AGO OR
FIVE-- I DON'T-- SO NOW BOTH JOE BIDEN AND MIKE
PENCE HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE MATERIAL DATING FROM THE TIME
THEY WERE VICE PRESIDENT. THIS NEVER USED TO HAPPEN!
PREVIOUS VEEPS HAD METHODS TO DISPOSE OF THIS KIND OF THING:
AL GORE WOULD IMMEDIATELY RECYCLE DOCUMENTS, AND
DICK CHENEY WOULD SHOOT THEM IN THE FACE.
TRUE STORY. YOU FORGET.
SHOT A MAN IN THE FACE. NOW, FINDING THESE DOCUMENTS IN
PENCE'S HOUSE ISN'T THAT BAD-- IF YOU NEVER WATCH THIS
INTERVIEW WITH MIKE PENCE BACK IN NOVEMBER.
LET'S WATCH IT NOW. >> LET ME ASK YOU, AS WE SIT
HERE IN YOUR HOME OFFICE IN INDIANA, DID YOU TAKE ANY
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS WITH YOU FROM THE WHITE HOUSE?
>> I DID NOT. >> DO YOU SEE ANY REASON FOR
ANYONE TO TAKE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS WITH THEM, LEAVING THE
WHITE HOUSE? >> WELL, THERE'D BE NO REASON TO
HAVE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, PARTICULARLY IF THEY WERE IN AN
UNPROTECTED AREA. >> Stephen: WOW, TO THINK,
MIKE PENCE'S LEGACY COULD BE TARNISHED BY ONE STUPID MISTAKE.
WELL, TWO. STUPID MISTAKES.
(APPLAUSE) DOWN THE STREET, THAT JOKE IS
COMING DOWN THE STREET, BABY. I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS A LOT LATELY.
NOT AS MUCH AS I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT GEORGE SANTOS.
AND WE'RE NOT THE ONLY SHOW.
SINCE LAST THURSDAY, SANTOS HAS BEEN IMPERSONATED BY FOUR
DIFFERENT ACTORS, INCLUDING THE GREAT HARVEY GUILLEN ON OUR
SHOW. YOU CAN SEE THEM ALL IN THE
UPCOMING MARVEL FILM, "INTO THE SANTOS-VERSE."
I DIDN'T SEE ALL OF THOSE PERFORMANCES, BUT YOU KNOW WHO
DID? GEORGE SANTOS.
AND HE'S GOT SOME NOTES, TWEETING, "I HAVE NOW BEEN
ENSHRINED IN LATE-NIGHT TV HISTORY WITH ALL THESE
IMPERSONATIONS, BUT THEY ARE ALL TERRIBLE SO FAR.
THESE COMEDIANS NEED TO STEP THEIR GAME UP."
OKAY, GEORGE, YOU ASKED FOR IT. (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
IT'S TIME TO BREAK OUT MY GEORGE SANTOS.
(TERRIBLE DeNIRO) "MYEAH, SEE?
I'M GEORGE SANTOS, SEE? I'M VOLLEYBALL CHAMPION OF THE
WORLD, SEE? MYEAH!
BLEW OUT MY KNEES! MAA-MAA!
I RUN THIS TOWN!" (APPLAUSE)
THAT WAS ME DOING DE NIRO, DOING GEORGE SANTOS.
WHEN IT COMES TO SANTOS'S LIES, THE HITS KEEP ON COMING.
THERE'S A RECENTLY-SURFACED INTERVIEW HE DID WITH A
PORTUGUESE-LANGUAGE STATION IN WHICH HE CLAIMS HE WAS THE
TARGET OF AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, AND THAT HE RECEIVED A
THREATENING LETTER. I THINK WE ACTUALLY HAVE FOOTAGE
OF THE VANDAL WRITING THAT LETTER?
>> THIS GIRL IS THE NASTIEST SKANK (BLEEP) I'VE EVER MET.
DO NOT TRUST HER. >> Stephen: THAT'S SO MEAN.
SO MEAN. THAT'S TERRIBLE.
OH, HERE SAY FUN STORY. MORE JANUARY 6th IDIOTS ARE
GOING TO JAIL. BECAUSE YESTERDAY, FOUR MORE
MEMBERS OF THE FAR-RIGHT OATH KEEPERS WERE CONVICTED OF
SEDITION, AND THEY COULD FACE UP TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON.
(APPLAUSE) (APPLAUSE)
WELL, THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY. THEY TRIED TO BREAK INTO A
GOVERNMENT FACILITY, AND NOW THEY GET TO LIVE IN ONE.
ALSO YESTERDAY, RICHARD "BIGO" BARNETT, THE RIOTER WHO HIS PUT
FEET ON NANCY PELOSI'S DESK, WAS CONVICTED ON ALL COUNTS,
INCLUDING DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE CAPITOL WHILE CARRYING A
DANGEROUS WEAPON, SPECIFICALLY A WALKING STICK THAT DOUBLES AS A
STUN GUN, CALLED A "HIKE 'N STRIKE."
THAT'S RIGHT, THE "HIKE AND STRIKE," FROM THE MAKERS OF THE
SPEEDO TORPEDO. BEFORE THE JURY DELIBERATED,
BARNETT TOOK TO THE STAND TO EXPLAIN WHY IT WASN'T THAT BAD
THAT HE BROUGHT A STUN WEAPON INTO THE SPEAKER'S OFFICE,
SAYING THE HIKE 'N STRIKE WALKING STAFF STUN GUN WASN'T
OPERABLE, POSSIBLY BECAUSE HE HAD DROPPED IT IN HIS HOTEL
SHOWER THE NIGHT BEFORE. NOW, BEFORE YOU CALL HIM A DUMMY
FOR BRINGING AN ELECTROCUTION-STICK INTO A PLACE
WHERE HE'S NAKED AND WET, KEEP IN MIND:
HE WAS JUST TRYING TO FISH THE TOASTER OUT OF THE TOILET.
- THE PROUD BOYS ARE ALSO ON TRIAL - - IS THAT THE OATHKEEPERS.
I TELL YOU WHO ELSE IS ALSO ON TRIAL.
THE PROUD BOYS ARE ALSO ON TRIAL FOR SEDITION, AND IT'S REVEALING
A LOT ABOUT THEIR INNER WORKINGS.
YESTERDAY, PROSECUTORS PRESENTED A PROUD BOY HANDBOOK, AND IT
TURNS OUT, THE PROUD BOYS HAVE REALLY STRICT RULES ABOUT
MASTURBATING. LESS OF A HANDBOOK AND MORE OF A
"NO-HAND" BOOK. PLACE PLAWS THANK YOU.
SPECIFICALLY, THE RULES SAY A PROUD BOY MAY NOT EJACULATE
ALONE MORE OFTEN THAN ONCE EVERY 30 DAYS.
SO, ONCE A MONTH. THEY'RE LIKE WEREWOLVES.
AND WHEN THE MOON IS... WAXING, THEY CAN'T DO IT JUST
ANYWHERE. THE RULES SAY, IF A PROUD BOY
NEEDS TO EJACULATE, IT MUST BE WITHIN ONE YARD OF A WOMAN.
SO, GALS? IF YOU SEE A PROUD BOY WITH A
TAPE MEASURE? GET OUT OF THERE.
(APPLAUSE) THE DOCUMENT ALSO OUTLINES
PROTOCOL FOR PROUD BOY MEETINGS, WHERE MEMBERS ARE SUPPOSED TO
RAISE A GLASS AND GIVE TOASTS, LIKE, "TO THE ENTREPRENEURS!"
"TO GUNS!" AND "TO THE HOUSEWIVES!"
YES, TO THE HOUSEWIVES! TO TERESA AND NEENEE AND
COUNTESS LUANN! TO THE LISAS: RENNA AND BARLOW!
TO YOUR TERRIBLE DECISIONS, AND YOUR CONTINUED WILLINGNESS TO DO
THEM ON TV! I SAY, BRAVO!
(APPLAUSE) NOW, MAYBE THE DUMBEST PART OF
THE PROUD BOYS IS THEIR NAME, WHICH COMES FROM SOMETHING EVEN
DUMBER: "PROUD OF YOUR BOY," A SONG FROM
THE STAGE MUSICAL VERSION OF "ALADDIN."
ACCORDING TO THE HANDBOOK, "IT IS HEALTHY TO SING OUR ANTHEM AT
LEAST ONCE A NIGHT." YES, TO PROMOTE HEALTHY,
MASCULINE VIGOR, THEY MUST SING THEIR ALPHA-DOG ANTHEM THAT SETS
TESTOSTERONE A-BLAZE! LET IT RIP, JIM!
S THERE'S NO GOOD REASON THAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE ME, NOT YET
S I KNOW, BUT SOMEDAY AND SOON
S I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD OF YOUR BOY S
(APPLAUSE) >> Stephen: HELL YEAH!
TOUGH GUYS! LIONS, NOT SHEEP!
ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDINGS!
OUR PATRIARCHAL NEO-FASCISM JUST WANTS TO BE...
S PART OF YOUR WORLD! S WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT! MY GUESTS ARE JASON SEGEL AND
CHUCK D. BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, I'LL
TELL YOU ABOUT SOME CANDY THAT THE PROUD BOYS CAN ONLY BE
AROUND ONCE A MONTH.
♪ FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN. ♪ FIRE.
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY. WELCOME BACK.
PLEASE SAY HELLO TO LOUIS CATO AND THE LATE SHOW BAND.
(APPLAUSE) I SEE FRIENDS, FRIENDS,
PLEASE HAVE A SEAT, EVERYBODY. VERY KIND.
NOW LEUSES, AND-- LOUIS, AND ALL MY FRIENDS OVER THERE.
TONIGHT WE'VE GOT TWO FASCINATING GUESTS, A GENTLEMEN
WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO IN AWHILE BUT I ALWAYS ENJOY, JASON SEGEL.
HE HAS THE NEW SHOW SHRINKAGE WITH HARRISON FORD, WITH HAR
ISON FORD. AND THEN I MEAN ROCK 'N' ROLL
HALL OF FAMER, LEGEND CHUCK D IS GOING TO BE ON THE SHOW TODAY.
DROP SOME KNOWLEDGE FOR US. DROP SOME KNOWLEDGE.
ALL RIGHT. FOLKS,
THERE'S NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF CANDY, THE ONLY PART OF TRAIL
MIX I ACTUALLY EAT. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER LAST YEAR
WHEN M&M'S REDESIGNED THEIR FEMALE GREEN SPOKECANDY,
CHANGING HER GO-GO BOOTS TO SENSIBLE SNEAKERS.
AND FOX NEWS HOST TUCKER CARLSON WAS OUTRAGED ABOUT NO LONGER
BEING TURNED ON. >> M&M'S WILL NOT BE SATISFIED
UNTIL EVERY LAST CARTOON CHARACTER IS DEEPLY UNAPPEALING
AND TOTALLY ANDROGYNOUS, UNTIL THE MOMENT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO
HAVE A DRINK WITH ANY ONE OF THEM.
(LAUGHTER) >> Stephen: NOTHING WEIRD ABOUT
THAT. WHO HASN'T THOUGHT ABOUT TAKING
THEIR CANDY OUT FOR DRINKS AND THEN, IF THINGS GO RIGHT, MAYBE
A LITTLE ACTION, OVER THE PEANUT, UNDER THE CANDY SHELL.
AND THAT WAS JUST HIS TAKE ON THE FOOTWEAR.
WHEN THE NEWEST SPOKESCANDY DEBUTED, HE DESCRIBED IT AS A
"PLUS-SIZED, OBESE PURPLE M&M." FIRST OF ALL, SHE'S NOT OBESE:
SHE IS WITH NUT. OKAY, SHOW SOME RESPECT.
RECENTLY, IN HONOR OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY M &
M&MS LAUNCHED A NEW, LIMITED EDITION PACK THAT INCLUDES ONLY
PURPLE, BROWN AND GREEN, THE CANDY'S TRIO OF FEMALE
CHARACTERS, WHO ARE UPSIDE-DOWN ON THE PACKAGE TO CELEBRATE
WOMEN EVERYWHERE WHO ARE FLIPPING THE STATUS QUO.
SOME PEOPLE LIKE THAT. SOME PEOPLE LIKE THAT A LOT.
TO OTHERS TO SOME, THIS KIND OF
PERFORMATIVE CORPORATE FEMINISM MIGHT SEEM SHALLOW AND
CONDESCENDING. BUT OTHERS SEEM TO THINK IT'S
THE END OF THE (BLEEP) WORLD. SPECIFICALLY, FOX NEWS, WHO
FREAKED OUT ABOUT M&M'S GETTING TOO "WOKE."
JUST WAIT TILL THEY FIND OUT THAT ONE OF THE INGREDIENTS IS
CRITICAL RACE THEORY. AND YOU TROO, THAT'S TRUE.
IT'S RIGHT BELOW CARNUBA WAX. AND FOLLOWING ALL THIS
CONTROVERSY, YESTERDAY, M&MS RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING THEY
HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE AN INDEFINITE PAUSE FROM THE
SPOKESCANDIES. NOW, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
THINKING. "GREAT, NOW WHERE WILL I GET MY
FIX OF ANTHROPOMORPHIC CANDY ORBS WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
PERSONALITY TRAITS?" WELL, DON'T WORRY, BECAUSE
ANOTHER CANDY COMPANY IS NOW WADING INTO THIS CULTURAL
MINEFIELD. JIM?
>> Narrator: SUSAN B ANTHONY. FRIDA KAHLO.
RUTH BADER GINSBURG. (RECORD SCRATCH)
MIKE AND IKE? THAT'S RIGHT!
THE CANDY YOU SETTLE FOR WHEN THEY'RE OUT OF SKITTLES JUST GOT
PROGRESSIVE AS HELL! MIKE AND IKE NOW HAVE OUR OWN
FEMALE CANDIES: SHEILA AND DOREEN!
>> AHHH! >> THAT'S RIGHT, WE'RE HERE!
>> DEAL WITH IT! >> I TASTE LIKE TROPICAL FRUIT,
BUT I ALSO RUN A SUCCESSFUL LANDSCAPING COMPANY IN AKRON,
OHIO. >> I'M NOT JUST BROWN, I'M A
TENURED PROFESSOR AT BROWN! WE'RE SICK OF LADY CANDIES BEING
TWO-DIMENSIONAL. IT'S ALWAYS THE "SMART ONE,"
"SEXY ONE," THE "SHY ONE." >> YEAH!
WE'RE COMPLEX. I HIT A DEER ONCE IN COLLEGE.
AT LEAST, I THINK IT WAS A DEER. I DIDN'T LOOK BACK.
OH GOD, I DIDN'T LOOK BACK! >> Narrator: THAT'S RIGHT!
WE MADE SHEILA AND DOREEN UNCOMFORTABLY COMPLICATED.
UM, FEMINISM MUCH!? >> SHE'S RECENTLY WIDOWED,
AND I'M CASUALLY SLEEPING WITH TWO TWIZZLERS.
>> I'M ALSO A MOM. GUESS WHERE THE BABY CAME OUT
OF? I ONLY HAVE ONE HOLE!
>> AHHHH! >> AHHHH!
>> Narrator: EVERYONE KNOWS MIKE AND IKE'S ARE A COMBO OF
FRUITY AND CHEWY, MAKING THEM "FRUCHEWY."
>> BUT WE'RE CHANGING THE FLAVOR STATUS QUO.
I'M KIWI. >> AND I'M BEEF.
>> AND TOGETHER, WE'RE... >> Narrator: THAT'S NOT GOOD.
WE PROBABLY SHOULD'VE READ THAT OUT LOUD FIRST.
BUT IF YOU'RE CONCERNED THEY'RE TOO "WOKE," DON'T WORRY!
BECAUSE WE ALSO DECIDED... >> DON'T YOU DARE GIVE US BOOBS.
>> Narrator: ...TO GIVE THEM BOOBS!
>> NO! NOT COOL!
>> NOOO! >> Narrator: SO, WHEN YOU WANT
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP THAT'S BEEN GENDERED FEMALE TO SEEM
VAGUELY EMPOWERING BUT IS STILL WEIRDLY SEXUALIZED, REACH FOR A
BOX OF "SHEILA & DOREEN'S"! >> KIWEEFY!
KIWEEFY! KIWEEFY!
>> Narrator: AVAILABLE WHEREVER MIKE AND IKES ARE FOUND.
SO, PROBABLY IN AN ABANDONED GAS STATION.
>> KIWEEFY. >> Stephen: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH JASON SEGEL. ♪

>> Stephen: IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE I SPOKE TO YOU LAST.
LAST TIME WAS ON DRK DRG. >> BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
>> Stephen: LAST TIME WAS ON ZOOM, THIS IS MUCH NICER AND YOU
TALKED A LOT OF THE TIME ABOUT YOUR SOLITARY WALKINGS.
YOU WENT ONA LOT OF SOLITARY WALKS.
>> LONG, LONG WALKS. >> Stephen: DID YOU SPEND A
LOT OF THE PANDEMIC ALONE? >> I DID, YEAH.
I HAD A BREAK UPRIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC WHICH WAS VERY, VERY
SAD. AND-- .
>> Stephen: OH WOW. >> IT'S OKAY, MADE IT THROUGH.
MADE IT THROUGH. AND RIGHT BEFORE WE WENT INTO
LOCKDOWN A LOCAL ICE CREAM SHOP IN MY TOWN, SO I WENT IN KIND OF
SAD. 9:30 P.M. RIGHT BEFORE CLOSING.
>> Stephen: LIKE ADVICABLY HEARTBROKEN KIND OF PERSON.
>> I WAS A GROWN MAN ALONE AT 9:30 BUYING ICE CREAM.
RIGHT? >> Stephen: YEAH.
>> YEAH. AND THERE WAS LIKE A REALLY
KIND-FACED, ATTRACTIVE WOMAN SERVING ICE CREAMMENT AND SHE
SAID REALLY NICE STUFF TO ME ABOUT HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.
AND I LOVE THESE MOVIES. GOT ME THROUGH A TOUGH TIME.
THEN SHE GAVE ME MY ICE CREAM ON A CONE.
AND THEN SHE SAID I WILL NEVER FORGET THE JOY YOU BRING TO THE
WORLD. >> Stephen: WOW.
>> AND SO I WENT HOME. >> Stephen: THAT IS LIKE AN
INSTANT CONNECTION. >> YEAH, I FELT LIKE IT WAS A
ROMCOM WITH TOM HANKS OR SOMETHING.
AND I WENT HOME AND THEN WE WENT INTO LOCKDOWN.
BUT THEY STAYED OPEN DELIVERY. SO EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I
NEEDED THAT FEELING OF CONNECTION I WOULD ORDER THE ICE
CREAM. AND IT WOULD ARRIVE IN A BAG.
AND THE FIRST TIME IT ARRIVED, SHE HAD HANDWRITTEN ON THE BAG,
NEVER FORGET THE JOY YOU BRING TO THE WORLD.
I'M LIKE OH. I STARTED TO SEE MY NEW LIFE
WITH THIS WONDERFUL PERSON. >> Stephen: THE ICE CREAM
LADY. >> YEAH SO THEN WE CAME OUT OF
LOCKDOWN AND I WENT TO GO KIND OF MAKE GOOD ON THIS MEET CUTE.
AND AS I'M WALKING UP I SEE SOMEONE COMING OUT OF THE STORE
WITH A BAG OF ICE CREAM. AND ON THE BAG IT SAID, NEVER
FORGET THE JOY YOU BRING TO THE THE WORLD.
(APPLAUSE) AND IT TURNS OUT IT IS JUST
THEIR SLOGAN. (LAUGHTER).
>> Stephen: OH. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH, MAN. >> Stephen: I JUST WANT GET
MYSELF A LOVELY SANDWICH AND THE GIRL BEHIND THE COUNTER SAID I
HAVE THE MEATS. >> YEAH.
THAT WAS PERSONAL. >> Stephen: SHE SAID WE, THE
TWO OF US. THE TWO-OF-US, WE HAD THE MEATS.
OKAY, WELL, EVERYBODY WANTS TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE MAKING A
CONNECTION. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE.
>> YES. >> Stephen: THIS NEW SERIES,
SHRINKING IS ABOUT PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE CONNECTIONS.
YOU PLAY A PSYCHOLOGIST. >> YEAH.
I THINK INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, WE ALL CAME OUT THE PAST TWO YEARS
WHETHER OR NOT WE SPECIFICALLY LOST SOMEBODY OR JUST THIS
FEELING OF LOST TIME. WE ARE ALL GRIEVING SOMETHING
THAT WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE BACK.
MY CHARACTER IN THE SHOW IS GRIEVING LOSS OF A WIFE.
AND IT IS BASICALLY A CHARACTER IN THE MIDST OF HIS OWNER IN
VOWTION BREAKDOWN BUT CONTINUING TO PRACTICE THERAPY.
SO NONE OF THESE PATIENTS KNOW THAT THEIR THERAPIST IS HIMSELF
LIKE NOT DOING SO HOT. >> Stephen: WOW.
AND WE HAVE A SEEN HERE COMING UP.
>> SURE. >> Stephen: EXPLAIN WHAT IS
GOING ON. >> YES, THIS IS RIGHT AFTER I
HAVE KIND OF SNAPPED IN A THERAPY SESSION.
AND JUST STARTED DOING MY NEW TECHNIQUE.
CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE. HE IS GOING TO TELL HIS PATIENT
WAS TO DO HERE IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO.
WILL YOU DO ST NOW AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE
IT. >> Stephen: SO IT IS
NONDIRECTIONAL. >> YEAH, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
IT. THIS GUY CAN'T DO ANY T ANY
MORE, HE WANTS PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR RUTS.
I HAVE CROSSED SOME LINES AND I TELL MY BOSS WHO IS MAYBE THE
COOLEST MAN OF ALL TIME. >> Stephen: JIM.
>> HEY. >> HEY KID.

DAY, DOING IT, DOING IT NORMAL STYLE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING, PAUL.
>> ABOUT HOW YOU ARE JUST DOING IT NORMAL STYLE?
>> WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? >> YOU GUYS GET SO MAD AT YOUR
PATIENTS THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU JUST WANT TO SHAKE THEM.
>> WE DON'T SHAKE THEM. >> NO, I KNOW, I KNOW.
I'M ROOTING FOR THEM, I AM. I'M LIKE COME ON YOU [BLEEP]
PERSON, YOU CAN CHANGE. AND THEN THEY JUST NEVER DO.
>> COMPASSION FATIGUE. WE ALL HIT THOSE WALLS.
YOU ASK QUESTIONS. YOU LISTEN.
YOU STAY NONJUDGMENTAL AND YOU DON'T MAKE THAT FACE.
>> SORRY. (APPLAUSE).
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK BUT WHEN WE COME
BACK I WILL ASK JASON JASON WHAT HE WAS LIKE AS A CHILD.
>> Stephen: HEY, LOOK AT THIS, RIGHT THERE.
THE STAR OF SHRINKAGE, A MAN EVERYBODY LOVINGS, JASON SEGEL.
YOU ARE COCREATOR, WRITER AND A STAR.
DID YOU CALL HARRISON FORD AND SAY HEY, DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
>> NO, WHAT HAPPENS IS-- . >> Stephen: DID YOU KNOW HIM
BEFORE THIS. >> I DID NOT KNOW HARRISON FORD
AT ALL. AND.
BUT NOARKS YOU MAKE AN OFFER TO HARRISON FORD THINKING THAT YOU
GET TO SAY THERE IS AN OFFER TO HARRISON FORD TO A WEEK AND THEN
WILL YOU OFFER IT TO THE REAL PERSON.
AND THEN HARRISON FORD SAID YES. AND YOU ARE LIKE HARRISON FORD
IS GOING TO SHOW UP. AND THEN YOU SCRAMBLE TO BE
OKAY. AND TO NOT FREAK OUT WHEN HE
SHOWS UP. >> Stephen: BECAUSE YOU FREAK
OUT A LITTLE BIT, IS HE INDIANA JONES, HE'S HANS SOLO.
AND I'M JUST CURIOUS WHETHER HEADLINES LIKE THIS THEN HURT
YOUR FEELINGS WHEN YOU READ THEM.
BECAUSE HERE IS ONE THAT SAYS HARRISON FORD HAD NO IDEA WHO
JASON SEGEL WAS BEFORE SHINING ON TO SHRINKING.
DID YOU, AM I SHOWING YOU THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
>> YOU ARE, YES. >> Stephen.
>> I AM NOT, YOU KNOW WHAT, I DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS EITHER.
(APPLAUSE). >> Stephen: YOU-- WAS IT
INTIMIDATING TO WORK WITH HIM? >> IT WAS.
HE WAS VERY, VERY KIND. I MEAN IS HE OBVIOUSLY AN IDOL
OF MINE, YOU KNOW. ONE OF THE THINGS HE DOES WHEN
HE ARRIVES IS HE KIND OF BUSTS THROUGH THE A-W-E AND TREATS YOU
LIKE A PEER AND IS REALLY GENEROUS IN THAT REGARD.
THAT SAID, I DESPERATELY WANT HIS , YOU KNOW, LIKE--
APPROVAL, LIKE REAL REAL BAD. DO I THIS THING BECAUSE YOU
CHANGE IN WARDROBE PRETTY FAST. I WAS WASTING A LOT OF TIME
PICKING OUT OUTFITS BECAUSE I LIKE TO LOOK GOOD.
AND SO I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO START WEARING JUMPSUITS TO WORK.
YOU KNOW, LIKE A REAL TRADESMAN. >> Stephen: LIKE WHAT A
MECHANIC WOULD WEAR. >> SURE, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
BUT I WAS KIND OF CHICKEN ABOUT IT.
SO I DECIDED I WOULD GET THERE 30 MINUTES BEFORE WORK SO NO ONE
WOULD SEE ME. >> Stephen: IN YOUR JUMPSUIT
BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO SIGH IN A JUMPSUIT.
>> I GOT TO GET USED TO IT SO I SHOWED UP AND HARRISON FORD WAS
WAITING OUTSIDE MY TRAILER TO RUN LINES.
>> Stephen: OH. >> YEAH, AND SO I GET OUT OF MY
CAR. IT WAS LIKE IN SARAH MARSHALL
WHERE I SAID I WISH I WASN'T WEARING THIS EFFING SHIRT, THAT
IS HOW I FELT IN THE JUMPSUIT. HE WAS TALKING TO ME.
I'M HERE TO RUN SOME LINES IF ARE YOU UP FOR IT AND HE KEPT
EYEBALLING MY JUMPSUIT. I SAW IT I SAW ST HAPPENING.
>> Stephen: SURE, SURE. >> THIS SIDE EYE.
AND THEN I SAID YOU LOOKING AT MY JUMPSUIT, HARRISON.
HE SAID I SURE AM. AND THEN I FELT REALLY
EMBARRASSED LIKE I HAD BEEN A LITTLE HE MASS YOU CAN LATED OR
SOMETHING BY HARRISON FORD. AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I SHOWED
UP FOR REHEARSAL, AND THIS HAPPENED.
>> Stephen: IS THAT WHAT THIS IS.
>> YEAH. (APPLAUSE).
>> Stephen: NOT ONLY A JUMPSUIT, BUT A HOT PINK
JUMPSUIT. >> THAT'S RIGHT, HE WENT AND GOT
A HOT PINK JUMPSUIT AND LIKE I'M WITH YOU, YOU AND ME ARE IN THIS
TOGETHER. SO NOW WE'RE BEST FRIENDS.
>> Stephen: BY THE WAY, HE LOOKS FANTASTIC.
>> HE LOOKS SO GOOD. HE LOOKS SO GOOD.
>> Stephen: PEOPLE IN THE SHOW SAY TO YOUR CHARACTER THAT, THAT
YOUR CHARACTER HAS SAD FACE. >> SURE.
>> Stephen: HAS SAD FACE. YOU HAVE SOMETHING OF A SAD
FACE. NOT A DEPRESSED FACE, JUST A
LITTLE. >> YOU KNOW WHAT I AM, I'M
MAGICAL MELANCHOLY. >> Stephen: MAGICAL BECAUSE IT
MAKES PEOPLE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOU?
>> YEAH. AND LIKE I STILL HAVE CHILD LIKE
WONDER. I SEE THE WORLD AND IT IS LIKE
FULL OF MAGIC. >> Stephen: BUT ARE YOU
MELANCHOLY. >> I'M A LITTLE BIT SAD ABOUT
IT. YEAH.
>> Stephen: SINCE YOU WERE A CHILD YOU HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT
OF THIS SAD FACE, I UNDERSTAND. >> WELL, I WONDERED.
I WONDERED. >> Stephen: YOU WONGD ERRED IF
YOU HAD THE SAD FACE. >> WELL, I WONDERED.
I SAID TO MY MOM ONCE. I SAID MOM, I GOT A QUESTION.
I'M A LITTLE MELANCHOLY. WAS I ALWAYS LIKE THIS OR DID
SOMETHING HAPPEN, THAT LIKE I DON'T REMEMBER.
AND SHE SAID NO, NO, NO, JASON. YOU WERE ALWAYS LIKE.

>> Stephen: I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
SO YOU MIGHT HAVE TO READ WHAT IS THAT FIRST WORD.
>> NOW. >> Stephen: NOW, OKAY.
I WILL READ IT. IT SAYS NOW I KNOW THAT NO ONE
LIKES ME. HEY JASON, I SIGNED OFF STRONG.
HEY JASON. >> Stephen: DO YOU REMEMBER
THIS MOMENT? >> HAVE I NO RECOLLECTION OF
THAT MOMENT. BUT THIS IS THE MOST TAME OF
THEM. SHE SENT ME A BUNCH OF NOTES.
>> Stephen: REALLY? >> YEAH, YEAH.

THE HIP-HOP ALLIANCE THAT WE'RE PART OF SO A LOT OF THE FOUNDING
MEMBERS. THE GOLDEN GENERATION, OF THE
'90S. SO I WAS INFLUENCED BY THE CATS
THAT DID IT AND ALSO BECAUSE IT ROSE OUT OF A CONCRETE, LIKE A
ROSE, YOU KNOW, HIP-HOP CAME FROM THIS CITY.
BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY THROWN TO THE SIDEMENT THEY LEFT NEW YORK
FOR DEAD, LITERALLY IT WAS NEW YORK DAILY NEWS.
>> Stephen: DROP DEAD. >> YEAH, SO OUT OF THAT, AFTER
EVERYTHING WAS DISENFRANCHISED HIP-HOP ROSE.
AND THAT IS WHAT WE REDEPICTING IN THE DOCUMENTARY, FIGHT THE
POWER, HOW HIP-HOP CHANGE THE WORLD IT MADE SCHOLARSHIP OUT OF
WATCHING MELIE MEL AND GRAND MASTER CLASS SPEAK TRUTH TO
POWER IN SUCH BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. THE CONVERSATION, STEPHEN, WAS
LIKE AT WHAT POINT DO WE LOOK AT A GEN RE THAT HAS BEEN AROUND 50
YEARS. AT WHAT POINT DO WE CONSIDER
IMPORTANT, GREAT OR NOT GREATER THAN POPULARITY.
BECAUSE IT'S ART. AND ART IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS
THAT CAN'T BE QUANTITYIFIED IT HAS A QUALITY TO IT.
>> Stephen: SO IT CAN'T BE QUANTITYIFIED.
BUT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS YOU SAY HELP
DEFINE THE BOWPPEDRIES OF HIP-HOP?
>> WELL, THE ELEMENTS KIND OF CLEARLY DO THAT.
EMCEEING. DJING.
GRAFFITI AND BREAK DANCING BUT REALLY THOSE ARE LMENTDS OF
CREATIVITY. OF PEOPLE EMCEEING IS
VOCALIZATION. DJING IS MUSICIANSHIP.
ART CULTURE IS GRAFFITI AND PRETTY MUCH.
AND THEN DANCE CULTURE OUT OF BREAK DANCERS, SO WE'VE ALWAYS
BEEN CREATIVE. THE TERMINOLOGY CAME INTO EFFECT
OUT OF THE PEOPLE MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING THE, IN
THE 1973 PERIOD, AUGUST 11th LIKE THE BLAST MASTER, HE WOULD
SAY LIKE LISTEN, HE STARTED IN, 15, 20 CEDRIC AVENUE.
AND THIS DOCUMENTARY REALLY GETS INTO SEEING THESE FACES AND
THESE PEOPLE AND CONTRIBUTEDDERS SPEAK FOR THE ART FORM, FOR
THEMSELVES AND SEIZING THE NARRATIVE.
>> Stephen: THE DOCUMENTARY IS FIGHT POT WE ARE.
HOW HIP-HOP CHANGED THE WORLD. >> THE WORLD IS IMPORTANT TOO.
>> Stephen: THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO ASK YOU.
THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT CAME UP.
THIS IS YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING YOUR
OWN ART, REFLECTING THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
BUT VERY EARLY ON YOU ARE ON TOUR.
YOU ARE OVERSEAS. HOW DID IT CHANGE YOU AND WHAT
DID IT MEAN FOR YOU TO BE TAKING THIS WORK INTERNATIONALLY.
>> WELL, I CONSIDER MYSELF A-- AN EARTHISTON, HAVE I BEEN
TO 116 COUNTRIES,. >> Stephen: AN ERTICIN-W A
CITIZEN OF THE PLANET EARTH. I MEAN AS YOU KNOW, IN YOUR
COMMENTARY, WE'RE ALL WRAPPED IN THIS THING TOGETHER WHETHER
SOMEBODY LIKES IT OR NOT. WHAT SOMEBODY DOES OVER THERE IS
GOING TO AFFECT OVER HERE. WHATEVER SOMEBODY DOES HERE IS
GOING TO AFFECT OVER THERE. BUT THE MUSIC HAS LICENSE TO
TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD. IT ACTUALLY CONNECT US AS HUMAN
BEINGS. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE FLIP
LANGUAGES. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE FLIP
LANGUAGES IN THE MOVEMENT. OF COLLECTIVES OF PEOPLE.
IT GIVES INJUSTICES FROM WHATEVER WAS GOING ON IN THE
PAST, THAT FIGHT THE POWER. AND BEFORE THEN, IT IS BLACK
LIVERS MATTER AND BEING HEY, THIS IS WRONG.
THE CULTURE CONNECTED PEOPLE. THE MUSIC AND THE VIBE.
I THINK WE CAN STARE THE RIGHT WAY.
I'M NOT IN A-W-E OF HIP-HOP LIKE SOMEBODY BORN IN HIP-HOP WOULD
BE. YOU KNOW, I'M 12 YEARS OLDER
THAN HIP-HOP. SO 50 YEARS TO ME SLIEK-- AND
I'M SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, 50 YEARS IS SHORT IN REALTIME BUT
LONG IN CULTURAL TIME. >> I DIDN'T KNOW THIS, YOU WERE
A VISUAL ARTIST. YOU ARE PUBLISHING A BOOK OF
YOUR WORK FROM RECENTLY AND FROM THE BEGINNINGS OF YOUR HIP-HOP
CAREER, WHEN YOU DO FLIER ART FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHO-- TELL ME
ABOUT THIS BOOK, LIVING LOUD. >> WELL NUMBER ONE, RONNIE WOOD
OF THE ROLLING STONES IS MY HERO.
>> OH YEAH. >> AND I'VE SPENT MORE TIME,
HALF MY LIFE IN HOTEL ROOMS. SO ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS ON
TWITTER IS WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR DOWNTOWN.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO THE CONCERT, AN HOUR, TWO HOURS,
WHATEVER. THEN YOU HAVE DOWN TIME.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO NAME A CITY THAT YOUR DOWN TIME MIGHT BE A
DIFFERENT DOWN TIME. BUT I WILL TELL YOU YOU,
ESPECIALLY THE LAST TEN YEARS I TURN MY HOTEL ROOM INTO AN ART
STUDIO AND SPEND MY DOWN TIME CREATING ART.
SO THE GREAT JACK HOLZMANN OF ELECTRORECORDS TOLD ME EVERYBODY
GOT ART IN THEM. IT'S THE JOB OF CURATORS AND
CARETAKERS TO GET THE ART OUT OF THEM, YOU KNOW.
AND THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS SAY, I NEVER WALK BY MUSICIANS WITHOUT
ACKNOWLEDGING THIS. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE THING TO GET
ART OUT OF PEOPLE. AND YOU ARE AN ARTIST.
AND I CONSIDER MYSELF A PERSON THAT, YOU KNOW, SOCIAL MEDIA HAS
ALSO HELPED. ALTHOUGH I'M CREATING SOMETHING
CALLED CULTURAL MEDIA WHICH I THINK IS GREATER THAN SOCIAL
MEDIA. I AM WORK ON AN APPLICATION ON
THAT. BUT I WOULD TELL YOU THAT NOW
YOU CAN DO ART ONLINE AND SOMEBODY COULD SEE IT RIGHT AWAY
AND SAY OH BY THE WAY, I GOT A GALLERY SHOW, YOU WANT TO COME.
YEAH, I WILL BE THERE, MAYBE. BUT NOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA BOOP, I
SEND IT. WOW, HOW CAN I GET THAT ART.
SO FINALLY WE CAME OUT WITH A BOOK AND IT IS A BUNCH OF
DOODLES THAT KIND OF REPRESENT MY 62 YEARS ON EARTH.
>> Stephen: CHUCK, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
"FIGHT THE POWER: HOW HIP-HOP CHANGED THE WORLD" STARTS
JANUARY 31 ON PBS, AND CHUCK'S BOOK "LIVIN' LOUD" IS AVAILABLE
FEBRUARY 7. CHUCK D, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> Stephen: WELL, THAT'S IT FOR "THE LATE SHOW."

ACTRESS AMANDA WARREN. STICK AROUND FOR JAMES CORDEN.
GOOD NIGHT.
