SOME NEW REACTION TODAY AS DONALD TRUMP FACES MULTIPLE
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS. THE BIG PICTURE HERE IS IT'S
SOMETIMES COMPLICATED TO FOLLOW ALL THE ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS
OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. COMING UP, GET THOSE BRACKETS
READY. MARCH MADNESS
IS ABOUT TO TIP OFF. WELCOME TO CBS SPORTS.
I'M LARRY BOBERRY. AND I'M GARY NANANANAFOFERRY.
WELL, THE PROOF'S IN THE PUDDING AND THE PUDDING'S BEEN
SMEARED ON THE CAPITOL WALLS. IT'S MARCH MADNESS.
THAT'S RIGHT, LARRY, WHERE THE TOP 16 LAWSUITS AND
INVESTIGATIONS GO HEAD-TO-HEAD TO SEE WHO WILL BE THE ONE TO
BRING DOWN THE FORMER PRESIDENT. IT'S ANYONE'S FELONY.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE HOT MATCHUPS.
YOU'VE GOT CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS GOING UP AGAINST
THE E. JEAN CARROLL DEFAMATION CASE.
IN THE EAST, WE'VE GOT THE JANUARY 6 RIOT VERSUS STORMY
DANIELS' HUSH MONEY. IT'S A TOSS-UP.
YOU'VE GOT INSURRECTION VERSUS HIS ERECTION.
BOTH MESSY AFFAIRS THAT LEFT A WOMAN DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.
NOW LET'S GO TO THE KISS CAM AND BOOM GOES MY LUNCH.
Announcer: IT'S "THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT."
TONIGHT... PAIN IN THE ASSET.
FIRST, STEPHEN WELCOMES... CHRISTINA RICCI,
FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY JEN PSAKI
AND MUSICAL GUEST ROBERT GLASPER
WITH YEBBA. 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. ♪ ♪
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Stephen: THANKS, EVERYBODY.
WELCOME ONE AT ALL. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
CHILDREN OF ALL AGES. WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I WANT TO START OFF TONIGHT WITH SOME
GREAT NEWS ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
WE STILL HAVE ONE! OVER THIS WEEKEND, THERE WERE
SOME DOUBTS, THANKS TO THE RAPID IMPLOSION OF SILICON VALLEY
BANK, WHICH LAST WEEK COLLAPSED, AFTER LOSING ALL
OF ITS MONEY IN JUST 48 HOURS. I DON'T SEE HOW A BANK COULD
LOSE ALL THEIR MONEY? WHY DON'T THEY JUST ATTACH IT
TO THE CHAINS THEY PUT ON THE PENS?
THEN THEY CAN'T. IT'S PRETTY BAD WHEN THE FIRST
TIME YOU EVER HEAR OF A BANK IS WHEN THEY'RE GOING OUT OF
BUSINESS. BUT WE SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT
COMING FROM THEIR SLOGAN, SILICON VALLEY BANK.
"WE WILL BE MISSED." SILICON VALLEY WASN'T A NORMAL
BANK, AS WE WOULD THINK OF IT. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF
SMALL DEPOSITORS. THEY HAD A LOT OF TECH START-UPS
WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF CASH THAT STARTUPS NEEDED TO TRANSFER
SOMEPLACE UNTIL THEY WITHDREW IT LATER.
MEANING SVB WAS SORT OF LIKE A VENMO FOR DROPBOX.
OR LIKE A TASKRABBIT FOR PAYPAL.
NO, IT WAS LIKE A GRINDER FOR GRUBHUB.
WHATEVER IT WAS. POINT IS, THESE TECH START UPS
HAD ACCOUNTS SO HUGE THAT THEY WERE TOO BIG TO BE FEDERALLY
INSURED. AND ON WEDNESDAY, IT WAS
REVEALED THAT SVB HAD INVESTED THESE MASSIVE DEPOSITS IN
TREASURY BONDS WHICH HAD LOST VALUE WHEN THE FED RAISED RATES,
WHICH THEY HAD TO SELL AT A LOSS TO COVER THEIR
DEPOSITS, SPARKING A RUN ON THE BANK.
AND I'M BEING TOLD WE HAVE FOOTAGE OF WHAT A RUN ON A BANK
FOR TECH START-UPS LOOKS LIKE. NO, BUT YOU'RE THINKING
OF THIS PLACE ALL WRONG, AS IF I HAD THE MONEY BACK
IN A SAFE. THE MONEY'S NOT HERE.
YOUR MONEY'S IN A SMART WATCH FOR DOGS,
AND YOURS IS IN AN ENERGY DRINK FOR GHOSTS.
Stephen: WITH OVER $200 BILLION IN ASSETS, THIS IS
THE SECOND-LARGEST BANK FAILURE IN U.S. HISTORY, SINCE THE
COLLAPSE OF WASHINGTON MUTUAL IN 2008.
IT'S 2008 ALL OVER AGAIN! BANKS ARE COLLAPSING,
FLIP PHONES ARE BACK, AND HILLARY CLINTON'S
GOT THE NOMINATION LOCKED UP! NO WAY OBAMA IS GOING TO TAKE
IT. HUSSEIN, COME ON.
THEN JUST 2 DAYS LATER, AFTER THE SECOND LARGEST BANK
COLLAPSE IN HISTORY, WE GOT THE THIRD LARGEST BANK COLLAPSE IN
HISTORY, WHEN REGULATORS ANNOUNCED THAT NEW YORK-BASED
SIGNATURE BANK HAD ALSO FAILED. YEAH, BUT IT FAILED IN THE
GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD! IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT HERE,
YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ANYWHERE! NOW, DON'T WORRY, GUYS, NEW YORK
IS THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. JUST GRAB YOURSELF AN ELMO HEAD,
GET OUT TO TIMES SQUARE, AND YOU SHAKE YOUR FURRY
MONEY-MAKERS! BACK ON TOP IN NO TIME.
TO STOP THE SPREAD OF FINANCIAL PANIC, ON SUNDAY, TREASURY
SECRETARY JANET YELLIN ANNOUNCED THE FEDS WILL FULLY
REIMBURSE THE BANKS' CUSTOMERS USING CASH FROM THE
DEPOSIT INSURANCE FUND, WHICH HAS OVER $100 BILLION IN IT.
A TREASURY OFFICIAL SAYS THAT AMOUNT IS
"MORE THAN FULLY SUFFICIENT" TO COVER SVB AND SIGNATURE
DEPOSITORS, BUT NPR REPORTS THAT NOW "THE FUND IS GOING TO BE
PRETTY DEPLETED." SO WE'RE TOTALLY FINE AS LON AS
WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CRISIS. IT'S LIKE THE FIRE
EXTINGUISHER SAYS, "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY,
TOUGH LUCK! YOU USED THIS LAST YEAR!
MAKE YOUR PEACE WITH GOD." THE FLAMES, THE FLAMES ARE YOUR
FRIENDS NOW. IN ADDITION, FEDERAL OFFICIALS
ARE AUCTIONING OFF SILICON VALLEY BANK.
THEY'RE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS AT THE AUCTION.
THEY'VE EVEN GOT ONE OF THOSE INFLATABLE JANET YELLINS.
THAT'S GOOD. PRESIDENT BIDEN ADDRESSED THE
CRISIS THIS MORNING. EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD FEEL
CONFIDENT THEIR DEPOSITS WILL BE THERE.
YOUR DEPOSITS ARE SAFE. AMERICANS CAN HAVE CONFIDENCE
THAT THE BANKING SYSTEM IS SAFE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS,
AMERICANS CAN REST ASSURED THAT OUR BANKING SYSTEM IS SAFE.
Stephen: NOT AS COMFORTING AS HE IMAGINES.
NO ONE WANTS A CALL FROM THE BABYSITTER THAT GOES,
"THE KIDS ARE SAFE. YOU CAN HAVE TOTAL CONFIDENCE
THAT THE KIDS ARE SAFE. REST ASSURED,
YOUR KIDS ARE SAFE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS:
ALL KIDS HAVE ALL FINGERS AND THE TOASTER OVEN IS NOWHERE
NEAR THE BATHTUB." ALL AMERICANS SHOULD KNOW.
BECAUSE ALSO A LITTLE UNSET UNSETTLING, BIDEN GAVE THE
SPEECH AT 9:00 A.M. PRESIDENTS NEVER SPEAK
THAT EARLY. BIDEN SPEAKING AT 9:00 A.M.
IS LIKE YOUR PARENTS CALLING YOU AT 9:00 A.M.
"OH, GOD. EITHER SOMEBODY'S DEAD OR THE
INTERNET IS DOWN, I'M GONNA HAVE TO FLY TO OHIO
TO PRESS A RESET BUTTON." SPEAKING OF FAILURES, WE HAVE AN
UPDATE ON MIKE PENCE, SEEN HERE [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
SEEN HERE THINKING ABOUT NAPKINS.
OL' MIKEY P. GAVE A SPEECH TO JOURNALISTS AT THE ANNUAL
GRIDIRON SEX CLUB DINNER, AND HE CAME OUT HARD AGAINST HIS OLD
BOSS, SAYING, "THE EX PRESIDENT WAS WRONG.
I HAD NO RIGHT TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION.
AND HIS RECKLESS WORDS ENDANGERED MY FAMILY
AND EVERYONE AT THE CAPITOL THAT DAY."
"I KNOW THAT HISTORY WILL HOLD THE EX-PRESIDENT ACCOUNTABLE."
OKAY, THAT'S COOL ABOUT HISTORY AND STUFF, BUT COULD THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] OR MAYBE...
OR THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY?
OR THE BASKIN ROBBINS BIRTHDAY CLUB?
ANYONE? ANYONE ALIVE NOW?
BECAUSE MIKE PENCE ISN'T GONNA DO JACK SQUAT.
JUST LAST WEEK, HE ASKED A JUDGE TO BLOCK THE SPECIAL COUNSEL'S
SUBPOENA FOR HIS JANUARY 6TH TESTIMONY, ARGUING THAT
"SERVING AS THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE ESSENTIALLY MAKES
HIM A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH."
OKAY, TECHNICALLY TRUE, BUT BARELY.
THAT MAKES AS MUCH SENSE AS SAYING, "FOR YOUR
INFORMATION, I'M A MEMBER OF THE UNITED MILEAGE PLUS, SO
LEGALLY, I'M ALLOWED TO LAND THIS 747."
GIMME THE KEYS. THERE ARE NO KEYS?
OKAY. BUT IT WASN'T ALL JANUARY 6.
PENCE HAD SOME FUN, TOLD SOME JOKES, AND EVEN DID A BIT OF AN
IMPRESSION OF HIS OLD BOSS. "HELLO.
IT IS I, THE GODLESS PRESIDENT.
I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER "CHEESED" BURGER, PLEASE."
NOW, FOR MY ROBERT DE NIRO. HELLO.
I AM ACCLAIMED ACTOR, DESERVING OF RESPECT AND ADMIRATION,
ROBERT DE NIRO. ARE YOU TALKING TO ME.
I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE HERE. WHO IN THE
H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS ARE YOU TALKING TO,
IF NOT ME?" PENCE IS TAKING SHOTS
AT THE EX PREZ AND TELLING ZINGERS FOR A REASON.
ACCORDING TO HIS TOP ADVISER, "MIKE IS IN A
DIFFERENT PLACE WHERE HE CAN BE SORT OF FREE AND LIBERATED."
SO...HE'S NOT GONNA TESTIFY, BUT HE'S GONNA WEAR
A SNOOPY TIE. LAST NIGHT WAS THE OSCARS,
THE BIGGEST NIGHT FOR MOVIES ON TV
IT'S TV'S BIGGEST NIGHT FOR MOVIES OTHER THAN WHEN TBS
AIRS "FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL."
THERE WERE SO MANY EXCITING WINS LAST NIGHT.
MICHELLE YEOH MADE HISTORY BY BECOMING THE FIRST ASIAN WOMAN
TO WIN THE OSCAR FOR BEST ACTRESS
AND HOLLYWOOD COMEBACK KID BRENDAN FRASER TOOK HOME BEST
ACTOR FOR HIS ROLE IN "THE WHALE," AS WELL AS THE
AWARD FOR MOST NAUTICAL METAPHORS.
I'M GRATEFUL TO DARREN ARONOFSKY FOR THROWING ME A
CREATIVE LIFELINE AND HAULING ME ABOARD THE GOOD SHIP
"THE WHALE." IT WAS WRITTEN BY
SAMUEL D. HUNTER, WHO IS OUR LIGHTHOUSE.
GENTLEMEN, YOU LAID YOUR WHALE-SIZED HEARTS BARE
I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT ONLY WHALES CAN SWIM AT THE DEPTH
OF THE TALENT OF HONG CHAU. IT'S BEEN LIKE I'VE BEEN IN A
DIVING EXPEDITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.
Stephen: OKAY, LOVELY MOMENT BUT
QUICK QUESTION, DID BRENDAN WATCH HIS OWN
MOVIE? 'CAUSE I DID, AND IT WASN'T
ABOUT HAVING FUN ON THE HIGH SEAS.
I ALSO LOVED "TAR." ALL THAT HOT, STICKY TAR!
REALLY SWALLOWED THAT SABER TOOTHED TIGER.
AND THE MAMMOTH. AND "ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN
FRONT"-- NOT A PEEP ON THAT FRONT!
JUST SHHHH." THE BIGGEST WINNERS WERE
FRIENDS OF THE SHOW, DANIELS, WHO TOOK HOME OSCARS FOR BEST
PICTURE, BEST DIRECTOR, AND BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY FOR THEIR
FILM "EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE."
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] QUOTE EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL
AT ONCE," OR AS YOUR PARENTS CALL IT "WE WERE CONFUSED."
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT.
MY GUESTS ARE CHRISTINA RICCI AND FORMER WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARY JEN PSAKI. BUT WHEN WE COME BACK,
"MEANWHILE"! CHECK IT OUT.
Stephen: GIVE IT UP FOR THE BAND, EVERYBODY.
HELLO, LOUIS. HELLO, JOSEPH.
WHAT'S GOING ON? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I JUST WANT TO SAY, BEFORE WE GET STARTED HERE, I DON'T KNOW,
DID ANY OF YOU GUYS WATCH THE OSCARS LAST NIGHT?
I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MY FRIEND JIMMY KIMMEL.
AMAZING JOB. Louis: HE HOSTED.
Stephen: MEAT AND POTATOES OSCAR, NOTHING FANCY.
LET THE STARS COME ON STAGE AND CRY.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE. I LIKE WATCHING THE PRETTY
PEOPLE CRY. THAT'S WHY I LIKE WATCHING THE
OSCARS. FOLKS, I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME
MOUNTING PRODUCTIONS OF THE DAY'S BIGGEST NEWS, DRESSING IT
IN THE MOST TOPICAL STORY COSTUMES WITH RICCARDO CHAILLY
CONDUCTING THE NEWSIEST GIACOMO PUCCINI SCORE, ALL SO I
CAN PRESENT THE EPIC TEATRO LA SCALA OPERA
THAT IS MY MONOLOGUE. BUT SOMETIMES, I AM DISGORGED
FROM THE BILGE OF A DISCOUNT CRUISE SHIP INTO THE SWASH
OF A WASTE TREATMENT PLANT, ASSEMBLE SOME CRUSTY STUFFED
ANIMALS THAT I'VE PRIED FROM THE FRONT GRILLE OF A GARBAGE TRUCK,
THEN MAKE THEM WATCH ME PULL A RAVENOUS POSSUM OUT OF
A SOILED WHITE CASTLE CRAVE CRATE IN THE RUMPLED CASTAWAY'S
MAGIC SHOW OF NEWS THAT IS MY SEGMENT,
"MEANWHILE." [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH IS WHAT THAT IS.
THAT IS PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH. MEANWHILE, IN BOOZE NEWS,
RESEARCHERS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THEY CAN QUICKLY SOBER UP
DRUNK MICE BY BOOSTING THEIR LEVELS OF A NATURALLY PRODUCED
HORMONE CALLED FGF21, WHICH INCREASES THE URGE IN MICE
TO DRINK WATER WHILE INTOXICATED AND COULD ACTIVELY SUPPRESS
THE DESIRE FOR ALCOHOL. IT ALSO MARKEDLY DECREASED
THE URGE IN MICE TO SCREAM THAT THEY WANT TO SING
THE LADY GAGA PART OF "SHALLOW." MEANWHILE, A NEW STUDY SAYS THAT
ABSTAINING FROM MASTURBATION RAISES YOUR RISK OF ANXIETY
AND DEPRESSION. THOUGH SCIENTISTS ALSO WARN THAT
FREQUENT MASTURBATION DOES ALSO INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF
STROKE. [APPLAUSE]
MEANWHILE, OVER IN THE CANDY AISLE, WE'VE JUST LEARNED
THAT REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS ARE GOING VEGAN,
WITH THE NEW OPTION FEATURING CHOCOLATES MADE WITH OATS
INSTEAD OF MILK. WHEREAS MOUNDS BARS WILL STILL
BE MADE WITH MILK CHOCOLATE AND SHREDDED BATH MAT.
"MOUNDS: AT LEAST WE'RE NOT
NECCO WAFERS." MEANWHILE, IN CALIFORNIA LAST
WEEK, AT LEAST FIVE GOATS WERE SPOTTED RUNNING LOOSE
IN THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, BUT THE ORIGINS OF THE ANIMALS
REMAIN A MYSTERY. MAYBE THEY ESCAPED FROM A FARM.
OR MAYBE THEY'RE IN TOWN FILMING THE LATEST
"FULL HOUSE" REBOOT. ♪ EVERYWHERE YOU ♪
BAH ♪ EVERYWHERE YOU ♪
BAHHH ♪ THERE'S A BAAHHH
♪ THERE'S A HAND TO HOLD ♪ BAH, BAH ♪
Stephen: MEANWHILE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE GO FROM
THERE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE LAST
STORY. WE'LL KEEP GOING.
MEANWHILE, DICTIONARY.COM ANNOUNCED
THAT THEY'VE ADDED MORE THAN 300 NEW WORDS, INCLUDING
DEADASS, WHICH MEANS "GENUINELY, SINCERELY,
OR TRULY," AND NOT, AS I SUSPECTED,
THE TITLE OF THE SADDEST SHREK SEQUEL.
I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED EARLIER. I SHOULD'VE STOPPED ONE STORY
EARLIER. MEANWHILE, IN FOOD NEWS,
VAN LEEUWEN AND HIDDEN VALLEY ARE RELEASING A HIDDEN VALLEY
RANCH ICE CREAM AND RECOMMEND YOU
"HAVE IT BY ITSELF OR PAIR IT WITH SOME SALTY
SNACKS FOR AN AFTERNOON OR LATE-NIGHT PICK-ME-UP!"
IF YOU'RE EATING RANCH-FLAVORED DESSERTS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT, YOU DON'T NEED A PICK-ME-UP.
YOU NEED AN INTERVENTION. BUT ALL RIGHT, I'LL BITE.
LET'S SEE: FIRST INGREDIENTS ARE CREAM, MILK, CANE SUGAR, OKAY.
BUT THEN GARLIC POWDER AND ONION POWDER.
WOW! THE TOP TWO POWDERS I WOULD NOT
WANT TO FIND IN MY ICE CREAM, JUST AHEAD OF "TALCUM"
AND "GUN." HOW DOES IT TASTE?
WELL, LET'S FIND OUT. SHALL WE?
EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT ME TO DO.
OKEY-DOKEY. OKEY-SMOKEY.
WOW. I'M GONNA SAVE THAT
FOR LATER. I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY KEEP
THAT VALLEY HIDDEN. 'CAUSE GOD HELP ME IF I EVER
FIND THEM. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
CHRISTINA RICCI. ♪ ♪
Stephen: WOW. YOU'VE GOT TO HEAR THE BAND.
WELCOME BACK ON EVERYBODY. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
MY FIRST GUEST TONIGHT IS AN ACTOR
YOU KNOW FROM "THE ADDAMS FAMILY," "MONSTER,"
AND "YELLOWJACKETS." HI.
GUESS WHO. IT'S MISTY.
AGAIN. THIRD TIME TODAY ACTUALLY.
WHAT IS UP WITH YOU ANYWAY? ARE YOU HAVING A SPA DAY WITHOUT

THAT HAS MET WITH FOUL PLAY SO I COULD RELEASE THE SUPPORT OF MY
TEAMMATES. CALL ME BACK.
Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW,"
CHRISTINA RICCI. ♪ ♪
Christina: I NEVER NOTICED THE CEILING BEFORE.
Stephen: IT'S LOVELY, ISN'T IT?
Christina: GIVES US SOMETHING TO LOOK AT.
Stephen: THERE YOU GO. IT'S CHRISTINA RICCI, EVERYBODY.
LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN. Christina: LOVELY TO SEE
YOU. Stephen: IT'S BEEN TOO
LONG. Stephen: I KNOW.
Stephen: THE FIRST SEASON OF "YELLOW JACKETS CHEMICALS
WHAT HUGE SENSATION. DOES SUCCESS LIKE THAT CHANGE
THE VIBE ON THE SET WHEN YOU GO TO SHOOT SEASON TWO?
Christina: YES. EVERYBODY WAS TERRIFIED.
Stephen: YOU SHOWED UP AND SOMEONE SAID YAY, IT'S GOOD.
SECOND SEASON. NOW WE HAVE TO BE GOOD.
Christina: A LOT OF HYPE AND BUILD UP ABOUT HOW GOOD
EVERYTHING IS. I LIKE TO COME IN WITH LOW
EXPECTATIONS AND THEN BE LIKE, PLEASANT SURPRISE.
THIS IS REALLY KILLING THAT WHOLE MODE.
FOR ME. BUT YEAH, IT WAS REALLY SCARY.
IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO BE SO WELL RECEIVED IN THE ACCOLADES AND
EVERYTHING WITHIN YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN.
AND MAKE SURE-- FOR ME, I WAS LIKE OKAY, SHE IS
SO SPECIFIC, THIS CHARACTER I PLAY.
PEOPLE PICKED OUT LITTLE THINGS LIKE THE WAY I WALKED.
Stephen: YOU HAD KIND OF INTERESTING WADDLE.
Christina: I DID BUT I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME SO MY WALK
WAS BECAUSE I HAD A BABY INSIDE OF ME.
SO WHEN I WENT BACK TO DO SEASON TWO, WHY CAN'T I DO THE WALK?
OH. I'M NOT PREGNANT ANYMORE.
SO THERE WERE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT'S INTIMIDATING, THE SHOE THEW COMES OUT IN TWO WEEKS.
I HOPE IT'S GOOD, I HOPE EVERYBODY LIKES IT.
Stephen: YOUR CHARACTER HAS A LOVE INTEREST.
OUR OLD FRIEND, ELIJAH WOOD. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME YOU
GUYS HAVE WORKED TOGETHER. YOU WERE BOTH IN THE ICE STORM.
WAS IT FUN TO REUNITE? Christina: IT WAS FUN.
I WAS SO EXCITED TO WORK WITH HIM AGAIN.
WE WERE 15 YEARS OLD AND WE WORKED TOGETHER ORIGINALLY AND I
REMEMBER EVERYTHING AND HE REMEMBERS NOTHING, JUST LIKE
EVERY MAN I'VE EVER KNOWN. SO YOU KNOW.
Stephen: [LAUGHS] Christina: NO, ELIJAH IS
AMAZING. HE'S SO FUN.
MOST-- A LOT OF, MOST OF THE SEASON FOR
ME WAS SPENT WITH ELIJAH IN TWO-MAN SCENES.
IT WAS SO FUN. Stephen: WE SAW THE CLIP
JUST THERE IN YOUR CHARACTER IS PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE.
VERY PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE. Christina: I LOVE IT.
Stephen: IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU ENJOY?
Christina: I'M A VERY PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE PERSON.
I AM 5'2". I CAN'T BE OPENLY AGGRESSIVE.
I'LL GET KILLED. I EMPLOY PASSIVE AGGRESSION ALL
THE TIME. Stephen: OKAY, SURE.
Christina: YOU CAN SAY "I'M SORRY.
I MEANT THAT. BECAUSE WHAT YOU CAN APOLOGIZE,
SAY THAT THEY HEARD IT WRONG. Stephen: THINGS LIKE, FROM
THE SOUTH, LIKE, BLESS YOUR HEART.
OR "I'LL PRAY FOR YOU" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
YOU HAVE ANY GO-TOS, SOMETHING THAT YOU LIKE TO DO?
Christina: OF SOMEONE STANDING TOO CLOSE TO ME IN
PUBLIC, I WOULD SAY I'M SORRY, DID YOU NEED TO STAND YOUR?
WHICH IS, WHATEVER. AT WORK, I WILL SING DERISIVE--
I WILL SING A LITTLE DERISIVE SONG TO THE TUNE OF FROZEN'S "DO
YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN." SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ANNOYING
AND I PUT LYRICS TO IT. I'LL DO THAT MYSELF, THANKS, YOU
DON'T NEED TO TOUCH. OH, YOU NEED TO TOUCH MY ANKLE?
AND THEN I WILL SING A SONG ABOUT HOW THEY NEEDED TO TOUCH
MY ANKLE. TO "DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A
SNOWMAN." IT SOUNDS PLEASANT.
Stephen: CAN I HAVE AN EXAMPLE.
Christina: I CAN'T. DON'T MAKE ME SING ON YOUR SHOW.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION. Stephen: ♪ DID YOU NEED TO
TOUCH MY ANKLE ♪ Christina: IT GOES LIKE
THAT. WHEN YOU DON'T SING?
I BET YOU HAVE A LOVELY VOICE. Christina: I DON'T.
Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK BUT WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE CHRISTINA RICCI.
Stephen: WE ARE BACK HERE WITH THE STAR OF
"YELLOWJACKETS," CHRISTINA RICCI.
CHRISTINA RICCI, I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT WEDNESDAY, ANOTHER
SENSATION. OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY REMEMBERS
YOU AS WEDNESDAY ADDAMS IN THE ADDAMS FAMILY MOVIES.
SUCH A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE. THERE'S A NEW GENERATION, NEW
GENERATION EMBRACING JEN ORTEGA. BUT ALSO YOU'RE IN THE SERIES AS
WELL. YOU ARE MARILYN THORNHILL.
TELL ME ABOUT MARILYN. Christina: MARILYN IS THE
BOTANY TEACHER AT NEVERMORE ACADEMY.
WHERE THE OUTSIDERS AND THE CHILDREN WITH SUPERNATURAL
TALENTS ARE GOING. SHE'S THE ONLY NORMATIVE
TEACHER. SHE HAS NO SUPERNATURAL SKILLS.
TURNS OUT SHE'S NOT AS NICE AS SHE SEEMED TO BE IN THE
BEGINNING. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE.
Stephen: THINKING ABOUT PEOPLE REDISCOVERING
WEDNESDAY ADDAMS UNLOVING THAT CHARACTER.
Christina: IT'S REALLY FUN. SHE'S A GREAT CHARACTER.
YOU THINK ABOUT ROLE MODELS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THAT'S A GREAT CHARACTER. SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS.
SHE'S NEVER GOING TO CONFORM. SHE'S NEVER GOING TO TRY TO BE
WHAT EVERYBODY THINKS SHE SHOULD BE.
SHE'LL NEVER CHANGE TO PLEASE ANYONE.
THAT'S PRETTY GREAT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Stephen: I AGREE. YOU'VE BEEN WORKING SINCE YOU
WERE JUST A KID AND YOU WORK WITH SOME AMAZING PEOPLE.
CHRISTOPHER LLOYD, ANJELICA HUSTON, CHER.
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG, DID ANYBODY TAKE YOU ASIDE AND SAY HEY, THIS
IS HOW SHOW BUSINESS WORKS QUESTION WHAT DID ANYONE TRY TO
EDUCATE YOU TO WHERE THE BUSINESSES.
Christina: WHEN I WAS NINE, MY FIRST MOVIE WAS "MERMAIDS"
WITH CHER AND CHER LITERALLY ANSWERED EVERY SINGLE QUESTION I
HAD. WANTED ME TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING
ON, WE CHANGED DIRECTORS IN THE MIDDLE OF FILMING AND SHE DIDN'T
WANT ME TO FEEL SCARED OR INSECURE SO SHE WOULD HAVE
PRODUCTION MEETINGS IN HER TRAILER AND SHE WOULD HIDE ME IN
THE BACK SO I COULD HEAR EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON.
SHE FELT LIKE IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS
A CHILD I STILL UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING ON.
Stephen: BY LISTENING, DID YOU UNDERSTAND?
Christina: I DID AND HONESTLY MADE ME FEEL MORE
SECURE KNOWING-- SOMETIMES YOU THINK THE PROBLEM
IS YOU AND I THINK SHE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I
UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE WAS CHAOS ON THE SET BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO
DO WITH ME AND ALL OF THIS STUFF.
IT WAS REALLY GREAT. EVERYBODY IS WONDERFUL--
EVERY BIT AS WONDERFUL AS YOU THINK CHER WOULD BE.
Stephen: DO YOU EVER, LIGHT, WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE WHO
ARE AS YOUNG AS YOU WERE AT THAT TIME, DO YOU MENTOR THEM?
Christina: YES, IF SOMEBODY ASKS ME QUESTIONS, I WILL
ABSOLUTELY GIVE THEM ANSWERS BUT A LOT OF TIMES THE PEOPLE
PLAYING THE TEENAGERS ARE ACTUALLY 26 IS OLDER MAY HAVE
BEEN WORKING SINCE THEY WERE FIVE SO THEY DON'T NEED MY
CONDESCENSION. FRANKLY.
Stephen: IT IS THE RIVERDALE SITUATION.
Christina: YEAH, IT'S LIKE PEOPLE ASK ME, DID YOU GIVE--
Secretary Jean-Pierre: THE PLAYS YOUNG MISTY.
DID YOU GIVE HER ADVICE? SHE HAS BEEN WORKING FOR LIKE 15
YEARS. SHE IS 26.
SHE DOESN'T NEED ME. Stephen: HOW OLD WERE YOU
AND YOU GOT STARTED? Christina: I WAS SEVEN.
Stephen: HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
Christina: I WAS IN A CHRISTMAS PAGEANT AND I WAS NOT
CAST AS THE LEAD. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WRONG.
I WAS ONE OF THE LEAD'S FRIENDS. THE LEAD PART WAS WRITTEN FOR A
BOY. I DIDN'T LIKE THAT AND I
PROVOKED HIM INTO BEING NAUGHTY, WHICH WAS HITTING ME.
I GOT HIM TO HIT ME AND I TOLD THE TEACHER AND THEN I GOT THE
PART. Stephen:
PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE. Christina: YES.
Stephen: I KNOW NEVER TO CROSS YOU.
HE'S AN TWO OF "YELLOWJACKETS" PREMIERES FRIDAY, MARCH 24 ON
SHOWTIME. CHRISTINA RICCI, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH FORMER WHITE HOUSE WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARY JEN PSAKI.
♪ ♪ Stephen: OH, HI.
WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
MY NEXT GUEST IS THE FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
WHO IS NOW ANCHORING HER OWN SHOW ON MSNBC.
PLEASE WELCOME JEN PSAKI. HELLO, JEN PSAKI.
HELLO. Jen: I'M PRETTY EXCITED TO
BE HERE. Stephen: I'M EXCITED TO
HAVE YOU HERE. Jen: IT'S MUTUAL.
Stephen: YOU HAVE THE NEW SHOW ON MSNBC, "INSIDE WITH
JEN PSAKI." WHAT--
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE PERSON ASKING THE QUESTIONS AS
OPPOSED TO THE PERSON WHOSE GETTING GRILLED BY THE PRESS?
Jen: [LAUGHS] I'M PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
THE THING THAT HAS-- THAT THE TWO JOBS HAVE IN COMMON
IS THAT WHEN I WAS AT THE WHITE HOUSE THE THING THAT I
LOVE THAT THE MOST ABOUT IT IS WHEN I HAD TO GO FIGURE OUT, GO
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OF AN ISSUE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS
HAPPENING AND THEN EXPLAIN IT TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS IS MY OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR.
Stephen: IT IS "INSIDE WITH JEN PSAKI."
YOU'RE AN INSIDER. Jen: WE ARE GOING TO GO
INSIDE OF ISSUES AND INSIDE PEOPLE'S LIVES.
Stephen: BUT YOU ARE ALSO AN INSIDER IN THIS
ADMINISTRATION. YOU KNOW THESE PEOPLE.
Jen: THAT'S TRUE, YES. Stephen: IT'S BEEN SAID THE
VALUE OF THE PRESSES TO COMFORT THE AFFLICTED AND AFFLICT THE
COMFORTABLE. ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE TO THROW
SOME PAINT MAKERS OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO PROVE THEY ARE
INDEPENDENT OF YOUR OLD BOSS? Jen: I DON'T KNOW IF I AM A
GOOD HAYMAKER THROWER. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY
WHAT THAT IS. BUT WHAT I DO COMMIT TO DOING.
ONE, I WILL START WITH THIS. I THINK IT'S AN ADVANTAGE FOR
THE VIEWERS OF MY SHOW THAT I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN SITTING IN THE
ROOM FOR 20 YEARS. I'VE SAT IN THE SITUATION ROOM,
IN THE OVAL OFFICE FOR TWO PRESIDENTS, BY THE WAY.
I HAVE TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND
BENT ON CAMPAIGN BUSES SO I CAN ACTUALLY CALL OUT THINGS THAT
ARE HAPPENING. YOU DON'T--
AND WHEN YOU DON'T NEED TO FREAK OUT.
BUT I'M ALSO NOT AFRAID TO CALL BALLS AND STRIKES.
WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN AND OTHERS DESERVE THAT, I'LL DO THAT BUT
I'M NOT GOING TO GRATUITOUSLY ATTACK THEM EITHER.
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE CAN EXPECT. Stephen: LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE PEOPLE WHO CLEARLY HAD A COZY RELATIONSHIP WITH POWER AND
THAT'S FOX NEWS. Jen: I HEARD THERE ARE SOME
DEVELOPMENTS. Stephen: INTERESTING STUFF.
WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE
SCENES OVER THERE. IT'S NOT SURPRISING, BUT IT IS
UNSETTLING. TO HEAR ABOUT--
Jen: IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN UNSETTLING, WOULDN'T YOU
SAY? I HAVE WATCHED YOU.
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE MORE THAN UNSETTLED.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Stephen: IT'S EMOTIONALLY
DESTABILIZING. Jen: YEAH, THAT'S FAIR.
Stephen: WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU OR SOMEONE WHO WAS ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THOSE QUESTINS I SUPPOSE A JOURNALIST WHEN THEIR
CLEAR HYPOCRISY IS EXPOSED LIKE THIS?
THERE CAN'T BE ANYBODY WHO WORKS OVER THERE AND GOES "YEAH, YEAH,
IT'S A CLEAN ORGANIZATION THAT'S GOOD TO WORK FOR."
Jen: FIRST OF ALL, WHY DON'T THEY GETS A SHOCK TO ME OR
WASN'T A SHOCK TO ME THAT THEY WERE STARING INACCURATE
INFORMATION. WE KNOW THAT WITH OUR OWN EYES.
Stephen: THEY WERE GIVING ACCURATE INFORMATION AND THEN
ASKING IT TO BE WITHDRAWN BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF
THEIR AUDIENCE. Jen: THAT AND THEY WERE
KNOWINGLY SHARING INACCURATE INFORMATION.
I HAD ABOUT 20 SECONDS MY THOUGHT TUCKER CARLSON MAYBE IS
ONE OF US AND THEN LIKE 5 MINUTES.
I THOUGHT NO WAIT, HE'S INTENTIONALLY SHARING
DISINFORMATION WITH HIS AUDIENCE AND TREATING THEM LIKE THEY'RE
STUPID, FRANKLY SO HE CAN SAVE HIS JOB, SAVE VIEWERS AND MAKE
MONEY. THAT'S THE PART THAT'S MOST
I AM HORRIFIED BY THE DISINFORMATION WITH THE FACT
THAT THEY KNOWINGLY DID IT, THAT'S WHAT I THINK IS IN MY
VIEW THE MOST PROBLEMATIC. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Stephen: INTERNALLY, WE ARE SEEING THAT THERE WERE DIRECT
MEDICATIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE AT FOX AND PEOPLE AT THE PREVIOUS
WHITE HOUSE AND PUSHING A PARTICULAR NARRATIVE AND ASKING
THEM NOT TO REPORT ON SOME THINGS HAD TO TRY TO THE
INVESTIGATIONS QU QUOTE-UNQUOTE. Jen: SHARING OF BIDEN
CAMPAIGN ADS. Stephen: IF YOUR BOSS IS
MSNBC WHICH IS SOMETIMES CALLED A LIBERAL FOX.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S ENTIRELY FAIR.
IF YOU ARE ASKED TO DO ANY OF THAT, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
Jen: I WOULD SAY NO BUT I WOULD NEVER BE ASKED THAT.
Stephen: IT'S A HYPOTHETICAL.
Jen: I DON'T DO HYPOTHETICALS, A.
B, I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE TO DIVE INTO BECAUSE MSNBC
HAS A VERY HIGH STANDARD OF WHAT IS FACTUAL.
YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS BEFORE YOU REPORT THINGS ON AIR
TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE FACTUAL AND YOU HAVE SOURCES.
THAT'S HOW NEW SHOULD WORK. NOW, YOU COULD HAVE INFORMED
OPINION, WHICH IS WHAT I WILL SHARE IN WHAT OTHERS WILL SHARE.
INFORMED EXPERIENCES, INFORMED PERSPECTIVE.
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF REPORTING AS WELL BUT THERE'S A
HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOING OUT THERE, REPORTING THINGS THAT
ARE INACCURATE, KNOWINGLY REPORTING THEIR INACCURATE
ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE. Stephen: RECENTLY YOU WERE
AT THE GRIDIRON DINNER ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
Jen: I WAS. Stephen: PENCE TALKED OUT
THE FORMER PRESIDENT ATTENDED THE BLAME FOR JANUARY 6TH IS ON
HIS DOORSTEP. WHAT WAS THE REACTION IN THE
ROOM? Jen: WE NEED TO SCENES SET
FOR A SECOND ON WHAT THIS ROOM IS LIKE.
HAVE YOU BEEN TO A GRIDIRON DINNER?
YOU'RE IN A DARK BASEMENT WITH 600 PEOPLE.
EVERYBODY IS WEARING A LONG LITERALLY WHITE TAILS.
WHITE TAILS ON MEN'S SUITS. IT WAS ABOUT 9:30 AT NIGHT,
PEOPLE WERE ON THE CHOCOLATE, CAKE AND WINE PORTION OF THE
EVENING. THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT PENCE
GOT UP. HE WAS KIND OF FUNDING THE
BEGINNING. HE MADE SOME JOKES.
AND THEN HE GAVE HIS LONG RIFF THAT WE'VE ALL SEEN ABOUT HOW
TRUMP WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. >> Stephen: HEARD, NOT SEEN.
Jen: THANK YOU FOR THE CORRECTION.
WE HELP EACH OTHER. IN THE ROOM, PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I FELT LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING NEW
THAT WE ARE HEARING. IT WAS.
AND HE DID GET AROUND OF APPLAUSE, IT WAS STRONG IN THE
MOMENT. HOWEVER, AS YOU ALLUDED TO, HE
DID THIS IN A DARK BASEMENT AT AN OFF THE RECORD DINNER WHERE
THERE IS NO CAMERA. NO CAMERA, NO VIDEO COVERAGE.
AND NO RECORD OF IT ASIDE FROM JOURNALISTS REPORTING IT FROM
THE ROOM. Stephen: NO ONE CAN USE
THAT CLIP IN AN AD AGAINST HIM. Jen: NO ONE CAN USE THAT
CLIP IN AN AD AGAINST HIM. HE ALSO HAS NOT PARTICIPATED IN
ANY ASPECT OF THE JANUARY 6 PROCESS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
THE INSURRECTION ON OUR NATION'S CAPITAL.
HE'S ALSO NOT AGREED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS WHEN
HE WAS ISSUED A SUBPOENA. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT WE ARE
READY TO GIVE HIM A PROFILE IN COURAGE LIFETIME AWARD AT THIS
POINT TIME. BUT IT WAS A MOMENT.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HE DOES FROM HERE.
Stephen: JEN, LOVELY TO HAVE YOU ON.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW SHOW. "INSIDE WITH JEN PSAKI"
PREMIERES THIS SUNDAY. THAT'S JEN PSAKI, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY ROBERT GLASPER.
STICK AROUND.
Stephen: HIS ALBUM "BLACK RADIO 3" WON BEST R&B ALBUM AT
THE 20 TWEENING THREE GRAMMY AWARDS
