>> THERE IS NO RESPONSE YET FROM THE PALACE OR THE BRITISH ROYAL
FAMILY AFTER PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE'S INTERVIEW WITH
OPRAH WINFREY LAST NIGHT T AN INTERVIEW FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS,
DEEPLY PERSONAL AND BRUTALLY CRITICAL OF HOW HARRY AND MEGHAN
RETREATED.
HOW DAMAGING IS THIS FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY AND DO WE EXPECT
THAT THEY ARE GOING TO RESPOND ANY TIME SOON?
>> I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY DAMAGING.
I THINK IT IS A LOT MORE DAMAGING THAN PEOPLE WERE
EXPECTING.
♪.
>> HELLO BOB.
>> YOUR MAJESTY.
>> I HAVE A SPECIAL PROJECT FOR YOU TODAY, THE BRITISH MONARCHY,

INBREEDING AND LET'S SAY ANDREW.
BOB, CAN YOU FIX IT?

TONIGHT ROYAL FLUSH.
PLUS STEPHEN WELCOMES NICOLLE WALLACE, MICHAELA COEL AND
MUSICAL GUEST KINGS OF LEON FEATURING JON BATISTE AND STAY
HUMAN.
AND NOW LIVE FROM THE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN
NEW YORK CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
>> Stephen: WELCOME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO "A LATE SHOW.
I'M YOUR HOST STEPHEN COLBERT.
I JUST WANT TO START OFF TONIGHT BY SAYING I FORGIVE KATE
MIDDLETON FOR MAKING YOU CRY, I DON'T ME CRY, I DON'T BLAME HER,
SHE APOLOGIZE, AND I FORGIVE HER, SHE IS A WONDERFUL WOMAN
WHO I HOPE TO MEET SOME DAY.
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE A WATCHED OPRAH'S BOMBSHELL INTERVIEW WITH
MEGHAN AND HARRY, IF YOU DIDN'T CATCH T LET ME TELL YOU ME LORDS
AND LADIES THINGS GOT REAL, REAL QUICK.
>> THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN AGREEMENT, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I
AM GOING TO ASK.
>> NO.
>> AND THERE IS NO SUBJECT THAT IS OFF LIMITS.
>> NO.
>> AND YOU ARE NOT GETTING PAID FOR THIS INTERVIEW.
>> ALL OF THAT IS CORRECT.
>> Stephen: I AM FEAR FOR IT.
NOW COULD USE SOME BUTTER.
AS YOU WILL RECALL, THE COUPLE LEFT THE ROYAL FAMILY AFTER
MONTHS OF RACIST ATTACKS FROM BRITISH TABLOIDS WITHOUT ANY
SUPPORT FROM THE PALACE TRK WAS SO BAD THE DUCHESS SAID SHE WAS
AT THE BREAKING POINT.
>> I WENT TO ONE OF THE MOST SEN QUER PEOPLE JUST TO GET HELP.
AND THAT, YOU KNOW, I SHARE THIS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
WHO ARE AFRAID TO VOICE THAT THEY NEED HELP.
AND I KNOW PERSONALLY HOW HARD IT IS TO NOT JUST VOICE IT, BUT
WHEN YOU VOICE IT TO BE TOLD NO.
AND SO I WENT TO HUMAN RESOURCES.
>> Stephen: HOLD UP.
YOU'RE SAYING BUCKINGHAM PALACE HAS HR?
HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN AROUND?
BECAUSE YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE IN HUMAN RESOURCES MIGHT HAVE
STEPPED IN TO TELL HENRY THE VIII THAT CHOPPING OFF YOUR
WIFE'S HEAD COULD BE INTERPRETED AS A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT.
OPRAH WAS AMAZING.
ASKING ALL THE RIGHT FOLLOWUPS.
>> DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT GOING TO A HOSPITAL OR IS THAT
POSSIBLE, THAT YOU CAN CHECK YOURSELF IN SOME PLACE.
>> NO, THAT IS WHAT I WAS ASKING TO DO.
>> YEAH.
>> YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT, I COULDN'T, YOU KNOW, CALL AN UBER
TO THE PALACE.
>> Stephen: NO, IT IS TRUE FOR A PRINCESS YOU HAVE TO DM THE
FAIRY GODMOTHER TO TURN A MUST INTO YOUR UBER DRIVER AND AN
ACORN SQUASH INTO A TOYOTA CAMRY.
BEING A ROYAL WAS CLEARLY TOUGH FOR MEGHAN AS SHE EXPLAINED WITH
IN DISNEY ANALOGY.
>> YEARS AGO WE WERE SITTING I WAS SITTING IN NOTTINGHAM
COTTAGE AND THE "LITTLE MERMAID" CAM ON.
NOW WHO AS AN ADULT REALLY WATCHES THE "LITTLE MERMAID."
>> Stephen: I WANT TO BE WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE.
♪ I WANT TO-- SORRY.
GO ON.
>> BUT IT CAME ON.
I WAS LIKE WELL, I'M HERE ALL THE TIME, MAY AS WELL WATCH
THIS.
AND I WENT OH MY GOD, SHE FALLS IN LOVE WITH A PRINCE, AND
BECAUSE OF THAT SHE HAS TO LOSE HER VOICE.
>> Stephen: IT'S TRUE.
ARIEL AND MEGHAN HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
WHO COULD FORGET THAT CRUEL HEADLINE IN THE DAILY MAIL,
PRINCESS ARIEL'S HAIR STYLE IS FORKED UP.
IT WAS CLEARED THAT THE DUCHESS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS SIGNING
UP FOR.
>> YOU WERE MARRYING A 1200 YEAR OLD INSTITUTION.
YOU WERE MARRYING THE MONARCHY.
WHAT DID YOU THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE?
>> WELL, I DIDN'T DO ANY RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT THAT WOULD
MEAN.
>> YOU DIDN'T DO IN ANY RESEARCH.
>> NO, I HAVE NEVER LOOKED UP MY HUSBAND ONLINE.
>> Stephen: WHAT?
LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU THIS THING CALLED GOOGLE, OKAY.
OVER THERE I THINK IT IS CALLED ALREADIY IT IS FULL OF USEFUL
INFORMATION.
FOR INSTANCE, IT TURNS OUT YOUR HUSBAND NEW PRINCESS DI, THAT
MIGHT HAVE BEEN A HINT THAT THIS WOULD BE A ROUGH GIG.
ALSO WHILE YOU ARE GOOGLING, YOU MY WANT TO TRY THE COMBO ANDREW,
ISLAND AND EPSTEIN, IT WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHAT THE ROYAL
FAMILY IS OKAY WITH.
OH, AND IF YOU DON'T GOOGLE THINGS, YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON
I CAN SHOW THIS THO.
IT A CAT WHO PLAYS THE ELECTRIC PIANO.
YOU HAD TO BE THERE.
IN 2007.
THINGS ARE NOT GREAT WITH THE INLAWS.
AS HARRY LET SLIP AT ONE POINT.
>> WHEN WE WERE IN CANADA I HAD THREE CONVERSATIONS WITH MY
GRANDMOTHER AND TWO CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER.
AND BEFORE HE STOPPED TAKING MY CALLS.
>> Stephen: HE IS UK DIDDING HIS SON'S CALLS.
IT ALWAYS HURTS WHEN YOUR FATHER WON'T LISTEN TO YOU, ESPECIALLY
WHEN HE HAS THESE EARS.
REALLY A WASTE.
BUT THE COUPLE SAYS THEIR REAL IN-LAW PROBLEMS CENTERED AROUND
THEIR SON ARCHIE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PALACE WANTED TO DENY HIM A
ROYAL TITLE AND THE ACCOMPANYING SECURITY DETAIL.
>> AND THE TITLE WAS HIM BEING CALLED A PRINCE, ARCHIE BEING
CALLED A PRINCE, WAS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> IF IT MEANT HE WAS GOING TO BE SAFE, THEN OF COURSE.
ALL THE GRANDEUR SURROUNDING THIS STUFF IS AN ATTACHMENT THAT
I DON'T PERSONALLY HAVE, RIGHT.
I HAVE BEEN A WAITRESS, AN ACTRESS, PRINCESS, A DUCHESS, I
HAVE ALWAYS STILL BEEN JUST MEGAN HAN, RIGHT.
>> Stephen: NOT RIGHT, WERE YOU RACHEL ZANE PARALEGAL TURNED
ATTORNEY AT SPECTOR LITT, DOING THE LAW BY DAY, AND MIKE ROSS BY
NIGHT.
COME ON, ARE YOU TELLING ME THE SEVEN YEARS I SPENT WATCHING
"SUITS" MEANT NOTHING.
I'M BEING TOLD THEY MEANT NOTHING.
THE DUCHESS WAS GRACEFUL FOR HER COMMONER ROOTS.
>> THANK GOD I HAD THAT LIFE EXPERIENCE.
THANK GOD I HAD KNOWN THE VALUE OF WORKING.
MY FIRST JOB WAS WHEN I WAS 13, AT A FROZEN YOGURT SHOP CALLED
HUMPHREY YOGART.
>> EVERYONE KNOWS HUMPHREY AND THEIR FAMOUS SLOGAN I THINK THIS
IS THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL FRO YO, IF YOU GO DON'T FORGET
TO GT YOUR SOFT SERVE IN A MALTESE FAL-CONE.
>> THAT IS RELATABLE.
I USED TO WORK AT LAUREN BACC-COLD CUTS.
ONE OF THE TRUE OUTRAGEOUS BOMB SHILS, REALLY HEARTBREAKING IS
WHEN MEGHAN RECALLED THIS TOWBL DID DG-- TOWBLING CONVERSATION.
>> IN THOSE MONTHS WHEN I WAG PREGNANT, ALL AROUND THE SAME
TIME, SO WE HAD IN TAN TELL THE CONVERSATION OF YOU WON'T BE
GIVEN SECURITY, NOT GOING TO BE GIVEN A TITLE.
AND ALSO CONCERNS AND CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW DARK HIS
SKIN MIGHT BE WHEN HE'S BORN.
>> WHAT?
>> Stephen: I AGREE.
WHAT?
AND LET ME JUST ADD, HUH?
I'M GOING TO GUT ON A LIMB HERE AND SAY THERE SAY POSSIBILITY,
JUST A POSSIBILITY, MIND YOU, THAT THIS MEDIEVAL SELECTIVE
BREEDING PROGRAM MIGHT BE RACIST ALSO IT'S NEVER GOOD WHEN THE
BRITISH RULING CLASS THINKS SOMEONE IS TOO DARK.
THEY STEAL THEIR LAND AND MAKE THEM PLAY CRICKET.
OPRAH TRIED TO FOLLOWUP ON THIS BOMBSHELL REVELATION.
>> AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL ME WHO HAD THE CONVERSATION?
>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY DAMAGING TO THEM.
>> Stephen: AN CLEARLY THE LAST THING MEGHAN WOULD WANT TO
DO AS SHE EXPOSES HER INLAWS AS RACIST, EMOTIONALLY ABUSING
CAPTORS IS DAMAGE ANYONE.
SO OPRAH ASKED PRINCE HARRY.
>> MEGHAN SHARED WITH US THAT THERE WAS A CONVERSATION WITH
YOU ABOUT ARCHIE'S SKIN TONE.
WHAT WAS THAT CONVERSATION?
>> THAT CONVERSATION, I AM NEVER GOING TO SHARE.
BUT AT THE TIME, AT THE TIME IT WAS AWKWARD.
>> Stephen: AWKWARD IS FOUR PEOPLE IN THE BACKSEAT OF A CAR.
AWKWARD IS FORGETTING YOUR FRIEND'S CHILD'S NAISM IT ONE OF
YOUR RELATIVES ASKING YOU TO PLACE YOUR CHILD ON THE SHERMAN
WILLIAMS COLOR WHEEL IS OILILY [BLEEP].
HARRY WOULDN'T REVEAL A NAME BUT THIS MORNING OPRAH WENT ON GAYLE
KING AND THE KINGETTES TO DROP THIS BREADCRUMB.
>> HE DID NOT SHARE THE IDENTITY WITH ME.
BUT HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I KNEW AND IF I HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE IT, THAT IT WAS NOT HIS GRANDMOTHER, NOR HIS
GRANDFATHER THAT WERE A PART OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
>> Stephen: SO IT IS NOT THE QUEEN OR PRINCE FILL LIP, SO
THAT NAR-- PHILLIP, SO THAT NARROWS IT DOWN TO EVERYONE ELSE
IN THE PALACE, COULD BE CHARLES, COULD BE CAMILLA COULD BE THE
CORGIS, THEY ARE A BUNCH OF BITCHES.
ANYWAY, IT WAS AN AMAZING INTERVIEW AND REFRESHING TO
LEAVE AMERICAN SELL ENRIT CULTURE BEHIND AND WATCH OPRAH
SIT DOWN WITH TWO HUMBLE CHICKEN FARMERS.
HEY, THERE IS POSITIVE NEWS ON COVID.
30 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE BEEN FULLY VACS NAILTED, 60 MILLION
HAVE RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE SHOT AND TODAY CDC DIRECTOR ROCHELLE
WALENSKY ANNOUNCED LONG-AWAITED GUIDE LINES FOR THE FULLY
VACCINATED, BUT SHE STARTED WITH A BIG ONE.
>> CDC RECOMMENDS THAT FULLY VACS NAILTED PEOPLE CAN VISIT
WITH OTHER FULLY VACCINATED PEOPLE IN SMALL GATHERINGS
INDOORS, WITHOUT WEARING MASKS.
>> OH YEAH, YOU HEARD THE DOCTOR, CDC APPROVED GERIATRIC
ORGY, GRAB AN EGG CREAM AND HEAD TO THE SCHALLERS HOUSE FOR STRIP
CRIBBAGE.
THOSE WHO HAVE GOTTEN THEIR SHOTS CAN RECORRECT WITH THEIR
FAMILIES, FULLY VACCINATED BRAND PARENTS MAY VISIT UNVACCINATED
HEALTHY ADULT CHILDREN AND HEALTHY GRANDCHILDREN WITHOUT

CAN LORD IT OVER US.
MY SPRING PREAK WAS AWESOME.
I SPENT IT IN THE FOAM PITS OF IBIZA.
HOW ABOUT YOU, OH, YOU WATCHED MY OCTOPUS TEACHER ON NETFLIX?
WELL, I ALSO HAD EIGHT ARMS WRAPPED AROUND MY NAKED CHEST.
CDC ALSO SAYS IF YOU ARE VACS NAILTED THE INFECTION RISK IS
LOW FOR GOING TO THE BLM.
-- GYM.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO HAVE THE PREEXISTING CONDITION OF NOT
WANTING TO GO TO THE GYM?
FOR THOSE OF YOU STILL WAITING FOR YOUR JAB, WATCH OUT.

BIG NEWS IN THE WORLD OF BASKETBALL, YOU KNOW HOW A LOT
OF STADIUMS HAVE SPITCAMS, THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS DECIDED TO
REPLACE THEIRS WITH MORE SOCIALLY DISTANCE OPTIONS LIKE
AN ELBOW BUMPINGCAM, A HAND WASHINGCAM AND SOMETHING CALLED
A HAND SANITIZERCAM.
WHICH WENT VIRAL WHEN FANS POINTED OUT IT LOOKED
DISTURBINGLY NOT GOOD.
>> OKAY, THIS IS FUN.
YOU GOT TO GET THE HAND SANITIZER, GET THE HANDS NICE
AND CLEAN, THERE WE GO.
OH, IT'S OUL OVER YOU, MAYBE YOU CAN WASH YOUR HAIR OUT.
LOOKING GOOD, GREAT JOB, BINGO.
LOOKING GOOD?
OH, THERE IT IS, THERE IT IS, YOU GOT IT, YOU GOT IT.
>> Stephen: JIMMY, THAT'S ENOUGH, THAT'S ENOUGH.
I DON'T-- I DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE CAN EVEN SHOW THAT ON CBS.
CAN WE BLUR THIS, PLEASE?
NO, THAT'S WORSE, THAT'S NOT HELPING.
THAT IS WORSE.
OBVIOUSLY THE HAND SANITIZERCAM TURNED OUT TO BE A LITTLE MORE
SUGGESTIVE THAN THEY INTENDED BUT EXPLAINED THE BUCK'S NEW
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, WEAR A MASK, STAY SIX FEET APART,
ENENABLE PRIVATE BROWSING.
FRIENDLY REMINDER IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT COMPARE
YOURSELF TO THE HAND SANITIZERCAM.
A LOT OF BOTTLES ARE MUCH SMALLER THAN THEY APPEAR.
FOLLOWING THE VIRAL FOOTAGE THEY ANNOUNCED THEY DO NOT PLAN TO
USE THE HAND SANITIZERCAM AGAIN.
HERE TO WEIGH IN ON THE CONTROVERSY IS THE STAR OF THE
HAND SAN ADVERTISERCAM, SANI THE SANITIZER BOTTLE.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW, SANI.

KEEPING HANDS CLEAN IS MY JOB.
IT'S MY HAND JOB.

IT IS JUST THAT WHEN I SEE DIRTY DIRTY PEOPLE, I BURST WITH
EXCITEMENT.
I WANT THIS PANDEMIC TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING.
>> Stephen: SANI, YOU'VE GOT TOO FAR.
PEOPLE ARE MISINTERPRETATIONING YOUR MESSAGE, ISN'T YOU GOOGLED
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT YOU.
>> NO, WHY, WHAT ARE THEY SAYK?
OH GOD, THAT'S FILTHY, I'VE GOT TO CLEAN.

-- HURRAY!

INTERVIEW WITH HARRY AND MEGHAN.
>> I DON'T THINK I SHOULD WEIGH IN, PRINCE ANDREW IS AN OLD
FRIEND OF MINE.
>> Stephen: SANI THE HAND SANITIZER, EVERYONE.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK.
JOINING ME NOW IS A FORMER WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
FOR PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, WHO CURRENTLY HOST HISS HOSTS
DEADLINE: WHITE HOUSE ON MSNBC.
PLEAS WELCOME NICOLLE WALLACE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
>> FIRST OF ALL HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HOW ARE YOU CELEBRATING?
>> YOU KNOW, THERE IS SO MUCH TO KORCH STILL.
I TO COVER STILL, HI A NORMAL DAY, I DID REMOTE SCHOOL WITH MY
SON, CAME TO WORK AND TWO DAYS OF COVERING THIS REMARKABLE
TIME, SO IT STILL FEELS LIKE A PRIVILEGE.
WE COVERED PRESIDENT BIDEN'S REMARKS WHICH ARE LIKE
EVERYTHING HE IS DOING, IT IS MARKING AN IMPORTANT DAY THAT HE
DID IT WITH THE PROMOTION OF TWO WOMEN TO FOUR FOUR STAR
GENERALS.
SO YOU KNOW, A PRETTY GOOD WOMAN'S DAY SO FAR.
>> Stephen: ABOUT BIDEN, DO YOU ENJOY THE BORING ASPECT OF
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AS MUCH AS I DO?
>> YOU KNOW, WE, I THINK, I THINK WE HAVE TO MAKE BORING
GREAT AGAIN.
I DON'T THINK IT'S BORING.
I THINK HE INHERITED THE COUNTRY IN ITS MOST TUMULTUOUS MOMENT.
AND I THINK WE ARE STILL IN THAT POSITION WHERE THE CURTAIN IS
STILL GETTING YANKED DOWN ON THE UGLY MESS UNDERNEATH.
SO I THINK THE BIDEN STORY MAY UNFOLD IN LESS VIOLENT WAYS, THE
ACRIMONY OF THE TWEETS AND THE VIOLENT INTERVIEWS ON FOX NEWS,
BUT I THINK THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT IS BEING PUT DOWN AND
REVEALED IS SOME OF THE MOST TUMULTUOUS THINGS HAVE I EVER
SEEN IN TERMS OF THE PANDEMIC, IN TERMS OF THE RISE IN WHITE
SUPREMACY, IN BEGINNING TO UNPACK WHAT WENT ON FOR FOUR
QUEERS, I THINK IT IS STILL A LOT FOR ME.
>> THE STORY IS FRAUGHT AND THE ACTION IS SUBSTANTIVE BUT IT'S
NO SIZZLE, ALL STEAK, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
THERE IS NO FLASH, IT JUST HAPPENS.
THE NEWS IS ACTUALLY NEWSWORTHY ALL THE TIME WHICH IS WHAT I
REALLY LIKED ABOUT IT.
THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE, 20-- 2019, I THINK, AND SINCE
THEN STARLTING IN AUGUST YOUR SHOW WENT FROM ONE HOUR TO TWO
HOURS.
ARE CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER OR CONDOLENCES BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO
LOOK TWICE AS LONG.
>> IT IS SUCH A PRIVILEGE.
WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, AN AMAZING TEAM AND IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO
GET TO BE SHEP HARDING THESE HOURS THROUGH.
YOU LOOK AT, YOU DO IT WITH A LOT MORE SKILL AND HUMOR THAN I
DO BUT I LOOK AT THE SAME SORT OF MOMENTS IN OUR COUNTRY, IT
SAY PRIVILEGE.
WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON TV COVERING SOME OF THE EVENTS THIS
YEAR.
WE COVERED ANOTHER IMPEEVEMENT.
I THINK I SAW YOU-- IMPEACHMENT.
I THINK I SAW IF HE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST IMPEACHMENT, THEN A
SECOND IMPEACHMENT.
THEN AN INSURRECTION AND INAUGURATION, SO THERE HAS BEEN
A LOT TO COVER AND IT IS ALL A PRIVILEGE TO SIT WITH ALL OF OUR
COLLEAGUES HERE.
>> YOU WORK FOR THE WHITE HOUSE, FOR SIX YEARS.
SO THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION.
AND NOW YOU COVER IT.
AS SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN ON THE INSIDE OF A WHITE HOUSE, THIS
WEEK, THE WEEKEND THE SENATE PASSED BIED EARN'S AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN, HOW BIG A DEAL IS THIS, AND WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT
THIS ADMINISTRATION THAT THAT WAS THEIR FIRST PRIORITY?
>> WELL, IT IS A HUGE DEAL, I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAYS
BACK IN MY DAY.
BACK IN MY DAY WHEN YOU HAD 70% PUBLIC APPROVAL FOR SOMETHING,
IT WAS JUST A NO-BRAINER THAT IT WOULD BE BIPARTISAN, SO IT IS SO
REMARKABLE ARE ALL THESE SORT OF PROOF POINTS OF HOW MUCH THE
COUNTRY HAS CHANGED.
HOW MUCH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS CHANGED.
SO PRESIDENT BIDEN JUST HAS THIS HUGE, HUGE STIMULUS, I THINK
70%, 76% OF ALL NARYN AMERICANS SUPPORT IT, A PLUR ALLITY OF
REPUBLICANS SUPPORT IT.
ZERO REPUBLICANS GOT BEHIND IT.
I WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO PUSH BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION IN THE
FIRST YEAR, TED KENNEDY SIGNED OFF THE LEAVE NO CHILD BEHIND,
THERE WAS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT TO HAVE BY PART SAJ
SUPPORT-- BIPARTISAN SUPPORT BUT NOWHERE NEAR 76% OF PUBLIC
APPROVAL FOR EITHER MEASURE, SO IT SEE BIPARTISANSHIP REDEFINED
MIGHT BE ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SORT OF THINGS THAT
THIS WHITE HOUSE HAS PULLED OFF SO FAR.
>> YOU CALLED YOURSELF A NONPRACTICING REPUBLICAN, IS
THAT WHAT IT IS?
>> I THINK I MOVED INTO SELF-LOATHING FORMER REPUBLICAN.
>> Stephen: I DON'T WANT YOU TO ANSWER FOR THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY AND I'M NOT HERE TO RELITIGATE THE BUSH
ADMINISTRATION.
BUT I USED TO TALK ABOUT THIS THING CALLED POOFINESS, ABOUT
BELIEVING WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE TO WIN THE POLITICAL
FIGHT RATHER THAN WHAT THE FACT WAS SUPPORT.
THAT IS NOT A NEW IDEA.
I THINK TREMP ADDED DEM GOINGERY TO T THAT IS SOMETHING THE BUSH
ADMINISTRATION DIDN'T HAVE, HE WAS NOT A DEMAGOGUE.
THAT IS WHAT TURNED IT IN A POISON OTS POLITICAL WEAPON,
DON'T YOU SEE SOME CONTINUEIUM BETWEEN CARL ROVE, YOU PEOPLE IN
THE REALITY-BASED COMMUNITY, THAT SORT OF BACKHANDED SLAP TO
REALITY THAT LEADS TO THE BIG LIE TODAY?
I SEE THOSE ON A SPECTRUM.
>> I THINK THAT'S FAIR.
I WAS A COMMUNICATOR.
I WAS A SPINNER, SO I HAD CULPABILITY THERE.
BUT IT ALSO GIVES ME AN INCITE.
AND I PROMISE YOU, THE OBSERVATION IS THAT THERE IS NO
LONGER A PARTY TRYING TO PUT THE BEST POSSIBLE SPIN ON THINGS,
THERE A PARTY COMING FROM THE FOUNDATION OF -- THERE IS NO
EXPLANATION ROOTED IN FACT FA FOR JOSH HAWLEY RAISING HIS FIST
AT THE INSURRECTIONISTS.
THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION ROOTED IN FACT FOR NEVER CARING ABOUT
THE COST OF ANYTHING DONALD TRUMP WANTED TO DO BUT HOLDING
THAT UP AS A REASON TO BE AGAINST THE COVID RELIEF PACKAGE
OR I'M SURE THEY WILL FIND A REASON TO BE AGAINST
INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A THING I'M TOLD BY
SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG IND THIS ADMINISTRATION.
SO I AM NOT HERE TO DEBATE WHETHER IT IS PART OF A
CONTINUUM BUT IT IS NOW NOT ROOTED, PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD A
REALLY DIFFERENT VIEW ABOUT POST WAR IRAQ.
HE BELIEVED IN SEPARATING THE COUNTRIES.
AND THERE WAS A DEBATE BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
I THINK RIGHT NOW REPUBLICANS, I'M SNOT SURE THEY WOULD
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A WAR TOOK PLACE IN IRAQ OR AMERICANS DIED
IN IRAQ.
THEY ARE SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH THAT YOU CAN NO LONGER HAVE A
CONVERSATION WITH THEM ABOUT HOW THO SOLVE ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY
DON'T AGREE ON WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE, AND THAT TERRIFIES ME.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU THINK-- DO YOU THINK THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE A CHANCE TO GET OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE SHADOWS
OF DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE THERE ARE BETS BEING LAID IN VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS TO WHAT THE FUTURE IS GOING TO
BE AND WHERE THE POWER IS GOING TO RESIDE.
TRUMP HAS SAID YOU CAN'T USE MY NAME OR IMAGE, R SNRKS C-- RNC
OR I WILL SUE YOU AND THE RNC CAPPITY LATED AND WILL HOLD A
FUNDRAISER AT MAR A LAGO.
THEY WILL FEED THE BEAST.
DADDY WILL GET HIS BEEK WET ON THAT ONE.
DOES THAT PAINT THE PICTURE OF TRYING TO GET OUT FROM UNDER HIS
THUMB.
>> I THINK IT IS ON US PEOPLE LIKE ME TO COVER IT DIFFERENTLY,
REPUBLICANS ARE NOT HOSS TAJ TO DONALD TRUFER, WHEN HE WAS
DEPLATFORMED, HE IS A GUY WHO CAN'T TWEET AND THEY ARE SORT OF
WALKING BACK INTO THE CAGE AND LOCKING THE DOOR THEMSELVES AND
THROWING OCCUPANT THE KEY.
THEY ARE NOW WALKING BACK IN.
AND CHOOSING TO ASSOCIATE THEMSELVES WITH SOMEONE WHO
INCITED AN INSURRECTION AGAINST THEM WHO CHANTED HANG MIKE
PENCE.
I THINK THAT THERE THEIR ACT SINCE ELECTION DAY REVEALS
SOMETHING THAT WAS ALWAYS OPAQUE AND MYSTERIOUS TO ME WHILE HE
WAS PRESIDENT.
THEY ARE NOT FORCED TO GO ALONG WITH TRUMPISM BECAUSE THEY HAVE
NO CHOICE.
THEY CHOOSE IT HE IS OFF TWITTER THERE IS NO RATIONAL FEAR OF A
MEAN TWEET.
THEY NOW GO TO MAR A LAGO LIKE IT IS SOME, I DON'T KNOW,
PILGRIMAGE THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO DO.
SO I THINK WE HAVE TO START COVERING IT DIFFERENTLY.
THEY ARE NOW THE ONES WHO ARE CHOOSING TO ASSOCIATE WITH HIM.
THERE IS NOTHING FORCING THEM TO DO SO.
>> Stephen: THERE WEEK MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE COVID UPENDED ALL
OF OUR LIVES.
AND YOU HAVE A SPECIAL ON WEDNESDAY CALLED LIVES WELL
LIVED WHICH IS BASED ON A REGULAR SEGMENT YOU DO ON YOUR
SHOW.
TELL ME HOW IT STARTED.
>> I REMEMBER BEING IN THE WHITE HOUSE ON 9/11 AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT NEVER BECAME POLITICIZED FROM THE-- ONE OF A
FEW THINGS WAS REMEMBERING THE PEOPLE ON FLIGHT 93 ARE, FOR
THEIR LAST MOMENTS, FOR THEIR HEROIC ACT.
WE STILL AS A COUNTRY READ THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN
THE PO TOWERS.
I ACTUALLY THINK THAT SOME OF THE UNPROCESSED GRIEF AND TERROR
OF WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY MAY HAVE SORT OF SEEPED IN AND
BECOME PART OF OUR BODY POLITICS IN WAYS THAT WE DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE, EVEN WITH SOME OF THOSE RITUALS OF
GRIEVING.
WHEN PEOPLE STARTED DYING IN HORRIFIC NUMBERS IN APRIL OF
LAST YEAR IN NEW YORK CITY.
IT WAS NOTHING THERE WAS NOTHING, THEY DIED ALONE.
SOME OF THEIR LAST IMAGES WITH THEIR FAMILIES WERE ON COMPUTERS
AND iPADS HOLDINGS THE HANDS OF EXHAUSTED NURSES.
THEY COULDN'T BE BURIED OR WHATEVER THEIR FAITH HAD AS
THEIR RITUAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING.
THERE WERE BEAUTIFUL OBITUARIES WRITTEN IN NEWSPAPERS BUT THAT
WAS IT.
AND I JUST REMEMBER THINKING THAT THAT COULDN'T BE, AND
SURELY SOMEONE WILL DO SOMETHING SOON, BUT UNTIL THEN WE'LL DO
SOMETHING HERE.
AND BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP WAS OUR PRESIDENT, THERE WAS NEVER ANY
NATIONAL EFFORT TOO HOLD THIS FAMILY, THEY DIDN'T GET TO HOLD
THEIR LOVED ONES AS THEY DIED.
AND THERE WAS NEVER ANY HOLDING THEM UP OR ANY ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
THEIR SACRIFICE BECAUSE OF BEING COMPETENT IN THE LAST
ADMINISTRATION, THE.
AND SO WE STARTED AND WE JUST HAVEN'T STOPPED AND WE HOPE TO
STOP.
WE HOPE EVERYONE IS VACCINATED AND THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT
WILL HEAL.
IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK IN THE WHITE HOUSE SEEMS
TO BE INTENT ON FEELING.
>> WELL, DEADLINE WHITE HOUSE AIRS WEEKDAYS AND NICOLLE'S
SPECIAL LIVES WELL LIVED AIRS THIS WEDNESDAY ON MSNBC.
NICOLLE WALLACE, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE STAR OF I MAY DESTROY YOU,
MICHAELA COEL.
>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY, MY NEXT GUEST IS THE
STAR, CREATOR AND WRITER OF THE HBO SERIES "I MAY DESTROY YOU".
>> IT SEPARATES HIM FROM EVERYTHING ELSE.
RATHER THAN COSTING HIM, HE TIP TOED ON THIS AND HE EXPERIENCED
THIS FEELING BEING ON THE BOUNDARY.
ON THE BORDER.
RIGHT ON THE LINE OF BEING NEITHER IN ONE PLACE OR ANOTHER,
AND THOUGHT HOW IN THIS GRAY AREA WHERE NOTHING WAS QUITE
CLEAR, NO ONE COULD BE CLEAR.
YOU CAN'T ARTICULATE, COULDN'T PINPOINT EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS WE
FELT WAS SO WRONG, SO YEAH, HE THINKS HE IS THE SMARTEST MAN IN
THE ROOM.
WE HAVE IO START OBSERVING.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME TO 'A' LATE SHOW, MICHAELA COEL.
>> HI, STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
>> A PLEASURE, THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME.
>> Stephen: WHERE AM I CATCHING YOU IN THE WORLD, IN
THE U.K. OR IN THE STATES.
>> IN LONDON, IN THE U.K.
>> Stephen: WELL, THANK YOU FOR STAYING UP LATE, THEN.
>> IT'S MY PLEASURE, THIS IS ABOUT, I'M PROBABLY GOING TO
START FALLING ASLEEP IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, SO YOU CAUGHT ME
JUST AT MY-- JUST RELAXED.
>> Stephen: ME TOO, WE'RE EVEN.
>> YOU TOO?
WHAT TIME IS IT WHERE ARE YOU.
>> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
>> WHAT TIME IS IT WHERE ARE YOU.
>> Stephen: JUST PAST MY BED TIME, I PROMISE YOU.
>> I SEE.
>> Stephen: I AM MUCH OLDER THAN YOU ARE.
I YOU YOU CREATED, WROTE, DIRECTED AND STARRED IN, WAS
RELEASED LAST SUMMER AND IT WAS AN INSTANT CRITICAL SUCCESS.
AMAZING THINGS IN THE REVIEWS.
IS HBO, I MAY DESTROY YOU MIGHT BE THE BEST TV SHOW OF THE YEAR.
I MAY DESTROY YOU, HBO'S NEW UNFORGETTABLE, UNMISSABLE DRAMA.
HBO'S I MAY DESTROY SU THE MOST ASTONISHING SHOW ON TV RIGHT
NOW.
IT'S GETTING ALL OF THIS INCREDIBLE PRAISE DURING COVID
QUARANTINE, COULD YOU FEEL IT?
OR WAS THAT ALL JUST HAPPENING AT A GREAT DISTANCE LIKE A CHOIR
SINGING IN A DISTANT ROOM.
>> YES, VERY MUCH.
THEY SENT ME THIS FRAMED POSTER WITH MY FACE AS ARABELLA AND ALL
OF THESE CAPTIONS FROM THESE WONDERFUL JOURNALISTS.
AND I REMEMBER OPENING THE PACKAGE AND LOOKING AT ALL THE
QUOTES AND MY HEAD WAS JUST SPINNING BECAUSE IT IS-- LIFE IS
SO SMALL, YOU KNOW, I WAKE UP.
I GO TO A RUN.
I ORDER IN MY GROCERIES.
I WATCH TV.
I GO TO SLEEP.
SO TO SEE IT, IT WAS LIKE THIS IS WEIRD.
THERE IS A DISCONNECT.
I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
>> Stephen: THE SHOW IS BASED ON YOUR OWN STORY.
AND WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO TAKE YOUR OWN TRAUMA AND TURN THAT
INTO A STORY THAT YOU SHARE WITH OTHER PEOPLE, WHAT WAS THAT
DIFFICULT OR WAS IT IN SOME WAYS EMPOWERING?
>> I THINK IF WAS BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.
IT STARTS OFF REALLY SMALL WHEN YOU, I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
MAKE CONVERSATION.
IT IS LAUNCHED TO THE WORLD, BEFORE YOUR CAST EVEN GATHERS
FOR A TABLE READ, THERE SAY VERY INTIMATE YEAR AND A HALF OF
WRITING WHERE YOU ARE CREATING SOMETHING AND SHARING IT WITH
HBO AND THAT IS MY COPRODUCERS PHIL AND TED AT THE BBC, SO IT
IS THIS TINY PUB THE HUB, AND EVERYTHING FEELS REALLY
INTIMATE.
AND THEN THERE IS THE NEXT PHASE WHERE THE CAST HAS YOUR SCRIPT
AND THE CREW HAVE YOUR SCRIPT AND NOW A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE ARE
READING IT AND THEN IT GOES TO THE WORLD AND IT IS MILLIONS.
SO IT FEELS QUITE GRADUAL IN SHARING SOMETHING SO PERSONAL,
AND IT IS STILL HARD AND IT IS STILL TRIPPY BUT SOMETHING
CAUSED A LOT OF PAIN AND SOMETIMES IT IS A SURPRISE TO ME
THE FACT THAT IT EVEN HAPPENS.
IT IS SOMETIMES TRIPPY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HEARING ABOUT
IT.
AND WATCHING IT.
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT MAKING A SHOW ABOUT YOUR PAIN,
IT'S ALMOST AS IF NEW MEMORIES REPLACE OLD ONES, OR SORT OF
STAND BESIDE PAINFUL MEMORIES SO WHENEVER YOU THINK ABOUT THE
PAIN YOU THINK ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE OF MAKING
THE SHOW AND WHAT A JOY IT WAS AND HOW MANY OPPORTUNITIES IT
GAVE TO OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL AS MYSELF.
>> IS THIS TRUE THAT BEFORE YOU, EVERY TIME BEFORE YOU START
WRITING A PROJECT YOU GOOGLE HOW TO WRITE A TELEVISION SERIES?
>> YES, YES, I MEAN HAVE I ONLY MADE THE THREE.
THIS IS THE THIRD SHOW.
>> >> Stephen: ONLY THREE.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN THIS GAME FOR A
VERY LONG TIME.
>> Stephen: I KNOW, BUT THAT IS A LOT.
SO WHAT DO YOU LEARN, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO REGOOGLE IT EVERY TIME.
>> NOW ARE YOU ASKING ME WHAT I LEARN, AND AGAIN I DON'T
REMEMBER WHICH MEANS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GOOGLE AGAIN.
I THINK I'M LEARNING SOME SORT OF BASIC LIKE ADD STRUCTURE, IN
THE HERO HAS TO LEARN SOMETHING, AND FIRST YOU BEGIN WITH, YOU
SET UP THE LIFE AND THEN WE MEET A PROBLEM.
IT'S SOME BASIC STUFF THAT I THINK OTHER PEOPLE LEARNED WHEN
THEY WERE WRITING IN WRITER'S ROOMS OR WHEN THEY WENT TO
SCHOOL STO LEARN ABOUT WRITING.
HAVE I NEVER DONE EITHER OF THOSE THINGS SO I HAVE TO KEEP
SORT OF LEARNING THIS ELEMENTARY, LIKE WIKIHOW TO
WRITE.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.
SO POST SOME LINK FOR THE REST OF US THAT COULD USE REFRESHERS.
>> TYPE IT IN GOOGLE OR DOT DOT GO, WHATEVER YOUR SEARCH ENGINE,
AOL, ASK JEEFS HOW TO WRITE A TV SHOW.
YOU CAN ALWAYS DO HOW TO WRITE A COMEDY, HOW TO WRITE A DRAMA.
IT'S ALL THERE.
>> Stephen: THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> PLEASURE.
>> Stephen: I MAY DESTROY YOU IS AVAILABLE NOW ON HBO.
MICHAELA COEL, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY KINGS OF LEON.
>> SIN HE MA, NO.
PLEASE RISE FOR OUR GREAT AN MIGHTY EMPEROR.
SO WHEN I USE MY PHONE TO PASS JUDGMENT I TRY TO BE SENSITIVE
ABOUT IT BECAUSE ST SOMEONE'S FATE, THIS AFFECTS 40 MILLION,
SO I TRY TO FAIN BEING SAD, MAYBE MAKE A FROWNY FACE AND SAY
THIS IS SO HARD.
>> THEY SAY OUR CULTURE IS BAR BARIC.
>> SUCH CRAP.
>> AT LEAST WE GAVE OUR GUYS HELP.
>> Stephen: AND NOW, BACK FOR ANOTHER NIGHT, PERFORMING
"STORMY WEATHER" FROM THEIR ALBUM, "WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELF,"
KINGS OF LEON.
