FEATURING JON BATISTE AND STAY HUMAN.
AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN NEW YORK
CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I'LL GET IT TO YOU AS SOON AS I
CAN. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Audience: STEPHEN! STEPHEN!
STEPHEN!
>> Stephen: HELLO! HELLO, EVERYBODY!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT. HAVE A SEAT.
THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO "THE LATE SHOW."
I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT. NOW I DON'T KNOW--
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE JANUARY 6th
COMMITTEE'S LIVE HEARINGS ON THURSDAY IN PRIME TIME.
THEY ARE DESTINED TO GO DOWN IN THE ANNALS OF LIVE TV, LIKE
THE WATERGATE HEARINGS, THE MOON LANDING,
AND THE TIME WALTER CRONKITE WAS SWALLOWED BY A PYTHON.
( LAUGHTER ) EVENING, WHICH IS WHY "THE LATE
SHOW" WILL BE GOING LIVE, LIVE, BABY, RIGHT THERE, AFTER THE
HEARINGS. YOU CAN'T KEEP US DOWN!
YOU GO LIVE, WE GO LIVE! COME ON!
I'M TIRED ALREADY! >> Jon: YEAH, BABY.
>> Stephen: I AM PREEXHAUSTED. NOW, HERE'S THE DEAL:
ALL THE MAJOR NEWS OUTFITS-- CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN--
WILL BE COVERING THE HEARINGS LIVE, WHILE THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL
WILL STAY WITH ITS USUAL PRIMETIME LINEUP.
WELL, THAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD. NO, IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD.
WE'LL HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THE PEOPLE WHO PLANNED THE COU
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) TWEETS.
WE'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE HEARINGS,
THIS THURSDAY, THANKS TO MARYLAND REPRESENTATIVE AND MAN
IN THE DENTIST'S WAITING ROOM REALIZING EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT
HIM AND WENT HOME, JAMIE RASKIN. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
SPELL A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT FRAUD-O
BAGGINS. ( LAUGHTER )
FIRE UP THAT MOB AND TELL THEM TO MARCH ON THE CAPITOL BUT
RASKIN SAYS THERE'S MORE TO THE STORY.
>> THE SELECT COMMITTEE HAS FOUND EVIDENCE ABOUT A LOT MORE
THAN INCITEMENT HERE. >> Stephen: OOH, THAT IS
TANTALIZINGLY VAGUE. ( LAUGHTER )
TITLE OF BREAKING BAD: "ABOUT A LOT MORE THAN
CHEMISTRY." ( LAUGHTER )
PRESIDENT'S PLAN TO OVERTHROW THE LEGITIMATE RESULTS
OF A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION WAS TO GO TO THE SEVEN BATTLEGROUND
STATES HE LOST AND JUST MAKE UP ALTERNATE SLATES OF ELECTORS WHO
WOULD CLAIM HE HAD WON THEIR STATE.
WHY STOP THERE? WHY NOT JUST BRING IN A FAKE
MIKE PENCE? YOU COULD BORROW MINE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) SO LIFELIKE.
YESTERDAY, WE LEARNED THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS
DISCOVERED AN EMAIL FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S CAMPAIGN IN
GEORGIA URGING FAKE ELECTORS THERE TO USE, "COMPLETE
SECRECY." NEVER A SIGN YOU'RE PROUD OF
YOUR ACTIONS: "HERE'S MY RESUME.
TELL NO ONE." ( LAUGHTER )
THE MAN-- ( APPLAUSE )
♪ ♪ ♪ THE MAN BEHIND THAT EMAIL WAS
THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S ELECTION-DAY HEAD OF OPERATIONS
IN GEORGIA. WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN?
OH, YEAH, ROBERT SINNERS. FINALLY, A SIGN FROM GOD WHO THE
BAD GUYS ARE. OTHER PEOPLE ON THE EMAIL CHAIN
WERE HIS COWORKERS, SONNY O'SATAN, IMA JAGOFF, AND JOHNNY
DEPP. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO.
YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING? >> Jon: I'VE BEEN WATCHING.
A LOT HAPPENING. >> Stephen: SOME COUP PLOTTERS
ARE ACTUALLY FACING SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES, BECAUSE YESTERDAY,
FIVE MEMBERS OF THE PROUD BOYS WERE INDICTED FOR SEDITION IN
THE CAPITOL ATTACK, WHICH CARRIES A MAXIMUM SENTENCE OF 20
YEARS IN PRISON. I GOT TO TELL YOU,
SEEING THOSE GUYS ARRESTED ( CHOKING UP )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) MMMM!
NOW, IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PROUD BOYS-- THAT SOUNDS
LOVELY. BUT AS A REFRESHER, THEY'RE
A FAR-RIGHT, ANTI-IMMIGRANT, ALL-MALE GROUP WHO TAKE THEIR
NAME FROM AN OBSCURE SHOW TUNE FROM THE DISNEY MUSICAL
"ALADDIN" ENTITLED "PROUD OF YOUR BOY."
IT WAS ACTUALLY THEIR SECOND DISNEY SONG CHOICE.
ORIGINALLY, THEY WERE THE SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALI-
DOUCHEBAGS. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: AAAHHH! AAAHH!
>> Stephen: THE PROUD BOYS HAVE A LOT OF STRANGE RULES, LIKE
THIS ONE: "NO HETEROSEXUAL BROTHER OF THE
FRATERNITY SHALL MASTURBATE MORE THAN ONE TIME IN ANY CALENDAR
MONTH." THAT'S GONNA MAKE THOSE 20 YEARS
IN PRISON SEEM PRETTY LONG. BUT I DO--
( APPLAUSE ) ANGRY.
I DON'T GET-- WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS BEFORE-- I DON'T GET
ONCE A MONTH. I GET NONE, THAT MAKES SENSE.
BUT ONCE A MONTH? AS A TREAT, YOU KNOW.
THE PROUD BOYS ARE GOING TO BE PROMINENTLY FEATURED DURING THE
LIVE HEARINGS ON THURSDAY, BECAUSE THE COMMITTEE INTENDS TO
PRESENT LIVE TESTIMONY FROM A BRITISH DOCUMENTARIAN WHO WAS
FILMING THE GROUP, WITH THEIR PERMISSION, DURING THE RIOT.
WHY DO YOU LET A FILM CREW FOLLOW YOU WHILE YOU COMMIT
TREASON? WELL, SAME REASON BENEDICT
ARNOLD COMMISSIONED THAT PAINTING OF HIM HANDING OVER THE
PLANS. ACROSS THE POND--
( APPLAUSE ) OF BENEDICT ARNOLD,
ACROSS THE POND, THERE'S NEWS ABOUT BRITISH PRIME MINISTER AND
HAUNTED BOSS BABY, BORIS JOHNSON.
BOJO'S BEEN IN TROUBLE EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT THAT DURING
THE PANDEMIC, HE THREW MULTIPLE BOOZEY PARTIES IN VIOLATION OF
HIS OWN COVID LOCKDOWN. IT'S THE BIGGEST PRIME MINISTER
SCANDAL SINCE WORLD WAR II, WHEN THE PRESS DISCOVERED THAT,
SOMETIMES, CHURCHILL WASN'T DRUNK.
( LAUGHTER ) WITH JOHNSON, ESPECIALLY NOT
YOUR AVERAGE JOE 6-PINT. RIGHT NOW, BORIS'S APPROVAL
RATING IS DOWN TO 29%. OF COURSE, THAT'S 29% IN METRIC,
SO TO CONVERT THAT TO IMPERIAL, WE HAVE TO MULTIPLY BY 9...
PLUS OR MINUS 32... DIVIDED BY FIVE...
PLUS OR MINUS 32... STILL BETTER THAN BIDEN.
( LAUGHTER ) OOOH!
>> Stephen: HEY! READ A NEWSPAPER.
( LAUGHTER ) LOW POINT YESTERDAY WHEN THE
BRITISH PARLIAMENT HELD A "NO CONFIDENCE" VOTE TO REMOVE HIM
FROM OFFICE, A VOTE HE SURVIVED. WELL, OF COURSE HE DID!
JUST LOOK AT HIM. THE MAN IS OBVIOUSLY A
SURVIVOR OF MULTIPLE SHIPWRECKS. NOW AFTER--
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THANK YOU, LOUIS.
BACK AT YOU. BACK AT YOU.
AFTER BARELY HOLDING ONTO HIS JOB, JOHNSON STILL FELT
ABSOLUTELY TICKETY-BOO. >> I THINK THIS IS A VERY GOOD
RESULT FOR POLITICS AND FOR THE COUNTRY.
WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT AS A GOVERNMENT, WE CAN MOVE ON AND
FOCUS ON THE STUFF THAT I THINK REALLY MATTERS TO PEOPLE.
>> Stephen: "THE STUFF THAT REALLY MATTERS TO PEOPLE, LIKE,
AM I A HUMAN MAN OR SOME SORT OF GRIZZLED MUPPET, PART OF
AN ELABORATE PRANK BY THE JIM HENSON CREATURE SHOP?
I'VE NEVER SEEN ME FROM THE WAIST DOWN.
OH, MY. OH, MY."
( APPLAUSE ) OPTIMISM LASTS, BECAUSE OTHER
PRIME MINISTERS, LIKE THERESA MAY AND MARGARET THATCHER, ALSO
WON NO-CONFIDENCE VOTES, ONLY TO RESIGN SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
AT BEST, RIGHT NOW, JOHNSON STANDS ON THE PRECIPICE OF A
DIVIDED CONSERVATIVE PARTY, TO WHICH JOHNSON SAID, "PARTY??
WHERE? APPLETINIS ON ME!"
( APPLAUSE ) THROUGH SOME POST-PANDEMIC
WEIRDNESS, AND THAT MEANS MORE SHORTAGES.
AND THIS SUMMER COULD BRING A BIG ONE, BECAUSE WE ARE FACING A
LIFEGUARD SHORTAGE. AND JUST TO BE SAFE, I'VE SPENT
THE LAST TWO YEARS TURNING MY BODY INTO A FLOATATION DEVICE.
( LAUGHTER ) THIRD OF PUBLIC POOLS
NATIONWIDE, WITH SOME HAVING TO REDUCE HOURS OR CLOSE
ALTOGETHER. OH, NO!
NOW WHERE WILL KIDS MAKE CLASSIC SUMMER MEMORIES, LIKE GETTING
PINK EYE AND ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWING A BAND-AID?
( LAUGHTER ) ACCORDING TO AN OFFICIAL AT THE
LAS VEGAS ASSOCIATION, WE WILL HAVE A LAS VEGAS SHORTAGE NEXT
YEAR. IT'S GOING TO TAKE YEARS TO GET
OUT OF THIS. I'M NOT SURPRISED.
LAS VEGASES FAMOUSLY TRAVEL ONLY IN SLOW MOTION.
NOW, IT'S NOT JUST... ( APPLAUSE )
PEOPLE. IT'S ALSO SHORTAGES OF STUFF
PEOPLE USE, BECAUSE, APPARENTLY, THE UNITED STATES IS
EXPERIENCING A TAMPON SHORTAGE. ON AMAZON ONE BOX OF 18 TAMPAX
LISTED AS $114. THAT IS AWFUL.
I HAVE A SUGGESTION WHERE THOSE COMPANIES CAN STICK THEIR PRICE
GOUGING. AND THEY MIGHT GET TOXIC SHOCK.
( APPLAUSE ) RUINING YOUR JEANS.
IT'S ALSO RUINING YOUR FUN, BECAUSE THERE'S A HELIUM
SHORTAGE IMPACTING PROM AND GRADUATION PARTIES.
A HELIUM SHORTAGE? I HAVE ONLY ONE THING TO
SAY TO THAT. ( IN HIGH VOICE )
PROM, KIDS, BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO TALK FUNNY
ON TV. WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT. MY GUESTS ARE ROBERT DE NIRO
AND ROSIE PEREZ. BUT WHEN WE COME BACK,
"MEANWHILE"! STICK AROUND, WON'T YOU.
( APPLAUSE ) STAY HUMAN, EVERYBODY!
>> Jon: HELLO. >> Stephen: HELLO, FRIENDS.
OH, MY GOODNESS. SO, WE'VE GOT TWO EXTRAORDINARY
GUESTS TONIGHT. THE LOVELY, THE TALENTED, ROSIE
PEREZ IS GOING TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
>> Jon: YES. >> Stephen: AND A FRIEND OF
THE SHOW, BOBBY D., TOUGH GUY HIMSELF, ROBERT De NIRO WILL
BE OVER HERE TONIGHT. A GIANT.
>> Jon: A LEGEND, A LIVING LEGEND.
>> Stephen: YOU KNOW, FOLKS, I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME, RIGHT
OVER THERE, PORING OVER THE DAY'S BIGGEST STORIES,
COLLECTING THE FINEST, MOST-TOPICAL NEWS CALFSKINS AND
PAINSTAKINGLY WASHING THEM IN A CALCIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION, THEN
SOAKING THEM IN LIME FOR DAYS TO REMOVE ALL NARRATIVE IMPURITIES
AND CREATE A PALE VELLUM THAT I LATER PLACE ON MY SCRIPTORIUM IN
A MONASTERY ON THE CLIFFS OF DOVER.
THERE, USING A PEN CUT FROM THE WING FEATHER OF A SWAN ON THE
RIVER AVON, I DESIGN COPTIC AND SYRIAC ILLUSTRATIONS, ADORNED
WITH WHIMSICAL CELTIC SPIRALS AND USE GERMANIC ZOOMORPHIC
DESIGNS TO CREATE THE MARGINALIA SURROUNDING PAGES OF ELEGANT
HALF-UNSIAL INSULAR SCRIPT THAT TELL THE HOLIEST OF STORIES,
WHICH I THEN BIND WITH GOLDEN THREAD UNDER A PROTECTIVE CASE
OF CARVED OAK TO CREATE FOR YOU THE GLORIOUS LATE
ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT THAT IS MY MONOLOGUE.
BUT SOMETIMES, FOLKS, SOMETIMES, ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
THEY DONE. BUT SOMETIMES, FOLKS,
I COME TO UNDER A RAMP IN THE MIDDLE OF A DEMOLITION DERBY,
HOTWIRE THE TRUCKASAURUS AND LEAD THE POLICE ON A CHASE
BEFORE CRASHING INTO A SWAMP GATHERING JUST AS, WHAT I ASSUME
IS A PRIEST SAYS, "YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE," RIP A LEECH OFF MY
ASS, AND USE IT TO HASTILY DOODLE A SKETCH OF THE SCENE IN
MY OWN BLOOD ON AN OLD DAVE AND BUSTERS RECEIPT, THEN STAGGER
TOWARD THE HAPPY COUPLE CLUTCHING THE NIGHTMARE
STALKER'S WEDDING ALBUM OF NEWS THAT IS MY SEGMENT:
MEANWHILE! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
HARBOR, BUT ALWAYS SAILS STRONG. MEANWHILE, A POPCORN SHORTAGE IS
LOOMING AS MOVIE THEATER ATTENDANCE PICKS UP.
POPCORN SUPPLIES ARE SO TIGHT RIGHT NOW THAT MOVIE THEATERS
MAY NO LONGER BE ABLE TO OFFER POPCORN IN LARGE, EXTRA LARGE,
AND DUMPSTER. ( LAUGHTER )
REMEMBER HOW "MORBIUS" WAS THE BIGGEST BOX OFFICE DISASTER OF
THE YEAR? I THINK "MORBIOUS" IS HERE THIS
EVENING. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
WELL, AFTER PEOPLE ON TWITTER STARTED SARCASTICALLY PRAISING
THE MOVIE, SONY DECIDED TO RE-RELEASE IT IN THEATERS LAST
WEEK, WHERE IT IMMEDIATELY BOMBED AGAIN, ONLY GROSSING
$85,000 ON FRIDAY. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THAT PITCH:
"OKAY, LIGHTNING BOLT IDEA-- HEAR ME OUT-- WHAT IF THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY DIDN'T SEE THIS MOVIE... BUT TWICE!"
MEANWHILE, IN MAN'S BEST FRIEND NEWS, A CHICAGO SUBURB PASSED A
LAW LIMITING HOW MUCH DOGS CAN BARK, AND NOW OWNERS OF ANIMALS
THAT ARE MAKING EXCESSIVE NOISE BETWEEN 7:00 A.M. AND 10:00 P.M.
COULD RECEIVE A $100 TICKET. ESPECIALLY IF THAT EXCESSIVE
NOISE COMES FROM YOUR DOG'S METAL BAND.
( LAUGHTER ) WORLD'S NUMBER-ONE PRODUCER OF
ENNUI, A MAN IN A WIG WAS DETAINED AFTER THROWING A
PIECE OF CAKE AT THE "MONA LISA."
HE SMEARED CAKE ON THE GLASS AND THREW ROSES EVERYWHERE.
SO HIS ACT OF VANDALISM WAS HURLING PATISSERIE AND FLOWERS?
IS ALL CRIME IN FRANCE THIS FRENCH?
( AS FRENCH CRIMINAL ) BAGUETTE.
NOBODY MOVES, AND NOBODY GETS BUTTERED."
( LAUGHTER ) SPARKED RETIREMENT RUMORS.
OH, WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE. HE'LL SAY HE'S RETIRING, NEXT
THING YOU KNOW, HE'S TAKING THE BUCCANEERS TO THE SUPER
BOWL. ( LAUGHTER )
MEANWHILE, THANKS TO HIS SALARY, ENDORSEMENTS, AND VARIOUS
BUSINESS DEALS, LEBRON JAMES IS NOW A BILLIONAIRE.
GREAT, YET ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE WITH A POINTLESS, MONEY-LOSING
SPACE PROGRAM. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
ROBERT De NIRO. ♪ ♪ ♪
( APPLAUSE ) THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW," EVERYBODY.
FOLKS, MY FIRST GUEST IS A TWO-TIME ACADEMY AWARD WINNER
AND ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL, WHICH
RETURNS TOMORROW FOR ITS 21st YEAR.
PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW," ROBERT DE NIRO!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: IT IS-- IT IS SO NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK.
YOU REALLY CLASS UP A PLACE. >> WELL, THAT'S VERY-- VERY NICE
OF YOU. >> Stephen: I'M A VERY NICE
PERSON. >> YOU ARE.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU. >> YOU ARE.
>> Stephen: YOU EVIDENTLY JUST NOTICED THAT I'M A NICE PERSON.
>> NO, I'VE KNOWN THAT FOR A WHILE.
I'VE ALWAYS LIKED YOU. >> Stephen: HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO YOU IN PERSON.
YOU WERE ON COVID OVER ZOOM, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN PERSON IN
A COUPLE OF YEARS. HOW ARE YOU HOLDING TOGETHER?
>> EVERYTHING IS MOVING ALONG. IT'S REALLY NICE THAT IT'S
OVER-- NOT OVER, HOPEFULLY IT'S GETTING-- BECOMING OVER.
>> Stephen: YEAH, YEAH, WE'VE BEEN FOOLED COUPLE OF TIMES
BEFORE, YEAH. WHAT ABOUT-- I KNOW YOU HAVE A
FAIR AMOUNT OF-- YOU HAVE EMOTIONS ABOUT POLITICS.
YOU HAVE THOUGHTS, OF COURSE, FIRST.
THOSE STIR EMOTIONS. I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME ANXIETY
ABOUT THE STATE OF POLITICS IN THE UNITED STATES.
HAVING A NEW GUY AT 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, DO YOU
SLEEP ANY BETTER AT NIGHT? >> YES.
( LAUGHTER ) HE'S-- YOU KNOW, HE GOT US INTO
CALM WATERS. THAT WAS ALWAYS THE IDEA.
>> Stephen: YEAH, YEAH. >> HE'S DOING A VERY GOOD JOB.
IT'S A TOUGH ONE. I COULDN'T IMAGINE-- I CAN
IMAGINE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS. I HAVE DECISIONIN MY OWN
PERSONAL LIFE, BUT I IMAGINE WHAT HE GOES THROUGH IS 100
TIMES THAT. AND SO-- NO, HE'S DOING THE BEST
HE CAN, AND WE'VE GOT TO GET THROUGH A BAD PERIOD, PERIOD.
>> Stephen: YEAH, YEAH. IT'S GRADUATION SEASON.
ONE THING YOU AND I HAVE HAD IN COMMON, WE'VE DONE A COUPLE OF
GRADUATION, COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES OVER THE YEARS.
>> YES. >> Stephen: WHAT ADVICE DO YOU
LIKE TO GIVE? I GAVE SOME ADVICE TONIGHT.
I JUST TOLD A YOUNG LADY OVER HERE.
I SAID, "DON'T WORRY. IT'S NOT GOING TO HELP."
AND I'M CURIOUS-- WHAT KIND OF ADVICE WOULD YOU TO HAVE GOTTEN?
>> I THINK I GOT-- YOU CAN'T GIVE ADVICE REALLY AT THE END OF
THE DAY. YOU'RE OUT THERE ON YOUR OWN.
AND I GUESS -- >> Stephen: THAT'S THE ADVICE?
( LAUGHTER ) "GOOD LUCK!"
>> I TELL ANY ACTOR, AND I TELL MY OWN KIDS, IF YOU'RE READING
FOR SOMETHING, JUST ASSUME YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE
PART, AND THAT WILL FREE YOU. IF ANYTHING, IT WILL FREELY YOU
TO MAKE A BOLDER CHOICE MAYBE. AND WHAL HAPPEN, IT'S MORE
IMPORTANT THAN EVEN THE DIRECTOR WATCHING YOU DO THE READING,
IT'S THE CASTING DIRECTOR, BECAUSE THEY-- THEY WORK WITH
DIRECTORS ALL THE TIME. SO IF THEY SEE YOU DO SOMETHING
THAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING AND BOLD, THEY'LL TELL THE DIRECTOR
OF ANOTHER PROJECT THEY'RE WORKING ON.
"WELL, MAYBE THIS ACTOR IS NOT QUITE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
THEY'RE INTERESTING AND YOU SHOULD MEET THEM."
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> Stephen: HE HAS AN INTERESTING QUALITY, THIS ACTOR,
WHERE HE DOESN'T THINK HE'S EVER GOING TO HAVE ANYTHING GOOD
HAPPEN FOR HIM. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU EVER GO IN AS A YOUNG ACTOR GO IN AND SAY,
"I'M NOT GOING TO GET THIS"? >> NO, IT'S NOT EASY BUT YOU DO
ASSUME YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT.
I'VE READ FOR THINGS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND I'VE
DONE IT EVERY WHICH WAY TO THE POINT ABSURDITY.
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY JUST WANTED SOMEBODY-- I WASN'T
QUITE RIGHT NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICED IT, SO THEY GOT SOMEBODY
WITH A NAME VALUE, AND THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
>> Stephen: ROBERT De NIRO, DOESN'T HAVE--
>> NOT THEN. WHEN I WAS IN MY EARLY 20.
>> Stephen: YOUNG ROBERT De NIRO.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD THIS EXPERIENCE, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
AND A STRUGGLING ACTOR TRYING TO REALLY BE AN ACTOR, AS OPPOSED
TO WHATEVER THIS IS. ( LAUGHTER )
THIS IS. IS THAT I ALWAYS FELT WHEN I WAS
WORKING, OF COURSE I'M GOING TO KEEP WORKING.
I'M AN ACT OF A WORKING ACTOR. BUT THE MINUTE I WASN'T WORKING,
"I'LL NEVER WORK AGAIN. THE.
THAT WAS THE FEELING. THAT WAS THE ANXIETY.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T HAVE THAT FEELING.
I MEAN, I JUST DIDN'T. ( LAUGHTER ).
THE FEELING YOU DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS.
>> I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FEELINGS. >> Stephen: YOU'RE DEAD
INSIDE. >> I'M DEAD INSIDE.
I WALKED THROUGH IT ALL. NO, YOU ALWAYS ARE LOOKING FOR
THE NEXT THING, HOPING IT'S-- THE EXCITEMENT OF SOMETHING NEW
COMING ALONG. NOT LIKE YOU HAD A JOB AND THEN
ALL OF A SUDDEN "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NEXT?
I ALWAYS FELT VERY OPTIMISTIC. I DON'T KNOW WHY.
I JUST DID. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK, BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, I WILL ASK ROBERT De
NIRO ABOUT A REUNION OF THE CAST AND DIRECTOR OF "HEAT" AT THE
TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL. STICK AROUND.
( APPLAUSE ). WE'RE BACK WITH MR. ROBERT De
NIRO. THE TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL STARTS
TOMORROW. CONGRATULATIONS, 21st
SEASON. YOU FOUNDED IT IN 2002.
DID YOU HAVE ANY SENSE THAT IT WOULD BECOME WHAT IT IS, A MAJOR
FILM FESTIVAL? >> NO, WE JUST DID IT THAT YEAR.
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS GOING TO GO AFTER THAT, AND
SLOWLY IT -- >> Stephen: THIS IS IN THE
SHADOW OF 9/11, WHEN NOBODY IS GOING DOWNTOWN.
>> WELL, THAT WAS THE IDEA, TO REVITALIZE DOWNTOWN, AND THAT
WAS THE IDEA. AND THEN EACH YEAR, IT WOULD--
WE'D GET IT GOING AGAIN, AND PEOPLE WANTED TO COME.
>> Stephen: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THIS YEAR?
>> WE'RE HAVING A "HEAT" REUNION TOWARD THE END OF THE FESTIVAL.
>> Stephen: THIS I KNEW. YOU, MICHAEL MANN, AL PACINO.
THERE'S THE FAMOUS SCENE RIGHT THERE.
( APPLAUSE ) >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: YEAH. >> WE'RE-- I'M INTRODUCING AL
PACINO FOR "GOD FATHER." THAT'S THE DAY BEFORE, I THINK.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT MAKING "HEAT"?
DO YOU MIND IF I ASK. THIS IS A CLASSIC.
PEOPLE LOVE THIS MOVIE. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT
MAKING THIS? >> WELL, IT WAS HARD WORK.
A LOT OF WORK. MICHAEL MANN IS A GUY WHO REALLY
IS A STICKLER FOR DETAIL AND CERTAIN THINGS.
AND HE WOULD HAVE YOU DO THINGS MORE AND MORE THAN, SAY, THE
NORMAL OR TYPICAL SITUATION. BUT YOU KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS
SPECIAL ABOUT WHY HE WAS DOINGp. IT CREATED A CERTAIN FEELING
THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING.
>> Stephen: HOW MANY TAKES ARE WE TALKING?
>> 125. NO, I'M KIDDING
( LAUGHTER ). KUBRICK WOULD DO THAT.
>> THAT, I HEARD. A NORMAL AMOUNT OF TAKES, BUT
CERTAIN THINGS JUST VERY CAREFUL ABOUT HOW TO-- IT WAS ALL GOOD.
IT WAS ALL AS IT SHOULD BE. >> Stephen: WHAT COUNT A
DIRECTOR TO BE GIVING YOU AS AN ACTOR?
SOME PEOPLE SAY JUST LET ME DO MY THING.
>> WELL, THEY SHOULD-- THEY GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT.
THEY'VE HIRED YOU, FIRST OF ALL, SO ALREADY, THEY KNOW WHAT YOU
CAN BASICALLY GIVE THEM. AND THEN, YOU-- THEY LET YOU DO
WHAT YOU DO. AND THEN THEY GUIDE YOU.
IF YOU'RE A LITTLE OVER HERE, THEY PULL YOU OVER, OR THEY LET
YOU GO OVER THERE AND THEY'LL JUST CUT IT OUT IN THE EDITING.
THAT'S OKAY. SOMETIMES YOU SAY TO A DIRECTOR,
"WELL, LOOK, I'LL DO IT THE WAY YOU WANT, AND LET ME JUST TRY
THIS OR THAT." OR NOT SAY, "THE WAY YOU WANT."
MOST DIRECTORS I WORK WITH ARE REALLY GOOD.
THEY DON'T EVEN DO THAT. YOU DO IT A FEW WAYS AND THEN
THEY DECIDE. I SAY, "YOU SEE WHAT REALLY
WORKS ONCE YOU'RE IN THE EDITING."
IT'S THAT SIMPLE. >> Stephen: IS THERE A COSTAR
THAT YOU HAVE MOST ENJOYED WORKING WITH?
>> I'LL TELL YOU WHO I ENJOYED WORKING WITH A LOT-- THERE ARE
MANY, OF COURSE-- BUT I ENJOYED WORKING WITH MICHELLE PHIFFER A
LOT, NOT THEY ENJOYED WORKING A LOT WITH HER.
I ONLY WORKED DEVICE WITH HER. BUT I ENJOYED IT.
SHE WAS TERRIFIC. >> Stephen: LET ME ASK YOU
ABOUT RAY LIOTTA. YOU GUYS FROM THE CLASSIC
"GOODFELLAS." IS IT TRUE YOU KIND OF PITCHED
FOR HIM TO PLAY HENRY HILL THERE, THAT YOU KIND OF HAD TO--
NOT TALK SCORSESE INTO IT, BUT YOU WERE A REAL BOOSTER FOR HIM
FOR THAT PART. >> I TOLD MARTY I SAW HIM IN THE
JONATHAN DEMIFILM. >> Stephen: "SOMETHING WILD."
>> I TOLD HIM THIS GUY YOU SHOULD LOOK AT.
HOW MUCH INFLUENCE, I DON'T KNOW, BUT THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
>> Stephen: WHAT MADEY YOU FEEL HE COULD PLAY THAT?
>> HE HAD A GREAT QUALITY, IF YOU WILL.
AND HE WAS RIGHT FOR THE PART, IF YOU WANTED TO CAST IT THAT
WAY. MARTY HAD SEEN PEOPLE-- I DON'T
KNOW WHO, BUT I KNOW HE WENT THROUGH EVERYBODY.
AND CHOSE RAY. SO THAT WAS GREAT.
>> Stephen: IT WAS A GOOD CHOICE.
>> YEAH. >> Stephen: IT WAS A GOOD
CHOICE. BEFORE-- LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE
IN 2019, IN PERSON, I MEANT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING.
AND I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO. I JUST-- IT ESCAPED MY MIND.
BUT ONE OF MY WRITERS, CAROLINE LAZAR, ALWAYS PUTS TOGETHER WHAT
SHE CALLS, "TODAY'S HUNK." AND YOU'VE WON EVERY AWARD THAT
THERE IS, TWO-TIME OSCAR WINNER. BUT YOU HAVE NEVER WON "TODAY'S
HUNK." AND I JUST WANT TO PRESENT THIS
TO YOU RIGHT NOW. HERE IT IS.
IT'S "TODAY'S HUNK." ROBERT De NIRO.
"YOU TALKIN' TO ME. ONLY IN MY DREAMS.
CONGRATS. >> OH, GEEZ.
>> Stephen: THERE YOU GO. I JUST WANTED YOU TO HAVE THAT.
I WANTED YOU TO HAVE THAT. YOU CAN PUT THAT UP ON...
YOU CAN PUT THAT UP ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR SOMETHING.
YEAH. ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY?
>> NO, I'M HONORED. ( LAUGHTER )
TO BE HUNKY. >> YEAH, I-- I NEVER THOUGHT OF
MYSELF THIS WAY, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'LL TAKE IT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: HOLD ON A SECOND.
HOLD ON. AND MAYBE WE'LL EDIT THIS OUT
LATER, BUT HAVE YOU NEVER THOUGHT OF YOURSELF AS A SEX
SYMBOL? WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. >> NO.
>> Stephen: YOU NEVER THOUGHT OF YOURSELF AS SEXY?
>> NOT IN-- NO. ( LAUGHTER )
APPLAUSE. IS ROBERT De NIRO SEXY?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HOLD ON.
AM I SEXY? ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YOURS WAS DEFINITELY LOUDER THAN MINE!
HOW OLD ARE YOU? >> HOW OLD AM I?
>> Stephen: YEAH >> 78.
( APPLAUSE ) ONLY...
THAT ONLY GIVES ME 20 YEARS TO GET SEXIER.
>> LISTEN. >> Stephen: BOB, IT'S GOOD TO
SEE YOU. >> GOOD SEEING YOU.
ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> Stephen: TICKETS TO THE
TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL ARE AVAILABLE AT tribecafilm.com.
IT'S ROBERT DE NIRO, EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ROSIE

SHOW," ROSIE PEREZ! ♪ ♪ ♪
( APPLAUSE ) THIS IS-- THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO INTERVIEW YOU.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. BUT IT'S NOT YOUR FIRST TIME IN
THE ED SULLIVAN. YOU WERE A QUEST WITH DAVE ALL
THE TIME, RIGHT? >> A LOT.
>> Stephen: HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU THINK YOU WERE ON WITH DAVE?
>> EIGHT? >> Stephen: I'M NOT GONNA I'M
NOT GONNA-- IT'S NOT A CONTEST, BUT I WAS ON 10 TIMES.
>> YOU WERE ON 10 TIMES. >> Stephen: 10 TIMES.
AND I I LOVED BEING ON HERE. IT WAS SUCH AN HONOR TO BE ON
HERE WITH DAVE. I DIDN'T KNOW HIM OFF CAMERA.
WE MET A FEW TIMES AND SAT AND TALKED SOCIALLY, ESPECIALLY
AFTER I GOT THIS GIG. DO YOU KNOW HIM?
DO YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM OFF
CAMERA? >> YES AND NO.
BECAUSE HE'S WEIRD, YOU KNOW ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: I DON'T-- I DON'T THINK YOU'RE WEIRD AT ALL, DAVE.
( LAUGHTER ) HE'S SOCIALLY AWKWARD, BUT SO AM
I. HONESTLY I AM.
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH. >> YEAH, YEAH, THIS IS A FACADE
THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. >> Stephen: THAT'S WHAT ACTORS
DO. >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THEY GET PAID TO. >> ONE TIME I WAS FLYING BACK
FROM LOS ANGELES, RIGHT. I'M IN FIRST CLASS.
THERE'S A GUY I KNEW, AND HE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT.
AND I GO, "HEY, HOW YOU DOING?" HE GOES, "GOOD, GOOD, I'M
CHILLIN'." I WAS LIKE, ALL RIGHT."
DAVE COMES ON, RIGHT. AND HE'S STANDING THERE AND HE
STARTS TO KIND OF, LIKE, SHAKE A LITTLE BIT.
AND I'M LIKE, "DAVE, IT'S ME, ROSE.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT." HE SAID, "SOMEBODY'S SITTING IN
MY SEAT." I SAID, "TELL HIM TO MOVE."
HE SAID, "I CAN'T DO THAT." I SAID, "I GOT YOU."
GET OUT OF SEAT." AND THE GUY SAYS, "DAVE, I'M
SORRY, I'M SORRY." AND DAVE SITS DOWN.
AND HE GOES, "THAT WAS VERY NIEFS YOU."
AND I SAID, "ABSOLUTELY." HE SAID, "WHY DON'T YOU COME
OVER MY HOUSE." I SAID, "GO OVER YOUR HOUSE."
"YEAH, AND HAVE DINNER WITH ME AND THE FOLKS."
SO HE WAS NIGHT. I STOOD HIM UP, BUT...
>> Stephen: WE JUST HAD ROBERT De NIRO OUT HERE.
>> YEAH. >>
>> Stephen: AND YOU AND BOB ARE ICONIC NEW YORKERS.
EVERYBODY ASSOCIATES YOU WITH THIS CITY.
DO YOU GUYS-- HAVE YOU GUYS WORKED TOGETHER?
>> WE'VE NEVER WORKED TOGETHER. ISN'T THAT SO SAD?
>> Stephen: WOW. >> I MEAN, SHOULDN'T THERE BE A
MOVIE WITH US TOGETHER IN IT? I MEAN, COME ON.
( APPLAUSE ). TOGETHER.
I LOVE BOB. HE'S AMAZING.
>> Stephen: SO HAVE YOU MET BEFORE?
>> YEAH, YEAH. WE'VE MET BEFORE.
FUNNY THING IS THAT I KNEW HIS DAUGHTER, DRENNA, BEFORE I KNEW
HIM. AND DRENNA I KNEW ON THE SCENE,
YOU KNOW, SHE WAS AN ACTRESS, THE "IT" GIRL, THE MODEL, THE
D.J. SHE WAS JUST LIKE THIS
RENAISSANCE WOMAN, RIGHT. AND WE CLICKED.
BUT ALL I KNEW HER WAS AS DRENNA.
AND ONE DAY SHE'S DJINGAP THIS MAN'S BEAUTIFUL HOUSE.
"COME ON BY, MY DAD WILL BE THERE."
I WAS LIKE, "THAT'S RANDOM. YOU'RE GOING TO INVITE YOUR
FATHER, ALL RIGHT." SO I GET TO THE PARTY EARLY AND
BOB IS PLAYING POOL. THERE WAS A POOL TABLE THERE.
AND I WAS LIKE OH, BLEEP! IT'S ROBERT De NIRO.
AND HE GOES, "OH, ( BLEEP ), IT'S ROSIE PEREZ."
AND I GO ( BLEEP ). AND HE COMES OVER AND HE SHAKES
MY HAND. AND THEN DRENNA COMES BEHIND AND
GOES, "DAD, ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS AGAIN?"
AND I WENT, "GET THE ( BLEEP ) OUT OF HERE!"
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I'M CURSING ON YOUR SHOW.
WHY AM I CURSING ON YOUR SHOW? IS THERE IT'S PERFECTLY FINE.
>> ARE YOU GOING TO BLEEP IT. >> Stephen: NO, WE DON'T DO IT
ANYMORE. WE HAVE TO.
THAT PART IS STAYING THE SAME. I'M JUST JOSHING YOU.
I'M GIVING YOU THE BUSINESS. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
YOU HAVE A NEW SERIES CALLED "NOW & THEN."
AND THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT, WELL, YOU PLAY
YOURSELF 20 YEARS APART, WHICH I'LL GET TO IN A MOMENT.
BUT TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
>> IT'S ABOUT A GROUP OF COLLEGE KIDS, FIVE COLLEGE KIDS, WHO ON
THEIR NIGHT OF GRADUATION, THEY HAVE A PARTY ON A BEACH.
AND IT GETS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF CONTROL, AND ONE OF THEM ENDS UP
DEAD. THEY TRIED TO COVER IT UP.
AND MET MIDST OF THEM COVERING IT UP, ANOTHER PERSON ENDS UP
DEAD, AND I PLAY THE ROOKY DETECTIVE.
20 YEARS LATER, ANOTHER BODY AMONGST THOSE FRIENDS SHOWS UP.
AND NOW 20 YEARS LATER, I AM A SEASONED SERGEANT DETECTIVE, AND
I AM GOING TO GET THEM. >> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP
RIGHT HERE. ( APPLAUSE )
THIS-- BECAUSE YOU PLAY YOURSELF 20 YEARS AGO, AND YOU PLAY
YOURSELF NOW. IS THAT HARD?
DID YOU HAVE TO, LIKE-- >> YES!
>> Stephen: BUT YOU LOOK LIKE ROSIE PEREZ FROM 20 YEARS AGO.
>> WHO DOES. >> Stephen: YOU DO.
>> ME! OH, GET OUT OF TOWN!
I DO NOT! >> Stephen: YOU REALLY DO.
>> OH! >> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU DO TO
KINCHATE? WHAT DID YOU DO TO BE YOUNG YOU
AND PRESENT-- NOT EVEN PRESENT JUST 20 YEARS OLDER THAN THAT
PERSON? >> A LOT OF MAKEUP.
>> Stephen: WHICH WAY THE YOUNG OR THE OLD?
>> BOTH, BOTH. FOR THE YOUNGER, THERE WAS TONS
OF MAKEUP ON ME. AND I HAD TO WEAR, LIKE, TWO
SPANX. UN...
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: EXACTLY.
>> FOR THE OLDER LOOK, I TOLD THE PRODUCER, "HOW WOULD YOU
FEEL IF I JUST WENT WITHOUT MAKEUP?
EVEN BETTER IF I HAVE, LIKE, SKIN DISCOLORATION, HEIGHTEN
THAT, PUT DARK CIRCLES AND REALLY LOOK REAL LIKE THAT.
AND HE GOES, "I LOVE IT." I SAID, "GREAT, THIS IS AMAZING.
I ALWAYS WANTED A CHALLENGE LIKE THIS."
DAY COMES. THEY HAD THE OLD LADY MAKEUP ON.
I LOOK AT THE CAMERA, AND I WENT, "OH, MY GOD!
I LOOK HORRIBLE." AND I STARTED CRYING.
AND I WAS LIKE, "I LOOK SO BUSTED."
AND HE GOES, "OH, MY GOD. ARE YOU OKAY?
DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT?" I GO, "NO, IT LOOKS GREAT.
BUT I LOOK BUSTED." IT WAS GREAT FOR THE CHARACTER.
IT WAS REALLY GREAT. THIS THING HAS BEEN ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN MY CAREER SINCE "FEARLESS," AND I'M REALLY
PROUD OF THE WORK EVERYONE HAS DONE, ITS ENTIRE CAST ON THE
SHOW. >> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP.
CAN YOU TELL US AGO WHEN HAPPENING?
THIS IS YOUNG YOU. >> THIS IS YOUNG ME.
WE'RE COMING OUT OF ONE OF THE KID'S, SUSPECTS, DORMITORIES AT
THEIR UNIVERSITY. AND I'M TRYING TO CONVINCE MY
OLDER PARTNER THAT THEY'RE ALL LYING.
>> IT'S YOUR FIRST CASE. >> IT'S NOT MY FIRST CASE.
>> IN HOMICIDE IT IS. YOU WANT TO GET IT RIGHT, OKAY.
IT'S GOOD TO BE THOROUGH. BUT, COME ON, THERE'S SUCH A
THING AS TACT. >> YES.
I'M VERY WELL AWARE OF THAT, THANK YOU.
I COULD USE A TAD LESS OF A CONDESCENDING TONE, PLEASE.
I'M JUST SAYING, IT'S SURPRISING THAT THEY ALL REMEMBERED THE
EXACT TIME WHEN ALEJANDRO LEFT. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THEY ALL
AGREED UPON THE SAME STORY, IS ALL I'M SAYING.
WHAT? ( APPLAUSE )
BELIEVABLE. >> OH, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: ROSIE, IT WAS LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU. >> Stephen: NEW EPISODES OF "NOW
& THEN" ARE AVAILABLE FRIDAYS ON APPLETV+.
ROSIE PEREZ, EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> Stephen: THAT'S IT FOR "THE LATE SHOW."
TUNE IN TOMORROW WHEN MY GUESTS WILL BE CONGRESSMAN ADAM SCHIFF
AND CHIWETEL EJIOFOR. JAMES CORDEN IS NEXT.
GOOD NIGHT!
