>> Announcer: IT'S "THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT."
TONIGHT: PLUS, STEPHEN WELCOMES:
JAMES TAYLOR. AND COLMAN DOMINGO
FEATURING JON BATISTE AND STAY HUMAN.
AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN NEW YORK
CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
>> Stephen: SHAKE IT UP, BABY. SHAKE IT UP.
>> Stephen: HELLO, FRIENDS! HEY, EVERYBODY!
LOUIS, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS, LOUIS?
THAT'S A THURSDAY CROWD. YOU CAN'T FAKE THAT.
( APPLAUSE ) WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT. FRAWRL, HAPPY, HAPPY--
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THE MIDTERMS ARE NOT UNTIL THE
FALL, BUT RECENTLY WE'VE SEEN SOME MAJOR PRIMARIES THAT WILL
BE DETERMINING WHO WILL BE GOING HEAD TO HEAD ON NOVEMBER 8.
CASE IN POINT: PACK YOUR YUENGLINGS, YOUR CHEESESTEAKS,
AND WHATEVER GRITTY'S MADE OF, BECAUSE WE'RE HEADING DOWN TO
THE KEYSTONE STATE, WHERE THE GOVERNOR'S RACE IS HEATING UP
BETWEEN PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEY GENERAL JOSH SHAPIRO--
SEEN HERE TRAPPED IN A GRAPE-FLAVORED ESCAPE ROOM--
( LAUGHTER ) STATE SENATOR AND MEATBALL
ASKING, "HEY, YOU GONNA FINISH THAT MEATBALL?"
DOUG MASTRIANO. JOSH SHAPIRO IS LEADING THE
POLLS, BUT MASTRIANO IS MAKING HEADLINES, MOSTLY BECAUSE--
WITHOUT GETTING TOO TECHNICAL-- HE IS BANANA-BALLS.
( LAUGHTER ) WELL, FOR ONE THING, HE
CHARTERED BUSES TO THE "STOP THE STEAL" RALLY OF JANUARY 6, AND
WAS PART OF THE MOB THAT MARCHED ON DOWN TO THE CAPITOL.
SO, NO SURPRISE, IF HE WINS ( AUDIENCE BOOING )
>> YOU WERE LATE WITH YOUR BOOING.
YOU HAVE TO GET FASTER WITH THAT NEXT TIME.
IF HE WINS, HE'S PLEDGED TO PURGE PENNSYLVANIA'S ELECTION
ROLLS, FORCING EVERYONE IN THE STATE TO HAVE TO REREGISTER TO
VOTE. IT EXPLAINS--
( AUDIENCE BOOING ) THAT ONE WAS TOO EARLY, BUT
THANK YOU. IT EXPLAINS HIS YARD SIGNS:
"VOTE MASTRIANO... WHILE YOU STILL CAN."
IN RECENT WEEKS, MASTRIANO HAS COME UNDER FIRE FOR HIS
ASSOCIATION WITH THE FAR-RIGHT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM "GAB," A
SAFE HAVEN FOR WHITE SUPREMACISTS, ANTISEMITES, AND
OTHER EXTREMISTS. SO, IT'S LIKE TWITTER EXCEPT...
YEAH, IT'S TWITTER. BASICALLY IT'S TWITTER.
MASTRIANO HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY THE FOUNDER OF "GAB," CHRISTIAN
NATIONALIST AND GROOMSMAN WHO KEEPS INVITING YOU TO HIS SUITE
AT THE LA QUINTA, ANDREW TORBA. TORBA, WHO IS OPENLY, VIRULENTLY
ANTI-SEMITIC, SAYS HE SUPPORTS MASTRIANO BECAUSE, "DOUG IS AN
OUTSPOKEN CHRISTIAN. WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A
COALITION OF CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS, AND WE ARE GOING
TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK FOR THE GLORY OF GOD."
JESUS CHRIST... ( LAUGHTER )
AGAINST THIS GUY. THE GOVERNOR'S RACE IS NOT THE
ONLY ONE TO WATCH IN PENNSYLVANIA.
THERE'S ALSO A HEATED SENATE MATCH-UP BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JOHN FETTERMAN-- SEEN HERE AFTER THE
PHOTOGRAPHER SAID, "HEY, LET'S DO A SILLY ONE!"-- AND QUACK TV
DOCTOR ( AUDIENCE BOOING )
AND STEPDAD DRACULA, MEHMET OZ.
POLLS SHOW FETTERMAN LEADING BY DOUBLE DIGITS, WHICH MIGHT B
( APPLAUSE ) PENNSYLVANIANS WANT TO HAVE A
SENATOR WHO IS ACTUALLY FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
DR. OZ LIVED AND VOTED IN NEW JERSEY AS RECENTLY AS THE 2020
ELECTION. SO FETTERMAN HAS GONE FULL
TROLL ON OZ'S GARDEN STATE ASS, EVEN STARTING A PETITION TO ADD
DR. OZ TO THE NEW JERSEY HALL OF FAME.
( LAUGHTER ) THAT IS LOVELY.
THAT IS REALLY NICE. IF INDUCTED, HE WOULD JOIN SUCH
LUMINARIES AS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, TOMMY FROM THE SONG "LIVIN' ON A
PRAYER," AND THE WORD "GABAGOOL."
( LAUGHTER ) HELP OF OTHER FAMOUS NEW
JERSEYANS TO ATTACK DR. OZ'S FAKE PENNSYLVANIA CREDENTIALS.
JUST LOOK AT THIS VIDEO HE RECENTLY PUT OUT:
>> YO, DR. OZ. STEVIE V.Z. HERE.
WHADDYA DOING IN PENNSYLVANIA? EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU LIVE IN NEW
JERSEY, AND YOU'RE JUST USING
>> Stephen: COUNTERPOINT: I DO! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
SPEAKING OF ABSOLUTE FRAUDS, YOU CAN'T TRUST EVERYTHING YOU SEE
ON THE INTERNET. TRUST ME, I READ IT ON THE
INTERNET. READ IT ON THE INTERNET.
AND WHEN AN INTERNET STORY IS WRONG, MEDIA OUTLETS OFTEN ISSUE
FACT CHECKS. BUT THE FACT CHECKS NEVER GET
THE PUBLICITY THAT THE ORIGINAL CRAZY STORY DID.
SO WE'RE GOING TO CHECK IN ON THE WORLD OF FACT CHECKS IN MY
LONG-RUNNING FACT-CHECK SEGMENT: "FACT-CHECK CHECK"!
>> HOW MANY FACTS WOULD A FACT-CHECK CHECK IF A
FACT-CHECK COULD CHECK FACTS? ( LAUGHTER )
GETTING FACT CHECKED THAT THIS IS NOT A LONG-RUNNING SEGMENT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE IT.
I'M SORRY. SECOND: WE WERE ALL UPSET WHEN
WE LEARNED ONE OF OUR FAVORITE MEXICAN-THEMED DESSERTS WAS
BEING DISCONTINUED LAST WEEK, BUT SOME PEOPLE ONLINE WERE EVEN
MORE UPSETTER WHEN A HEADLINE STARTED CIRCULATING CLAIMING
"KLONDIKE'S CHOCO TACOS CANCELLED BY WOKE MOB AFTER
ALMOST 40 YEARS," BLAMING "RECENT ALLEGATIONS OF 'CULTURAL
APPROPRIATION.'" PLEASE.
IF THE "WOKE MOB" HAD CANCELLED THE CHOCO TACO, I'M PRETTY SURE
THE CHOCO TACO WOULD HAVE ITS OWN STAND-UP SPECIAL ON NETFLIX.
SOCIAL MEDIA USERS STARTED SHARING THAT FAKE HEADLINE,
FORCING KLONDIKE TO EXPLAIN YET AGAIN THAT "WE HAVE
EXPERIENCED AN UNPRECEDENTED SPIKE IN DEMAND ACROSS OUR
PORTFOLIO AND HAVE HAD TO MAKE VERY TOUGH DECISIONS TO ENSURE
AVAILABILITY OF OUR FULL PORTFOLIO NATIONWIDE."
SEE, IT WASN'T WOKENESS, JUST NORMAL BUSINESS REASONS.
THEY HAD SO MUCH DEMAND FOR THEIR PRODUCT LINE THAT TO KEEP
UP, THEY HAD TO ELIMINATE THE CHOCO TACO AND ALL OF ITS
POPULAR TOPPINGS, LIKE TABLE-SIDE CHOCO-MOLE.
SO THE CHOCO TACO IS GONE AND IT'S NEVER COMING BACK.
AND I'M BEING FACT CHECKED: KLONDIKE IS GONNA BRING BACK THE
CHOCO TACO. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
A USELESS WASTE OF TIME. NEXT UP ON THE CHECK WAGON, LAST
WEEK SEVERAL NEWS SITES PUBLISHED ARTICLES CLAIMING THAT
A NASA SCIENTIST HAD RECENTLY ISSUED A WARNING TO ASTRONAUTS
AGAINST MASTURBATING IN SPACE. BECAUSE IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN
HEAR YOU SCREAM, "SHUT THE DOOR!"
( LAUGHTER ) NASA BANNED SPACE-SPANKING
BECAUSE IT ALLEGEDLY COULD IMPREGNATE MULTIPLE WOMEN.
( LAUGHTER ) MASTURBATION DOESN'T LEAD TO
IMPREGNATING WOMEN IN SPACE. CAPTAIN KIRK DOES.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT IT TURNS OUT IT WAS A FAKE
HEADLINE, AND THERE IS NO BAN ON SPACE SELF-EXPLORATION.
( LAUGHTER ) >> YOU MAY FIRE WHEN READY.
( LAUGHTER ) SHOCKING NEWS OUT OF
HOLLYWOOD. WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE DC
COMICS FILM "BATGIRL" WILL BE COMPLETELY SHELVED BY WARNER
BROTHERS, WHICH MEANS THEY WILL NOT BE RELEASING THE MOVIE ON
ANY PLATFORM. THAT IS TERRIBLE NEWS FOR GOTHAM
CITY. WITHOUT BATGIRL, WHO'S GONNA
FIGHT... I WANNA SAY...
THE PENGUINETTE? LADY JOKE.
YOU ALMOST NEVER SEE A MOVIE STUDIO BAIL ON A PROJECT THIS
COMPLETELY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY SPENT AN
ESTIMATED $90 MILLION, WHICH THEY ARE NOW TAKING AS A TAX
WRITE-OFF. EXPLAINS WARNER BROTHERS' NEXT
MOVIE: "THE DEDUCTIBLE HULK."
( LAUGHTER ) WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT. MY GUESTS ARE JAMES TAYLOR AND
ACTOR COLMAN DOMINGO. BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, CNN'S IN
TROUBLE, AND I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE IT.
GOOD LORD. FOLKS, I JUST-- JAMES, ONCE
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. AND HOW ABOUT-- HOW ABOUT-- HOW
ABOUT THIS BAND, JAMES? ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YOU SHOULD TAKE THESE GUYS ON THE ROAD IF I EVER QUIT THIS JOB
BECAUSE I REALLY NEED THESE GUYS.
I WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY OUT THERE, GO OUT THERE AND CHECK
OUT JAMES' ALBUM RIGHT THERE. IT'S CALLED "JAMES TAYLOR,
AMERICAN STANDARD." >> Louis: IT'S REALLY GOOD.
>> Stephen: QUALITY MUSIC, QULT MAN.
AND A LITTLE BIT LATER I'LL BE INTERVIEWING MR. JAMES TAYLOR,
ALL RIGHT? I'M GOING TO BRING THE HEAT.
YOU BETTER BE READY. >> I'LL GET READY.
>> Stephen: FREE RIDE'S OVER, JAMES TAYLOR.
AND ALSO FROM "EUPHORIA," ACTOR COLMAN DOMINGO IS HERE.
>> Louis: THAT'S RIGHT. ( APPLAUSE )
ANYBODY GOT ANY PLANS, ANY PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND?
ANYBODY DOING ANYTHING FUN? YOU GOING TO SLEEP.
>> Louis: YES. >> Stephen: LOUIS, YOU GOT
ANYTHING? >> Louis: I'M GOING TO COSINE
ON THAT. SLEEP.
>> Stephen: I HAVE BIG PLANS, THANKS FOR ASKING.
I'M ACTUALLY LEAVING HERE AND IMMEDIATELY GOING TO THE AIRPORT
AND I'M GOING TO GO TO GREENLAND.
>> OH, WOW. >> Stephen: I'M GOING TO
GREENLAND. I NEVER HEARD ANYBODY THAT
EXCITED TO HEAR THE WORD "GREENLAND."
I'M GOING TO GO DO A USO SHOW AT THE NORTHERN-MOST U.S. MILITARY
BASE IN THE WORLD. >> Louis: AMAZING, AMAZING.
THAT'S AWESOME. >> Stephen: IF YOU WANT ME TO
BRING ANYTHING BACK, THEY HAVE ICE AND GRAVEL.
( LAUGHTER ) WAIT, I'M BEING TOLD IN MY DEAF
EAR THAT WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS.
JIM, CAN WE PLAY THE BREAKING NEWS GRAPHIC THAT WE STOLE FROM
CNN? THANK YOU, JAMES.
THAT INAPPROPRIATE GRAPHIC HAS NEVER BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE,
BECAUSE OUR BREAKING NEWS IS ABOUT CNN.
YOU MAY REMEMBER, THAT NEWS NETWORK IS NOW RUN BY THE GUY
WHO USED TO RUN THIS SHOW, C.E.O. AND MEGA CHURCH PASTOR
WHO SAYS JESUS WANTS HIM TO HAVE ANOTHER JET, CHRIS LICHT.
WELL, WE HAVE A HOT SCOOP FROM "RADAR ONLINE" -- THE WEB'S
NUMBER-ONE SITE FOR TV INDUSTRY NEWS AND HOT AIR TRAFFIC
CONTROLLER GOSSIP. "RADAR" IS REPORTING CHRIS LICHT
IS LOOKING TO ME, STEPHEN COLBERT, FOR HELP IN RESCUING
THE NETWORK. DON'T WORRY, CHRIS.
I GOT THIS, CHRIS! I KNOW CNN+ WASN'T A HIT, BUT
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED "CNN MINUS" ( LAUGHTER )
BUDDY OVER HERE DOESN'T WANT JUST MY BRILLIANT CONTENT IDEA.
HE WANTS ME TO MOVE TO CNN. AS "RADAR" PUT IT-- AND THIS IS
AN EXACT QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE-- "CHRIS REALIZES NOT
ONLY HE COULD PERSUADE COLBERT TO LEAVE THE PLUM GIG OF
'THE LATE SHOW.'" AND STEPHEN REALIZES NOT ONLY HE
COULD READ THAT SENTENCE OF MAKE SENSE, PROVING THAT "RADAR
ONLINE" HAS NOT ONLY ZERO PROOFREADERS BUT ALSO ANY NONE.
AND THIS REPORTING LOOKS AS ROCK-SOLID AS ANDERSON COOPER'S
ABS, BECAUSE TWO SOURCES HAVE CONFIRMED IT TO "RADAR."
NO IDEA WHO THESE SOURCES MIGHT BE, BUT THEY MUST BE ON VERY
DEEP BACKGROUND, BECAUSE CHRIS RECRUITING ME IS SUCH A SECRET,
I HADN'T EVEN HEARD ABOUT IT BEFORE I SAW THIS ARTICLE!
AND, LOOK, I GET IT, Y'ALL. I CAN SEE WHY CNN WOULD THINK
OF ME. I'M THE FIRST PERSON I THINK OF
MOST DAYS. IMAGINE THE SORT OF RATINGS
YOU'D GET AT CNN IF YOU LET ME TAKE OVER STANLEY TUCCI'S SHOW.
( LAUGHTER ) ITALY," AND HE STILL HASN'T
FOUND IT? ( LAUGHTER )
AND I'LL FIND IT FOR YOU IN TWO DAYS, TOPS.
EVEN BETTER, GIVE ME ANDERSON COOPER'S TIME SLOT,
BUT KEEP HIM THERE, TOO. I'M A HUGE FAN.
I'LL BRING ANDY COHEN AND A BOTTLE OF TEQUILA-- EVERY NIGHT
WILL BE NEW YEAR'S EVE! ( APPLAUSE )
SOUND GOOD TO YOU, ANDERSON? NOW, FOR SOME REASON, I HAVEN'T
ACTUALLY HEARD FROM MY OLD PAL CHRIS ABOUT THIS EXCITING NEW
OFFER, BUT HE'S GOT A LOT ON HIS PLATE.
ACCORDING TO THE RUMORMONGERS, "CHRIS'S FIRST PRIORITY WILL BE
FIXING CNN'S MORNING AND PRIME-TIME PROGRAMMING.
THAT IS WHERE THE BIG ADVERTISER MONEY IS."
SO, EASY PEASY. ALL HE'S GOTTA DO IS FIX THE
DAYTIME AND THE NIGHTTIME. GOOD LUCK, CHRIS!
ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T MISS YOUR OLD JOB HITTING THE "APPLAUSE"
SIGN AFTER I SAY THE WORD "MEANWHILE"?
HIT IT, TOM! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH JAMES
TAYLOR. ♪ ♪ ♪
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY,
WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY FIRST
GUEST IS THE SIX-TIME GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING SINGER AND
SONGWRITER AND ROCK AND ROLL HALL-OF-FAMER WHO HAS BEEN
SITTING IN WITH THE BAND ALL WEEK.
PLEASE WELCOME OUR FRIEND AND YOURS, MR. JAMES TAYLOR.
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO. >> Stephen: IT'S ALWAYS NICE
TO HAVE YOU HERE. NOW, JAMES, YOU'VE BEEN SITTING
IN WITH THE BAND ALL WEEK. I HOPE IT'S BEEN A LOVELY
EXPERIENCE FOR YOU. >> FANTASTIC.
IT HAS. >> Stephen: WHAT NIEFTS YOUR
FAVORITE? WHAT NIGHT WAS YOUR FAVORITE?
>> OH, MAN. I CAN'T CHOOSE.
( LAUGHTER )
WERE HERE, YOU WERE ABOUT TO RELEASE THIS "AMERICAN
STANDARD." YOU WON THE GRAMMY FOR IT THIS
YEAR. CONGRATULATIONS.
AND JUST-- ( APPLAUSE )
TOUR, OKAY. >> YUP.
>> Stephen: 12-AMONG TOUR. WHEN YOU DO AN ALBUM AND YOU GO,
"OKAY, THAT'S HOW THAT SONG SHOULD SOUND" AND THEN YOU GO
TAKE IT UP ON THE ON THE ROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HEAR IT
IN FRONT OF AUDIENCES OVER AND OVER AGAIN, DOES THAT CHANGE
YOUR VIEW OF THAT SONG OR HOW IT SHOULD BE PLAYED?
>> YOU KNOW, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TIME.
WITH SONGS THAT ARE STANDARDS LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW THE SONG.
IN MY CASE, YOU'VE PLAYED IT FOR MEANS YEARS.
YOU HAVE THE ARRANGEMENT OF IT. AND YOU GO IN WITH A VERY GOOD
IDEA OF WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT SHOULD SOUND LIKE, AND HOW YOU
WANT TO CHANGE IT AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN.
TYPICALLY, I WRITE MY OWN STUFF. WHEN I GO INTO THE STUDIO AND
PERFORM SOMETHING AND LAY IT DOWN, THAT'S THE FIRST TIME
IT'S-- IT'S SORT OF-- IT'S NEVER PLAYED FOR PEOPLE.
I MEAN, SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL BOOK A GIG AND PLAY THE MATERIAL
THAT'S GOING TO BE ON A NEW ALBUM IN A WAR OR A SMALL CLUB
OR, YOU KNOW, AND TRY TO WORK IT UP.
BECAUSE AFTER YOU'VE PLAYED IT FOR ABOUT-- AND CATO KNOWS THIS.
AFTER YOU'VE PLAYED SOMETHING, ANYBODY-- ANY MUSICIAN DOES--
AFTER YOU PLAY SOMETHING ABOUT 20 TIMES IT SORT OF FINDS ITS
WAY. IT GETS SORT OF SEATED.
AND I OFTEN THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA, BUT I'VE NEVER
REALLY GOTTEN AROUND TO DOING IT.
I NEVER-- SO, YEA. >> Stephen: THE NEXT ONE.
DO THE NEXT ONE THAT WAY. >> IT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION,
AND IT'S A THING, YEAH. >> Stephen: YOU'VE GOT SO MANY
OF YOUR OWN STANDARDS. THE JAMES TAYLOR CLASSICS.
DOES DOES YOUR-- ARE YOU EVER TEMPTED TO REALLY SWITCH UP,
LIKE HOW "FIRE AND RAIN" SOUNDS? >> YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT
THE-- WHAT THE INSPIRATION FOR THAT IS, WHAT THE MOTIVATION IS
TO CHANGE IT AND TO MAKE IT NEW. BUT, ALSO, YOU KNOW, I-- I'M
VERY AWARE THAT AN AUDIENCE WANTS TO-- YOU KNOW, IF THEY
WANT TO HEAR THE SONG, THEY WANT TO HEAR IT AS THEY RECOGNIZE IT.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR SOME VERSION.
( APPLAUSE ). JOINS YOU ON TOUR THIS TIME
AROUND. WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE TO HAVE
YOUR SON THERE WITH YOU? >> IT'S BEEN GREAT.
IT FELT SO EASY AND SO KNOW-- WELL, FAMILIAR, OBVIOUSLY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT-- IT WAS JUST...
I DON'T KNOW. I THINK HE'S GOT A FEEL FOR IT,
YOU KNOW. HE'S GOT-- HE-- YOU KNOW, I'VE
TOURED ACTUALLY WITH THREE OF MY CHILDREN AT VARIOUS POINTS.
AND IT IS A WONDERFUL THING. AND HENRY JUST, IN PARTICULAR,
YOU KNOW, HE SAYS, FOR HIM, HE SAYS HE FEELS ANXIETY.
HE FEELS, YOU KNOW, NERVES BEFOREHAND.
BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT. IT'S-- I THINK HE'S-- I'VE OFTEN
SAID THAT 90% OF SHOW BUSINESS IS HOW YOU LOOK WHEN YOU'RE
NERVOUS, YOU KNOW. >> Stephen: WHAT-- WHAT DO YOU
MEAN? LIKE IF YOU CAN LIKE-- BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO NOT BE NERVOUS, THEN WHAT DOES THAT
LOOK LIKE TO AN AUDIENCE? >> EXACTLY.
WHAT KNOW-- HOW YOU LOOK WHEN YOU'RE NERVOUS, IF YOU LOOK
GOOD, YOU'RE IN GOOD SHAPE. ( LAUGHTER ).
ARE YOU STILL NERVOUS WHEN YOU GO ON STAGE EVER?
>> YEAH. I'M ALWAYS NERVOUS WHEN I GO ON,
MORE AT THE BEGINNING OF A TOUR. ONCE YOU GET INTO A GROOVE, AND
I'M SURE-- MAN, YOUR GROOVE HAS TO LAST FOR YEARS.
>> Stephen: I'M NERVOUS EVERY NIGHT BEFORE I COME OUT, BECAUSE
I KNOW HOW IT SHOULD PLAY UP HERE.
>> RIGHT. >> Stephen: LAUGHTER I'M
GETTING UP HERE IS WAY KNRN-- ( LAUGHTER ).
>> YOU WANT TO BE-- YOU WANT TO BE EITHER IN THE MOMENT OR
SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF IT, YOU KNOW. YOU WANT TO BE THINKING ABOUT
WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO AND NOT THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST
DID. >> Stephen: 100,000%.
100,000%. SO THERE'S A NEW VENUE OPENING
UP AT FENWAY IN BOSTON. IT'S THE M.G.M. MUSIC HALL?
IS THAT WHAT IT IS? >> I THINK SO.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE THE FIRST PERFORMER THERE.
WHAT IS-- ARE YOU-- ARE YOU A RED SOX FAN?
>> I AM. >> Stephen: ARE YOU EXCITED
ABOUT PLAYING NEXT TO THE PARK? >> I AM.
I AM A RED SOX FAN. AND I'VE PLAYED FENWAY A COUPLE
OF TIMES. THAT'S A DELIGHT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU EVER PLAY BALL?
>> PLAY BALL WHEN I WAS A KID. >> Stephen: DID YOU HAVE ANY
DREAMS? >> NO, I WAS-- I PLAYED
ANYTHING, MOSTLY FIRST BASE. >> Stephen: IT'S A GOOD
POSITION. >> BUT I WAS VERY MEDIOCRE LAUGH
EXTREMELY. >> Stephen: I PLAYED LEFT
DUGOUT. WE HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK, BUT
WHEN WE COME BACK I WILL ASK JAMES ABOUT HIS OLD FRIEND JONI
MITCHELL. STICK AROUND.
HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK HERE WITH JAMES TAYLOR JONI MITCHELL
SURPRISED EVERYBODY BY PERFORMING AT THE NEWPORT
FESTIVAL LAST WEEK. HOW DID IT MAKE YOU FEEL TO
SEE-- I KNOW YOU GUYS GO WAY BACK, WHEN YOU WERE ON THE SHOW
A COUPLE OF TIMES AGO, YOU WERE TELLING ME ABOUT HOW YOU WROTE
"YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES" FOR HER WHILE SHE WAS ASLEEP IN THE
BACK SEAT OF THE CAR AS YOU DROVE UP ON THE PACIFIC COAST
HIGHWAY. WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR YOU TO SEE
HER BACK ON STAGE AGAIN? >> IT WAS GREAT.
PARTICULARLY, FOR JONI, SHE HAD A REAL SORT OF DISASTROUS EVENT
THAT HAPPENED TO HER, WHAT, FIVE YEARS AGO NOW, SEVEN YEARS AGO?
YOU KNOW, SHE HAD A SERIOUS STROKE.
AND SHE'S COME BACK FROM IT SO AMAZINGLY, YOU KNOW.
THAT WAS-- I MEAN, THAT SHE'S STILL HERE AT ALL IS REMARKABLE.
BUT THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST CAN'T-- YOU CAN'T STOP HER.
YOU CAN'T... SHE'S JUST...
AND THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, BRANDY CARLISLE REALLY IS INSTRUMENTAL
IN HER GETTING, YOU KNOW, IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE AGAIN.
REALLY HAS-- HATS OFF TO BRANDI. .>> Stephen: HAVE YOU SEEN
BRANDI'S PERFORMANCE OF "BLUE?" >> I HAVEN'T.
>> Stephen: SHE DID THE ENTIRE ALBUM OF "BLUE."
>> SO DID I. >> Stephen: YOU DID "BLUE,
TOO? >> NO, I PLAYED ON THE ORIGINAL.
>> Stephen: I BELIEVE... WHAT DO YOU-- WAIT, WAIT A SECOND.
WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING ON IN "BLUE?"
STEPHEN STILLS PLAYS ON IT, TOO, RIGHT?
>> YES, HE DOES. >> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU PLAY
ON "BLUE." >> "ALL I REALLY WANT."
>> Stephen: THAT'S YOUR GUITAR.
>> THAT'S MINE. >> THE PICKING STUFF IS ME, AS
ALWAYS. BUT THAT AND "I'M ON A LONELY
ROAD," "ALL I REALLY WANT" I THINK IS THE TITLE OF THE TUNE.
"CALIFORNIA" I PLAYED ON. >> Stephen: WHAT?
>> AND THERE'S A FOURTH ONE. "I COULD DRINK A CASE OF YOU."
>> Stephen: REALLY? OH, WOW.
SHE'S PLAYING THE PIANO ON THAT, AND YOU'RE PLAYING GUITAR.
>> I THINK SHE'S PLAYING DULCIMER ON THAT, TOO.
>> Stephen: HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT YOU PLAYED ON THAT ALBUM?
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW. ( LAUGHTER )
>> I THINK-- I THINK I WAS CREDITED.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE CREDITED? I DON'T READ THE LINER NOTES AS
MUCH AS I SHOULD. I JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.
WE HAVE TO GO HERE IN A MOMENT, BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT, ARE
YOU GOING TO BE CELEBRATING WITH YO YO MA, YOU'RE GOING TO BE
CELEBRATING JOHN WILLIAMS' 90th BIRTHDAY UP AT
TANGLEWOOD. FIRST OF ALL, HOW DID YOU MEET
JOHN WILLIAMS? I UNDERSTAND IT WAS A VERY
SPECIAL DAY FOR YOU. >> IT WAS.
WELL, IT WAS THE FIRST I PLAYED WITH A SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA EVER.
AND THAT'S A REAL-- THAT'S A REAL CHANGE FROM-- FROM THE
WORLD THAT I CAME FROM, WHICH IS BASICALLY SORT OF FOLK MUSIC AND
A LITTLE BIT FROM JAZZ AND BLUES.
BUT-- BUT THE-- YOU KNOW, SO IT'S DAUNTING TO PLAY WITH AN
ORCHESTRA LIKE THAT. BUT I-- BUT THE THING IS, IT'S
SORT OF LIKE I WAS INTRODUCED TO IT AT THE VERY TOP POSSIBLE
LEVEL WITH THE BOSTON SYMPHONY, THE BOSTON POPS ORCHESTRA, WHICH
IS A LOT OF THE SAME PLAYERS, AND JOHN WILLIAMS CONDUCTING
THEM. SO IT WAS REALLY STEPPING OFF
THE LADDER AT THE VERY TOP, YOU KNOW,.
AND THAT MADE IT-- JOHN MADE EVERYTHING SEEM EASY AND NATURAL
AND VERY ACCESSIBLE. BUT-- SO THAT-- YOU KNOW, THAT
ASPECT OF IT WAS AMAZING. I HAD HAD A MANAGER, A SORT OF
BUSINESS MANAGER FOR YEARS, WHO WAS AN OVERSEAR OF THAT
ORCHESTRA AND USED TO COME UP TO TANGLEWOOD EVERY SUMMER AND WAS
VERY INVOLVED IN IT, AND IT WAS HIS THING TO DO TO THE SYMPHONY.
HE WAS TRYING TO GET ME TO DO THE POPS FOR A LONG TIME, AND
FINALLY AFTER THREE SEPARATE TRIES PUSHING ON ME.
I SAID, "OKAY, I'LL DO IT. I'LL DO IT.
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE." A GAME NAMED STANLEY SILVERMAN
WROTE SOME BEAUTIFUL CHARTS FOR ME IS FOR MY SONGS AND
STANDARDS. I TOOK THEM TO THE SYMPHONY, WE
HAD NOT UNLIKE THE KIND OF DAY WE HAD TODAY, AND PARTICULARLY
ON MONDAY WHEN WE STARTED. WHEN WE-- WHEN-- YOU KNOW, WHEN
YOU DO A SOUND CHECK, BASQUELY, YOU DO A REHEARSAL WITH THE
ORCHESTRA. JOHN CHECKING OUT THE CHARTS AND
SEES HOW THEY WORK. AND, YOU KNOW, JOHN IS-- HE'S
SUCH A MASTER. HE CAN TAKE AN ORCHESTRAL CHART,
YOU KNOW, THE CONDUCTOR'S CHART, WHICH HAS ALL OF THE PARTS
WRITTEN ON ON TWO PAGES, AND HE CAN JUST SORT OF LISTEN TO IT AS
HE TURNS THE PAGES. IT'S LIKE "ARE YOU SHOWING ME A
B-FLAS THERE?" HE HEARS IT AS HE LOOKS AT IT.
BUT, ANYWAY, ALSO, THAT SAME DAY, MY SOON-TO-BE WIFE-- IT
WOULD TAKE ANOTHER COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GOT
TOGETHER, BUT MY WIFE KIM WAS WORKING WITH THE SYMPHONY THEN
AND HAD BEEN FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS. AND WHEN SHE CAME TO MY DRESSING
ROOM AND WANTED TO ASK ME A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW
SHE WAS GOING TO INTRODUCE ME, BECAUSE THAT-- IT FELL TO HER TO
DO MY INTRODUCTION. SO, YOU KNOW, I-- I-- I
CONNECTED. I SAW HER.
I THOUGHT, HMM, THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.
AND THEN-- ( LAUGHTER )
PRESHOW. I WAS NERVOUS.
I WASN'T IN A ROMANTIC MOOD. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST-- IT
WASN'T THE RIGHT TIMING. BUT THE NEXT DAY, THE NEXT DAY,
I WAS THRILLED AND DELIGHTED. NO, THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WOKE UP,
I NOTICED THAT MY WATCH WAS MISSING.
AND I-- I COLLECTED WATCHES. YOU KNOW, THESE NOT-- NOT VERY
EXPENSIVE BUT INTERESTING WATCHES.
THEY WERE POCKET WATCH S. >> Stephen: WITH A CHAIN,
THAT KIND OF THING? >> THAT KIND OF THING ON A FOB.
AND THIS WAS A RAILROAD WATCH, PLAYING THE BLACK HOLE OF
CALCUTTA, THE FUNKIEST JUKE JOINTS ANYWHERE, I HAD NEVER HAD
ANYTHING STOLEN FROM A DRESSING ROOM, UNTIL I PLAYED THE BOSTON
SYMPHONY. >> Stephen: WOW.
AND DID KIM STEAL IT? HOW DOES THIS GET BACK TO YOUR
WIFE? HOW DOES IT GET BACK TO HER?
>> SHE DENIES EVERYTHING. SO I CALLED HER THE NEXT DAY,
AND THAT WAS-- THAT WAS THE GOOD FORTUNE-- MAYBE I LOST THE
WATCH, BUT I-- I GOT MY BEST FRIEND.
( APPLAUSE ) BROUGHT THAT HOME WELL, JAMES,
THROFL HAVE YOU HERE THIS WEEK. PLEASE COME BACK ANY TIME.
>> IT'S BEEN SO GREAT. >> Stephen: JAMES TAYLOR.
"AMERICAN STANDARD" IS AVAILABLE NOW.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ACTOR COLMAN DOMINGO.
JAMES TAYLOR!
COMING ON THE HORN. WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.
FOLKS, MY NEXT GUEST IS AN ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM "SELMA," "IF BEALE
STREET COULD TALK," AND "ZOLA."
HE RECENTLY RECEIVED AN EMMY NOMINATION FOR HIS ROLE AS ALI
IN "EUPHORIA." >> I'VE ALWAYS ACCEPTED YOU FOR
WHO YOU ARE-- THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.
( BLEEP ) I'M NOT SOME PARENT YOU CAN TREAT LIKE ( BLEEP ).
>> EXCUSE ME? EXCUSE ME?
( SCOFFS ) WHEN I SIT ACROSS FROM YOU AND

DONE. ONE MORE ( BLEEP ) WORD OUT OF
YOUR MOUTH AND WE'RE DONE. YOU HEAR ME?
HEY! YOU HEAR ME?
>> OR WHAT, ALI? YOU GOING TO HIT ME?
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME TO
"THE LATE SHOW," COLMAN DOMINGO!
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: VERY NICE. I HAVE TO RESPECT A GUEST WHO
TAKES THEIR TIME GETTING OUT HERE, YOU KNOW, GIVE A LITTLE
BIT TO THE AUDIENCE. YOU DESERVE IT.
>> THEY HIT ME WITH A SLOW JAM. WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I HAD TO GLIDE WITH YOU GUYS, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO HAVE YOU OUT HERE.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR EMMY
NOMINATION FOR "EUPHORIA." >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Stephen: YOUR FIRST NOMINATION?
>> FIRST NOMINATION. >> Stephen: THAT'S A GOOD
FEELING. >> SUCH A GOOD FEELING.
>> Stephen: VERY VALIDATING FOR EVERYBODY ON THE THOUGH.
>> EVERYBODY ON THE SHOW, BUT EVERYONE WHO SAY SUPPORTER OF
YOU. IT FEELS LIKE-- THERE'S A WHOLE
TEAM OF PEOPLE-- FAMILY, LOVED ONES THAT YOU YOU DO-- ANY
ARTIST-- DO WHAT YOU'RE DOING. IT'S EVERYBODY.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A SPECIAL THING YOU LIKE TO
DO WHEN YOU CELEBRATE. WHAT'S YOUR LITTLE RITUAL WHEN
YOU CELEBRATE? >> I'VE HAD A RITUAL SINCE I WAS
21, TAKE MYSELF FOR CHAMPAGNE AND OYSTERS.
>> Stephen: DID YOU DO IT? >> I DID.
BUT IT WASN'T A GREAT PLACE. IT WAS ALL RIGHT.
I WAS FINISHING SHOOTING "THE COLOR PURPLE" AND I FOUND
SOMEWHERE TO CELEBRATE QUICKLY BY MYSELF.
>> Stephen: DID YOU HAVE CHAMPAGNE AND OYSTERS?
>> NO, I JUST HAD OYSTERS. >> Stephen: HOW ABOUT--
>> OH, MAN! OH!
( APPLAUSE ) OH, THIS-- OH, MAN.
THIS IS SO NICE, MAN! OH!
MAN! ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: CHEERS. >> I'M A BIT OF A SOFTY.
YOU GOT ME ALMOST CRYING. THANK YOU, MAN.
>> Stephen: CHEERS. >> CHEERS.
>> Stephen: CHEERS TO YOU, MAN.
>> THAT'S VERY KIND. ( APPLAUSE ).
I LOVE IT. >> Stephen: THERE YOU GO,
THERE YOU GO. FEEL FREE.
AS THE INTERVIEW GOES ON, IF THE QUESTIONS ARE TOO TOUGH, YOU CAN
BUY TIME BY HAVING ANOTHER OYSTER.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT. I WILL, DONE AND DONE.
>> Stephen: YOU PLAY ALI ON "EUPHORIA," WHO IS THE MORAL
COMPASS FOR ZENDAYA'S CHARACTER, RUE.
>> YES. >> Stephen: AND HOW HAS THE
REACTION FROM AUDIENCES BEEN FOR YOU?
>> TRULY PROFOUND, MORE THAN ANYTHING THAT I'VE EVER HAD IN
MY CAREER. I GET EMAILS AND TEXTS AND
TWITTER MESSAGES. AND I GOT ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT
STILL STANDS OUT TO ME THEY ACTUALLY SENT TO ZENDAYA AND TO
SAM LEVINSON, AND IT WAS ABOUT THIS WOMAN WHO SAID THE SHOW HAD
SUCH A PROFOUND EFFECT ON HER-- SHE LOST HER MOTHER AND HER
MOTHER SUFFERED FROM THE DISEASE OF ADDICTION.
AND SHE SAID, "THROUGH THE SHOW YOU HELPED ME UNDERSTAND THAT MY
MOTHER WAS-- HER DISEASE WAS BIGGER THAN HER.
IT WAS A WOMAN WHO HAD DREAMS. SHE WANTED TO BE A BALLERINA,
BUT IT WAS A STRUGGLE. A HUMAN STRUGGLE."
ANYTHING SHE THOUGHT ABOUT BEFORE, I DIDN'T HAVE MY MOTHER,
SHE WASN'T THERE FOR ME, IT WENT AWAY.
AND SHE UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE WAS JUST STRUGGLING AND TRYING, LIKE
ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE MOST
PROFOUND THING. IT JUST DECIMATED ME.
BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO CREATE A SHOW THAT HAS
AN IMPACT ON PEOPLE. >> Stephen: THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL
GIFT TO GIVE AN AUDIENCE MEMBER LIKE THAT.
WHO IS YOUR ALI IN YOUR LIFE? DID YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO WOULD
CHECK AND YOU KEEP YOU ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW?
>> THAT'S MY MOTHER. MY MOTHER WAS MY ALI.
( APPLAUSE ) >> BUT IT'S KIND OF WILD BECAUSE
MY MOTHER WAS RAISE BIDE A VERY SORT OF BAPTIST FAMILY, BUT SHE
SORT OF DIDN'T IMPOSE THAT ON US.
SHE LET US MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES. BUT SHE WOULD SAY, "THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOU'RE DOING, THINK ABOUT THE IMPACT OF IT."
IT'S ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY, YOU NAME IT.
SHE WAS LOVING AND KIND AND TELLING ME THINGS WHEN I WAS A
YOUNG ACTOR NOT TO THINK ABOUT MYSELF SO MUCH.
GO BE OF SERVICE TO SOMEONE, BE OF SERVICE TO YOUNG KIDS, AND
YOU'LL FEEL LIKE YOU'RE PART WORLD.
>> Stephen: THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
SERVICE IS LOVE MADE VISIBLE. YOU HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE.
>> "SERVICE IS LOVE MADE VISIBLE."
I NEVER HEARD THAT. >> Stephen: YOU ARE BUSY, AS
YOU SAID BEFORE, YOU JUST WRAPPED ON "THE COLOR PURPLE.

EXPERIENCE BEEN LIKE WORKING ON THAT MOVIE?

BUT HE ORGANIZED THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON FOR DR. KING.
( APPLAUSE ) BEEN GIFTED WITH THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF PLAYING RUSTIN AND IT COSTARS AUDREY McDONALD
AND GLENN TERMON AND MICHAEL POTTS.
AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT RIGHT BEFORE THE MARCH ON
WASHINGTON, SEEING HOW HOW IT GOT THERE.
AND TELL YOU MANY WAYS HOW HE WAS THE PERSON WHO INSPIRED
DR. KING, WHEN IT COMES TO MANY, MANY PRINCIPLES THAT REALLY HELP
US AND GAVE US THE FOUNDATIONS OF LIBERTY WE HAVE TODAY.
>> Stephen: WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON IT, I WANT YOU TO ASK
THE PRODUCERS WHO IS GOING TO PLAY ME SNIFFS AT THE MARCH ON
WASHINGTON IN 1963, ON AUGUST 28, BECAUSE MY MOM WAS PREGNANT
WITH ME, AND SHE WENT TO THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON.
>> ARE YOU SERIOUS. >> Stephen: SOMEBODY, NOT A
BIG ACTOR, A SMALL ACTOR. >> BUT IT'S INSIDE YOU.
LITERALLY, YOU WERE THERE GLI HEARD IT.
IT WAS MUFFLED, BUT I HEARD MOST OF THE "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH.
YOU HAVE A SPECIAL LOVE STORY WITH YOUR HUSBAND.
>> I DO. >> Stephen: WHERE YOU MET 17
YEARS AGO. TELL THE PEOPLE HOW THIS
HAPPENED. LET ME GET THE PHOTO RIGHT HERE.

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN. >> YOU HAVE TO PICTURE 17 YEARS
AGO, AND I WAS ACTUALLY WALKING DOWN THE STREET, GOING INTO A
WALGREENS IN BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA.
WE PASSED EACH OTHER, WE NEVER SPOKE.
A FEW DAYS LATER I'M ON CRAIGSLIST TRYING TO BUY A USED
COMPUTER TO HELP WITH MY WRITING.
AND I WENT TO THE HOME SCREEN, THEY HAVE "MISSED CONNECTIONS,"
THINGS WITH ADS. YOU REMEMBER THAT.
I WOULD READ THEM, BECAUSE I'M A ROMANTIC.
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THIS PERSON THEY CROSSED PATHS WITH
NEVER SPOKE TO. AND I GO TO THE SECOND PAGE OF
"MISSED CONNECTIONS." "SAW YOU OUTSIDE OF WALGREENS
BERKELEY." I HAD A FAUX HAWK-- YOU REMEMBER
WHEN THEY WERE BIG-- AND WE MET UP TWO DAYS LATER, AND I TOLD
HIM, "I THINK YOU'RE ABOUT TO CHANGE MY LIFE AND I LOVE YOU."
>> Stephen: WOW! >> AND WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER EVER
SINCE. >> Stephen: HERE'S TO THAT.
