>> OVER ALL, "FORBES" SAID THE HALF TRILLION DOLLARS OVER THE
LAST YEAR.
IT'S THE FIRST DROP FOR THE SUPER RICH SINCE THE GREAT
RECESSION.
MARK ZUCKERBERG LOST MORE THAN HALF OF HIS FORTUNE, OVER $75
BILLION.
HE FELL FROM THIRD-RICHEST AMERICAN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO
NUMBER 11.

TONIGHT: PLUS, STEPHEN WELCOMES:

♪ ♪ ♪ >> Stephen: I'LL BE RIGHT WITH
YOU.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU.
HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.
HAPPY-- HAPPY WEDNESDAY.
HEY!
THANK YOU, JOSEPH.
OH, OH, MY FRIENDS, MY FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, WELCOME TO "THE
LATE SHOW."
I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS SHOW FROM FLORIDA, FIRST OF ALL, I'M
GLAD YOU'VE GOT ELECTRICITY, BECAUSE THIS AFTERNOON AT 3:05,
HURRICANE IAN MADE LANDFALL AS A AN EXTEMELY POWERFUL CATEGORY 4,
WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 150 MPH, AND A POSSIBLE STORM SURGE OF 18
FEET.
WE'RE PRAYING FOR EVERYONE IN THE PATH OF THIS STORM, AND
EVERYBODY NORTH-- GEORGIA, SOUTH CAROLINA-- BATTEN DOWN, Y'ALL.
IT'S COMING.
STAY SAFE.
I'M BEING TOLD WE HAVE A PIECE OF VIRAL FOOTAGE.
THIS IS REPORTEDLY FORT MYERS.
IT'S A SHARK SWIMMING IN A FLOODED CITY STREET.
THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE...
IN THAT MY RESEARCHERS TELL ME THAT IT IS PROBABLY NOT REAL
FOOTAGE.
SOMEONE PUT THAT ONLINE, BUT I DECIDED TO SHOW YOU,
BECAUSE IT'S A SHARK IN A STREET.
YOU CAN'T PASS THAT UP.
IN OTHER FLORIDA DISASTER NEWS FORMER PRESIDENT
THE GREAT GRABSBY.
WE'RE GETTING MORE DETAILS FROM THE NEW BOOK "CONFIDENCE MAN,"
BY MAGGIE HABERMAN.
MAGGIE BE OUR GUEST NEXT TUESDAY, AND I'LL BE ASKING HER
ABOUT ALL THE PRETTY UPSETTING STUFF SHE LEARNED ABOUT THE
EX-PRESIDENT, LIKE HOW ONCE AT A DINNER IN 2017, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT SAW STAFFERS OF COLOR AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND ASSUMED
APPARENTLY, THE FORMER PRESIDENT WAS HAVING DINNER WITH CHUCK
SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI, HEN HE TURNED TO THEIR NON-WHITE
STAFFERS AND SAID, "WHY DON'T YOU GET THE FOOD?"
AGAIN, PRETTY TERRIBLE.
BUT TO BE FAIR, THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS IN EVERY SITUATION.
( AS GENERAL ) "SIR, NORTH KOREA HAS LAUNCHED A
LONG-RANGE MISSILE TEST.
WHAT ARE YOUR ORDERS?
UH-HUH.
YES, SIR.
YES SIR.
OKAY, TWO 10-PIECE FAMILY BUCKETS, AND TELL THEM TO FILL
THE GRAVY TO THE TOP THIS TIME."
YES, SIR, YES, SIR."
NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE FORMER PRESIDENT ALSO SAID BAD THINGS
ABOUT WOMEN.
HE REPORTEDLY REFERRED TO GERMAN CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL AS
"THAT B."
WOW, HE KNEW THE GERMAN WORD FOR CHANCELLOR IS
"BUNDES-KANSSLERIN?" ( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE ) THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Louis: WOW.
>> Stephen: THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT HE WAS AN IGNORANT
LITTLE BITCH.
AS BAD AS HE WAS TO THE PEOPLE HE WORKED WITH, HE WAS EVEN
WORSE TO HIS FAMILY, BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THE BOOK,
THE EX-PRESIDENT NEARLY FIRED JARED AND IVANKA VIA TWEET.
THAT WOULD BE AN AWFUL WAY TO FIND OUT THEY'D LOST THEIR JOBS
AS...
HANDBAG BLONDEFACE?
HAUNTED SCARECROW?
HIS-AND-HERS TOWEL RACKS?
I DENT KNOW WHAT THEY DID.
APPARENTLY, HE BROUGHT UP THE PROSPECT OF FIRING THEM WITH
THEN-CHIEF OF STAFF JOHN KELLY, WHO TOLD HIM THAT BEFORE
TWEETING THE NEWS, HE HAD TO SPEAK TO JARED AND IVANKA
DIRECTLY FIRST.
YES, PEOPLE SHOULDN'T LEARN LIFE-CHANGING NEWS FROM A TWEET.
I MEAN, YOU'D HATE TO SEE THIS IN YOUR DOCTOR'S FEED:
@ CHRISTOPHER SMITH, GOT UR RESULTS.
LET'S SAY: LEASE, DON'T BUY.
#YOLO.
( APPLAUSE ) IN THE END-- IT'S DARK.
IT'S A LITTLE DARK.
>> Louis: A LITTLE BIT.
>> Stephen: IN THE END, THE EX-PRESIDENT DID WHAT HE'D DONE
HIS WHOLE LIFE: HE AVOIDED HIS CHILDREN.
HE NEVER FIRED THEM, AND AS WE ALL KNOW, JARED WENT ON TO
ACHIEVE MIDDLE EAST PEACE.
( LAUGHTER ) HABERMAN ALSO REPORTS THAT
BECAUSE OF THE EX-PRESIDENT'S TENDENCY TO REPEAT WHATEVER
HE HAD JUST HEARD, HIS AIDES STARTED CALLING HIM "A
SOPHISTICATED PARROT."
C'MON, GUYS.
HE'S MUCH MORE OF A HORNY COCKATOO.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
THAT'S A REALLY FLATTERING DESCRIPTION.
THAT IS A VERY FLATTERING DESCRIPTION.
HE SHOULD BE SO LUCKY.
ELSEWHERE IN HER BOOK, THE FORMER PRESIDENT RIPPED INTO
FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DeSANTIS, CALLING HIM "FAT," "PHONY," AND
"WHINY," ADDING, "PLUS, DeSANTIS ALWAYS PROJECTS HIS INSECURITIES
ONTO OTHER PEOPLE!
AND HIS BUTT LOOKS SO HUGE IN THOSE TENNIS SHORTS!"
( LAUGHTER ) WE ALSO LEARNED THAT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT CONSIDERED BOMBING DRUG LABS IN MEXICO.
THANKFULLY, AT THE LAST MINUTE, DON JR. TALKED HIM OUT OF IT.
AND THEN JUST TALKED AND TALKED AND TALKED.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
THE GUY-- THE GUY-- "DON'T DO
IT, DAD.
DON'T DO IT, DAD."
THE GUY WHO ALMOST GOT HIM TO DO THE BOMBING WAS SOME PUBLIC
HEALTH OFFICIAL WHO CAME INTO THE OVAL OFFICE WEARING A DRESS
UNIFORM.
THE RESPONSE FROM WHITE HOUSE AIDES WAS NOT TO TRY TO CHANGE
THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S VIEW ABOUT BOMBING MEXICO, BUT TO
CONSIDER ASKING THAT HEALTH OFFICIAL NOT TO WEAR HIS
UNIFORM TO THE OVAL OFFICE ANYMORE, BECAUSE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT IS SO EASILY INFLUENCED BY ANYONE IN UNIFORM.
I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT HIS CABINET:
DIRECTOR OF HOMELAND SECURITY, HEAD OF INFRASTRUCTURE,
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY, SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR,
DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.
AND, OF COURSE, SECRETARY OF LEATHER BOYS.
( APPLAUSE ) WOW.
YOU ARE AN EASILY MANIPULATED MOB.
THANK YOU!
THE EX-PRESIDENT WAS ALSO PRETTY UPSET ABOUT THE WHOLE COVID
THING...
KIND OF.
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HE PLAYED DOWN THE VIRUS IN EARLY 2020,
HE CAST HIMSELF AS THE VICTIM, SAYING, "CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS
HAPPENED TO ME?" FIRST OF ALL,WE STILL CAN'T
BELIEVE YOU HAPPENED TO US!
LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
GOTTA SAY, HIS COURAGE IN THE FACE OF CRISIS REMINDS ME OF
F.D.R.'S FAMOUS ADDRESS AFTER PEARL HARBOR:
>> DECEMBER 7, 1941: A DATE THAT I CAN'T BELIEVE HAPPENED TO ME!
I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO THE MOVIES THAT DAY!
I HAD TICKETS TO SEE "DUMBO!" NO FAIR, JAPAN!
>> Stephen: OH, HERE'S A LITTLE SOMETHING THAT MIGHT
BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE.
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE GREAT RECESSION, THE SUPERRICH
DID NOT GET RICHER THIS YEAR.
( APPLAUSE ) HELL, YES.
I WILL TOAST TO THAT.
ALEXA, ORDER CHAMPAGNE FROM AMAZON!
TAKE THAT, BEZOS.
ONE BILLIONAIRE HIT ESPECIALLY HARD IS META C.E.O. AND FIRST
FACE YOU SEE WHEN YOU COME TO AT THE BOTTOM OF A WELL, MARK
ZUCKERBERG.
( LAUGHTER ) IS HE DOWN THERE WITH YOU?
IS THAT IT?
HE'S DOWN THERE WITH YOU IN THE WELL?
IS HE A MOLE MAN, IS THAT WHAT IT IS?
OR IS HE AT THE TOP LOOKING DOWN AT YOU SAYING, "PUT THE LOTION
ON YOUR BODY."
IN 2021, ZUCKERBERG WAS NUMBER THREE ON THE "FORBES 400," BUT
THIS YEAR, HE FELL OUT OF THE TOP 10 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE
2014.
THAT MUST BE TOUGH.
BUT YOU'D NEVER KNOW HE'S UPSET.
OR HAPPY.
OR HUNGRY.
HE IS A ROBOT.
THINGS ARE EVEN WORSE FOR OTHER BILLIONAIRES, LIKE TECH
ENTREPRENEURS AND TWINS WHO EACH SECRETLY THINK THE OTHER IS THE
SPARE ORGAN FARM, CAMERON AND TYLER WINKLEVOSS.
UNLIKE ZUCK, WHO MERELY DROPPED A COUPLE SPOTS IN THE RANKINGS,
THIS YEAR, THE WINKLEVOSSESES FELL OFF THE LIST ALTOGETHER.
BUT DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT JOBS.
THEY CAN ALWAYS FALL BACK ON THEIR BAND.

SPEAKING OF-- SPEAKING OF SINGERS,
CONCERT-GOERS IN D.C. GOT A RARE TREAT LAST NIGHT WHEN LIZZO
PLAYED A VERY SPECIAL FLUTE.
AS SHE EXPLAINS: >> THIS WAS FROM THE EARLY
1800s, AND THIS WAS A GIFT TO JAMES MADISON FROM A FRENCH
CRYSTAL FLUTE DESIGNER TO CELEBRATE HIS SECOND TERM.
THERE WAS A FIRE WHEN HE WAS AWAY, AND THE ONLY TWO THINGS
THAT WERE SAVED WERE A PORTRAIT OF GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THIS
CRYSTAL FLUTE RIGHT HERE.
>> Stephen: NOW, THE HOUSE HE WAS AWAY FROM, BY THE WAY, IS
THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THE FIRE SHE'S DESCRIBING IS THE BRITISH
BURNING IT DOWN DURING THE WAR OF 1812.
ANYWAY, GO AHEAD, THE FLUTE?

YEAH!
THAT'S FANTASTIC.
AND I THINK IT'S WHAT JAMES MADISON WOULD'VE WANTED.
THAT'S WHY HE WROTE IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS, "YOU'RE 100% THAT
BITCH!" THIS WAS SO COOL.
AND LIZZO REALLY PUT IT INTO CONTEXT:
>> WE JUST MADE HISTORY TONIGHT ( CHEERING )
THANK YOU TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS FOR PRESERVING OUR
HISTORY AND MAKING HISTORY FREAKING COOL.
HISTORY IS FREAKING COOL, YOU GUYS.
>> Stephen: WOW.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GIFT TO EVERY DORKY SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER IN
AMERICA: "WELL, KIDS, I'M NOT THE ONLY
ONE WHO THINKS HISTORY IS FREAKING COOL.
I KNOW A CERTAIN LADY WHO AGREES.
HER NAME IS LIE-ZO.
NOW IT'S-- ABOUT DANG TIME
TO TURN YOUR TEXTBOOKS TO PAGE 92, 'THE BATTLE OF
TICONDEROGA.'" WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT!
LATER I'LL BE TALKING TO STAR OF THE MOVIE, "SMILE," BUT WHEN WE

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
FOR THOSE OF YOU KEEPING SCORE AT HOME, THIS IS YOUR 14th
APPEARANCE-- >> IS IT REALLY.
>> Stephen: ON "THE LATE SHOW."
>> IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'M SWEARING A SMOCK.
>> Stephen: WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING A SUIT.
>> IT'S AN ODE TO CUNNINGHAM.
DO YOU REMEMBER HIM?
IT'S AN INSIDE JOKE AND ONE PERSON GOT IT.
>> Stephen: THEY SAY IF YOU CAN REACH ONE PERSON, THOSE ARE
TERRIBLE RATINGS.
( LAUGHTER ) >> I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT.
>> Stephen: NOW, IT IS JUST A LITTLE AFTER 6:00 RIGHT NOW.
WE TAPED THE SHOW EARLIER.
WE KNOW AROUND 3:00 THIS AFTERNOON, HURRICANE IAN MADE
LANDFALL-- >> A CATEGORY 4.
>> Stephen: MASSIVE CATEGORY 4.
WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?
>> SUSTAINED WINDS AT SOME POINT 150 MILES PER HOUR, VERY
HIGH-LEVEL CATEGORY 4, COULD HAVE BEEN A CATEGORY 5.
WHAT'S WEIRD IS IT'S A SIMILAR TRACK TO HURRICANE CHARLIE,
ANYONE DOWN IN FLORIDA IN 2004.
AND THAT-- THAT VEERED OFF TAMPA BAY, WHERE I WAS IN 2004.
SO THAT DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE.
IAN IS MUCH BIRTHER THAN #CHARLIE.
THE POTENTIAL STORM SURGE, OTHER POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGES IS
REALLY GREAT.
IT SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT RIGHT BEFORE IT MADE LANDFALL,
WHICH MEANS IT IS GOING TO BE OVER LAND A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
THERE ARE ALREADY EARLY REPORTS OF PEOPLE TRAPPED IN HOME.
POLICE-- 911 CALLS BEING OVERWHELMED.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S POTENTIALLY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN DAMAGE.
AND, OBVIOUSLY, THE VERY REAL POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF LIFE.
>> Stephen: NOW, I THOUGHT TONIGHT WE'D BE TALKING TO YOU
ABOUT THE JANUARY 6 HEARINGS.
>> YTHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TODAY.
>> Stephen: BUT IN FACT THAT WAS POSTPONED BECAUSE THE
HURRICANE WAS COMING IN.
LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT IT IN GENERAL.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN ANTICIPATING?
BECAUSE THEY'RE SAYING THAT-- FIRST THEY SAID THE HEARINGS
WOULD BE RESUMING IN THE FALL.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: AND THEN WE GOT THE WORD THIS WAS GOING TO BE
THE ONLY PLANNED HEARING FOR THE FALL.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD IN YOUR REPORTING THAT
THEY'RE PLANNING TO DO OR SHOW?
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING?
>> I KNOW THEY WILL BE SHOWING SOME VIDEOS AND --
>> Stephen: DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?
>> I HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THEY ARE.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S YOUR IDEA OF WHAT THEY ARE?
>> I-- I WOULDN'T GO INTO IT.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: WHY?
YOU'RE A NEWSMAN.
REPORT, REPORT WHAT YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE.
WHATDO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE?
>> I-- I-- YEAH.
I'M JUST NOT GOING TO GO INTO IT.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE CONFIRMATION?
>> NO, I'M JUST NOT-- I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU IN THESE VIDEOS?
( LAUGHTER ) ARE THESE PEOPLE FRIENDS OF
YOURS IN THESE VIDEOS?
WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT'S IN THE VIDEOS, ANDERSON COOPER?
>> THEY'RE GOING TO BE SHOWING SOME VIDEOS-- SOME DOCUMENTARY
STUFF THAT WAS ALREADY ON CNN THAT IS REPORTED THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO SHOW.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE THEY'RE GOING TO SHOW OR WHAT PARTS OF
STUFF THEY'RE GOING TO SHOW.
>> Stephen: I THINK YOU DO KNOW.
( LAUGHTER ) I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WON'T TELL
ANDERSON, WHAT HAVE YOU MADE OF IT SO FAR?
BECAUSE CERTAINLY GOING INTO IT, THERE WAS A LOT OF WORRY THIS
WAS GOING TO BE A NOTHING BURGER.
>> I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY WELL ORGANIZED.
THE INFORMATION IS STUNNING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND.
IT STUNS ME THAT THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE ENTIRE
CONGRESS EMBRACED, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, AND HAVE A
9/11-STYLE COMMISSION TO ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE THE LARGEST
ATTACK ON OUR DEMOCRACY SINCE 9/11.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WERE IN ON IT.
THAT'S WHY.
( APPLAUSE ) THEY CAN'T-- THEY CAN'T--
>> STILL, THE LEADERSHIP SHOULD HAVE-- I MEAN, THE IDEA THAT
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WHICH WAS EMBRACED BY-- ON A BIPARTISAN
BASIS ACROSS THE BOARD IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS.
>> Stephen: I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK MADE THE DIFFERENCE ON
THE HEARING, EVERYBODY ON THAT PANEL, EVERYBODY ON THE HEARINGS
THINKS THE HEARINGS SHOULD BE HAPPENING.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
THERE'S NO SABOTAGE GOING ON.
>> LOOK, YOU DO-- LOOK, THERE IS TREMENDOUS BRAVERY ON THAT
PANEL.
LIZ CHENEY, ADAM KINZINGER, WHO ARE REPUBLICANS HAVE SACRIFICED
THEIR POLITICAL CAREERS, THEIR POLITICAL FUTURES, AT LEAST FOR
NOW, FOR STANDING UP FOR THE TRUTH AND TRYING TO GET AT WHAT
IS TRUE AND WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
AND THERE'S STILL-- THE FACT THAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW SO MUCH
OF WHAT HAPPENED, THE FACT THAT THE CELL PHONE COMMUNICATIONS OF
THE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS AROUND THE PRESIDENT HAVE-- WERE WIPED?
I MEAN-- >> Stephen: THEY SAID THEY GOT
THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF INFORMATION FROM THE SECRET
SERVICE AND THEY GOT A BUNCH OF THE PHONES SEIZED.
IS THAT WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WON'T TELL ME?
IS THAT WHAT YOU HAVE?
THAT'S NOT.
>> THAT'S NOT IT.
THEY MIGHT HAVE VIDEO OF THAT.
>> Stephen: IS IT SOME FUN TIKTOKS YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE
WITH ME.
WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BUT IF YOU CAN STAY THERE, I'LL
BEBACK WITH MORE ANDERSON COOPER, EVERYBODY.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WE'RE BACK HERE
WITH YOUNG ANDERSON COOPER.
OKAY, NEWS TODAY THAT McCONNELL SAYS HE IS GOING TO
SUPPORT LEGISLATION THAT CHANGES THE ELECTORAL COUNT ACT THAT
BASICALLY UNDERLINES THE FACT THAT A VICE PRESIDENT CAN'T PICK
WHO THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> I LOVE HOW MUCH OF A NEWS GEEK YOU ARE.
I REALLY-- I REALLY LIKE IT.
>> Stephen: I WATCH YOU EVERY NIGHT, ANDERSON COOPER.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> LOOK, THIS IS-- ( APPLAUSE )
YEAH, NO -- >> Stephen: I'M GOING TO BE
REALLY MAD WHEN I FIND OUT WHAT YOU DIDN'T SHOW ME.
>> THE FACT THAT MITCH McCONNELL IS BACKING THIS IS A
BIG DEAL.
THIS IS THE ELECTORAL COUNT ACT, IT'S BASICALLY GOING TO CHANGE
THE WAY THAT THE ELECTORAL COUNT IS ACTUALLY CERTIFIED IN
CONGRESS.
IT WILL MAKE-- IT WILL JUST CLARIFY THINGS THAT WEREN'T SO
CLEAR ON JANUARY 6, SO THAT A THING LIKE JANUARY 6 MAKES IT
HARDER FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
IT WILL MAKE SURE PEOPLE REALIZE--
( APPLAUSE ) THAT THE ROLE OF THE VICE
PRESIDENT IS PURELY CEREMONIAL.
HE ACTUALLY REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ON THAT DAY, OTHER THAN
JUST READ THE STUFF THAT'S WRITTEN FOR HIM, AND BE
CEREMONIAL ON THAT DAY.
>> Stephen: RIGHT, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY.
>> WELL...
NOW, YOU KNOW...
>> Stephen: COME ON.
COME ON!
>> WELL.
>> Stephen: ISN'T IT CRAZY NOT ALL THE REPUBLICANS IN THE
SENATE ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT IT?
TED CRUZ SAYS HE WON'T VOTE FOR IT.
>> TED CRUZ SAYS HE'S NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR IT-- I'M
PARAPHRASING HIM-- I THINK IT'S IT WILL BE HARDER FOR CONGRESS
TO CATCH FRAUD.
THE THING IS WHAT'S SO FRUSTRATING ABOUT THIS IS 2020
ELECTION WAS ACTUALLY IS AMONG THE MOST REMARKABLE ELECTIONS,
IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC.
REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS, THERE WAS HUGE TURNOUT ACROSS THE
BOARD.
( APPLAUSE ) IT WAS HUGELY SUCCESSFUL.
THERE WAS NO WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD.
EVERY RECOUNT THAT'S BEEN DONE, EVERY STUDY THAT'S BEEN DONE,
THERE JUST WASN'T.
IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN.
AND SO NOW-- SO TED CRUZ'S LINE IS, "THIS WILL MAKE IT HARDER
FOR CONGRESS TO CATCH FRAUD," HE'S JUST KOWTOWING TO THE --
YOU KNOW, THE LOONIES IN HIS DISTRIBUTE WHO-- IN HIS
PARTICULAR STATE, WHO HE NEEDS IN CASE HE, YOU KNOW, GETS TO
RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
>> Stephen: WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK.
BUT STICK AROUND, EVERYBODY.
WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL TALK ABOUT ANDERSON'S NEW PODCAST
ABOUT GRIEF "ALL THERE IS."
STICK AROUND.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: BAND ON THE RUN.
HEY, EVERYBODY, IT'S ANDERSON COOPER.
YOU HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT FULL-TIME JOB.
THAT IS DAD.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: HERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR SON WYATT, TWO YEARS OLD.
>> YEAH.
HE JUST-- HE LEARNED THE THUMBS-UP.
>> Stephen: HERE'S THE NEWCOMER IN THE HOUSE.
>> THAT'S SEBASTIAN.
SHE'S VERY SKEPTICAL.
>> Stephen: SEVEN MONTHS.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAST TIME YOU WERE ON HERE HOW WYATT HAS
TAKEN TO SEBASTIAN.
IS THAT STILL HOLDING?
>> IT'S GREAT.
I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
I HAD THIS WHOLE THING WHERE I GOT ATTACKED BECAUSE I SORT OF
INTIMATED TO YOU THAT WYATT AND I WERE KIND OF MOCKING SEBASTIAN
WHEN HE CRIED-- YOU.
>> Stephen: WERE ATTACKED BY VIEWERS.
>> PEOPLE IN GENERAL.
>> Stephen: OH, PEOPLE.
>> PARENTS.
ANYWAY-- WHO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
NO, NO, SO WYATT IS GREAT.
I WAKE UP WYATT FIRST, AND THEN HE WANTS TO COME WITH ME TO WAKE
UP SEBASTIAN.
AND HE LIKES TO GET IN SEBASTIAN'S CRIB.
HE HAS THIS THING NOW-- I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM-- I WANT
TO SMELL SEBASTIAN.
I WANT TO SMELL THE BABY.
AND I SAY SMELL THE BABY.
AND HE SMELLS THE BABY'S HEAD.
AND EVERY TIME HE SAYS THE THAM SING, "HE SMELLS LIKE AN ANGEL."
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> I'M LIKE ARE YOU FROM A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.
>> Stephen: GET THAT KID OVER TO HALLMARK.
>> I KNOW, I KNOW.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A NEW PODCAST.
>> I DO.
>> Stephen: THAT'S CALLED "ALL THERE IS," AND IT'S ABOUT GRIEF.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND I WAS YOUR FIRST GUEST.
>> YOU WERE MY SECOND-- YOU WERE MY FIRST GUEST BUT THE SECOND
EPISODE OF THE PODCAST.
>> Stephen: BUT I WAS THE FIRST GUEST.
>> WHEN I DECIDED TO DO THE PODCAST YOU WERE THE FIRST
PERSON I HAD IN MIND BECAUSE YOU AND I HAD A CONVERSATION A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER MY MOM DIED THAT SO PROVING MOVING TO
ME AND A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO SAW IT, AND YOU SPEAK ABOUT
GRIEF AND LOSS IN THE MOST PROFOUND, MOST MOVING AND
THOUGHTFUL WAY OF I THINK ANYBODY I'VE EVER SPOKEN TO
ABOUT IT.
AND SO I KNEW I WANTED TO SPEAK TO YOU FOR THIS PODCAST.
AND STEVEN AND I HAD A CONVERSATION-- EPISODE TWO OF
THIS PODCAST-- IT'S REALLY-- I MEAN, I REALLY THINK IT IS AMONG
THE MOST PROFOUND CONVERSATIONS I HAVE EVER HAD.
>> Stephen: IT'S VERY MEANINGFUL TO ME.
AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL.
AND I ADMIRE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE EXPLORING THE SUBJECT,
GRIEF AND LOSS, THAT EVERYBODY AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE HAS
TO DEAL WITH AND ALMOST NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT.
IT'S A GREAT SERVICE.
>> IT MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE SILENCE
IN THE ROOM RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> BUT IT'S-- BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL ALL GO
THROUGH, IF WE HAVEN'T ALREADY, IF YOU HAVEN'T OUT THERE
ALREADY, YOU'RE LUCKY.
BUT YOU WILL GO THROUGH THIS.
AND TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT AND TO BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT IT
IN NEW AND DIFFERENT WAYS, I MEAN, YOU LOST YOUR FATHER, TWO
OF YOUR BROTHERS, PETER AND PAUL, WERE KILLED WHEN YOU WERE
10 YEARS OLD IN A PLANE CRASH.
I LOST MY DAD WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD.
THAT CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
IT CHANGED THE PEOPLE THAT WE WERE.
I KNOW WE BOTH MARK TIME FROM THAT DAY-- THAT DAY BECAME THE
NEW YEAR 0.
IT'S LIKE THE CLOCKS RESET.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> I'M A DIFFERENT PERSON.
AND I HAVEN'T-- I HAVEN'T DEALT WITH ALL THE LOSSES THAT I HAD
IN MY LIFE REALLY, UNTIL NOW.
I STARTED GOING THROUGH MY MOMMIA THINGS AFTER SHE DIED.
AND I JUST FOUND IT OVERWHELMING.
BECAUSE I WAS ALSO GOING THROUGH MY DAD'S STUFF, BECAUSE HE DIED
WHEN I WAS 10 -- >> Stephen: THAT'S A 40-YEAR
GAP IN YOUR LIFE.
>> AND MY BROTHER.
>> Stephen: OF COURSE YOUR BROTHER DIED WHEN YOU WERE IN
YOUR 20s.
>> HE WAS 21.
>> Stephen: THAT'S 40 YEARS AND 30 YEARS BEFORE YOU STARTED
DEALING WITH ANY OF THAT.
YOU FIND THINGS-- ONE OF THE THINGS YOU TALK ABOUT, ABOUT
FINDING OF YOUR MOTHER'S, GLORIA VANDERBILT, YOU FIND THESE
OBJECTS THAT TRIGGER THESE EMOTIONS FOR YOU.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE FOUND THAT HAVE BEEN THE
MOST PROFOUND FOR YOU.
>> THEY HAVE BEEN AMAZING STUFF.
MY MOM WAS GLORIA VANDERBILT AND LIVED THIS KIND OF EPIC LIFE.
THERE IS JUST ALL THESE BOXES OF STUFF.
SHE NEVER THREW ANYTHING AWAY.
YOU OPEN UP ONE, AND IT'S CORN FLAKES FROM 1953 FROM THIS MOVE.
AND YOU OPEN UP ANOTHER AND IT'S A PILE OF, LIKE, TELEGRAM LOVE
LETTERS FROM FRANK SINATRA WHILE THEY WERE HAVING A THING.
>> Stephen: THIS IS THEM HAVING THEIR THING IN 1954.
>> THIS IS THEM HAVING THEIR THING.
THEIR THING DIDN'T LAST -- >> Stephen: YOUR MOTHER IS
RADIANT.
LOOK AT THAT.
>> I KNOW.
SO WHAT'S -- >> Stephen: GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE
OF THE TELEGRAM.
>> THE TELEGRAM SAID, "STAR, COME INTO TOWN, YOUR FELLA ON
THE WHITE HORSE, RING-A-DING-DING."
IT'S JUST EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD WANT A LOVE TELEGRAM --
>> Stephen: HE HAD SOMEONE FROM WARNER BROTHERS WRITE THAT.
>> IT'S ALWAYS FROM AIRPORTS AND ON PLANES.
HE'S LIKE, "I'M IN MELBOURNE ON MY WAY TO YOU, STAR.
I THINK OF YOU MORE THAN I SHOULD.
CALL ME.
CRESTVIEW, 475."
JUST-- IT'S-- AND I'M SITTING THERE, THIS IS KIND OF AMAZING
AND WHAT DO I DO WITH THESE THINGS?
YEAH AND SO I WANTED -- >> Stephen: SO AND YOU RONAN
FARROW MIGHT BE FRANK SINATRA'S FUN.
A LOT TO GO THROUGH THERE.
A LOT TO PROCESS.
>> A LOT TO UNPACK.
>> Stephen: NOW, HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE
AND THEIR GRIEF HAS THAT CHANGED--
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Stephen: HOW YOU LOOK AT YOUR OWN GRIEF?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Stephen: HOW YOU EXAMINE IT?
>> IT'S MADE ME REFRAME SCPR RETHINK THE STORIES I TELL
MYSELF.
WE ALL HAVE THESE NARRATIVES WE TELL OURSELVES.
IN AN EPISODE FROM TODAY, I TALK TO DR. MILLER, HIS SISTER DIED
BY SUICIDE.
THE RELEASE TODAY IS ABOUT MY BROTHER'S SUICIDE WHEN HE WAS
23.
HE KILLED HIMSELF IN FRONT OF MY MOM.
AND IT'S ABOUT THE RIPPLE EFFECTS OF IT, AND ONE OF THE
THINGS HE TALKS ABOUT IS HOW-- HOW HE VIEWS-- HE DOESN'T VIEW
SORROW AS THE ENEMY.
HE DOESN'T VIEW TEARS AS THE ENEMY.
HE DOESN'T EVEN VIEW DEATH AS THE ENEMY.
YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.
HE TALKS ABOUT HOW THE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES, WE GET STUCK
IN THESE STORIES.
"I'M THE KIND OF GUY WHO DOES THIS.
I'M THE KIND OF PERSON WHO FEELS THIS."
AND YOU CAN CHANGE THE STORIES YOU TELL YOURSELF, AND YOU CAN
CHANGE THE WAY-- THE WAY I WAS SEEING MY MOM AND MY DAD AND MY
BROTHER WAS THROUGH THE EYES OF A 10-YEAR-OLD BOY WHEN MY DAD
DIED.
TO SUDDENLY NOW SEE THEM AS A 55-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO HAS CHILDREN
OF THEIR OWN, IT'S-- IT REFRAMES HOW YOU THINK ABOUT THEIR LOSS,
AND ALSO HAVING KIDS HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS, EXTRAORDINARY
EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I KNOW I WANT TO PASS ON...
I WANT TO...
PASS ON WHO MY DAD WAS, WHO MY MOM WAS, AND WHO MY BROTHER WAS,
TO MY KIDS WITHOUT IT BEING KIND OF CLOAKED IN SADNESS AND, LIKE,
MYSTERY TO THEM.
I JUST-- I WANT THEM TO KNOW WHO THEY WERE AND ALL THE MEMORIES
THAT I HAVE, I WOULD LIKE THEM TON A LOT OF THOSE STORIES.
BECAUSE TO ME ONE OF THE SADDEST THINGS ABOUT WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR
FAMILY, WHEN YOU ARE THE LAST ONE LEFT FROM YOUR IMMEDIATE
FAMILY, IS YOU ARE-- YOU'RE LIKE THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER ON THIS
ISLAND.
YOU'RE THE KEEPER OF ALL THE MEMORIES.
YOU'RE THE LAST ONE WHORM REMEMBERS ALL THOSE LITTLE
STORIES THAT AKE UP YOUR FAMILY'S LIFE.
THE IDEA OF THOSE STORIES DYING ALONG WITH MY FAMILY, TO BE ABLE
TO PASS THOSE STORIES ON IS TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WELL, THE PODCAST
YOU'RE DOING I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT.
THANK YOU FOR DOING IT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: ANDERSON, LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
HIS PODCAST IS "ALL THERE IS" AND HIS BOOK, "VANDERBILT," IS
NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK.
IT'S ANDERSON COOPER, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE STAR OF THE MOVIE, "SMILE,"
SOSIE BACON.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY,
ALREADY IN PROGRESS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY NEXT
GUEST TONIGHT IS AN ACTRESS YOU KNOW FROM "NARCOS: MEXICO" AND
SHE NOW STARS IN THE FILM, "SMILE."
PLEASE WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW," SOSIE BACON!
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: PLEASE, PLEASE, SIT AND ENJOY.
>> SO COOL.
>> Stephen: WELCOME.
>> OH, MY GOSH, THANK YOU!
>> Stephen: WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
AND IS THIS TRUE THIS IS YOUR LATE-NIGHT TV DEBUT?
>> YES.
IT'S SO COOL.
WHAT A NICE THEATER.
>> Stephen: IT'S GOING-- IT'S GOING GREAT SO FAR.
>> IT IS, OKAY.
>> Stephen: I NOTICD VERY FEW MISTAKES.
>> LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY NOTES.
>> Stephen: AS THE DAUGHTER OF KEVIN BACON AND KYRA SEDGWICK,
YOU ARE NO STRANGER TO ACTING.
YOU SAW IT GROWING UP.
YOUR PARENTS ARE BOTH INCREDIBLY GIFTED ACTORS.
BUT WHEN DID YOU-- WERE YOU-- WERE YOU ENCOURAGED TO DO IT?
>> I FEEL LIKE IT'S KIND OF THIS STORY THAT, LIKE, THEY DIDN'T
WANT ME TO DO IT BECAUSE I MAYBE SAID THAT ONE TIME WHEN I WAS
NERVOUS, BUT THEY WEREN'T, LIKE, "DON'T DO IT.
YOU'RE GOING TO--" YOU KNOW, OAFS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE.
THEY WEREN'T FORCING ME TO DO IT.
THEY WEREN'T DISCOURAGING IT.
>> Stephen: DID THEY INTRODUCE YOU TO THE IDEA?
>> I THINK THAT IT WAS JUST IN OUR FAMILY.
LIKE, WE ARE, YOU KNOW, PERFORMERS.
>> Stephen: DID YOU RUN LINES WITH YOUR FOLKS?
>> YEAH, I DID.
SO I WAS ACTUALLY JUST REMINDING MY DAD OF THIS STORY THAT,
LIKE-- LIKE, WHEN I WAS THINK SEVEN OR EIGHT-- I KNOW I WAS
VERY YOUNG -- AND I DID THIS AFTER-SCHOOL ACTING PROGRAM.
AND WE WERE REHEARSING AND PUTTING ON A PLAY.
SO, NATURALLY, I BROUGHT THE PLAY HOME, RAN IT WITH MY DAD.
HE TOLD ME IT WAS AN IRISH PLAY AND, THEREFORE, I HAD TO DO THE
ACCENT.
AND I WAS SEVEN.
AND SO I WAS LIKE, "UH-HUH, YEAH, OKAY, TELL ME."
I, LIKE, RAN IT WITH HIM.
I WENT TO THE THEATER, AND IN THE PERFORMANCE, I WAS FULL ON
DOING, LIKE, AN IRISH ACCENT.
AND NO OTHER SEVEN-YEAR-OLDS WERE DOING IT.
LIKE, IT WAS JUST ME UP THERE COMMITTED.
"I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD."
>> Stephen: I WONDER WHICH CHILD ON STAGE IS KYRA
SEDGWICK'S AND SOSIE BACON'S.
>> IS IT THE NOSE OR THE ACCENT?
>> Stephen: BIG BIRTHDAY FOR THIS YEAR.
YOU TURNED 30.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A LOVELY MILESTONE.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US.
>> Stephen: I WOULD-- I WOULD STILL BUY 29.
>> WOULD YOU?
OH, OKAY.
>> Stephen: YOU COULD STILL PLAY 29.
NOW, YOU GOT YOURSELF A PRESENT, AND I UNDERSTAND IT DIDN'T WORK
OUT EXACTLY THE WAY YOU HAD ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
>> YEAH, NO.
>> Stephen: WHO ARE WE SEEING HERE?
>> THAT'S DIAMOND.
I CALL HER MY STRIPPER HORSE.
SHE WAS NAMED THAT WHEN I GOT HER.
I WAS HAVING, YOU KNOW, A BIT OF A MOMENT ABOUT TURNING 30.
I GOT, LIKE, PROBABLY 19 OR 10 TATTOOS AND A HORSE, AND I --
>> Stephen: DID YOU REALLY GET SOME INK?
>> YES, I DID, I DID.
>> Stephen: YOU GOT SOME INK.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
>> IT WAS JUST-- IT WAS KIND OF LIKE AN IDENTITY CRISIS-- I BOAT
A BELLYBUTTON RING I HAVE SINCE TAKEN OUT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
BUT THE POINT IS THE HORSE.
THAT'S THE THING THAT'S REALLY-- I RODE HORSES, LIKE, GROWING UP,
BUT NOT ENOUGH TO GET ONE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S NOT A SMART IDEA.
>> Stephen: YOU NEVER HAD A HORSE BEFORE.
>> NO, NEVER OWNED A HORSE BEFORE.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TRAIN THEM.
AND THESE HORSE PEOPLE ARE LIKE --
>> Stephen: DO YOU LIVE IN AN APARTMENT.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE BRINGING THE HORSE UP THERE YOU WITH YOU.
>> I WAS GOING TO BOARD HER SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA THAT WAS
CLOSE BY.
ANYWAY, HORSE PEOPLE, THEY'RE LIKE, DON'T GO WITH SOMEBODY WHO
HAS NVER RIDDEN BEFORE TO BUY YOUR FIRST HORSE.
DON'T GET A HORSE THAT'S PRETTY AND CHEAP, EVERYONE WILL--"
WHATEVER.
I DIDN'T LISTEN.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: SO YOU WENT WITH
SOMEBODY-- >> I FOUND HER ONLINE.
>> Stephen: YOU BOUGHT A HORSE ON ETSY!
FROM ZAPPOS!
FREE DELIVERY?
>> SHE WAS DELIVERED IN A BIG, BIG BOX.
>> Stephen: A LOT OF PACKING PEANUTS.
SO YOU BOUGHT A HORSE ONLINE.
>> NO, I FOUND HER ONLINE, AND THEN I DROVE UP TO CORONA.
I RODE HER A LITTLE.
I WALKED ON HER.
GREAT, PERFECT.
SHE'S CHEAP.
SHE'S PRETTY.
SHE'S MINE.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> I GOT CASH FROM THE A.T.M.
I LITERALLY GIVE IT TO THIS WOMAN.
IT WAS A BIG RUSH.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A CHEAP HORSE.
YOU GOT CASH FROM AN A.T.M.WITH THE DO YOU TAKE QUARTERS?
CAN I PAY YOU IN CAMEL CASH."
>> SHE WAS NAY RUSH TO SELL THIS HORSE BECAUSE THERE WAS A HIGH
DEMAND FOR HER.
>> Stephen: YES, WHEN SOMETHING IS OF HIGH DEMAND
YOU'RE REALLY EAGER TO GET RID OF IT FOR A REALLY LOW PRICE.
THAT'S HOW ECONOMICS WORKS.
GO AHEAD.
YES, GO AHEAD.
SHE CERTAINLY IS BEAUTIFUL.
>> IT MADE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE.
ANYWAY, I GOT HER BACK TO THE BARN.
SHE WAS CRAZY.
I THINK THEY DRUGGED HER WHEN I MET HER.
IT WAS JUST-- YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU HAD A DRUGGED HORSE?
>> NO, NO, IT HAD WORN OFF BY THE TIME SHE GOT TO THE BARN SO
SHE WAS OFF THE WALLS.
>> Stephen: A WILD HORSE.
>> I DON'T THINK SHE HAD BEEN RIDDEN MUCH.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP LIKE?
>> WE'VE GROWN.
WE'VE REALLY GROWN.
I GOT IA TRAINER FOR HER.
DON'T WORRY, HORSE PEOPLE, I DIDN'T TRY TO TRAIN HER MYSELF.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO POINT OUT YOU ARE NOT SHOWN RIDING
THIS HORSE.
>> NO, I SWEAR I SENT PICTURES OF ME RIDING.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE ACTUALLY RIDING THIS HORSE.
>> I AM, ACTUALLY.
SHE'S GREAT.
WE TROT.
WE CANTOR.
HER STEERING IS IT ON POINT.
>> Stephen: FANTASTIC.
>> IT TOOK A LONG TIME.
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: I BET THE HORSE TURNED OUT TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE
THAN YOU THOUGHT.
>> 100%.
MAYBE, LIKE, QUADRUPLE THE PRICE OF WHAT SHE ORIGINALLY WAS AND
DOUBLE THE PRICE OF A HORSE THAT WAS JUST TRAINED, YOU KNOW, WHEN
I PURCHASED IT.
GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
>> Stephen: IT IS.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOUR 40th BIRTHDAY, GET YOURSELF SOMETHING REALLY NICE.
>> ELEPHANT?
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
YOU HAVE A NEW MOVIE.
( APPLAUSE ) THE NEW MOVIE IS CALLED "SMILE."
AND THE ADS ARE TERRIFYING.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN TELL ME-- ARE YOU GOIN TO GIVE TOO MUCH
AWAY OR CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT'S
HAPPENING?
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IF SOMEBODY SMILES AT YOU, YOU'RE
DEAD.
>> I JUST DON'T WANT TO RUIN IT BECAUSE IT IS REALLY
UNEXPECTED-- BASICALLY, NO.
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU TOO MUCH.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT TO ASSUME IT'S NOT A GOOD THING
WHEN SOMEONE SMILES WITH EYES THAT ARE, LIKE, DEAD, YOU
KNOW...
>> Stephen: YES, THAT'S NEVER A VERY GOOD IDEA.
WE HAVE A CLIP HERE.
DO YOU NEED TO SET THIS UP?
BECAUSE-- WHAT DO THEY NEED TO KNOW TO BE BE TERRIFIED HERE.
>> GOT IT.
ROSE IS MY CHARACTER.
SHE IS A PSYCHIATRIST WHO WORKS IN THE EMERGENCY PSYCHIATRIC
UNIT OF A HOSPITAL.
>> Stephen: YES.
>> AND SHE'S EXPERIENCED TRAUMA AS A KID.
YOU KIND OF FIND THAT OUT.
AND THEN SHE SEES SOMETHING HORRIFIC, AND IT FORCES HER TO
FACE THAT TRAUMA SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO AVOID.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
>> Stephen: YES, AND THERE'S A SMILE SOMEHOW INVOLVED IN IT.
>> I CAN'T -- >> Stephen: BUT IT'S IN THE
DAMN TRAILER!
YOU'RE TALK, YOU'RE A THERAPIST TALKING TO YOUR THERAPIST ABOUT
THE TRAUMA THAT YOU'VE EXPERIENCED.
JIM.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY IS THERE.
>> I'M PRETTY SURE MY FIANCE THINKS I'M CRAZY.
MY SISTER HAS JUST TOTALLY SHUT ME OUT.
AND NOW, MY FORMER THERAPIST IS MAKING UNANNOUNCED HOUSE CALLS
TO ENSURE THAT I AM NOT A DANGER.
SO...
OTHER THAN, THAT I'M REALLY GOOD.
( PHONE RINGING ) >> THIS YOU GET THAT?
>> WHAT?
>> ROSE?
IT'S MADELYN.
I'VE BEEN TRYING YOUR MOBILE ALL MORNING.
I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW WE LEFT THINGS YESTERDAY.
ROSE?

DO YOU HAVE A CREEPY SMILE?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: I HAVE A CREEPY SMILE.
DO YOU WANT TO COMPARE CREEPY SMILES?
>> ON THREE.

>> OH, THAT ONE?
>> Stephen: ONE, TWO, THREE...
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> YOURS IS REALLY GOOD!
>> Stephen: THANK YOU.
>> YOU'VE GOT TEETH SHOWING AND EVERYTHING.
>> Stephen: I DO HAVE TEETH SHOWING.
IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I DO WHEN I SMILE.
YOU HAVE LOVELY TEETH.
YOU HAVE MUCH NICER TEETH THAN I DO.
>> WELL, I MEAN-- REALLY.
>> Stephen: YES.
WHAT I WILL NOT SAY TO A WOMAN IS, "YOU SHOULD SMILE MORE."
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: SOSIE IT WAS LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU FOR TERRIFYING US.
