BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT. TWITTER HAS LOCKED HIS ACCOUNT
OVER TWEETS THAT IT DEEMED ANTI-SEMITIC.
>> HE SPARKED BOTH OUTRAGE AND PRAISE FOR DEBUTING HIS "WHITE
LIVES MATTER" SHIRT AT HIS PARIS FASHION WEEK SHOW, AND HE GOT
SOME BACKLASH FOLLOWING A SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH TUCKER
CARLSON LAST WEEK. >> YOU KNOW, I FELT LIKE THE
PEOPLE AT THE GAP KNEW ABOUT THE SCHOOL SHOOTING THAT MATTHEW
MCCONAUGHEY WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENED.
AND THEN I HEARD ABOUT IT ON THE RADIO DRIVING.
AND I WAS LIKE, AM I ON THE TRUMAN SHOW?
HAVE I REACHED ALEX JONES TERRITORY YET?

TONIGHT: A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED BORDER.
PLUS, STEPHEN WELCOMES: COLLIN FARRELL
AND BRENDAN GLEESON AND COMEDIAN PAUL MERCURIO
FEATURING LOUIS CATO AND THE LATE SHOW BAND.
AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN NEW YORK
CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
♪ ♪ ♪ ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: NICELY DONE. >> Audience: STEPHEN!
STEPHEN! STEPHEN!
STEPHEN. >> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HAPPY MONDAY. HAPPY MONDAY.
WELCOME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT. I HOPE--
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WEEKEND.
I HAD A FANTASTIC WEEKEND. IT WAS EVIE AND MY 29th
ANNIVERSARY YESTERDAY. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
MADE SOUP.
WATCHED A MOVIE. YOU KNOW WHO DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD
WEEKEND? RUSSIAN PRESIDENT AND GUY
WORKING THE TELETHON WHO'S DEATHLY AFRAID OF PHONES,
VLADIMIR PUTIN. FRIDAY WAS PUTIN'S 70th
BIRTHDAY, AND UKRAINE GAVE HIM A REALLY SPECIAL GIFT-- THEY BLEW
UP THE BRIDGE CONNECTING RUSSIA TO CRIMEA!
BOOM! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
VLAD. THIS IS REALLY PERSONAL FOR
PUTIN. HE TOOK THIS REALLY PERSONALLY.
AFTER ILLEGALLY ANNEXING CRIMEA IN 2014, HE PERSONALLY ORDERED
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS $3.7 BILLION BRIDGE, AND OPENED
IT HIMSELF, DUBBING IT THE "BRIDGE OF DREAMS."
JUST LIKE THAT MOVIE. REMEMBER THIS FAMOUS SCENE?
>> IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL BLOW IT UP.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THIS BRIDGE IS
ALSO. WHO WAS THAT TALKING?
WHO WAS THAT? NEVER SEEN THAT MOVIE.
HEARD VERY GOOD THINGS. THIS BRIDGE ALSO HAS ENORMOUS
STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE, BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY DIRECT ROAD AND
RAIL ROUTE FROM MAINLAND RUSSIA TO CRIMEA, AND WITHOUT IT, THE
RUSSIAN MILITARY WILL BE SEVERELY LIMITED IN ITS ABILITY
TO BRING FUEL, EQUIPMENT, AND AMMUNITION TO RUSSIAN UNITS.
HEY, RUSSIAN TROOPS, GOOD LUCK GETTING YOUR SINGLE RUSTY RIFLE
AND A BASKET OF SHARPENED TURNIPS NOW!
( APPLAUSE ) ( APPLAUSE )
I DON'T KNOW. IT'S ESPECIALLY EMBARRASSING
BECAUSE THE KREMLIN HAS LONG BRAGGED ABOUT THE BRIDGE'S
INVINCIBILITY, BECAUSE IT WAS GUARDED BY FIGHTER JETS,
DIVERS, AND-- THIS IS TRUE-- FIGHTING DOLPHINS.
( LAUGHTER ) MARINE CORPS.
( LAUGHTER ) EE-EE-EE-EE-EE-EEEEE!
( APPLAUSE ) ( APPLAUSE )
THAT WAS MY-- EEEE! UNFORTUNATELY FOR RUSSIA, THE
BRIDGE WAS TAKEN DOWN BY A TRUCK BOMB, WHICH SOMEHOW EVADED
RUSSIA'S CRACK SQUAD OF DOLPHIN TRUCKERS.
( LAUGHTER ) A SERIES OF TERRORIST MISSILE
ATTACKS AGAINST UKRAINIAN CIVILIAN TARGETS.
BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE, BECAUSE-- AND I WANT EVERYONE TO
BREATHE, STAY CALM WHEN I SAY THIS-- PUTIN HAS NUKES.
IN FACT, THURSDAY NIGHT, BIDEN WARNED THAT WE PRESENTLY FACE
THE MOST SERIOUS "PROSPECT OF ARMAGEDDON SINCE KENNEDY AND
THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS." THAT IS SCARY.
JOE BETTER GET THOSE NUCLEAR CODES BACK FROM MAR-A-LAGO.
( APPLAUSE ) IS THAT WHERE THEY ARE?
IT'S NOT REASSURING. THE LAST WEEK THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SPENT $290 MILLION ON A DRUG TO TREAT
RADIATION SICKNESS, WHICH THEY CLAIM IS COINCIDENTAL.
YEAH. YEAH, SOUNDS SO COINCIDENTAL.
IT'S LIKE SAYING, "YEAH, A LOT OF BEEFY MEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
HAVE DISAPPEARED WITH NO TRACE. ANYWAY, WHO WANTS MEAT PIES?
I HAVE A SUSPICIOUS AMOUNT." NUCLEAR WAR-- I KNOW IT'S A DARK
JOKE. IT'S A VERY DARK JOKE.
BUT THESE ARE THE TIMES WE LIVE IN.
NUCLEAR WAR ISN'T THE ONLY THING ON BIDEN'S MIND.
THE NEXT DAY, HE WENT TO MARYLAND TO GIVE A SPEECH ABOUT
THE ECONOMY, AND HERE'S HOW THAT WENT.
>> LET ME START OFF WITH TWO WORDS: MADE IN AMERICA.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I HAVE TWO WORDS FOR
YOU: "WHAT THE (BLEEP)?" ( LAUGHTER )
AND NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I REGRET TO INFORM YOU ONCE AGAIN
IT IS TIME TO TALK ABOUT WRAP RAPPER AND ALSO REYNOLD RAPPER,
KANYE WEST. FOR YEARS, WEST HAS BEEN SLOWLY
DESCENDING INTO MAGA MADNESS, AND THIS WEEKEND, AFTER YEARS OF
SILENCE ON TWITTER, HE RETURNED TO THE APP AND TWEETED DEATH
THREATS AT JEWISH PEOPLE IN GENERAL, THEN MIDTWEET, SEEMING
TO SENSE THE BACKLASH, TRIED TO RATIONALIZE HIS
ANTI-SEMITISM BY PRE-BUTTING: "THE FUNNY THING IS I ACTUALLY
CAN'T BE ANTI-SEMITIC BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY JEW."
AH, YES, THE CLASSIC EXCUSE OF "I CAN'T BE ANTISEMITIC.
SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE JEWISH.
AND SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE ME.
AND ME HAVE SOME INTERESTING IDEAS ABOUT JEW."
( LAUGHTER ) YOU'RE THINKING STEVE, KANYE'S
BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY FOR A WHILE.
THIS VILE ACT OF ANTI-SEMITISM IS SOMETHING ANYONE WITH A BRAIN
COULD SEE COMING, WHICH IS WHY SO MANY ON THE RIGHT CHOSE NOT
TO SEE THIS COMING, INCLUDING THE G.O.P. HOUSE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE, WHICH LAST WEEK, AFTER YE WORE A T-SHIRT THAT
SAID "WHITE LIVES MATTER," TWEETED:
"KANYE. ELON. THE FORMER "KANYE. ELON. THE FORMER
PRESIDENT." WHAT IS, "THREE PEOPLE I WOULD
TRAP IN A PORTA POTTY AND ROLL IT DOWN A HILL?"
( LAUGHTER ) ( DING )
IT WASN'T JUST G.O.P. CONGRESSPEOPLE WHO EMBRACED YE.
IT WAS ALSO THE LEADER OF THE PARTY, TUCKER CARLSON.
LAST WEEK, "ER" HAD YE ON FOR AN INTERVIEW TO TALK ABOUT HOW IT
FEELS TO BE A PERSECUTED MAGA REPUBLICAN.
>> IT DROVE ME CRAZY TO NOT BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I LIKED TRUMP.
THINK ABOUT IT. IT'S ME.
IMAGINE ME NOT BEING ABLE TO SAY WHAT I WANTED.
>> Stephen: OKAY, HOLD IT. LET ME IMAGINE IT.
( APPLAUSE ) OOO.
I GOT-- I GOT CHILLS. EVERYTHING-- EVERYTHING FEELS SO
GOOD. I'M SORRY, WHAT'D YOU SAY?
NOTHING? AHHH.
( APPLAUSE ) THAN THE WEEKEND "FOX &
FRIENDS," WHO SAID THIS AFTER AFTER, I WANT TO POINT OUT,
AFTER KANYE HAD TWEETED DEATH THREATS AT ALL JEWISH PEOPLE.
>> WELL, THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT KANYE, OR YE, WAS GOING TO
HAVE TO BE TAKEN DOWN AFTER WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TUCKER CARLSON
INTERVIEW AFTER WEARING THAT SHIRT.
THE TARGET IS OVER HIM. >> JUST TOTALLY UNSURPRISING.
YOU COULD SEE IT COMING FROM A MILE AWAY.
THIS GUY WILL BE THE TARGET OF BIG TECH BECAUSE HE'S TOO
DANGEROUS, TOO MUCH OF A FREE THINKER.
>> Stephen: YES, YE'S A FREE THINKER.
ONLY SOMEONE COMPLETELY FREE OF THOUGHT WOULD CALL THIS A SHOE.
BUT LATER IN THAT VERY SAME SHOW, THE "FOX & FRIENDS"
FINALLY DECIDED TO READ ABOUT THE THING THEY WERE COMPLAINING
ABOUT ON TV. AND LET'S SAY, I HOPE THEY
DIDN'T PULL A HAMMY BACK-PEDALING THIS FAST:
>> UNFORTUNATE. >> PRETTY UGLY.
>> IT'S UGLY, YEAH. >> WE TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER
WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT THESE TWEETS AND SAYING, OF COURSE,
THEY'RE GOING TO PUT A TARGET-- AFTER WHAT HE SAID WITH TUCKER,
THERE'S GOING TO BE A TARGET ON HIM ,NO DOUBT.
BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, I MEAN, HE BROUGHT THE TARGET.
>> Stephen: AH-AH-AH! KANYE IS YOUR FREE THINKER!
YOU THREW A PITY PARTY AND INVITED THE GUY WHO ALWAYS POOPS
IN THE PUNCH BOWL. NOW YOU GOTTA DRINK IT!
L'CHAIM! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
OVER THE WEEKEND FEATURING PENNSYLVANIA SENATE CANDIDATE
AND STRIP CLUB PATRON WHO'S CLEARLY FORGOTTEN THE GIRLS ARE
PAID TO TALK TO HIM, DR. OZ. LAST WEEK AT A FUNDRAISER, OZ'S
CAMPAIGN HAD A MESSAGING ISSUE WHEN HE DELIVERED A SPEECH IN
FRONT OF ADOLF HITLER'S CAR. THAT IS HORRIBLE, BUT IT DOES
EXPLAIN HIS CAMPAIGN SLOGAN: "OZ FOR A NEW GERMANY,"
"I MEAN NEW JERSEY. I MEAN PENNSYLVANIA!
GO EAGLES! BUT NOT THE HITLER ONE!"
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
THE EVENT OCCURRED AT THE HOME OF HITLER'S CAR, THE LYON AIR
MUSEUM IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. OKAY, COUPLE OF PROBLEMS.
FIRST, HITLER. SECOND, "AIR MUSEUM"?
CARS DON'T FLY. UNLESS IT WAS THESTAR OF THE
ILL-ADVISED CHILDREN'S MOVIE, "NAZI, NAZI, BANG, BANG."
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT.
MY GUESTS ARE COLIN FARRELL AND BRENDAN GLEESON, AND COMEDIAN
PAUL MECURIO. BUT WHEN WE COME BACK,
"MEANWHILE!" JOIN US.
( APPLAUSE ) BAND, EVERYBODY, LOUIS CATO AND
THE LATE SHOW BAND, RIGHT THERE, Y'ALL.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> Louis: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: HAPPY MONDAY. HAPPY MONDAY.
DID YOU HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND? >> I DID, DID YOU.
>> Stephen: IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THIS WEEKEND.
AND EVIE AND I DID MAKE SOUP FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY.
>> Louis: THAT'S AWESOME. >> Stephen: AND HERE'S THE
THING-- WE WERE LIKE, WE'LL GO OUT TO DINNER, RESERVATIONS, AND
THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, WE HAD SOME PLANS, AND
THEN I MADE THIS SOUP AND I SAID, "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?"
AND SHE SAID, "WHY DON'T WE JUST EAT THAT SOUP AND WATCH A
MOVIE." AND I WENT, "THAT'S WHY I
MARRIED YOU." THAT'S WHEN IT'S WORKING.
THAT IS-- THAT IS ( APPLAUSE )
ANSWER. I GOT FANTASTIC GUESTS TONIGHT
WITH A MOVIE THAT WE WATCHED, ACTUALLY, WAS "THE BANSHEES OF
INISHERIN." WHICH IS THE NEW MOVIE WITH
COLIN FARRELL AND BRENDAN GLEASON WHO ARE MY GUESTS
TONIGHT. UNBELIEVABLE YOU'LL LAUGH,
YOU'LL CRY, YOU'LL LAUGH AGAIN. IT'S SO IRISH.
IT'S FUNNY AND IT'S SAD, IT'S FUNNY ABOUT BEING SAD.
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY MARTIN McDONOUGH.
AND THEY'LL BE OUT HERE IN A MOMENT, HOPEFULLY TO MAKE US ALL
CRY. FOLKS, I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME
RIGHT OVER THERE, SURVEYING THE RAW LANDSCAPE OF NEWS, THEN
CAREFULLY CARVING IT UP INTO THE NEWSIEST LANDFORMS, DAMMING IT'S
NATURAL WATER SEEPS TO CREATE THE MOST TOPICAL ARTIFICIAL
STORY LAKES, THEN ADDING MEADOWS AND PLAYGROUNDS TO UNVEIL FOR
NATURAL HERITAGE-PROTECTED NEW HERITAGE-PROTECTED NEW YORK CITY
CENTRAL PARK THAT IS MY MONOLOGUE.
BUT SOMETIMES, JUST SOMETIMES, FOLKS, I CRASH A STOLEN TANKER
OF FOUR LOKO INTO A FROG POND OFF I-95, THEN TRY TO COVER MY
TRACKS BY BURNING IT OFF WITH FACTORY-REJECT FIREWORKS BEFORE
BACKFILLING THE WHOLE MESS WITH A TRUCKLOAD OF USED BATTERIES TO
CREATE THE OUTLAW SUPERFUND SITE OF NEWS THAT IS MY SEGMENT:
>> MEANWHILE! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
IT'S THE OPIATE OF THE MASSES IS WHAT IT IS.
A NEW STUDY SAYS DUE TO TECTONIC SHIFTING, THE ATLANTIC OCEAN IS
SHRINKING BY AN INCH EVERY YEAR. WELL, OF COURSE IT LOOKS
SMALLER! THAT OCEAN WATER'S COLD!
MEANWHILE-- REALLY? OKAY, OKAY.
MEANWHILE, THE GERMAN CANDY COMPANY LIDL WAS ORDERED TO
DESTROY GOLD CHOCOLATE BUNNIES AFTER IT LOST A COPYRIGHT CASE
WITH LINDT. LINDT CLAIMED THAT LIDL'S
CHOCOLATE BUNNIES MATCH THE SHAPE AND FEATURES OF THEIR OWN
CANDIES. SO, IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING
ACCUSED OF MAKING CHOCOLATE BUNNIES, LIDL IS INTRODUCING
THEIR BRAND-NEW PRODUCT THE CHOCOLATE DUCK.
( LAUGHTER ) THERE IT IS.
YOU MAY BE SEEING A BUNNY, BUT LEGALLY IT'S A DUCK.
( LAUGHTER ) BREAK FOR COVID, TRADER JOE'S IS
FINALLY BRINGING BACK FREE SAMPLES!
YEAH! COME ON!
( APPLAUSE ) JUST DRANK ONE OUNCE OF COFFEE.
( LAUGHTER ) HVAC INSTALLATIONS AND
SPECULATIVE DENTAL SOLUTIONS" SOMETIMES GET SO MUCH SUPER
MARIO NEWS THAT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO COVER IT IN OUR
MARIO-ONLY MEANWHILE SUBSEGMENT:
"IT'S-A-MEAN-A-WHIL-A." ( APPLAUSE )
IT'S-A-MEAN-A-WHIL-A, THEY RELEASED THE FIRST POSTER FOR
THE NEW "SUPER MARIO BROTHERS" MOVIE, AND NOW FANS ARE ASKING
NINTENDO TO FIX THE PLUMBER'S FLAT BUTT.
OKAY, WELL, THIS IS HOW BIG HIS BUTT IS IN THE GAMES.
SO HOW FLAT COULD HIS NEW BUTT POSSIBLY--
OKAY! I GET IT. WHERE DID IT GO?
HOW HARD IS HE CLENCHING?!
I THINK I KNOW WHERE HE KEEPS THOSE COINS.
BESIDES MISSING MARIO'S LOVELY LADY-LUMPS, FANS WERE QUICK TO
POINT OUT THAT "MARIO WOULD BARELY BE ABLE TO JUMP THREE
FEET WITH HIS CURRENT DESIGN, SO A REDESIGN IS NECESSARY TO
ENSURE HIS ACTIONS IN THE MOVIE ARE REALISTIC."
YES, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS FIRE-SHOOTING ITALIAN WHO EATS
MUSHROOMS TO DOUBLE HIS SIZE SO HE CAN FLY WITH HIS RACCOON TAIL
TO SAVE A PRINCESS FROM MARRYING AN EVIL TALKING
DINOSAUR-TURTLE... BE REALISTIC.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) CHARACTER'S PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES
AREN'T THE FANS' BIGGEST COMPLAINT.
MARIO IS BEING VOICED BY CHRIS PRATT, AND THE TRAILER REVEALED
THAT CHRIS PRATT SOUNDS LIKE JUST A DUDE, WITH NO ACCENT.
YOU CAN'T DO MARIO WITHOUT AN ITALIAN ACCENT!
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW HE'S FROM JAPAN?
( LAUGHTER ) FARRELL AND BRENDAN GLEESON.
( APPLAUSE ) EVERYBODY,INGS WELCOME BACK TO
"THE LATE SHOW." WITH ME.
MY FIRST GUESTS ARE ACCLAIMED IRISH ACTORS WHO FIRST
CO-STARRED IN 2008'S "IN BRUGES."
THEY'VE NOW RETEAMED FOR "THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN."
>> NOW, IF I'VE DONE SOMETHING TO YOU, JUST TELL ME WHAT I'VE
DONE TO YOU. AND IF I SAID SOMETHIG TO YOU,
MAYBE I SAID SOMETHING WHEN I WAS DRUNK AND I'VE FORGOTTEN IT.
IF I DID SAY SOMETHING WHEN I WAS DRUNK AND FORGOTTEN IT,s
I'D SAY SORRY. JUST STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM ME
LIKE SOME FOOL OF A MOODY SCHOOL CHILD.
>> BUT YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO ME.
YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO ME. >> WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WAS
THINKING. LIKE...
>> I JUST DON'T LIKE YOU NO MORE.
>> YOU DO LIKE ME. >> I DON'T.
>> YOU LIKED ME YESTERDAY. >> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME COLIN
FARRELL AND BRENDAN GLEESON. ♪ ♪ ♪
( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERING )
YOU GUYS HERE. >> IT'S FANTASTIC TO BE HERE.
>> Stephen: I WAS SAYING TO THE AUDIENCE AND SAYING TO LOUIS
EARLIER JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL AND AFFECTING THIS MOVIE IS.
IT'S JUST EXTRAORDINARY. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO
THINKS SO. IT PREMIERED AT THE VENICE FILM
FESTIVAL. IT GOT ONE OF THE LONGEST
STANDING OVATION. IT GOT A 15-MINUTE STANDING
OVATION. WHAT'S THAT LIKE?
>> TIRING. >> Stephen: REALLY?
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR 15 MINUTES. >> I TRIED TO LEAVE AT ABOUT THE
SEVENTH MINUTE I THINK IS WHEN MY EGO FELT GOOD ENOUGH THAT I'D
HAD ENOUGH. I TRIED TO LEAVE, AND THEY SAID
YOU CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL EVERYONE STOPS CLAPPING.
>> I WAS MORTIFIED, FRANKLY. ABOUT-- YOU KNOW, IN AROUND THE
SAME TIME IT STARTED TO GET, THIS WAS AMAZING-- IT IS
AMAZING. WHAT WAS LOVELY IS IT WAS ALL
HEART. THERE WERE SUBTITLES ON THE
MOVIE. SOME OF THE GUYS COULD HAVE DONE
WITH SOME SUBTITLES, BUT THIS WAS GOING INTO ITALIAN AND THEY
WERE LAUGHING AND KIND OF RESPONDING AS IT WAS GOING ON.
THE OVATION FELT HEARTFELT. BUT AFTER A WHILE ENOUGH-- I
MEAN, IT'S OKAY. THEY LET YOU OFF THE HOOK.
>> I WAS SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS I WAS TOLD THAT WAS BREAKING THE
( BLEEP ) RULES. >> WE LOOKED ACROSS AT MARTIN
McDONAGH, AND HE SAID I LOVE IT.
HE COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT. >> Stephen: THIS IS HIS TIME
TO SHINE. THE DIRECTOR IS ALWAYS GOING,
"THIS IS ALL ME, ANYWAY." >> I DID A PHOTO SHOOT TODAY AND
HE WAS DOING MAJOR BLUE STEEL AND HE SAID THE EXACT SAME THING
HIMSELF. AND HE SAID IT'S THE ONLY TIME I
GET TO-- >> POSE.
>> Stephen: WELL, IT'S A-- IT'S A-- YOU KNOW, AS I SAID TO
YOUR SON THE OTHER DAY, ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE
IRISH IS A LOT OF WORK THAT YOU SEE THE, THE IRISH PEOPLE WRITE
OR PERFORM THEY'RE FUNNY AND THEY'RE SCPAD THEY'RE FUNNY
ABOUT BEING SAD. AND THIS IS A DARKLY FUNNY MOVIE
ABOUT HEARTBREAK. THESE TWO DEAR FRIENDS, AND AS
WE SAW-- THIS IS RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE.
WE'RE NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY WITH THE CLIP.
RIGHT OFF THE TOP-- >> SPOILER ALERT-- HE'S MEAN TO
ME. >> Stephen: YES, YES.
YOUR CHARACTER DECIDES YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK WITH HIM ANYMORE,
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE FRIEND WITH HIM ANYMORE.
>> I-- >> WHY WAS THAT?
>> I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE, REALLY.
>> Stephen: YES. >> I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
HE'S WRECKING MY HEAD. >> Stephen: KIND OF.
THERE'S A MYSTERY THERE FOR THE AUDIENCE, AT LEAST, AS TO WHY
THIS IS GOING ON. AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS, YOU
GUYS-- ARE YOUEGUYS, AFTER DO YOU GUYS HANG OUT?
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> I LOVE HIM.
HE'S PLY FRIEND. >> Stephen: DID YOU METHOD ACT
THIS ONE. DID YOU NOT HANG OUT?
>> WE HAD A CHAT THE FIRST DAY OF REHEARSAL.
I HAVE SEEN BRANDON PERIODICALLY THROUGH THE YEARS, AND I HAD A
VERY DEEP LOVE FOR HIM, AND I KNEW THESE CHARACTERS HAVING
READ THE SCRIPT, IMPRESSIVE, AND I KNEW WE WERE GOING TO BE AT
LOGGERHEADS, AND WITH RESPECT TO HOW DEEP HE GOES INTO THE WORK,
HE REALLY DOES GO DEEP AND ASKS THE QUESTIONS.
AND I GO SOMEWHERE MYSELF. I TALK.
>> GEEZ, I WONDER IF HE WILL WANT TO KEEP A DISTANCE.
AND HE WAS ALL OVER ME THE FIRST DAY.
>> IT WAS FUNNY. THE TWO OF US WE WENT IN AND I
SAID, "LISTEN, DO YOU NEED TO KIND OF KEEP THIS GOING-- TO GO
WHEREVER YOU NEED TO GO?" AND THERE WAS A LITTLE PAUSE,
AND-- BECAUSE HE LOOKED OVER AT ME TO SEE IF I NEEDED TO DO IT.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WAS ASKING FOR ME OR ASKING FOR
HIMSELF. >> I WAS REALLY ASKING FOR
MYSELF. AND SIMULTANEOUS THE TWO OF US
JUST SAID, NO. WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT, DO WE?
>> GIVE US A HUG. GLAD WE GOT THAT OUT OF THE WAY.
>> Stephen: A LITTLE LESS FUN. ( APPLAUSE )
>> IT WAS REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY. HE WAS GOING TO THE THING IF YOU
OFFER THE BREAKUP, THE PERSON WON'T TAKE IT.
>> IT WAS SUCH A RELIEF, THOUGH, BECAUSE WE HAVE A SIMILARLY
THING ON "IN BRUGS" BECAUSE HE HAD A BURDEN TO CARRY.
AND WE WERE LOOKING FOR THINGS TO DO THAT WAS FUNNY.
AND THERE WAS A DARKNESS THAT HAD TO HAPPEN FOR HIM AND IT
DID. IT WAS AN ODD KIND OF MIX.
IT NEEDED TO BE GUARDED. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
WE WERE SO LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
YOU READ THE SCRIPT AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY SINGING AND YOU SAY,
YEAH, BUT-- >> STRANGELY, WE WEREN'T-- WE
WEREN'T-- WE DIDN'T DO TOO MUCH IN THIS FILM.
THERE ARE A LOT OF YOU WITH THE PRIEST, THERE WAS A LOT OF STUFF
WE WERE NOT TOGETHER. WHEN WE ARE IT'S VERY
CONSEQUENTIAL. BUT "BRUGES" FELT LIKE A
TWO-HANDER. IT WAS ABOUT TWO LADS FALLING IN
LOVE IN "BRUGES AND IT'S THE DISSOLUTION OF LOVE, WHICH IS
CRUSHING FOR MY CHARACTER, AND ULTIMATELY CRUSHING FOR YOURS,
EVEN THOUGH YOU THREW-- >> ABSOLUTELY.
AND IT'S TYPICAL OF MARTIN-- >> NO ONE GETS LET OFF.
>> HE LEAVES SPACE WITHIN THE THING FOR PEOPLE BECAUSE HE
KNEW, I THINK, LIKE EVERYBODY IN THE CAST, IT'S A SENSATIONAL
CAST, AND HE HAD WORKED WITH EVERYBODY BEFORE,.
>> Stephen: KERRY CONDON. >> KERRY IS BRILLIANT.
>> SHE IS AMAZING. >> ISN'T SHE?
>> YEAH, AMAZING. AND THERE REALLY IS EYE FOUND IT
HARD NOT TO GET EMOTIONAL AT PARTICULAR POINTS IN THE STORY
WITH HER. AND JUST WATCHING IT, NEVER
MIND-- IT WAS JUST FANTASTIC. BUT MARTIN TENDS, AT THIS POINT,
HE HAD WORKED WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE AND KNEW WHAT THEY WOULD
BRING AND HE LEAVES SPACE FOR IT IN A WAY THAT'S QUITE
REMARKABLE. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK I WILL ASK
COLIN AND BRENDAN ABOUT A SPECIAL COSTAR OF THEIRS.
STICK AROUND.
>> Stephen: WE'RE BACK WITH COLIN FARRELL, AND BRENDAN
GLEESON, THE STARS OF "THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN."
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE OTHER CHARACTERS, WHICH IS INISHERIN,
A CHARACTER, THE PLACE IS. IT'S AN IMAGINARY ISLAND.
IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST, BUT IT WAS SHOT IN THE ARYAN
ISLANDS, RIGHT. >> WE SHOT IN INISHERIN ISLAND,
AND ACHILL ISLAND. >> Stephen: HAD YOU LIVED IN
THAT REMOTE AREA BEFORE? YOU'RE BOTH FROM DUBLIN.
>> WE HAVE A PLACE OUT WEST. >> I GO OUT WEST A LOT.
I FIND IT'S KIND OF LIFE BLOOD BLOODIN A WAY.
AND I'VE BEEN ON INISHERIN BEFORE, AND ACHILL NOT SO MUCH.
I HAD BEEN IN ICHIL BUT I HAD NOT SEEN IT BECAUSE IT WAS MIST
AND RAIN. WHEN I SAW IT, IT WAS
JAW-DROPPING TO SEE THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL LOCATIONS WE WERE
GOING. >> SO BEAUTIFUL.
>> AND WE WERE LAUGHING ABOUT IT EARLIER.
WHEN MARTIN PUT THE PUB ON A PLACE THAT IS ON THE EDGE OF THE
WORLD, AND MY ONLY REACTION WAS CONGRATULATIONS.
IT WAS LIKE-- >> HE DID, WHEN HE SAW THE SET
THE FIRST DAY, IT WAS LOVELY. HE WENT UP TO MARTIN AND SINCERE
SAID, "CONGRATULATIONS." AND IT SEEMED TOW FITTING
BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE THE BALLS OF MARTIN AND THE PRODUCTION
DESIGNER TO BUILD THIS PUB THAT IS NO LONGER THERE ON THIS BLUFF
20 FEET AWAY FROM THE FRONT DOOR WITH THE ATLANTIC AND DROP-OFF
AND CLIFFS AND WAVES COMING IN CONSTANTLY.
JUST OUTSIDE THE PUB DOOR, THE WAVES CRASHING DOWN.
IT'S LIKE THE WAVES AND OCEAN WERE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE INNER
TURMOIL THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY FELT.
A LOT OF THE FILM ABOUT OPPRESSION.
THE STUFF THAT IS KEPT DOWN. >> HE SHOT IT CINEMATICALLY, AND
IT WAS EPIC IN NATURE. EVERYTHING WAS AT THE EXTREME.
THE BEAUTY AND THE PLACE WAS EXTREME.
THE HURT THEN THAT APPEARED TO BE A SMALL HURT IN A SMALL STORY
IS ELEVATEED IN THE WAYS-- HE WAS LITERALLY PUSHING EVERYTHING
TO THE EDGE. AND WE NEARLY FELL OFF AT ONE
STAGE BECAUSE THERE WAS A STORM AND WE THOUGHT, OKAY, WE COULD
DO THE INSIDE IN THE PUB. BUT THE LIGHTS WERE BLOWING
HALFWAY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
YOU COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING BECAUSE THE RAIN WAS COMING
DOWN. BUT WE WITH GOT MAGNIFICENT
WEATHER. >> IT WAS LIKE GREEK ISLANDS
THAT SUMMER. IT WAS UNHEARD OF THE WEATHER WE
HAD. WE COULDN'T FIND LINE.
THE SUNSETS WERE INDIGO AND AMBER.
AND IT WAS JUST MAGNIFICENT. BUT THE PEOPLE OF PARTICULARLY
THE FIRST ISLAND WE WERE THERE FOR SIX OR SEVEN WEEKS, THE
PEOPLE OF INISHERIN, SEVEN 50 POPULATION YEAR ROUND YOU KNOW,
AND THEY JUST WELCOMED US INTO THEIR LIVES DAILY AND IT WAS SO
BEAUTIFUL. >> AND THE SAME WITH ACHILL.
THE PEOPLE WERE-- AND IT WAS ONE OF THE-- THE ONLY RESERVATIONS I
HAD WAS THAT BECAUSE INISHERIN IS NOT AN ISLAND, IT IS A
MYTHICAL ISLAND, IT IS A MYTH CALCON TEX THAT THE PEOPLE OF
THE ISLAND WE WERE ON THAT WOULD IN ANY WAY FEEL THAT WE WERE
TRYING TO MAKE SOME COMMENT ON WHERE WE WERE BECAUSE NOTHING
COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE WAY IT WAS.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WHERE A COMMON LITTLE SPIRIT AND ALL
THAT KIND OF STUFF WAS EVERY DAY.
>> YUP. >> AND WE'D SEE EACH OTHER
PASSING ON THE ROAD. >> SEE EACHING, "HEY, BRENDAN,
HEY, COLIN. OF IT WAS GREAT.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS ONE OTHER CHARACTER.
THE DONKEY. >> JENNY.
>> IS THAT THE CHARACTER'S NAME OR THE DONKEY'S.
>> ONE AND THE SAME. I COULDN'T SEPARATE THE TWO AT A
CERTAIN POINT. SHE WAS SO ON.
>> THIS IS YOUR DEAR FRIEND. >> WE'RE FRIENDS.
>> Stephen: THIS IS YOUR COMPANION IN THE MOVIE.
>> AND WE HAD A GOOD FRIENDSHIP UPON UP UNTIL A POINT.
>> Stephen: WHAT POINT? >> AND THEN-- AND THEN IT JUST,
YOU KNOW, KIND OF FELL APART ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE WAY OF
THE FILM. AND SHE STARTED, SHE WAS ALL--
>> IT TURNED OUT SHE DID NEED A LITTLE BIT OF SPACE.
( LAUGHTER ). ON THE ISLAND, AND, OBVIOUSLY,
JENNY THOUGHT SHE'D FILL THAT GAP.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: DID SHE KICK YOU?
>> SHE DID. >> Stephen: THERE ARE A LOT OF
ANIMALS IN THE FILM. >> SHE KICKED ME.
HIS DOG BIT ME. THERE'S A HORSE IN THE FILM THAT
TRIED TO REVERSE ME ON THE CART INTO THE ( BLEEP ) ATLANTIC
OCEAN. ( BLEEP ).
( BLEEP ).
I PUT THE "E" IN QUERY QUICKLY. >> Stephen: I'M GOING TO BE
VERY KURGS WHETHER CBS-- >> I THINK WE'RE ALREADY.
( BLEEP ). >> Stephen: WE'LL FIND OUT.
WE'LL FIND OUT. >> Stephen: LOVELY TO HAVE
YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE. "THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN" IS
IN THEATERS NEXT FRIDAY.
COLIN FARRELL AND BRENDON GLEESON, EVERYBODY!

>> THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
SO, PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME NOW AS A STAND-UP, IS IT HARD TO
DO STAND-UP THESE DAYS BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SO POLITICALLY
CORRECT? AND I THINK IT'S HARD TO LIVE
LIFE BECAUSE THINGS ARE SO POLITICALLY CORRECT.
I KNOW IN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS BUT I BELIEVE THE PENDULUM HAS
SWUNG A LITTLE WAY AND NEED TO COME BACK TO THE MIDDLE.
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO RELAX A LITTLE BIT.
MY WIFE AND I ARE WALKING OUR DOG IN CENTRAL PARK.
IT'S A LAW IN NEW YORK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE YOUR DOG ON A
LEASH, AND WE DID. A GUY'S DOG WASN'T ON THE LEASH,
BIG DOG, SCARING PEOPLE, AND MY WIFE SAID, "SIR, YOUR DOG SHOULD
BE ON A LEACH." AND THE GUY SAID, "WHY, BECAUSE
IT'S A PIT BULL?" IMPLYING WE WERE RACIST TOWARDS
PIT BULLS. I SAID, "NO, BECAUSE IT'S GOT A
BABY IN ITS MOUTH. THAT'S WHY."
( APPLAUSE ) AND IT'S SMOKING CHESTERFIELDS,
OKAY. ( LAUGHTER )
I SAID "CHESTERFIELDS." ( LAUGHTER ).
DO INNOCENT THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T DO ANY MORE.
EVERY HALLOWEEN, MY PARENTS WOULD DRESS ME AS A HOBO.
( LAUGHTER ) REMEMBER?
SOME OF YOU ARE NODDING YOUR HEAD, RIGHT, REMEMBER?
THEY DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT. YOU COULDN'T DO THAT NOW.
IT'S A HOMELESS PERSON. IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED
OFFENSIVE. I GET IT.
AND IT WAS WEIRD. THINK ABOUT IT,s OUR PARENTS
DRESSED US AS HOMELESS PEOPLE. AND SENT US OUT ON TO THE
STREETS AT NIGHT. TO COLLECT FREE FOOD!
( LAUGHTER ) AND I NEVER GOT CANDY.
EVERY HOUSE BAKED BEANS AND A HARMONICA.
THAT WAS IT. ( LAUGHTER )
STEREOTYPES? THEY'RE FINE.
OKAY. THEY MAKE US DIFFERENT, AND
THAT'S WHAT MAKES LIFE INTERESTING, OKAY.
IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON TO STEREOTYPE.
IT DOESN'T. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO RELAX.
I'M ITALIAN, 100% ITALIAN. WHEN YOU HEARD THAT YOU HAD A
STEREOTYPEICAL THOUGHT, YOU EITHER THOUGHT MAFIA OR PLASTIC
ON THE FURNITURE. YOU DID, YOU DID.
AND GUESS WHAT? FOR ME, THEY BOTH APPLY, AND
THAT'S OKAY. ( LAUGHTER )
THING IT'S, YOU KNOW, LOWER CLASS PEOPLE, THERE'S THAT ONE
ROOM WITH FURNITURE THAT'S REALLY NICE SO YOU CAN ONLY GO
IN TWICE A YEAR, RIGHT? MA'AM, YOU'RE NODDING YOUR HEAD.
YOU GO CHRISTMAS AND EASTER. THAT'S IT.
AND IN THAT SAME ROOM THERE'S A PICTURE OF THE POPE, JESUS, AND
FRANK SINATRA. ( APPLAUSE )
THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF THE POPE AND THE JESUS PICTURE.
AND THE MAFIA PART IS TRUE. MY COUSIN BOBBY IS A SMALL-TIME
MAFIA GUY, HE RUNS NUMBERS AND DRESSES LIKE JOHN TRAVOLTA IN
"SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER." SMOKING CIGARETTES ON THE
CORNER, HOW YOU DOING, HOW YOU DOING?
AND HE SELLS STUFF OUT OF THE TRUNK OF HIS CAR.
LAST WEEK, HE WAS SELLING SUITS, RATCHETS, AND CAR ALARMS.
( LAUGHTER ) CAR ALARMS HE STOLE OUT OF OTHER
PEOPLE'S CARS. ( APPLAUSE )
A GUIDO. THIS IS HOW HE CAME DRESSED TO
MY FATHER'S FUNERAL, AN OPEN-CASKET FUNERAL.
I NOM OF NOT MAKING THIS UP. FLUORESCENT ORANGE SILK SHIRT,
GOLD CHAINS, WHITE PATENT LEATHER BELTS AND WHITE SLACKS.
YOU GETTING THE PICTURE? A CREAMSICLE.
BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT POWDER ON YOUR FEET TO KEEP THEM DRY, BUT
BOBBY, PUT TOO MUCH POWDER ON THEM, SO EVERY TIME HE'D STEP
TOWARDS THE CASKET, PUFFS OF WHITE SMOKE WITHOUT COME OUT OF
THE TOPS OF HIS SHOES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY.

NOW, WE'VE GOT A FEW MINUTES HERE.
I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE INTRO HERE.
I'VE DONE YOUR PODCAST. DID YOU-- IS THAT TRUE, YOU HAD
PAUL McCARTNEY ON YOUR PODCAST IN.
>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN IS IT TRUE? YES.
>> Stephen: I HAVE HAD PAUL McCARTNEY ON ONCE.
>> I HAD HIM ON BECAUSE OF YOU. >> Stephen: WHY DID YOU HAVE
HIM BECAUSE OF ME. >> BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE
"COLBERT REPORT" AS A GUEST AND I GOT HIM THERE.
I'M LIKE THE LITTLE SHARK THAT SWIMS ON TOP OF THE BIG SHARK--
YOU. >> Stephen: WHAT WAS IT LIKE?
WHAT WAS IT LIKE GETTING McCARTNEY?
>> HE HAD JUST FINISHED REHEARSAL.
AND THAT BIG DOOR YOU GO THROUGH, I OPEN THAT HUGE DOOR,
AND STANDING IN THE HALLWAY ALL ALONE IS PAUL McCARTNEY
LEANING AGAINST THE WALL, CHEWING GUM, LOOKING UP AT THE
CEILING, CHEWING GUM LIKE HE'S WAITING FOR A BUS, ALL ALONE.
>> Stephen: IT'S JUST YOU AND McCARTNEY IN THE HALLWAY.
>> AND MY WHOLE WORLD SLOWS DOWN, OH, MY GOD.
IT'S PAUL McCARTNEY. AND I THINK SHOULD I SAY HI?
HE'S ALONE IN THE HALLWAY. I'M ALIVE.
I'M GOING TO POUNCE. I GO OVER AND SAY, "IT'S AN
HONOR TO MEET YOU, SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR SHOW," AND I WALK AWAY.
HE SAID, WAIT, COME BACK. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I GO PAUL. AND HE GOES PAUL, THAT'S A GOOD
NAME. AND I'M LIKE I'LL DO THE JOKES.
HE GOES WHAT DO YOU DO? I SAID I'M A STAND-UP.
HE SAID I LOVE STAND-UPS. DO YOU HAVE A KID?
YEAH, I GOT A KID. FIVE MINUTES, 10 MINUTES GO BY,
AND I'M TALKING TO PAUL McCARTNEY LIKE I'M TALKING TO
YOU. AND I'M SUPER SMOOTH ON THE
OUTSIDE, AND ON THE INSIDE I'M LIKE, "I'M TALKING TO PAUL
McCARTNEY." AND THIS THOUGHT COMES TO MIND--
PAUL McCARTNEY SHOULD DO MY PODCAST.
I SAY, I KNOW THIS IS CRAZY, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT HOW YOU MAKE MUSIC, WOULD DO YOU MY PODCAST.
AND SHE SAID SURE. JUST LIKE THAT.
>> Stephen: THAT EASY. >> SO THEN HE GOES TO ME, HOW
WOULD WE DO IT? DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS.
I'M GOING TO STAND. HE SAID,INGS HOW WOULD WE DO
THIS? AND THESE NOISES ACTUALLY CAME
OUT OF MY BODY. I'M LIKE AAHH... AND I'M RUBBING
MY LEG LIKE RAIN MAN, ROCKING BACK AND FORTH.
I'LL COME TO LONDON. WE SAID WE'RE IN NEW YORK
TOGETHER WHY WOULD I COME TO LONDON.
AND I SAID, I DON'T WANT TO BE A BOTHER.
IT'S REALLY EASY. YOU CAN DO IT FROM YOUR PHONE.
NEIGHBORINGED FROM YOUR TOILET. AND I SAID LET ME GET OUT OF
HERE WHILE THE GETTING IS GOOD. I SAID I'LL SET THIS UP WITH
YOUR ASSISTANT. AND HE SAID NO, YOU AND I WILL
DO IT. YOU AND I WILL EXCHANGE PHONE
NUMBERS AND WHEN I CALL YOU, YOU HAVE TO BE READY TO DO IT.
NOW I'M HANDING MY PHONE NUMBER TO PAUL McCARTNEY.
HE DOES THE SHOW. I'M RUNNING LATE-- ACTUALLY, TO
GET TO "THE DAILY SHOW." I'M RUNNING LATE.
MY PHONE RINGS. I DON'T RECOGNIZE THE NUMBER.
I LET IT RING TO VOICE MAIL. AND I IMMEDIATELY CALL THEM
BACK, AND HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN NICER.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU GET HIM ON THIS SHOW?
PAUL, IT WAS LOVELY TO SEE YOU. >> LOVELY TO SEE YOU, MAN.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN CATCH PAUL AT THE HOUSE OF COMEDY IN
VANCOUVER, CANADA, THIS WEEKEND AND ON HIS PODCAST "INSIDE OUT
WITH PAUL MECURIO". WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> Stephen THAT'S IT FOR "THE LATE SHOW."
TUNE IN TOMORROW WHEN MY GUESTS WILL BE JOHN LITHGOW AND TONY
AWARD-WINNING ACTOR WENDELL PIERCE.
STICK AROUND FOR JAMES CORDEN. GOOD NIGHT.
