Ken jeong. And musical guests luke bryan and Dierks Bentley. Featuring jon batiste and stay human. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause cheers and applause cheers and applause stephen hey welcome. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Woo good for you. Please, have a seat thank you very much. Very kind. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the late show, ladies and gentlemen. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. Hey, i have a quick question for you guys if you dont mind me asking anybody here use the internet . cheers and applause you might want to knock that off because congress has now voted to allow internet providers to sell your webbrowsing history. Audience boo stephen no, no, i understand that reaction. Now might be a good time to clear your browser history. laughter just hit that button, or pull the lever . I dont know. Ive never used it. laughter ive got nothing to hide. I burned my computer this morning. laughter so this is whats wrong with washington d. C. So heres the deal. I guarantee you theres not one person, not one voter of any political stripe anywhere in america who asked for this. laughter no one. No one in america stood up in a town hall and said, sir, i demand that you let somebody else make money off my shameful desires. laughter yeah, maybe blackmail me someday. Please, give it to somebody else. I cant imagine somebody asked this to happen. I cant believe theyre publicly taking the side of big internet cable companies. Taking the side of a Cable Company . The only thing less popular would be if they passed a bill allowing traffic jams to call you during dinner to give you gonorrhea. laughter applause honey, its for you. laughter now, no one could think this is a good idea except republican representative and realtor who isnt telling you that this condo was built on an ancient Indian Burial Ground laughter marsha blackburn. Consumer privacy is something we all want to protect, and Consumer Privacy will continue to be protected and will actually be enhanced by removing the uncertainty and confusion these rules will create. Stephen i know whats in her search history, how to spout bull bleep . cheers and applause even worse, this new law says internet providers no longer have to protect customer information against hackers and thieves. Okay, thats like a hotel saying, yeah, you can stay here, but heads up we dont lock the doors. Also, we sell videos of you masturbating. You want to buy one . Well call it Entertainment Partners on your bill. Frankly, i feel sorry for who actually gets to look at americas search history. Someone at a Cable Company someone at comcast. Right now theres a comcast employee whose job it is to look at americas search history. And i believe we have some footage of that now. cheers and applause but at least hes fine hes fine, yeah. Really exfoliating. laughter but at least congress did something. Thats refreshing. Because its been less than a week since the republicans flaming failure on health care. They just couldnt get party unity, okay . cheers and applause moderates yeah. Moderates wanted to keep popular stuff like maternity coverage, while the far right wanted to give women in labor a bite stick and a bottle of whiskey. laughter but now we thought it was over. But now cnn is reporting that republicans are working on a plan b. We dont know the details, but im betting it wont cover plan b. laughter its going to be different. They say its going to be totally different this time. Jon i dont know if i got coverage. Stephen totally totally different this time. Because this is what we found out is that when they were planning the first bill, the onehour weekly meetings werent enough time to work through the sticking points. One hour a week doesnt seem like a lot, but then again, you havent read paul ryans book, 60minute abs and total overhaul of health care. piano riff jacked. cheers and applause hes huge. Jon i see youve been working out. Stephen some people say that this is going to be just as hard as the first time. But i have got to say, President Trump is very confident. I know that were all going to make a deal on health care. Thats such an easy one. laughter stephen when he says stuff like that, it worries me. laughter five days ago, just five days ago, the Republican Party exploded in a mist of blood and bone fragments. Does trump not remember when he just said this nobody knew that health care could be so complicated. laughter stephen and now. Thats such an easy one. Stephen he has the memory of a goldfish. laughter maybe thats why hes the exact same color cheers and applause speaking of donald trump, weve been taking weve been talking. Weve been taking and talking. Weve been talking all week about House Intelligence Committee chairman and man whos really happy you met somebody new, devin nunes. Nunes is leading the alleged investigation into alleged ties between the Trump Campaign and russia, allegedly. laughter but a lot of democrats are demanding he step down because. He sucks laughter the specific sucking in question involves nunes unsubstantiated claim that hes seen documents from a secret source that he met at the white house proving that trump aides were incidentally caught up in government surveillance of foreign agents. But its not about russia, and he wont tell anyone the specifics. And now nunes vows he will never reveal his source, not even to other members of the intelligence committee. He says he wants to publicly assure his source that hes never going to give him up. He actually made a Public Statement about it today. Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down cheers and applause never gonna run around and desert you cheers and applause stephen i agree with the democrats. He really should rickcuse himself. laughter its no thats fun. That dance is fun. Jon you got a good feel for it. Stephen really works this part. laughter now, its no secret weve got ourselves what youd call an unconventional president , right . Jon uh huh. Stephen not the normal kind of president. And today we learned that trump is violating yet another norm because he wont throw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals opening day. I dont know why. Maybe hes worried his hands are too small to palm a baseball. laughter jon oh oh stephen hell have to hell have to chest pass it. Hell have to just like that. Jon the thumbs. Stephen its all thumbs. Now this is true. Since taft, every president , other than jimmy carter, has thrown out the first pitch of the season opener. For gods sake, that means f. D. R. Did it laughter let that sink in not only did f. D. R. Beat hitler in world war ii, he also struck him out. laughter im not surprised. Oh yeah. Three up, three down, man. Im not surprised. People im not surprised. People applauding hitler striking out. Its a good feeling. laughter and im surprised that trump wont throw out the first pitch because hes clearly a huge baseball fan. Take me out to the ball game take me out to the crowd stephen are we sure thats not the tape putin is blackmailing him with . laughter applause because i dont know about you. cheers and applause i dont know about you, but i would rather have somebody pee on me than hear that again. laughter so, here we go. Here we go, america trump wont throw out the first pitch. Uh, what else . He wont go to the correspondents dinner. Jon thats right. Stephen he wont release his tax returns. He wont put his businesses in a blind trust. He doesnt want to live in d. C. What president ial tradition will trump abandon next . This thanksgiving, those turkeys better run. laughter i hereby pardon you know what . Im hungry. Get me some hedge clippers. Come here come here come here now, theyre calling it a scheduling conflict. Thats why hes not going to throw the pitch out. Thats what they say. That part is somewhat believable. The president does do a lot of stuff. For instance, earlier today was it this morning . This afternoon . He spoke at a womens empowerment forum. And it was the first womens event hes attended since sneaking into the dressing room at the miss usa pageant. Hiya who wants to be empowered first . laughter applause now, the first lady was also there lovely lady. The first lady was also there, presenting awards to Brave International women whove overcome years of repression and silent suffering. How could she possibly relate to them . cheers and applause but the keynote speaker, of course, was the president of the united states, speaking to women about empowerment. Lets listen to trumps remarks. You know, im automatically attracted to beautiful i just start kissing them. Its like a magnet, just kiss. I dont even wait. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab em by the pussy. You can do anything. Stephen thats the wrong. Audio, jimmy come on wow wow wow, what an unforeseen technical blunder that our Editing Department spent an hour making this afternoon. I am so, so, sorry. Im sorry. Here is. cheers and applause heres the actual footage, the president praising womens unique capabilities. To be honest, whether youre a woman or whether youre a man, you have that same dream. You want to be able to dream. You just have a big advantage over us. You know why . Right there. Hehheh. Stephen hehheh. Yeah, women are just so much smarter than men. I dont know why we didnt elect one president. cheers and applause weve got a great show for you tonight. Luke bryan and Dierks Bentley are here. Theyre going to play.

I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you.

Is true detective season three going to suck as much as season two . laughter its not possible. But i dont want to talk about stories that bring you down all the time. Its time to spread a little sunshine, with the late shows happy news funtime corner. cheers and applause came up a little late.

Hi, wobot hi, wobot hi, wobot laughter audience awws i wuv you, wobot stephen i wuv you, too, wobot applause the most surprising thing about that is that the girls hug didnt bring the water heater back to life. laughter what does it say about me that that little girl embraces a broken water heater more warmly than i hug my loved ones . laughter happy anniversary, honey high five and if youre still worried that america seems to be in decline, shut your worry hole. Because our nation has just achieved greatness where we always do at the monster jam world finals because it was there that a driver achieved what was once thought impossible. Theres the monster truck. Its called mad scientist, and it does a front flip cheers and applause the first ever wooo wooo wooo cheers and applause wooo, baby america is back long may she wave. U. S. A. u. S. A. u. S. A. u. S. A. i wuv you, monster truck. Audience u. S. A. u. S. A. stephen come on who says we dont make anything anymore .

Also, neil, no front flip . Come on. This is what american greatness looks like. I just want to be the first one to predict mad scientist, lee odonnell, 2020. cheers and applause who needs a president in a trucker cap when you can elect the truck well be right back with emma roberts. cheers and applause to encourage trying, goodnessknows invited people who have always wanted to create a jingle, to try. singing goodnessknows, goodnessknow.

Stephen oh thats really lovely. Yes, thank you. Stephen im not surprised. Because youre something of a style icon. Why, thank you. Stephen well, you know this, right . There are blogs and pinterest pages dedicated to like what youre wearing on any given day. I have seen those. Im very flattered. I have been obsessed with fashion my whole life, so its surreal to see myself on that stuff. Stephen well, one fashion icon to another, what do you think of my look . laughter why the laughs . I dont understand. That was a bigger laugh than i expected to get. What do you make of my look here . I think you look amazing. I think you should have an eyewear contract. Stephen what do you mean . I mean you wear glasses so well. You should be the face of glasses. Stephen well, i actually wear them for a purpose. Not just fashion. laughter you mean you actually you need those to see . I thought you were wearing those for fashion. Stephen no, this is so i can read the words on the little thing over there. If i had my own show like you, i would wear a different pair of glasses every day. I would. Stephen give it a shot. Give it a shot. Oh, wow. You really do need these. laughter do my eyes look bigger . Stephen oh, wow. If i had glasses on, i could tell whether that i could tell whether that looked good on you. But i imagine it looked fantastic. Yes. Stephen anyway, you dont need glasses . I feel like im starting to while im reading lately. But i dont know if i just want them and so im having psychosomatic symptoms because i want a cool pair of glasses. Im not really sure, but stephen now, you, uh we first knew you from nick, you know, but after nickelodeon, youve done a lot of horror. Youve done American Horror story, youve done scream queens, and now youre doing the blackcoats daughter. Which is, again, a terrifying horror film. Are you trying to scrape the nickelodeon off of you with these . Its been accidental. Everyone that knows me says you do so much scary stuff and youre terrified of everything. And its like i woke up one day and i had been in a movie called scream and in a show called scream queens, and i dont know how it happened. And American Horror story. I dont know. Stephen you dont actually do you go to scary movies yourself . Um, i do. But its a production if i go to a scary movie. Stephen what do you mean . Like my girlfriends know theyre going to have to come to my house beforehand, theyre going to have to sleep over after. Its a full twoday affair if im going to see a horror movie. We have to have a nice breakfast the next day thats light and fun. You know yeah. Stephen watch the video of the girl hugging the water heater. I was getting teary eyed with that. Stephen isnt that amazing . Thats a good one to have in my back pocket after i see a scary movie. Ill just be under a blanket watching that. Stephen now obviously, im going to go see this movie because youre a friend of mine now. But i really dont like scary movies. I went to go see world war z with my daughter and i pulled my neck. laughter i thought you were going to say you left. Stephen no, i literally pulled my neck going like that. laughter well, i took my sister is 16, my little sister, grace. And she came with me to the premiere, and she had to leave. She was like, i love you, but im out. And she just left. Stephen wow and i was like, grace, what are you doing . And she said, im really sorry. This movie is scary. I mean stephen its super scary. Ive seen clips of it, and that has scared me, and that worries me if the clips scare me. laughter yes. Well, when i read the script i was terrified, and it was one of those scripts that i read and i walked away from. And then it slowly seeped back into my brain and kept me up all night, and i was like, does this mean i should do the movie or i shouldnt . I dont know. I cant sleep. I cant think. But i did it. Stephen well, we have a clip right here. Can you set up whats going on here . Its i cant. Stephen you cant . I cant. No, im kidding. I cant say too much. Stephen okay. But basically my character, joan, kind of goes on a bit a bit of a road trip with this couple, and youre not really sure why or what their relationship is. And so this is kind of the one of the first interactions between joan and the husband character. So its a little bit odd. Stephen jim. Are you going to portsmouth, too . No, not exactly. Linda and i are headed to the town just before it. Were going to branford. Do you know branford . When do we leave . Whats that . When do we leave . Stephen i would not go anywhere with you. cheers and applause i just scared myself. Stephen are they are are scary movies scary to make . No. Stephen good. Not at all. Actually, one time i literally was doing American Horror story and i had blood all over me for this scene but i forgot because that became the normal. So i face timed with my sister, and i was like, hey, whats up . And she was like, aarrgghh and i realized i had blood all over me. And she said you cant just face time someone like that and not give a warning. Stephen when im watching a scary movie, if i want to calm myself down ill remember that they had to take a break for the union guys to go to lunch. laughter yeah. Stephen now, you also got i understand this is your youre a big reader. Which is good. I love books. Theyre one of the best ways to learn things. laughter you started a book club . I did. Stephen and this is this is your advertisement for your book club. I gotta say, not a lot of reading going on in this photograph. laughter so how does one it was a reading break. Stephen a reading break. So who is in your book club and how i can join . Its called belatrus, and we have a website and an instagram. And our first book is south and west by joan didion. And its basically my best friend karen and i started it because we love to read and we feel like there was a common misconception that millennials dont read. And i found that not to be true just from the book posting on my instagram and people were asking about lists and wanted to talk about, and we start to start a site where we could actually talk about the books that we want to read with everybody else. Stephen its an online book club. How do i discuss it with you . Instagram live. Stephen oh, i didnt know. Instagram live, were also going to be doing it on the website.

Yes. Stephen where is your accent . laughs i think they were lost with my immigrant korean parents in north carolina. So, i think because they didnt have an accent and didnt say yall, i think thats probably why. Stephen my parents are from larchmont, and i say yall. You say yall. Stephen did you ever have any kind of accent, even like when you get angry or Something Like that . It would be really funny if i had the thickest korean accent and then got really mad. Never happened. Stephen you attended duke. Yup, went to duke. Stephen attended duke, and then u. N. C. For med school. Yes. Stephen because youre a medical doctor. Yes. Stephen which a lot of people didnt know. cheers and applause they know about you now, but quite an interesting career. So was that tough going from duke to u. N. C. . Because thats like crips and bloods situation. laughter yes, it was. To be honest, you got to stay loyal to your undergrad colors and i was really obnoxious as a duke grad. I would actually drive up to the carolina campus with i had a dark blue mustang with duke bumper stickers. I had like, dark blue sweat pants with duke on my ass. And i would just walk i would just walk to the med school. I was brazen. I was obnoxious. Stephen so you still cant pull for u. N. C. , even though u. N. C. Is in the final four . Absolutely not. I respect it if u. N. C. Med school had a team, yes. I mean, i know some urologists with sweet js, but im just saying. laughter you know. Stephen so, you went from medicine to acting. Yup. Stephen you know, you did all that work to become a doctor. Yeah. Stephen do you ever feel that you just a waste. Stephen just threw it away . Threw it away, yeah. Stephen its like 2230, right . Like that whole because of like internship and residency and that kind of stuff. Yeah, its true. I think that stephen how did you tell your parents . laughs very carefully. I, um you know, for me even when i was an undergrad, even when i was in high school, i did a little bit of performing. And so at duke i got bitten by the acting bug and it was so i would do some theatre, and then it just all this my whole career is just a just a big happy fluke, you know. Stephen are you still licensed as a physician . Yeah, technically im licensed to be a doctor. But i dont practice anymore. Its just more of a stephen do you have to reup every so often . You have to do continuing medical education, like reup online or go to conferences or online conferences to kind of reup. Stephen uh huh. Who gives it to you . Do you have to go to like the d. M. V. . Name a bone femur . Congrats, heres your license. Stephen can you still write prescriptions . I can technically still write prescriptions, but i dont. Stephen obviously not, obviously not. Stick around. laughter in dr. Ken you play a guy named dr. Ken. Yes. Stephen okay. Uh, its basically your life before youre famous. Yes, yes. Stephen is that weird . Or difficult . No. Stephen because i played somebody named me but wasnt like me. Youre actually playing somebody named you who is like you. To your point, i feel like the show is an alternate timeline had the hangover never happened. Had i not jumped out naked out of a trunk, that would have been my life. cheers and applause stephen which, by the way, which, by the way, i have to say. cheers and applause the minute. As a performer, as a comedian, as a middleaged man, when i saw you jump out of that trunk and just start wailing on them, i thought, i love this man like a brother. laughs i couldnt believe how beautiful that was. Are you up for anything . Will you do or try anything . Is there anything you wont try . I mean, you know, i actually like, when the camera is on, theres nothing i wont do. Stephen sure the adrenaline of the lens. The adrenaline of the lens, but i think when the camera is off, im really just your basic, middleaged asian man who is afraid to go on a roller coaster stephen you dont like roller coasters . No, i dont. We went to disney world we went to orlando last year, and im just terrified of going on space mountain. Stephen no space mountain. No, really bad. Any roller coaster where you have to go upside down i cant stand it. Stephen you know what bothers me about space mountain is its in the dark and i have fantasies of decapitation. Me, too stephen you see flashes of beams and stuff, they will have moved one in the night and it will just take my head off. If your head is chopped off, have the decency to see whats going to chop it. You know . Stephen exactly. And i know the photo they give at the end, my family is going, wheee and ill be chopped. laughter applause stephen now, you were a popular nerd in high school. Oh, god. Stephen a popular nerd in high school. Oh, geez oh, man stephen how do you achieve that . How do you achieve both nerd and popular without betraying your nerddom . I think i was always just as a kid, just a happygolucky guy who was very academically driven, but i just i was always up for a laugh. And i think i just i dont know. I just had there was just a certain way i behaved. Almost like i wish i could find my adolescence still. There was something nice about just being i had one goal as a kid was to get into a good college but just have a laugh along the way. It would be nice to go back and live that life.

Thats your dream collaboration. Living or dead, i choose elvis. Stephen take either one. Which is a weird thing to ask somebody, but stephen whether you could perform with them dead .
