Late night with kim. [ light laughter ] hey, testing missiles is one thing, but making fun of our president is my job. [ laughter ] thats right, kim jongun called trump a mentally deranged u. S. Dotard, which is a good burn, because if theres one thing trump hates its having to use a dictionary. [ light laughter ] dotard, im going to look this up, its probably very handsome man. or rich handsome man. thats probably what this word means. I dont know the order of the alphabet, so i dont know what im doing here. [ light laughter ] thats right, kim jongun said president trumps remarks to the u. N. Threatening north korea reflect mentally deranged behavior. Do you know how messedup you have to be for kim jongun to call you deranged . [ laughter ] thats like rachael ray saying youre too excited about olive oil. [ laughter ] senator john mccain announced today that he will not vote for the grahamcassidy bill to repeal and replace obamacare, again. If he kills one more Republican Health care bill, he gets a free sandwich deservedly so. [ cheers and applause ] earn that sandwich. Politico published an article today profiling white house staffers who may be considering leaving the trump administration, citing reasons like low morale, the russia investigation, leadership turnover, the russia investigation, long hours, the russia investigation, low pay, the russia investigation, and the investigation about russia. [ light laughter ] former White House Communications director Anthony Scaramucci cohosted abcs the view. Even weirder, mike pence deejayed on ellen. [ laughter ] i dont care for this next one. During his appearance on the view today, scaramucci accused former adviser steve bannon of having a messiah complex. Well, it definitely looks like hes been turning water into wine. [ light laughter ] two more waters, please ill take the whole bottle. First lady melania trump, hosted local schoolchildren at the white house today to harvest and replant the vegetable garden of former first Lady Michelle obama. Or as the white house is calling it, repeal and replant. [ light laughter ] we must put an end to this horrible garden. Representative Maxine Waters reportedly called housing secretary ben carson an educated fool during a meeting yesterday. No, you are yelled carson, several days later. [ laughter ] Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg discussed his companys possible role in russias influence on the election yesterday saying, i dont want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy. In that case, you may want to talk to these tools who are undermining our democracy. [ cheers and applause ] theyd love to hear from you. Today was National Hobbit day. Unfortunately, Jeff Sessions saw his shadow. [ laughter ] so that means six more weeks of racism. [ light laughter ] [ audience ohs ] very hard to take a hobbit setup get to racism. [ light laughter ] and finally, netflix recently removed an episode of a childrens cartoon after viewers spotted what appeared to be a penis etched in the background of a scene. So, yeah, shes done exploring for a while. [ laughter ] [ audience ohs ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. Just forget that happened. Get that out of here heads. [ applause ] from nbcs law and order true crime the Menendez Murders, edie falco is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] and ive watched the first couple episodes, its really great. And she, of course, is always a delight to have here. Also hes hosting a new show on comedy central, the opposition, Jordan Klepper is joining us. [ cheers and applause ] so excited to talk to him about his new show. Im so excited to see it. And she is the longtime creative director at vogue and author of the new book ginger nuts, Grace Coddington is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] i cannot wait to talk to her about that. Before we get to all of our fantastic guests, this week there were once again, several new bombshell in the russia investigation, including the revelation that president trumps former campaign chief offered private briefings on Trumps Campaign to a russian billionaire. For more on this its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth even when theyre out of the white house, trumps former aides cant seem to stop lying. Yesterday former White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer continued his attempted rehabilitation tour with an interview on abc where he was asked if he had ever lied to the American People. And managed to pull off the rare feat of lying about lying. Have you ever lied to the American People . I dont think so. You dont think so . Nope, i dont cheat on my taxes unequivocally, you can say no . I look, again, you want to find some thing ive not knowingly done anything to do that, no. Seth you never lied to the American People . Then what was that thing you did at the emmys . Because remember, you came out and said, this is the largest audience to witness the emmys, period. That was a joke. About when you lied about the size of the inauguration crowd. A joke that you told about the lie that you told. [ light laughter ] spicer might think hes gotten away from that lie, but even he cant get away from the widening russia investigation. Special counsel robert mueller, has made it known he wants to talk to former white house aides, including spicer. And when that happens spicer will have no excuse for leaving out key details. Former colleagues of sean spicer tell axios that he filled notebook after notebook during meetings at the Republican National committee. Later at the Trump Campaign, and then at the white house. Spicer was so well known to his copious notes that underlings joked about him writing a tellall. Thats right, a tellall. Although judging from spicers experience in the white house, it might more of a tellnone. I have not asked the president since the last time we spoke about this. I have not asked the president. I havent asked him ive not talked to him qualities looking forward to to seeing. I dont know if hes seen the legislation or not. But again, i havent spoken to him on it. Honestly, i havent asked him. I honestly havent asked him that specific question. I have not had an opportunity to have that discussion. I literally have not had that kind of conver i have not discussed that with the president. Seth so look for spicers memoir in stores this fall, i dont know what happened. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] although trumps inner circle is apparently worried about how much spicer knows. Because one white house official told axios people are going to wish theyd been nicer to sean. He was in a lot of meetings. Was he . [ light laughter ] he came to press briefings like a College Senior who missed the whole semester but still showed up for the final exam. Whoa, whoa, whoa, periodic table i thought this class was about dinosaurs so when spicer was asked during his a. B. C. About his involvement in the Russian Investigation he repeatedly stonewalled. Has the mueller team reached out to you at all . Im not going to discuss that issue at all. Have you hired a lawyer . Im not going to discuss that issue at all. So you havent been subpoenaed . Im not going to discuss that issue at all. Did you ever hear inside the white house that mueller should be fired . Im not going to discuss that issue at all. Seth sean spicer is magic 8ball with only one answer. [ laughter ] hes a magic one ball. Will i ever find true love . Im not going to discuss that issue at all . You suck, magic 1ball but sean spicer isnt the only trump associate in muellers crosshairs. As we mentioned earlier this week, mueller also seems to be closing in on former Trump Campaign chair paul manafort. And now theres damning new evidence and manafort may have been seeking to profit off his role in the campaign, by offering exclusive access to a Russian Oligarch. The Washington Post reporting tonight that quote less than two weeks before donald trump accepted the republican president ial nomination, his Campaign Chairman offered to provide briefings on the race to a russian billionaire, closely aligned with the kremlin. Manafort sent an email intended for oleg deripaska. In the email, written on july 7th, 2016, manafort offered to keep deripaska informed about the campaign. If he needs private briefings, we can accommodate. Seth this is unreal. The chairman of an american president ial campaign offered private briefings on that campaign to a Russian Oligarch. If you cant connect the dots at this point, its because the [ bleep ] dots are too close together. [ laughter ] it just looks like one big dot. [ applause ] lets zoom in on that. There you go, there are your dots. [ applause ] and now in an effort to protect themselves, Trump Officials are even going so far as to pretend they barely know manafort. And avoid saying his name. Vice president mike pence was asked about news that the fbi had wiretapped manafort, and talked about it like he had no idea who manafort was. All these revelations are breathtaking to me, including the the recent news that there was, in fact, wiretapping. Against someone who had a condominium in the trump tower. Seth someone who had a condominium in trump tower . He was the Campaign Chairman. Thats like mick jagger referring to Keith Richards as the guitar player from that popular band. [ light laughter ] seriously, heres a former Campaign Chairman, hes being accused of offering private access to a kremlinbacked russian billionaire. Thats ripe for at least one followup question. Lets see the very next thing the team at fox and friends asked mike pence. Well let them do our job, were gonna keep doing our job. Was it good to see us again . Seth oh, my god. [ laughter ] i never thought id say this. But fox and friends, youve got to stop being so thirsty if theres anything that doesnt work on mike pence its homoerotic undertones. [ laughter ] it makes sense, though, that pence would pretend to forget manaforts name. In fact, its in keeping with the strategy trump himself has used. After it was reported that the fbi had raided manaforts home, trump said this of his former campaign chair. He was with the campaign, as you know, for a very short period of time. Seth yeah. Everyone works for you for a short period of time. [ light laughter ] your president ial seal should be a Cardboard Box with a fern sticking out of it. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] manafort was there longer than most. He worked for trump for three months. Thats almost ten scaramuccis. [ light laughter ] and its a shame trump isnt defending manafort from these russia allegations. Especially after manafort gave this incredibly wellworded defense of trump against the russia allegations during the campaign. So, to be clear, mr. Trump has no Financial Relationships with any Russian Oligarchs . If thats what he said, thats what i said thats obviously what our position is. [ laughter ] seth in his defense, he was up all night updating a Russian Oligarch on the campaign. Come on, there must be a more articulate way to deny something. Sean . I i look, again you want to find some thing ive not knowingly done anything to to do that, no. Seth use your words. [ laughter ] so manafort was only on the campaign for three months. Maybe that isnt so long. I mean, its not like trump ever publicly thanked him, on stage, in front of tv cameras, right . Paul manafort has done an amazing job. Hes here someplace. Wheres paul . [ applause ] paul manafort. Oh, good. You made it. Seth oh, good, you made it. [ light laughter ] trump talks to his closest aides Like Neighbors at a barbecue. Oh, hey, didnt think youd come, kegs out back. [ light laughter ] okay, fine, but so what . Its not like manafort repeatedly insisted that he knew trump well, reported to him directly, and did exactly what trump told him to do, right . Whats that . Wrong . Man its like im doing this on purpose. Well, the candidate is in control of his campaign. Thats number one. And im in control of doing the things that he wants me to do in the campaign. He reached out to some people who suggest to me we got together, ive known donald since the 1980s. I work directly for the boss. So thats it, you only have one guy you listen to and its trump . Well, i listen to everybody, but i have one man whose voice sounds is louder than everybody elses. Seth that makes sense. Not only is trumps voice louder than everybody else, its louder than my own thoughts. Huh, i wonder what i should have for dinner tonight . Trump steaks are the worlds greatest steaks seth get out of my head [ laughter ] so now we have reports that the people closest to trump tried to get dirt on Hillary Clinton from the russian government. Tried to use a moscow business deal to help trump get elected, and offered private access to a russian billionaire. No matter what happens next, the evidence we already have is damning. At this point theres a good chance trump will only be in office for a very short period of time. Seth this has been a closer look.

Please give it up for the 8g band right over there. [ cheers and applause ] also weve been so excited and honored this week. Fred armisen has been with us on the drums. [ cheers and applause ] and fred, very exciting. You are you do so many things. Youre going to be in the lego ninjago movie and thats your lego character. Fred thats it, thats cole. Seth thats cole, thats great. Do you have many of these lego figurines . Fred ive got like four of them. Seth four of them . Fred yeah. Seth thats great. Do you have them in sort of all your different homes so youre never away from one . Fred yes. Seth yeah, that makes sense. Fred overseas. Seth overseas, right. One in the safe deposit box. God forbid something should happen. Fred of course, yes. Seth fred, youve accomplished so much. This show, portlandia, movies. And im so impressed with the things youve accomplished. And yet i worry sometimes that you make up stories to get even more attention. [ laughter ] and and its fine. You can admit to me if im right, because i would love you all the same. Youre one of my oldest friends. Fred uhhuh. [ laughter ] seth but like, for example, i sometimes feel like when i hear people talking about things, i hear you jump in, in a way, to sort of drag the attention over to you. For example, we were talking backstage about how donald trump had started calling kim jongun rocket man. And you just jumped in and said, oh, thats my nickname, my nicknames rocket man. Fred it is. Seth i dont believe that. Fred i am rocket man. [ laughter ] seth why do people call you rocket man if thats true . Fred i design rockets, okay . [ light laughter ] i i often go to kinkos, right . And i just use their Little Office area there. Seth uhhuh. Fred and i design rockets for people, anyone they want to come by and ill design a rocket for them. [ light laughter ] and so, you know just different sizes, different kinds seth im sorry, do you design working rockets . What are you designing for them . Fred ive never seen them put to use, but i know they would work. [ laughter ] i guarantee you they would cause the logic of rockets is pretty easy. Its fuel. And then its got to be, you know its got to you know. Its facing where its going to hit, you know. [ laughter ] so its got little wings on it, so it doesnt go offcourse and stuff like that. Seth uhhuh. Fred so, just plenty of fuel. You need a launching pad. Theyre pretty easy. So i just design them for people and seth so, im sorry, youre saying the key the only thing you need to know to design rockets is you need to know theres fuel, it has to be aiming at what its going to hit, wings and a launching pad . Fred yeah. So but basically, its like it goes up and then youve got to like, figure out the curvature of the earth. [ light laughter ] its pre
