Announcer its the late show with Stephen Colbert tonight, stephen welcomes aaron paul and musical guest idina menzel, 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 theme song playing stephen hey how are ya . Beautiful cheers and applause lovely hey hello, jon happy monday whats going on, lewis, jon audience chanting stephen come on come on cheers and applause just keep going piano riff whats up . Welcome one and all to the late show. Welcome, everybody. Im your host Stephen Colbert. It is december already, i cant believe it. Its december 16th. The holidays are bearing down on us like a pack of cheerful hyenas. Jon come on. Stephen and i cant wait for them to catch me. Just to unplug and glug, glug laughter piano riff but until we get our nog on, theres a lot going on out there, and ill give you the latest details in tonights don and the giant impeach. cheers and applause they are impeaching me and there are no crimes. cheers and applause stephen on friday, the House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment against the president. The vote was 2317, along strictly partisan lines. Thats right. Not one republican evidently has a problem with the president blackmailing a Foreign Government to get dirt on a political opponent. In a related story, the g. O. P. Changed its mascot from an elephant to an ostrich. laughter cheers and applause those are some nice drumsticks. Jon yeah stephen this morning, the Judiciary Committee released a 658page report, exhaustively explaining that President Trump has placed his personal political interests above our national security, our free and fair elections, and our system of checks and balances. And im told we have trumps response you knew damn well i was a snake before you took me in cheers and applause stephen true. Hes got us there. Hes got us there, jon jon come on. Stephen hes right. Hes right. The full house is expected to vote on impeachment on wednesday, then its on to the senate where it lands on the desk of Senate Majority leader and pelican who just swallowed another pelican, Mitch Mcconnell. booing in an impeachment trial, the senate is the jury, so its their constitutional duty to be impartial. Mcconnell sees it slightly differently everything i do during this, im coordinating with the white house counsel. Im going to coordinate with the president s lawyers, so there wont be any difference between us on how to do this. Im going to take my cues from the president s lawyers. Stephen how is that okay laughter thats like one of the jurors standing up at the beginning of a trial and saying, your honor, we think the defendant is a real good guy. And were going to be coordinating with him throughout the trial. Wed also like to give him his knife back. There you go, jack. Keep on rippin, brother. laughter piano riff then mcconnell made this prediction theres no chance the president is going to be removed from office. Stephen ah, spoiler alert. Dont tell me how democracy ends. laughter i dont want to go through this whole process knowing its going to have an unsatisfying ending. Thats like getting into game of thrones now. laughter im not watching 30 hours of eye gouging just to get to king bran. laughter mcconnell isnt the only republican whos being shamelessly partisan, theres also South Carolina senator and man who just zipped his junk into his fly, lindsey graham. laughter graham told a crowd this weekend, i have made up my mind. Im not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here. Really . audience reacts you should at least pretend laughter because when the trial starts, the oath you take says, i solemnly swear i will do impartial justice according to the constitution and laws so help me god. So, to cover for donald trump, a man you loathe, youre going to lie to god . Youre going to betray the man upstairs for the man whos afraid to walk down stairs . laughter jon wow. Stephen one man is not giving up on a fair trial Senate Minority leader and man calling dibs on the last cruller, chuck schumer. Schumer wrote Mitch Mcconnell a letter asking him, among other things, for four Top White House officials who have not previously testified including Mick Mulvaney and john bolton to appear as witnesses. Welp, thats the only holiday wish list thats ever included john bolton. Dear santa, this year i want to spend more time with john bolton, and also have my nipples chewed off by a rabid badger. laughter piano riff schumer emphasized that he wants to make sure all the evidence is presented. I guess the way you would sum it up, the old joe friday on dragnet, if you remember that show. Just the facts, maam. Stephen a noble sentiment. But heres an idea can we get a Single Person in our government who isnt 147 years old . laughter a new comprehensive Healthcare Plan. applause our new comprehensive Healthcare Plan has been approved by leading medical professionals like marcus welby m. D. , dr. Kildare, and mr. Ed laughter trumps got a wildcard in his fight against impeachment personal lawyer and grandpa being discreetly checked to see if hes still alive, rudy giuliani. Giuliani was recently in ukraine, meeting with disgraced prosecutors and trying to dig up more dirt on the bidens. Rudy claims, we have found multiple crimes the bidens have committed extortion, bribery, and money laundering, and to back it up, he had a handwritten diagram titled bribery, parentheses, crime. laughter im sorry, thats his todo list. laughter jon wow stephen today, trump was asked about giulianis trip, and he was all for it. Mr. President , how much has giuliani shared with you about his recent trip to ukraine . Oh, not too much. But hes a very great crimefighter, he was probably the greatest crimefighter over the last 50 years. Stephen im sorry. You cant call him a crimefighter just because he occasionally wears his underpants on the outside. laughter jon oh, wow. Stephen gets em mixed up. laughter i just got the image. I got the image. Took me a second. cheers and applause trump knows that rudy is digging up conspiracies out of the goodness of his heart. Hes a great person who loves our country. And he does this out of love, believe me, he does it out of love. Stephen yes, when a rudy and a country love each other very much, they share a special hug and were all screwed. And the president has a lot of hurt feelings over getting impeached. He shared them with his loved one, twitter. Congressional do nothing democrats are being absolutely decimated in their districts on the subject of the impeachment hoax. People that voted for them are literally screaming in their faces. Its true. Its true. cheers and applause its happening, jon. Jon its happening. Whats happening right now . Stephen its happening. Voters are screaming at the democrats. Thank you make the bad man go away im sorry im shouting this is how i talk now help laughter there is one democrat voting against impeachment, new jersey representative and jigsaws twin brother, jeff van drew. laughter piano riff van drew has been a vocal opponent of accountability, and hes now expected to switch to the republican party. Can you imagine switching to the g. O. P. Now . Thats like rowing past the titanic and going, lets go check out the midnight buffet laughter the band is still playing faster, faster, get out of here come on, come on cheers and applause piano riff not everyone is happy with van drews decision. Or anyone. Because a democratic foe labeled him a traitor, a republican running for his seat called him a weasel, and once they heard the news, most of the staff in his Washington Office quit. applause but, congressman, just remember the old saying keep your friends close. Annnd you have no friends. laughter while the house is trying to get the current president out, democrats are working to shove a new one in. And ill tell you all about it in tonights doing it donkey style. cheers and applause first up on the donkey steez some old controversies are resurfacing for billionaire former mayor and dr. Moreaus first try at a manlizard, michael bloomberg. Over the weekend, a report came out saying that back in the 1990s, bloomberg made sexist comments that degraded women at his company, like i would do you in a second and id like to do that piece of meat. Do that piece of meat . Remind me not to go to mikes house for a cookout. as bloomberg im done cooking your steak. Now, ive just got to do it. laughter piano riff the accusations are pretty hard for bloomberg to deny because, for his 48th birthday, his employees compiled a small booklet of his crude language, titled the portable bloomberg the wit and wisdom of michael bloomberg. They even made him a mixtape version, now thats what i call h. R. About laughter weve got a great show for you. Aaron paul is here. cheers and applause when we return, the Hallmark Channel is in some hot cocoa. Stick around. cheers and applause band playing cheers and applause band playing stephen hey, everybody welcome back give it up for john podest jon d stay human cheers and applause singing stephen hey, everybody welcome back folks, there was a huge controversy starting thursday, when the Hallmark Channel pulled an ad because it featured a samesex couple. Heres the ad. I, eva, wonder if our guests would be here on time. If we had a custom Wedding Website with our ceremony details on it. And i, taylor, would pick zola to have and to host our Wedding Website. Do you think zola could have made planning your perfect wedding easier . We do weve helped a million couples plan their wedding with free websites, registry and invitations. Get started for free at zola. Com. Stephen you know what . I got to say that ad is upsetting. Theyre standing in front of decorative prelit trees but the room also has an elaborate wooden mantle. Whats the aesthetic here . Classic evening or rustic chic . Pick a lane, ladies i cant let my kids see that laughter but the sight of two women kissing was enough to enrage the members of an online antil. G. B. T. Q. Group called one million moms who petitioned hallmark after the commercial aired, saying, the Hallmark Channel has always been known for its Family Friendly movies. Even its commercials are usually safe for family viewing. But unfortunately, that is not the case anymore. Lets be honest, your whole family isnt getting together to watch hallmark christmas movies. Real moms watch them alone at night, while trying to assemble a fisher price kitchen and drinking out of a wine glass that says, when caleb whines, mommy wines. laughter okay . Words to live by. Caleb and mommy. applause hallmark caved immediately, saying, the hallmark brand is never going to be divisive. We dont want to generate controversy. We know. Weve seen your movies. laughter hallmark doesnt generate controversy, character growth, dramatic tension, or leading roles for black people. Jon oh, oh piano riff cheers and applause but in their effort to avoid controversy, hallmark created a massive amount of controversy. cause after they removed the ad, zola said, it will no longer run ads on the Hallmark Channel, the Hashtag Boycott hallmark went viral, and they got pushback from l. G. B. T. Q. Advocacy group glaad and celebrities like Ellen Degeneres and william shatner. Yes, shatner we actually have footage of shatner taking on one of the million moms. Becket combat music . Hallmark is turning our children gay you just fear what you. Dont. Understand. fighting noises love. Is love. cheers and applause piano riff stephen well, just like in the hallmark classic a shoe addicts christmas i had to ask in commercial if we made that up. laughter we did not. laughter theres a happy ending. In response to complaints about their response to complaints, hallmark announced that they will reinstate the commercials. So, just before christmas, bigcity hallmark executives had to decide between a high stakes advertising account and love. There was drama, they broke up, got back together, a wedding was involved, and everyone was white. laughter man, they do have just one plot line. Well be right back with aaron paul. cheers and applause band playing whether you were borne for more danceoffs. More travels. Or more touchdowns. Get the immune support that gives you more. Airborne gummies have 50 more vitaminc than emergenc. Plus our crafted blend of vitamins, minerals and herbs. Airborne. Trhere you go. Ill put it right here. gasps j. C. Penney.

Its the gift that says i love you so much, i signed this in the car. But even the best holiday cards had to start somewhere. And the people who write them dont always nail it on the first try. Which is why, tonight, were taking a look at some early greeting card efforts in our segment, first drafts. No, no stupid cheers and applause stephen as always with first drafts, we need somebody to help me with the first drafts of the card. Anybody want to be my volunteer . You come on up here. There you go. This man will put a mic on you. You just hold that in your hand. Whats your name, young lady . Im hillary. Stephen say hi to hillary, everybody cheers and applause please, have a seat.

Weve got you a stocking here. What . stephen its a hastilystuffed stocking featuring batteries, and a gogurt from the break room fridge. laughter my favorite stephen the rest is fiber glass stuffing. There you go. Are you lactose intoll rapt . No, im not. Stephen there you go. Theres some milk for you and some beautiful cookies for you. Can i just sit here and eat . Stephen you can. I havet another job for you, though. What youre going to do is, im going to give you a stack of these christmas cards or holiday cards, and these cards have the final card that was sold in the store, but also the first draft of the card that was not good enough to be sold, thats why they rewrote it.

Stephen yeah, theres a scam somehow. The whole thing is run by the airlines somehow. laughter hand me just the top card. There are so many. Stephen okay. Heres one for your employees. It says happy holidays to the hardestworking staff around. So important to be appreciative to the people who work for you. And the first draft said, happy holidays. This card is to inform you that youre working on christmas day. Feel free to take a candy cane from the bowl by reception. laughter cheers and applause true. Thats true. So its business and pleasure. Whats the pleasure part . Usually when i come to new york for auditions i come by myself but this time my husband is with me. Stephen where is your husband . Over there, derek. Stephen congratulations. How long have you been married . Six years. Stephen thats a solid amount of time. Its been a good solid six years, yeah. Stephen yeah. But this time hes, like, hey, its the holidays and youre going to be in new york for a week, so how about i come with you . So we have had a lot of fun touring things. Stephen whats the most fun thing youve done . Oh, jeez laughter we did the metropolitan museum of art. That was really fun. laughter stephen did they put you on National Television . laughter piano riff how come youre in new york auditioning and im the one who seems needy . laughter heres a good one. This one says, ho, ho, ho. Basic, simple, lovely. But the first draft said, really, janet . With my brother . laughter applause theres a story there. What was the writer doing . Stephen i dont know what the writer was doing. Okay. This is a nice one right there. Its got a sleigh on the front and it says Merry Christmas from rudolph and the gang. But the first draft said, Merry Christmas from dasher and the gang rudolph broke a hoof and had to be put down. laughter they didnt sell that one thank goodness. Stephen this is the last holiday card. cheers and applause this is a really nice one. This has a little Norman Rockwell on front and it says, i saw mommy kissing canada clause. But the first draft said, i saw daddy burying santa claus in a shallow grave. cheers and applause well, thank you so much. Merry christmas. Merry christmas to you, too stephen give the cookies to your husband give it up, everybody cheers and applause band playing for that many calories you could have 9 veggie chips.

Stephen happy holidays, Merry Christmas and all of the above. Yeah, you, too. Stephen everybody loved breaking bad. Its been six years since you went offair, god help us. Youre back with Bryan Cranston working on a new project and it is not the one i expected. Right. Stephen is this the stuff right here . This is it stephen this is it. You guys are working on a mescal called do dose hombres. They looked a little more peaceful. Is this an alternate ending to breaking bad where they go, lets do booze and this is legal or are you dead and this is heaven . Walt died and it looks like were in heaven. It feels like were in heaven. Stephen you look like extras in a progressive commercial. laughter so why why why why the booze . Why not . Stephen thats a good question. Lets do it. No, bryan and i were actually having stephen do you take a lime . Do you take a lime. No. Stephen you dont take a lime . Just a little ice. Stephen are you okay if i take a lime . Yeah, get in there. Shall i fill it to the top . Stephen no, no, no, i have to work after this. laughter bryan and i were having dinner in new york and he said, look, is it too soon to do another project together . And i said, i think people are going to see us as walt and jesse for a while. I said what do you think about going into the booze business. He laughed. He said the thing with the worm in the bottom . I said, no, doesnt have to have the worm. The seed was planted a little over three years ago and here we are. Stephen if you have enough of it, youre the worm at the bottom. cheers and applause cheers, everybody its lovely. Its smooth. I always just drink it neat or on the rocks. Stephen how does one start a booze . What do you have to do . Oh, wow. First of all, its so much more work than you would think. Lots of drinking involved. Stephen okay. But where do you source the material wojwohaca is where mas cal come mascal comes from. We went all over trying to find the perfect mescal. We found a small lilt village three hours outside the center of wa juahaka city. We had to take off our boots and hike up or pants and hike 15 miles in the wilderness and we came across what honestly looked like a meth lab in the middle of nowhere. I sensed, this has to be the spot stephen did bryan agree . We tasted it, looked at each other and had another sample and we were, like, i think this is it. Stephen is that fun to be yes stephen it sounds almost dangerous to be doing that. Maybe snifts you could be bitten by a snake. There was no snakes, just lots of booze. Stephen yeah. cheers and applause it really is so smooth and special. Stephen i heard a story tell me if this is true you guys are obviously great on screen together in breaking bad. I heard your character unbeknownst to you was going to be knocked off in the first season. It was going to be toward the end of the first season, like the fifth or sixth episode he was supposed to die from a rival gang and, at the end of the first season, walt takes revenge. I did not know that. laughter thank god they changed their mind. Stephen never got a whiff of it . I mean, bryan would always toy around with me that i was going to die, you know. Stephen did he know you were supposed to die . He i think he did know i was supposed to die, but they just kept it a secret from me, thank god. Toward the end of the first season, vince told me that was the plan, and i couldnt shake it until we were done shooting the show. I always thought i was going to die. Stephen was there any scripture reading, like, im definitely dead on the next page . Many, many scripts. But bryan would come up to me and one time he came up to me and gave me this long hug, inappropriately long, and hes, like, hey, it was a fun ride, man. I go, what do you mean . The newest episode, at least you go out swinging. I go, what are you talking about . He goes, you havent read it . I said, no. Hes, like, call me anytime. Im here to talk. I ran into the production office, said whats happening . Bryan read the script, let me see it. They wouldnt show me anything. He was just lying. Stephen thats what actors do, they lie for a living. Yeah. Stephen can you explain this before i call Childrens Services here . This is you and your daughter yeah. audience reacts cheering so that story shes just the sweetest. That story was at comiccon. The first time i was at comiccon it was attend of breaking bad and i had walked out with baby holly in that same sort of meth suit. After comiccon, i asked, can you i keep this for my unborn baby . Theyre, like, youre having a baby . I said eventually. Next time i was at comiccon, she fit in the costume and i brought it with me. I was backstage going, ca shouli do this . Is this weird . Bryan helped put that suit on my baby. Hes, like, no, just do it. Stephen yeah, shell thank you later. applause youre also in the Upcoming Season of west world. Yes. Stephen ed harris was on the show last week. cheers and applause and ed ed said he said he doesnt understand the show. Right. Stephen do you understand the show . A little bit, yeah. Stephen yeah. I mean, i had to rewatch the Second Season again. Im such a crazy fan of that show. Stephen i am, too. When they ask me to be a part of it, i was just so excited to kind of get a peek behind their velvet curtain in it, in a way. Stephen would you be willing to be nude in it . Ed harris said he wont do one of the nude scenes. He wasnt nude . Stephen no, he refuses to be nude because a lot of people, a lot of them are robots, and they end up being nude. I thought everyone just ends up being nude on the show. Stephen yeah. laughter i mean, i may or may not be nude in the season. I dont know. Stephen well see. If you have to be nude, would you work out to look better nude or are you, like, no, im an actor, i want to be honest that this is what i actually look like. laughter i realize that question is implying that you look terrible nude. Am i going to do pushups in between takes . Probably not. But i if i know im going to be naked ill probably exercise, maybe not eat a bunch of pasta before. Stephen cheers, everybody. cheers and applause youve got a new show on apple tv called truth be told. Its about a journalist played by Octavia Spencer who is making a true crime podcast. Yeah. Stephen do you listen to true crime podcasts . People are obsessed with murder these days. Yeah, its very odd. Stephen yeah. Yeah, i was introduced to the podcast world with serial. That was the first podcast i dove into. I was so hooked, i couldnt stop listening. Sarah koenig was a big part of truth be told, she oversaw the podcastthe show, which was very exciting for me, and she was was one part of serial. I love it. Stephen we have a clip between you and Octavia Spencer. She plays poppy, this journalist who actually had a lot to do with putting my character in prison. My character warren kay was accused of murdering his nextdoor neighbor when he was 16 years old on halloween night, stabbing him to death, and he is serving a life sentence and hes been there about 19 years, but hes always declared his innocence, so this is them sort of coming into contact for the first time.
