Its the most nordic story ever. Jon, can i have some bleak music, please . . . . It was a grim it was a grim hundreds of reindeer were strewn across the desolate plateau, and a researcher who inspected the scene said, the air was filled with a smell that seemed both sweet and sour.

Folks this is actually this is show 202 that were doing on the show tonight. applause which brings us to the end of season one. This is it. This is a full year of shows on the late show. Thank you, guys. Thank you, audience, everybody out there, for watching. Thank you to the whole staff. Guys, go get some rest. We gotta go do it again. So, this is still happening. Donald trump is still in the news. You guys have heard of him . One of the biggest issues hes trying to tackle is innercity violence. Luckily, he recently got an inside tip on how to stop all the crime in chicago. In chicago who is not the police chief and he i could see by the way he was dealing with his people, he was a rough, tough guy. They respected him greatly. I said, how do you stop this . How do you stop this . He said, mr. Trump, i would be able to stop it in one week. And i believed him, 100 . Stephen if you think thats impressive, he also saw this movie about how this top robopoliceman who fixed all of detroit in two hours. And hows the magical popo man going to clean up chitown . Dont ask donald. But he exactly, precisely, how. No, i didnt ask him because im not the mayor of chicago. But ill tell you what. I sent his name in, and i said, you probably should hire this guy. laughter stephen so lets recap here. Donald trump claims he met a top Police Officer who said he could solve chicagos crime faster than it takes to paint a house, and trumps response was, thank you. I have no followups. But he was so impressed, that he and in response, a spokesman for mayor rahm emanuel seemed slightly confused by trumps apparent suggestion that the Chicago Police hire someone who already worked for the Chicago Police. cheers and applause yeah. I gotta say, the marrs spokesman makes a good point. The mayor should really hire that guy. But if trump really does have a solution, theyre open to it. Chicagos Police Superintendent recently. cheers and applause i believe, i believe thats a new one on show 20 wo. I called him Chicagos Police superintestent. Chicagos Police Superintendent recently said to trump, if you have a magic bullet to stop the violence, let us know. Okay, let me just say here a magic bullet to stop violence . Thats like saying, if you have an idea of how to reduce knife violence, take a stab at it laughter or, if you know of a way to stop arson in the city, fire away or if youve got a new plan for preventing kidnappings, take it away, baby but sorry, Police Department donald trump didnt become a fake billionaire by working for free. If you want Donald Trumps supersecret, crimefighting plan, you have to elect him president. Do you think he would just stop senseless violence out of the goodness of his heart . Was this top cop that trump met with . Because the Chicago Police departments says, no one in the senior command has ever met with donald trump or a member of his campaign. Okay, two possible answers either trump made him up, or the cop was just deep under cover as a figment of trumps but we did a little digging, and i am happy to say we have the cop that trump spoke to here tonight. Pleads welcome live from chicago via satellite, officer rod johnson. Happy to be here, stephen. Stephen so you met with donald trump . Thats correct. I was on my way to investigate a noise disturbance, and mr. Trump stopped me to ask how we could clean up this city. I told him theres some naughty people out there who need to be in cuffs. Stephen wait, naughty what kind of cop are you . Im a rough, tough cop, stephen. Im not afraid to get down and dirty. cheers and applause stephen well, i gotta say, that sounds all well and good, but how are you going to face down criminals if youre not even carrying a gun . Oh, ive got guns. . . . cheers and applause stephen, you have the right to cheers and applause stephen oh, my god.

My first guest tonight is an Emmy Awardwinning actress you know as skyler white from breaking bad. I know her from drinking backstage at the emmys. She now stars in the new movie, equity. I grew up in a house where there was never enough. I was raiseed by a single mom with four kids. I took my first job on wall brothers through college. But i am not going to sit here and tell you that i only do what i do to take care of other people, because it is okay to do it for ourselves, for how it makes us feel secure . Yeah. Powerful . Absolutely. I am so glad that its finally acceptable for women to talking about ambition openly. But dont let money be a dirty we can like that, too. Stephen you go, girl. Please welcome anna gunn . . . cheers and applause stephen the last time we were together we were both in a good mood because we both won emmys. You won for skylar. I had. Stephen first year . Yes. Stephen first year of fun. And we bonded over both going to northwestern university. We did. Stephen i graduated a little before you did. Where did you hang out. Yesterdays . I went to j. B. Win berries. Stephen i was a waiter. I was the artichoke dip very big. Stephen the the cajun shrimp fettucine. This was the 80s. Everything was blackened in the 1980s. Did you work for craig . I did thats crazy, i did. Stephen yeah, craig. Whats going on. I was the worlds worst waitress. Stephen i need you to go check the bathrooms. Okay. Come downstairs with me. There was a lot of touching. Stephen a lot of shoulder rubbing. A lot of shoulder rubbing. Im not that tense, craig. He was scary. Yeah, hed come and ask you down to the office to tip you out. Stephen lets talk. Tip you out. So, yeah, there was j. B. Win berrys. There was a little bennigans. I lived in jones dorm. Stephen you were a theater major. The people in jones dorm were like,im going live forever. The leg warmers, the whole thing. How about j. K. Sweets. I did go there. Stephen i lived above sweets. Now, i remember. Stephen youre just being nice pup dont remember anything. Im just trying to play along. Stephen now, youre playing obviousliy, we know you as skyular, but now youre in equity where you play a powerful woman on with the. Do you think you could live in that world . Are you a good negotiator . Well, i had to be a good negotiator starting out as an actor, because you really have to chase it down. So i remember going on a play they really wanted. And the director said, youre wonderful, but this woman needs to be very unstable, and you actually come across as very stable person. And i went and wrote her a fivepage letter it was in the days of fax machines still. So she lived in england and i kept trying to fax this fivepage letter and kept saying it was incomplete and didnt go through, so i sent it through five times an a ream of fax paper stretching across her house and she read it and said, i think she is unstable enough to play this role. So there you go. Stephen did you do youre a real actress. Are you method . Did you go to whats a ridealong on with the . Whats the equivalent of doing a ridealong . Its like a runalong through goldman sax. They took us on a tour you went down there and actually followed people around. Through the hallways with these women, and they im obviously tall and im a pretty fast walker. But they navigate those hallways in heels like nobody ive ever seen, and i was practically having to jog to catch up with them. And it was something we wanted to establish in the movie to see naomi as this very powerful woman striding through the hallways there their heels. When im aibility of a im a bit of a heel wimp, and i slipped actually after the first week of shooting, went up like a banana like i slipped on a panana peel, came down on top of my left foot, totally landed on top of my left took, thought it was broken. Out of a 24day shoot it wasnt broken, everything was fine. But i had to wear a cast, a boot, and air cast so they shot me knees up for 14 days of a 24day shoot. Stephen are you wearing a cast in that scene . Were seeing you sitting down. Established shots of me walking so they actually got it, but i had to learn how to adjust my gate so i wasnt galumping around like that. Stephen what do these women say what its like to be a woman in finance . One of the most interesting thing say they had that i didnt really, is that its a psychological enterprise, really. They have to really know the clients needs. You have to read what they want, whether they need a sort of firm, strong hand. Wh gentied along essentially. You have to balance that against the investors neez. And they talked a lot about having to Pay Attention to what color youre wearing. Pay attention to what your hair is. All those things which women normally dont do at all. No, women dont Pay Attention to anything like that. Stephen gold man sacks specifically wall street in general, but goldman is bankrupt. Women are seen as nicer or having a better moral compass as men do. Are these women saying they can make wall street better or saying you need to be as greedy and evil as everybody else . Theyre not saying that at all. Stephen which one . Theyre not saying the former. Wait. Which one did you say . Stephen are women on wall street do they have better moral compasses i felt they did. I felt they did. And i felt they really were believing in them, believing in, you know, guys who started a company in their garage and taking it into the public sector. And i thought, you know, i really felt that it was a passion for them. It wasnt just about crunching the numbers and making the money. Stephen one of the reasons i wanted to ask is because wall street has a likeability problem. Like, people dont trust them. They think theyre greedy. Do you mind playing somebody who is not likable . Do you mind the blowback you fet i got blowback from skylar, and there was the skylar hate on the internet. That was a really tough thing to deal with. At first i didnt understand was it the way i was playing the part. Vincent Vince Gilligan and all the writers, we talked about it. We were really confused. And after a while i realized that its both the fact that people can say whatever they want anonymously on the internet. Nobody ever came up and said,boy, i hate your character. They would write horrible things on the internet. And i just felt that it was important towards the end of the show i wrote an oped for the New York Times about it because i had been asked about it so much. And it seemed to me that it was reflecting how we still are perceiving gender roles and traditionally i heard those stories but i didnt hear those stories about walter white. Exactly. Stephen they liked the antihero. They liked the antihero and they did not like the woman stephen theres a kind of hillarytrump thing. While people dislike hillary for their own reasons and dislike trump for their own reasons, i think the people who like trump like that people dislike him because they dont want a nice guy in office. They want somebody who will kick ass. Its the likeability factor again. When youre looking at Hillary Clinton, you have to look at her policies, at her intellect, at her, you know, track record, at the fact shes been in Public Service for all these years, not hairstyle or the color of her outfit. And i think thats something women really do have to deal with. Its something again i learned in my research for the movie, for equity, and something i went through. I felt like i went through a ring of fire with skylar, but i think the fact we keep speaking out about it, pushing at it, and knocking on that door. I think progress is being made. applause . Stephen well, it was lovely to see you. Thank you, so nice to see movie. Equity is in theaters now. Anna gunn, everybody well be right back with some fantastic products youve never heard of.
