Cant decide who has to clean up after thanksgiving dinner . Do the smart thing just move. Happy thanksgiving. Announcer its the late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight, talkin turkey. Plus, stephen welcomes ll cool j. And chef jose andres. 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 stephen hey thanksgiving is tomorrow cheers and applause hey, everybody. Welcome, one and all, to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. cheers and applause its thanksgiving eve. I hope you have all hung up your stockings and filled them with gravy. Now, as ive said, thanksgiving is tomorrow. Thanksgiving is tomorrow. If youre traveling today, we wish you a safe trip. But it could be a crowded one, because over thanksgiving, a record 31. 6 million passengers will travel on u. S. Airlines, and youre going to see all their feet. laughter right on the armrest, right there. But check the weather, because a couple of big storms are expected to blast the west coast and the midwest, and key airport hubs could see major delays. But do not worry. Because theres no reason you cant have a perfectly good thanksgiving eating hudson news almonds while charging your phone in the pet relief area. Okay. Yeah. applause youve got to make do. Jon come on stephen love the one youre with. Jon yeah, thats right. Do not worry. Stephen now, if youre packing, theres good news according to the t. S. A. , you can bring your thanksgiving turkey on an airplane. Just tell them its your emotional support meat. laughter okay, youve got to get the vest. Youve got to get the little vest. As for other thanksgiving foods, pie or cookies are allowed right in your carryon, gravy and cranberry sauce can go in your checked luggage, and corn pudding can go directly to hell. laughter and this thanksgiving, there are a bunch of democrats vying for a chance to carve up the white house turkey. And ill tell you all about it in tonights doing it donkey style. America is better than this stephen kick em, donks this week, the democratic field picked up yet another candidate billionaire and former new york mayor, michael bloomberg. Now, if you dont live in new york, you may not be familiar with bloomberg. Also, if you dont live in new york, youve never seen a fully naked man screaming at a discarded television on your way to drop off your kid at school. But as every new yorker knows, bloomberg doesnt exactly have an immaculate track record. Take his stopandfrisk policy, which disproportionately targeted black and latino men. Now, the mayors defenders will remind you that bloomberg immediately recognized that this was the wrong thing to do and apologized for it a week ago. laughter yes, he took a long, hard look at his past decisions, did some agonizing reappraisal, and realized that in his heart, hed really like to be president. Now bloomberg has also hit some bumps in the past when it comes to talking about women. See, he got to be a gabillionaire by selling a special line of computer terminals to trade stocks and back in the 80s during his sales pitch, he claimed the machine will do everything, including oral sex, adding, i guess that puts a lot of you girls out of business. Now, obviously, thats just an awful joke, and he did not mean it literally. But im guessing at least one finance bro had to find that out the hard way. laughter elsewhere elsewhere on the campaign trail, our old favorites are doing what they do best shaking their money makers. Bernie was in New Hampshire this weekend, and heres how he started his speech. The first thing im going to do is take off my jacket. Stephen as bernie the second thing im going to do is press play on this boombox and ask if the bachelorette has been a naughty, naughty girl. Okay. But it was at the afterparty when things got really exciting, because bernie took to the dance floor and was truly adorable. Check it out. Stephen bernie, just because youve had heart trouble, doesnt give you the right to melt mine. laughter then then, theres news from the campaign of former Vice President and man learning that the diner doesnt have the soup he likes, joe biden. Biden is still leading by double digits, nationally, but recently he has been slipping a bit in iowa, so hes been trying to rally supporters in the hawkeye state. We recently learned that last month, biden said this to supporters im asking you to take a look im asking for your help. Commit to caucusing for me on february the fourth. Only problem . The caucuses are february 3. laughter doesnt matter. Doesnt matter. Thats fine. What matters is the general election, and joe biden wants you to vote on november 35 you walk into that voting booth, you ignore all the buttons with the floor numbers. You just shout joe biden at the ceiling until the nice fireman comes and rescues you. Next up next up applause next up on the donk stonk, billionaire former Hedge Fund Manager and artist explaining the secret behind his turkey portrait, tom steyer. laughter steyer some people here were children once. Steyer has spent over 50 million of his own money on his campaign so far and is still only polling at 1. 2 . At a recent event, he was asked about his low odds of winning the nomination. Heres what he said i know this is going to sound a little strange, kenna. I dont want to be president. laughter stephen have i got some good news for you. applause but you do, you dont. Either you do or you dont. You just got to wait. But there is one rich dude who isnt running for president. Yesterday, we heard from papa johns founder and Madame Tussauds elvis statue that was left in a hot garage, john schnatter. Schnatter, you might remember, was fired from papa johns last year after he used the n word on a conference call. Oooh, schnatter really schnat the bed. laughter ever since, hes been trying to get back into the spotlight. This week, he appeared on a local Kentucky News channel to voice concerns about the current state of papa johns pizza. Ive had over 40 pizzas in the last 30 days, and its not the same pizza. Stephen 40 pizzas in 30 days. Move over, angelas ashes, because this is now the saddest story ever told. laughter so applause peggys pies. So what are schnatters complaints with the companys new pies . Its not the same product. It just doesnt taste the same. The way theyre making the pizza, the way theyre putting the pizza together, its just not fundamentally sound to what makes a papa johns pizza a papa johns pizza. Stephen youre not at a great point in your life when youre able to notice the drop in quality of a 4 pizza. laughter what . This isnt nearly as good as the pizza i normally eat while weeping in my car. laughter schnatter promises that you havent heard the last of him. I would just say, stay tuned. The day of reckoning will come. Stephen hes right. Ive eaten papa johns pizza. laughter and there is always a reckoning. laughter applause weve got a great show for you tonight ll cool j is here.

Jon, one of the pillars i believe one of the pillars of this industry we call entertainment, ll cool j. , is here tonight. The man always brings it, the consummate professional. Jon oh, yes. Stephen wake up your kids. Folks, as i said repeatedly in this show tonight, as if i have some sort of condition that forces me to repeat it tomorrow is thanksgiving. Tomorrow is thanksgiving. cheers and applause andtomorrow is thanksgiving. Anyway, tomorrow is thanksgiving. And weve got a lot to be thankful for here at the late show, starting with our book whose boat is this boat . Comments that dont help in the aftermath of a hurricane. This book was written, by accident, by donald trump. All of the words inside are things he actually said while touring the damage from hurricane florence. And thanks to our publishers, Simon Schuster, all proceeds from the book go to Disaster Relief, like world central kitchen, which was started by our guest tonight, jose andres. cheers and applause okay . If you want to help, pick up your copy today to help out, or check it out of the library for free, if you hate helping people. laughter which brings us to idahos coeur dalene library, which i do not have to tell you, was 2012s Idaho Library of the year. Suck it, North Bingham county Public Library i dont mean that, North Bingham county Public Library. You guys are the bomb now, you might remember, a couple of weeks ago, i told you that an unknown troublemaker in coeur dalene was taking books and hiding them around the library so patrons couldnt find them. Now, they havent been able to catch the culprit in the act, despite the librarys new campaign, if you see something, whisper something. laughter and heres the specific thing about this. The bandit evidently targeted leftleaning books, particularly anything that was critical of President Trump, and that included whose boat is this boat . audience boos now, obviously, from your ooooo, you agree, we couldnt let that happen. So a couple of weeks ago, we came up with a solution. I dont believe anyone should mess with library books. So we have decided to help out the readers of coeur dalene by sending them an unhideable edition of whose boat is this boat . Come on out there you go applause good luck hiding this one, sucker that book, which is an actual, functional, actual book, is three feet by four feet almost as big as the menu at the cheesecake factory. And im proud to say that our special unhideable version of whose boat is this boat . Has made its way to the coeur dalene Public Library. And weve got some exclusive footage. Here weve got a few librarians carrying the book in and starting to unpack it. They had some trouble figuring out where to shelve the book. So they brought the book over for a little story time for the kids. After which, one of the kids figured out it could be used as a tent. laughter so not only does this book fund hurricane relief, this edition can also serve as temporary shelter finally, a couple of Young Readers decided to check the book out, then lugged it out to their car to take it home to read. Fun fact that copy of the book weighs 27 pounds, so if those kids do a book report on it, it counts as both Language Arts and p. E. , although applause although, they should make sure to get it back to the library on time. Because any late fees incurred with the oversized edition must be paid via giant novelty check. And Coeur Dalenes library director, betty ammon, has a message for the culprit hiding all of these books. Betty . Any time a book is censored, a million more people want to read it. And, so, thanks. Stephen well said. Well said, betty so pick up your copy of whose boat is this boat today, wherever normalsized books are sold. Thank you, coeur dalene Public Library happy thanksgiving thanksgiving is tomorrow.

Woohoo yeah stephen hey, everybody, welcome back my first guest tonight is a multiplatinum, grammywinning artist, a bestselling author, and actor you know from his 11 seasons on ncis los angeles. Please welcome back to the late show ll cool j. cheers and applause stephen hey, dapper dan. Dapper dan. Stephen good to see you again. Whats up . Whats up . cheers and applause i like the vibe. Stephen now, this being wednesday, tomorrow is thanksgiving. Right. Stephen and this is this is our last show before we take a little bit of a break. Absolutely. Stephen i like to do the cooking. Do you do the cooking for thanksgiving . No, if i cooked you would be in the hospital. It would be tough. Stephen i find that hard to believe. Because i saw deep blue sea. You played a cook in deep blue sea. A jesusloving cook who has a cockatoo or Something Like that. Thats true. I love jesus, i like birds, but i only made an omelet in deep blue sea. Thanksgiving requires a little more cooking than that. And im not your guy, no. Stephen you never cooked for yourself . A lot of chinese food. Stephen i know that recipe. Lets not make it sound fancy. I can fry some baloney. I will whip up some baloney for you. You know, you take the fork and stick that little bubble and put on, you know, some toast and a little mustard and mayo. Stephen thats what im talking about. Im a master with that that. Stephen the whole thing goes in the turkey. Ill tell you one thing i can do i know how to carve a turkey. Stephen oh, really . Yeah. Stephen whats your approach . You go right by the back bone. Stephen and come in like that and its all slices. All my vegan friends are real unhappy with me right now. Sorry stephen now this is this is this is exciting. You announced that youre doing the youre hosting the Kennedy Center honors this year. Yes, yes. Stephen thats a great yes. applause . Thank you, thank you. Stephen its one of my favorite nights one of my favorite nights in the year. Also in 2017, you were the first hiphop artist honored with a Kennedy Center honor which was very meaningful to a lot of people. What did that mean to you . You know, its amazing because as my career progressed we were able to do a lot of firsts for hiphop and thats firsts for not just for me but it lifts the entire genre up and validates it with a certain audience at a certain level. Thats truly rarified and im honored to be a part of it. It will be cool to host and just have a good time and get out there. Its not about me. Its about the show. Were going to have some fun and, you know, Kennedy Center honors, baby, lets do it. Stephen i hosted a few time i hosted a few times and its its like a whole weekend. Its a really fun weekend, its like youre going to a wedding. You go to the state department, you have a dinner. I remember one year stephen that room at the state department, isnt it extraordinary . Its unbelievable. I remember having dinner, and i just remember sitting at the table with james brown, and im sitting there having dinner with james brown. And it was just, like, you know, i kept leaning huh . I was leaning over a little bit. But it was an amazing, amazing feeling to just sit there first of all, youre surrounded by so much you know, america we have look, lets talk about america for one second, right. We have our differences and a lot of us see the world with different threats and different things. But when you get past some of those threats and everybody thinks that threat is different, depending on where their viewpoint is, we really have an amazing country, right . Stephen sure. And i think that applause yeah. And i think that, you know, me sitting there with james brown and just sitting in that room, it just you know, it showed me that anything is possible. I didnt say that there arent systemic issues. I didnt say that there arent certain things that certain people arent held back, and certain doors certain people cant get in. We know there are things that exist in this country like that. But overall, i think that weve got a lot of upside, you know, doing this american thing. And we kind of got to, you know, not lose sight of that, you know what i mean . Stephen and that night when you go to the state department, its so beautiful, because when you walk in, the first room you walk into, there is the actual treaty of paris. I know, its crazy. Stephen signed by thomas jefferson. There is the desk that he wrote the declaration of independence on. Actually, David Rubenstein actually had a copy of it stephen the president of the senate. Yeah, yeah. He had a copy of the declaration of independence there, there, like, that he had purchased. Stephen you cant help but be moved by the entire thing. Its pretty interesting. But, remember, freedom should be for all of us, right . And we have to, you know, all be free, right. And i think thats very important. And its not about bitterness. Its not about trying to find something to be angry about. Its not about sticking your chest out just to be stick your chest out. But its about finding that common ground, that common connection, and acting on that and injecting a little bit of love into that. And i think that we can kind of move forward. Im not trying to be overly idealistic. Im just saying, its something we need. Stephen i think idealism is good. You have to have a standard, you know. You hope to behave that way. Absolutely. Stephen now, you started off when you were so young. Here are you this isnt even when you first started. This is you at 17. And youve already youd already been going for a couple years at this point. Yeah, i can tell by the jewelry. Yeah. Stephen you already i didnt start off with jewelry. Stephen you released your first song when you were 16. Yeah. Stephen did your family encourage you, or were they kind of baffled by the desire . Well, you know, i had a family i had a grandmother who always told me, if a task is once begun, never leave it until its done, be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all. And that sounds cute until i started oversleeping on monday morning because i had done concerts all weekend. And then it was, aagghh. So, i ended up leaving the house. I slept on the train for a while, slept at friends houses, jumping over roaches stephen you werent living at home because you prioritized your career and that was not understand. I had to leave, right, and then when i had 1,200, 1,500 bucks to contribute, come on in, baby all of a sudden i was, you know, salmon and grits, biscuits and rolls and, you know. So but, you know, it was a fun time. It was a fun time. Stephen did you ever think about quitting . You always yes, absolutely. Listen, listen stephen when did you stop thinking about quitting . You never stop thinking about quitting. Not if youre striving to be great and not if youre striving to make your dreams a reality. There is nobody who is successful that has never thought about quitting. Its absurd to even imagine that. You know, one of the most thats thats why thats what it takes, right . Its powering through those times where you feel like you cant make it. Its powering through those times when you feel like you should just forget everything. Stephen but once youve made it, theres i cant stay at the standard i want to keep for myself. If youre not getting better, youre getting worse. Making it, all that means is that youve achieved that goal. But if you want to live a full and rich life, when you achieve that goal, you need to set a new goal, right . So, there is no making it. Its not like oh, you get a check and you made it. Bill gates, phenomenal guy. Hes done incredibly well with his life and the finance, hes still trying to find a cure for malaria. You set new goals. Theres always going to be something because i think were on this planet to maximize our potential. Were not just here to either make a lot of money or be really famous, and thats it. Like, you want to maximize your potential, whatever it is you do. And i dont believe that dreams have deadlines. Ill give you an interesting example. Like, i was speaking to lonnie g. Bunch iii, he is the founder and the guy who built the National Museum of African American history and culture in d. C. At the smithsonian. Now that idea of building that museum is over a century old, over 100 years old. People have failed and tried and failed and tried. And this guy went in there and over the course of 11 years he was able to build this museum and take this museum to another level and now people from around the world can go down there and get an experience that they probably never would have gotten and thats essential to the american story because you want to know about all the people in america so you can have a better understanding of who we are as a country. So, when you look at that, that guy doing that, you know that dreams dont have deadlines, and theres never an end. Because he had done many things that were really amazing prior to that. So thats an example. cheers and applause stephen beautiful. Now, youre an actor on ncis los angeles, as everybody here knows. You started acting in the early 90s when you were already a successful hiphop star. Why did you want to become an actor, too . I didnt want to limit myself. I felt like i had the ability. And ill even be more candid. The first time i went to a record company, i said, im thinking about starting a new record, id like to get an advance, and the guy started adjusting himself in the seat. I said im not going to be handcuffed to this game. I have to be able to do different things. I have the talent i have the ability, with humility, but i have the talent and the ability to do other things. Im not going to be doing one thing just to be doing it, you know what im saying . Stephen have done it on ncis los angeles is in its 11th season. I will ask you again the first question i asked you about this show how much naval crime is there in los angeles . laughter and how good could you and Chris Odonnell be if theres still this much naval crime after 11 seasons . Yeah, yeah, yeah. Crime is over. Theres no more crime, yeah, yeah. Weve solved crime. Crime is solved. Stephen good to see you. Thank you so much for being here.

Please welcome our friend jose andres. band playing cheers and applause stephen please, have a seat. No, no, no. Maestro. Beautiful. Please. There you go. Hold on, friend. Let me pull up your collar. There you go. Now youre beautiful. Really . Stephen now youre beautiful. Jose, good to see you again. How have you been . Busy. Very excited. Im in the sofa immigrants can make it into the Stephen Colbert show sofa, too. cheers and applause stephen congratulations, its quite a moment for you. Its quite a moment. Stephen as people know youre a worldfamous chef, but you also want to help the world. Explain to the people who may not know what world central kitchen is and why you want to do it. Listen, chefs like me, we feed the few. But every day i see my profession wants to feed the many. So its very simple when, you know, you need to provide medical assistance after a hurricane, who do you send . Doctors. When you need to do a reconstruction, engineers, architects. When you need to feed people, who should go . Cooks like me. Thats what were doing. And every day, were more involved. cheers and applause stephen i know i know that you and your team went down to the bahamas with the Hurricane Dorian. How has the work down there been going . Listen, over this last weekend, the team of world central kitchen reached two million meals. cheers and applause stephen thats wonderful. And its such a thrill. We were before dorian, the teams were in puerto rico, then we moved north, and we saw it was going towards the bahamas. Teams were ready in florida, North Carolina waiting for it. Very quickly, they put on a plane, i joined them, we landed in nassau. We saw the destruction. Within five days we reached 55,000 meals a day. cheers and applause stephen when you get there or even before we see it on the news. What are you seeing on the ground that we actually dont see . Well, what youre going to see is at the end of the day that we have always is people that they want you to listen to them what they need. Sometimes we come from the outside, and we try to provide the aid they dont need. We need to listen to them, so the first thing is the people. We need to listen to the people because they know best what they want. applause and in our case, i always say that we dont meet, and we dont plan. You know, when Something Like this happens in the bahamas, nobody had food and nobody had water. What do you have to plan . Start cooking and start bringing water and start delivering as quick and as fast as you can. Thats what we do. applause stephen i know everybody out there people out there want to help. And i want you to tell them how they can help, other than, of course, buying whose boat is this boat . Because we you generous people out there in the Television Audience have bought this boat to help survivors of disasters over the last year. Over 2 million with the help of our friends at Simon Schuster has been raise forward Disaster Relief, half a million of which has gone to world central kitchen. And i want people to know you have generously raised 180,000 for the Hurricane Dorian relief through world central kitchen. Thank you for what youre doing. You can do more by buying the book. All profits all proceeds, not even profits go to help with Hurricane Dorian. What else can people do . Go to world central kitchen. Com . Wck. Org, and there youre going to learn what we do. But there are so many other organizations out there. Make sure that you inform yourself, that you learn about those organizations you are trying to help. And make sure that those organizations are really doing the work that they are promising to you. Make sure that that happens. applause thats it. Go with us or go with anybody else. Stephen now, youve got the new book here. Its called vegetables unleashed. laughter and youre encouraging people to cook vegetables. You say, vegetables are sexy, and, clearly, the new book is trying to get that idea across. laughter because thats a very intimate, intimate relationship with those carrots youve got going on there. Yeah, i mean, im a married man. Stephen but youre not dead. But my wife allows me relationships with carrots, with other vegetables. I mean, those vegetables believe me, i have a mini farm in my home, and im fighting the squirrels and the rabbits and the deer. And these vegetables tell me, jose, we only want to be loved. We only want you to listen to us, spend some time with us. And thats what i do. I give them some love back. Stephen now, heres heres heres another photo from one of the chapters. I understand you wanted this to be you wanted this to be the cover of the book. This was very controversial. They called me white walker, i dont know, because of the blue eyes . I have blue eyes. The vegetables love my blue eyes, i tell you now. And i thought this picture was so much me. I mean, this one is, like, i have a latenight show or something. laughter stephen dont insult yourself oh this was supposed to be a joke. Yeah. Youre not offended, right . Stephen you cant insult me. I have no reputation to lose. laughter i mean, its okay. Im a catholic. Sunday ill go to mass and ill ask for forgiveness. Stephen te absolvo now. Thank you. Stephen thanksgiving is tomorrow, and youre an american. Youve lived here for 30 years. You became a citizen in 2013. What advice do you have to people out there approaching the thanksgiving meal . Destress it for them. Give them some advice right now. Number one, if you are not cooking, just lie to the people who are cooking for you. Because you know your turkey is going to be dry. laughter you know the cranberry is going to not be very good and too sweet. I mean, the gravys going to be gummy, and you can put in the spoon and its going to hold up. I mean, do your best to lie to them. Your poker face. Tell them how juicy it is. When i pronounce juicy nobody understands me, so. Juicy. That was supposed to be a joke, people. Stephen you pronounced it too well. Finally i pronounce english well yeah. All stephen theres no hope to not have a dry turkey . No, theres no hope. I mean even if you watch all those newspapers and those food network type of shows that everything looks perfect they are lying to you, people. laughter they they its fake news. Fake news. laughter applause i mean, President Trump is right, its a lot of fake news out there stephen yes.
