Thats not going to last long, i dont think. Its a late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight the feeling is mutable. Plus, stephen welcomes dolly parton and musical guest Ty Dolla Sign featuring jon batiste and stay homin. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan Theater Office building in new york city, its Stephen Colbert stephen hey, everybody welcome, one and all. To a late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. Were are exactly two weeks away from the election. So, if you havent decided who youre voting for yet, good luck escaping that abandoned mineshaft. Or stay down there til we have a vaccine its hard to explain. We really need a vaccine. Its a long story. As the election day barelies down on us like an outofcontrol manure spreading, one of the last chances to influence the race is thursdays president ial debate. We at the late show will be live, with indepth political analysis and extensive coverage of whatever flying creature happens to steal the show. My money is on a fruit bat landing on kristen welker. Now, at the last debate, trump interrupted biden and Chris Wallace and this is true 128 times. So, the Debate Commission has announced there will be a mute button at the next president ial debate. Thats good while were at it, how about a fast forward button . Just zip straight to november 3. Now, this mute button wont be operational for the entire debate. Each candidate will be given two minutes to answer an initial question. During that portion, the opposing candidates microphone will be muted. On of course, trump could just interrupt biden by walking over to his podium, which is why the Debate Commission is also putting him on a child leash. Donald, not your turn. Go back to your podium. Do not do not eat that, young man the Trump Campaign is not happy. Campaign manager bill stepien told reporters, President Trump is committed to debating joe biden, regardless of lastminute rule changes from the biased commission in their latest attempt to provide advantage to their favored candidate. Enforcing the rules isnt giving someone an advantage. Thats like saying the olympic judges are playing favorites because they wont let me throw bricks at Michael Phelps they may not be happy but, ultimately, the mute button may play into trumps new strategy, because, reportedly, his debate coaches now want him to stop interrupting joe biden and to try to be more likable. Hold on. Now theyre trying to make trump more likable . Hes been the president for almos four years thats like a firefighter showing up to your house, waiting until everything has burned to the foundation, and saying, okay, lets try some water now the president s debate team has also indicated that trump will tell more jokes and strike a softer tone. But they also expect trump to keep going after bidens son hunter. So, softer, funny, but still attack. as trump, whispering why did the chicken cross the road . To buy crack for hunter biden. Too hip for the room . The campaign also wants to give biden plenty of space to make a gaffe, as the president explained this morning to the fox friends. There were a lot of people that say let him talk, because he loses his train loses his train he loses his mind, frankly. Stephen forget about biden. Trump just lost his train of thought between train and of thought. as trump im going to let biden talk until he loses his train. Loses his train. I am a train. Riding that train high on cocaine speaking of which, don junior. Do you have any more the best is yet to come powder . The inside of my skull is still sticky. Trump complained that the media is soft on joe biden. Look at yesterday. He walks out of a store, and the medias standing there, and they asked him what flavor ice cream did you get . I mean, think of this. I know. They never ask me a question like that. I want them to someday, but they never ask me a question like that. What flavor ice cream did you get . Stephen your favorite ice cream . Im going to guess ben jerrys dexamethacone dream. But then, then, later in the interview, trump got the question he asked for do you want to tell us what your favorite milkshake flavor is . Yeah, i would, in about a year or two when everything is so perfect, im going to let you answer that, or ask me that question. Stephen thats the softball you asked for just say your favorite milkshake as trump im not a white supremacist, but i am telling vanilla to stand back and stand by. Trump held a rally in tucson yesterday, and before he went do we need to redo that or cn i just keep going . Just keep going okay. Before he went on, he told reporters so were not going to edit that . Were not going to later see you edit it so i said is perfectly. Were going to stick with this. Transparency. Thats right. Thats the late show promise. Yes ill bleep up, but youll know. Okay. Stars, they dont do their job very well. He told reporters that hes not desperate because hes behind in the polls. Im not running scared. Im running angry, beca i think im running angry. Im running happy, and im running very content. Stephen as trump im not scared. Im angry angry at how happy and content i am which of course then makes me hungry, which makes me sleepy. Im also very doc and very dopey. Once he was on stage, trump assured the crowd that the pandemic is totally under control. We are rounding the turn. We have the vaccines coming and all, but even without, were rounding the turn. Stephen really, rounding . Have you seen the covid spikes . Hospitalizations are on the rise in 41 states. Were not rounding the turn. Im pretty sure were sharpening the turn. What were looking at here is a razorsharp turn. But trump said we should stop even trying to keep people from getting sick now, because people are getting sick of trying to do that. People are pandemiced out. You know that . Theyre pandemiced out. Stephen thats quite a rallying cry when were facing an existential threat. Were tired of it reminds me of churchill we shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them on the landing grounds. Hoo, boy, is anyone else a little nazid out . What if we just let the germans wash over us . Stephen still, trump knows that the economy has taken a hit, so he tacked a few words onto his Famous Campaign slogan. Under my administration, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world, and now were doing it again. You know, its make America Great again, right . I say make America Great again, again again, again. Stephen you know every again you add is really just admitting you screwed something up so bad you had to fix it. Its not that comforting. Its why arbys discontinued their slogan arbys, we have the meets, again. Stephen for a while it wasnt meat, evidently. But these rally crowds love trump. And he had an interesting reaction to that love. Crowd we love you thank you. Youre gonna make me cry dont do that. I dont wanna cry. I dont wanna cry. cheering make me cry, youll destroy my image, and then you wont love me anymore. That would be terrible. Stephen okay, im not saying i believe everything freud said about the impact of an unloving father, but when someone says if i cry, then you wont love me anymore, it seems pretty straightforward. as trump, stifling cry see, papa . No tears im not sad. Im totally happy and content. And angry then trump took aim at his nemesis the earth. The Green New Deal is the craziest thing, right . No more airplanes. No more double cars. Stephen no more double cars Everybody Loves double cars Everybody Knows what a double car is. You get a poppyseed bun, car, cheese, maybe chicken cutlet, car, bun. Or is it one car between two chucken patties i dont know. Trump said he felt great after getting treated for the covid, and he played whats fast becoming one of his latest hits. I woke up, and i felt good. I said, get me out of here. Boom, superman. Crowd superman, superman, superman. Stephen trump isnt superman. For petes sake, superman spends half of his time at least pretending to care about journalism. The daily slamit stephen trump pointed out how much sun hes getting at these rallies. Youre gonna see me tomorrow, im gonna look like a lobster. Youre gonna say, look what we did to him. They said, would you like to wear a hat . I said theres no way im wearing a hat. I gotta show these we gotta show strength, right . Stephen first of all, gonna look like a lobster . You already look like youve slathered yourself with drawn butter. And hats are a sign of weakness . Hats are kind of your thing your campaign has always been about hats. And, hats. It was always about hats. Trump is holding so many rallies because hes running out of cash to advertise. Meanwhile, bidens campaign is flushed with money, and hes targeting seniors by advertising heavily on shows such as jeopardy and wheel of fortune. In fact, last week, biden even sponsored one of the puzzles. Trump may be trailing biden in fundraising, but he told the crowd he could get all the money he needs, if he really wanted to. I would be the greatest fundraiser in history. Dont forget, im not bad at that stuff, anyway, and im president. cheering so i call some guy, the head of exxon. I call the head of exxon, i dont know, hi, how are you doing . How is energy coming . When are you doing the exploration . Oh, you need a couple of permits, huh . Okay. But i called the head of exxon. I said you know, i would love for you to send me 25 million for the campaign. Absolutely, sir. Why didnt you ask . Would you like some more . I would raise a billion dollar in one day if i wanted to. Stephen its bad enough that trump was bragging that it would be so easy for him to extort Illegal Campaign contributions from an oil company, but he also fisherprice phone. as trump hello, nasa . How is space . Still real big . Moon seems to be getting fat this month. Anyway, i need a billion dollars so i can be president. Thank you. Mommy has my chicken fingers ready, goodbye. This was a hypothetical scenario, but trumps reputation for quid pro quo is so bad, that the Exxon Corporation felt the need to clarify we are aware of the president s statement regarding a hypothetical call with our c. E. O. And just so were all clear, it never happened. Sure, we poison your coastlines, we bury Climate Change research, weve dabbled in regime change and brutal suppression of popular will in third world countries, but this guy might make us look bad. Trumps not just sick of coronavirus. Hes also sick of people trying to protect you from it. Hes been attacking dr. Anthony fauci, seen here telling one covid patient what not to lick. The president s been running off his mouth about fauci, calling him an idiot. Well, yesterday, in a radio interview, fauci said he wasnt going to comment on it, because he doesnt want the drama. And he used movie reference to prove his point i focus totally on the health and the welfare of the people of this country. Thats the only thing i really care about. That other stuff, you know, its like in the godfather. Nothing personal, strictly business, as far as im concerned. laughter stephen hes right. The trumps are just like the corleones. Who can forget this famous scene look how they massacred my boy. Hey, guys, hope youre doing well. Just watching my algorithms get crushed. I dont want his mother to see him this way. Stephen weve got a great show for you tonight. Dolly parton is here but when we come back, meanwhile. Join us, wont you. Not much, how about you . Are you answering my text in person . I am, yeah. Lol come on in. This is tech that helps you be there. The Nissan Altima now offering the most techadvanced engine in its class the Nissan Altima we knew that this wast really, really bad. We had ample forewarning. But we did almost no testing, almost no contact tracing. Completely ignored the science, completely ignored the warning signs. There were things that could have been done. A lot of people have died needlessly, and theres nothing more frustrating than feeling like youre fighting against someone who should have your back.

Joining me tonight is a legend who has written over 3,000 songs, won ten grammy awards, and has a new book called Dolly Parton Songteller. Please welcome the one and only dolly parton. Dolly, thanks so much for being here. Well, thank you i have missed you. Im so happy to see you again. Stephen i have missed you too, too. The last time we were together we sang and everything. I was about as as nervous as i have ever been with a guest but also had the most fun i have ever had with a guest. Im glad you gave me another shot. I thought i blew it. No, no, no. I thought you did a real good job. Everybody talked about it. They still talk about it. When i told them i was going to be on the show, they said, great, are you going to sing . I said i dont know. No telling what were going to do. Stephen you have the new book. Its called songteller. Why not songwriter or storyteller. What does songteller mean to you . When we talk about naming the books i was going to talk about songs i have written and i think of myself as a songteller, because i write songs and i tell stories in my songs. So that just popped in my mind, songteller. I thought, well, thats a good name for my coffee table book. It has about 170someodd songs of mine. And i tell stories about why i wrote them, what kind of frame of mind i was in, what was going on in my life at the time, showed a lot of old pictures that a lot of people hadnt seen from my childhood, and growing up in the business. So i just thought since i tell stories in my songs, that that would be the perfect title. Stephen now, when did when did it when did it strike that you that, as great as a performer as you are, a player and a singer, that really, your lost was the writing and storytelling and that you could do this for other people . Well, ive known that my whole life. I love to sing, and i certainly love to sing the songs i do write, and i love to perform. I love my fans. But theres just something about writing songs. Its just kind of, like, my personal time with god. You know, i dont need anything other than just me and whatever instrument im using at the time. Its moi quiet time. I just go into that little zone, and i just feel like i can express myself in ways that i dont need a doctor for. I dont have to have therapy. I can just kind of sing it all out, write it all out. And i can write for other people, too, like you said, because i see things happen to other people, and i think, they dont know how to express how they feel, so theyre depressed or theyre sad. So i write songs for them as well. Stephen now, besides writing your own hits, i understand that, was it Emmylou Harris that you first wrote a song that someone else recorded of yours . Well, actually, theres a story about that. Emmylou had a number one song, a song i wrote call to daddy, and it was back during the time i was working still working with the Porter Wagoner show, the man that had given me my first big break. Stephen sure, i used to watch. A syndicated show. I had recorded a whole album, and we were thinking about putting to daddy out as a single for me. And so emmylou came to the studio, porter wanted her to come down and listen to what we were doing. So she turned to me and said, oh, dole, you have to let me record to daddi because im needing a really good song. She said, can i have that one . I said,i think we were going to be putting that out as a single. And porter said, yeah, we were. And she said, oh, please, let me have the song. Y soi gave her the song. Porter got so mad at me thats one of the biggest fights we ever had. Thats when i really knew for sure that i was sincere as a songwriter and it meant more to me to have someone sing a song i had written than it was for me to have a record out on that song, or any song. Stephen is it sort of a special feeling, or do you get this feeling ever when youve written something and you think youre going to record it or maybe you have recorded it and you hear somebody else do a version of it, and you go, oh, theyve got every part of that ball. They hit that in a way i didnt expect and they made it beautiful in a way that i didnt i didnt anticipate . You know, well, thats a good question, and im glad you asked that one, because theres a perfect example of that. Im always happy when anybody does any song that ive written, and i love how different people interpret them. But when Whitney Houston did i will always love you, the song they wrote that was a simple, sweet, little heartfelt song, and she took it it and made it so big and so beautiful. When i heard that, i couldnt believe that was my song. I thought, thats my song . Thats my little song . But thats just become like a classic. So thats a great example of how people can take your songs and make them into whatever it depends on how you arrange them and produce them and how you sing them. Stephen now, i understand that your mom used to teach you songs that tell stories. Like oldfashioned songs. Do you remember any of the ones your mom would sing with you . I remember all of them. Momma used to sing all those old songs brought over from the old world. Momma was a good singer, too, and she would just sing a cappella all the time, and so many of those songs were sad, and as i say, some of them just plumb pitiful. But i remember many songs. There was a song she used to sing bury me beneath the willow. It was about a girl that was going to get married and her boyfriend left her at the altar, or whatever. So she died, of course, killed herself i suppose bury me beneath the willow under the weeping willow tree where he may know where i am sleeping and perhaps hell weep for me. So anyway, theres more to it. It was about her thinking today was our wedding day but where oh, where can he be . Hes gone to seek him another bride he cares no more for me and he goes, are you crying . Oh, bury me beneath the willow under the weeping willow tree where he may know where i am sleeping and perhaps hell weep for me so i better hush before you cry yourself to death and we cant finish the show. laughter stephen im under a lot of stress right now, dolly. And i know youre not really crying. Stephen ill tell you right there. That was pretty beautiful. We used to cry when momma would sing that. Momma would cry. Wed cry. And those old songs were just amazing, though. Stephen isnt it funny that sometimes theres nothing happier than a cry . Isnt that isnt that i think it cleanses your soul. I think the water is good to wash it out. Its what tears are for, i think. Stephen im sure a lot of people ask you what your first lyrics were, but im just curious, what are your latest liribs . What are you writing now. I havent had a chance to write a whole lot lately because weve been really doing a lot of promotion. I had written down eye dont know if it meant i was singing it to the world or a person, i had an idea come to mind like i love you, whether you like it or not and im going to love you till i decide to stop you cant tell me what to do you cant make me love you because i love you i can sing that to you i love you and you cant stop me. Stephen im not going to try. I promise you that. Okay. Stephen youve been married let me get it right here youve been married to this man there you go. Oh, yeah stephen carl dean, right there. Okay. You said 54 years. You say god speaks to me through carl dean. What do you mean . How so . You know, well, i mean, we are so close. And ive often said that. But were so you know, were so in tune with each other. Ill be thinking about something thats worrying me or grieving me, and ill pray about something kind of waiting for an answer, and hell sometimes just up and just say something,and its just like, well, i didnt i didnt say anything to you about that. But it just seems hell say, now you dont need to be worrying about soandso or soandso. I dont know if he senses how im feeling. But i have always said that god speaks to me through him. But i guess thats what love is. I guess when youre in tune and you know somebody so well. But i have often said that. And people say that sounds freaky. But its not like that. But i just know that god talks to me in different ways, not in, you know, words or anything, but they come my answers come at different times. But many times they come right through carl. Stephen i think thats beautiful. I feel the same way about my wife, shes evidence to me. Shes evidence that i should pay more attention to the way god talks because thats a good way to say it. Hes evidence to me. Gods in there. But, honestly, its been unusual through the years. Hes very intuitive, too. I think hes kind of clairvoyant at types. So whatever works, its worked for 54 years, 56 together. And we have a good relationship. Hes got a great sense of humor, so weve made it really well. And thats his its my well, actually, we got married again when we were married 50 years. So now he tells people that im his second wife. I said, dont say that. Im still the only one. Stephen youve got a new album here, too. This is a holly dolly christmas. There you go. I think Everybody Needs some christmas cheer this year. People are worried about what theyre going to do with the holidays. Its the numberone song on billboards country and holiday charts. Willie nelson, miley cyrus, jimmy fallon youre breaking my heart here, dolly. I know. But he had asked me years ago if i would sing on his show one time, if i would sing all you i want for christmas su, and i didnt know it, but i learned it. I put it in the album and called him, do you still want to sing that song . Do you want to sing it with me. We that. But youre a better singer. Stephen thank you, thank you. And youre a better guest. laughter but i do that, a lot of fun people on that. Billy ray cyrus, and miley, and willy, and michael boublee. I wrote a song for us. It has about six special guests on it, in addition to some traditional things, and some new things that id written. So im proud of the album. Stephen hey, everybody, we have to take a break.

In may, you released a song about the pandemic which is called, when life is good again. What kind of song do you think the world needs right now in these in these troubled times . Well, i think they need i think they need more of that kind of stuff. And i really felt led to write that. And ive written some other songs along those lines about the pandemic and maybe, you know, im going to put Something Else out. I have all this christmas stuff and everything going now. But i do have some other things written about this time going on. So i just really felt like i should write something, and that one has some really good lines that i think everybody started looking at themselves a little deeper than they had before. When it says, when life is good again, ill be a better friend, a better person when life is good again, ill open up my heart and let the whole world in when life is good again, and laugh and dance and sing with our friends, and that sort of thing. It was an uplifting thing that lets people know its going to be all right. When life is good again well do more fun stuff. And i hope we will. I cant wait for this year to be over, can you. Stephen no, i cant. Crazy, crazy. Stephen i said i want a fastforward button, and that will be nice. Everybody has their favorite dolly parton songs. I got to sing mine with you, butterfly. What are your and this will be definitive so i want you to give it some thought, dolly parton what are your top three dolly parton songs . Well, my very Favorite Song from a very personal level is the code of many colors. Its kind of a signature song of mine. And its more than about the little coat. Its about my mom, its about my family. Its about acceptance and its about tolerance, and it even speaks to bullying, how the kids made fun of me at school. They teach it in some of the grammar schools around in tennessee. And they use that little song about not making fun of people, that its okay to be different. We are who we are and we need to accept and love each other. That one, certainly, i love because of my mom, and its a true story, and i have treasured memories of that. And as far as a singer songwriter, all singers love to have a song that you can sing tender, and then you can go big if you want to. You can sing loud or show how much volume you know you have, and how much range and all. So i would think that the i will always love you song is really good for that. Because i can sing it little or i can sing it big. And so not just because i wrote them, but that one is real special. But i like songs that ive recorded in albums that a lot of people have never heard. Theres a song called down interest dover and a lot of people love it. Its about a girl that got pregnant and she had to leave home and go out and live on a farm with an old lady and all that. So back at the time, when i put it out on a record, they wouldnt play it on the radio. Lord, now, you can have a baby right on television. Seats like its all different. So i really love, you know, some of my songs like that that tell stories. And, of course, jolene is everybodys favorite. Ad i enjoy singing that one. Most of my songs they love the best are songs that nobodys ever heard, so to talk about them they wouldnt even know what im talking about. But i just enjoy a lot of stories. Thats why im a songteller. Stephen dolly, its so lovely to see you again. Thanks so much for being here. See you later. Stephen Dolly Parton Songteller is available november 17.
