Binging the queens gambit. But now, all thats left is to eat a tub of frosting, because when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. But when life gives you a Global Pandemic that just wont end, you eat a bucket of frosting. Mmmm what pandemic . Cinnabon frosting give up. Upon announcer its a late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight the devils advocate. Plus, stephen welcomes formula one champion Lewis Hamilton and musical guest Andrea Bocelli 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 good to see you. Welcome to a late show. I am your host, Stephen Colbert. Evy is here tonight. Thats always a good show. Thats always a lot of fun. Thank you for being here, 3450eu darling. My pleasure stephen its two weeks to the day since the election, and im beginning to breathe easier. Its like ive had a weight on my chest. Doctors say it was 239 pounds, but it felt heavier. Anyway, im feeling good. But down in d. C. , the president is slowly, agonizingly going through the five stages of narcissist grief denial, denial, denial, denial, denial, and denial. I know thats six, but rudy is demanding a recount. Ill catch you up on the latest in tonights edition of my unfortunately ongoing segment na na na hey hey i wont leave the road from the white house. Tell them what theyve won stephen rather than finally facing reality, according to advisers, the president is more dug into his position than he was at the beginning. This afternoon we learned this. Apparently, the president is considering cancelling his trip to maralago. Stephen well, history is famously kind to autocrats who lose and then retreat underground. While the commander in doof vows to fight on, reportedly, all of his people are despondent. Welcome to the club. I dont blame them. Do you have any idea how hard its going to be for them to get a job . Or a spitless burger . So far, the campaigns legal challenges are not going well. Since friday, cases challenging the Election Results have been dropped in arizona, michigan, georgia, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. To be clear, dropped. Those are withdrawn cases. They didnt even lose them. They prelost them. Its like coming in last in the indy 500 because you decided not to buy a car. laughter more importantly, the president was frustrated that his campaign lawyers were not appearing more frequently on television. He wants his claims of Election Fraud taken all the way to the highest court in the land hot bench to rectify this situation, the president has named Rudy Giuliani to head the legal team. As one Campaign Official noted, its really more of a publicrelations fight now than a legal one. Rudys perfect for this job, because i dont know about public relations, but hes an old hand at pubic relations. laughing rudys already getting all legal. In fact, today he appeared in the campaigns federal case in pennsylvania. Of course, he wasnt there alone. He was accompanied by his law partners, ernest and julio gallo. Things have gotten contentious behind the scenes. After the campaign dropped a lawsuit in arizona, on speakerphone, rudy called the Trump Campaign lawyers liars for telling the president his odds of changing the outcome of the election were slim. In response, one Campaign Official called rudy a quote bleep ass bleep . And the winner for nicest thing ever said about Rudy Giuliani is. Its that. Its that. Its that. laughing turns out, rudy has tried to wrestle power away from the current longstanding Campaign Leadership in an internal campaign coup. Wait, they are attempting a coup inside their coup . That is coupcoup that joke sent to us by little richie dahm, age eight. Thank you, richie. Youll be getting a copy of our home game. laughter and now a report says giulianis asking the president s campaign to cough up 20,000 a day for his legal work. But its worth every penny for expert legal argumentation like this and then you start doing ballots like this duhduhduhduhduhduh. Stephen duhduhduhduhduhduh. Thats either him counting ballots or trying to cold start his handcrank pacemaker. With their legal cases floundering, some republicans are encouraging other clearly undemocratic means to keep the president in office, like South Carolina senator and surgeon trying to remember which patient he left that scalpel in, Lindsey Graham. Turns out, georgias secretary of state Brad Raffensperger says graham and other republicans have pressured him to toss legal ballots. Well, they finally found some voter fraud and its always the last place you look in the mirror. According to raffensperger, senator graham was concerned that he wasnt disqualifying enough of georgias mailin ballots based on signatures that dont match the registration, so graham had a suggestion senator graham implied for us to audit the envelopes and then throw out the ballots for counties who had the highest frequency error of signatures. Stephen so, because some people have sloppy signatures, Lindsey Graham wants to throw out all of the votes from whole counties. Thats like saying, well, this door hinge is squeaky, th simplest thing is to just burn the house down. Graham denied making any uncomfortable demands of the secretary. I think thats just ridiculous. If he feels threatened by that conversation, hes got a problem. I actually thought it was a good conversation. Stephen in other words, it was an absolutely perfect phone call. Stephen but its not just graham. Raffensperger also said he and his wife, tricia, have received Death Threats in recent days. Obviously, that is sad and horrifying, but according to raffensperger, its also very disillusioning, particularly when it comes from people on my side of the aisle. Yeah, you expect threats from the other side, but it hurts so much more when it comes from the heavilyarmed yahoos whose unlimited gun rights youve been protecting your entire career. Raffensperger actually saved his harshest language for georgia representative douglas a. Collins, who is leading the president s efforts in georgia and who raffensperger has called a liar and a charlatan. Ooh, a charlatan watch out, collins soon hell call you a scallawag, a mountebank, a chisler, a lilywhacker, a rapscallion, a grumbletonian, a flimflammer, and a shibaroon. Theyre all in his new book 50 polite ways to call doug collins a dick. laughter its a bestsaler. Its a bestseller. But some republicans are starting to face facts, like florida senator and vice principal hoping someone will show up for zoom office hours, marco rubio. Rubio was asked about bidens potential choice for National Intelligence director, and he said this well, that will be the president elects decision, obviously. You just said president elect. Are you saying biden is the president elect now . Well, ultimately, thats what the results, the preliminary results seem to indicate. Stephen that is some weak acceptance of the inevitable. Id hate to see the g. O. P. Version of annie. The sunll come out tomorrow ultimately the preliminary results seem to indicate therell be sun just thinkin about, tomorrow the moon has the legal right tomorrow the moon has the legal right to pursue legal challenges til its done its a hard fraud case to back but we gotta smooch his crack laughter i started both of those slightly higher key than im comfortable with. Rubio you felt the emotion. Rubio isnt the only g. O. P. Official taking a baby step toward reality. So is idaho senator and latest puppet creation from the mind of jeff dunham, james risch. Risch admitted to reporters that biden won, adding, this is my second transition where we move from one Political Party to another in the white house. It is a change in the music that is playing in the background. We go from heavy metal to Classical Music in one fell swoop. Yes, goodbye to the president s heavy metal. The last song on his set list . Enter blandman. Woooooo yesterday, a reporter asked joe biden about the realworld cost of the president s obstruction, and the transition, and the president elect did not mince words what do you see as the biggest threat to your transition right now, given president trumps unprecedented attempt to obstruct and delay a smooth transfer of power . More people may die if we dont coordinate. Stephen were doomed i mean, is this a man who looks coordinated . But biden was optimistic were moving along knowing what the outcome will be. I find this more embarrassing for the country than debilitating for my ability to get started. Stephen oh, were way past embarrassment, joe. After a full term of this president , we could get our period in gym class, accidentally call the teacher mom, trip in the hallway in front of our crush, and still be like, yeah, better than the last four years. Lets move on to perhaps the biggest news of the day the Rockefeller CenterChristmas Tree has arrived in new york city okay, its cool, nbc. You guys have your own nationally recognized holiday icon. Meanwhile, nobody ever talks about the times square cbs cornucopia, even though it is overflowing with festive 60 minutes correspondents however, one citys christmas decoration did not go off exactly as planned, because the Christmas Tree in cincinnati went viral for embodying how we feel in 2020. Uh, okay, but im not sure i buy that. Christmas trees are cheerful and happy how could that possibly embody how everyone is yeah, okay. Yeah, thats me. Thats got the feels. That tree looks like it just went on its last march into isengard. So why does sad tree look sad . Well, Officials Say many of the branches are still tied with twine. Oh, yeah, its the twine. Can i start using that excuse, too . I know it may look like i havent exercised since march, but thats just the twine. You untwine me, and im harder than a hemsworth. Right, honey . Oh, absolutely. Stephen absolutely, thank you. After that initial picture went viral, cincinnati officials kept working on the tree and released this afterphoto awwww that spruce got all spruced up so it started out incredibly sad and pitiful, but somehow in early november, it turned things around and restored peoples hope . This tree really does embody 2020, especially in january, when we get to throw the whole thing in a woodchipper. Weve got a great show for you tonight. Formula one champion Lewis Hamilton is here.

Jon oh, shot heard around the world. Stephen it was magic. Do you have any music to set the scene for rest of the show, sir . Jon lets see. Stephen jon batiste, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, jon. Jon yes, indeed. Lay it on. Folks, you know, i spend a lot of time tracking the temperature and flowering patterns of the maple tree of topical stories so that i can know the exact peak moment to tap it with my spile. I carefully observe the flow of story sap into the bucket and then transfer the initial run to another storage unit using cheesecloth to filter out any foreign material. I then dig a small outdoor fire pit and boil the stories until they are golden in color, bring them inside for a second boil, which i carefully monitor until it reaches 7 degrees fahrenheit past the boiling point of water at my current elevation. Then, then i remove any sediment, filter it one last time, and transfer it to blown glass bottles to create the gradea maple news syrup that is my monologue. But sometimes, sometimes i like to just head outside with a fork and scrape some of the crusted sap off the nearest pine, mix it with the soda and backwash left in a dented can of fanta on the counter, then drizzle it on yesterdays pancakes to create the drifters breakfast topping of news that is my segment quarantinewhile quarantinewhile, an art restoration in palencia, spain, has gone terribly awry. See the lady smiling at her animals and harvest fruit . Well, after the restoration, she now looks like this whats spanish for frying pan face . Its like someone slapped a butter sculpture on a hot day. This seems to be a real problem in spain. We all remember that countrys other famously botched restoration job potato jesus. What exactly is the vetting process for art restorers in spain . Sorry, estaban, im afraid it appears you have a masters in fine art, both your hands and eyes, and youve seen the original piece. That kind of thing might fly in france, but weve decided to go with an insane macaque holding a paintbrush in its tail. Quarantinewhile, in bad news news, multiple people have tested positive for covid19 on a cruise ship in the caribbean. That headline again thing everyone knew would happen, happens. laughter quarantinewhile, video has gone viral of a helicopter carrying a heart for a transplant patient that crashed on the roof of an l. A. Hospital. No one was seriously hurt, and the heart was recovered from the wreckage and handed off to this doctor, okay, who treated it with the care and caution it deserves theres the handoff. He tripped like a cartoon waiter, spilling the heart on the helipad. Calm down calm down everyones fine. Good news the transplant was a success it was dirty. Stephen but it would be fun to be that patient. Youre getting ahead of my punch line. as doctor your procedure went great, thanks to your cardiologist, larry, and his attendings, moe, and curly. You may have some discomfort in your chest, but thats just the wet leaves and helicopter fuel. Cant actually talk. You said essentially the punch line. Maybe you should write it. laughter thank you for being here. Quarantinewhile, we were all excited about the news of modernas new vaccine. And it turns out dolly parton partly funded Modernas Covid vaccine research. Which explains why the vaccine to tune of 9 to 5 working 95 percent of the time. Joke is based on a true story. Quarantinewhile, the twitter world is atwatting over the news that twitter just introduced fleets, fleeting tweets that disappear forever after 24 hours, the perfect option for users who feel remorse about something they posted. Just what twitter needs people saying things too awful to remain on twitter. Now, if youre not enthused about the idea of fleets, dont worry, because twitter says its main global town square Service Remains its marquee product. Really . I got to say, twitter makes for a pretty crappy town square. Hear ye hear ye bell ringing toaster strudels are better than pop tarts. And anyone who disagrees is a liberal cuck. And now, enjoy a picture of my butt. laughter that is damn loud. You can talk any time you want during this. I apologize. Quarantinewhile, cbs new york just broke this story right here in the big apple. Another illegal gathering is busted in new york city. This time, investigators say a socalled fight club was operating inside of a crowded bronx warehouse. Stephen well, it makes sense that this got out. Its just like tyler durden says the first rule of fight club is tell cbs news about fight club laughter stephen but the fighting isnt even what will shock you most about what was going on at fight club. Investigators say they found two handguns, drugs, and unlicensed alcohol. They also say very few people were wearing masks. Stephen please, everyone. This holiday season, wear a mask while you smash your fellow mans face into a pulpy mush. Its just courtesy. Also, no bringing nana to fight club. Shes in a vulnerable group. Quarantinewhile, id like to move on to my ultrarare quarantinewhile subsegment naughty pope news. laughter todays naughty pope news it appears the pope just liked this photo on instagram. Now, people have pointed out that the pope does not necessarily control his own instagram feed, but francis still offered this compelling explanation translated my brothers and sisters, regarding my recent instagram incident, i want to assure you that i like big butts, and i cannot lie. You other brothers by which i mean monks cant deny, when a girl walks in with an ittybitty waist and a round thing in your face, you must examine your conscience. Stephen well be right back with a look at the Vice President elects fashion. Sort of. So, uh, yeah, just a silly mistake. I guess i look pretty. Ridiculous. [ chuckles ] no one looks ridiculous, bob. Progressive is always here for you with roundtheclock service. Just so you know, next time, you can submit a claim with our mobile app. Good. Thanks again for for rushing over. Are you kidding . This is what 24 7 protection looks like. Okay. You smell like fish. Sorry. I was talking to jamie. You smell like fish. Sorry. Theres no bad time to start at amazon. I like the flexibility. It also allows for picking up shifts. Safety comes first, speed comes second. Safety. Safety. Safety. Were making sure that somebody is getting their very important items. It makes me very happy. Stephen welcome back, friends and neighbors. Now that the Bidenharris Administration is on its way, some in the media have turned their focus to serious questions like, what are they wearing . Were barely past the election, and the sartorial think pieces are already getting thunked, like Kamala Harris will change power dressing forever. From pearl necklaces to hightop sneakers, see Vice President elect harris boss sense of style. And even the wall street journal asks, is Kamala Harriss fashion her secret weapon . Could be. Could also be her skill and experience. I dont know. Check the wall street journal, they normally dont write garbage. Here to dive deeper into our new obsession with the vicepresident ial fashion, please welcome one of my writers, and fashion expert, michael cruz kayne. Hi, stephen. Stephen hi, michael. Stephen, as you know, Kamala Harris brings a lot of firsts to the white house shes a woman, shes black, shes south asian, but most of all and i hope people dont mind if i objectify shes got the white houses first hot jewish husband, doug emhoff. And when i say husband, i mean hubbahubba husband. His fashion choices are setting the internet on absolute fire. People dig doug. Stephen oh, i thought you were going to be talking about her fashion. Ugh. No what am i going to talk about, her glorious suits, the way she alights from a plane wearing converse like a business casual angel . Yawn stephen, arent we a little bored of every fashion segment being about women . Its 2020. Its time to objectify the men ill take two scoops of doug, and hold the sprinkles, because i want to really taste the doug. laughter stephen thats cool, i guess. So, whats your take on his fashion . I mean, how much time do we have . Stephen not much. First of all, take a look at this tasteful muted blue suit, and this elegant muted blue suit. And, folks, make sure your dogs on a leash before i show you this one. Heres him rocking an absolutely scrumptious muted blue suit. Stephen well, you know what . When we finally get back in the theater, maybe i should try a muted blue suit. Oh, stephen, steve, stevie, my man, you could never pull this off. You dont have the physique. As a jew myself, i know that body, and its built by a strict regimen of pastrami and very slowly swimming laps at a community pool. laughter stephen well, does doug emhoff have any other looks . Oh, yeah, he does. And, parents, take your kids out of the room for this one. I call this look oopsies, looks like zaddy forgot his tie. All buttoned up, hes the Vice President s husband, but one button undone, and hes mr. Emhoff, if youre nasty. Also, note the daring touch of a muted blue suit. laughter stephen look, he seems like a nice fella, really supportive of his wife, but is there really this much enthusiasm for doug emhoffs fashion . Stephen, this is an historical first. The fashion world has been waiting for for centuries. The dougbugs and the emhoffheads are going nuts. Sure, weve had other vicepresident ial spouses. What fool could forget the dazzling joan mondale or the incandescent Letitia Stevenson . But now, for the first time, we have a man who is the person you wont hear about who is married to the person who is largely powerless in the white house. And, stephen, theres a word for that in my native language. Stephen what is that . English. laughter stephen no, what is the word . Its progress, stephen. Its progress. Stephen. laughter you were saying . Stephen that was on me. That was on me. Michael cruz kayne everyone. Well be right back with formula one champion Lewis Hamilton.

My guest tonight is a formula one driver who just became a seventime World Champion, tying the record held by Michael Schumacher. He find himself alongside Michael Schumacher as top in the record books, the World Championship record, Lewis Hamilton wins the turkish grand prix. For all the kids out there who dream the impossible, you can do it, too, man. Thank you so much, everyone, for your support. Stephen please welcome to a late show, Lewis Hamilton lewis, thanks for being here. Thank you so much for having me. Im so excited to be here. Stephen i dont know a lot about formula one, but i am all swept up in your emotions there at the end of this race. Tell me whats going through your head at that moment that we saw on tape just now . Well, stephen, ive been racing for 27 years. I started when i was eight years old. The dream was to get to formula one, and i grew up watching Michael Schumacher win all of those races and those titles and im finally there. The last three laps, i knew that i was coming into the weak end, and if i had won the race, i would be World Champion. But there are so many things that can go wrong so, you know, you just have to try and stay focused, not drop bull, and i think as i was getting closer and closer those last three laps, realizing that it may just be a reality that its really going to happen. I think just all the emotions from, you know, all those years of my dad working at one time three, four jobs just to keep me racing and truly believing in me. I think all those came through. Thats the first time ive cried in the car, so it was really emotional. Stephen lets talk about keeping that car on the ground in this race. The racetrack in istanbul was so slick, the drivers were slipping during practice when the weather was fine. But then there was rain over the weekend. What were those conditions like for you. I mean, for the people who understand this sport, people are marveling at a level that i want to be able to appreciate. Explain to me what those conditions were like. Yes, so they we hadnt been to this track for maybe 10 years yeah, nine years. So they resurfaced the circuit, so it was new tarmac that you would have on a highway. But theres basically, i dont know why it was so dirty. And usually, like, over the weekend it gets more and more rubber from the tires and it gets better and better, but it wasnt happening. Stephen maybe they were resurfacing it with teflon. Maybe it was a cheap job. I dont know. And then it rained. And when it rains, its usually the hardest conditions to race in, in general. But at this track tifs like ice. I dont think any of us driverss have experienced that, especially in my formula one yar. The attention to detail, the focus you needed to have was so intense. I slept most of today just trying to recover because not only do you lose, you know, a lot of energy on the mental side, you can lose up to 10 pounds in the race. This one was cold, so i only lost, like, five pounds. Stephen just in sweat . Or other fluids . laughs sweat. Stephen because i think i would lose some weight damn quick if i t took a cornarty 150 miles an hour. Definitely, put another way. Stephen you said youve been doing this for 27 years. Youve dreamed of doing formula one when you were just a kid. We have a clip here i want to show the audience. This is do you know how old are you in this clip . You were being interviewed because you were cart racing at the time. I think i was 10 or 11. We went to belgium, and the speed they were doing. It was amazing, because you dont actually think about it when youre watching the tv. And my cart feels really powerful when im in it. But imagine being in a formula one car. It must be very powerful. Stephen what do you what do you think of when you see that footage . I i imagine its the same for anyone watching back when they were a kid. Its embarrassing. Stephen no, not at all you seem pretty selfpossessed as a 10yearold. What would you like to tell that 10yearold kid now, that seventime World Champion . I think it would be just to never doubt yourself and continue to believe in yourself always. And, you know, ultimately, im human, and like all of us, we have our ups and downs. Ad, you know, youre constantly battling the mind in trying to in trying to achieve the impossible. And there are days where it feels like it might not work. It feels you know, those stages through my career that i didnt think there were days i didnt think i was good enough. I wasnt going to make it. And i would go out for a long run, get back in the car, get back on the horse and keep pushing and never give up. And, you know, that was something my dad instilled in me, i think, as a kid. Stephen and it has been challenging at times. Youre the first black driver in the 70year history of formula one. And people were not always welcoming to you. Yup. Stephen and youve raised awareness of black lives matter. Youve advocated for inclusivity. You set up something called the Hamilton Commission. What is that . Yeah, so, you know, i dont know if youve seen the movie can the cool rains always stephen which one . Cool runnings. Stephen yes, i was. When they arrive at the top of the hill, all the bobsledders stay completely silent and they wonder what theyre supposed to be doing there. And it was the same for me and my dad when we arrived for the first time at the gocart track. The gocart was fifth hand. And we arrived scruffy, and people were like, what, are these guys doing here . We were the only black people there. Of course we were not always welcome but my dad as you said, do your talking on the track. Thats what we did. We kept our heads down and did what we loved. And i mean and then, you know, ive got formula one, there was an idea of what a formula one driver would look like and how they should behave and what they should be like. And i never really felt comfortable conforming to how people would expect. But when i got to formula one, i thought just us being there would help shift and break down barriers and help make the sport more diverse. But i realized after 14 years, looking at the layout of our sport, it is still not diverse. It is still a male, whitedominated sport. And i would ask my teem team, why am i one of the only people, out of 2,000 people in my team, why am i one of only a handful of minorities . And i put together the Hamilton Commission to try to understand what barriers are and what the root of the cause is, and through those findings find a way to help encourage young black kids getting into stem roles, into engineering in this industry. And i hope that you know, weve got people in the commission that are in politics on the ground, that can really change the legislation, rules, and push on the ground in communities to help encourage these kids. Stephen i want to we have to go in a moment, but i want to ask you one last question. Im curious, whenever i meet someone who is at the top of their game, in whatever the sport sive asked this question is there a movie about your sport that get it right . Like ford versus ferrari, talladega nights . Im a big fan of talladega nights, personally. When hes on fire. I love that. I dont know, i think the racing movies are always really difficult. I think theyre very, very tricky for people to understand, i guess. I guess its a hard sport for people to relate to. But the ford versus ferrari i think they did such a great job. There are two great incredible actors. I love that. It almost encouraged me to go and drive some of those cars. Stephen you have seven world titles now. Your contract with mercedes is up this year. Whats next . Ive got to get a new contract. No, i bet stephen would you like to be sponsored by a cbs talk show . Uh. Im interested. Ive got space. Stephen okay, good. laughter my face on your hood. Id be happy with that. laughter . They sell these visors so, im open. Stephen so nice to meet you. Thanks for being here, lewis. Stephen, thank you so much for having me. Stephen you can see his next race on november 29 on espn. Lewis hamilton, everybody. Well be right back with a performance by Andrea Bocelli. This years been. A lot.

Theres a sneaking suspicion, me and a lot of americans, that joe biden was installed somehow, some way. And i cant prove this allegation, but its a gut feeling. But thats why you do these kind of investigations. Do you kind of have that feeling, too . I also have that feeling, too. Youre telling me that there was a president ial election, and one of the candidates won . Somethings not adding up. As for what. Thats what i intend to find out. Stick around for more huge dumbass detective. For a warm cinnamon roll all day and at mcdonalds.
