We go now live to bill dundee, spokesman for rio tinto, at the site. How is the search going, bill . We feel confident well locate this aspirinsized capsule lost in 850 miles of arid desert wasteland quickly. What does the recovery effort look like so far . We are doing Everything Possible to find what weve codenamed baby chernobyl, including boots on the ground, as well as these milk cartons have you seen me . If so, alert your local crematorium immediately. What about the radioactive threat to all living things . Im here to assure the threat is minimal. Isnt that a giant mutant ant behind you right now . Oh back, back its just my assistant, kevin. Go to lunch, kevin announcer its the late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight, the eagles have landed plus, stephen welcomes Rachel Brosnahan and Murray Bartlett. Featuring louis cato and the late show band. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert [cheers and applause] stephen beautiful, beautiful. Hey hello, hello, hello, hello. Audience [chanting] Stephen StephenStephen Stephen stephen folks. Welcome one and all to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. I hope everybody. [cheering] i hope everybody is having a good monday. If youre from philadelphia, i assume you. [laughs] i assumed you spent it sobering up on top of a bus shelter. Because yesterday was the mens Football Conference championship and the eagles are going to the super bowl, ladies and gentlemen. Thats right. Which is fantastic or terrible, depending on how you feel about the eagles. I spent all day yesterday parked in front of a tv yelling fly, eagles, fly because. Because i was watching the end of the lord of the rings where the eagles carry frodo and sam to safety. Coach gandalf deserves wizard of the year on that one. But on super bowl sunday, it turns out the eagles will face afc champs the kansas city chefs. Im sorry. Whats that . Its not chefs . Its the chiefs . I doubt anyone in 2023 would still be calling their team the chiefs. Come on. Well, then change it to chefs. They can make it the vegetable chop. [singing] crudites. Crudites. Its going to catch on. Its going to catch on, baby. Its already a history making game because kansas city chefs tight end travis kelce and Philadelphia EaglesCenter Jason Kelce will become the first brothers to face off against each other in a super bowl. But not the first time family members have played each other. Who can forget the dramatic playoffs matchup between joe and Hannah Montana . Shes tough. Shes tough. Yeah. Snapped her femur. Snapped. That footage. Philly fans celebrated the big win with their typical restraint. Climbing stop lights, climbing stoplights shirtrtless. Tight rorope walkingng on stopls and collapsing stuff with the power of drunk. Everybodys fine. That celebration was before they even played the super bowl. If they win the big game, somebody is going to fistfight a bus. Oh, speaking of dangerous dummies, theres more news about new york representative George Santos, seen here trying to decide what his next name should be. Now, talking about him on the late show here has been a lot of fun but not everyone is into it. One journalist at huffpo thinks its time to stop talking about George Santos. Wrong. Mmhmm. Mmhmm, no. Uhuh, uhuh. I am as sorry as i can be. We are going keep talking about him. Because the hits just keep on coming. It looks like as far back as 2020, santos may have been lying about campaign donations, specifically a new report found several George SantosCampaign Contributors dont appear to exist, which can only mean one thing. The Santos Campaign was funded by a ghost. [coughing] or election fraud. According to the report, in many cases, names of the donors were straight up made up. For instance, his campaign reported contributions from victori and jonathan regor but no one named victoria or jonathan regor could be located anywhere in the united states. And their listed address, 45 new mexico street, jackson township, new jersey, does not exist. So bad news he might have committed fraud. Good news one less place that exists in new jersey. Another beautiful state. Im sorry, phil. Beautiful state. Another reported donor that raised suspicion was named rafael da silva which happens to be the name of a brazilian soccer player. Apparently thats a name that santos stoooole la, la, la, la. Stole stole in some instances, the address was real but the person wasnt. For example, Campaign Finance reports listed a Stephen Berger at an address on brandt road in brawley, california. But when asked, the people who live at that address said they have no idea who Stephen Berger might be. Sounds suspicious, although the Santos Campaign was happy to provide this picture. Now. In response. [applause] its quality. Its quality. Its a quality joke. In response, the Santos Campaign has updated their donor list and has assured us thereal santos contributors are david authentico, pierre mcflurry, alberto realname, and heresa notherguy. Thats not all [applause] sure. Alberto realname, old friend of mine, alberto realname. Thats not all the George Santos news i refuse to stop talking about. The congressman was also spotted last week at a karaoke night in d. C. Where patrons tried to get him to sing karaoke but even though he ultimately declined, santos did say that his goto karaoke song is i will survive. That is of course the disco classic recorded in 1978 by George Santos. But. First i was afraid i was petrified but if you do want to hear George Santos sing his lying heart out, youre in luck because journalists have tracked down what appears to be santos old account on the singing app smule, which allows you to sing karaoke on your mobile device. Its all the fun and excitement of a karaoke bar except not that. The reporters found lots of santos singing to himself, including his renditions of hallelujah, the Pitch Perfect hit cups. And let it go from frozen. According to santos, those recordings earned him a tony, a grammy, a purple heart, and the nobel prize for volleyball. Yall want to hear some . [applause] oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Stephen no, you dont. Because here is santos singing hallelujah. She tied you to a kitchen chair she broke your throne and she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the hallelujah stephen now, in fairness to George Santos, he does sound like hes been tied to a kitchen chair. Here is santos, here is santos singing cups from Pitch Perfect. When im gone when im gone youre going to miss me when im gone stephen no, we wont. Gonna factcheck you on that one. That was rough. That was rough. Okay, one more song. Here is santos doing unspeakable things to let it go from frozen. Let the storm rage on bothered me anyway stephen that song, that song, of course, famously sung by the protagonist of frozen, otzi the iceman. A little different from the song as it was originally performed by idina menzel. I think santos was channeling a slightly different singer. The wickedly talented, one and only adele dazeem. Stephen never gets old. That never gets old. Adele dazeem. Pretty big weekend for the g. O. P. Because on friday, rnc chairwoman Ronna Mcdaniel was elected to a fourth consecutive term. I would say congratulations, but its a horrible job, and i do not like you. And with the g. O. P. Divided and in turmoil at this point, mcdaniel had to fight some strong opposition. Of the 167 votes cast, mcdaniel received 111 votes while her primary challenger, harmeet dillon, got 51. But i hear what youre saying. You are saying steve, why are you talking about this . You dont care about Ronna Mcdaniel or harmeet dillon. You are very observant. Thank you for watching. I am talking about this race because of one man, my pillow ceo and mary poppins troubled uncle, mike lindell. In the runup to fridays vote, lindell claimed he called every member of the rnc and bragged sometimes i talk for three to four hours to one person. I do most of the talking. Occasionally theyll ask a question like, 911, whats your emergency . So, lindell. Lindell put in the effort and in the end, he was rewarded with four votes. Four. Really . Not 4 . Four. That actually seems a bit high. Jim, can we see who voted for lindell . That checks out. Are they related to that burger guy . Looks like a burger. Something in the eyes. There is news from the land down under because a tiny radioactive capsule has been lost in australia, or as it was reported down in australia, crikey thank you. I want to thank Murray Bartlett for being here today. Hello, murray. To raise public awareness, this image of the tiny, tiny capsule has been released. No. Nothing that important should be that small. Did airpods teach us nothing . So how do you even lose a radioactive capsule . Well, it got lost while being transported and is believed to have fallen off the back of a truck. Really . Falling off the back of a truck is how you explain why that stere equipment you are selling is so cheap. Its not how you explain why the wallabies are glowing. Authorities are on high alert and an emergency hunt for the device, which, again, is about the size of a pea, is underway along a 1400kilometer route. To put that in terms my american viewers will understand, 1400 kilometers is just shy of the distance from new york to jacksonville, florida. And a pea is a small vegetable. And. [applause] and a vegetable is what goes in that bottom drawer of your fridge and rots while you eat airfried pop tarts for dinner. To lead the search, to lead this search, department of fire and Emergency Services has deployed teams with handheld Radiation Detection devices and metal detecors to locate the devices gamma rays. See, they are looking for signs of Gamma Radiation and oh, my god theyre too late. Weve got a great show for you tonight.

Stephen give it up for the band, everybody. One more time. For louis cato andthe late show band. Welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the late show, already in progress. Folks, it was a rough weekend in america. On friday, the Memphis PoliceDepartment Released disturbing video of five Memphis Police officers brutally beating 29yearold tyre nichols after a traffic stop. Nichols died three days later from his injuries. And all over the country, people are rightfully horrified. Its led to dozens of protests from memphis to new york city to portland, oregon. One of the things upsetting about this story is how familiar it feels. We keep seeing this kind of police violence. Why does nothing get done . And that question brings us to tonights word. See no evil. Folks, ohio representative jim jordan went on tv this weekend, and jordan explained why he doesnt think anything would help. I dont know that theres any law that can stop that evil that we saw. I dont know that theres anything you can do to stop the kind of evil that we saw in that video. Stephen well, just ask the folks at ohio state. If you want nothing done about evil, jim jordan is your man. But of course, Everyone Wants someone to do something about evil. Theres a reason batman doesnt look over gotham and say whoo, real mess down there. I dont like the look of that clown. Anywho, what are you gonna do . I guess ill go to the batcave and play mario kart with robin. The thing is, in that interview there on the tv, jordan is dangerously close to understanding something. On that police video, we are looking at evil. And you have to stop it at its root. What is the root of evil . In this case, in this case, it is systemic racism. Systemic because unlike so many of the examples weve seen before, the five officers charged in this case are black and part of a special squad called street crimes operation to restore peace in our neighborhoods, or scorpion. Yes. The famously benevolent creature, the scorpion. Now, not a lot of positive vibes around that word. At best, scorpion sounds like the bootleg version of cobra from the dollar store g. I. Joe. Soldier dave. The scorpion unit has now been disbanded and the officers involved have been fired, but is it enough to get rid of a few bad apples . It seems like there might be a problem with the tree. And i think, i think thats what jim jordan came so close to saying. That its not just these five officers. Theres always going to be evil of some kind and whatcha gonna do . But jordan, jordan cant go down that road to identify what kind of evil this is because then hed be in danger of being, um, whats the word . Woke. And if youre a republican politician, youre afraid of being woke. Youre afraid that once youre woke, you have to give up on having sex on your gas stove while fantasizing about the sexy green m m. You see, heres the thing. Heres the thing. He knows its a slippery slope. But jim jordan, hes not just a representative of ohios 4th. Hes a representative of something bigger. He represents a point of view thats held by a lot of people that dont want to know that systemic racism exists. And thats why theres so many attempts to outlaw black history in schools because the moment you acknowledge that something is evil, youve got two choices. Either you can work to stop it or try to avoid knowing it, like when my doctor told me to get more cardio, i didnt want to, so i stuck my fingers in my ears and ran screaming from the room. But if, if, if you start peeling back the layers of why modern policing is the way it is, you start to see who it most often polices and who it most often benefits, which is uncomfortable. And no one wants to be uncomfortable. I know that i dont. And life is pretty good for me. Somebody picks out my clothes. I get to talk to celebrities every night. And this office upstairs has enough free seltzer to drown a moose. But if you keep witnessing evil and do nothing about it, at what point do you stop being a witness and start being evil . Because no ones comfort, no ones comfort is more important than the life of a young man like tyre nichols. He was a photographer, a skateboarder, a father, a son. He didnt get to look away. Why should we . So whether its finally passing the George Floyd Justice in policing act or hopefully something better, we as a nation and our elected representatives have to try to do something. Otherwise were just burying our heads in the sand. And thats the word. Well be right back. When i i was diagngnosed wiwith hiv, i didnt k know who i i would. But here i i am. Being meme.

Stephen there you go. Hey, everybody, we are back with the star of the sign in sidney brusteins window Rachel Brosnahan. In november, and this is a lovely photograph, in november, you finished the fifth and final season of marvelous mrs. Maisel. And you posted this. Did you tweet this . Instagram . What did you do with this . Rachel instagram i think. Stephen what was it like filming the last scenes . Rachel it was really emotional. It was pretty beautiful. Our creator, director, writer, amy shermanpalladino, encouraged the whole cast to be there for the whole week. We got to spend the entire last week of shooting just saying goodbye to this thing thats changed all of our lives and be there together, which we dont always get to do. There is a lot of us. And so it was really special to get to give it the sendoff it deserved. And we cant wait to share it with everybody. Yeah, it was bittersweet. Stephen well, what about midge . What about midge herself . What will you miss most about playing the character . Rachel so i got to spend the last five seasons searching desperately for this unshakable confidence that this character has. And the opportunity to pretend to be that unflappably confident every day and call it a job has been pretty amazing. I hope i get to hold on to one shred of that. It took a lot to find, and i think ill miss getting to live in that skin every day. Stephen do you think youll ever take advice from her as youre about to go into an audition of your own . Rachel maybe, yeah. Good old [bleep] up. Absolutely. Stephen good advice for us all. Rachel yeah, keep those [bleep] up, stephen. Stephen harder as the years go on. Now, its a closeknit cast. You guys have known each other for years and i understand you actually brought in something to relieve everybodys stress in shooting this last season. Can you explain . Whats going on in this photograph right here . At first, i thought you were in a huge shopping cart. What are these fellas . Rachel maybe the best day of my entire life. This is from our second season. We shot ten episodes during our second season. The only time we ever tried that. We never did it again. We started the season in paris. We traveled to the catskills. We were on the move a lot. It was a really, really tough season. The crew was really tired. And towards the end of the season, somebody had told me about this service in new york where you can order therapy pigs to come to your workplace and make you feel better. And so i brought therapy pigs to set and it was, it was kind of incredible. They were all up for adoption. This ones name was bam bam. Everyone got to take turns holding bam bam. It was kind of amazing. All of the grips and the electrics and the guys who are usually pretty tough and stoic, you know, delightfully hugging small piglets was something that is burned into my memory.

Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest tonight is an actor you know from his Emmy Awardwinning performance as Hotel Manager armand in season 1 of the white lotus. He now stars in the new hbo series the last of us. Please welcome to the late show, Murray Bartlett. I wish i knew how i wish i knew stephen maestro. Good to see you. Murray great to see you. Stephen nice to see you again. Weve had some fun in the past for the people who had not caught it before, we met when i was hosting pickled, which was this Celebrity Charity pickleball tournament. Murray yes. I thought you were going to pull out a pickleball paddle. Stephen no. Later. Lets earn it. You were teamed with Kelly Rowland from destinys child. Do you remember the name of your team . Murray no, i dont. I think kelly came up with it. Stephen it was dink floyd. Murray did you come up with that . Stephen we came up with that, exactly. Dink floyd. You were eliminated in the first round, you lost to will ferrell and tig notaro. How did that feel . Take me back. Follow those emotions. Murray well, i we were hopeful. Kelly is in great shape. Stephen you are in great shape too, man. Murray well, thank you. I appreciate that. But we didnt know we were playing the sort of, the venus and Serena Williams sisters of the pickleball world. Stephen really . Really . Will and tig are the venus and serena . Murray yes. Stephen wills got the tale of the tape, ill grant you that. But tig had never picked up a pickleball paddle before that day. You realize that . Murray thats not true, is it . Stephen its true. She literally was playing on a fractured femur. Murray oh, my. Stephen now how do you feel . Murray really embarrassed, thank you. But i have to say i thought we put up a pretty good fight. We had some good rallies there. No . You told me that. Were you lying . Stephen no. Oh, my god. You have the indefinable je ne sais quoi. You had panache, just no points. Murray a lot of panache. Stephen looked fantastic the entire time you were losing. Murray thank you. Stephen a lot of people out there know and love you, i would say, i would describe Murray Bartlett as beloved at this point. Its a very quick beloved. America has gotten to know you and youre beloved at this point. They know you from your performance, as the Hotel Manager armand in white lotus. Original recipe, season 1. You won an emmy. It was nice to go over there and congratulate you that night. Murray yes stephen that was exciting, im sure. Murray it was. It was a very exciting night. Stephen i understand you actually checked your emmy in your luggage. Murray i did. Stephen and it survived . Murray it did, yeah. It didnt get lost. Stephen didnt set off no alarm bells when they saw a big chunk of metal. Murray no. Well, thats why i checked it. Because, i mean, first of all, i tend to be a little selfdeprecating so i felt like walking through the airport with an emmy was not a good look for me. And then if i put it in my checkin, and my sort of carryon luggage, its going to go through the metal detector. I mean, its huge. Youve got several. You know theyre big. Theyre heavy. Stephen the wings are sharp. The wings are sharp. I have first time we won for the daily show was right after 9 11 and they were unamused by us trying to take those through security. They didnt like it. Stephen they are weaponlike. Stephen where is it now . Murray its, um, in a closet. But i didnt put it immediately in a closet. I was told by a really good friend of mine who was told by an actress friend of his when he won an award that you have to leave it out in a prominent place in your home for a week so that you take it in and you dont just kind of, you know, put it away and put it out of your mind. You have to, you know, like, absorb it and really enjoy the moment, so i did that. I put it on my kitchen bench for a week. And it was actually really beautiful to kind of take it in and not just sort of be poohpoohing that stuff. Stephen and at what one point did you feel like, okay, thats enough of me . Murray i left it out maybe a day too long and than we had someone over and they walked in and they were like, there it is. I just like, i just felt like an absolute douche bag. I waited until they left and then i rushed it to the spare room and put it in the closet. Stephen you said youd love to play armand again in this subsequent season of white lotus. Murray did i say that . Did i say that . Stephen you have said you want to be in season 3 of the white lotus. Murray heres what happened. Heres what happened. I was at an airport recently and a tmz guy came up to me and said hey, how would you like to be in the third season of white lotus . And i was like cool, ill do it. Stephen so are you saying that we cant trust the reporting of tmz . Is that what youre saying . Are you shattering my last belief in the sanctity of journalism in america . Murray im afraid so. Stephen so you would or would not want to . Murray i would definitely do it. Stephen have you talked about it with mike white at all . Because for those of you who watched season 1, spoiler. It would be difficult to put you in season 3. Are the contingencies being discussed at all . Murray well, sort of unofficially. When we were shooting white lotus, the night before we started shooting, we had this big dinner and mike white, the creator, writer, director extraordinaire of white lotus made a speech and said, sort of jokingly, whoever we were about to start shooting, in the whole shoot, whoever was the nicest person and the best actor gets a Spinoff Series so i was like ooh, ooh. What about me . I like my character. I dont want to give it away but my character stephen has a rough conclusion. Murray thank you, yeah. And he said, im not going to hold him to this, but he said we could always go back in time. Stephen wow. Wow. Murray so i think, i think maybe like a armand origin story. I dont know. Im just throwing it out there. Stephen id watch it. Now you are on, youre on the last of us on hbo. Murray i am. Thank you. Stephen postapocalyptic drama. You and Nick Offerman play survivalists in this. What is it like, and would you recommend being a survivalist with Nick Offerman . Murray absolutely. I think if there was an apocalypse, i would be rushing to find Nick Offerman. Possibly pushing his wife megan out of the way. Or maybe she just tragically got lost. Or i dont know. I dont know. I wouldnt mind including her. Stephen hes handy. Ive got some of his furniture. Murray yeah, he makes things. Hes very practical. So i think he could i also feel like he could, like, kill an elk, dont you think . Stephen sure. Sure. Why not . Murray i feel like he could kill an elk and dry it and make it last for, like, two years. Stephen and what do you bring what do you bring to the relationship here . Murray good point. Ive got a great sense of humor. And im a good cook, so i could cook the elk. Stephen oh you could saute an elk . Murray i could. Yeah. Stephen in a big pan. Murray if we had a wok. Stephen now, you starred in last nights episode and its already received rave reviews. Here you go. Cnn says the last of us just made an early claim to one of the best tv episodes of 2023. And Rolling Stone the last of us presents an achingly beautiful gay love story. Nick offerman and Murray Bartlett shine as bill and frank. Now, um. I dont want to give away any spoilers. We have a clip here. What are we expecting to see . Murray so, you know, nick plays this character, bill, who is sort of this hardened survivalist and very, very practical. My character, frank, is not. And he is an optimist and an idealist and so, you know, bill, nicks character, just wants to use all the resources for practical things and to keep us safe. My character, frank, wants to make things pretty and kind of make our life more beautiful and better and kind of plan for the future. So this clip we are about to see is about the two characters arguing about that. Wouould you stotop . Do i ask k for thingsgs ev . Why amam i even sasaying thahat . Ththis isnt f for me. This is f for us. Who carares what ththey lookk likeke . I d do our homeme isnt jusust our hou. Itits everyththing aroundnd us. Give meme a [bleep]p] break. Oh, im s sorry.
