And stephen welcomes David Alan Grier, and dave takes the colbert questionnaire, featuring John Baptiste and state human, now live on tape from. Sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert [cheers and applause] stephen happy friday, happy friday happy friday to you this is lovely no better way, no better way to start a weekend them with a friday as i have always said. Yes, and there is Nothing Better on friday than a friday audience, these people right here [cheers and applause] thats all i want for christmas. All i want for christmas is these people. Welcome to the late show, i am your host Stephen Colbert, and a very merry friday to you all. We are just a few weeks away from christmas for those who celebrate. Its also a few weeks away from those who dont, thats how calendars work, its not personal. I celebrate because im catholic and this week, the vatican surprised us with a little leniency, when pope francis just said extramarital sex sins arent that serious. Thats my freaky franky i do want to point out, he has clearly never been married. And i also want to point out that this news that does not affect me in any way. I am happily married to my wife. I havent once coveted my neighbors wife. Though i would not kick his riding lawnmower out of bed for mulching crackers. Explaining his surprising tolerance, the pope said sins of the flesh were certainly sins, but not as great as sins such as pride. So if you are proud of yourself for not having an affair, god would rather you just bang anything that moves. May be mistreating that. Am i misreading that . The comments are in response to a french archbishop, who recently quit because of a relationship he had with a woman, even though he claimed it was not inappropriate. Pope francis explained it this way it was a failing against the sixth commandment. But not a total one, one of small caresses, massage given to his secretary. Wow. Your holiness, hr would like a word. You cant massage the secretaries. You cant. You can hear the rest of the story in the popes new erotic encyclical 50 shades of pray. [cheers and applause] the country is slowly getting back into travel, and there are still some hiccups in our airports. Like in this video that went viral this week from the dallasfortworth airport. Whee look at that little suitcase go it doesnt want to get on a Spirit Airlines flight either adorable this is the pixar movie we didnt know we needed. If you can get past the tragic backstory about the luggages wife. Eventually, this piece of luggage was stopped when the grounds crew pulled over to retrieve it. At which point they charged the bag a 30 fee to check itself. Speaking of travel, one thing we know about billionaires is that they love to jet off into space. Theres a new one joining the club, and ill tell you all about him in my segment, space news more billionaires edition stephen youve got to be careful the latest wealthy gent to take to the heavens is japanese retail mogul and man about to get jumped by a sheep, yusaku maezawa. Wednesday, maezawas spacecraft left for the International Space station, where he will spend 12 days in orbit with his assistant. Ooof, hope that assistant is getting overtime. Yuck, this is hazelnut and i actually asked for mocha. Do you mind popping back to earth . Thanks so much maezawa is gonna be busy amongst the stars because he will use part of the time to perform tasks from a list of 100 challenges he crowdsourced on the internet. What an inspiring use of mankinds conquest of space. Reminds me of the words of john f kennedy. We should do these things, not because they are busy, but if this gets a million views, i will pierce my nipples on instagram live. Stephen its true, people forget. So what kind of internet friendly goofs and japes are on maezawas todo list . Playing air table tennis putting together a jigsaw puzzle, and drinking urine water. Ok, so, a couple of normal, rainy day activities, and table tennis. But dont worry, maezawas trip will not interfere with the important work of astronauts. During the day. Because he also plans to prank someone who is asleep. Oh no. Hes gonna put a sleeping astronauts hand in warm water to see if it makes them pee. And then hes gonna drink it. Weve also got some news about earths number one cause of werewolves the moon. Ill tell you all about it in tonights installment of moon news now, you may ask, steve, the moon is in space. Why isnt this story in space news . First of all, everything is in space. Think before you speak. And secondly because we already made both sets of graphics. Its one of Stephen Colberts patented clockgobblers. Now where was i . Oh yes, the moon. This week we learned that a chinese rover has discovered what theyre calling a mystery hut on the far side of the moon. Though it may be a combination mystery hut taco bell. The rover captured a photo so lets take a look at the thrilling space revelation this not the highest resolution. Evidently, the camera installed on the chinese rover is a ducttaped baby monitor. Its especially bad, considering the hut of mystery was only about 80 meters away from the rover. Theres no atmosphere so why is it blurry . I took a pic with my phone a few nights ago, and i was able to see the moon just fine. Wait a minute. Is that a moon . Thats no moon. Stephen thank you, obi w wan. So what is this mystery hut on our moon . An alien power source . A secret russian weapons base . Well brace yourselves, because scientists think its probably a large boulder. Booo, science why do you have to ruin our fun . Science is always saying things like the moon hut is just a rock, and i dont care how many cardboard wings you tape to your brother, he wont fly when you push him off the garage. He will fly for a little while. [laughter] back here on terra prime, were coming up on the First Anniversary of the january 6th insurrection. Ill tell you about the most recent incarcerated insurrectionist in tonights edition of seditionist roundup roundup. Stop your stalin and put these appellation lee losers in jail. Stephen tonights democracy [applause] tonights democracyderailing dingus is florida man felipe marquez. Marquez hoped the fbi would go easy on him after the january 6th attack on the capitol when he told them he was in the bathroom pooping when the violence occurred. Now, im no legal expert. I know you can plead the fifth, but im pretty sure you cant plead the deuce.

Stephen hey, everybody, welcome back to the late show, as you know its the most wonderful time of the year, the time of the year where parents all over the nation have to say hey, siri, what the hell are lol dolls and how are they sold out if i just learned of their existence . Some people love to send holiday cards, but even the best dont get it on the first try, so we will look at the early attempts in our segment first drafts. As always, i need a little help, and as always, i have the best possible santas helper, my wife evie. My darling, you look fantastic, this is so nice to have you here. This is so nice. Evelyn now youre going to tell me i have lipstick on my mouth. Thank you. Stephen all rights, merry christmas, my darling. Evelyn merry christmas. And i eggnog here. You dont dude deary, so i got you mountain dew code red. In a little brandy for both of them. Evelyn is this really mountain dew . Stephen it really is, its red for the christmas season. Evelyn its great. Stephen its the color of santa. Evelyn okay, great. Cheers, that looks gross. Stephen i dont care how it looks. It taste like cheer. You remember how this works. Evelyn i do. Stephen you are a veteran. Evelyn old pro, we have come a long way since last christmas when we did this. In the little tiny room. Stephen this is much more fun. So you have the cards right there and to remind everybody here in first drafts, youre going to hand me a card and that card will be the Christmas Card that sold in stores, and then he will give me the next card which was the not so good, not good enough to be sold first draft. Thank you very much, and i have the first card here. Heres one that says, christmas is for spending time with the people you love, tidings of joy to one of my favorites. Thats lovely. Evelyn very sweet. Stephen the first draft said christmas his first many time with the people you love, so lets just catch up in january. Evelyn [laughs] stephen it is honest. I have not asked for it yet. Now we set up our Christmas Tree this weekend. And we toyed with the idea of not briefly. Evelyn i know. Stephen because we are emptynesters. Evelyn there was no one to do it with us. Stephen but my sister and mike came in and we got each other very ill. That is the gift of the magi i think. Evelyn you feel better . Stephen people did not even know i was sick, but thank you. You want to give them descriptions of how sick i was . Evelyn there were tears. Stephen there were actual tears and praying for death. Evelyn you are like a little boy, like will i ever feel better . Stephen at one point i said please dont leave the room, but also do not talk to me. Or touch me. You just needed to be present. Evelyn thats you in a nutshell when you are not feeling well. Stephen we will cut the story out before it gets to error. May i have the next one, please . This one says, fully as navidad, wishing you a fantastic holiday. Very nice. But the first draft said, Feliz Navidad is as far as i got on duolingo, mucho sorry. Now what would you like for christmas . Ive not finished shopping for you, and will you give me a hint . Do you have any idea what you would like . Evelyn no. Just family together, wonderful, you know, everybody around the table for dinner will be fun. I know, just writes, isnt at all you want . To be together. Again, a little boy. Stephen or a hess truck. Those are cool. They do this year, it has a jet in it. Right . It has a thing in it. Evelyn we have like ten to 15 years in a row. Stephen but we dont have this years, it has a jet in it. I will never get over wanting an s truck. Heres a card that says the greatest gifts of all are those that money cant buy, friendship, peace and love, merry christmas. Evelyn that is very sweet and true. Stephen the first card said the best gifts of all our things money cant buy, which is pretty much anything because of supply chain issues, i would drop kick rudolph for and xbox five. But all i want for christmas is you, but the first draft said all i want for christmas is use, unless your brothers divorce is finalized then i will weigh my options. Thats the premise of the entire thing. Can i have the next one . Evelyn how do you like my sparkles . Stephen i love the sparkles, its super sparkly it does not sparkle as much from the angle, but straight on its a blinder. Its very nice. You are blindingly beautiful, my love. Its very nice. How do you like my tie . Evelyn like your type. Stephen its the first time i have worn it. See they like my type. Its just a tie. Heres another one. Heres another classic. Merry christmas, i saw mom kissing santa claus. But the first draft said, merry christmas, i saw mama assuring santa claus that it happens to all guys and its nothing to be ashamed of. [laughter] i dont understand that one. I dont understand. Evelyn im not saying a word. Stephen no, you are not. No, you are not. Evelyn have a little more of this. Stephen exactly. Have a little bit of that. Evelyn very nice. Stephen and our final evelyn this is the last one. It means i have to leave. Stephen you can stay coming you just cant be on tv. Other people are coming out. Evelyn we should go to a party because i got dressed up. Stephen all go to a party. Lets hit the clubs, girl. Lets hit the foam pit. You and me and David Alan Grier. The foam pit, you know what that is . Evelyn not after covid. Stephen no, the foam is antibacterial. [laughter] you have to stay in the foam pit for two happy birthdays. Evelyn oh, god. [laughter] stephen this one is sweet. Youre very kind. This one is sweet. It says our family makes this Gingerbread House a gingerbread home, i love our great big gingerbread bunch. The first draft said, our family makes this Gingerbread House a gingerbread home, but maybe its time we discussed ginger birth control. Thank you, my love thank you for being here.

David, where do you have to tony . Where do you keep it . David its in the tony box, because i have dogs, very large dogs where everything is a play toy, but what happened was i went back and when i was giving a speech coming to see people at the award like my new friend. I was looking for my name and there is no name on it, and it was like, okay. And as soon as you go back stage, they take the award from you and thats not your award. We are going to inscribe it and send it to you. So like a month later, they send a box that had no markings, because of the tony thieves. Stephen oh, new york. They roamed the streets. Sure. David i thought it was like an unwise ebay purchase, so i just threw it in my car and he was there for a few days and then i threw it in the laundry room, my dog chewed part of the box. I kicked it out of the way, the so when i opened it it was broken. The spinner was gone and i was like you are not going back. So i shove that thing in there and fix the spinner and now its all good. Stephen a roller coaster of emotion. It really was. You want to ask me . David i know its probably difficult for you sitting next to a tony winner like myself, have you ever its a ridiculous question, but have you ever won a tony . Stephen no, i have never won i dont have room with my 11 emmy awards. Have you ever won a emmy . [applause] im sorry. They are not as important as my two grammies. But i was wondering if you have any peabodys, im just wondering. David thats great, congratulations you know, i dont know if you are aware of this, but the tony award is the most difficult award [laughter] are you going to edit that out . I was going to say, excuse me, the tony award is the most difficult award to win. And statistically there is like the emmy award is the easiest, and in the peabody but you know, good luck. Stephen thanks so much. I want to talk to you about something you have supported for a long time. A lot of people dont know about. And i just think public wearing of overalls. I do not know that you are in lifestyle. What is it about the overalls that you love . What is it that appeals to you . David its an adult onesie. Its a baby clothes f for all people. Stephen do these genes go up over . Just a sweater. Stephen thanks david i told her segment producer that i had overalls. He was like, thats okay. Just leave them there. Stephen when did this start . David when i was in college, man. That was the 70s, i was a young black hippie dude, everybody is wearing overalls and painter pants. So i got older and i just rediscovered them. Then i started wearing them. But its a whole different five now. Stephen they are the slipper of the entire body. David i mean, i look more like an extra from to kill a mockingbird at this point. Its a little different aesthetic. Till about two years ag, it was halloween, and i was with my young daughter, and she was in her outfit, she was like a japanese anime character, so we went to this shop and the young blonde hipster goes, i love your costumes, are you a farmer . And i was like no, i am not paired im not a farmer. Its not a costume, this is what i wear. So yeah, its been painful, but im going to stay my ground. And also what you mistake and to say, stephen, is the reason that picture was published, is because i am a fashion god. Stephen i know you are a fashion icon. David tell them why, its not just me here gq magazine said i am fashion god tell them. Tell them stephen gq magazine said that he is a fashion god, its true. Our factchecker checked. David they think it is funny. Im a fashion god. Stephen and want to make you assured. Tell me about joe pickett. Its a drama, we are getting some drama from sir David Alan Grier, the tony winner. Who do you play . David joe pickett is about a game warden, i am the retired game warden, and its in the middle of wyoming, and it is all about land rights and dirty dealing and shady poachers and murderers. Stephen do you murder anyone . David i cant tell you. Stephen do you murder someone . David no, its the best, because i play a guy who is a scumbag, and you know, you would probably say, duh. But it was really funny. Its a totally different role. These brothers, we had our zoom meeting, and im like, why do you want me to play this dastardly guy . And they talked me into it. We were in calgary for like six months. Stephen canada . David and they immediately shut down the country. Stephen as soon as you got there . David of course. I was calling home like daddy is not in jail, honey. I will be home in two weeks. That part sucked, but the work was amazing. And it looks really good. Stephen is it beautiful . Ive never been up that high . David it is. But when you are depressed and drinking a lot, you dont look out the window as much. [laughter] it is beautiful. Stephen when you are depressed and drinking a lot, how much are you wearing under the overalls . Or is it no shoes, no shirt, no what is going on . David because it was a pandemic, so when you do a movie, you basically where youre close just to get to the set and then you take them off for the rest of the day. David they dont really get soiled. Stephen so you write home and it was just a fashion show for my driver and that walk from the car to the trailer. So yes, i did heavy on the overalls. I think i took four pair. It was just overrepresented. Stephen i think i might want some overalls for christmas at this point. David hold on, i think sienna is going to surprise you. Stephen and who would play a good santa right now . [laughter] second tony. David i can play the bad santa. You know what, i want to tell you something, man. Jerry oconnell was in the play with me. And after the first table read, he said, david, youre going to win a tony for this. Stephen day one . David yes, and i said dude, shut up. Youre going to ruin it. You cant say that. So every day jerry would say it some point, youre going to win a tony for this. And i would be like, just shut up. So this went on throughout the entire run, so the night of tonys, i posted and i said Jerry Oconnell told me every day i was going to win this award, look at god. So he reposted it, and he posted my phone number my mistake. This went out. This went out, so my award was my first award of an over three hour broadcast, so as i sat there, i got hundreds and hundreds of texts and phone calls, so i thought, this is going to be the cruelest listen back, because they are all going to be trolls. But what happened was it was all love that people called and they said he said yo, man, this is matt from maine. I was going to call you to talk believed, but i love you, man [applause] so it turned out to be the best thing. I was at the edge of my bed in my underwear at 2 00 in the morning just crying reading these texts, because they were all love, and it was great. It was amazing. Stephen who does not to love David Alan Grier . David my student loan officer.
