She was a busy smalltown baker and devout catholic, he was a recently widowed podiatrist who marked the lent calendar with daily devotionals. It turns out the one thing they couldnt give up for lent was love. Ashes two passions, dust to last and she was a single meteorologist who prayed for her love drought to end. He was a great farmer whose uncle was the pope. One day an actual drought brought them together. Would they find love . He has raisen. You will also enjoy these lengths time classics. Wine and rosary, for head over heels, and of course a fine piece of ash. The Hallmark Channel its the late show wit Stephen Colbert tonight, smAsh Wednesday and valentines day with Stephen Stephen welcomes Mark Wahlberg and Lily Gladstone 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 welcome, welcome, and here come out there, all the ships and sees, i am your host, Stephen Colbert. [cheers and applause] i just want to start tonight by saying calm down. Theres no reason to panic, and i know that because of the screaming headlines that say no reaso to panic. Unfortunately, having no reason is my favorite way to panic. All of this because there is some alarming news from ohio are presented and men who just walked in on his son playing catch with another dad, mike turner. The republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee released an unusual Statement Today warning of a Serious National Security threat without providing any additional details. Thats unnecessarily vague. Its like labeling a pack of cigarettes Surgeon General warning, trust me, you dont want to know. We didnt get much more than that. We didnt get much more than that other than reports that the threat is related to russia. Oh, my god. Is it a bio weapon . Is it cyber warfare . Are they sending stevenson call back . For their part, the white e said they were planning a congressional briefing for tomorrow adding they couldnt added today they were busy stocking up on candles by other congressmen on the Intelligence Committee have stepped forward to call for calm. One connecticut congressman jim himes said i dont want people thinking that martians or landing or that your wednesday is going to be ruined. Martians are landing . Great, now my wednesday is ruined. So that was our midafternoon panic, right . Midafternoon panic. By Late Afternoon we got some more details from sources wit access to highly classified information. So anyone who used the bathroom at maralago. Reportedly, the threat is russia wanting Nuclear Weapons in space, but before you get too worried, the nukes would not be to drop a weapon on earth from orbit, but to possibly use against satellites. Reminds me of that famous quotes from oppenheimer. Now i am become death, destroyer of gps, find your own way to costco. I cannot say this enough, there is no reason to panic about that. The only reason to panic is if you forgot its valentines day. You still have 20 minutes to save your marriage. This is an extra special valentines day this year because valentines day and Ash Wednesday fall in the same day, which explains why the top gift at cbs this year was an adorable toy bear that says for dust thou art and unto dust thou shall return. For any of you viewers who arent catholic, these holidays are very different. Valentines day is all about sensual indulgence and making love, while Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting and reflection marking the start of lent. Some catholics maybe tempted to celebrate both but one official warns Ash Wednesday is far more significant and should be prioritized. Sounds like somebody didnt get a valentines last year. Bishop . This valentines day, nearly half of u. S. Adult population is unmarried. Half, which means statistically speaking theres a 50 chance that if youre married, your spouse is not. Ask. Always ask. With this increase in singles, reports show that self gifting is on the rise. Remember, the Catholic Church is against that too. [cheers and applause] okay. Okay. Thats a stroker. What i dont understand is whats the difference between self gifting and just buying things . This year im gifting myself an oil change and a pack of gum. I am such a terrible gift giver, i have to break up with me, but i cant do it on valentines. Its not just singles, this valentines day, polyamory is getting more attention mostly from that one couple that keeps polyamorous now . Because we are and its totally cool with both of us, right . Honey . Shes cool with it. As a happily married monogamous, i would never go in for polyamory because who has the time . Or the energy, a twoperson relationship is already work enough, im so busy that we work our date nights into the show now. Shes on tonight. Hi, sweetie. [cheers and applause] darling, do enjoy these jokes about polyamory. They are just jokes. [laughter] donald trump celebrated the day by writing a valentine to his wife melania and then having his campaign send a mass email blast with the subject line i love you, melania. Unsubscribe. [laughter and cheering] the actual text of the valentine is actually pretty weird. It reads dear melania, i love you, even after every single indictment, arrest, and witch hunt, you never left my side. Through thick and thin, no matter what the deal through thick and thin, no matter what deal the prosecutors offers offers you, you kept your trap shut. Thats what i call love. Also what our prenup calls minimum negotiated terms. Last night [applause] just last night love. I love love. Last night we got big Election Results in the special election to fill the house seat vacated by republican fabulous George Santos sr. On television for the last time. Republicans were hoping to hang onto the seat with their candidate but the clear winner was democrat, seen here seen here at seaworld begging for fish. [laughter] suazzi, or the suaz, as no one called zoom, won by commanding a point lead where he laid out his vision for america. Its time to find Common Ground and start delivering for the people of the United States of america. Lets take our country back from the dividers. So listen, you want to take the country back from the people are trying to divide it . Are you with me in that fight . Stephen and just so we are clear, there are two groups of people out here, the uniters, thats us, and the dividers, thats them and we are going to crush them beneath our iron boots, right . Death to dividers death [cheers and applause] also had some thank yous he wanted give out. I want to thank the chairman of the Queens Republican Party did i say republican . I dont want to thank the chairman of the Queens Republican Party. I want to thank the queens democratic party. Stephen with a mix up like that a lot of people are asking if suozzi is too old to be president. The district he now represents is the most diverse district in the United States and he made sure to shout out to all his supporters. I want to thank the Jewish Voters of my district who stuck with me. I want to thank the chineseamericans who helped me. I want to thank the korean americans and i want to thank the indian americans, the pakistani, the bangladeshis, the muslim communities. The african americans, latino americans, the white, irish, and italian guys. I want to thank the women stephen and i want to thank men who are under 55. I see you, short kings ive got to thank magness, this one icelandic american guy i see sometimes. Lets see, who am i leaving out, lefthanded ghosts . This is a swing district, so its not a shock that a centrist like him didnt seek Donald Trumps endorsement and the fact that she didnt made him mad as he posted last night republicans just dont learn i have an almost 99 endorsement success rate in primaries and a very good number in general elections. If she just would have embraced trump she could have joined the ranks of Success Stories like senator oz, senator braindamaged and governor different kind of brain damage. Trump truthed on. Most of the Republican Party stayed home and it always will unless it is treated with the respect that it deserves. I stayed out of the race. I want to be loved wow, that came out of nowhere. His subconscious just jumped up his throat and strangle his brain. Right in the middle of his screed. We must get out of nato because they arent paying their fair i want love, daddy, please hug me. Hug me once, share of the Defense Budget so i would incur give me fries, hungry, mommy. Weve got a great show for you tonight. My guest is Mark Wahlberg and Lily Gladstone.

As i was saying before, its valentines day and some folks, cynical people, say this is a hallmark holiday ginned up to sell candy but it has a special meaning for me because i once fell in love after being struck in the heart with an arrow shot by a man in a diaper. Thanks, i hope the medication is working. And whats valentines day without some valentines da cards and we will take a look at some of those in my segment, first drafts.

Does this taste funny. Am i leaving . Stephen no im thanking you for writing this book with me. I will say this, i think this cookbook should be an example for all couples of hope. [laughter] an example of hope for all couples. Stephen why is it an example of hope for all couples . Because i cannot even chop celery without you telling me im doing it wrong. [boos] its all good now and now weve written a cookbook together. I feel like im being a little mean. I will back up. Stephen i wrote a book.

We have all whole bunch of lovely valentines cards here and youre going to hand me, if you dont mind, the first card. The first car will have the actual valentine that was sold and the second will be the first draft that was not good enough to be sold. Clear . Yes. Stephen ive got to warn everybody, if youve got kids in the room, this one is a little spicy. It says you will always have a pizza my heart, i want to stuff your crust, baby. I told you that was a little spicy. Would you have said that to a girlfriend in college or anything or would that be spicy. Stephen the first . I wouldve been afraid to be the first draft said, youll always have a pizza in my heart, sorry about my weird looking sausage great i probably wouldve said that. Thats worse stephen darling, as you know, we are not going out to dinner after this. Are you okay with that . Totally. Stephen good, because my idea of a romantic evening as we get to bed by 9 30. We could have wine and cheese and crackers. Thats our fancy thing. Stephen ill do that. Thats what we do most of the time just wine i convince you to have wine because youre like we are not going to have some wine and then i have some wine and you say give me a taste of that and then i just go get the bottle and a straw for you. Heres one. I cherish celebrating all valentines traditions with you. Chocolate, roses, and love, love, love. Thats sweet. Stephen that is sweet. But the first draft said, i cherish celebrating all valentines traditions with you. Gathering a bunch of roman priests in the secret cave to celebrate the pagan holiday for slapping women with a goat to encourage fertility. Look it up. You have said that. Stephen i would have said this in college, thats why i didnt have a girlfriend. Heres a nice card. If we are just like romeo and juliet, a love for the ages. Very sweet. Where is this going to go . Stephen the first draft where is this one going to go . How can you make that sound right . Stephen the second one should be a little bit of a switch up. Im all ears. Whats it going to say . Stephen okay. [laughter] im so sorry stephen i love when you come on and deconstruct the nature of comedy. What could the next one say . The next one cant be the same. [cheers and applause] i think you gave me a lesson in comedy very early on. Stephen what did i do . Wasnt raiders of the lost ark . Stephen i think it was raiders of the lost ark. It wasnt comedy, it was a lesson in, like, suspending your disbelief to enjoy anything. I believe im a very practical person. Stephen i believe we watched and you said he couldnt survive that, being dragged there, he would have died. Stephen cant get dragged behind a truck, thats not going to work. [laughter] and i thought to myself she seems fun. And you are, your great fun. Turned out you made me more fun. Stephen no, no, youve made me a more responsible person. This is not in the cookbook. Stephen this is kind of what the cookbook is like, actually. Heres the first draft. Heres the first draft. Remember the last one was about romeo and juliet . Heres the first draft, we are just like romeo and juliet. Okay, actually just read the play, why do we let teenagers read this . Its a sad story, thats why. It is, it is. Oh, beatles. I like this. Stephen heres a nice card like the beatles said, all you need is love, but heres the first draft.

Your lovely wife will tell you when youre not prayed up enough. Stephen this is true. With just a look. Thats what my wife does. Stephen absolutely. You are from boston, thats not a secret.

You know, i think hopefully they will give me the call one of these days. Im still waiting patiently. Stephen since the last time we saw each other youve moved to vegas. Did you go to the super bowl . I went to the first half, i wanted to be home by the halftime show. Stephen the second half was pretty exciting. Is better than the first half. Stephen why did you leave at halftime . Where you are intimidated bys abs . [laughter] i didnt know if he was going to come out with the abs are just doing the hip thrust, had no idea what he was going to do but i actually i want to do some stuff to promote the movie and then i promised my wife i would be home. I took my son and i was a little worried because my son, the last time we went to a super bowl it was the patriots versus the falcons and people always wonder why i left at halftime, but he was eight years old and he was screaming and cursing at the top of his lungs because they were down 283 and we were embarrassed, so i didnt know what he was going to do it the game and i was able to literally, 15 minutes away from the stadium, watch a little football, i had no stress. You know, i didnt care who won. Im a little worried about kansas city stealing the patriots shine and winning too many super bowls but other than that i really enjoyed the game. Stephen so since your pats were not in there you got to enjoy a little more. Ive gotten so much trouble when the patriots lost to the giants, my wife wanted to know if they were going to play in the playoffs she would leave for the weekend to go to a healthy because i was cursing, yelling, kicking people out of the house. Of course, if they won, it was a party and celebration. But i was a little too invested in the patriots and their success. Stephen i have a mild bone to pick with you as a man pick it. Stephen it you are 53 . 52, slow down stephen when do you turn 53 . Soon. Less than six months. Stephen i am still 59 for another two months and as a fellow man in his 50s ive got a bone to pick with you stop it. Stop this. Okay thats what what are you going to let yourself go .

Shes 20, shes at clemson. Go tigers nice. Thats all they do is party there. You see . Stephen im from south carolina, im aware of what happens at clemson. My god i had an amazing time when i went to visit for a family weekend. I really wish i had some college life. Stephen when they started dating with that difficult for you . It was the worst. It was the it was the worst. Worst stephen or you okay or your wife stephen harder for you or your wife . Now that my about to be 18yearold at his girlfriend and they were cuddling up on the couch, my wife didnt like that at all. She had no problem with the boyfriends coming, my oldest daughter, and my son has a lovely, lovely girlfriend, we already consider part of the family but she goes upstairs, the door shut and my wife is go open the door, go in there.

Now you have a new film you are starring in called arthur the king. Which i love the story, i knew nothing about it, tel the people what its about. Yeah, its a true story of these adventure racers, extreme athletes, guy is on a race 500 miles across ecuador and basically sees this dog who clearly got lots of issues, open wounds, flies flying around, throws a meatball to get the ball away from him and the dog proceeds to follow him for the entire time where this dog travels 500 miles and he is now they say hes going to get disqualified from the race, cannot take the dog into the water, they are on the canoe and for another 30mile canoe ride and the dog jumped in the water and tries to follow them on the water after following him for 200 miles on foot. He sacrifices the race. This guy was obsessed with winning the World Championships and he did the most selfless thing by throwing the race to save the dog and the real race was to get the dog the proper help that it needed and the dog went home to live with him and the dog had never been inside before. He had to sleep outside the first night that he actually had the dog and he was not a dog lover. Incredible story. A true story. I saw the documentary on espn and i said we would love to make a movie. Stephen we have a clip right here. Why is there a dog here . What do you mean . How did that dog get here . This is where i fed the dog right . Back up with us, right there. How did he get all the way from here to there, right . While we were on bikes and zip lines and hiking and running and climbing, how did he do that . He must have wings we dont know about. That was my first guess. [applause] stephen heartwarming. Im just packing up a dog now. I backed up a teddy bear, i backed up a dog. It always seems to work now. Thats kind of what i do. Stephen what are you giving for lent . You know, ive given up many things for lent and i encourage people if it is something that distracts you from your relationship with god or prevents you from going a closer relationship with your higher power than i would suggest giving up but for me im just trying to do more, im trying to be better, trying to utilize the talents that i have, the platform that i have, to give back and encourage people that despite where they come from there isnt anything they cant accomplish and trying to get people to do more and be better. Stephen bless you, Mark Wahlberg. Thank you, father. Stephen arthur the king opens in theaters march 15th, st. Mark wahlberg, everybody.

Please welcome to the late show, Lily Gladstone. [cheers and applause] i love this fantastic please, please, thank you very much. I think you might be the first guess to ever come on with their own train. And a valentine, have a valentine. Stephen should i open it now . This is lovely i match myself to the card. Ive got a long tail. Stephen it says be mine, isnt that lovely . Evie, you neednt watch this part. This is so lovely, thank you very much absolutely, thanks for having me on stephen happy valentines day to you and congratulations on your oscar nomination. What an extraordinary [cheers and applause] its an amazing film, scorsese keeps finding new vocabulary to tell stories. Ten nominations for this film, best actress for you, first native American Woman to be nominated for an oscar in a lead role. [cheers and applause] first of all, how did you find out about the nomination . Did you get a call in the morning like the nobel prize . We learn like everybody else does, by watching. So i was in osage county on the Osage Reservation and face timing with my parents so if it were to go the way that it did, have a foot in both worlds i guess. So i was on facetime with my mom and dad and it was funny, my mom very naturally did the mom thing it at the camera up to the tv so i could see what they were seeing. Couldnt really see just little white lines of light with no definition. I was like i cant tell whats going on so she held the phone out and make sure they were both in there. So she was holding the phone up when the announcement came in and i couldnt hear it but i could tell by their reactions. You read it in their face. Thats extraordinary. Exactly how i wanted it. Stephen your High School Yearbook in 2004, this photo has gone viral. They called it 20 years ago, most likely to win and oscar. Are they. Is everybody aware they called it 20 years ago . Yeah. Its a 20 year reunions of the 20 year reunion is building around a watch party for the oscars, it seems. It was really sweet. It kind of reached capacity early enough. Stephen you arent going to be able to go to your 20th reunion because youll be at the oscars. I will wave at everybody on stage, i guess. Stephen lets talk about the love story between molly and ernest burkhart. Its an unusual love story but they do appear for all the betrayal and how dark the story is, there does appear to be love there. How would you describe that relationship based on what you know about the character in the research . Because its incredibly complex. Yeah, its a little twofold in that one it is true to the history, particularly her granddaughter, who i got to meet and i can just see thats where how he drew a lot of inspiration from how he sketched on the book but a meeting with 250 members present from the gray horse district where she was from and margie went up and said youve got to remember you are in love. He insisted to the day he died that she was a good one, as he would say. There is a legacy in the kids. People remember their kids as being very fun loving and close to each other. And even after ernest had got out of prison his son cowboy would go pick him up and drive around with him. Gave him the nickname old dynamite. Still had a relationship. Stephen old dynamite because he blew up the houses of the people who were standing up because of his guilt and the complicity of it. It doesnt make sense, yet it is. There was real love in this family. These kids had what we can assume was a happy home life because they grew into very funloving people who love each other a lot. So there was that element and then in our first meeting, the first time that i zoomed with leo and marty talking about some leo and marty talking about of the script changes, it very much occurred to me that this love story and serve as a greater analogy for the bigger betrayal here of colonization of indigenous people, the amount of trust on tribal parts in these relationships and these treaty relationships, that havent been honored but have been like systemically over time just betrayed our own sovereignty being eroded, i could see this love story serves as a nice little microcosm for that larger conversation. Stephen is it true and. If true, i love this. That during the, you know, covid the lockdowns of 2020 you applied for a job at the department of agriculture . I was in the process of registering for a Data Analytics course so i could get paid for it. Kind of volunteer for Citizen Science of course but i was staying the county south where the murder hornets had settled in, i have a part protective, almost maternal love for bees, particularly bumblebees so it just kind of felt like a purpose calling me. Stephen this is you with your beloved bees. Right there. Those are honeybees. Thats in osage county. Stephen what you love about bees . So much. I put honey in everything. Its my goto for every little rash or cut, its just honey. Looking for a purpose. I was bringing my dog back from a walk and she just fixated on this little buzz in the succulents in front of our house and it was a be. She tends to eat bees so she wouldnt get stung. And it was a chunky bumblebee. A tricolored, tribelted bumblebee witches and indigenous species. I moved into the back porch and two days later he was still there. He was just sitting there looking inside. So i brought him and i made a little mixture of hunting and water and kept them going for another few weeks and learned about his species. Theyve got an incredible genome. Stephen you had a pet bee . I had a pet bee beelzebub. Stephen a rich and interesting life. Thank you so much for being here, it was lovely to meet you.
