Commander in chief an official desk, american flags, and even your own autocrat. Now you too can have pretend photo ops, fake important meetings, and sound president ial. Bababababa. The fisherprice president ial playset. For ages 4 to 6 and 77 and over. Announcer its the late show with Stephen Colbert tonight. Complaint of the union plus, stephen welcomes Kristen Stewart and Tom Hollander featuring live 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 oh good to see you. Hey, everybody. Thank you so much. Please have a seat. Sit, state, said. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome one and all to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. [cheering] last night was the oscars. I want to congratulate my good friend and fellow Strike Force Five member, jimmy kimmel, who did a great job hosting. And got to congratulate oppenheimer, which took home so many awards, including best picture, best actor, best supporting actor, and theyre telling me i gotta wrap it up. My wife evie, i love you. See you soon kids, go to bed chris nolan, we did it dont look at the back of my suit. I broke it. Last nights ceremony had many fun moments, like ryan gosling singing im just ken, [cheering] Arnold Schwarznegger and danny devito reuniting, and john cena presenting best costume in the buff. Good thing he held onto that card, cause we might have seen his maestro, if you know what im saying . His poor thing, if you catch my drift . His, uh, his oppenpenis. But it turned out cena wasnt actually naked. He was wearing a skintoned junkwrap. Which is good, i suppose, but it was embarrassing when Paul Giammatti wore the same thing to the after party. Looking good. Giammatti is looking good. Maybe the weirdest moment was the final category, best picture, when al pacino. Al pacinod. Jim . This is the time for the last award of the evening. And its uh, uh, my honor to present it. Ten Wonderful Films were nominated, but only one will take the award for best picture. And i have to go to the envelope for that. And i will. Here it comes. And my eyes see oppenheimer. Yes. Stephen you gotta imagine hes a nightmare at the deli counter. Its, uh, its time for me to order my sandwich. There are ten wonderful meats before me. Only one can go home to my tummy. And i have to go to the grocery list for that. And i will. And here it comes. Out of my pocket. And that is a tissue. And here it is, the real one. And my eyes see ham. A ham with a great ass yes, yes. Congratulations, ham. Now watch as i pay entirely in dimes. Hooah [applause and cheers] this weekend was also the unofficial kickoff of the general election. cause weve only got two candidates left, and they have starkly different messages. Bidens message is vote for me because trump is terrible, trumps message is vote for me because i am terrible. Heres trump on saturday, mocking the speech impediment joe biden has had since childhood. Two nights ago, we all heard crooked joes angry, dark, hatefilled rant of a state of the union address. Wasnt it didnt it bring us together . Remember he said im going to bring the country ttttogether. Stephen wow. You really want to go there . First of all, biden didnt stutter like that. Second, if you want to make this a wordtalkin contest, youre one of the weirdest speakers in human history. Heres trump later in that same speech, saying something. They are weaponizing Law Enforcement for high level election interference against joe bidens top and only political appointment, a guy named me. Its a guy named me. Stephen can he not remember his own name at this point . Maybe thats why he puts it on all of his buildings. Nice to meet you. Im. Trump [cheering] this is my beautiful wife. Panera. Its that level of communication that has many questioning his mental fitness. But what some call brain damage, he calls brain advantage. You know, the fake news will say, oh, he goes from subject to no, thats you have to be very smart to do that. You gotta be very smart. Its called, you know what it is . Its called spot checking. You are thinking about something when youre talking about Something Else. Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. And then you get back to origi and they go holy [bleep]. Did you see what he just thats ama its called its called intelligence. Stephen yes. Its called intelligence. Look no further than einsteins famous equation e equals bop, bop, bop, bop, bop holy [bleep]. [cheers and applause] squared . Squared . But if being constantly distracted makes you smart, id like to congratulate americas next nobel laureate, my dog benny. Hes incredible. Hell be focused on food, then squirrel, then ball, then doorbell, then doorbell on tv, its bark, bark, bark, bark, bark. Its called intelligence. [cheers and applause] whos a good boy . Whos a good boy . At this point, trump isnt even trying to hide his awfulness. His critics accuse him of being a wannabe dictator, so what does he do . He sits down with hungarian dictator and elephant seal barking for a trout, viktor orban. Orban went down to maralago on friday for an official fake state visit with the notpresident. Orban is a bad guy. In the last decade, he has weakened the institutions of democracy, eroded the legal system, and eliminated effective opposition. Did you ever know that youre my hero for trying to end democracy i can fly higher than an eagle cause you are the wind beneath my whale little lower. Little lower. Little low. Its no surprise that trump invited orban to maralago for an allyoucansmooch buttkiss buffet. cause he loves him some dictator, and he always has, according to new interviews with former National Security adviser john bolton and former chief of staff john kelly, the Trump Administration statler and waldorf. According to john kelly, in private, how do i put this delicately . Trump loves hitler. In fact, trump told kelly, well, hitler did some good things. And the category is, phrases that should end your candidacy and or Birthday Party. Can i see hitler did some good things . It is number one answer lets see the rest. Yum yum human flesh and i am rfk jr. Now, kelly bravely asked trump which good things hitler did, and trump responded well, hitler rebuilt the economy. And thats the end of his story, as far as i know. Only read the first half of the book. Love the mein, never got through the kampf. Really . [applause] no, no, no. No, i dont want your pity. Kelly had to give trump a bit of a history lesson. After trump expressed admiration for hitlers military staffs loyalty, kelly pointed out to him the german generals as a group were not loyal to him, and in fact tried to assassinate him a ew times. Trump didnt know that. Really . So it turns out the nazis had a bit of a dark side . Very hard to take this seriously. Trump also loves the modernday strongmen. According to bolton, trump likes that guys like erdogan in turkey get to put people in jail and you dont have to ask anybodys permission. Thats called a dictatorship, sir. In a democracy, it can be hard to put even a guilty guy in jail. For instance, whats his name . A guy named me. There you go. There you go. Oh the massive news over the weekend. Someone took a picture of Kate Middleton. Heres why its kind of a big deal. Middleton had made no public appearances since she underwent Abdominal Surgery two months ago. That led to a lot of online speculation, including Kate Middleton is dead, and Kate Middleton is getting a divorce from prince william. Or maybe both shes getting a divorce while dead its all in todays sun, zombie kate spotted getting her groove back with Pete Davidson well, yesterday, the u. K. Celebrated mothers day. Or as they call it, bangers and mom. To celebrate, and to quiet all these rumors, kate released this picture. Its a beautiful shot of a mom and three happy kids. Is what they want you to believe. Oh, yes. Because after the photo dropped, it was pulled from several news outlets after editors noticed that the image had been manipulated. How dare they . The one thing we know about royalty is what you see is what you get. Whats next . Are you going to tell us that the king isnt real . Heres what the experts noticed. Keen eyed observers saw kates zipper and hair are misaligned, charlottes hair had an artificial pattern, and a portion of charlottes sleeve is missing. These are all photoshop errors, and not, as many had assumed, the result of centuries of inbreeding. Yeah. I know its hard for you because you love the royal family. You are such a royal watcher. Today, kate admitted that she had edited the photo, and to put this scandal to rest, the palace has released the original image of princess kate skateboarding over a tiger. Skateboarding, okay. Speaking of suspicious cover stories, a new pentagon report has found no evidence of alien visits or hidden space craft. Which can mean only one thing they found evidence of alien visitors and hidden spacecraft. How do you know how i know . The actual name of the Pentagon Group that did the alien investigation is the allDomain Anomaly Resolution Office. We humans at the all Domain Anomaly Resolution Office assure you aliens do not exist. For more information, please send us magnesium extracted from your bones. Or just send us your delicious delicious bones. The report also allegedly debunks theories that the government and private companies had reverseengineered extraterrestrial technology. Oh, really . Well, if we havent reverse engineered advanced alien tech, then how do you explain soft scrub . Its both smooth and abrasive only Quantum Technology beyond our understanding can fight toilet ring, hard water, and limescale stains and theres no way humans came up with the slogan cleans from the first wipe. We got a great show for you tonight my guests are Kristen Stewart and Tom Hollander. But when we come back, its meanwhile yall stick around. [cheers and applause] stephen give it up for louis cato and the late show band, everybody. [humming] louis. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness gracious, my lovely friends over there. Today weve got two lovely guests coming up. Wonderful british actor named Tom Hollander will be out here in a moment. He plays Truman Capote eight in feud capote vs. The swans at first ms. Kristen stewart will be out in a moment. The movie love lies bleeding. Folks, if you watch the show you know i spend most of my time in the news kitchen, mincing the days finest cuts of duroc story pork to blend with the most topical white wine and cognac, juniper berries, and pistachios which i gently bake in a bain marie to create for you the delicate pate de campagne terrine that is my monologue. But sometimes, sometimes, folks, after getting thrown off a moving rail car by the hobos i betrayed to the yard boss, i scrape together the remnants of a halfeaten taco in my pocket and the tobacco from a cigarette butt and mash it into whats left of a very ripe grapefruit husk, then douse it all with everclear and set it on fire to cook up the vagabonds trash scrapple of news that is my segment. Meanwhile stephen gotta learn circular breathing. Thats the only oxygen tank i need. Meanwhile, last week a wholeass wheel just straight up fell off a boeing airplane during takeoff. Take a look. Jim, what have we got . Taking off and. Goodbye in a statement, boeing said, dont worry. No one was hurt because the wheels fall was broken by a door that blew off one of our other planes. Meanwhile, in new jersey news, a man tried to make a viral tiktok by recording himself dunking his head, facefirst, in a barrel of pickles at a Convenience Store and deli. He then turned himself into the police. You can see a dramatic reenactment on this weeks episode of law order svu, special vlasic unit. Meanwhile, a scorpion stung a man in his testicles while he slept at a las vegas hotel. In the hotels defense, he did ask for a 6 00 a. M. Wakeup. Now, you know, you wanna believe this kind of thing is rare, but a hotel spokesperson said the resort has protocols for all incidents and we can confirm they were followed in this incident. So it happens enough that they have protocols for it. Hey, welcome to caesars palace. Heres your room key. If you need anything, please dial 1 for the concierge, 2 for room service, and 3 for snakebitmytaint. [applause] no, no, thats okay. Meanwhile, in gluten news, archeologists have discovered the worlds oldest bread in turkey. Not to be confused with the worlds oldest bread and turkey, which is at the Port Authority arbys. Researchers say the bread dates to 6600 bc. Which they were able to determine with such accuracy because it came with a little clip that said best by 6599 bc. Meanwhile, researchers say education might slow the pace of aging and increases longevity. But its a bit of a devils bargain. While you can add years to your life, they will be nerd years. [laughter] like this. [cheering] meanwhile, a 4,000yearold lipstick uncovered in iran may be the oldest ever found. It explains maybellines new slogan maybe shes born with it. Maybe she died 4,000 years ago in iran. Apparently, the ancient tube is uncannily similar to modern ones. Which means it was discovered with a broken cap and covered in bagel crumbs at the bottom of your purse. Meanwhile, movie star Harrison Ford says John Williams score for Indiana Jones follows him wherever he goes, saying, when i had my last colonoscopy, they were playing it on the operating room speakers. Even worse, this was the doctors reaction when he saw his colonoscopy results. [screaming] stephen meanwhile, after a recent incredible 35 points in one game, indiana states star Center Robbie Avila has been dubbed by the internet cream abduljabbar. Thats quite the nickname. Other options they considered were milk chamberlain, and shaquille oatmeal.

Stephen please welcome back to the late show, Kristen Stewart. [cheers and applause] [cheering] nice to see you again. Kristen same. Stephen you look absolutely lovely. Thank you for being here. Kristen likewise. Stephen take them. Take them. You can take them because you are really fun to talk to. I really like talking to you and i know that you dont do talk shows that often so id like we want to talk about the film but i want to push this aside for second and go, whats going on . Whats on your mind . Kristen free association. Stephen whatever you want to talk about. Kristen audience, people, me, here. I feel like im all over the place because im so excited that this movie is coming out. Im stoked to talk to you about it and also prepping a movie that im going to direct. It seems like i was prompted. Directing a movie. Stephen i am also stoked to talk about your new movie, love lies bleeding, the new film. Its sort of a genre defying. Its a crime story. Its a love story. Its a family drama. How did the director, rose glass . Kristen yeah. Stephen rose glass. How did schieffer sell you on the idea or how did she approach you . Kristen she kind of approached me in her previous work. I watched saint mod and fell head over heels in love for her. I was like, i have been thinking so much about you. She was like i just wrote a movie for you and i was like shut up. Stephen really, thats what happened . Kristen straight up. So lucky. She pitched it really funny. She was like, my first music was really successful and ive been asked what i want to do next. Its really annoying. Every body wants me to make a Strong Female character movie and so i just made a movie about a body builder. I was like, great. She was like, okay, so you want me to be strong . Im just going to be a brat about it so he made a movie about really very weak, flaccid kind of like smoking internalized person that it is then awoken by the epitome of exuberance and strength. Stephen a literal strong woman. Kristen literally. But that literal strong woman is kind of out of her mind and their projections take over and it becomes like a fever dream. Does love destroy or does it build us up to be the best we can be . Stephen there is a lot of buzz about this Rolling Stone cover of yours. Before i show this cover, i just want you to know and the audience to know that i think its a perfectly lovely cover. We were asked by cbs not to show it. They thought it would be not a good idea for us to show it and i dont understand why because there is the cover right there. [cheering] i want to say that you will better in a jock strap than i ever did. Why do you think this upset a lot of people to see you in this. There are people, there are people like losing their mind on x going Rolling Stone turns Kristen Stewart into a man to push gender ideology on its readers. Kristen so scary. Stephen why do you think people got upset about this . Kristen well. Okay, lets keep this light. You know, i think its a little. Its a little ironic because i feel like ive seen like a lot of male pubic hair on the cover of things. Ive seen like a lot of hands in pants and unbuttoned i think theres a certain overt acknowledgment of like of female sexuality that is, you know, has its own volition in a way that is annoying for people who are sexist and homophobic. [cheers and applause] stephen i would also say that ive seen. Ive certainly seen more revealing covers on Rolling Stone or Sports Illustrated for that matter. Kristen is not remotely explicit. Stephen violates public expectations of female sexuality as opposed to how youre presenting it here. Kristen yes. Because female sexuality isnt supposed actually want anything than to be had and that feels like its protruding in a way that might be annoying. But [bleep] you. [applause] stephen the article revisits. Kristen but i never will sorry. Stephen i think thats why theyre mad at you. Kristen im so glad i landed that. Stephen article reveals a surreal time in 2012 when donald trump attacked you on twitter. You had this to say in the article in response to that. Would you mind reading this for america . Kristen i love you. Stephen great. Kristen i said of course he had to weigh in on my tarring and feathering, its like what is this 20yearold who has no idea about life doing to this man . He is such a little baby and [bleep] you, bitch. Stephen thats nice. Have to take a quick break. Well be right back with more Kristen Stewart, everybody. Stick around. It just seemed like the thing to do. But. He was getting picky we heard about the farmers dog. And it was a complete transformation. His coat was so soft, he had amazing energy. He was a completely different dog. Its a nobrainer that remi should have the most nutritious and Delicious Food possible. Im investing in my dogs health and happiness.

No, im a wheelman. Its a family name on my mothers side. What . Irish. Stephen hey, everybody. Were back with the star of the new film love lies bleeding, Kristen Stewart. You and your fiance, here we go. Here is you and your fiance, dylan meyer. [applause] you have a Production Company together. Do you recommend working with your partner . Kristen i definitely recommend for anyone who is so obsessed with their jobs and it is personal for them to find someone that you dont have to shield them from that, you know what i mean . Stephen were you nervous . A working relationship is not the same thing necessarily as a romantic or loving relationship. Kristen its true. But my job is so personal. I feel like i dont really have a job. If i couldnt share with her and make with her and collaborate with her i would do it with other people and we wouldnt be as close. I need to have that. And she is so much better and smarter and cooler and hotter than me. I literally and like whoa, i like to still your brain and put them together and make stuff. Stephen what do you want to make . Kristen a bunch of movies. Its so funny, we get all the submissions and is just purely im going to lean right in. Every main character hates guys, hates them so much. Everything is like a very overtly feminist and i think what we wanted to do is not bad. What we would like to do is stop underlining the obvious and start sort of looking at adjacent perspectives and not hang a lantern stop marginalizing ourselves. Lets tell the same stories but from skewed spot. Wellworn territory that actually hasnt been trodden on. You know what i mean . Stephen sure. Women have just as many stories as men is what youre saying. Kristen yeah. And we like boys too, a lot. Stephen i know you have directed shorter work but lets get back to this thing you were saying before that you might be directing something soon. Can you tell us what that might be . Do know what it is . Kristen i know what it is. Ive known for a long time. Ive been talking about it for a long time. I have open booked my life, ask me anything, ill tell you so ive been talking about this movie for six or seven years potentially that long which is wild. I dont know if it will be good. But good ones take a long time. This one really asked kind of fought tooth and nail to have its own life. We are going to go she waited in latvia. I just have grown up loving her so much and we are casting and scouting and it has its own body and its own will and blood in the movie has kind of taken over my life. Stephen talking of incredibly talented women that youve worked with, here you are with jodie foster. Back in 2002, you and jody were in the panic room together and like you, she was a child actress and had great success, also directs and is openly gay. Do you guys keep in touch . Kristen last night i was watching the oscars and when she pops up, the first 10 minutes of the oscars, i was like emotionally exhausted 10 minutes into the show because stephen kimmels monologue . Kristen i love him. I love him. Stephen i do too. Kristen crying. Jodie so sweet. Her face, i dont know what it is. There are certain people that you kind of like hold forever, dude. Its not like we talk all the time. Stephen what do you remember from doing panic room with her . How old were you . Kristen ten. She actually threw me a Birthday Party when i turned 11 with a marriott you band. Yeah, she was like, dont forget. I was so obsessed with being on set and working. And not going to school and not doing all the right things. I was like i will make movies until i die and she was like, you should do anything but that. Because you are a real human being and felt productive and protective and nice. I understand. I see a kid onset, how about college . You want to direct movies . You should explore all the options. What an incredible conversation. Stephen im enjoying it. Kristin, thank you so much for being here. Lovely to see you. Love lies bleeding is in theaters now. Kristen stewart, everybody.

It wants to forgive. Does it . I think this may be Wishful Thinking on your part. No, ive seen it. On death row, with those boys, in kansas. Ive seen people want both to forgive and to be forgiven. Stephen please welcome to the the late show, Tom Hollander. [cheers and applause] its lovely to have you on. As you know, because ive used you with some of your old lines backstage, im a big fan of your work with Armando Iannucci and i love you as Truman Capote in feud capote vs. The swans. I understand, is this really, this is a rule 20 years in the making for you . Tom well, its been a role i addition for audition for 20 years ago and didnt get and then my number came up again.

Im going to clean them while you talk. Tom i did just clean them. See if theres any microphone in your earpiece. I didnt spend the 20 years thinking i must get that part back. But a different script came up that maybe i was more appropriate for us what happened. Stephen growing up in the u. K. , what did you noah about Truman Capote . Because he was kind of a staple of talk shows and that sort of thing here. Tom not so much that. As a writer, i knew him as a writer. It was only auditioning for that first one, they sent a whole lot of talk shows stuff which i watched. And then i realized the whole ddick cavettthis event. Stephen he was on the dick cavett show. He was on carson too. Tom he couldnt stop himself going on talk shows. Stephen he wasnt writing that much. Tom he wasnt writing. He was drinking a lot. He got an instant hit of being famous and feeling the celebrity that he was. I think he got kind of attached to being a celebrity maybe. Which, he got attached to things that were not very good for him, repeatedly. Stephen you have an amazing cast of actresses in this. Diane lane, chloe 7a, naomi watts, molly ringwald, demi moore, calista flockhart, was in Holding Court . This of a greta lee talented actresses. Tom the person who on a competition to go to a premier photo. Stephen perhaps in auc auction. I understand you have a 1yearold now, congratulations. Tom no, hes six months. Stephen own not even one. Has it changed your work or your approached your career . How has it changed you . Tom its made the future, its changed the future. Stephen how so . Tom because now theyre sort of is one. Theres him. Stephen but before six months ago, it was just tom suicide was an option. Now it isnt. Now it isnt. I cant do that because i need to look after him. Stephen yes, exactly. You would never forgive yourself. Tom no. Hes a very sweet chap. And he seems very happy to be alive, which is. Stephen thats a nice thing. They are pretty excited about the start of every day. Tom yes, everything, every person. Stephen do you talk . Do you tell him things about the world . Tom icing stupid nonsense things to him every day. Stephen what do you saying . Tom [humming] stephen how does it go over. Is it a good audience . Tom boopy doopy doo. Stephen dont stop. I want to warn our affiliates we might be going long. [laughter] thats wonderful. Tom its a lot of that. Stephen thats good. The reason i ask you talk to your son because we had a daughter first and when my daughter was kept on thinking i cant wait until you can talk back. I cant wait until we can have a conversation. Hey, thats a tree. They are great. Tom nervous of what hes going to say. Yes, of course i want him to speak but i dont want him to start asking difficult questions. Stephen those dont come for a little bit. Tom how long will i have the advantage . Tom until hes 12. Tom i need to stay fit. Stephen theres that moment when your son goes to grip your hand and does that squeezing contest with you like we men do and he wins. Tom yes. Stephen that is a significant moment in your life. Tom we had a steering competition only yesterday. [laughter] and i won it. Stephen congratulations. Wow.
