When the cohen gets tough plus, stephen welcomes Jennifer Hudson and marisa abela 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] your number one. [cheers and applause] have a good show. Tuesday, tuesday, happy tuesday, baby. Happy tuesday, my friends. Hey thank you very much look at that. Here, down there. There we go. Welcome, my friends. Please, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. [cheering] the number one news story laying eggs in our National Brain continues to be the trump trial here in manhattan. The last four weeks have been full of lurid and shocking sexual revelations that we learned six years ago. Its been a real case of deja ewww. Once again today the prosecution presented their star witness, former trump fixer michael cohen, seen here regretting knockin while the van was arockin. Cohens testimony seems to prove that trump was directly involved in paying off stormy daniels. For instance, yesterday, cohen told the court that after first resisting, trump eventually ordered him to pay daniels 130,000, telling him, just do it. In response, nike has changed their slogan to yay sneakers [laughter] yay [cheers and applause] today, prosecutors had cohen bring us back to 2018, when the stormy story broke, and trump was desperately trying to keep it from damaging his presidency. That year, the feds began to look into cohens illegal work for trump, culminating in an fbi raid on his home and office. Cohen testified that he received a phone call from trump after the raid, and trump told him, quote, dont worry. Im the president of the united states. Theres nothing here. Everythings going to be okay. Stay tough. Youre going to be okay. That really smells like some mafia talk. We havent heard a president sound that much like a mob boss since billy the bathtub taft. The offer he couldnt refuse . More ham. Cohen also testified about a 2018 phone call with another key player in the hush money scheme, National Enquirer publisher and the mummified remains of colonel sanders, david pecker. The enquirer was getting heat at the time from the feds for Illegal Campaign contributions. Cohen testified that trump told him to reassure pecker that, quote, the matter was going to be taken care of, and the person of course who was going to be able to do it was then attorney general jeff sessions. Trump wanted to quash an investigation into his own wrongdoing using attorney general jeff sessions, seen here mad that you opened the cupboard and disturbed his nap. This testimony means i get to bring out my favorite guest from back in the day. Please welcome former attorney general jeff sessions. [applause] hello hey, everybody i have returned it isi, Jefferson Beauregard sessions iii, and i will not stand by idly while that yankee lawyer drags my good name through the fudge stephen former attorney general sessions, did you follow through on trumps promise and derail a legitimate fbi investigation . How dare you doubt my honor, sir i swear on a stack of gone with the wind dvds that i have an alibi. I was Standing Shoulder to shoulder with 23 of my closest friends in a tight cellophane sleeve. And frankly, my dear, i dont give a damn where the president dips his nilla wafer. Thats just the way the me crumbles stephen indeed it does. [cheering] cohens testimony was. Incredibly damning, but trump responded with the Legal Defense known as honk, shoooo, mi mi mi mi. Because yesterday, trump took in cohens testimony with his eyes shut, nearly reactionless, moving only occasionally to whisper or pass a note to his attorney. And im being told we have one of the notes. Shhhh im trying to sleep. This morning, trump was defiant heading into court, making this bold claim. Signing an nda is not a crime. Stephen its totally legal. In fact, signing an nda proves im innocent because it stands for not did anything. am i right . Im being told that im right. Not doing anything right there. We also learned a fun new detail about trumps response to the access hollywood tape. Because cohen testified that it was melanias idea to characterize trumps comments as mere locker room talk. Well, that makes sense. cause any time trump tries to get near melania, she lock er room. [applause] trump got some moral support today from speaker of the house mike johnson, seen here after accidentally thinking about the word nipple. [laughter] just the word, not even the image. Just the word nipple. Too titillating. Dont get him started on the word titillating. Johnson is a hyperconservative biblical literalist, but today, he took a day off from performative holiness to attend trumps hush money trial. Now, im no fan of johnson, but no one should be subjected to 30 years of Sex Education in one day. Thats like taking an amish kid to epcot. Goodness, english. Mexico is beside france is beside space . Now, outside the courtroom, johnson made it clear what he wont stand for this charade. Im an attorney. Im a former litigator myself. I am disgusted by what is happening here. Stephen ive heard things today that disgust me woman layeth with man outside holy wedlock . When does the stoning begin . I brought my lucky rock. Trumps child got a suckup visit from one of his vp hopefuls, entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy, seen here asking, okay, who stole my puppet . While outside the court defending trump, ramaswamy made a bit of a freudian slip. Lets pray for our country being stronger on the other side of this disgusting sham politician prosecution. [laughter] louis whoa, whoa. Stephen this disgusting sham politician. I mean prostitution this a pervert of justice i mean perversion of juices. I mean he must proclaim his flatulence i mean innocence other maga congresspeople have been showing up for trump this week. Yesterday, he was joined by alabama senator, former College Football coach, and man realizing he just texted his wife a text about his wife, tommy tubberville. Heres tubberville outside the court yesterday, where he implied that the folks on the jury might not be american citizens. I am disappointed in looking at the american supposedly american citizens in that courtroom, that the d. A. Comes in and he acts like its his super bowl. Stephen senator tuberville appears to be the only person to get ever brain damage from coaching football. Trumps trial isnt the only big attraction here in new york new york. Downtown, theres a new art installation providing a live window between new york and dublin, ireland. What a beautiful idea. Two cosmopolitan cities, linked by history, literature, and immigration, now joined by art, and people are flashing their private parts while others openly do drugs and stream pornography from their phones. Well, it makes sense. You put new york and dublin together and what do you get . Boston. [laughter] boston . Boston, boston. And we shouldve seen this coming. All new technologies are used to transmit porn eventually. Remember Alexander Graham bells first telephone call. Mr. Watson, im insanely high on morphine. Now hold the transmitter down to your rear and let me hear dat booty clap. Stephen we got a great show for you tonight my guests are Jennifer Hudson and marisa abela.

But sometimes, sometimes, folks, while being chased barefoot through a chemical bog by u. S. Marshals, i rip scraps of tarp off an abandoned hobo camp which i strap to my feet using strips of dead skunkvine, then limp down the interstate in the escapees klugeboots of news that are my segment. Meanwhile [cheers and applause] stephen klugeboots. Meanwhile, as part of a new collaboration, eggo is selling waffleinspired sneakers for 150 which come in two styles inspired by eggo fully loaded chocolate chip brownie and strawberry delight, fun fact both of these shoes contain more nutrients than an eggo waffle. Meanwhile, anyone here a big fan of jeopardy audience whoo stephen im sorry. The correct answer is what is whoo . Well, good news. Because a whole new jeopardy Spinoff Series has been created, i assume called law order ken jennings victims unit. Apparently the show will be a new jeopardy pop culture trivia spinoff.

Without red lobster, that only leaves olive garden, ruby tuesdays, cracker barrel, joes crab shack, tgi fridays, outback steakhouse, pf changs, chilis, chilis too, now thats what i call chilis and of course law order chilis victims unit. [cheers and applause] meanwhile, the vatican museums staff have started unprecedented legal action over Labor Conditions which could lead to an embarrassing lawsuit against pope francis administration. Reached for comment, the vatican said, oh, no this employment lawsuit is so embarrassing for the Catholic Church, and everyone should really be talking about this lawsuit, cause its an important issue, so lets really focus solely on this lawsuit, the worst thing the Catholic Church has ever done. [applause] meanwhile, according to the latest data, older adults are having sex, and theyre getting stis too. Apparently the old folks are forgoing condoms as there is no risk of pregnancy and as a result, cases of gonorrhea among those 55plus have grown about 600 since 2010. Chlamydia cases have quadrupled, while syphilis cases are now nearly 700 higher. Welp looks like i need to have the sex talk with americas elderly. Meet me on the sexygenarian cam. Okay, peepop. Okay. Okay, peepop. This is a condom. And this. Nope cant do it cannot do it. Id rather help you set up a wireless printer. Meanwhile, a Southwest Airlines passenger flummoxed fellow flyers after she was filmed napping in the planes overhead bin. That is insane. There was room in an overhead bin . Since when . Its always full of six illegally large carryons, some ladys giant coat, and a cinchsack of unwrapped deli sandwiches. Meanwhile, in the world of basketball, Dallas Mavericks star luka doncic was answering [applause] is he here . Was answering Media Questions about their nba playoff game victory on thursday when what sounded like sex noises interrupted the press conference. Lets listen.

He decided to record himself singing it and give it to me as a gift. Aint that sweet, yall . I would play it for you but i would get in trouble if i did that.

Have you all settled in now . Is it natural, Second Nature . Jennifer im still learning. Im finding my groove. I started out singing first announcement balance is a talk show host. I am learned from the energy of the audience that lifts you up, things like that. [cheers and applause] like right now, im watching you. Taking it all in. Its a different type, its a different type of connection like as a host and as a singer. If i hit a note, i know people are going to clap, clap, right . Clap, right . But whats strange being a host is when you start talking, people be like. Im like, shouldnt they be clapping . Stephen people get quiet. They want to know youre going to say. Jennifer they get quiet. It took me a while to learn that. Stephen i heard that you really dont like the cold. For example, i know for myself and other talk show hosts, we like our studios really cool because it keeps the audience crisp like a stick of celery. Jennifer is that why . Stephen keeps them awake. If its too warm, people get sleepy. I call it, the weather. If its cold, you almost laughed as a selfdefense mechanism. Like chattering your teeth to try to warm yourself up and how do you get around is your studio cold . Jennifer yes and i cant concentrate when im cold. Even now, im like oh, my god, it is so cold in here. When i requested is my chair to be built with a heating pad in it. They tried it but they said i couldnt have it because it was a fire hazard. So now im just stuck with a cup of tea and i wear layers and layers of clothes to keep me warm. Stephen i keep page mina back here for guests who get cold. Jennifer you got a blanket . Stephen i do. Stephen come on here, i am feeling real at home. On my legs. Thank you so much, young man. The lord is going to bless you. [applause] stephen i also keep whiskey back here. Jennifer im okay.

Jennifer i am all about energy and lifting people up. Thats what the happy place represents. The staff and gruesome amazing. I feel like they be out there rehearsing incentive writing up the next scene, they be rehearsing. When they when i come up they have a twoyear song, different song every day. Stephen we are about to see it but it changes every day. Jennifer every day. One, two, three. Jhud dont mess around because she loves her show and does she know for sure. Jhud jhud jennifer colbert, colbert give me one. Youve got the band. They be jammin. Stephen 20 years since you are eliminated from american idol. When you look back at that moment, what were you thinking. Did it seem like the end. Did you have any idea it was just the beginning of so much success . Jennifer wow. That was 20 years ago. I was 22. Im 42 now but in that moment that is what kept me going. For a splitsecond, of course youre going to get sad. Youre like, i didnt win. This is the end of the road for me here but it was really brief and a few seconds later, i am like, i still have my talent. I still have my gift and the passion to do what i love to do so long as i keep singing and keep it that goal at that dream, it has no choice but to give in because i do it for the love. [applause] and because of that, ive been blessed. Thank you. To do so many things. Stephen one of the nice things about the kind of success youve achieved that im sure you have a few pinch me moments, like meeting people who were heroes of yours or artists you admire. Does anything leap out . The first time one of the monty python guys asked tamimi, eric idle wanted to meet me and i thought it was a mistake. How can that be true . Jennifer yes, i have had several moments like that. When the guests come on, this is such and such but starting out my career was it was after dreamgirls. Im singing for an event and waiting for her to start and all of a sudden its like an army of men in suits walking by. Im like, who are these people . In the midst of them is my idol, yall. Oh, my god. She literally stops and says stop, it is you. Youre the one. I am like uh, uh, i couldnt move at all. My people were like, get up. When you do . Its whitney houston. I cant move. Thats that moment for me. Then one time, yall, i got to sing with prince. Prince, right . Whoo, child. He was performing in chicago. You cant perform in my city and i not be part of it. Hes like okay, were not going to rehearse. Oh, my god. We come up on the lift and we are singing on stage and in the middle of the song it hits me, i am singing with prince.

[applause] stephen hey, everybody, we are back with a host of the Jennifer Hudson show. Its Jennifer Hudson. As a brilliant singer, one of the greatest of your generation, can you go to a concert and just enjoy yourself . Or are you always is it like a bus mens holiday, you can enjoy yourself because youre thinking how i would do that song. Jennifer i do sit and think, if i could sing that song. I love going to concerts. Every time i go, i end up on the program in the middle of the show some type of way. One time stephen you dont know youre going to be on stage. Jennifer if to the point, if i dont know your song, im not coming to your concert. If im getting ready to come to your concert and i better know a song just in case they call me up, im ready. I want to see anita baker a couple years ago. Im not tell her im here. Her songs are like paragraphs, a lot of musical changes. You cant revamp that. You cant. I was like im not telling her im here. I went backstage, why didnt you tell me you were here. Colbert, let me tell you about this. I went to see diana ross. Yes. In chicago. Normally we sit in the sky box at the top. Thats where i thought i was sitting. I get there and they put me right, the third seat from her, okay. In the middle of everybody. When i go to peoples concerts, i like to address at least in my mind how the artist would dress. Im listening to music on the way to the events my get there so i am thinking im sitting in the sky box. Im sitting third row. I had on what i thought were plush little house shoes. They were fancy. Then a slip dress and a scarf. I could wear my shoes because im supposed to be in the sky box but im in the third row. I get there in the concert is going on. Im going to join it. All of a sudden the concert is over. I get ready to walk out the back door. My security says jennifer, diana ross wants you to come to the stage. Yall, i was so close to the exit door. But if diana ross says get to the stage, what are you going to do . Get to the stage. Diana ross said. Do you see my shoes . It looked like i walked out on the stage out of diana ross concert in a nightgown. Stephen is now with this is . Jennifer thats what that is. There you go, right there. Oh, my god. Which brings me to come i learned my lesson from then on. I only wear a boot buffer shoe. Any heel eyewear, its got to be comfortable. She need dont ever come to a concert with no flipflop on. This she was interchangeable. I could be comfortable, go to the concert, go to the basketball game and be okay and that way i wont be caught in another house you at a diana ross concert.

Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is an actor you know from industry who is now playing Amy Winehouse in back to black. I get really nervous when i get up on stage. And now youve basically told me i have no stage presence. Great, thats really going to help. Im not cold porter. I need to live my songs. Thats what im going to do. Im going to take some time off so things can happen to me ag again. Then maybe ill get back in your studio. You know what. See you whenever. Stephen please welcome marisa abela. [cheers and applause] hi, nice to meet you. Marisa hi, so nice to meet you. Stephen this is a very exciting role for an actress. I mean, Amy Winehouse, a brief, beautiful, iconic career. Is it daunting to be cast to play someone so beloved and so talented . Marisa yeah, definitely. I mean, its daunting. Its, theres so much responsibility that comes along with it. I think you either step up to the plate when you have Something Like that, big responsibility, to me as an actor the only way to deal with that is to work really hard. And try to honor her as best i can. Thats putting in a performance that is both recognizable, she really existed so it has to look like amy and sound like amy and feel like amy but it also has to be full of that magic thing that she had. Which is the more difficult thing to do. Stephen obviously would want the rule, your addition, you put effort into it. When you got the phone call but you got the role, what was the ratio of fear to excitement. Marisa you are excited for about 2 minutes then you are terrified. I was at the Edinburgh Fringe festival watching some comedy and i was on my way from edinburgh to ibiza with some friends. Its a fun time, august. I got themazing here is some champagne and then news. You sit on the flight, you buckle the seat belt and you sit there for three hours. What the hell have i just signed up for . Stephen you seeing as amy in this. You sound beautiful. Youve got such a powerful, such beautiful control of your voice like she did. How many years have you been seeing . Marisa i didnt sing before. Ive never sung really. I went to drama school. You do a few bits of singing. One singing lesson a week may be but i would never have song. Stephen youre never saying publicly before. Marisa never saying publicly. Karaoke, whatever. But i would never have offered myself up to sing. Stephen did you know you were going to have to sing this part . Marisa no, no. Stephen if you are not a singer. It would be hard for me to say, i want to play pavarotti. I dabble. It takes chutzpah. Marisa it does take chutzpah but amy had a lot of chutzpah. By embodying her, theres a fearlessness that comes into it. Also sam have the rights to all of the music are universal had given the rights to amys music so if we needed to put amys voice into it, we could have done. It could have been an overdub. I think that was good because i went into those singing lessons from a place of real curiosity and i want to do right by her emotionally. Stephen you went into the studio to record this. Marisa it was with Amy Winehouse is a band. Stephen what was it like . Did you talk to them about what if it what it was like. Marisa it was useful to talk to people who really knew her. All the different contexts. They knew her as an artist and thats what our film focuses on we are trying to bring the artistry back to amy and her legacy is incredible songwriter and singer. I think talking to them about, what was she like during a performance, after a performance. If she hated it. It was amazing and we recorded at abbey road which is so iconic. Stephen i cant believe its already been 13 years since she died. You are very young. How old were you when she passed . Marisa i was about 15 i think. Her cultural significance in the u. K. Alone, im sure everywhere but in the u. K. , cannot be underestimated. Yes, i was young but everyone felt that so hard. I think what happens when the big trauma like that happens to a country is you try and figure out why. I think weve all spent a long time asking, why did this happen to amy . Its put her in a position of the object of trauma. I think what we do with our film is really put, give her that chutzpah back, the fire. She is the protagonist of her own story again and shes not a victim. Shes a true icon and an artist. Im really proud of it. Stephen did you always want to do this . Is this what the plan was, to be an actress . Marisa well, yeah, i always loved acting. I got to performing arts scholarship to a nice school when i was very young so it was important. My mom is a theater actor. Stephen she was okay with you doing this. She didnt want you to get a mechanical engineer degree . Marisa cut in the opposite. I wanted to be a lawyer. I watched my mom do it. I grew up seeing her in the theater in these incredible shows and the reality of this job is a hard one. You stop working then you have to do Something Else for a bit so i think i knew it was difficult. I wanted to do law. I want to use el, university in london. I was like oh, this is kind of boring. I dont know that i love this. Stephen one day. Marisa i walked down the street. The drama school i ended up at. The Royal Academy of dramatic arts. I walked past it and my mom was like, go on. So i auditions. I didnt get in my first year. I thought, i will defer my place and if i dont get in another year i will go to ucl. If i do get income i will go. Stephen less boring .
