Transcripts For KYW The Late Show With Stephen Colbert 20171130

Portrait of me hanging behind a ceremony honoring native americans . Again, my nickname was indian killer, not indian tickler, not indian honorer, indian killer. Literally, any other portrait would be less insulting to native americans the mascot for the cleveland indians, the lando lakes butter lady, the guy who dressed up like an indian who criedly in the commercial. Johnny depp as tonto, anything. But trump is the president so to show my respect for navajo code talkers. I will speak in code. Let them crack that one. Its the late show with Stephen Colbert. Plus, stephen welcomes Justin Timberlake and san Juan Carmen Yulin Cruz featuring jon batiste and stay human. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause stephen hello whats up, everybody . Thank you, please, sit down, everybody. Too kind. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert, i am one of the few money still allowed on television because today matt lauer was is let go from nbcs morning show, the today show, this morning, today. According to the chairman of nbc news, lauer was fired due to inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace. Not to be confused with appropriate sexual behavior in the workplace. Because that does not exist. laughter we should have seen that lauer had a strange obsession with women. I mean, just look at any of his actual halloween costumes. Dolly parton, baywatch babe, paris hilton, and lucy from peanuts. Good grief. After looking at those photos, i think he could have been fired for sexually harassing himself. But he wasnt, because we have some details, and they are not great. Turns out, lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy as a present. It included an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her. Its bad enough that he gave her a sex toy, but he also gave instructions . He found a way to mansplain Sexual Harassment laughter youre doing that wrong let me get in there. laughter this is why you like what im doing. laughter and it doesnt stop there. On another day, he summoned a different female employee to his office and then dropped his pants, showing her his penis. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act. Im going to say what that woman honestly could not at the moment what a dick. cheers and applause we dont have to blur that, do we . We dont have to blur that. We dont have to blur that. This morning, hoda kotb and Savannah Guthrie had to announce lauers departure on the today show, which must have been awkward for them, and even more awkward for the fans outside the window. Wooo go hawks wheres matt . Whys everybody so sad in there . Karen, will you marry me . Karen, look at my penis laughter it was the theme. It was the theme of the morning. While the news about lauer is shocking, there were some hints, like this 2012 interview between katie couric and andy cohen. You cohosted the today show with matt lauer for 15 years. What is matts most annoying habit . Hmmm. He pinches me on the ass a lot. Audience ooooh stephen well, that certainly explains their old reoccurring segment, where in the world are matt lauers hands . You laughter donald trump weighed in on the lauer story tweeting, wow. Wait a minute, wow . Im still not used to a president typing the word wow. Thats like if the first draft of the gettysburg address was holy guacamole, this war sucks. Wow. Wow. cheers and back to trumps tweet wow, matt lauer just fired from nbc for inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace. but when will the top executives at nbc and comcast be fired for putting out so much fake news. By fake news do you mean, more than a dozen women have accused trump of Improper Conduct or sexual assault. cheers and applause is that what you mean by fake news . Listen up you dont get to comment that is the pot calling the kettle at 3 00 a. M. And asking what shes wearing. Plus, remember the whole billy bush bus thing . Turns out, in private, trumps told multiple people that it may not have been him on the tape after all. And we dont think that was my voice. Quick tip if youre going to Say Something thats already crazy, dont refer to yourself as we. All the voices in our head tell us thats not our voice. Whats that . Yeah, they agree with me. cheers and applause what . Quiet. Theyre so loud. Theyre so they repeat themselves, but, lord, theyre loud. But you know what, lets take him at his word. Hes the president of the united states. Maybe it wasnt him stephen when you listen to it again, it cant be him because anybody who said that wouldnt get elected president of the united states. Hes got to be innocent theres no two ways about it. Jon wow stephen cant have both. And i guess this cant be trump, either. I said it. I was wrong, and i apologize. Stephen admitting he was wrong and apologized in the same sentence. The only way it could have been more untrump is if he said it while eating a vegetable. laughter not an onion ring. Meanwhile, theres amazing news out of a different crumbling empire. Because we just learned that prince harry got engaged im aplutter. And whos the lucky bridetobe, some third cousin from luxembourg with a prominent jaw . No, turns out its actress Meghan Markle, known for her 2011 breakthrough role as ambitious paralegal rachel zane in the hit tv series suits, but will be officially leaving after season seven, following her engagement news. See a couple of things from that. One, theres apparently a show called suits . I saw the ads, but i assumed usa network just got bought by mens wearhouse. And, two, its been on for seven years and Meghan Markle is a biracial, divorced american, which is great news for the gene pool of the royal family. They are a little inbred. Most of them have to be put down with canine hip dysplasia. No its sad. Its very sad. I agree. Its extremely sad. Theyre partly rotwieller. But, england, a word of warning we had a cool biracial leader for a while, too. And i can tell you, you need to savor it because the next princess. Is gonna suck. laughter applause suuuck. Suck. Here are the wedding details. In may, prince harry and Meghan Markle will marry at st. Georges chapel, windsor castle. Now traditionally its at westminster abbey, but it was booked for a harrypotterthemed bar mitzvah. Weve got a great show for you tonight. Justin timberlake is here.

She was kind of stephen oh, those good tornadoes. Yeah, the good tornadoes. Stephen wow, your town is totally gone, but in a great way. laughter . No she was kind of our team captain, and working working with woody allen, we were all very terrified, and and and kate sort of, like, grabbed the reins of the whole thing. As she likes stephen what do you mean grab the reins . Doesnt the director do that . Well, um, see, i guess on behalf of the actors, she was kind of like like if he was the pilot, she was the Flight Attendant, and if theres a ton of turb lance, shes just constantly like, youll be fine. Like, you know stephen oh, oh,. For me, im a nervous flier. Stephen me, too, oh, yeah.

Ill never let go, jack laughter i dont know why why shes always yeah. Stephen that is something i would not want the stewardess to yell through the door, by the way. Thats true, thats true. And and and i immediately was like, oh, my god, kate winslet can hear me peeing. And we do the movie and we bonded, and she is one of the most she is like the Michael Jordan of acting. She is one of the most gifted, but also giving and kind actors. And we just bonded so much. She has a a i think three kids, but her youngest is almost the same age as mine. And we kind of bonded over that.

Please welcome the mayor of san juan, carmen yulin cruz. cheers and applause stephen thank you very much. Thank you. Stephen thanks so much for being on. No, thank you for having me. And thank you to the band. That was really great. Jon thank you, thank you. applause . Stephen now, puerto rico was devastated after Hurricane Maria on september 20 . September 20. Stephen okay. So its been two months. We dont hear about it as much in the news on the mainland that much anymore. How is the recovery going right now . Well, its not going as fast as it should. We still have about 60 generation. You have to understand, generation is not that people have power. Because all the power in the island gets generate from the southern part. And then it just gets sent around through mountains. Stephen so what percentage doesnt have power right now . Well, about 50 of the population still doesnt have power. And the ones that do have, its very unstable. We have had two blackouts in the past three weeks, total blackout on the entire island, which is 100 miles long by 30 miles wide. You could be operating in an operating room and all of a sudden, you end up with a light and your cell as a phone. Our children are going to school only four hours a day because theres not electricity. And a lot of people, especially the elderly that live in buildings, i say theyve become human cages because they cannot have the water pumped up. In the middle of stephen is there fresh water . Well, about 90 have water but were still under a health advisory, so you either have to filter the water or you have to boil the water, but, of course, you cant boil the water because you dont have any electricity. So its its a touchandgo situation still. And this new tax reform is not going to help us, either, because it puts a 20 excise tax on all of the imports that come from puerto rico into the united states. Stephen but, wait, so theres a 20 20 increase income tax from all of the imports that will come from puerto rico into the united states. Stephen but puerto rico is the united states. Well, you know, we are a territory of the united states. Stephen but youre citizens . Yes, sir, since 1917. And i mean, maybe this is not the place to say it, but President Trump has not been up to the standards that this country deserves. cheers and applause stephen this is a shot this is a shot of you in the floodwaters. That was water with human excrement. Stephen if it. Down in is this in san juan. In san juan, a place called ocean park. Stephen and at this time and since then especially since this timeue were crying out for help saying the people in san juan in puerto rico were dying and you needed more help. And you got this response from the president , mayor of san juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the democrats that you must be newscast tow trump. And here is this was your that was my reply. Stephen this was your reply. cheers and applause but i have i have something for you, if i may. Just a little reply with a twist. You get your own nasty shirt with a little puerto rican twist in it. This is just for you. Stephen oh, thats nice. Yeah. Stephen thank you. Are these available, or, like we we started thats the first one we made. We started a foundation because, you know, theres a big difference and, again, i dont mean to be harsh, but theres a stark contrast between the American People and their huge heart and you have poured yourself out in support to us, and how you often ask youve done it on your show so many times. And those that can see you because, you know, they have electricity are really cognizant of the fact that you have been one of those voices that has never forgotten us, and for that i want to be very greatful to you and thank you for that. Stephen thank you for what youre doing. Thank you very much. We started this foundation, the foundation is called somebody help us. Somebodyhelpus. Org. You can send there if you want. I got 20 bills from people in texas. And the American People have such big heart, and the contrast with the american president that has such a big mouth. applause stephen now, how many how can people how can people out there continue to help right now . Well, first of all, you can keep us in your thoughts. Whenever you see something for puerto rico, retweet it, or put it on facebook. Secondly, you can donate to the American Federation of teachers. Theyre doing this whole thing with operation blessing, clarity filters. If you donate, you get a clarity filter, made by kholler, to a family in puerto rico so they can have clean water. You can donate to the unions, the a. F. L. C. I. O. , took 320 workers and they stayed in puerto rico for two weeks, helping san juan, 42 communities. Or you can go to somebodyhelpus. Org, and make a small contribution. Doesnt matter. You people, again, i have to thank you, because you have never left us alone, and i hopi never forget us because we have a long road ahead of us, but can you say damn it on tv . Stephen sure.
