cheers and applause cheers and applause Stephen Lovely crowd; welcome to the late show, everybody. Im so happy youre here, so happy everyone is with us tonight. I am your host, stephen colbert, and wow. I am glad you could be here on this historic evening. Because, donald trump held his first solo press conference as president okay . Alright . Hes had them with world leaders; hes gone out there with the podium, like the twin podiums with the world leaders, but this was just him, by himself. Evidently, he didnt even bring his meds with him it was just him, alone. It was a robust one hour and 17 minutes long. That is beefy, okay . So beefy, you could eat it with a fork, okay . So youre going to want to use a spoon to get every drop of the crazy. It just happened actually. Were recording this in the early afternoon. It literally just finished. What im saying is this is fresh. It must be fresh because you can smell it. The smell is theres a real cheers and applause this press conference, its still steaming. You can warm your hands over this pile. Its kind of hard to characterize the press conference. Words fail me. How about cnn . It was unhinged. Stephen okay okay, jake. Nice try, okay . But thats the lying fake media, okay . What did his friends at fox news say . Alrighty, then applause stephen alright, very funny. Very funny, nice try. Very funny. Okay. What did fox news really say . Wow. Alrighty, then. cheers and applause stephen wow wow laughs with friends like that, who needs fox and friends . laughter now, right off the bean, heres the thing donald trump held this press conference because of a lot of talk theres chaos in the white house and all this talk about whether the russians are like playing footsie with him or Something Like that. So he held his press aides say this is totally his idea. Like, he came up and he said, were holding a press conference today, and i totally believe no one else thought this was a good idea for him to do. laughter and he started off by defending the rough start his administration has had by immediately attacking americas true enemy anybody but him. To be honest, i inherited a mess. Its a mess. Stephen no, you inherited a fortune. We elected a mess. cheers and applause for the record. Then the president touted his accomplishments. I dont think theres ever been a president elected in this short period of time whos done what weve done. Stephen i dont often say this, but, mr. Trump, i completely agree with you. cheers and applause this is unprecedented. And the president focused on the one thing that made him happy right away, besides his nightly bathrobe time he took a moment to reminisce about his election. Got 306 Electoral College votes. I wasnt supposed to get 222. They said theres no way to get 222. 230 is impossible. 270, which you need, that was laughable. We got 306. Because people came out and voted like theyve never seen before. So thats the way it goes. I guess it was the biggest Electoral College win since ronald reagan. Stephen actually, sir, barack obama got 365 electoral votes in 2008, you only got 306. Wait a second. cheers and applause wait. Do you think 306 is larger than 365 . Wow, betsy devos works quick cheers and applause thats called the devos effect you got devosified. That was the devosification of donald trump. laughter now, a little bit later, a reporter reminded him how numbers work. You said today that you had the biggest electoral margin since ronald reagan, with 304 or 306 electoral votes. In fact, president obama got 365 in 2008 well, im talking about republican, yeah. President obama, 332, and george h. W. Bush, 426, when he won as president. So why should Americans Trust well, no, i was told i was given that information. I dont know. I was just given we had a very, very big margin. I guess my question is, why should Americans Trust you when you accuse the information they receive of being fake when youre providing information thats well, i dont know, i was given that information. Stephen how president ial. It really reminds me of harry truman, who so famously said, look i dont know where its supposed to stop, i was given that buck. laughter and trump proved once again that he is consistently inconsistent. I watch cnn. Its so much anger and hatred, and just, the hatred. I dont watch it anymore. Stephen you literally just said you watched it like, three sentences ago and then you said you dont watch it imagine if bill clinton said, i did not have sex with that woman. The media is so dishonest. I totally banged her in the oval office. Total. Boom. Total. laughter but a cnn reporter did fight back. Just because the attack of fake news and attacking our network, i just want to ask you, sir im changing it from fake news, though. Very fake news. Stephen oh, very fake news i didnt realize we were bringing out the big stupid guns. And if that doesnt work, hes going to have to ratchet it up to very, very, totesmagotes, for realsies, falsie fake news. No fair changeys. No drops, no bombs, no takeouts. applause circle dot, cootie shot. laughter that works. And trump finally addressed the rumors about his relationship with vladimir putin. Putin probably assumes that he cant make a deal with me anymore because, politically, it would be unpopular for a politician to make a deal. I cant believe im saying im a politician, but i guess thats what i am now. Stephen there it is. Did you catch that . We all saw the moment when donald trump finally realized he is the president. laughter and trump explained why good relations with russia were so important. If russia and the United States actually got together and got along and dont forget, were a very powerful nuclear country, and so are they. Theres no upside. Were very powerful nuclear country. And so are they. Ive been briefed, and i can tell you one thing about a briefing that were allowed to say, because anybody thats ever read the most basic book can say it, Nuclear Holocaust would be like no other. Stephen yes, thats the kind of indepth briefing that only the president is privy too. Its in the highly classified briefing book Nuclear Holocaust bad. laughter its a little technical. Its a little technical. cheers and applause jon its a technical book. Stephen its a little technical, i dont want to get too jargony, but the briefing is just one long word boom. laughter then, rather than address the russian rumors, trump pivoted does anybody really think that Hillary Clinton would be tougher on russia than donald trump . Does anybody in this room really believe that . Stephen i dont know, ill ask. Does anybody really believe that . Audience yeah applause cheering cheering and trump wasnt done with his ethnic outreach. Address the thorny issue of racial tensions with Longtime White House correspondent with april ryan. When you say the inner cities, are you going to include the c. B. C. Mr. President , in your conversations with your urban agenda, your inner city agenda, as well as am i going to include who .

Stephen yeah, cant feel my fingers yeah, yeah, yeah. Stephen that kind of feeling. Wake up in the middle of the night sweating and shrieking. Yeah, those are all the right words. Stephen well, i have not seen you since last march, Something Like that . Yes, thats right, not for a while. Stephen last time you were here, you gave me a big old smooch. Yes, i did.

Stephen mmhmm. Might be, might be. Real, real trouble. Stephen what do you think about bringing people together . Have you been involved in any political activity since last time . What have you been doing . I have. Well, ive been on stage, so its been limited, you know . Stephen right. Did you go to any womens marches or anything like that . I went to marches here, because i was in rehearsals and i went to a couple and spoke at some gatherings. And i think, you know, as soon as i can, i will be doing whatever i can. But i was so incredibly moved to see how people all over the United States without a moment to breathe, when the ban happened, they were in their cars, they were at the airports. cheers and applause stephen yeah, it was very nice, wasnt it . Everywhere. Even in los angeles, that must have taken two or three hours to get there even if they were just two or three miles away. Stephen mmhmm. You know, everybody. So, you know, as horrifying as this is and it is, it really is to see people standing up in a way that i had not i had not seen before and even in the 60s, and i was there in the 60s, except i wasnt one of them, i was doing the flying nun at the time. applause stephen true, thats true. We could use your super powers right now. Yeah. She could fly but she had no super powers whatsoever. Stephen really . She could fly. Trust me, it wasnt all that much. laughter but you know what, the comedy youre doing and several others is so incredibly valuable and important to see that kind of satire, i mean it. cheers and applause it really is. Stephen thank you very much. By several others, you mean my reruns, right . Yes, all your reruns. Stephen me and my reruns, all of us together. Its not just me, its also my reruns. All the different characters you bring to life. Stephen thank you very much. Thank you very much. Yes. Stephen well, its fun. I enjoy doing the show because it makes me feel better.

Com to learn more. band playing cheers and applause stephen welcome back, everybody. Were here with lovely and talented sally field. Sally . Yes. Stephen youre back on broadway after 15 years. I am, im back on broadway. Stephen doing Tennessee Williams the glass menagerie. Yeah. Stephen okay and why do you think the film was the film i mean, the play was first performed in 1944. Why do you think the story still holds up now . Its a magnificent piece of writing by a young genius, i mean, Tennessee Williams was. And when he wrote the play, it was so new, it was so sortof avantgarde what he saw. Its rarely really been done the way he originally wrote it because at the time they went, huh, what . This doesnt make sense. It was before the great edward albee had come in and theatre of the absurd had come in and changed the way theatre contained itself, how you can tell a story. And so i think the glass menagerie, specifically, offers so many opportunities to come and revisit it in many ways, many hands. Right now its in the very capable and quite extraordinary hands of sam gold, who is the director, who has a vision of what story hes telling, which is exactly the glass menagerie, but has not been quite seen this way before. And i think in some weird ways, it pertains to what is happening in the world, in that amanda has these two children stephen your character. My character, who are unique in their way, one of them being a closeted gay who is having a hard time around his mother who refuses to see anything that isnt of the mind of the spirit. And she wouldnt allow that in a million years. And her daughter, who is perhaps, you know, is physically challenged, but more than that, she doesnt want to do the things that her mother did. She doesnt want to get married and, you know, have a man support her. She has maybe other things she wants to do. So amanda is the great killer of differences. And, i think, you know, amanda wants everything to be the way she can contain it, she understands it, let it be like me. Let both my children be the way i was, the way i can understand, and i think thats a lot of whats happening is lets go after the others. Anybody that isnt exactly fitting down this one road, which has been set up as being the right, white road. cheers and applause out stephen out . Out stephen what was the first time you were on stage . Oh, when i was 12 in 7th grade. Stephen really . 12 . Yes, 12. Stephen what part did you play . I was in scene study, and i had a scene from born yesterday. Stephen sure, sure. Did you play judy holiday . I played the blonde bombshell, it was complete typecasting. You know, heidi the little goat girl taking a stab at madea or something, you know. Hey laughter but it was my first scene, and i remember it vividly. Stephen how did it go . Oh, it was dreadful. Stephen did you anything before that . Like, School Pageant or anything like that . No, no, i was very shy. Stephen oh, wow. We would have christmas pageants where you held a candle under your face and walked down and sang holy night and all stephen did you do that . Yeah. Stephen were you the virgin mary or anybody like that . Oh, no. They got to be the stars, and i wasnt anyone of those. I was just one of a group of herd of people. Stephen first time i was on stage i heard, you were butt naked. laughter cheers and applause stephen no, no. No honey, honey, that wasnt the first time i was on stage, that was just my favorite time on stage. Oh, well, that would do it. Stephen the first time i was on stage was i was the fourth wise man in the christmas pageant. I was the fourth wise man because our power went off at our house, and my mom had spent all this time making the costume and making the box of treasure, that we got to the church late. And she goes, go up there on the alter and be the wise man. I said, there are already three guys up there; they replaced me. My mom said, get up there. laughter so, i went up there and i was the fourth wise man. That was my first time on stage. I was hooked. applause ive been dumped since the beginning.

Yes, it is. pause theres this thing that happens when were in a room together. It always has, bobby just flows like this but im shutting it off. I have shut it off. Okay. First, i apologized. But if it takes me sending you flowers every day joe dimaggio style to prove it, i will. He did that after marilyn was dead. Yours would have the same effect on me that his had on her. Stephen please welcome maggie siff cheers and applause band playing thanks for being here. cheers and applause band playing thanks for being here. Oh, its my pleasure. Stephen now, the first time we i wont kiss you. Stephen what . I wont kiss you. Stephen ah, mores the pity laughter the first time we met was at the Christmas Party at cbs just this past christmas. Thats right. Stephen and i kind of embarrassed myself a little bit because you said hi, that im in billions, and i said, oh, i actually havent watched it because i tried to watch the first one and i put in the little d. V. D. To watch it that they gave me when giamatti was on and the very first scene is him hogtied on the floor and a dominatrix comes in and puts her boot on his chest and i turned it off because i was watching it with my children. laughter right. Stephen and you said . Yeah, that was me. Stephen well, it revealed something about paul giamatti, because he told me that in that scene the very first scene where hes tied up on the floor and youre putting your boot on his chest, that he fell asleep laughter while you guys were shooting that scene. I know. Stephen were you insulted in any way . No, i was fascinated. I mean, i learn from him every day. Stephen really . Yes, and hes like stephen what kind of rough stuff is giamatti into if he can fall asleep during a scene about s m . I think it was just such a novel experience for him, he like surrendered 100 . And it was our first day shooting together ever. Stephen what, seriously . Seriously. Stephen the tie you up, boot on your chest was the very first scene . Dump the cigarette out on your chest. Yeah, so i was awake for both of us. I was like double awake. I was like okay, you just relax, and i will try not to kill you with my stiletto and my dangling cigarette because youre a National Treasure and my co worker and a wonderful human being. Stephen mmhmm. But i couldnt do it without somebody like him. You know, hes so brave. And hes so curious. Hed never done anything like that before, and hes, like, thats fascinating, lets go i was, like, alright, lets go lets do this thing stephen okay, so how do you prepare for that role . Do you do a ride along . laughter im kind of curious, because you want to get it right. You want to get it right, i assume. Yeah, you do. I talked to some people who are in that world. Stephen talking in a low voice people in the lifestyle. talking in a low voice people in the lifestyle, yes. Stephen thats what we call it, we call it the lifestyle. Yeah, yeah you should come down some time. laughter we do have a consultant on set, sometimes. Stephen you have a dominatrix consultant on set . We do. We have a dominatrix consultant. Stephen wow hold on, can we get one of those . Is that in the budget . Can we get one of those . We got one of those, okay. I think you need one. Stephen sure, sure, you never know. The little that ive seen stephen what does she do . He or she, i assume. She. She well, she had conversations with us about sort of the lifestyle and some of the psychology of the characters, which is what i was interested in. But also in the scenes which are a little bit more explicit, which, for the most part, im not a part of, when they go into clubs or there is machinery involved and things like that. Stephen wow, you also have a mechanic on set. Well, she kind of takes care of all that. Shes the mechanic, dominatrix yeah. Stephen so what does this person say, no, no, that wouldnt right. Really, does she give you advice . Like, nah, dont do it that way . Honestly, for my part, because the characters, its sort of a facet of their marriage, and theyre not professional, you know, domsub types so theyre kind of figuring it out as they go along. So i talked to her about psychology. I just talk to her about stephen its a hobby. Yeah, just the hobbyest questions. Stephen now, the series is about people who are dealing with billions of dollars, and theres racecars and theres mansions. Do you flip through the script and say what fun thing, what toys do i get to play with this week . I would be the worst billionaire on the planet. Like, i could care stephen no, no, donald trump is the worst billionaire on the planet. That is already taken. cheers and applause youre right youre right. Stephen so you dont like to play with the toys or anything like that . I wouldnt be a mendacious billionaire, or a malignant, narcissistic billionaire. Stephen uhhuh. I think i would give my billions away. I dont know how to really spend money and i dont have a very glamorous lifestyle. Im the mother of a toddler. Stephen youre a mother of a toddler . Wow. Yes. So i split my life between putting on these clothes and being this like highpowered superwoman and then i go home and im covered in marker and vomit and puke and stuff like that. laughter like, that is my life. Stephen do you have a consultant for that, too . laughter now youve played a lot of strong, female characters sons of anarchy, mad men. You say playing a woman can sometimes be a political act. What does that mean . You know, i go back and forth between sort of denigrating myself as a performer. Youre, like, im just an entertainer, what does that mean . But then i worked with a filmmaker recently who said, when you are on screen and youre representing women, its almost like a time capsule. It gets shipped out to culture and through time and who you are and how you stand up into those roles is actually really significant. And i i take that in. Ive got to play some characters that are very stephen thats a lot of pressure to put on yourself. It is a lot of pressure to put on myself. And i dont for the most part, but when i step back and think about it, i think, in a way, it can be a political act. To play a character, even on a show like sons of anarchy, which is sort of macho, but to be somebody who stands up and has, you know can string a lot of sentences together and has clear thoughts, and can be cerebral sometimes, and fierce sometimes, and powerful sometimes.
