Folks, i believe there are two sides to every story mine and the other one i have. This is tip of the hat, wag of the finger. Folks, anybody who upons me knows i love prescription drugs. I love how powerful they are. I love how interchangeable their bottles like. Its like playing endocrine are you let. And i love the First Amendment which is why im giving a wag of the fing toart f. D. A. The f. D. A. Is proposing new guidelines for drug industry postings on social media. Drug companies posting information on twitter, for example, would have to include the benefits and main risks. Stephen sorry, young, hip, twitter users. Youre going to have to go some place else to learn the dopest news about boniva. Osteoperosis is whacko. Under the new guidelines, big pharma tweet will now have to include all side effects and warnings printed on the product label. Oh, come on theres no way that pfizer could tell all their followers all the side effects for vooig i i haven just 140 characters. It has nine side effects including permanent damage to the penis, loss of sight, and loss of hearing. That is scary stuff. I for one do not know what i would do if my penis went blind and deaf. cheers and applause . It would have to get a service dog. laughter well, as always, i am here to help the drug companies. Theres a very simple way to treat your drugs complex side effects emojis. Emojis can cover every possible side effect. For depression, just tweet a frowny face. Risk of cardiac arrest, a broken heart. Emojis can also tell people to avoid the drug if theyre bipolar. Or that Clinical Trials cause blindness in monkies. And most importantly, if theres a risk of gen till purpling. Huge side effect fans here tonight. laughter next up, folks, summertime is upon us, and that means everyone is working to perfect their swimsuit body. And for those of white house have already accepted their swimsuit body, summer also means ice cream. Now a radical change at ben jerry has me so outraged that i scream, you scream, we all scream at ice cream. Ben jerry is hoping customers will appreciate what is not going into their ice cream. According to the burlington press, ben jerrys is switching to nong. M. O. Ingredients, which means some of the Favorite Recipes will be changed. Gemetically modified organisms are plant or animals with d. N. A. That have been changed. Stephen ben jerry is getting rid of all g. M. O. O which means the end of the island of dr. Morrorio. Their rash decision is a direct threat to my ice cream, because in a recent interview and jerry was asked, what, is your favorite ice cream flavor . And he said ben ben jerrys americone dream. cheers and applause excuse me. Excuse me ben jerrys americone dream. Check the label. Its Stephen Colberts americone dream. cheers and applause . They have cut out the most important ingredient of all me. Which can only mean i must be a genetically modified organism. I mean, it makes sense. I am highly resistant to aphids and and and im roundup ready. cheers and applause kids, kids, dont try that at home unless your parents bought you from monsanto. You know what . This cures this cures gen till purpling. Well be right back. vo after 50 years of designing cars for crash survival, subaru has developed our most revolutionary feature yet.

Anybody else frost brewed coors light. The worlds most refreshing beer. cheers and applause . Stephen welcome back, everybody. Thank you so much. Folks, i love new york city. People are just cheers and applause listen to that. People are so friendly here. You can go out on the street and day, stick out your arm, and someone will give you a ride for free. And then when you get out of the car, they shout goodbye to you in their strange and angry language. But sadly, nowhere is Big Government more intrusive than the big apple. You think you can force me into alternate sideofthestreet . Guess what, coppers . You can keep my car, and good luck finding a place to park it. Well, now the overreach has reached too over as the New York Post reports, state legislators have passed a bill banning people for posing for photos while hugging, patting, or otherwise touching tigers. You heard that right new york wants to make it illegal to take a tiger selfie. A clear infringement on our freedom of speech. That speech . The flash is off, right . Oh, god no also being done in the name of increasing safety at traveling circuses and county fairs oh, for petes sake who wants safety at the county fair you go there to fill up on fried nitrates and strap your children into a right operated by methaddled teens. Youd be safer if the tiger was running the tiltawhirl. I have been warning this is coming since 20s 10. Mark my words, folks. Next theyll be banning people from taking photos while patting, hugging, or otherwise touching panters. So close. So close. I dont know why applause i dont know why i ever lost that beard. Of course, the biggest victim of this plan are, as usual in obamas america, guys trying to get laid. Tiger selfies a big trend on a dating app. The tiger selfie is a growint on tinder, for example. Stephen it shows youre spontaneous and dont overthink things. Now, how will guys show their fun and adventures on dating sites without Tiger Selfies . Its either that or photos of you rock climbing or if youre really cool, doing both. laughter it is already it is already hard enough for guys to look cool and dangerous in new york after mayor bloomberg took away our cigarettes, took away our guns and took away our big gulps. Ladies, you know what they say about a guy with a big gulp hes probably also got a big risk of diabetes. And like it or not, folks, like it or not, Tiger Selfies are not some pazzing fad. In fact, tinder users estimate they find tigers in one out of every 10 profile theyve used one in 10 i had no idea there were that many tykers still left out there. Thats actually great news sprip got to imagine that just market forces, the obvious boon in the tiger population is because they now serve some marketable purpose. This is how endangered species can save themselveses by helping us get laid. Sorry, dodo, but your terrible wings made you a terrible wingman. You had to go. And tonight im call on the brommunity to photograph themselves with as many endangered species as possible to find out if that animal attracts women. laughter im talking about the noble snow leopard. The breathtaking blue whale. The majestic santa cruz longtoed salamander. I just hope were not too late to save the western black rhino. By the way, this episode of the the colbert report is dedicated to our friend, phil hildebrand. Paul worked in the graphics department, and he could have just photo shopped that, but he wanted to get it just right. And and because i told him to. laughter i want his family to know that he died with a smile on my face. laughter he will be missed. applause well be right back. Yeah, im gonna need 40,000 pairs of flippers. 70,000 bags of ice. 33,000 tubes of sunscreen. A cake with a lady inside, a cake with a dude inside, and then a cake with some cake inside for all the people that love some cake. Ooh i like him. Lets find out his tuxedo size. Yeah im back whats that . Oh yeah yeah, no its perfect. Did i already order ice . Bud light is creating a town this summer and you can go. Find out more on upforwhatever. Com. cheers and applause . Stephen my dpeft tonight plays a drug addicted nurse. I will interview her provided she can past a urine test. Please welcome edie falco cheers and applause hey good to see you. Thanks for coming on. What a pleasure to have you on. Its a pleasure to be here. Thank you. Stephen weve been wanting to have you on for a long time. For those who tonight know you were the only actress to win an enemy in both the dramatic and comedy categories. You won three for, obviously, your work as carmela on the sopranos. And one for nurse jackie, on showtime, season 6 finale on sunday at 9 00 p. M. Your character is addicted to percocet, vicodin, adderall, and oxycontin. Right. Stephen how Much Research did you have to do to get ready for that . I take my work very seriously, so im, as we speak, doing research. Stephen okay, good. cheers and applause . After six years of playing a nurse, do you ever say to yourself, i could fake my way through a shift . Do you think you could go into a hospital and kind of bleep for the first stix hours. Not a chance. Stephen just yell the word stat. No, i get more nervous now because people think i can do something. I run in the other as quickly as possible. Stephen do nurses ever come up to you and say, yeah, that feels right to me. You get it right. Thats what its like. Those are the ones who talk to me. The ones who dont talk to me dont feel that way. Stephen in season 1, the show was protested by the new York State Nurses Association because your character had no qualms about repeatedly violating the nursing code of ethics. Do they not know how acting works . I stay so far out of that stuff, you have no idea. I only hear about it when somebody tells me about it. Its not an argument i want to get into. Its a story about a pretend lady. Stephen it is a prevent lady. laughter . A very nice lady. Stephen yeah. Trub gld why do you some would say pretend. I like to think of actors as liars. Why do you lie for a living . Why are you an actress . Well, i spent many years practicinpracticing that particl as well, as i upon right now. laughter cheers and applause stephen no, no, i like, that i like that. So youre a liar. A little bit. Stephen arent we all, though . Kind of, right. Stephen its lovely to have you here. laughter applause i think that might have been a lie. Stephen no, not at all. You have been very pope you have you have been very open about your own sobriety expwe your own recovery. Is playing nurse jackie, is it tempting to abuse again when youre playing somebody who is abusing or is it just a reminder to never touch it again. Im lucky in that its the second of those two things. It makes me so glad that im not doing anything like that anymore. You get to remember what it felt like to be all mixed up in that chaos and that kind of polluted head and confused state all the time, where its sort of a way of life. Stephen so it actually helps . It totally helps. Absolutely. I dont know i could say its that way for everybody, but it is that way for me. Stephen when im dieting, i like to bake for other people. Its almost like that. I know a lot of sober bartenders. Stephen really. I totally get it. Drink this one. Drink this one. Its really good. Stephen do like to say its a little crunchy . When you played caramel awhy do you think so many people nurse jackie does not make addiction look good. These not like keith richards. She does not make it look good. But carmela isa i beloved matriarch, one of the most beloved of any matriarch in a tv show. Why do you think people loved her so much when she knew her husband was killing people and dumping them in the river and she did nothing to stop to them . Very complicated that. Im not the write, so i dont really know. She was devoted to the things a mother should be devoted to her children, her husband, her family and was living in this giant denial head. Thats as much as i can explain it sort of an intellectual brain. The whole thing made sense to me when i was doing it. I just thought she loved her husband. Stephen heres something that makes sense, the ending of the sopranos. I have a guess that nurse jackie is carmela in the witness protection program. And she takes the drug to forget. You can have that one for free. You tell the writers. Grateful isnt a big enough word. You work with peta also. Youre a vegetarian. I am. You work with peta. Specifically, you urged parents to keep their children away from the circus because of the use of animals for the circus. Yeah. Stephen how do you feel about guys taking selfies with tigers . Thats a rough one, you know. It depends on how into the of into it the tigers were. Stephen edie, thank you so much for joining me. My pleasure. Stephen edie falco,s can jack. Avo when cold refreshment calls. Coors light answers. Frost brewed coors light. The worlds most refreshing beer. cheers and applause stephen thats it for the report, everybody.
