If you call sitting in the same pew at the same mass at the same church 25 years and everybody knew be were ten minutes late because my mother would bust out coughing it was religous and pull a napkin lick it and wipe both our faces.

Well take you right out to storm scan 3 and see how dark it gets on camera at night. 56 in kutztown and its chilly. Its not even morning yet. Usually you hit the overnight lows sometime around sunrise and that means we still have a solid six or seven hours to go before the numbers will bottom out. Then kutztown is one spot that could head to 40s tonight. Storm scan 3 shows clear skies across the region and thats the case for the next couple days and at least until the system starts to get a little closer to us. This is producing showers and storms. And even had tornado warnings earlier tonight in portions of the midwest.

Its a chilly start to friday morning. Feeling like fall tomorrow morning. 47 allentown and 45 mount pocono and 59 here in philadelphia. And lets time this out as we head to the weekend. We really do need the rain. You never want it on a weekend because so many people have outdoor plans and sports for the kids well time it out four. Tomorrow the clouds stay west of us. Its a sunny, beautiful friday and saturday, clouds will increase in the afternoon but most of the shower and thunderstorm Activity Still stays off west. So, even though again a few more clouds late in the day, saturday looks good. Sunday is when the showers end and possibly thunderstorms could creep closer. 9 a. M. Off to the west you see it proliferates during the day and not a total washout and popup showers and storms here and there you dodge them if you head outside and certainly feeling the uptic in mutety through the weekend. Today we have dew points in 40s and tomorrow close to that, dew points around 50 and through the weekend the humidity levels increase and it will feel down right steamy here again on sunday before starting to drop again monday.

Late show with Stephen Colbert is next. Know why. The interview also revealed that trump eats a fair amount of fast food because, according to him, at least you know whats in it. laughter you know whats in it . Donald, the only thing we know less about than whats in fast food is what is in your tax returns. cheers and applause then good dr. Asked the 70year then good dr. Asked the 70year old candidate to diagnose himself. When you look into the mirror, how old is the person you are looking at . What do you see . I would say, i see a person thats 35 years old. cheers and applause stephen 35 . Donald, thats not your reflection, thats your wife. cheers and applause beautiful woman jon cold blooded its true. Stephen beautiful woman. Trump also said he doesnt exercise that often but, even, so hes good enough at golf to play with the pga. Thats a real medical shocker. Judging by the size of his hands, i would have guessed minigolf. piano riff stephen now, speaking of which, according to a new survey out of the university of california, overall, most u. S. Men are satisfied with their genitals. So satisfied, in fact, that many would like to text you a picture of them. The researchers behind this survey came up with a scale called the index of male genital image, also known as tinder. cheers and applause this index asked how men felt about every aspect of their genitals, such as penis length, girth, shape, and scent. Look, fellas, if you can get your nose close enough to smell your own genitals, first of all congratulations. laughter cheers and applause second of all. Second of all. When do you ever go out . laughter researchers found that out of the nearly 4,000 men surveyed, a total of 86 were classified as satisfied with their penises. While the other 14 said, yes, of course im satisfied. Why, what did you hear . Have you been talking to lisa . You know, if there was some way they could be surveyed, im not sure if the penises would be all that satisfied with the men they were attached to. Ehh, hes okay. Could be a little taller. Also, why wont he let me sleep . Now, say hi to jon batiste and stay human, everybody cheers and applause stephen you know, one of the stephen you know, one of the other issues people have been talking a lot about this election is the clinton foundation, and whether big donors received favors from Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state. But whatever you think about the clinton foundation, it has done real charity work earthquake relief in haiti, expanded access to h. I. V. Drugs in africa, and one assumes theyre working on a cure for secret pneumonia. But now somebodys got to do it. But now trump is under fire for his charity, the Trump Foundation, because it gave an illegal donation to Florida Attorney general and rush chairman who doesnt believe youre the theta material, pam bondi, when she was considering investigating fraud at trump university. And yesterday, we learned that new York Attorney general Eric Schneiderman is investigating trumps foundation. We dont know much about the Trump Foundation. All we know is that nearly all of the foundations money comes from people other than trump. And trump is truly generous with other peoples money. For instance, in 2010, trump got a trophy from the Palm Beach Police foundation for his selfless support of its cause. And thats unusual, because trump usually marries his trophies. cheers and applause again, beautiful. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And this selfless gift truly had no self in it because the 150,000 he gave to the Palm Beach Police came directly from a new Jersey Charity who gave the money to his foundation. That 150grand couldnt be a more of a regift if it was on an itunes gift card. Best of all, in the trump charitable spirit, trump may have actually made money that night because the gala was held at his maralago resort, and the Police Foundation paid to rent the room. audience reacts thats the soul of charity you scratch my back, and i rent you a backscratcher. laughter but, one of the foundations biggest causes seems to be fun things to put in Donald Trumps office. Because in charity auctions, it spent 12,000 on a football helmet autographed by tim tebow, and 20,000 on a sixfoottall painting of donald trump. And i believe we have that painting. Do we have that, jimmy . laughter there you go. Yes. That, of course, is actually vigo the carpathian from ghostbusters two, but the first time i saw it this afternoon, i didnt know we had made it up. laughter it really looks like something he would buy. And with all this good work, its no surprise that the Trump Foundation has a staff of four trumps donald, ivanka, eric and donald jr. , who work a grueling halfhour a week, and that includes two 15minute breaks. laughter got to have em. You gotta rest. applause you gotta rest. But despite all this controversy, the Trump Foundation is continuing its charitable outreach with this new ad we somehow exclusively acquired. Every week, children like these are forced to work for dozens and dozens of minutes on a heartbreaking task trying to make donald trump look generous. Thats why the Trump Foundation needs your help. For just the price of a cup of coffee inside a new lexus you can help donald trump buy so many things, like some solid gold desktop clacky balls, a diamond trophy that says most charitable and a tiger signed by peyton manning. The Trump Foundation, arent you glad you helped out . cheers and applause stephen do the right thing do the right thing well be right back with the star of blackish, Tracee Ellis Ross. cheers and applause hey, need fast heartburn relief .

And when it got to my category, i thought, oh, my god, are they doing the e of the ellis or the r of the ross, and then i thought, they passed the es and then i got so excited i got up, ran around my dining room table, opened the front door, ran outside and ran around and i thought, what are you doing . There is nowhere to go call somebody stephen so you were running around screaming in your front yard . Totally. Stephen did the neighbors think there was a fire . Oh, theyre totally used to that.

Stephen well have this shellacked and framed. Exactly. applause stephen so we have been lucky enough, ive had a lot of fun with some of your costars, and ill ask you the same question, what is blackish . Okay. Stephen i dont know the black experience, i dont think i know the blackish experience. What is blackish as opposed to black . Okay. Stephen good question. Its the hot seat. 30 seconds on the clock. In terms of what the show expresses, being black is not a monolithic experience. Stephen mmhmm. So our show explores what it is to be black today and how that evolved and how its changing and what that experience is for this family. So that does not answer your question. Stephen no, anything answers my question. So thats really what it is. Its exploring what black is today. Stephen do you have to be black to be blackish because im definitely not black. Does anyone have a shot at being blackish . Could i have a shot at being blackish . To a certain extent you missed the point by asking that question. laughter however. However, i understand that, within that question is your desire to be black. Stephen to understand each other is what my desire is because i am white. Yes, and i am half white. Stephen really . Yes. Stephen i am all white. laughter as a matter of fact, in websters, there is a little picture of me next to the word white. laughter you grew up all around the world. But i think the thing is, though, i believe in a colorful world. So its not about you needing to be something other than what you are. Its about two people celebrating what they are and finding the connection in that and the human experience. cheers and applause stephen you were a model when you started. A short time. Stephen a short, fun time . Yes. Lots of not eating. Stephen that doesnt sound like fun at all. There were a lot of beautiful clothes. When i was in my early 20s im 43 now so its a little bit ago, 21 to 23, i walked into a
