And special guest Sigourney Weaver. 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 hey thanks, everybody jon hey stephen hey, jon, good to see you. Sorry. Jon no, no, no. Stephen thanks so much. Listen to that. That, that right there, thats a thats a friday crowd right there. Jon thats right. cheers and applause stephen every week its the best crowd of the week. Its incredible. Folks, welcome to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. cheers and applause because it is friday, i dont know what your brunch plans are this weekend, but if youre looking for something refreshing as things get warm out there, starbucks has introduced a new drink called the unicorn frappuccino because the name sugary affront to god was taken. laughter i have no idea how many unicorns theyre grinding up for these things, but im guessing peta is furious. Jon theyre mad. Stephen according to the press release, dlnd its made with a sweet dusting of pink powder blended into a creeme frappuccino with mango syrup and layered with a pleasantlysour blue powder topping. Thats it. Thats all you need. Thats all your foot groups right there. Mango, pink, blue, and obviously, topping. The f. D. A. Recommends three of at least three serving of topping a day. Its the food pyramid, all toppings up there. Now, this was starbucks attempt to take over social media, they say, with a drink thats made to be instagramed. Its true its their most instagrammable drink since the starbucks. Cataccino. So people are loving the unicorn fraech. Is it really popular . People are talkin talking about, right . So i wanted to know how it tastes, so live, live on tv. There you go. Yeah. Thats a color i can only describe of as tumor. Lets try this. And, here we go, live on air, trying the unicorn frappe. Oh, i wish i was dead. laughter tastes like a french kissed tinkerbell. Thats not weird. Shes an adult. Shes just very small. Okay, shes a fullgrown fairy. Peter pans the one who wont grow up, all right. Take this away before i Say Something else incriminating. Anyway, this is only available until april 23, so, hurry . But after the unicorn frappe, ive been told starbucks is moving on to their new mythological drink the minotaur macchiato. It will gore your tastebuds and leave them at the center of a terrifying labyrinth of flavor. Speaking of terrifying, and labyrinth for that matter all week, ive been bringing you the latest from the trial of conspiracy radio host and furious hardboiled egg, alex jones. laughter you guys know who he is . You know who alex jones, is info wars. Very popular. Donald trump is a big fan. Jones is in a legal battle with his exwife, who says hes too unstable to have custody of their children. And to prove it, shes been showing the court videos like this George Washington with diarrhea running out of his pants on top that horse marching to kick ass marching not to give up taking action thats who we come from, and we let all these hunchback scum rule us i will never submit to you and the human spirit is rising you will not turn us into animals laughter cheers and applause stephen yes, you can never turn alex into an animal, because hes already a rabid badger. But jones lawyer defended him, saying that when he says stuff like that, jones is just playing a character. And, evidently, yesterday jones took the stand and backed that up. Reportedly, realalexjones called out Stephen Colbert in testimony thats me. And said, he was making fun of me the other day, but he doesnt take that home to kids. That is true. I dont take that home. Whenever i talk about alex jones, my wife will not let me into the house until i am deloused. She makes me burn my clothes outside before i enter the airlock. You ever see in the adrom nastrain . Like that. We also learned a bit about how the marriage went wrong. Jones told the court that even though his exwife was a member of peta, jones likes to eat zebra steaks. And would you like that rare, or medium rare . Id like it extremely rare, endangered, in fact. Of course, one of the accusations against him is drug use, which he admitted to, saying he sometimes smokes marijuana, nearly yearly, to monitor its strength, which is how Law Enforcement does it. laughter yes, everyone remembers that one law order episode per year where the detectives burn down the dank bud, then sit on the couch with a bunch of snacks, and bingewatch law order. Its pretty trippy. In fact, its not just law order. Its real. All cops do this. All policemen get stoned once a year. But first they look in the mirror and say, am i a cop . I gotta tell me if im a cop. And again, i feel bad for alex jones here. In the past im a performer and ive been judged for the things ive said while in character, specifically the character of tuck buckford, who is the host of the rightwing radio show brainfight. I gotta tell you brainfighters, ben franklin had irritable bowel syndrome, just exploding all over that kite in the middle of a rainstorm but did that stop him . No it did not he kept going, okay and just it went everywhere, okay and thats how he invented the moist towelet laughter now, brain nation, i gotta tell you, old tucks a bit mellow today because for your safety i have been testing the strength of some of george soros patented mindcontrol marijuana. I do it once a year, and then once an hour for a year, just like the brave men and women of the coast guard. laughter you can really taste the butane. laughter now, i get a lot of calls saying, youve accused the tooth fairy of not being real, but what do we tell our kids . You tell your kids the truth, okay tooth fairys really the c. I. A. Coming to our childrens rooms at night to collect their d. N. A. Off the little molars and the bicuspids to use the d. N. A. To generate artificial cyber sperm that they sell to the witchs coffens who use turkey baifters to inseminate each other to create an army of demon babies to fight our wars im not making this stuff up im imagining it, okay . Now, if youve been watching the news, you may have heard from my exwife, deb, that im a marijuana addict who should not be trusted with my own children. It is not true. I am just loggy from eating all this delicious giraffe meat. And, yes, my wife is an animal lover, and, yes, this is the april the giraffe. But im man with teeth, teeth that chew, and a throat that swallows, and a heart in my chest that beats four to five times a minute because of all the meat ive been chewing. Youre dead im alive youre dead im alive now, if youll excuse me, i have to check out some of the crack cocaine the department of justice has been pushing on the muppets on sesame street. Big birds in on it. Snafalopolous isnt real. False flag. Lets see how good this crack is. Woooo that is stronger than it was this morning kids, dont do this stuff, okay . Because if you try to take mine, you will draw back a bleed stump you will fight my brain my brain has cobra fangs will youll be dead in eight seconds. Hematoxins laughter todays show is brought to you by blue apron, not the food, the ledlined smock that keeps the National Park Service Satellites from photographing your genitals while you sleep so i never sleep give me that crack im going to put it on my ding dong just like Thomas Jefferson told us to do in the magna carter oh, thats good oh, thats good cheers and applause stephen weve got a great show for you tonight.

He called me and said, youre the voiceave genovation and i want you to read this monologue. I cant read it. And i was like okay. Its a really intense monologue.

I was disappointed that he was disappointed. Stephen did you play drums for him . He got me to and it was really bad. Stephen do you think he was just getting you back for what your mom said .

You actually had to put out photos proving that you two were a couple. Im guessing hes the one who should feel insulted here. Oh stephen because how did he take it . No, he hes used to it. How he took it was he started posting more pictures of, like, our tongues touching and stuff, like personal pictures. And im like, dude i told him chance the rapper had texted me to be like yeah, im seeing all these pictures on line. Its not for real, right . And im like, yeah, thats my man.

Stephen like serious meditation, like cons straighting on your breathing or like ohm . No, really on top of it. When we met we were dating for a while and i had a ruptured cyst on my overry, and he took care of me in an adult diaper. That is love. Stephen that is love. Its all downhill from there. And hes got me meditating and journaling and doing all this amazing stuff. He is actually quite healthy. You would never know. Hes got me taking care of myself. Stephen as i said, i was saying to jon before you came out here, youre in all of the Marvel Netflix series. Youre the one character that links all of them. You are nurse claire temp.

I play a woman, julia think , and has fallen in love, and everything is going really well except the first marriage is not apparently over for his ex. Were going to see here where shes been gas lighting me for a while and im not going to take it anymore and i stand up to her which is really funny because in this clip i was standing up to her because im on the steps if you watch the movie because the clip cuts out i step down and im shorter than her and i dont seem as threatening. I think they cut it right after so i look really tough. Why are you doing this . I dont know what you mean. Yes, you do. Hey, this is really difficult for everyone but it doesnt actually have to be this hard. Im not doing anything, julia. I am simply living my life with my family.

Are you threatening me . Yes. Oh stephen does it go down . And then i step down and then it goes leak this. Stephen you eventually fight, right . Yeah, it was pretty fun. Stephen i know one of the reasons you were at the rally jon and i did seven years ago now, believe it or not, is that youre very politically active. You are in the parlance of the millennials youre wowx. Ive been told thats the right thing to say. What are you working on right now . Are you involved in any action, as we say in the streets . Yeah, i mean, im im on the border of lower Side Girls Club here and vday. American ferrera, i will harness my energy, an organization that has a bunch of Different Things you can go and support.

Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest won a welldeserved tony for her performance as angelica skyler in hamilton. She now stars in the immortal. Life of Henrietta Lacks. Please welcome Renee Elise Goldsberry applause . Thank you for having me. Stephen hey. A little beethoven for you there. Thank you very much. Stephen theyre very good. They are very good. Stephen speak of very good, i mean, as i said, welldeserved tony for playing angelica skyler in hamilton. Thank you. cheers and applause . Stephen i said lin and other cast members who have been on here before, people must have said this to you. At the end of that show you would just say to yourself, why am i crying Alexander Hamilton again . But you would. The show was such a tremendous gift as was your performance. Thank you. Stephen now that you have moved behind it, what is posthamilton life like . Do you wait for life to slield into sweeping melodies or rap lyrics everywhere you go . Every chance i get im rapping and rhyming. Every chance, i hear music in the air. Stephen people must come up to you and sing the songs. They do, and i love that, most of the time. I actually the best part of about it is so many children know every single word of this. Its always show and tell when you meet different kids. Ill actually put them on my instagram when i can. Its actually good for you. How often do you memorize something that actually is relevant, and its something that you want your children to have memorized. That doesnt happen very often, so that makes me happy. Stephen you are Henrietta Lacks in the the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. And it was a book i believe came out 2008 the book came out . Its a its a brilliant story of an extraordinary womans life and how it has changed all of our lives. You can explain to the people out there who Henrietta Lacks is, other than her contribution to science. Absolutely. And its important to know. Its like hamilton. Its another story that no one knows and it impacts us all. Henrietta lacks was an African American woman who died in 1951 of cervical cancer. But most importantly, she was a woman that loved to paint her nails. She was a woman that loved to dance. She was a woman that was a mother with five children. And somebody they biopsied her they took her cell, and it was the first cell that was able to live outside of the body, so it is responsible for the polio vaccine, the hiv cocktail. Everything we know about cells what we learned about d. N. A. Its maybe it will save us from the zika virus at some point. Stephen so many cells, normally when theyre harvested from someone and they try to propagate it for na sliewtion or petri dish fir lack of a better word they die out. But Henrietta Lacks cells keep going until this day. Exactly. Thats why we call thim immortal. Her family was not aware that happened until they came back to their home to do more research on them. It brings up issues of consent. It brings up issues of ethics, donors, anyway, with any kind of tissue. Its really numberable the story. But most beautiful thing about it is how a cancer cell could save the world and really the search of the children to find out who their mother was. If you can imagine how crazy it would be if your mother died when you were so young, and yet you know somehow that shes everywhere, but you dont know anything about her. Stephen that is an extraordinary thing is that she shes not just, like, remembered by her family and the contribution that the research on her cells have given to medicine. But she is still being propagated. These cells are still being propagated around the world. So she is all around us. She is all around us. Stephen did you feel that when you were making the movie giabsolutely do. Anything exwt anything would happen. Oprah winfrey was in the movie and she herself would say, theres henrietta. If it was raining hard or crazy, we felt she was there. It felt as though this was the time for the story to be told and i felt her presence all the tile. It was really, really beautiful. It gave me the courage to play her. Stephen well, we have a clip right here. I think this is when youre telling your friends, back in 1951, that you have cancer, and explain to them what you hope for your own children. Jim. I got something inside of me. Hennie, please dont tell me you have another baby with that man. Oh, gladys. What kind of thing. Cancer. Oh, no. You gotta promise me, make sure nothing bad happen to my children. Especially my baby girl. I want to braid her hair. Dress her up real pretty. Teach her how to paint her nails and handle men. cheers and applause thank you. I have to tell you thank you. I dont think they had i think i saw a cut of the movie for the first time on an editors bay a long time ago, so the first time i really saw the movie was at the premiere last night. And i was so embarrassed because i was weeping so hard not at my own performance. I was weeping watching oprahs performance. I was weeping watching rose byrnes performance. I was weeping watching all i felt like all of my children in this movie. And i just had to run out of the room and hide in the bathroom because i think its a little obnoxious if someones premiere is over and they walk out like, oh, my god that was amazing so it was a bit embarrassing but its such a beautiful film and im so excited that its in the world. Stephen well, congratulations, and thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much. Stephen it was lovely to meet you. The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks premieres tomorrow on hbo.

Please welcome, moshe kasher applause stephen thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me. Stephen well, a new talk show on comedy central. You wouldnt know about that. Stephen how is everybody over there. Its good, im good. I finally figured out the block feature on twitter. Stephen are you being attacked . Im not being attacked but i preempted it. I found a new feature and you can go in and block specific phrases. Did you know that . Stephen no. All these phrases i knew theyd come at me with jew, big bleep perfect hair. They cant get to me. Stephen i havent blocked those yet. No, you dont have to. laughter stephen starting a new very well. Starting a new show, ive started a couple of new shows in my day. It can be chaotic. Do you guys have everything nailed down yet . We have we are dealing with controlled chaos. Just by the premise of the show. Were trying to talk to people that wouldnt normally get along. Were trying to have you have done this really well on this show. Were trying to have real conversations but we deal with rare, chaotic creatures. Next weeks episode is about islam. Not the one this week but next week. We wanted to get people from outside the liberal world to ask real pointed questions to a panel of muslim friends of mine we invited on, and we went on this website four chan i see there are chaners in the house. Stephen that is a dark, dark place. We said, please submit any questions. Were going to get rid of hate speech, of course. When we went into the email address we gave them, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of just gay reality porn subscriptions were in there. laughter and i was like you know the adult in me was like, thats awful. And the comedian in me was like, thats awesome. And then theres a third part of me that was like, i need a little bit of time in my dressing room. laughter . Stephen why is it called problematic. Problematic is a term people throw at people when they Say Something that is offensive. Basically i think whats that happened i have been thinking about the phrase in the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous as i always bring up when im on the show. Get help, stephen. To admit that others were wrong was as far as most us ever got, right. And i feel like that is the primary interactor were dealing with right now. Everybody says, youre wrong, and then thats the end of the conversation. By the way, im a liberal, and were the worst at it. Liberals are the worst. We do this thing and talk about the way we talk about rightwing voters is so country. These backcountry, hillbilly, banjoplaying, moonshine swilling, cousinhumping morons, why dont they vote with us . Its like, uh, they could hear you. laughter . Stephen what are you wrong about . What is problematic about you . Do you admit to your own problem atissity. Its a word. Its a word. Whats the most problematic thing about me . I have identity issues. I came from a weird background. My parents are both deaf, theyre super into hiphop. My mom growing up, strong deaf woman, great deaf woman. Im from oakland, california, broop. Ive been doing that for a long time but it makes less sense with gentrification. Now its, im from oakland. Latte. Im very funny. But i will say this, growing up in oakland, i listened to the soundtrack of oakland. I had an identity crisis growing up. People like snoop dogg, e40. That was the soundtrack of my life. And if you are going to be eight and nine years old listening to gangsta rap, its definitely helpful to have a deaf mother. My mom would just be happily driving us to school as were blaring snoop dogg. Hos and trick. My mom was like, i love this. I can feel the bass. We love it, too, beatch. We couldnt say that.
