Stephen welcome to a late show. Im steve coalbert. Happy earth day, everyone. Today is a big one, because its the 50th earth day the big 50. And, i gotta say, earths still looking great. Shes just getting hotter every year, even with the receding glaciers and putting on a little water weight around the coastline. And earth is having kind of a moment right now because, with people staying home, the earth is turning wilder and cleaner, with reduced co2, better air quality, and animals roaming city streets. Turns out the best present for earth day is the same as mothers day time away from her children. Just get all the unruly humans out of her hair so mother earth can sit in a bubble bath and watch outlander. Now, while humans stay inside, the worlds cities are getting reclaimed by animals.

The record will show that on october 27th, 1947, a subcommittee of the house on American Activities Committee met with the chairman, dishonorable Parnell Thomas presiding.

My name is Richard Dreyfuss. And im a child of the blacklist. I was not my parents were not in show business but they were the victims of the blacklist nonetheless.

About africanamerican fatherhood have been used in this conversation that we seem to be having about race for really hundreds of years. Well, i almost dont even know where to begin. Answering that question, though the topic of my talk invites the question.

Called the noise of time, a novel. Im telling the story of the collision of art and power am and without wins and who loses. Who wins in the short term. How the artist fights back. And also i hope by the time you get to the end of it, who wins in the longterm because in the longterm, the artist as long as he hasnt been kill, wins out. I we remember the name of mozart. We dont remember who the archduke of whatever was. We conclude this evening with jeses ka lange starring on broadway in long days journey into night. For me, at this point, in my life, its the greatest part i could possibly play. I mean i think its one of the best roles in american drama. And it is what it does is it offers you like everything as an actor you want to do. It is physical, its emotional, its you know, i mean it just covers everything from a to z.
