( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: hey! how area you? ( cheers and applause ). >> jon: i like that! >> stephen: what's going on? please, have a seat, everybody. you're too kind. thanks. welcome. welcome to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. ( cheers and applause ) first of all, obviously, happy tuesday, everybody. ( cheers and applause ) tuesday crowd. tuesday crowd. >> jon: taco tuesday. >> stephen: it's the second dave spring? today is the second day of spring. you know who has a bad case of the mondays this tuesday? the trump administration. because, apparently, paranoia has seized the trump white house. i'm surprised. i thought russia was going to seize it. trump staffers, evidently, are so paranoid about the media, "they're staying mum in meetings out of concern that their comments could be leaked to the press by foes." i have some bad news. it didn't work, because your foes have leaked your mum-staying. and it's not just the press. not just the press they're paranoid about. white house staff are also afraid that "a 'deep state' of career military and intelligence officials is out to destroy them." now, what is a deep state? i thought it was what you achieved after doing three bong hits and watching "planet earth." very deep, very deep. those lizards are going to get caught by those snakes. snakes are talking to each other. in fact, it's a permanent national security apparatus that pulling the strings behind the scenes. one white house staffer is so fearful about the deep state spying on him that "once he gets home in the evening, he turns off his work phone and stores it in a drawer because he believes it could be used to listen to him, even when it's off." you fool. now the c.i.a. will have intel on your collection of loose batteries and takeout menus. and when he needs to make a call from home, this staefers, "uses a separate, personal phone in an adjoining room, where stowed work device wouldn't be able to pick up his voice as clearly." smart. because even if there's a vast government conspiracy out to get you, they'd never bug two phones. not going to happen. ( cheers and applause ) >> jon: they aren't going to bug two phones. >> stephen: a lot of paranoia fans here tonight. i think this paranoia is just the frustration every new administration has with washington, d.c. it happens every time, you know. you went washington. you went to work for trump because you wanted to tear down the government. now you have to deal with it. now you are the government. it's like a dog who spent his whole life chasing the car. now he has to drive the car. we're not happy about it, either, by the way. remember, we're in the back seat of a car being driven by a dog now. all right. ( cheers and applause ) this dog knows how to drive stick in this metaphor. does anyone here-- this is a kind of private and personal question. mind if i ask you one, a personal question? ( applause ). >> stephen: dozen anyone here dabble in the marijuana? shh! don't tell our attorney general and forest gnome whose riddles are kind of racist, jeff sessions. last week, sessions spoke out against the trend of legalized marijuana, saying "i am astonished to hear people suggest that we can solve our heroin crisis by legalizing marijuana, so people can trade one life-wrecking dependency for another that's only slightly less awful." sure, marijuana is only slightly less awful than heroin-- like how burning your tongue on hot cocoa is only slightly less awful than being set on fire. ( laughter ) ( applause ) just a little-- just a little... sessions really is uptight. if only there was some way to mellow him out. something that's legal in half of america at this point. if jeff sessions decides to partake in the sticky-icky, might i suggest he take a trip to the goodwill? because, recently, a cooler full of marijuana was donated to a goodwill location in monroe, washington. and you were mad when your mom donated your comic book collection. "mom, have you seen my cooler? i'm going... camping. and i really need my cooler! because, mom, i owe the bears a lot of money, mom. they really want their camping equipment." apparently, employees at this goodwill opened a cooler that had been donated to thrift store and found that it contained 3.75 pounds of pot, with an estimated street value of $24,000. or, as willie nelson calls it, "running low." he's a good guy. willy is a good guy. so as i was saying before, it's tuesday, march 21, the birthday of one of america's finest actors, matthew broderick. and so, i... >> hold it! stop it! stop it! ( cheers and applause ) stop it! ( cheers and applause ) hold on! this is madness! >> stephen: what? >> this is madness! no, no, see this man right here is a liar. >> stephen: ryan reynolds, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) ryan, it's good to see you, but i'm kind of in the middle of my monologue here. >> you shut your gorgeous mouth! i cannot stand here and let you lie to this audience. >> stephen: wait, you don't think matthew broderick is one of america's finest actors? >> of course i do, stephen. he's a national treasure! but i've been sitting back there listening to you deceive these people. today is not tuesday. ( laughter ) >> stephen: what? what? ( cheers and applause ) i'm pretty sure it's tuesday. >> it's thursday! thursday? >> you pre-taped this entire show! >> stephen: how dare you, ryan-- what's your middle name? >> rodney. >> stephen: ryan rodney reynolds, if that is your real name. it is my sworn duty as a late- night talk show host to stand up here each night and deliver topical, up-to-the minute. comedy. it's kind of my brand. it's what we do. up to the know what the national conversation is you come here because i'm talking about it that night. why on earth would i tape this show five days in advance? why? in >> i don't know-- some sort of scheduling conflict on tuesday? i don't know. >> stephen: that makes no sense. because i'm right here, on tuesday! >> when this airs, yes, but right now, when we're taping it, it's thursday! >> stephen: okay, you're wrong. and i'll prove it, okay. i'm going to do a joke that can only be told on tuesday the 21st. >> oh, oh. i can't wait. >> stephen: hey, so march madness is upon us, and did you hear this? there's only 16 teams left in he tournament. ( rim shot ) ( cheers and applause ) there you go. it's funny because it's true. >> it's not funny. one, that is not a joke. and "b," that's just how it's scheduled. there are always 16 teams by now. >> stephen: ha! you just said, "by now." >> i meant "then." look, look, here's today's paper, right here, thursday, march 16. >> stephen: you could have just bought that last week and held on to it! hold on one second. look at this. look what i have right here. i have a newspaper. it says it's april 16, 1912. the "titanic" just sank. you want me to do jokes about that, you sick bastard? you've got a real problem! >> don't push me, colbert. it's been a long week! >> stephen: no, it's been a short week, because it's only. tuesday. ( laughter ) here, i'll prove it again. this is the greatest audience in the world. is it tuesday? ( cheers and applause ) what are you going to do now, ryan rodney reynolds, call these people liars? >> oh, that is just sick. you just stole five days of these peoples' lives! >> stephen: you need to calm down. >> no, you do. you're losing it, colbert. take a good look in the mirror! >> stephen: i don't need to because when i look at you, it's like looking in the mirror. ( laughter ) ( applause ) >> okay, okay. oh! oh! okay. oh! >> stephen: look, man, i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry, i just came in a little too heated-- god you smell great. >> stephen: i don't know what came over here. let's agree that we can't agree. >> stephen: yeah, there's no need for us to fight. why don't you just go backstage and enjoy the rest of this very topical, up-to-date monologue i'm doing. and maybe afterwards you and i can go out and get some tacos. >> tacos? i love tacos. wait, is it because it's taco tuesday? >> stephen: you tell me, riryan. you can't have tacos on a thursday. >> no, that's against the law. >> stephen: so what day is it ryan? ( cheers and applause ) >> it's tuesday! it's tuesday. >> stephen: right you are, my friend. >> i'm sorry, stephen. >> stephen: don't worry about it. hey, as long as you're here, i'd love-- i'm a huge fan! i'd love to do a comedy bit with you. you can stick around? >> oh, i'd love to, but if this is tuesday, then i'm shooting a movie in l.a. right now. >> stephen: i'll tell you what, how about this. i have an idea. i'm available last thursday to pretape something. are you free back then? >> absolutely. >> stephen: great, let's have done it. >> it will have been a pleasure. >> stephen: ryan reynolds, everybody! stick around. we've got a great show. josh lucas is here. but when we return, i'll ponder big questions with a surprise celebrity guest. who could it be? who could it be? fortified.tored. replenished. emerge everyday with emergen-c packed with b vitamins, antioxidants, electrolytes plus more vitamin c than 10 oranges. why not feel this good everyday? emerge and see. adios, honey, hasta la vista, baby.

( cheers and applause ). >> stephen: so this was like 1970s-- 1970s, 1980s, "no nukes" movement, jackson brown, darrell hannah, that kind of thing? >> absolutely. >> stephen: mostly in the south. >> they focused in the south because that's why my father was from, it's where i was born and it was a place they felt needed the most attention. and they would go-- we moved to south carolina because there was a nuclear plant there -- >> stephen: the polaris sub base there was, too. >> that's exactly what it was. >> stephen: the giant polaris subs which looked like whales of death came right out of sullivan's island, of the harbor there. >> my mother was standing on the deck of the house we lived in on sullivan's island-- you'll love this story-- she was very pregnant, nine months pregnant with my baby sister. and she sees this light coming towards her at high speed. she starts to freak out and panic thinking it's a ufo. it was an f-18 fighter that sphwuzzed the house and knocked her on her feet and almost sent her into birth because of the bases there. sheeshe immediately freaked out, called the base, called the military base, and they said there was no aircraft there at all but it literally knocked her to the ground. >> stephen: did people know your parents were there protesting nuclear weapons? >> i'm sure they did it on purpose. >> stephen: wow, you should get a senate subcommittee to investigate that for you. it's never too late and you don't need any evidence at all. just say, "you're going to call my mom a liar? i'll take you to court." how come you don't have a southern accent. >> like you i had it beantown out of me. >> stephen: i went to act expool they said, "no more of that." >> i had the real, charleston accent -- >> stephen: you were born in little rock. >> fayetteville. >> stephen: my apologize. >> but i did, i had it. i had a real southern accent, and my mother was from new york. >> stephen: when does it come back? >> let's get drunk, man. >> stephen: i'm fine, but when it does it come back. it is. yeah, a little too much to drink, you get a little angry. or talk to somebody back home on the phone. now how-- how hippie are your parents we're talking about here? like, how-- how committed? how chain yourself to a nuclear reactor were they ( laughter ) >> my father would be so disappointed i say that but on a scale from a sign-out and being arrested and going to jail, they went to jail. they did. they believed hard in what they did. my father-- ( applause ) i watched my father be arrested a number of times for trespassing because that was a way to, you know, have a civil protest without any violence whatsoever. they absolutely believed in the nonviolent movement. but it was amazing as a kid when it happened because once, they put all of these people that were arrested, about 50 people, 99 ndz these pens that they were made of gates. and i-- i was this angry little five, seven-year-old boy outside this gate and i picked up a pine cone and threw it across-- not at anything-- but i nearly hit one of the guards, one of the cops that was watching. and he had-- he had a-- this is true-- he had a automatic machine gun in his hand, and he turned and pointed it right at me. and to this day, to this day, a cop pulls me over for a parking ticket. >> and start shake. it terrifies me. >> stephen: you don't keep any pine cones in your glove compartment, do you? i would not recommend that at all. >> pine cones are my civil disobedience. i consider them nonviolent. >> stephen: well, you have a new film called "the most hated woman in america," which is about madeline murray o'hare, and her abduction. and i grew up, i was raised a catholic, and i was, boy, boy, there was nothing-- >> you hated her right. >> stephen: she was certainly somebody you threw darts at in your mind. if you tell the people who she was and what happens in the film. >> madeline murray o'hare was this housewife who had a couple-- maybe illegitimate children lived at home with her very religious parents. and one day, one of her kids came home homeand talked about how he had to say the lord's prayer at school-- he went to public school. >> stephen: it was in the 60s. >> and she said, "no, you don't." and he said, "well, mom, they said i do. she dragged him into the school and said,"my son does not have to pray." and the woman said, "yes he does." she said, no, he doesn't. sue us." she took it all wait to the supreme court-- i think the amaze thing about the story for everyone to consider, this woman had no money, no political power whatsoever, but she took this mission so far as to go to the supreme court and have the constitution, the laws -- well, the constitution may be honored, it depends on how you look at it. but have the laws of this country change. and it's an amazing thing that she did. and in the process she became, you know, a real true pariah to much of america. they felt like she had taken away this, you know, beautiful thing that happened at the beginning of the school day. >> stephen: right, the idea that there was sort of-- again, there's a perennial sort of football which is prayer in schools. >> exactly. >> stephen: she's the person who actually stopped that from happening. >> she stopped it exactly. and her whole point was you can pray but you don't have to pray the lord's prayer. she said should be able to do a prayer from the koran if you want. you should be able to do what you want. it should be your private moment. it became something that was battled over. there were riots. she had death threats and she createdly the american atheist society, and took it and would literally go to a theater like this with a catholic priest and they would have these dispbz she would rip up the bible in front of everyone and yell and scream. >> stephen: did not make a lot of friends. >> she loved -- >> stephen: and i'm not giving it away-- it did not end well for her. >> it did not end well, which is what i play. i play the guy who she helped-- she was a-- someone who believed in helping others, without a doubt. so she took this guy who was in prison and he worked for her and in the process, she started showing him how she was basically taking the money that people were sending her for the work that she was doing, and embezzling it and putting it in offshore accounts. so he realized that. when they had that battle that you see in that scene, she embarrasses him and he decides to retaliate by taking her-- kidnapping her and her son and her granddaughter. and it does not go well. >> stephen: does not gl gwell. and the police didn't even want to look because she was-- >> she disappeared for five years and nobody investigated, the police or f.b.i., because they were so happy she was missing. >> stephen: would. well, happy that you're here. >> grateful to be here. >> stephen: please come back to sullivan's island. you'll still like it.

"the swarm." >> stephen: a four-person swarm. that's a very small swarm. >> never thought of that before. that is a small swarm. >> stephen: i used to improvise all the time. i was in second city in chicago and i used to improvise with u.c.b., and amy and that crowd on sunday night which was a joy. i have not done it in a long time. has it changed over the years? after 20 years of doing this are you a different improvisor or a different group from 20 years ago? >> i would say so. i notice now as opposed to when we were in our 20s we feendz a lot of excuses to sit down. the shows used to be, i'm climbing the side of building, you're coming out of a window," and now it's like, let's pull up four chairs and argue for a half hour." >> stephen: "review" is come back for which season, what number? >> this will be our third. >> stephen: third and final season. >> that's like, you don't know whether to applaud. >> stephen: that's true. you want us to honor but you don't want to celebrate. >> no. >> stephen: i love this show because i-- i-- i said to you backstage, it reminds me, aldly of "our town," because this is a man who is completely disassociated with living his life. he's reviewing everything. >> right. >> stephen: every experience that he has. it's sort of oddly deconstructed view of the world. >> yes, he is observing human life from a remove, which is hard to do while you're alive. but it's because he's really not living his life. he's -- >> stephen: can you give the people an example of something that he has done that you would normally review? >> the show is-- forest mcneil is the character i play, and his viewers make requests of him, "will you do this and review it?" in the first season he had to review what is it like to make a sex tape? and he asked his wife to participate in a sex tape with him and she said no. oftentimes things go awry -- >> stephen: one time someone requested he review what it's like to get divorced so he asked his wife for a divorce. >> exactly. that was in the very next episode after the sex tape didn't happen, he asked his wife fair divorce. and because it's for the show but he doesn't want to tell her it's for the show that would skew the experience. it makes perfect sense. he doesn't tell her why he's asking for a divorce, and he didn't want one, and she doesn't want one, and it's a gut-wremping scene. >scene. >> stephen: what about the sex tape? >> because his wife would not participate in the sex tape here, bought a $4,000 hyperrealistic sex doll to do it with. and what we did to shoot this, i'm sorry to say, our prop master went to a place that sells these, and he was able to borrow the floor model for-- ( laughter ) he was able to borrow the floor model. >> stephen: the sample. >> the sample model that's on the floor. >> stephen: these are machine washable, yes? >> i don't know that! i mean what, disturbs me is that someone is the last person to leave that showroom every night pup know what i'm saying? >> stephen: sure. >> maybe you don't, but let's not go further into it. anyhow, this thing is hideous. the doll is hideous and it has a snap-offable face, of course. and it accidentally snapped off while we were shooting it. what a nightmare. >> stephen: sure, sure. >> the weirdest thing that happened with that segment because i'm also the producer and involved through the edtipping, i was watching a cut of it at a coffee shop. i'm sitting in a coffee shop and watching a cut -- >> stephen: on your laptop. >> yeah omy laptop of the segment where i'm having sex with this rubber doll and i'm sitting there taking notes and observing the cut, and then after a half hour of this, i turn around and realize there's a whole bunch of people that can see my screen. >> stephen: is it blurred. >> no, not at all. it's just them watching a man watching himself have sex with a rubber doll and take notes. ( laughter ) ( applause ) >> stephen: i watched that. i'll watch that. >> "here's how i would do that differently next time." >> stephen: well, good luck with the next season. >> thank you. >> stephen: i'm sorry it's the last season. >> yeah.
