Show with Stephen Colbert cheers and applause captioning sponsored by cbs stephen thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Hey hey, whats going on . Thank you very much. Welcome. Welcome to the late show. Im Stephen Colbert. Weve got to get to the big story thats happening right now, might still be happening as i say this. Have you guys heard about this . Staged a sitin to force action on gun control. cheers and applause join in. Why not . Why not, ill do that. Ill do that. After all, theyre fighting for two things 90 of americans are in favor of stopping terrorists from getting guns and sitting down. laughter we all like it. I dont know why i dont have a chair out here actually. This feels unnatural, un american, certainly, to stand for this long. Now in response and this is true republicans shut off cspans cameras booing which really upset cspans viewer. applause laughter in their defense, cspan then what . Cspan doesnt control the cameras . If you dont control what we see, what do you span . laughter i mean, if not controlling cameras what, does cspan do . Is it a Money Laundering scheme . Are they a front for the worlds most boring Heroin Cartel . I dont understand. Now, im sympathetic with what the democrats are trying to do here, but as usual they need ali messaging. Listen to what connecticut Democrat John larson said as members began to sit down. Rise up, democrats. Rise up, americans. This cannot stand. laughter applause stephen timeless. Timeless. cheers and applause vote before the fourth of july recess. And to send that message, they chanted no bill, no break almost drowning out the gun lobby shouting, ill make the check out to cash republicans republicans are already responding. Representative tom cole said, i dont think we should allow any group to bring the work of the house to a halt. Its true. Its true. You wouldnt want the gridlock to lit laughter as of applause cheers and applause dont let your complete paralysis get in the way of a good stalemate. Now, as of this taping, right now, the democrats are still staging their sitin. And if you want to know if its still going on, just check out cspan. If you dont see them, theyre there. The only ones in america not pointed at donald trump. This morning, with his poll numbers dropping, he gave a very fiery speech that some are calling an attempt to reset his campaign. I mean, they had to reset it. They kept getting the message error 404 shame not found. cheers and applause and after months of going after Hillary Clinton, trump finally pivoted and then really went after Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency. Her decisions spread death, destruction, and terrorism everywhere she touched. Hillary clinton wants to bring in people who believe women should be enslaved and gays put to death. Shes virtually done nothing good. Stephen also, i invited her to my wedding. Shes a great lady, and i love her. laughter applause shes fantastic. cheers and applause and the reason donald was so red in the face well, scientists still dont know the reason. But the reason he was so angry was because yesterday, Hillary Clinton questioned his business record. Qualified to be president because of his business record. Hes written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at chapter 11. laughter applause stephen i did a humor laughter my advisors say that mirth is very humanizing. All of us together. And shes right. Trump filed chapter 11 for three casinos. Though, to be fair, its impossible to make money running one of those things. You know what they say about casinos, the customer always wins. But while trump may have lost money on his casinos, he may turn a profit on his latest business running for president. Because, recently released fundraising reports show hes used 6 million in campaign and family. So whether or not he wins, he could make a profit. We have footage of his top Campaign Advisor explaining how that works. Under the right circumstances, a producer could make more money with a flop than he could with a hit. cheers and applause stephen okay. Thats actually the producers. Yes. Yes, yes. Yes, i love a good common cultural reference from the genre of comedy. You know who does, also. Jon batiste and stay human, everybody. Say hi. . . . cheers and applause stephen hey, folks, before we go any further, i have got something important to talk to you about. Its a major, breaking story i covered last week, when i shared the incredible news that scientists discovered a new sex position for frogs. Of course, in order to explain a story like this, it was important to show the scientific diagram of the new position. Unfortunately youll see. Now, heres the thing. This is cbs, and at this point, i have no idea if theyre going to blur frogs having sex over my shoulder tonight. I cant wait to go home and find out. They blurred it apparently i went all the way home for nothing. Whats the point of going home if you cant look at frog genitals . And look at the size of the area they blurred good lord our censors are being very generous to kermit here. laughter now, im not attacking cbs standards and practices department. They are just good people doing their jobs, is what it says on the prompter for me to read here. But, i am genuinely confused by this. This is not even an actual scientific journal next youll tell me i cant even reference the proceedings of the National Academy of sciences because the title looks like penis. laughter jimmy, please jimmy, thank you we cant take any chances with cbs cheers and applause now children could be watching children now, believe it or not, the show this to you, reached all the way up to the head cbs lawyer, who said, in this actual email that i have printed out right here and i quote animals dont bleep on cbs. When did cbs decide thats a rule . Mustve been a particularly graphic episode of lassie. Honestly. Honestly, since this is only a line drawing, frogs have no external genitalia, and you cant even see anything when its not blurred. I think the only reason the network blurred this is because i said its a picture of frogs having sex. I guess well never know. In other science news, researchers recently released a fascinating depiction of never before seen behavior in amphibians frog tandem skydiving. They didnt blur it we did it cheers and applause the late show is your destination to see frog skydiving only cbs well be right back with uzo aduba. band playing america thought our pancakes were pretty special.

Cash money, yall stephen please welcome uzo aduba. . . . applause great audience. Thank you for having me. Stephen you really sprinted out here just now. I did. Stephen and im not surprised because one of the first things i wanted to ask you about, i saw this one of my producers showed me this photo right before the show started tonight this is you at boston university. cheers and applause what was you were you were a track star at b. U. What was your event . I ran the 100200 meters, sprinter. Stephen wow. Sprinter. Stephen what was your time . Thats top secret stephen it still holds the record at b. U. , i understand. Yeah, yeah. Stephen thats fantastic. 11. 6. Stephen my question is, what interests me about it, is track and field is so cut and dry, you know. You win or you didnt win. Theres a clock up there, or theres a measuring tape or Something Like that. You know. And then you go to acting which is also, you know touchyfeely, so much gray area. How did you go from one to the other . I always ran, my whole life, and i always did music as well, act. And i got to go to boston university, fortunately enough, on a track scholarship. I was very thankful for that. Stephen did you do theatre there and that kind of stuff . I did. I was in the program. I was actually doing opera there. Stephen what i know. I studied my degree for voice. Stephen i didnt know you had pipes. I do sing. I do. In the morning, id wake up, and wed do, you know, movement and roll around on the floor for the Music History and music theory. And i was like i think i like the rolling around on the floor bit more. And so, i realized, you know, when i leave here, i think im going to be an actor. And thats what i pursued. And it was a tough road, but i think playing sports and the preparation of sometimes you win, sometimes you lose on any given sunday can be your day, really prepared me for being out here to pursue this. And iat because its been amazing. cheers and applause stephen well, orange is the new black is one of the shows that Everybody Loves to binge. Why do you think people relate so much to the women at Litchfield Penitentiary . Honestly, i think the women relate people relate to the women on the show because they find that they didnt think they would relate to them. You know, they come in and they think, im not going to have but then, when you see reds story you realize, oh, no, im a mom. I know what thats like. I know what its like to be somebodys daughter. I know what its like to lose. I know what its like to win. And so they find a piece of themselves in the story. Stephen i watch and i go, i am crazy eyes. Thats me. Stephen do we learn more about her story this time . Do we find out why shes in there . We do learn more about her backstory this season. Stephen its something innocuous, right, like jaywalking . Correct. Stephen check kiting. Littering. Stephen well still like her at the end of it. Exactly. Were going to understand a little bit more of the world she comes from. Stephen the show has become sort of a vehicle for like social commentary. Did you think that was what it was going to be when it started . I yeah, you know, when i started doing the show, the First Episode i read and i just loved it. I thought it was brilliant. I loved the characters so much. I thought they were so rich and alive. And, you know, youre watching the show thinking okay what is this going to be . Remember, i made it about a quarter of the way through, and i stopped reading because, you know, initially, i was like people who watch the show, they think, maybe i might not connect with these characters. But then when i started the second script and i was a quarter way through and i realized, oh, wait. This isnt a show about people in prison. This is about human stories. This is about people and their lives and their lives are so much more than their crime. And i then realized oh, this actually has something to say and could potentially do is amazing. Stephen did you go to any prisons in preparation for this . Did you meet prisoners or see what life was like . I didnt go in preparation for this. laughter would you rather i just did a stint . Stephen was it someone elses idea that you go to prison . laughter no. Stephen have you been since the show started . How about that . I have when i was a kid, we went to scared straight in my home town. Stephen oh, i remember that. Yes, its a real program. Stephen yeah, sure. Its a real program. And i mean if you come to my home town, my town is about this big. Stephen where are you from . Im from a small town called medfield, massachusetts, just outside of boston. Go, sox you could get killed in this town for saying that. Zero crime whatsoever. Stephen but they figured they need to scare you kids anyway . Lets terrify the children anyway. Exactly, exactly. But it worked. I really was scared. I was like i never want to do this. Stephen i understand that youre the child of immigrants. Yes. Stephen from nigeria . Yes. Stephen right . Does your family still stay connected to nigeria . Do you still speak the language where they grew up . We very much so are a very traditional nigerian family and kept the language. Stephen what is the language of nigeria . It is igbo. Stephen i can pronounce that. Yes, igbo. And, yeah, we had it in our house and we were a very traditional nigerian family.

Im deeply moved. Stephen i talked to a few. You got to have the vest. How many of those things do you go through . A flasher. I have about 120 ties, which i would wear without the vest, because they speak for themselves. Stephen sure. But i wear the vest, then i have to wear a neutral tie because otherwise its too much going on. Stephen too much neil. laughter so i got about a half dozen vests, but many more ties. Stephen lets talk about the astronomical phenomena that people are talking about this week, the strawberry moon was making news just yesterday. What the heck is that . And every moon of the year has a name in practically every culture. Stephen i know, like harvest moon. Or hunters moon. Theres a blue moon, theres a hunters moon, theres a snow moon. And you go through these stephen okay, what is technically, what is a blue moon . Blue moon did you just ask me do i know . Stephen because im guessing its not right there. Isnt that a pretty moon . Beautiful. The earth doesnt rotate. Stephen i understand. No, you dont understand. Stephen i want to show all sides of the story. I want to show all sides of the story. All sides of the story. Stephen i ask that. They arent scientific labels. Theyre folk labels. They come most from the days when we were agrarian. And so, snow moon, the wolf moon. Native americans were really big with that because they counted time by the cycle of the moons. So they had a whole full portfolio of moon names. A blue moon, traditionally, is the second full moon in a month. Because the average time between full moons is 29. 5 days. And if you just f
