Monologue
Stephen has some news for us from the White House. In a recent interview with GQ Magazine, Mr. Obama claims that he loves Game of Thrones, but he has trouble remembering the names of the characters. Luckily, we have Stephen who can easily rattled off the difficult names. The only character that the President can remember is Jon Snow, because he can pronounce that name.
- Nobody, in all of Game of Thrones, has a stranger name than Barack Obama.
Hungry For Power Games: May The Branch Be Ever In Your Face
Governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, is the latest to drop out of the 2016 GOP Presidential Race. Jindal never got out of single digits in the polls.
- He started with such promise. This tribute’s star has been rising ever since 2013, when he shared his vision for transforming his beloved Republican Party.
Bobby Jindal: “It’s no secret we had a number of Republicans that damaged the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. I’m here to say, ‘We’ve had enough of that.’”
Apparently not. Because offensive and bizarre are in first and second place.
Stephen reminds us of how Jindal announced his candidacy from a video recorder behind a tree limb. Jindal has not been a fan of Trump’s shenanigans and clips are shown of Jindal taking about Trump’s politics, while a tree branch obstructs Jindal’s face.
- I can see why voters were turned off by Bobby Jindal. That tree branch is less wooden than he is.
- This must be tough for Jindal’s base or whatever you call polling at 0.3%.
Stephen reaches under his desk and pulls out what appears to be a calculator. He starts crunching the numbers.
0.3% – Now to put that into perspective, that is…doesn’t matter, this is a Pop-Tart.
Interview – Sharon Stone
Colbert: How do you get the confidence? I’m 51 and won’t let anyone see me without socks on. I have old man ankles. You don’t seem to be phased at all. You’re all the way nude here. [In a recent photo for Harper’s Bazaar]
Stone: I do have a necklace on! […] The key to happiness is to first accept yourself. By the time you’re in your 50’s you gotta like it. Then what? I think if you’re gonna like others you’ve got to like yourself.
Colbert: There’s a lot to like there.
Interview – Justin Theroux
Stephen complimented Justin Theroux on being one of the writers of Tropic Thunder, a movie that made Stephen laugh so hard, that his family thought he might need help! Justin returned the compliment by telling Stephen that he was a big fan of Strangers With Candy.
Theroux: We have a lot of lingering shots where you’re trying to tell the story through your eyes. […] There are many ways to do the anguish and the different versions of the pain that these people are in. I think a lot of us on the show [The Leftovers] do the same thing, where you’re having to tell the story with your face.
Colbert: But not everyone has your eyebrows. I’ve been known to act with my eyebrows, as well. Could I challenge you to an eyebrow acting contest?
Theroux: I accept that challenge.
Colbert: What if all the people missing on The Leftovers just all went to the bathroom at the same time?
Theroux: At what point does a flatbread become a pizza?
James Taylor – “Montana”
- My next guest is a five time Grammy Award winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and at the end of this month, he will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
James Taylor Has Updated “Fire And Rain”
James Taylor wrote “Fire and Rain” in 1970. He is still working on it after all of these years, because he keeps seeing new things. In this ever-changing world, James is keeping up with the times! So, Stephen joins in to sing with James on an updated version of “Fire and Rain.”
“Once I looked down and saw some sneakers That had wheels built in the heel I’ve seen grandmas reading ’50 Shade of Grey’ I’ve seen rainbow suspenders And a Taco Bell forth meal
And gluten-free brown sugar Special K”
