>> welcome to the report begun everybody. please. thank you for joining ounce this beautiful evening. if you are a longtime viewer of this show you know i warned you about the dangers of secret muslims lurking all around us. i'm on to you al-obama. that why i admire minnesota congresswoman and amateur hip know tift michele bachmann for her brave attempt to root out muslim extremists from our government. this past june, she and along with fellow republicans, a group often referred to as the mensa of congress -- [ laughter ] -- sent a letter to the executive branch alleging that recent executive governmental decision appeared to be a result of influence operations conducted by individuals associated with the muslim brotherhood.

in other words: muslims have infiltrating our government. did you know that the cafeteria serves crescent rolls? that is nothing more than warm buttery jihad. [ laughter ] now, folks, these accusations caused a firestorm because one of the suspected infiltrators is wife of former underwear model anthony wiener, top aide to hillary clinton and admitted muslim. [ laughter ] now, these charges were made without evidence and denounced by republicans john boehner, lindsey graham and john mccain who took to the floor of senate and called her accusations specious and degrading but former speaker and current not going to be president newt gingrich defending bachmann on the cnn.

>> to start raising the issues of mccartyism. >> first of all there were real spies. >> a lot of innocent people who suffered. >> and a lot of guilty people who would have never been uncovered if people didn't have the courage to take them on. >> stephen: yes, it takes a brave noon accuse someone of something without evidence and demand they refute the evidence you don't v. tonight i'm accusing newt gingrich of being a baby eating werewolf. [cheers and applause] there it is. it's out there now. do i have evidence, no but someone has to stand up to him. [ laughter ] where do i find the courage? [ laughter ] sadly bachmann's biggest critic is fellow minnesotaan keith

ellisson who -- surprise surprise is the nation's first muslim congressman. who kind of people would elect someone like that to congress. let's find out in the 67th installment of my series better know a district. tonight minnesota's fiveth. the fightin' fifth! the fifth district made history back in 1855 when they opened the hennepin avenue bridge, the first bridge that allowed eastbound travelers to cross the mississippi or if they were headed west the ippississim. the cities are new hope which is superior to neighboring cities attack of the clones, wisconsin. the fifth contains the walker art center which featured the

boonbridge and cherry sculpture, a testament to the city's love of art as wells a realistic depiction of midwestern portion sizes. [ laughter ] and it's home to pop imp prince with amazing fans with his ability to viefer minnesota winters in ass-less pants. who has the mini apples to represent minneapolis? none other than three term congressman ellisson. thank you for talking to me today. >> pleased to meet you. >> stephen: tell me about the fightin' fifth. >> it's a great place. proud to represent minneapolis. >> stephen: that's in canada, correct? >> it's minnesota. >> stephen: i think it's manitoba. >> no.

also no weapons of mass destruction in iraq. >> that's true. >> stephen: that worked out. >> not really. >> stephen: i'm just saying a little witch hunt never hurt anyone. >> hurts a lot of people. >> stephen: isn't it better to be safe han muslim? >> better to be fair. >> stephen: we'll disagree on that. let's talk about the current political spotlight. we're on tv but i'm putting you on the spot here. romney and obama. >> obama. >> stephen: very important decision. one more thought? >> obama. >> stephen: two out of three. if you say romney obama still wins. >> still going with obama. >> stephen: any chance. secret ballot. >> no way. >> stephen: i won't tell anybody. turn the camera off. >> no. >> stephen: really. if mitt romney called you up tonight and said i want to you

be my vice president would you take it? >> no, sir. >> stephen: you say that now but when the phonecall comes you don't know what is going to happen. >> yes, i do. >> stephen: let's role play right now. okay. ring, ring. ring, ring. >> hello. >> stephen: please hold for governor romney. ♪ keith. >> how are you doing, sir? >> stephen: keith, ha, ha, ha. now then, keith. you know i'm running for president of the united states? >> yes, sir. >> stephen: well, it's been made clear to me that i need a vice presidential candidate and i was hoping that you would be mine. >> no, sir, i'm sorry. i can't do it. >> stephen: keith, i'm very excited thank you. we're going be a great team.

her smile ♪ ♪ who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it worthwhile it's you keith and you should know it ♪ love is all around no need to waste it -- jump in you can have a town why don't you. >> take it. ♪ you're gonna make it after all ♪ you're gonna make it after all >> you're good. >> stephen: congressman, thank you so much for talking to me today. >> absolutely. >> stephen: would you mind throwing this hat in the air. >> just throw it up? [cheers and applause] >> stephen: let's put minnesota's fifth up on the big board. oh, it's august 9 so that must be minnesota's first snow. we'll be right back. [ male announcer ] drive a car filled with

>> stephen: welcome back, everybody. folks -- thank you. [cheers and applause] >> stephen: folks, you know, i've longed been recognized as a pioneer. i even pioneered recognizing myself as a pioneer. anybody else who noticed my greatness is a lazy fraud who i thank from the bottom of my heart. you are the reason i do this. this ises who honoring me now. [cheers and applause] tonight long overdue recognition of my influence comes from a joint teach of psychology researchers out of canada and new zealand. makes sense after all what is new zealand but the canada of australia? they even have mounties. [ laughter ] in a study pub lished in the

psychonomic bullet ten and review -- i read it for the pornography -- scientists look for truthiness which regular viewers know is the truth you feel in your gut regardless of what the facts support. it's just a little world changing concept i tossed off on my first show in 2005. evidently new zealand's time zone is seven years behind. in this study of my idea researchers showed people a series of claims such as the liquid metal inside a thermometer is magnesium and asked them to agree or disagree that each claim was true. everyone knows the metal in the thermometer is not magnesium. one taste and you know it's made of dancing light and liquid time. [ laughter ] however, when a deck active

photograph such as a picture of a thermometer appeared with the claim, people were more likely to agree that the claim was true regardless of whether it was actually true. that makes sense. i don't believe a thing in books that only have words like the dictionary but i know that caterpillar is hungry because he ate right through the pictures. thank you. my only problem -- [ applause ] my only problem with this scientific study is that it was a scientific study. [ laughter ] truthiness and empire cl evidence don't mix. it's like putting metal in the microwave. they take vengeance by spitting fire and voiding my warranty. you can't prove truthiness with information. you prove truthiness with more truthiness. in a process known as

truthiness-iness. but ultimately in the end i trust this study for one important reason: it came with a picture of me. and that is all the evidence i will every need. we'll be right back. [cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause] >> stephen: he will thank you very much. welcome back, everybody. my guest tonight is a celebrated movie star who is now moving on to the theater. a few more years and you might work his way down to waiter. please welcome woody harrelson.

[ laughter ] all right. moving on. okay, all right. sir -- >> ah. >> stephen: everybody knows you are a celebrated actor, right? >> thank you for saying that. >> stephen: you are a celebrated actor, emmy winner, multiple oscar nominee and you are a director. and now, and this is the part that gets me, now you have written a play. okay which is off broadway now it's at the new world stage called bullet for adolf. >> yes. >> stephen: is that a sequel to the sound music?

heard that you do not like air conditioning. >> no, i don't, i -- >> stephen: why don't you like air conditioning wood woodrow? >> i try to avoid it at all costs. i feel like it makes me unhealthy. i like to go with the ambient temperature. i noticed you have a little bit of ac going on. >> stephen: yes, yes, i like to keep it so cold, can i cut diamonds with the audiences nipples. okay? are you sure you don't want to talk about this play because it's fascinating. you have a friend here named franky you hung out with him 30 years ago. >> i met him in the summer of 1983 and this play concerns that summer. >> stephen: you knew him almost 30 years ago. you hung out one summer? >> that was when we met. we had an incredible summer. became such a good friend.

you know, i last we had a few phonecalls and he left houston. i couldn't find him. >> stephen: and then you went on leno. >> i asked if anybody knew him. ten years later desperate to find him. if anybody knows him have him get in touch. his brother was watching and we were hanging and talking to him about this idea for a play. well, there was no plot that summer but the characters were fascinating and i thought it would be great. i didn't want to mention it. >> stephen: you wenten to leno to find somebody. you know about facebook, right? you can just google people. >> this is 1993 so i i believe t was prefacebook. >> stephen: he had rough time in the period between hanging out and you found him. you helped him go through rehab and that sort of thing.

>> yeah, yeah. >> stephen: you are not the greatest drug rehab model, you realize that? >> this may be a weird place to announce it but i have quit everything, yeah. [cheers and applause] >> stephen: really. good on you. good for you. absolutely. good. so you don't -- no more of the doobie. >> i mean i haven't had anything since this morning. been going extraordinarily well. >> stephen: really no shakes or anything at this point. >> well, a little bit. yeah, a little. i got you a shirt. you gave me this cool hat. it's a little bit of a schwag. it has a logo bullet braid off. i we are it over here. it's a little bit fitted but -- >> stephen: yeah, that's

great. yeah. the play is called bullets for adolf. woody harrelson playing now at the new world station. go see it. we'll re bite

so anyway, i've been to a lot of places. you know, i've helped a lot of people save a lot of money. but today...( sfx: loud noise of large metal object hitting the ground) things have been a little strange. (sfx: sound of piano smashing) roadrunner: meep meep. meep meep? (sfx: loud thud sound) what a strange place. geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

[screaming] colla! alright, knock it off. do you love our new set? the answer is yes. a lot of you sent in your own ideas which were ignored because

you guys have awful ideas. john from cincinnati thinks we should broadcast from his living room. not until you get bamboo floors, my friend. someone else said use the talk soup set since our show is already a rip off of that. that's not funny. just because i was born in germany does not mean i think that set is appropriate. helltrack from the movie rad. that would be a pretty sweet set. hello! i don't want to perform while i'm constantly being aroused, so unfortunately this is a no, as well. i'm sticking with the modern dojo theme. today on the show. hide your kids, hide your wife, cause antoine dodson is here i show you how i play angry birds and you get to see what i did over the break. now, let's see that guy get his eyeball shot out again. >> this better not hit? >> he
