11:06 pm
( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: welcome back, everybody. i hope everyone out there had a great holiday season. i don't know how you spent it, but statistically speaking, it was probably watching "star wars," because over the last couple weeks, millions of people went to see "the force awakens," pushing it's box office past "titanic." sorry, jack. you died for nothing. ( laughter ) "the force awakens" has a 93% certified fresh rating on rotten tomatoes. but i'm a catholic, so i get all my movie reviews from "l'osservatore romano," the official newspaper of the vatican. that's right, they have a newspaper. some stories are just too complicated to report through colored smoke. and "l'osservatore romano" was not impressed. just look at their headline:
11:07 pm
insulting or very delicious. "i'll have the veal sfocato, suffice to say, these guys-- and i assume they're guys-- were not "confused and hazy," even adding that the blockbuster "overdoes the darkness." the vatican-- and this is true-- gave a better review to "spotlight." i'm not joking. they were especially disappointed in "the force awaken's" villains, saying they fail "most spectacularly" in counterpart of darth vader, kylo ren, wears a mask merely to i didn't have a problem with the mask, but i was upset that, when he took it off, his hair was somehow perfectly fluffed. ( laughter ) how is that possible?
11:08 pm
dark side, sign me up! but i have to say, this review has me really torn. i'm caught in a crisis of faith between deeply held beliefs embedded in me since childhood and the catholic church. ( laughter ) ( applause ) so, before-- ( applause ) that's all right. you can applaud. you can applaud. so before you jump on them for not enjoying "star wars" as much as we did, let me defend my church by explaining why they might have issues with it. for one thing, it's the story of a savior, born in the desert, chosen to redeem mankind. that's copyright infringement. ( laughter ) you think god is vengeful? you should meet his lawyer, ira. now, it doesn't help that the original trilogy featured a father, a son, and a holy ghost. the catholic church might take issue with a bad guy who spends the entire movie trying to stab people with a cross.
11:09 pm
wars" and the catholic church have large followings of virgins. ( applause ) so get off their back. we'll be right back with killer mike. upon.

( cheers and applause ) killer mike thanks for being here. >> thank you. my wife put me on a diet, i lost four pounds and now i can't keep my pants up. >> stephen: thank you for wearing your formal sweats for us tonight. >> actually, these are formal. this is my p.t.a. meeting outfit. >> stephen: oh, really, when you have to go talk? >> exactly, when i have to go talk around other parents and you don't want to dress like, you know, a rapper. you put on a sweat suit that has a cardigan sweater. >> stephen: when you go meet your kids in elementary school, do the teachers go, "now, killer
11:12 pm
>> they say that after we discuss why my child is fighting. ( laughter ) >> stephen: could it have anything to do with your name, killer mike? >> it's the girls that are fighting. the boys are pretty good. >> stephen: girls can fight. it's a whole new world. >> yeah. >> stephen: why killer mike? >> i didn't name myself. i want to say it wasn't like some kid was standing in the mirror and decide he look like aid killer. i would have like bike bougati mike, or ferrari mike. i rapid as a kid and rapped really well and seven or eight other guys and stood on a desk and said, "that kid's a killer." and after that nobody ever called me skunk again in my life, just killer. >> stephen: killer, that's awesome. your original name is michael render. >> michael render is my name. >> stephen: that's a good name, too, mike render. like you're tearing the mike apart. >> and my daughter's name is michael render. >> stephen: your daughter's
11:13 pm
that's a pretty name for a girl. >> i think so. she's got to stop fighting. >> stephen: we all have to stop fighting. we all have to stop fighting. >> yes. >> stephen: as i said you're a civic leader. you're socially active. >> i am. >> stephen: hip-hop artist. >> i own barber shops. >> stephen: you do own barber shops. >> i'm part of a very good rap group called run the jewels. we're working on part three right now. >> stephen: it was just announced you guys are going to be included in coachella this year, right? >> back to back. >> stephen: that's fantastic. >> we are back. >> stephen: this year, if i can speak for all white people, ( laughter ) -- >> i prefer you speaking for all white people. >> stephen: another you speak for all black people, okay? >> today i do. >> stephen: okay. this year, tragically, a lot of people in the white community have found out about the life of african americans in ferguson, baltimore, north charleston, other places around the united states. do you think the awareness that has risen through these garage traj dees has changed anything,
11:14 pm
>> white people watching, google jane elliot, she has an experiment, the blue and brownide experiment. i encourage people to watch that, it will actually grow you. you no, back to stuff that will make you laugh. if white people are now just discovering that it's bad for black or working class people in america, they're a lot more blind than i thought and they're a lot more choosing to be ignorant than i thought. the same problems we're discussing today we discussed in 1990, 1980, 1970, and 1960. and until we call a spade a spade and this problem is coming from conditions we're creating or allowing to happen as a white group of people who hold a certain amount of power -- >> do you think there's a systemic attempt in the united states to isolate poor and minorities, to put them in communities that can be controlled? >> it's not an attempt at all. it's successful. if you look at daly and the highways in, which he built the highways to seg gailt people. there's no round-about way to do it. absolutely. >> stephen: again, speaking
11:15 pm
we-- what can we do to bridge the gap between the communities of color? should you-- you own barber shops. should white people start getting their hair cut at black barber shops? >> i hope so. >> stephen: because there are conversations going on at those barber shops that we're not part of. >> and white people pay $50 for hair cuts, so, absolutely. i would like that. i would like that. ( cheers and applause ) i speak at colleges often, and when i speak at black colleges, and i speak at white colleges, a slightly different message. the message they preach to white kids that are in tallahassee, atlanta, georgia tech, places like new york, is get outside the college environment, find a child who is marginal or doing exceptional in school who is a minority, doesn't look like you, not of the same religion, not of the same background, help that child matriculate into college. help them by being a big
11:16 pm
don't give them gifts and make yourself feel good, hey i bought teachers. what you're going to get out of that experience is another human being taking full advantage of an educational system that can help them in their community. but it grows you as a human being to have empathy for someone who didn't look like you and is culturally not from your background. >> stephen: speaking of cument rally, speaking of culturally-- we've only got a minute here. speaking of people not culturally from your background, you're feeling the bern. you like bernie sanders. >> i do. >> stephen: okay, as quickly as you can, tell me why you believe bernie is the man. >> dr. king in hills last two years of life talked about a poor people's campaign, organizing unions on behalf of poor workers, organizing against the war machine that was perpetuating violence in vietnam. berpy sanders is the only politician who has consistently for 50 years taken the social justice platform into politics. and right now we have an
11:17 pm
is directly out of the philosophy of kingian nonviolence. we can directly elect someone who cares about poor people, cares about women, gay, black rights. cares about lives that don't look like his help and this opportunity in history is not going to come in another 20 years, not going to come in another two years. ( cheers and applause ) if we do not take this opportunity right now, we're going to be sitting around a campfire mad because they've niewkd the world to hell, i'm afraid, you know. >> stephen: i hope that doesn't happen and i hope you come back. killer mike. stay right there. killer mike, everybody. run the jewels. among other things. barber shops. we'll be right back. dad, you can just drop me off right here. oh no, i'll take you up to the front of the school. that's where your friends are. seriously, it's, it's really fine. you don't want to be seen with your dad? no, it's..no.. this about a boy? dad! stop, please. o, there's tracy.

11:22 pm
and with 20 a.c.g.s and t.s you can program it to go wherever you want and cut d.n.a. >> stephen: in someone's body? >> yes, in gene therapy, in human cells. >> stephen: what you can do with it? how are humans being modified right now? can you give me wolverine claws? what-- >> yeah. >> stephen: what's being done right now with this? >> i think you're better off without them.

11:23 pm
where does it live? >> so it normally lives in bacteria, and it's been transplanted -- we and others turned into technology where it can now work in plant and animals and human cells. >> stephen: so you're taking, like, this d.n.a. from a little bacteria, and you're injecting it into plant and animals. doctor? >> hopefully, there will be lots of safety and efficacy testing. >> stephen: aren't you playing god or are you just ( laughter ) ( applause ) what is-- >> yeah. >> stephen: you must hear the "playing god" thing a lot, right? >> yeah, i think the-- we're not in that league at all. i mean, creating the universe in a couple of seconds, it's more like we're playing engineer or working at being engineers, procedures. >> stephen: can we grow organs now? could you use gene therapy to grow me a new organ?
11:24 pm
differentiate into very complicated tissue including brain and lungs and so forth. >> stephen: how long will i live now? i'm 51. is there a chance this gene therapy is going to extend my life or is it only for people being born now? >> yeah, i think-- well, we have demonstrations in animals at aging reversal. you can see a wide variety of >> what! >> where you can get blood vessels, skeletal, cardiac muscle and so forth -- >> give them to me. i have to cut a check, i bet. right? it's who you know. that's how you live forever, it's you who know. >> yup, now i know why i'm on the show. >> stephen: can you bring back the wolly mammoth? i would love to see one. i'd love a wooly steak. can we get one?

11:34 pm
>> reggie: ladies and gentlemen, all the way from antarctica, give it up for your host, the one, the only, james corden! (cheers and applause) >> james: ladies & gentlemen, good evening. thanks for being here! so airbnb is back in the news. you guys know airbnb, the online service where people can rent out their homes as a hotel alternative. well, they are getting a lot of attention for a recent incident
11:35 pm
take a look. >> i'm feeling duped today after running out of their home today on airbnb. >> she rented out her home to what she thought was an older man. it went to a teenager who threw a razor for his 18th birthday. >> really, you've done this to our home. >> james: i am so distracted by that man's fedora and scarf. did they tape this interview inside their home, or in a casino in 1993? this story is crazy, right? who would have thought renting out your home on the biggest party night of the year to a total stranger would have ended badly? airbnb's slogan should be "airbnb: you sure about this?" when the couple returned to their home, they found cigarette butts, broken beer bottles, and
11:36 pm
it's pretty serious if they file charges against the 18 year-old who did this, he could face up to a full year of "being the most popular badass in school.". i mean, the couple should have known it was a scam. who wants to vacation in oakland? i have been to oakland. have you been to oakland? the average resident looks like this: (laughter) you laugh. that man's a pediatrician. it seems as if airbnb is getting weirder and weirder. apparently, there is a new trend of college students using airbnb to rent out their dorm rooms. with one college student in new york city even renting out his dorm room for $80 a night. i know. it used to be that a sock on the door meant your roommate was getting some action.
11:37 pm
are visiting from iowa. (laughter) instead of room service, the guy across the hall will give you half of his hot pocket if you agree to listen to him play "crash" by dave matthews on his guitar. you've got 'cher -hold on a second. you've got 'cher -one second. you've -- you've -- you've got -- but if you are really looking for that college experience, there is a new service called winston club that will help you find a roommate to split a hotel room with you when you are traveling. waking up with a stranger in your hotel room isn't just a nightmare anymore. now it's also an app! the site says that while the main appeal is saving money, many members join to "make friends or meet a new travel companion." okay, travel companions are not a thing. nobody has ever had this
11:38 pm
"hi, i'm tim, and this is my travel companion, roger." what type of person is in the market for a 'travel companion'? "i'm in a rough financial spot and hiding my sexuality. one membership to the winston club, please." i'm sure the people who founded the winston club are thinking to themselves, "how has no one ever thought of this before?" then in the next two months they are going to be like, "oh that's why the murders." (cheers and applause) shall we see who our guests are tonight? in the blue room, she's a talented actor we've fallen in love with over seven seasons of her hit show "modern family." the gorgeous sarah hyland! (cheers and applause) hi, sarah, how are you? >> good.

(cheers and applause) >> james: in the red room, he's a golden globe and screen actors guild award nominee for his breakout performance in "mr. robot.". we're so happy he's here! rami malek is here tonight, everybody! (cheers and applause) are you good? >> i'm great. >> james: good to see you. we're such huge fans of you and your show here on the "the late late show," we really are. >> i was a huge fan, too, until i realized i didn't get any sandwiches.
11:40 pm
you did get full working electricity. >> all i got was a mug. >> james: well, go to sarah's room now and steal a sandwich. >> i'm kidding. i have the sandwiches. >> james: oh, you! i could go to sarah's room and have sandwiches, too. >> james: okay. two young actors eating sandwiches, drunk before a show, what could possibly go wrong? rami malek's here tonight! (cheers and applause) in the orange room, he's an emmy-nominated actor you know from "30 rock," "drunk history," and "talladega nights.". the adorable jack mcbrayer! hey, jack! how are ya! >> how you doing? >> james: nice to see you! how's it going? there it is, enjoy the smile! jack mcbrayer, everybody! reggie, are you ready? he's reggie watts, i'm james corden

(laughter) i don't have tv. >> james: you know you're on tv now. >> yeah, i'm on it sphoo you're on it, you just don't want it? >> i just don't have it. >> james: i'm on it, i don't want it. that should be your catch phrase -- i'm reggie watts, i'm on it, i don't want it. (laughter) for whatever vehicle, mode of transport. yeah, i'm on it, i don't want it. any drug, i'm on it, i don't want it. absolutely perfect. ha gar, guillermole?

(band playing) (cheers and applause) >> james: okay, tonight i learned you can stay on fire for a really long time.
11:44 pm
i'm on fire! (laughter) >> james: when they say "stop, drop and roll," they don't mean "into" the fire. (laughter) it means roll away from the fire! tonight i learned, the best part of weddings is always the cake. (cheering) (laughter) so when did your marriage start going wrong?
11:45 pm
moving on, tonight i learned the secret to cheerleading is to put your back into it. (laughter) how far can you get back, reg? >> pretty far. >> james: let me see. oh, wow! you're totally doing it! (cheers and applause) that was enough to make me almost scream like those girls! next up, tonight i learned why my aunt barbara isn't losing weight at the gym.

,,,, (band playing) (cheers and applause) >> james: pop culture is cyclical. things go out of fashion, things come back into fashion. that's why we play this next game. this is "kick it out, bring it back." (band playing) >> james: the holidays are over, but the real struggle is just beginning. that's why we're kicking out gift cards. don't be shocked. i mean, gift cards -- really? you're giving me a gift card for christmas? why don't you just wrap up a big pile of "i don't know you" and
11:50 pm
what you think you're saying is "hey, get yourself something nice." but what you're really saying is "hey, i forgot to get you a present so i bought this at the grocery store on the way to this party." do me a favor, next time just get me nothing. gift cards are a burden. you use them once, and then they always have some weird, un-spendable amount of money left on them. you know what i have in my wallet? my drivers license, a picture of my kids and 28 starbucks gift cards collectively worth about $1.45. gift cards, you're kicked out!

merry christmas. let's just get to the money, alright?!" and that's when you would flip that card open to reveal the crispest, flattest $10 bill you've ever seen in your life. did anyone have a problem with that? of course they didn't. cash is a gift card for literally everywhere. it works at starbucks and target. it works at the mall and the hospital. guess what? cash is the only gift card my drug dealer accepts, and if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me and it's damn sure good enough for christmas. the gift of cash, we're bringing you back!

membership deals. okay? (cheers and applause) thank you! listen up, gyms, don't act like you're doing me a favor by giving me an amazing deal. $15 a month? that's not enough money to make me go to the gym. all you're doing with your low, low prices is ensuring that i never set foot on a treadmill for the rest of my life. you actually want me to go to the gym? charge me $500 a month. i'll stick to my new year's resolution, because i can't afford not to, and i'll lose weight twice as fast, because i also can't afford food. if you want your personal trainer to kick my butt, tell him to aim for my back right pocket because that's where my because i have 28 starbucks gift cards in there. new years gym membership deals. you're kicked out!

(cheers and applause) you know what i'm talking about. they did it with harry potter, and they're going to do it to the avengers. we all see what's going on here. hollywood, you're acting like "oh, we couldn't possibly fit all this story into one tiny movie.". and if that's the case, just give us one long movie. i'll sit through it, because that way i'll only have to buy one movie ticket, i only have to find one parking spot, i only
