(crowd chanting stephen) thank you up there, down there! all of you watching the tv! thank you so much. everybody! i'm stephen colbert. sounds like you people could clap like that all night! (cheers and applause) is everybody excited for the oscars this weekend? you guys going to watch it?

i think some just screamed no. they are this sunday, at 8:30 eastern, which means the pre-show began an hour ago. i love having an oscar viewing party every year. i serve the leftover chili from my super bowl party and the candy from my valentine's trick or treating. no one expects that. (laughter) and i know a lot of people have oscar parties, so i thought i would share some tips on how to make yours great. (cheers and applause) people love tips. here's the first tip. first, don't make the same mistakes the academy did. be sure you have a diverse guest list. (applause) >> jon: yeah, you've got to have some diversity. >> stephen: do what you can. >> jon: got to have it. >> stephen: if all your friends are white, you are a racist. fix that by sunday. (cheers and applause) also, start your party early.

the fun, and you do not want to miss out when bryan cranston flashes some side-boob. (applause) tasteful, but racy. if you are in the movie business but were snubbed by the oscars, don't worry, you've still got two days to make the "in memoriam" reel. how bad do you want it? (applause) how bad do you want it? (audience reacts) (laughter) here is another way to spice up your oscars: live tweeting. everybody does it now, but if you're on the iphone the whole time, you won't get to enjoy the ceremony. easy solution: just write your live tweets ahead of time! you can predict what is going to happen. i'm doing mine right now. just to get them out of the way. okay, here we go. number bun. ker -- number one.

cumberbatch in a cumberbund. that's a doublecumber! #cumberblessed." (laughter) "it's been two hours and we haven't seen the accountants yet! show us the accountants! #ernstandyum!" (laughter) "ouch! not a good night to announce an all-white remake of 'amistad'! #oscarbuzz." (laughter) oh, oh -- ( band playing ) i just want to thank my guests tonight, from "madam secretary," tim daly! (cheers and applause) tim, i love you. i want to thank music legend thank you for being there

and i also want to thank grammy award winner jason isbell, who's doing a performance! (cheers and applause) i also want to thank the band for playing me off! let's hear it for jon batiste and stay human! (cheers and applause) and they told me not to get political, but it is time to allow snowglobes on airplanes. (cheers and applause) >> announcer: tonight... stephen welcomes timr daly!i graham nash! and a musical performance by jason_ isbell!

human"! and now it's time for "the late show" with stephen colbert! (cheers and applause) >> stephen: oh, hey! hey! (cheers and applause) thank you so much, everybody! (cheers and applause)xd thankh2=u1 jon! thank you, band! thanks,xd everybody in here, out there! thank you, mark! (cheers and applause) thanks, everybody! you know, if i'm not mistaken, thisi is our 100th show, right? (cheers and applause) 100 shows tonight.

staff, i want to thank the band for being here. i want to thank the audience, everybody who works so hard on the show every night. even after all this time, it is hard, some nights, to decide what i should talk about. there is so much going on. should i talk about the fight over the supreme court vacancy or the birth of the boston zoo's new baby goat? oh, my god, he is adorable. (laughter) senate, confirm his nomination. (laughter) fortunately, i don't have to decide what to cover because, tonight, i am relinquishing total editorial control to the... >> audience: wheel! of! news! >> stephen: here's how this works. we have installed a giant spinning wheel on the ceiling of the ed sullivan theater with categories like "entertainment,"

"potpourri." it is an actual physical wheel bolted to the ceiling weighing 17,000 pounds. it could snap off at any second and crush everyone in the balcony-- that is why the tickets are free. (cheers and applause) but you will make it into the in me more yum reel. (laughter) when i pull this lever, the wheel spins, then i talk about whatever category it lands on. long time "wheel of news" viewers know that the first time we spun this thing there was a slight problem in that i did not give my team enough time to work on it. so i had my scenic, brendan, come out from under my desk and spin a smaller wheel. but great news, this week, i was generous and gave my team barely enough time to make the spinning wheel.

(cheers and applause) ( cheers and applause ) "product recall!" you really have to feign interest in the subject quick than that. (laughter) earlier this week, the mars 55 countries when it was found red plastic in her just like the slogan: "hungry? because you could choke on shards of plastic. (laughter) this discovery left the woman feeling a combination of "hungry" and "angry" that snickers likes to call "litigious." (laughter) pop a wheelie! ( wheel clicking ) ( cheers and applause ) "politics!" (cheers and applause) according to the "wall street journal," donald trump's campaign might be destroying marriages, which is shocking. up till now, all trump was destroying is the republican party. (cheers and applause)

causing husbands and wives to argue until they're orange in the face. (laughter) one couple disagrees so strongly that they've instituted a rule: when trump comes on the tv, they switch to the national geographic channel because, when you're married, turning off the tv is not an option. (laughter) let's spin! ( wheel clicking ) ( cheers and applause ) 5000! i won 5000! ( "price is right" theme ) i can't wait to find out of what. spin city! ( wheel clicking ) ( cheers and applause ) "a recent study!" (cheers and applause) according to a recent study, both men and women agree that, before settling down with one person, ten is the ideal number of lovers to have, and it should

there. (laughter) the poll found that those who have had more than ten sexual partners were considered to be promiscuous, while having less than ten would be considered "sexually inexperienced." hmm... less than ten makes you inexperienced and more than ten makes you promiscuous. i guess that means that i am... moving on. (cheers and applause) ( wheel clicking ) "clip without context!" (cheers and applause) jim? >> i am very tired. (laughter) >> stephen: more than ten lovers! to the spin zone! ( wheel clicking ) ( cheers and applause )

hmmm... an "e!" (ding) huh, i am going to say... the "lake show?" (buzzer) oh, shoot, what did i wager? damn it! next subject. ( "price is right" losing. sound ) okay, next topic. ( wheel clicking ) ( cheers and applause ) "three-second drum solo!" (drum solo) (cheers and applause) ( wheel clicking ) ( cheers and applause ) "mars!" (cheers and applause) you're getting tired. (laughter) nasa researchers are working on a new propulsion system that would allow a spacecraft to reach mars in three days, which means future astronauts won't have to waste all that time in transit before dying alone on mars. (cheers and applause)

( wheel clicking ) "where's brendan?" (cheers and applause) great question, wheel. he's still under my desk. say hi to brendan, everyone! he's right here! (cheers and applause) >> yeah. >> stephen: that took a little while for you to get up here. a little cramped down there? >> pins and needles. >> stephen: any feelings in your legs? >> no. >> stephen: i need you to get back down there. say goodbye to brendan, everybody! (cheers and applause) here we go! ( wheel clicking ) ( cheers and applause ) another "recent study!" (cheers and applause) a recent study from the university of konstanz in germany found that eating in the dark can help you lose weight. makes sense. in the dark, there is no way to tell whether you are eating a

no whammies! ( wheel clicking ) ( cheers and applause ) "tennis balls!" (cheers and applause) oh! here we go! "sports!" (cheers and applause) america's pastime! other than tonight's sport: soccer. fifa, the international soccer and bribe-taking organization, is ready to elect a new president. last year, a corruption scandal ended the career of former fifa president and gastrointestinal

(laughter) sounds like an unusual name until you find out that "sepp" with two ps is actually short for seppp with three ps. (laughter) and sepp blatter will be a tough name to lose, but, fortunately, two of the candidates to replace him are named jerome champagne and tokyo sexwale. (laughter) (applause) both real human names and things you can buy out of vending machines in japan. (laughter) personally, it takes me a couple jerome champagnes before i'm ready for the tokyo sexwale. (laughter) (applause) fewer than ten! (laughter)

but i've got my eye on some other promising fifa candidates: okinawa humpdolphin, fluppp bowelsore, johnny t. chandelier, barchibald timecop, sheikh gogurt montoya, kruss snackwagon, admiral flintstone jetson, the cincinnatti hangman. shamwow chia-pet, montgomery no-scruples, swipe bribetaker and the amazing corrupto. (cheers and applause) wheel me! ( wheel clicking ) yay! commercial break! (cheers and applause) we'll be right back with tim daly. stick around! let's do it!

(cheers and applause) >> a little token. >> stephen: it's not going to have a spring-loaded snake, is

it's a rubrics cube of me. >> stephen: a tim daly rubrics cube? >> yeah. don't ask where it came from. it's a me cube. >> stephen: all right. if you will look closely, there is one panel that's eric stoltz and a little bit of brat pack in there. >> stephen: is this on different days you can go, i'm really feeling more like this today? >> exactly. >> stephen: it's not i'm feeling myself today. that's really how i feel. >> now, see, that is a complex emotion right there being represented. >> stephen: but you're an actor. you can represent this kind of complex emotion. >> don't ask me to do it now. >> stephen: but you're from a family of actors. >> yes. >> stephen: your father was on medical center. >> yes. >> stephen: and your sister is tyne daly which everybody loves. if you had decided to do something other than being an actor would your family have gone with that? >> i don't think so.

that says it's a congenital disease that's passed through the generations. >> stephen: an addiction. yes. tyne is an actor, both my children are actors. so i wasn't encouraged. it's an odd thing. it's like growing up in a strange cult. what i remember most about it is when i was in the second or third grade play the other kids would be surrounded by their parents and grandparents and everybody would be saying, oh, you were the best one, you were adorable! and i would get notes, literally, like, okay, so, if you hold your line about poppyx$$*qq" cakes till you cross to the tree, i think you will get a_ laugh. (laughter) you know, so it was work. youngest in the family? >> i am the youngest. >> stephen: that's another reason to be a performer because you already had an audience. >> sort of, yeah. although, i have to say, i have three sisters and they're all quite a bit older than i am, so i was more like a laboratory test animal. >> stephen: they would dress

>> dress me up, paint me. one particular story they thought was hilarious, my father at one point fans idea himself a farmer and we had sheep and tha one lamb had projectilei diarrhea -- (audience reacts) i know, bad story. they sent me to feed it and i came back covered in poop, which they thought was hilarious. >> stephen: mary had a little lamb, flce not that snowy white... >> yes, mary had a little brown lamb and it was me. (laughter)e@&c other skills than actingi because some actors if you dropped them in a different culture, people would go cannibal on them because they have nothing to offer, like me, i have nothing to offer. do you have any real-world skills? >> i used to have some. i went to college for about nine days -- >> stephen: finished that fast, eh? >> yeah, office genius. no, i quit, i wasn't quite ready to.

collar period where i learned various things. i learned carpentry. i met a friend in mexico who called himself el primo. >> stephen: he wasn't describing the stuff he was trying to sell you snonchts, i don't think so. although, he sold floor tile, and i think he had a deal with the border guards because he sold us a tremendous amount of floor tile and we started a tile company that we called the silver dollar tile company. >> stephen: really? yes! and we had, like, 50,000 square feet of floor tile in los angeles in my father's garage and we would put down these tile floors and put a silver dollar in the corner of every floor we put down and we used up all the tile and went away. >> stephen: what did you do with the money you made from laying the tile? >> we bought_ el primo. (laughter) >> stephen: i wouldn't with

the house and ground it up and sold it on the street. >> who knows what was with the border guards and what was coming over in the floor tiles, anyway. >> stephen: national security. mm-hmm. >> stephen: "madam secretary." mm-hmm. >> stephen: you are the husband of teea leoni who plays secretary of state and you have an unusual role on television, you are married to a powerful woman and you yourself are not a jerk or a basket case. >> how about that. >> stephen: why do you think that'sr_ so unusual to play a capable man married to a powerful woman? >> it's interesting. i think there is a tradition in television which starts with the honeymooners of an incompetent boob who is a wild dreamer who has a hot and down-to-earth wife who wrangles him and gets him through the day, and a lot of men come up to me and says, thank god you're playing a guy who, when the wife leaves the

>> stephen: are you competent in real life when you're by yourself, taking care of the kids? >> i'm very competent. >> stephen: really? i've reached a level of mediocrity in so many things that i'm able to function quite well. >> stephen: not so bad, really! (applause) >> yeah! >> stephen: some days are like this, some days are like this. i'm happy with that. exactly. madeline albright, actual secretary of state was on the show. do you hang out at all like she? >> she's actually -- i refer to h her as my white house accordance dinner girlfriend because i met her at a very heavy table with colin powell and michael bloomberg and captain_ phillips who was pirates -- no.

pretty sure. madeline and i hit it off. >> stephen: you sure did. i didn't go to "maddie." we met and she said, pete andxd violet on private practice what are they doing? i said, wait a minute, you're solving geopolitical crises every day and you watch private practice and know my character's names? everybody has their shows. >> stephen: yeah. how many,ix partners have you had? (cheers and applause) we're doing a survey. i was just curious. more than ten, less than ten or goldilocks? >> ten. >> stephen: you're a perfect man! (cheers and applause) "madam secretary" airs sunday at 8:00 on cbs! thanks, everybody! (cheers and applause)xd way?
