jack squat! plus, stephen welcomes josh gad! and betty gilpin! featuring louis cato and "the late show" band. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert! ♪ ♪ >> stephen: we're back! ♪ ♪ thank you, friends. thank you. welcome. welcome to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. ladies and gentlemen, thank you for that burst of joy. i ovulated. [laughter]

you had to be here. we're less than a week away from trump's inauguration. [booing] i know. i know. as much as i'm not looking forward to it, waiting for it, it feels so tense. it feels like we're all james bond strapped to the table, and the laser is slowly inching towards our crotch, and it's like, enough about your evil plot to conquer greenland, just zap america's junk off already! we're learning more about what the inauguration festivities ill look like. because we now know that the village people will perform at one of trump's inaugural balls. leading many to ask, "y?" [applause] this is a big change of heart for the village people, given that in 2020, they demanded trump stop using their music. which is understandable, considering that every time he played it, he did the wrong dance! it's "y.m.c.a." not

"milk the gorillas!" [applause] they're mammals they're mammals. evidently, the band is trying to go in a new direction, and that direction is toward money. because a few weeks ago? a few weeks ago, lead singer victor willis posted that he "will sue every news organization that falsely refers to "y.m.c.a." as a gay anthem. this must stop because it is damaging to the song." yes, for once and for all, ladies and gentlemen, "y.m.c.a." is not gay! where did that even come from? it's off of the famously straight actual village people album "cruisin'," packed with hetero hits like "hot cop," "my roommate," and simply "i'm a cruiser." in anticipation of the inauguration, high, anti-scale fencing is being placed

around the capitol. it's the most fencing ever put up for an inauguration, 30 miles. you know what? i owe him an apology. he did build the wall. [applause] it's only fair. i am a big enough man. for those who've forgotten why the fencing might be necessary, this morning, the doj released special prosecutor jack smith's final report on trump's january 6th election interference. boom! when people find out what trump did, his chances of being re-elected two months ago are gonna be pretty slim! okay? the report has a bold claim. smith says if donald rump hadn't won the presidential election in november, the justice department would have had ample evidence to convict him at trial. it's all true, and you can see it dramatized in the new marvel series "what if? anything mattered anymore."

but despite enough evidence for a conviction, smith can't move ahead with his case, because justice department regulations prohibit the prosecution of a sitting president. which is obviously insane. a president should be bound by the same laws as everyone else. [cheers and applause] thank you. thank you, citizen. that's what makes them a president and not a king. that and the lack of inbreeding. oh, no! i'm sorry. spoke too soon. unfortunately, this may be the last we hear from the special counsel, because over the weekend, jack smith resigned. now, despite the threats, he can't go into witness protection, because no one can think of a more generic name than jack smith. um, another looming sign of the

trump administration is that today, the senate held confirmation hearings for secretary of defense nominee and male stripper asking if you want to see his yankee doodle, pete hegseth. now, you might remember hegseth from his rather thin dossier of qualifications to run the most powerful military and single largest workforce in the world. there's his stint as co-host of "fox & friends weekend," and the allegations of excessive drinking after work and at work, otherwise known as "always." hegseth's hearing today was mostly him bobbing and weaving to avoid admitting things we already know about him, like his statement that female service members shouldn't have combat roles, as well as horrific allegations of sexual assault, and the fact that his own mom wrote him a letter that read, in part, "i have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. you are that man." that is devastating.

that is the most devastating burn. "oh, you think you can run the military? that's not what your mom said last night!" yeah, yes. seriously, she dropped off this letter. it's pretty upsetting. that mother's letter led to a fiery exchange with democratic senator tim kaine, so republican senator markwayne mullin jumped in and went after kaine. >> how many senators have shown up drunk to vote at night? and then how many senators do you know have got a divorce for cheating on their wives? did you ask them to step down? no. but it's for show. and you want to sit there and say that he is not qualified? give me a joke. >> stephen: i got one! a drunk, a cheating husband, and an accused sexual predator walk into a bar. and the bartender says, "table for one, mr. hegseth?"

[cheering] thank you. 2025 is bringing a lot of difficult changes to the country that we all love. for instance, at the end of the month, starbucks will start making customers pay if they want to use the bathroom. what do you mean "start" making them pay? whenever you walk into a starbucks bathroom, you pay a heavy price. no amount of cake pops could ever remove the memory. the rule changes come from new starbucks ceo and man with venti triple-shot jaw, brian niccol. niccol is an experienced fast casual food-trepreneur, because he was formerly chipotle's ceo. clearly, niccol has one passion in business: any place people are desperate for a bathroom. starbucks, they're rolling out other changes, including a ban on outside alcohol. no booze?

are you suggesting i go into the starbucks bathroom sober? you know what? enough about all this nonsense. the big story today is this viral clip from a chicago grocery store! take a look. okay, the police officer is rooting around in the bottom of the produce section, pushing past the lettuce, and he gets his hand on something. we see something furry, maybe a rat, and... nope! it's a coyote! that is crazy! they sell salad in chicago? [applause] i thought it was all pork products. but can we take a moment to appreciate the brave cop in the background who responded to the call of duty with broom and dust pan! that coyote knocked over an open box of cheerios. so why exactly was there a coyote hiding behind

the arugula? let's go to our sister station wbbm, chicago's coyote news leader. >> i spoke with the chicago animal care and control and they tell me that january through march is mating season for coyotes, so they're more active and territorial. >> stephen: they're more territorial for mating season. that coyote thinks ruling over an aldi will help him pick up the ladies. "hey, girl. you wanna get out of this forest preserve and go back to my place? not to brag, but it's a discount grocery store that also inexplicably sells clothes. not that we're gonna need 'em." [howling] [applause] do they howl? do coyotes howl? ooh, men's football playoffs are in full swing, and you can catch all the action right here on cbs, home of the afc championship.

then stick around after the game sunday for a brand-new "late show." tune in whether you enjoy comedy talk or are too deep in a nacho coma to reach the remote. there was a big viral moment this past sunday during the eagles-packers wildcard game, when eagles pro bowl receiver aj brown sat on the sidelines and took out a book. seems unusual, but literature is a big part of football. "all right, boys, bring it in. all right, smith, i want you to run a five yard out, then turn, grab a glass of chardonnay and crack open gabriel garcia-marquez's masterwork "100 years of solitude." okay, brown? you hit the sideline "eat, pray, love!" "inner journey" on three!" let's go! [applause] who's got salinger? who's covering salinger? the book brown was reading was "inner excellence: train your mind for extraordinary performance and the best possible life." and in the two days since brown

was seen reading the book, it hit number 1 on amazon's bestsellers list. of course, the nfl can make any author's dream come true. explains why one of the vendors at last weekend's bills game was malcolm gladwell. we got a great show for you tonight! my guests are josh gad and betty gilpin. but when we come back, "meanwhile"! join us, won't you? ♪ ♪

[cheers and applause] >> stephen: not taped. that's it. that's a wake-up call for america. meanwhile, chuck e. cheese is making a comeback, with the elimination of the animatronic band and a retooled pizza recipe. no animatronics and better pizza? then it's not chuck e. cheese! it's just "formerly rat-owned pizza emporium." so they took out the robot band,

but don't worry, instead they're adding trampolines. perfect for any parent who's ever said, "okay, my kid's full of retooled pizza and off-brand soda, but before i throw 'em in the back of my minivan, is there any way you could shake 'em up real good?" i will never get rid of our robot band, i promise. so lifelike. so lifelike. meanwhile, in nigeria, "a designer created the world's largest sandal." next, she is creating the world's largest sock, so they can be worn together by the world's largest dad. meanwhile, "select dunkin' locations in the u.s. are facing a mysterious doughnut shortage due to a manufacturing error." because only the very best foods need to be "manufactured". "hey, ed, hand me that socket wrench so i can finish manufacturing this banana."

bananas aren't metric. [laughter] you've got to be careful. meanwhile, "this $75 leather mosh pit diaper lets you pee yourself at concerts." it also lets you ask for a divorce without saying a word. [applause] i do wanna take issue with the word "lets" you pee yourself. nothing's been stopping you. all you need to do is relax and give up on everything. meanwhile, wendy's is offering a 25 cent burger to kick off 2025. for a limited time, just a quarter will get customers something known as a "dave's single." presumably because that's what you say when you see a man sitting by himself

plowing through 25-cent burgers. "uh, dave's single." this sounds like a fun promotion, but i have some ground beef with this deal, because, in order to qualify for the 25 cent burger, the customers' order total must be at least $20. well, then it's not a 25 cent burger, is it? it's a $20.25 burger! what am i supposed to do? buy $10 worth of frosties and $10 worth of french fries and dip those french fries in the frosties? because i am doing that whether you want me to or not? meanwhile, a man with a crocodile skull in his luggage was arrested at a delhi airport. totally understandable. i always make that mistake. "so is it laptop in, crocodile skull out? or shoes on, crocodile skull in?" meanwhile, in a blast from the past, the 1980s soda jolt cola is coming back to the shelves. if you don't remember jolt cola, that's because you drank one in 1987 and blew out your hippocampus. for those of you not in the know, jolt's a real pick-me-up because

it contains "all the sugar and twice the caffeine of coca-cola and pepsi." perfect for anyone who said, "i like coke and pepsi, but i'd also like to die." that'd be fun. meanwhile, over in the u.k., "a woman's nut allergy was triggered after sex." [laughter] apparently the woman's partner had eaten nuts two or three3 hours before they had sex, but he had taken a bath and thoroughly cleaned his teeth. now doctors say "vaginal sex introduced allergy-triggering proteins from nuts into the woman's body by way of her partner's semen." that's insane. there were traces of nuts in his semen? can we get a picture of this guy? okay. that checks out. we'll be right back with josh gad!

for it? >> betty: we did. we did month of cowboy camp. it was so much fun. we were each paired with our stunt person. i think we all actors thought we looked really cool on the horses but even from a football field away, you can tell, that's the stunt person on the horse who has been writing since they were three and that's the actor. the stunt person, when they ride a horse, it's so beautiful. they look like they're having sex with the ocean. the actor, the actor looks like they're having sex with a subaru outback. it's not good looking. shout out to my stunt person, lindy. >> stephen: also shout out to subaru drivers. no judgment. love is love. the strike hit in the middle of this. there we are. no one works for how long? how long have you shopped before

the strike hit? >> betty: i think we had shot for seven months. then the strike shut us down for six or whatever. and in that time, i got so pregnant. >> stephen: you got extra pregnant? >> betty: so very pregnant. netflix was so excited. >> stephen: did you ride pregnant? >> betty: i wanted to. they assured me during cowboy camp, i was prenervous. someone was like, these are movie horses. they can do anything. they told us, as long as you stay calm on the horse and of course every scene as me being like no! when i came back six months pregnant, i was like i'm fine. this is a moving horse. the same person was like, what are you talking about? you told me. he's like oh, yeah, that's not a real thing. >> stephen: some people bond with their horse and have a close, affectionate relationship after a while.

>> betty: shout out to dollar and rio, my horses. well bonded on the set. we were together for a year and this sort of wild gorgeous circus together and one time i got a sty in my eyes and we couldn't film the scene. another actor got a sty in his eye and i went up to the set medic, who looked like a haunted fisherman in the most wonderful way. like clint eastwood in a bucket hat. the coolest guy ever. i was like, why do we keep getting sties? he goes, "the cloud." i was like, the cloud? he goes, look around you. the horses. we have been breathing in their fecal cloud for six months. [laughter] and he goes, do not eat onset here we both looked down at the sandwich. i look around.

everyone is eating. everyone is touching their eyes. makeup is touching up my eyes. so i was in a fecal cloud. john wayne, anyone filming in horses is in the fecal cloud. >> stephen: this is exciting. >> betty: a week from today. >> stephen: you are making her broadway debut. taking over the role of mary todd in "oh mary." how did this come about? >> betty: i do not really understand. i was filming the mini-series this past summer about a different president who was assassinated the 1800s, james garfield, and playing his first lady. i was literally sitting in a set of the oval office dressed as a first lady sitting across from a lincoln bost and i got a text from my agent saying, would you be interested in stepping in

for cole as mary todd. i looked up and made eye contact with the lincoln bust i just started sobbing. the person next to me with no context or saw me doing the crossword and then seeing lincoln. >> stephen: i understand debuting at that theater has great meaning, they lyceum. >> betty: both of my parents are actors and did mostly stage and i basically grew up in a stage manager's booth memorizing their lines and everyone else's lines. giving everyone notes. yeah, just like any helpful 8-year-old. i called my dad to tell him, while i have done lots of off-broadway, i've never done broadway my called my dad to tell him there was a pause he was like, what theater? i said the lyceum. he said i made my broadway debut at the lyceum in 1978 is under study. he went on one time. so a week from tonight when i am making my broadway debut when

i'm absolutely -- puke will be here, tears will be here, through will be nonexistent my will become my dad having that same feeling in 1978 and hopefully my blood pressure will go down a little bit. >> stephen: that's beautiful. betty, thank you so much for being here. break a leg. "american primeval" is streaming on netflix now. catch her in "oh mary" at the lyceum. betty gilpin, everybody. we'll be right back.

take that up a little bit higher. you should feel that, like, right back here. oh, yeah, i felt that! good, that is so much better than last week. thanks, i've been doing 'em every night while i'm watching tv. - oh, what are you watching? it's a mystery. high quality care that meets you where you are.

i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe. [skateboard sounds]

>> stephen: that's it for "the late show." tune in tomorrow when my guests will be adam scott and treasury secretary janet yellen. now stick around for "after midnight" good night! ♪ ♪
