>>from the american model. let's keep swinging that camera around now, because i want to show you what the other model has to say about this. we're going to look at the european model, which doesn't give us rain on sunday. in fact, i'll stop it on sunday and there's nothing coming for us. by the way, we're going ahead sunday, february 2nd. that's a week from today. but look what it does. once we get past that could be perhaps an active period for us as we get into early february. muchness. so we will have much more in the way of details on that as we get closer to it. here's your seven day forecast. cold mornings.

daytime highs around 60 degrees. all right, vern, over to you. >>all right, here we go. hey. straight ahead in sports, the nfl. it's all about what happens in two weeks. oh, a chance at history for one franchise at the expense of another. the chiefs andy reid once coached. but we've seen this movie before. eagles

- i had health insurance before. (discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered california. it's totally affordable. you'd be surprised. they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance.

i guess what i'm looking for from you is, i mean, i know how the fire affected me, and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true. [joe] that's my commitment. [ambient noise]

[joe] that's my commitment. nfl up top. and it's called championship sunday. and in this one well like super bowl 57 a couple of years ago. the stars that survived are familiar. first a dandy in kansas city out of the afc. patrick mahomes and the chiefs. they hosted josh allen and the bills for the fourth time in the postseason. pick it up. third quarter. it looked like the bills might get over. james cook just over on fourth and goal pushed them ahead 2221 after a failed two point try. early fourth key play bills. allen stopped on fourth and inches at the chiefs 40. the play was reviewed. the chiefs took over and five plays later mahomes was on the run, took it in from ten yards out. if you watch, he did miss on the spike, but kansas city led 2922

after he got the two point conversion. buffalo tried to answer with six minutes left. fourth and goal. allen to curtis samuel touchdown tied the game and bills mafia loved it. next drive, mahomes dumped it off to rookie xavier worthy, one of the fastest guys in the league. he ran down to the ten yard line. chiefs kicked a field goal and led 3229. two minutes left, another fourth down for buffalo. chiefs blitzed allen. he let it go. and dalton kincaid on the ground nearly caught it. look at this. the ball bounced off his arm. that's a turnover on downs. bills needed a stop. third and nine for kansas city. and mahomes decided to throw. samaje perine made a play and picked up the first down and clinched this game. the bills well they were out of timeouts. chiefs won it in a thriller 3229 to move on to super bowl 59 and a chance to become the first team to win three straight titles. >>a little bit of everything. >>how >>about

>>those. teams? that's what i'm talking about, baby. hey, before you guys get out of here, just do a little dance. make a little love. yeah. get down tonight. >>to the nfc. big day for saquon barkley jayden daniels and the washington commanders. turnover riddled eagles on attack. nfc championship on the line. barkley first offensive play through the washington commanders defense two slippery on the 60 yard play. eagles flew ahead 7 to 3. was turned into a 14 to 6 second quarter lead. that is when daniels zipped it to terry mclaurin. and mclaurin did the rest. shed tackles in a 36 yard scoring play, 14 to 12, after a missed two point try. final minutes of the half. philly up eight. jalen hurts to a.j. brown. eagles led by 15 going into halftime. last minute of the third quarter. eagles up 11.

commanders did this four times. turnovers austin ekeler fumbled. philadelphia scored 21 points off of turnovers. and that is your game. birds capitalized as hurts scored one of his three touchdowns on the tush push to make it 41 to 23. eight minutes left, barkley capped off a 118 yard day with a four yard touchdown, his third of the day. the eagles scored seven rushing touchdowns, dropped 55 points on the board, and won it 5523, and advance to their second super bowl. in the last three years. >>they don't give me a vote for mvp, but iote is. probably why they don't give me a vote because i would vote for saquon. how unexpected is this for this team that you own to go to the vote? 59 in new orleans. well, it's kind of expected i think. oh okay. good. you expect it. yeah. >>so the eagles and the chiefs will meet two weeks from tonight in new orleans a rematch from super bowl 57

kansas city won that game 3835. the chiefs are nearly one and a half point favorite this time around. now one win away from a three peat. tennis, anyone? jannik sinner on the left. alexander zverev on the right. australian open final and sinner, the number one seed on the far court. oh, the touch got serve crashing toward the net and then blasted the backhand winner to end the match. sinner took it in straight sets six four, seven six, six three to claim his second straight aussie open title and third grand slam final. >>all righty vern, coming up, we are less than three days away from the year of the snake. a look at the

welcome back. thousands came out to san jose's grand century mall this weekend to celebrate the vietnamese tet lunar new year. >>our mary lee was in little saigon today and spoke to vietnamese americans about the importance of coming together to celebrate the year of the snake. >>oh. >>we're prepping the lines to bring it up to the pole just so we can strap it on like a bac test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test

test test from live performances, taking family photos together, writing wishes for the new year, to celebrating the year of the snake through artwork, grand century mall was packed with thousands of people celebrating tet lunar new year. for me personally, i've lived here for over 20 years, so i'm very happy that we have such a big celebration here at grand century this year, celebrating the year of the snake. brandon is proud to honor his heritage, representing his vietnamese culture through the art of lion dancing.

>>happy new year! >>well, coming up, a successful rummage sale in oakland. one man's trash can be another man's treasure. we're hearing from shoppers

>> congratulations to the chief than the eagle, who have earned their spot in the super bowl to live for the lombardi trophy but regardless of who wins, both teams got one of these trophies that commemorate the fact they made the final duo. in that spirit, zales presents that you are in my top two necklace. give it to the leading ladies in your life. it is the perfect way to say to those special someone, you are one of a couple options i have. take the time to acknowledge even though you may not ultimately choose her, she is still pretty good. pick up the you are in my top two necklace today. because diamonds are forever, but one of you is not. annie ko it's "the late show with stephen colbert." tonight, what in the dust? plus, stephen welcomes deion sanders, and musical guest came

brown, with a special appearance by john lithgow. featuring louis cato and the late show band. live from the ed sullivan theater, it is stephen colbert. they went to thank you, welcome. welcome one and all in here, out there, all around the world. you are joining us on an historic night, following the incredible afc championship game. afc championship, of course, often called the super bowl of finding out who will be in the super bowl.

this is a rare sunday show. so, naturally, i and my staff, this morning, we all went to church together. cbs is a family. a family that occasionally cancels its children, and replaces them with a spinoff of one of their more successful children. but just because tonight's game is over two hours ago, doesn't mean you have to stop gambling. there are plenty of parlays available here at the late show. hot tip: take the over on whether or not i have the greatest audience in the world! [cheers and applause] get a little shot of that. that cheer just lost some kid their college savings. another reason to cheer: we survived the first week of the second trump administration.

[boos] imagine how good we'll feel when we survive the first week of the third trump administration. trump has been signing a lot of executive orders this week, and thursday, he had a real humdinger. because he signed an order declassifying files on the jfk, rfk and mlk assassinations. this will be the biggest release of presidential secrets since we found out what the 'b' stands for in lyndon b. johnson. "bananas." the order doesn't specify a release date for these files, but once they come out, we're finally gonna get clear answers on the jfk assassination, a tragic event that spawned decades of conspiracy theories. but once we read the files, occam's razor tells us the true answer will be the simplest one: the cia worked with fidel castro, the mafia, and the dallas police to train russian

dolphins to swim from the gulf of mexico up through the sewers onto the grassy knoll, where, at the last second, their teeny, flipper-mounted missile launchers were jammed by radio interference from a nearby station playing the crystals' "da doo ron ron," while at the exact moment, jfk died chocking on one of those tiny silica gel packets that say "do not eat." zapruder was in on it. and who benefited? lyndon "bananas" johnson. ladies and gentlemen. remember the first rule of conspiracies. follow the monkey. turns out, trump isn't the first president to release info on jfk's assassination. biden also declassified some documents, though many remained redacted. for example, this one, which reads: "president kennedy -redacted- room full of pan-am stewardess trainees -redacted- baby pool of strawberry jam." we'll never know.

one of the reasons that they have kept these files secret for so long is that intelligence agencies say the threat to national security outweighs public interest. yes, we can't afford to have our 60 year old secrets fall into soviet hands. "sir, look at this! apparently the americans are close to developing something called 'fax machine.' it will allow us to send borscht recipe with push of button!" if trump's executive orders are upsetting you, you're not alone. he's pissing off people on a global scale. thursday, he zoomed in to the world economic forum in davos switzerland. you know their slogan, you're too poor to hear our slogan. in a rambling address, the president, among other things, blasted european regulation and

trade policies, while also renewing his promise for across-the-board tariffs. the only way to make europeans angrier would've been to publicly shame the singing career of david hasselhoff. "nein! don't hassel za hoff!" didn't know i spoke german, did you? trump once again threatened our neighbors to the north with harris. -- with tariffs. >> you can always become a st state. >> stephen: "join us, you syrup-sucking freaks. you moose-fondling ice-holes. you'll need a new name. you're right above minnesota, we'll call you maxi-sota." [applause] trump also had a long ramble about how not winning the 2020

election was a good thing for him personally. >> through a stroke of luck or whatever you might call it, i am going to be present during the world cup and the olympics and the 250th anniversary. >> stephen: "i'm also going to be in office for 'wicked 2.' no spoilers! i hope that witch alphabet wins the quidditch game. the wizard only offered her that job because of green d.e.i. which is why she became wicked, and chose to defy gravity, which was bad news for all the people of narnia. but i wouldn't kick that white queen outta bed for eating turkish delight, if you know what i mean. there's no place like home." trump also caught heat earlier in the week for his threats to non-consensually acquire greenland. this past week, at a press conference in the capital city of nook -- great place to have breakfast, by the way -- their prime minister said unequivocally, "we do not want to be americans." i get it. we're not perfect.

we've got some income inequality, we've got gun violence, bad healthcare. but! we also have something called the pop tarts bowl, where an anthropomorphized pop tart gets toasted to death for our amusement. thank you for your snackrifice. [applause] after his speech, a reporter asked greenland's prime minister if greenland had conveyed the message that it is "not up for grabs" directly to trump. you shouldn't have to convey that! it's 2025. there aren't any places still "up for grabs." "uh, hey, is this anybody's peru? really? it's peru's peru? then why's it called 'my'chu picchu?" at the same time, in a meeting of the european parliament, a

danish official pushed back on the president a little more directly. >> dear trump, listen very carefully. greenland has been part of the danish kingdom for 800 years. it is an integrated part of our country, it is not for sale. let me put it in word you might understand, mr. trump. [bleep] off. [cheers and applause] >> stephen: oh damn, you just got skeüled! how's that taste? i'm guessing salty licorice. one of the first executive orders trump signed this week was one officially creating elon musk's brainchild: the department of government efficiency or "doggy." i trust i'm mispronouncing that correctly.

and it looks like elon's found his first target for trimming federal spending: the u.s. penny. lose the penny?! this is the worst thing that's ever happened to abraham lincoln. but musk's logic is hard to argue. "the penny costs over 3 cents to make and cost u.s. taxpayers over $179 million in fiscal year 2023," and "the mint produced over 4.5 billion pennies in fiscal year 2023, around 40% of the 11.4 billion coins for circulation produced." it's true. the mint has to keep making pennies because nobody uses them. if you get them in your change, you just put 'em in the giant wine jug you keep by the fireplace. until one day, it is buried with you like a low-rent pharaoh. so, i'm torn here. on the one hand, the penny is obviously an outdated, waste of money whose time is past. on the other, i like it. to decide what to do, let's flip a coin. specifically, a penny. heads, we ditch the penny.

tails, we keep the penny. here goes. it's not worth picking up. [laughter] [cheers and applause] of course, now that the afc championship is behind us, we're on the countdown to the super bowl... ads. and we're already getting some teasers. for instance, this week, we saw this one of drew barrymore and orlando bloom in a commercial for a cruise ship company. no offense to orlando bloom, but if i wanted to be on a boat with a guy who knows way too much about legolas, i'd go fishing alone. we're also getting a preview of an ad for taco bell featuring doja cat and the new "live mas drive thru cams" that take people's photos after they order taco bell. great idea. 'cuz everybody's first thought

after grabbin' their 1:00 a.m. hot bag of wet beans is, "i wish my loved ones could see this." and if you love those celebrity super bowl ads but don't wanna wait two weeks, you're in luck. because tonight, "the late show" is proud to present the exclusive debut of this new star-studded commercial. jim? >> i am john lithgow. if i know one thing, it is how to imbue characters with the kind of depth that suggests a rich inner life. if i know another thing, it is that you cannot drive hard to the hoop and a pair of clown basketball shoes. you need air lift goes. you will be making suckers cry more than terms of endearment.

he had no choice. i get up and they do something stupid so i get up again. next thing you know, i am running the whole practice and i thought if i am going to do this, i am going to do it my way. i called some of my friends who were retired and i said let's start this youth football league. we had 1200 kids tried out and the rest was history. ages five to 14 and we just started this unbelievable youth program with football, baseball, basketball, track, cheer. i was coach prime before you knew i was coach prime well over a decade. >> you also coached your two boys. they play their final season. there they are. i love this photo. this is you walking on the field with them. at the beginning of the last game. >> that is a tearjerker. that is hard. it brings back so many thoughts
