I shouldn't, have left my top away open and will hand. That was my bet that important part of that we will back together and the Union? Sex is going to be amazing. It's been a while. It's just commented Austria, as you screamed like once, there's no sex, that nothing has changed. We've got a great show tonight because Phillies all guess everybody it's a really amazing, show about people who cant remember what they did at work, which sounds like a documentary to me. Also on today's show we'll be celebrating the Supreme Court. No one member catastrophe, myths kick things off in Washington, DC home of the world's most famous statue of a guy.

Tv I'm going to guess is that what he's doing I most days, do you know these days? It's also the home of America's most elite.

with the outbreak and turning to the pandemic, the list of high profile government officials, testing positive for Kovac is growing longer. Last week's gridiron dinner, which hosted several members of Washington's elite political class, including those cabinet members, has become the source of a major outbreak. New tonight we've learned. Sixty seven attendees have tested positive. That's about ten percent of that total crowd house speaker. Nancy Pelosi is positive. Kobe tests today came less than twenty four hours after she was standing next to President Biden for a bill signing that interaction followed this one on Tuesday, when the eighty two year old, kissed, the president, the White House, communications, director, Kate Bedingfield, also said that it is conceivable possible that the President President Biden will ultimately test positive for covert, but I do think it's important to note that it is possible. He will test positive for cocaine at some point. The president is certainly living his life we hear that prison

it's certainly living his life but the way she made it sounds like oh yeah he's getting kissed by policy. Oh yeah he's hitting the clubs he's coming up. Medicine called on me like where's, that orgy boy tongue with an orgy is you can relax as a safe orgy everyone's ring mosques, but yes, but he s cove. It is ripping through wash. Indeed, the right now and you know what it's just nice to see a capital being overrun with something that doesn't smear feces in there. closest office. This is a nice change, it's respectable covid and the Good NEWS is that It has gotten very sick, I think that's the main thing, which is a big difference between now and the beginning of the pandemic. Yeah. The other difference is that now, when covert sweeps through a house full of people and require more isn't there to cover it up. So this is a good change we moving forward and the judge Unfortunately, we cannot let our guard down when it comes to Colbert people. The vaccine is one of the best defence

do you have, and I hope each and every one of you in this pact into audience remembers that rights. They say they are going back to the person most people, don't you more so they can hear you clearly tell them. Space faith, stay safe, also? I shouldn't have to say this, but why we kissing I'll call work is what are we doing? It's not necessary, not now, not ever in the history of jobs, no one has ever needed a kiss from their call work, I know one known noticed sitting in the office like work so hard. I won't even smush his wet lips against my cheek. This place is toxic. Why won't you kiss me he's bringing the report and I brought it and he was just like thank you, whereas the kiss, the let's move on

some big, the famous news, if now been two weeks since the craziest Oscars moment in living history and yeah, I'm too and about the fact that House of Gucci didn't when best hand make up the movie ones can make up. How do they not when I was truly, is the worst thing that happened at the Oscars? Oh, I almost forgot. There was also the moment where Will Smith introduces hand to Chris Rock space which had everyone asking? How will the academy awards punish? Will Smith will now with

finding out there was the slab heard around the world and effort slapping Chris Rock during the Oscars actor? Will Smith has been banned from attending any academy events for the next decade? The academy issued a statement yesterday saying this in part. The ninety fourth ask us for men to be a celebration of the many individuals and our community who did incredible work. This path care. However, those moments were over shadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behaviour we saw. Mister Smith exhibit onstage. The birds move will keep Smith from attending, presenting or performing at the Oscars. It won't bar him from being nominated or even willing. If it cannot be a word in the future and you get to keep the one he has now. Will Smith has been banned, from the Oscars for ten years. Ten years. Relax by then I'm legend is gonna, be real life, although I will say

I will say this when I first read the headline. I thought this was the worst punishment ever and here is the Oscars you ridiculous, but then our I won't like got into the details and he gets to keep his Oscar and he can still win because, even though these bans or in many ways this isn't a punishment, is a favor movement doesn't have to go to the ceremony. He doesn't have to get dressed up Don't have to sit through a bunch of boring awards that he doesn't care about the whole best punctuation in the digital recycled, film kill me he doesn't have to pretend to happy when he loses. I wish I could get and from the Emmys

I wish every I have to go and act like I might be John Oliver. It's a nightmare put on my hopeful faith. Who could be please? I also think they should have at least consulted could rob before choosing the punishment you know, because it will was still going to the Oscars At least four hours, where Chris Rock knows where he is now, he could be anywhere honestly. I don't think they should have been Psmith it'll, all be honest, yeah actually should have hired, Will Smith to replace the wrap it up. Music, that they play at award shows yeah. Do you know how quickly winners will finish their speeches when they see Will Smith watching them from the side of the stage, and I just want to thank my agent and my publicist.

my agent publicists than I just one down down, I'm not I'm not! The main thing is the main thing is we can finally move on and stop talking about. The slack It's done now punish the men made a mistake. We on move on the now we can get back to talking about the story that the slap pushed off the front page, the war in Ukraine yeah. So let's move on and talk about that. As russian troops retreat from the areas around Kiev and other locations in western Ukraine? It now appears that Putin will be focusing on trying to take over just that. certain regions directly on Russia's border, and so in the latest show of support for Ukraine, british prime Mr Boris Johnson met with ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on the streets of the streets, Ukraine, war, look at that's them in You know it's crazy that even though he's wearing a full suit bars,

the one who looks like he's been kept up at night by russian bombs or not well below the world is focused on the ukrainian victims of Putin's war. Many russian Instagram influences well, they feel like They are the real victims of what's happening. Ukraine over six hundred companies have withdrawn their businesses from Russia. So far, some like Chanel even refusing to sell products to Russians abroad unless they confirmed they won't use those products in Russia enraged russian influencers posted videos showing them cutting up. There should now bags in protest. I had to see some new house does not respect replies. Why do we have to know how at the on the list of people I feel bad for in this war. Russian influences is right at the top.

Definitely at the for me. I will say this We have seen that the economic pressure on Russia is having an effect. You realize Instagram model, Khan even buy pants, and The the sanctions are working. You confused when people protest companies by destroy. Stuff that they already bought what're you doing what are you doing ocean? Then we are going to show. You will disagree to cook my big, or this is good too. You should now they're ready got your money. This doesn't hurt. Should now you think when you cutting up that purse, coke

so now lives in one corner, you're, feeling it like a design, a voodoo doll. Are they cutting me? I feel it in my heart. No, this is like bring me more champagne. Yes, I know I'm dead. I don't care, bring me champagne, all right, that's it for the headlines, but before we go, let's check in with Roy Wood Jr with today's traffic, the quick look at the roads, but first let me let me just actual collision buddies. The whole Colbert in DC or the Democrats getting Colgate gave out just now getting over well yeah What did I do miss said what they were. No sooner semester partner take on this law making air everybody you know you're supposed to get covered in the first, six seven months and that's when you get thoughts and prayers and people with, about recipe way back in the day and like original recipe When the less important man you can cover not only give a damn. Just like it's like

You got dandruff done about again. People should off. We and I'll see you tomorrow as its drama understand it, but I just I just at all at all understand a man, but there is another thing called it the name. Covid when contain the second quarter profit all this vaccination ship man? Is that don't nobody scared of the name Covey you control, Americans with fear. We was done the moment they call, covid. They should have called the sky age if you call Scott

you got aids. Vaccination rate would be ninety seven percent. If, if you knew age was in the air, you wouldn't be here right now, of course, was this a job traffic know why? Why am I even here right now, people like watching the news and they like watching the traffic on the news- that's hard work at night they like to traffic and the fibroid like why. Why would you trust a dude on tv to tell you to traffic, but you got a tv in your pocket? You got a telephone in your, anything pass on to you. Don't need me my job is irrelevant Evanna. Why,

His shop is a scam, but if you don't know what the traffic is wrong, hey, hey I'm trying to make a new show here. Roy! I just don't know if you want better Dravid stay at home, your water, the problem with the degree literally rebooted people in degrees today happy lately, they're, not part of brown Brown Bam and then they hit the red. Then you've got people up that big to come to. Oh, no, I'm smart! I'm gonna go this way wrong, read that and I still feel sorry for the people, Center, but you know what I feel sorry for the people stuck in traffic more than I do anybody who, finally catching over two and a half years into it.

Wouldn't work on this one. Would you know everybody will be giving judges with Jackson had been stolen from joining us. Let's talk about the Supreme Courts. The only place where wearing robe makes you more powerful. The supreme Courts is one of the oldest oceans in american society, and after two hundred

and thirty years it's finally getting a fresh new judge. Could Tangier Brown Jackson cementing her place in history becoming the first black woman to be confirmed to the Supreme Court on this vote? The Aser fifty three, the Naser, forty seven? and this nomination is confirmed, the cheers erupting in the chamber over at the White House, President Biden, watching that final tally come in with the judge by his side, the oh wow he didn't know at all wow. This is exciting people. Finally, a black woman.

We'll be on, and this is happening just in time for the courtroom eliminate all rights for black people and women water moments. well. This is incredible, man think about it. She will now be the most powerful black woman in the country to have her opinion, entirely dismissed by two thirds of our co workers, while you'd and for anyone who wanted how much of an impact katana Jackson would have well she made history from the moment she was confirmed. As Democrats rose for their feet, with a Republican headed for the door. Mitt Romney of you top one of three Republicans to vote. Yes standing alone, the only GNP Senator clapping really really not first of all criticism at Rome II,

the decorum. You know all those Assholes, think about the first black woman. Since this country was founded, gets confirmed to the supreme caught, and you can't find it in you to stay and clap. Just just clap, even like a I must say you gonna, throw your panties on the stage or anything just show some respect, just just some respect. Those Republicans ran out of the room like someone was handing out. Free n word passes in the lobby, all going. Oh boy, I've always wanted to stay. That word boy in public Why would you like, no one ever leaves doesn't matter whether they like the personal. Not. Why would you leave the first black woman and that's when you going to leave? I mean luckily the Republican his if it couldn't spoil this historic moment, because not every day that a black person in America get Central CORE

I actually deserve to be it. I don't fry Kbj. She took her victory lap at the White House

tonight celebrating history on the high court Judge Catanzaro Brown Jackson at a moment centuries in the making. It has taken two hundred and thirty two years and one hundred and fifteen prior appointments for a black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court and the United States, but we've made it Jackson, a history maker and a barrier breaker reciting the poetic words of Maya Angelou. I am the dream and the hope of the slave and casting this is a moment in which all Americans can take great pride. We have come a long way toward protecting our union. In my family it took just one generation to go from segregation to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court whew. That was alive. I will be like if you're a black person who succeeds you've got double the pressure on you. You know yeah cause you you

just have to perform? You also got to come up with dope lines when you get the job segregation to the Supreme Court. What that was powerful, that call from my Angelo. All of it was fire when, especially when you consider Cavanaugh celebration: we just quoted the words of Captain Morgan by the way, by the way, probably President Biden for rocking those We need, as during the speech that way to make. Sorry moment like a deleted seed from top gun. Mr President, you know, Biden only breaks those out when he's feeling his swagger. He says like oh yeah or when his eyes are bleeding again. You never know which one it is you never know anyway. I didn't make his. I believe, the anyway more on the historic nomination of concerns you Brown Jackson. Let's turn now to our Supreme Court.

But Dulce Sloan, everybody, the. I know you're at the Supreme Court right now. How are you feeling about this historic news? I guess the. The old way that that's it, you feeling fine job that, oh now listen. I know homegrown earn this but deep down. I was hoping I would become the first black woman on the Supreme Court will not venture say, but why would you be qualified to be a judge on the Supreme Court. I'm not, when judging people my whole. Ok, okay, families, friends, strangers dogs. What

yeah I'm as dogs and judge and everybody I'm just people who ask for directions. People who can with chopsticks people can't calculate a tip you just I would point one time that ban are dead bridges, aware kitten eels weight on what's wrong kitten heels is either or heel or a flat. Okay, a tiny he'll need your unstable and you can make up your mind. The point is, I have been preparing for this job since I came out the Wo Mo Grad, who will do say I'll, be honest. I I have no idea. You were so invested in getting on the Supreme Court yeah. I know you weren't and I'm judging you What no? No? No! No, no! I know you're disappointed. I know he disappointed, but cats Tangy Brown Jackson is one of the most qualified candidates in the history of the process

Course she is, she had to be okay, she's, a black woman Jake she's had to break glass ceilings, and white people, how to say her name from that one look. I don't want to come across as a hater, If it couldn't be me, I'm glad it's her. Well, that's very big of you to say plus, there's still hope for you too, because I mean, I think, you'd make a great second female black justice. Second, now nobody cares about the person who that okay, that's not a black, is three fat, see if I can't be the first black female judge on the Supreme Court, I'm not interested! So now I have a new goal to be the first black female judge on. duty wait like. I think only judge duty can be the judge on Judge Judy, whack she's, why

no because you you know, do they change your dream. You change your business loan, everybody when we come back here. is Emmy Award, winning director producer and actor Ben easier to talk about his thrilling. Hit series severance. Please welcome

Ben still up. You were you gonna, yeah, yo, YO, edit, that all edited out. We will do another one. No one will know that you fell normal, no been Stiller because a decision this is so good to see. It's been so long since I've seen you in person It was maybe four years ago forty years ago it was like a million years ago and just feels like everything feels like a long time ago. Yet it also just happened. Writes it's really weird and you were talking in the

tween a little bit about the weirdness with how were approaching covert and where they are and covered, and you were so spot hunt with it? Just it's so clear going to happen. I just we just floating down. I I know that you didn't, This show based on covered, but really for those who haven't more- and I don't say this lightly cause. I know people will have time constraints in they like watch the show. I promise you that is one of the best shows you will watch

several amazing congratulations to the new Ben Stiller. You don't like the like the moody directors Varia. I like that. I didn't see this into like as as a person. You know yours, yours, think, of Ben Stiller, the comedian Bro Benson, doing like the funniest movies you've ever done, but my my my inner circle knows me as the Moody yeah. No, I mean it's been really fun to direct and not act, and I love I've always wanted to direct. Since I was a kid all, I know since I was like ten years old and have been doing it over the years and usually acting also, but this has been really fun the last few years and I just loved this He said material, this script that Dan Ericsson wrote. He had not had anything produced up to this point I find hard to believe know, he's a he's, a brilliant writer who was trying to get his work you and out there and someone in our when he saw it and I read it- I thought it was amazing that was five years ago and took a little while to get it to write really, but it's been real.

Play fun and we made it totally during you know in a bit all during the pandemic, really so about to start shooting six weeks we are six some shooting when the pandemic hit and then than we stopped for a second, but it's been very, much insular and then now to have it out in the world all of a sudden and to have people interact. It has been so satisfying going. It felt for a long time. We were just doing this for ourselves like it was. I feel like everything following that during the pandemic. Yeah, there were moments when I was making the daily show was just like anybody any way. You know because, like homework felt at some point, it was just like you. You wake up, you do the thing you write again: it's it's in a bubble and you're doing comedy where you're talking and making jokes and there's nobody in the room, nothing yeah. And how could you tell if you were funny, I couldn't you just need to me just go like. I just became a crazy, but don't you think I might have made you funnier, because you kind of did

hair you can just maybe maybe in like a way that I'll go to therapy for yeah. Definitely no idea. I wonder if, if covert affected the show- because I don't want to spoil it for anybody who hasn't watched it, but I will tell you something you learn quickly, and that is it's a show where people have found a way to sever? their world and their memories from their work world and their memories. So basically the people go to work and they don't remember anything that happened at work and when they had worked in order anything that happens in life? That's right and when watching it felt covert? It felt like a do you not It feels like it's the perfect show for the time yeah, and it felt it felt like that when we were making it also because we were shooting at this stage in the Bronx actually, and we would go there and we go into the testing tend to which would felt very post apocalypse and then we'd walk into the studio, and it was a five minute walk down these white hallways, that's hillyer. She could get twins a few data and that we get to the studio and the set was white hallways that we'd walked out. So

it was then we'd leave at night and nobody would see each other and then we come back and test it was. It was so weird, it's beautiful I was angry man, yet what we had a great every, never ever shot that you. You have feels intentional, you know. Sometimes you watch your show and the show is great. Maybe the cost is great. Maybe it's terrible is well whatever, but something You watch a show like this wit. The cost is amazing. You know that the I think is phenomenal, but the way you shoot it feels really intentional, like your home, some shots for long. Sometimes it feels like you want just to feel a certain kind of way like have you ever In a shitty office, that's what I wanted you know I have. I have worked as an Inter alia. The worst job I had was, it was actually wasn't that bad. I was a talent intern on a talk show and that's bad depending on the challenge yeah. So I had to take care of the stars who would come in this is when I was in Cali California, on a show called thick of the night. Alan Thicke had a talk, show and

So I'm like walked Charlton Heston to his car, wow yeah or I'd lend Rick Duke I'm in the comedian, twenty bucks and then never get it back yeah, that's a quote. I mean I worked in a cameras too, but I never worked in that office. Sort of like the drudgery of it's mainly from watching tv capture, it like it feels, like I think, Jan Gould and the writer did- that he'll roll many of those jobs right took his frustration and he put it all into his work. You feel it yeah. Yesterday, when you watch the show, you go like oh yeah. This reminds me of it because I, like my mom, worked most of her life. office, and then she would she couldn't afford, like child care. Whatever so she'd put me under the desk like a puppy and that's ok, no I'd come back from school and there'll be like under the day. It was great, don't worry about me. It's not like. I was struck me as having a great time, but I just remember like watching everyone in those cubicles- and I was like this is- is this life? Is this and the way you you, you captured what I would know what you're trying to make us feel. As the audience what you know for me?

it's honestly these characters? Are human beings were putting this really weird abnormal situation and it's Like any of you know, I did a prison show before this and it's kind of similar and that people are going to be human beings and no matter what you don't. Let me invite mature in so there's a humanity to these characters who don't know who they are doesnt developing. They have in fact he had actually there almost like children, because I've only been cognizant fur by years, right so they're trying to figure out who they are, and I think that's really interesting, also the idea of like what memories and emotions conceived through if you're severed, because that is does Love transcend separate rights right Jack member those things. So does this mean we ve lost? You esben still have a comedy guy, you know, There was an now I'm just not good out how I get straight, no immediately. You can edit that out when I walk out the other falling north sea that want to see to it that we have now more accommodating now. I think I love acting. I love doing comedy. It's been a while, since I've actually decide.

to do it. I'd love to do it in the future. It just kind of figuring out how to you know how to jump back in you know when I felt like you were in one of your own comedy movies is: when does that clip that went viral of you with the the australian tennis player you're, going to see this, It will misconstrue what's happening, because I think he was talking to someone else in the ground. The weirdest thing yeah, so we're like in the front row as Indian Wells, tennis and Basically what happened was It was the curious he is. Was he talks? self a lot during the matches, and he kept on saying oh man cave for a serving gator for a servant, and there was a gentleman next to me. decided when he started served to tell him you get your first servant. Nuclear is like turns it does what he why? Why are you talking to me? Do you play tennis? Are you a good tennis player and the guys like know, and then you listen

It looks at me and goes: do I tell him how to act and I'm like- and I didn't even quite hear it so I thought he might have been talking to me and then that was it and then apparently it went viral everywhere in the social. Some people understood what was happening, but other most people thought that you had beef with a tennis.

And I didn't know what to do.

before we go. You and refugee operations in Ukraine and neighbouring countries to help millions of people have been forced to flee. So, if you can, please don't needs at the link below to help provide lifesaving protection to ukrainian refugees until tomorrow, stay safe out there and remember.
