On Wednesday’s “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert had on as a guest Dr. Anthony Fauci. But instead of a traditional interview, the pair taped a fairly fun sketch to promote the latest COVID-19 vaccine booster.
You can watch the whole clip at the top of the page now.In the sketch, Colbert and Fauci left “The Late Show” studio and walked down to a pharmacy so that Fauci could get the latest booster shot. On the way, Colbert had some fun by asking Fauci to prove he’s a native New Yorker by repeating some famous catch phrases associated with the city.Once they got to the pharmacy, Colbert and Fauci took a minute to pal around in the store. First Colbert joked that he’d be willing to buy condoms for Fauci if the doctor wanted some.
Next, they took a detour through the Halloween section, where Colbert had a novel suggestion.“OK, now I know you want to convince people to go get this shot, right? It’s the cool thing to do. OK, what could be more compelling than getting the shot with a pair of sexy kitten ears on?” Colbert said. Naturally, they both put them on and, after some cajoling, Fauci joined Colbert in saying “don’t forget to get your booster” directly at the camera.After that they tried on some novelty sunglasses before heading over to actually get the booster.
The highlight of this part of the clip was when Colbert asked the pharmacist if he was intimidated giving the booster to Fauci. “It’s Anthony Fauci, that’s like pouring a drink for Jack Daniels,” Colbert joked.“He’s actually only the third most famous person I’ve vaccinated,” the pharmacist said. This of course became Colbert’s obsession and he repeatedly tried to get the pharmacist to tell him who else he vaccinated.“I can’t tell you that,” the pharmacist said.

wants to testify — comparing him to Jack Nicholson’s character in “A Few Good Men” — so that he can formally take credit for inciting such masses, Navarro was skeptical that it’d even be possible for Trump to appear in court this late in the investigation.“Listen, the subpoena yesterday, that’s mostly symbolic. Trump is not going to show up,” Navarro said bluntly. “He’s not going to show up, and there’s no time before the elections, and there’s not time before this committee disbands for him to show up.”Navarro added that she’s so angry at this point, but all that can really be done is for people to vote, and vote Trump allies out of office.

used to be an FBI agent, all of his secret children, and lying that he didn’t lie about graduating from the University of Georgia.“He not only lied, he lied about lying? What kind of lesson does that teach his secret children?” Colbert joked.Colbert then noted the evidence provided by the woman in question, and then ran down the bizarre interview Walker had with Sean Hannity on Monday, in which he pretended not to know anything about the “get well” card. After a clip of Walker claiming he can’t remember because he sends out so many cards, Colbert continued.
Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Less than a year ago, Paramount Global found a new reason to cheer about the midnight hour. In December, the company did something few of its competitors could do: It struck a deal with Google to have three different late-night hosts weave a promotional message about the search-engine giant into their programs. On the night of December 15, Stephen Colbert, James Corden and Trevor Noah all nodded to Google during CBS’ “Late Show” and “Late Late Show” and Comedy Central’s “Daily Show.” The ad deal represented a vote of confidence in a sturdy portfolio of late-night programs that spanned broadcast and cable. Now, a good chunk of the talent in that collection is gearing up to move.

On “The Late Show” Thursday, Stephen Colbert spent some time mocking the weirdness of modern-day Republican ads. If you’ve watched any, you know: The extreme gun fetishization; the violence both implied and direct; the baked-in hostility; weird music. And then he showed what it would be like if one of the Republican Party’s most celebrated political ads ever — made for the most-celebrated Republican ever — had been made in 2022 instead of 1984.For his monologue, Colbert focused on an ad produced by right wing congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose new reelection commercial features some pretty weird stuff.
“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert found the funny in certain uber-rich Americans falling lower on the Forbes’ wealthiest list for 2022.After opening his monologue with a detailed dissection – for joke purposes – of the revelations about former President Donald Trump from Maggie Haberman’s as-yet-unreleased book, Colbert spent a little time on the topic of Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg dropping out of Forbes’ Top 10 wealthiest Americans list.“Here’s a little something that might bring a smile to your face. For the first time since the great recession, the super rich did not get richer this year,” Colbert began.
He continued: “Dr. Oz has been trailing in the polls for the whole race behind Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor and half-finished Willie Willie, John Fetterman.

Noted Tolkien expert Stephen Colbert was bummed a little during his monologue on Monday with the news that Italy’s new neo-fascist Prime Minister is apparently really, really into “the Lord of the Rings.”And in explaining why it doesn’t make sense for extreme right wingers to love Tolkien’s legendarium, he nerded out so much even his own camera started to drift off.“The part that hurts the most for me personally,” Colbert said after explaining the situation, “is that Meloni, who leads a party that has often been described as neo-fascist, claims to be a big Tolkien fan, who used to dress up as a hobbit.”“No! No! Or, as they say in Italian, no. Don’t you ruin the ‘Lord of the Rings.’ No self-respecting adult dresses like a hobbit.
