it's stephen colbert! [cheers and applause] >> stephen: hey! ♪ ♪ have a good show. thank you, everybody. please have a seat, ladies and gentlemen. welcome. welcome one and all through the "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. and you are here for a very special show because tonight is my 60th birthday! fun fact: i am now the same age that ian mckellen was when he was cast as gandalf. and i feel fine about that. he was gandalf the grey. i am stephen the very white.

in honor of my birthday, this weekend, the skies all over the northern hemisphere were lit up by the aurora borealis. so beautiful. this extra vivid display was caused by a massive solar storm in which large, explosive bursts from the sun started slamming into the earth. or to put that in layman's terms: god was on shrooms, and was hankerin' for a little laser zeppelin. the lights were so bright they could be seen as far south as florida, where governor desantis immediately banned the sky for displaying a pride flag. [cheering] desantis fans! oh, i also got my birthday wish: donald trump is still on trial. this week... what week is this? three, four? this is four. this is week four of testimony in his "faking business records to cover up bangin' a porn star trial," featuring star witness,

former fixer and silly putty who isn't feeling that silly these days, michael cohen. cohen's testimony is essential to proving the prosecution's case because he served as the middle man in the alleged $130,000 hush money payment to stormy daniels. now, you never wanna be the middle man between your boss and a porn star. sure, it sounds titillating when they ask, but eventually, it's a tangle of limbs and you're just kind of watching. but there's a challenge for the prosecution. cohen's been attacking his former boss online, posting insulting tiktok livestreams, where he has discussed trump, the ongoing trial, and the testimony already underway, which is not great. but it's not the worst online behavior by a former trump associate. that title goes to steve bannon's only fans. now... [laughter]

when he took the stand this morning, cohen testified that before trump's 2015 presidential announcement, trump told him: "just be prepared. there's going to be a lot of women coming forward." "mickey, be warned, you're going to have to pay karen, stormy, dusty, misty, cristy, crispy, crunchy, crinkly, and gristly. and of course one married woman: mrs. butterworth. that was my true love. sweet lady. also very buttery." then we got to the porn stariness of it all. remember: trump's whole defense is "i never slept with stormy daniels, and i didn't pay her to be quiet. michael cohen paid her to be quiet because he's such a great guy who i hope is torn apart by wild dogs, and i only paid him what i thought were legal fees. and if i did anything at all,

i did everything i did, which i didn't do, to protect my wife from finding out the things i never did." [cheers and applause] never, always. and sometimes. here we go. cohen's testimony today was terrible for trump. according to cohen, after the "access hollywood" tape came out, they found out stormy daniels was also shopping her story around. cohen testified: "trump said to me, this is a disaster. total disaster. women are going to hate me. guys may think it's cool, but this is going to be a disaster for the campaign. unless, unless everyone finds out about it someday and learns all the dirty details, goes on trial, i sit there, sleeping and farting, then somehow it's good for my campaign." and as far as this affecting his marriage goes, according to cohen, trump wasn't worried

about melania leaving him, saying: "don't worry. how long do you think i'll be on the market for? not long." [booing] coincidentally, "not long," is how stormy described it. [cheering] it's my birthday! it's my birthday joke! but it's true. he would be off the market soon. i mean, he's clearly past his expiration date. he'd be playin' the field. "i'm gonna be all over the apps. tinder, bumble, seamless, grubhub. ladies. delivery is free, but guac is extra!" trump held a rally at the jersey shore this weekend and did exactly what you're supposed to do at the jersey shore: hang out with friends, try to forget about your upcoming court dates, and never go in the water. it all happened in the town of wildwood, which, if you've never been there before, imagine if a bootleg "rick and morty" shirt was somehow a place.

in his speech, trump addressed the number one issue for voters: a 33-year-old movie. >> "silence of the lamb." has anyone ever seen it? >> stephen: oh, i love "silence of the lamb." it's one of my favorite movie, right up there with "star war," "dance with wolf," and "jaw." [cheers and applause] sure. guac is extra. he went on. >> "silence of the lambs"? the late, great hannibal lecter. he's a wonderful man. he oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. but hannibal lecter, congratulations, the late, great hannibal lecter. >> stephen: late, great? in none of the stories does hannibal lecter die, and sir anthony hopkins is very much still alive. does trump just think a character dies

when he turns off the tv? "well, another great episode of wheel. rest in peace. the late, great pat sajak. we'll always remember how much you loved the alphabet. congratulations. you are dead." all of this, all of this. [applause] this stuff is all part of trump's demonizing immigrants and claiming that other countries are sending mentally ill people to the border. he helpfully broke the situation down. >> the mentalinstitution population is down because they're taking people from insane asylums and from mental institution -- you know what the difference is, right? an insane asylum is a mental institution on steroids. >> stephen: oh, yeah. yeah. there's definitely a ranking system. it goes mental institution, insane asylum, nut house, looney bin, booby hatch, rfk jr.

[applause] wildwood got wild-weirder because trump then brought up this important issue. >> hot dogs. let's talk about hot dogs. i just had one, actually. frank sinatra told me a long time ago, "never eat before you perform." i said "i'm not performing. i'm a politician, if you can believe it." but i just had the best hot dog so i said, "frank, i'm sorry." [laughter] >> stephen: frank sinatra has been dead since the late '90s. was he talking to the late, great frank sinatra or directly to an all-beef frank? "frank, i'm so sorry. oh, god. the massacre."

[applause] trump then moved on to his tax plan and made just as much sense. >> instead of a biden tax hike, i'll give you a trump middle class, upper class, lower class, business class big tax cut. >> stephen: ran out of classes there, didn't ya? "i'm talking lower class, business class, first class, delta one, comfort plus. we love comfort plus, don't we? sounds like it would be a streaming service, but it's not. comfort plus. it's a chair. exit row! you get more leg room but it's also a job. you got the door. you gotta take care of the door. will you take the door off? i don't know, what's in it for me? not die? you drive a hard bargain. i love the slide." trump also took some time to reminisce about his family. >> i had a father, he was great.

my mother was great. they're looking down now, they're up there in heaven, definitely in heaven. >> stephen: "they're up there with the late, great, hannibal lecter. probably enjoying hello, dad. probably enjoying a nice dinner together. congratulations, hannibal, you ate my dad. what an honor. say hi to pat sajak for me." of course, yesterday was also mother's day, so he sent a special message to his special lady. >> i also want to say happy mother's day to all the moms in america and especially to my wife, melania. i'll be home in a little while. >> stephen: ooh, just when she was having such a nice mother's day. we got a great show for you tonight! my guest is steve carell and later, we've got a performance by paul simon. stick around.

[cheering] thank you thank you. and as i mentioned, this is a big one. 60. it's the kind of milestone that makes you reflect. but i have to say, i think aging is a good thing. >> steve: you are wrong, stephen! [cheering] >> stephen: what's that? my good friend steve carell? steve, i was just explaining to the good people here that i

believe that growing older is actually wonderful. >> steve: and i was just shocked to hear how wrong you were. >> stephen: hmm. it seems like we're at an impasse, a disagreement. >> steve: interesting. it kind of reminds me of that long-running debate segment we did on "the daily show," "even stevphen." >> stephen: yes it does! what say we settle this the old fashioned way? >> steve: pistols at dawn! >> stephen: i was thinking "even stevphen." >> steve: mmm, i still like the pistol idea... but sure, let's do it! you just made me vomit in my own mouth. what's the weather liek up your own ass? tonight's topic: aging. is it good? >> steve: no, it isn't. >> stephen: yes, it is. >> steve: no. >> stephen: yes.

>> steve: no! stephen, we are born astride a grave, and each day, the cruel grasp of time pulls us closer to oblivion. you will never be younger than you are in this moment, and let's face it, my friend: you haven't aged well. >> stephen: wrong as usual, steve. age ripens us like a fine wine, because with age comes experience, with experience comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes the ability to see you for what you are: a sad, dumb idiot. >> steve: stephen, if you're so wise, you should know that the best years are behind you. you're just speeding toward the next exit on the highway of life: incontinence city. population: your pants. for all we know, it's already happened. how come you never get up from behind this desk? >> stephen: steve, i just did

the monologue right over there! >> steve: you were younger then. we haven't seen you stand in minutes. you're decaying before our eyes, grampa. can you still hear me, stephen? do you know who i am? >> stephen: oh, yes, i recognize you. you're kirkland brand ricky gervais. steve, aging is a reward for a life well lived. at 60, walking counts as exercise, i can pull my pants up as high as i want, and no one judges me for eating dinner at 4:30. my dessert is three more hours of daylight. >> steve: the only thing bigger than your denial is the font on your phone, old man! >> stephen: you're older than i am! steve, you're 61. >> steve: shut up! >> stephen: there's nothing wrong with being 61. >> steve: yes, there is! do you know what happens to men in hollywood after they turn 60? they pair us with women in their 30s. 30s, stephen!

>> stephen: so sorry. i had no idea... and i thought at this point you worked mainly with minions. [cheers and applause] >> steve: ha-ha, stephen.& good one! i didn't know you were allowed to tell jokes on this show. i better alert the network you've gone rogue! hello, cbs... see, that's how old i am. i still do this to signify a phone. hey, cbs, come quick! there's something wrong with your oldest sheldon! >> stephen: i'm very happy with this job, steve. i get to talk to some of the most famous and fascinating people in the world. and on other nights, i get to talk to you. >> steve: i'm sorry if i'm not as exciting as a paid integration with nissan or the 4:00 p.m. anchor on msnbc!

>> stephen: she has a name, steve! and i don't know what it is. just admit it, carrel. of all people, you should be grateful for every passing year. each one adding more distance between you and "welcome to marwen." >> steve: not all of us have the gravitas to be cast in "the love guru." >> stephen: says the guy who was in the 2005 "bewitched" movie! >> steve: we were both in that movie! >> stephen: okay, that one is a draw. but you know what, steve? i am grateful for aging, because i'm grateful for my growth. why would i want to live in the past, where you and i were forced to share an office at a little cable show, where we could explore our comedic voices late into the night, basking in the joy of discovery as we'd passionately argue two, sometimes three times a week. i don't need that anymore. in fact, i like it that these days, we argue at most once a year. usually on my birthday.

when you stop by for a pity fight. >> steve: wait. is that what this is all about? do you miss arguing with me? are you worried that the spark has gone out? >> stephen: well, it's just that as we get older, it is a little harder to get your anger up. [laughter] >> steve: stephen, it's okay. we may not argue as much as we used to, but that doesn't make it any less sweet when we do. >> stephen: so you think as we get older, our relationship changes but maybe it also deepens? >> steve: no. >> stephen: wait a second.

are you just saying no to be argumentative? >> steve: yes. >> stephen: wait a second. did we just disagree twice in one night? >> steve: sure did, buddy. >> stephen: we still got it. >> steve: and stephen, i will always be here for you. >> stephen: promise? >> steve: yes, absolutely. anytime i have something to promote. >> stephen: thanks, steve. that means a lot coming from [cheers and applause] thanks, steve. that means a lot coming from an elder. >> steve: by like a year! >> stephen: tick tock, my friend. >> steve: happy birthday, you dusty hag! >> stephen: thank you, you hideous crone. we'll be right back with very old man steve carell! ♪ [song playing - here comes the hotstepper by ini kamoze] ♪

checkoff? >> steve: it's a dream, obviously, to perform on broadway. i got a call and they were interested in having me play this part. i had waited because i didn't want to do it when my kids were little. it's a big time commitment. yu have mondays off. you can't go back and forth. there is no going back to visit. it seemed like the right time to do something like this. it's been thrilling, really fun. >> stephen: people don't realize. it's russian and its chekov. it sounds very serious. beautiful stories, beautiful characterizations, really relevant to our present human heart but chekov is also funny. >> steve: he is. he described this as a comedy in the first act at a tragedy by the fourth act but there's a lot of humor in it. >> stephen: chekov and ibsen, over 100 years ago, why do you think it still feels like it could have been written yesterday? >> steve: it really does.

themes are relevant. the ecology and climate change, women's rights. all of these things that at that time my not have been on everybody's lips but now they certainly are. he was way, way ahead. he was relatable because he writes characters that are relatable in this day and age and family situations are relatable in this day and age. >> stephen: as i was saying before, you and i were on stage in chicago doing live theater for years together at second city. [cheering] 350 seat house. 325, something like that. nice sized but cabaret seating. what is this experience now to be back in front of a live audience for the first time in a long time. how does that compare -- obviously it's a broadway audience. doesn't have cocktail waitresses. >> steve: it is a discerning audience to be sure but it was remarkably similar in terms of

getting on stage. >> stephen: do they yell out suggestions? >> steve: they do. >> stephen: proctologist! >> steve: similar in terms of the muscle memory of an on stage and doing it again. it have been many, many years since i done anything on stage. my question is, when are you going to do broadway?
