Paul McCartney’s song Wonderful Christmas was named the worst Christmas song ever. Stephen Colbert is not going to let that record stand, so he wrote one that he thinks is worse. Norah Jones and him debuted Christmas Is Now yesterday on The Late Show and my cat loves it. It is her favorite song of the holiday.
I don’t Macca’s song is the worst song of the season. I can’t think which one is worse, can you?
Back in 1976, Carrie Fisher still had some of her baby fat on her and the producers of Star Wars told her she needed to lose some weight to play Princess Leia. Yesterday on The Late Show she told Stephen Colbert how she did it. She went to a fat farm with Lady Bird Johnson and advice columnist Ann Landers. The First Lady couldn’t remember the film title and the Landers had a lot of advice for her that we know she didn’t follow from her autobiographies.
Yes, she sort of talks about her affair with Harrison Ford, but not really. It was cute to see her blush about it.
But it was even more cute to watch Gary steal the show!

There is a new study out that says dogs can understand human language. Stephen Colbert doesn’t believe that and he thinks his best friend only understands, “Anything other than the sound of food hitting the bowl and what other people’s butts smell like.”
I guess his pooch didn’t find that funny (kind of like how most people feel about The Late Show since he took over) and tried to kill his master by cutting a rope that dropped a heavy object right down by him.
If that was a cat, they would’ve gotten the job done!
The Late Show with Stephen added a new segment to his CBS show where celebrities share their Pet Peeves. Mr Taylor Swift, I mean Tom Hiddleston, doesn’t like when people ask him for his autograph, but think he is Michael Fassbender. Sam Rockwell is not a fan of people assuming that he is not a murderer because he played one in The Green Mile.
But the best one was David Duchovny who hates, “When aliens abduct me just so they can’t point out the parts of The X-Files that weren’t realistic.” Let’s be honest here, I bet you he is really mad that they didn’t probe him when they took him up their spaceship. I have heard so much about this probing, I would be pissed if they didn’t do it to me when they had the chance. Wouldn’t you?
A few years ago when Daniel Radcliffe starred in Equus on Broadway and he went fully naked. In a few weeks he is hitting the stage again and Stephen Colbert wanted to know on his Late Show if we are going to see the actor’s magic wand again in Privacy. Harry Potter told him, “I mean, one of the great things about the show is that it is going to be changing on a nightly basis. Based on things the audience is doing, so who knows?
According to Playbill‘s description of the off-Broadway show, “Privacy explores our complicated relationship with technology and data through the funny and heart-breaking travails of a lonely guy (Radcliffe), who arrives in the city to figure out how to like, tag, and share his life without giving it all away. The play uncovers what our technological choices reveal about who we are, what we want and who’s keeping track of it all. This provocative theatrical event will ask audiences to charge their phones, leave them ON during the performance and to embark on a fascinating dive online and into a new reality where we’re all connected…for better or worse.”
I hope that the audience asks for a nude Selfie from him every night! If they he’ll be playing to packed houses every night. Heck, I’d fly across the country to see that.
