Back in 1995, Drew Barrymore famously danced on David Letterman’s desk and flashed him during her Late Show appearance. It is one of the most memorable moments in late night television.
Yesterday, she was back in that same theater, but this time it was Stephen Colbert behind the desk.
The actress said to him that she has spent some time there, but with Letterman. Then Colbert said, “I am only mildly insulted that you never got on the desk.
And with that, she took off her jacket to reveal that her shirt says, “I ❤️ STEPHEN.” Then she got on his desk and started dancing.
Did she flash him? Nope. Because there is a big difference between being 20 and being 50.
Even without seeing her E and T, he still loved every second of it.
Jamie Lee Curtis has been around celebrities since her father’s sperm entered her mother’s egg. You see, her parents, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, are Hollywood royalty from the Golden Age of movies.
So you would think she has never asked a celebrity for an autograph, unless they were someone like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, David Cassidy, or Elizabeth Taylor. And you would be wrong.
Yesterday, when she was on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert asked her questions from The Colbert Questionert.
One of the things he wanted to know is if she ever asked anyone for the John Hancock. At first, she could not think of anyone. But then she started giggling uncontrollably.
After 35 seconds, she finally blurted out, “Urkle.” While still laughing, she revealed she got it for her child and keeps that signature in her daughter’s scrapbook.
How was the late night host going to get her to stop laughing? The next question was, “What do you think happens when we die? Talk about a buzzkill.
He had a few more questions, but it was the last one that touched our hearts. What was it? He wanted her to describe the rest of her life in five words. They are: “Free. Married. Mommy. Grandmoomy. Loved!”
We can help her with the last one. Although she should know by now, she is very much loved by all of us, and that is not going to change anytime soon.
A few weeks ago, we found out that Stephen Colbert is going to guest on the season premiere of Elsbeth as a late night host.
Now, we are learning from Deadline that Andy Richter will play the hilarious but long-suffering sidekick to Scotty (Colbert) on the fictional Way Late. Richter’s character is married to Amy Sedaris, who will play the headstrong, devoted head writer and executive producer.
My prediction is that they will scheme to and successfully murder Colbert, who has said he wants to play a corpse on the police procedural, so that they can take over Way Late. However, they won’t get away with murder because Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) will figure it out.
Richter should have no problem with the role, after all, he was Conan O’Brien’s sidekick for over 25 years on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, and Conan.
The season premiere airs October 12th on CBS (unless Donald Trump gets it cancelled), and I can’t wait to see it! It will probably be the funniest show of the week…if South Park isn’t on that week.
Back in February, Wendell Pierce was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and the host told him he wanted to play a corpse on the police procedural. And the actor said he would make it happen.
Well, he did. According to Vulture, Colbert is going to play the host of Way Late with Scotty Bristol in that episode, which is filming now.
CBS has not confirmed his appearance, but Josef Adalian is speculating that it will be on the special season premiere that will air after an NFL game on October 12th.
The casting, which has been in the works for a while, is even more exciting because of the late night show’s cancellation a few weeks ago.
Last week, CBS cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and a lot of people are speculating that Donald Trump played a part in it. That is because Paramount just settled a lawsuit with the president over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. They believe that part of that agreement was the cancellation of Colbert’s show, due to the fact that he has been a vocal opponent of Trump since he came down the escalator.
After the cancellation went public, Mr. Orange said he loved that Colbert was fired. However, what he didn’t realize is that Colbert still has ten months left of his contract. That’s right. From now until May, the host can say whatever he wants, and there is nothing potus can do about it. I mean, he has already been fired. What are they going to do, fire him again?
So, yesterday, Colbert got in the ring, took off the gloves, and went below the belt. He did this by showing us that Trump’s scribbled signature is like the pubic hair of a naked lady drawn on a birthday card to a former BFF, Jeffrey Epstein. And now that image will forever be stuck in my head.
Back to the monologue. Colbert had a message for his enemy: “Go fuck yourself!” And the audience loved it, as did I.
They also loved it when he came out of commercial break and brought out Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to cheer him up with a song. The two songwriters picked a Coldplay song to perform as the camera panned the audience and showed the other East Coast late night hosts, Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver, supporting him.
Because these are not the days of Jay Leno and David Letterman, or Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. The late night hosts have banded together, and Trump has opened a can of whoop ass on himself.
Trump is too dumb to realize that you don’t want to pick on the wrong kid because they will fight back and win. If his feelings were hurt before this, just wait. They are just getting started.
