Speaker 5: thank you everybody.
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you boy.
Speaker 5: You know what happened backstage? I'm standing backstage. A guy
Speaker 5: comes over and he says he's from CBS, and then
Speaker 5: he fired me.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, cat astray.
Speaker 4: What is going right over there?
Speaker 5: I will say, And I have every right to be
Speaker 5: pissed off, so I'll just I'll be pissed off here
Speaker 5: a little bit.
Speaker 4: Because this theater.
Speaker 5: You folks wouldn't be in this theater if it weren't
Speaker 5: for me, and Stephen wouldn't be here if it weren't
Speaker 5: for me, and we we rebuilt this theater, and then
Speaker 5: Stephen came in and look at this.
Speaker 4: It's like the Belagio. But listen as well as we are.
Speaker 3: What is wrong them?
Speaker 4: Nothing's wrong Dave.
Speaker 5: As we as we all understand, you can take a
Speaker 5: man's show, you can't take a man's voice.
Speaker 4: So that's the good news of me. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 3: Oh that's very kind of you.
Speaker 4: You know what, I'm really worried about.

Speaker 1: We're We've got a plan to put them in a
Speaker 1: captive breeding program.

Speaker 2: Really great banter between the two. So Steven invited Dave back.
Speaker 2: I won't spoil it.

Speaker 3: The Pope?
Speaker 1: I'm still angling for the Pope? I still I listen.
Speaker 1: I'm a devout Catholic. I've talked about it on TV.
Speaker 1: I think that's got to earn me some points, right,
Speaker 1: Vatican works.
Speaker 5: Anytime you talk about something on TV, you got to
Speaker 5: be right in there.
Speaker 4: Buddy. You had you would have your own office in
Speaker 4: Vatican City. You're talking about it on TV.
Speaker 1: I'm be good, But you never had the Pope, did
Speaker 1: you six seven times?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Wow, JP two.
Speaker 4: We always I get a kick out of you.
Speaker 5: Bring in the big hat now, but seriously, but all
Speaker 5: of this is fantastic.
Speaker 4: This is not hotel stuff.
Speaker 1: This is beautiful, all custom made, all custom made, dave
Speaker 1: really expensive.
Speaker 5: It looks like from Is this from Wayne and Schuster?
Speaker 5: Is that where this comeshm?
Speaker 1: Yes, it's from Socco and Vanzetti's.
Speaker 4: Pw off a van Who owns this stuff? And what
Speaker 4: do you have?
Speaker 1: It's all this is an Eames like a very expensive
Speaker 1: probably fifteen hundred Pronouncedames. I don't know, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You're fancier than I am.
Speaker 4: But that's certainly not true.
Speaker 3: Okay, but all this was.
Speaker 1: Custom made by when we when we renovated, owns it
Speaker 1: is what I'm doing, owns everything. Oh this is CBS
Speaker 1: prop All belongs to the paramount CBS Corporation.
Speaker 4: Now wait a minute, are they affiliated with sky Dance? Yes?
Speaker 1: I believe we are all sky Dancers now yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is nice to be ashamed of. Something happened
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 3: It would be it would be the same day they
Speaker 3: were BA.
Speaker 5: Where I'm talking about Gene see the Jane Crest yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Alright, guys pointing, all right, welcome back.
Speaker 3: So I was, what's happening here, Dave?
Speaker 4: You know, you know, we know what to do?
Speaker 5: You know what we got to Ohio.
Speaker 2: So at that point some guys came out and took
Speaker 2: away the two guest chairs and Steven's chair. We will
Speaker 2: get back to what was happening there. So now the
Speaker 2: guys have nowhere to go, and they go sit in
Speaker 2: the audience for a little bit.
Speaker 5: The memories are infinite coming back here, more so this
Speaker 5: time than I was on. You were nice enough to
Speaker 5: invite me on a couple of years ago. That was
Speaker 5: a big emotion packed moment as well. The memories now
Speaker 5: because this thing has come to a screeching halt by
Speaker 5: other hands. And I guess the connection to my mother
Speaker 5: through the Late Show. She and I had a well
Speaker 5: you know what mothers are like, right.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: And I think my mother and I only really finally
Speaker 5: became close when she was part of the Late Show
Speaker 5: production and we sent her to Norway.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 5: And people to this day, like that fellow, that misguided
Speaker 5: man back there, always tell me they loved my mother
Speaker 5: more than they did me on the show, and That
Speaker 5: still pisses me off.
Speaker 4: And I think the reason.
Speaker 5: We were not so close earlier in our lives is
Speaker 5: because she was named American Miss American Taciturn ninety years
Speaker 5: in a row. Here's a conversation that I used to
Speaker 5: have with my mother, David, that's not funny. We sent
Speaker 5: her to Norway and when she got back, I said, Mom,
Speaker 5: did you see any of the Fjords?
Speaker 4: Yes? They were beautiful. Yes.
Speaker 5: And then I said, well, what about Chevy's? Did you
Speaker 5: see any Chevys? Now here's a memorable, all telling conversation.
Speaker 5: And I don't want you to read into this all negativity,
Speaker 5: because I'm sure.
Speaker 4: It was good fun I get a call at the house.
Speaker 4: My wife and I are.
Speaker 5: It's a Saturday, and we're making Saturday evening dinner.
Speaker 4: The phone ringers, It's hello, David. It's mom. Oh, hi, Mom?
Speaker 4: What can I do for it?
Speaker 5: Well, we've finished our estate planning and you're not in
Speaker 5: the will.
Speaker 2: And friends. Let me take the break here, but let
Speaker 2: me tell you, sometimes, if you live long enough, you
Speaker 2: get everything you ever wanted.
Speaker 5: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will continue with Dave
Speaker 5: Letterman right after this.
Speaker 2: All right, we are back at the Ed Sullivan Theater.
Speaker 2: We are on the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater.
Speaker 2: One might call it a five story tower. Up on
Speaker 2: the roof are the moving guys from before, the two
Speaker 2: guest chairs and Steven Cole Bear's chair, And here we
Speaker 2: are at the top of a tower. What might possibly happen?
Speaker 2: Let's listen, Dave, Could you.
Speaker 1: Mind telling the folks out there watching TV where we
Speaker 1: are right now?
Speaker 4: This is like being back home for me.
Speaker 5: We are on the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater
Speaker 5: building and I couldn't be happier.
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful view from up here.
Speaker 1: Would you share with the people why we are on
Speaker 1: the roof of the Ed Salton right now?
Speaker 5: I thought maybe tonight's occasion would be a little sad,
Speaker 5: being the end of your run here, but this brings
Speaker 5: true joy to my heart. We are up here for
Speaker 5: the wanton destruction of CBS property.
Speaker 3: Now I know for many years I enjoyed this as
Speaker 3: a viewer. You can throw things off the Ed solved
Speaker 3: Right building. This is a true story. When I first
Speaker 3: got this gig, one of the.
Speaker 1: First things they told me before we even moved into
Speaker 1: the offices is that I would not be allowed to
Speaker 1: throw anything off of the roof of the ed Solivant
Speaker 1: building because.
Speaker 3: Evidently there was a problem with a previous tenant.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm so excited about this, so am I? All right?
Speaker 3: So I was never allowed to do this, but we get.
Speaker 4: It in all the time.
Speaker 3: I never did it. But we're at the end here,
Speaker 3: so all bets are off.
Speaker 4: Let's get to it.
Speaker 5: Let's go all right, this is These are the guys
Speaker 5: did the heavy workfuls cripple Jean.
Speaker 3: Yehi, guys, guy, thanks.
Speaker 4: For helping you.
Speaker 5: Guys will verify that this is actually CBS property, right, Okay,
Speaker 5: anytime you're ready.

Speaker 1: I think we should have a target, don't you.
Speaker 4: Right down there? My friends, I think circular like there, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I got the target. Here is the CBS ie logo.
Speaker 2: I have shared this in the Facebook group Daily Comedy
