Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Extended) | Pedro Pascal

-♪ The World's Best Music Plays -♪ Welcome, welcome one and all in here, out there, all around the world, Mrs. and Mrs. American, all the ships and sea to the late show, I'm your host, Stephen Colbert. Now... We've got House of Time. Leveled out. Long time watchers of this show will know that I'm not usually critical of President Trump. And I take no pleasure from pointing out his rare mistakes. Or minor misstatements, but in the interest of balance, I will remind you, the man got elected in the promise of bringing costs down. Well, the Iran War has pushed inflation to the highest rate in nearly three years. Welcome to Trump's Golden Age. By which I mean it's time to start melting down Grandma's gold. Nana, say ah. You're not using them. Let's go. You go, Nana. According to polls, Americans are already feeling crushed by higher inflation. As CNN quoted one American, my life is not affordable. No one cares. Whatever. Trump was asked about the high prices caused by his Iran War in the latest and possibly final edition of... -♪ The World's Best Music Plays Chopper Talk! So far, so far, his war in Iran has cost the United States at least $30 billion. But that doesn't even count what it's costing Americans at the gas pump. Leading to the question, does Donald Trump care? The answer will not surprise you. What extent are American financial situations motivating you to make a deal? Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. Honestly, I don't care. Honestly, there's not a whole lot going on upstairs. Most of the time, I'm thinking about that little monkey playing the cymbals. Either that or boobs, okay? Sometimes monkey boobs, okay? Monkey C, monkey boob. Sometimes, sometimes, this is just me, sometimes I'm thinking about sea monkey boobs. The other big story was that Donald Trump left the country today. He is going to... I was wondering, hey, what's going on, Warren? Good to see you. He's going to China, and while he's there, there's going to be a lot of pomp and circumstance in banquets, but it's not all fun. Trump is expected to have high-stakes talks with President Xi, whose name must be very triggering for Trump. I've said it a thousand times, you send your little Chinese president to school, ah-hee. And he comes back as she. It's just sad. The president, woo, indeed. The president is very excited to hang out with his old dictator, pal. Here's what he said about him yesterday. I find him to be an amazing, an amazing man. And when I say that, the press always says, oh, that's terrible that he called him. He's going to arrest 1.4 billion people with a pretty iron fist. So he loves Xi because he gets to rule with an iron fist while Trump rules with, I want to say, a surgical glove full of Welch's grape jelly. Last night, Trump prepped for his enormously consequential state visit by staying up late on social media, gunking up the internet tubes with a waterfall of paranoid madness, posting over 55 times in just three hours until 1.13 a.m. My God, when does this man sleep? Oh, right, right. I forgot. There you go. God, God, get you sleep. Oh, mind me something, I gotta tell you something. Not all the news out there is bad. Some of it is bad and funny because, remember last summer, I don't know if you remember, last summer, when Trump rolled out a new phone service called Trump Mobile, featuring this $499 gold Trump branded phone, handsomely styled to look like a skin tag that fell off C-3PO. Now, back when they announced it, I made this little joke about the phone. The T1 phone, which for some reason is in quotes on the website, possibly so they can have plausible deniability when your T1 phone turns out to be a foil-wrapped hash brown. Okay, I mean, that joke wasn't fair. Obviously, when you order this phone, you're not getting hash browns because you're not getting anything. Today we learned the terms on the Trump Mobile site now indicate that the phones may never arrive. Is this true? We actually have footage of one Trump voter waiting to receive her phone. It's been 84 years. And a lot. Trump got, people were excited. His supporters were super excited about this. A year ago, Trump got a lot of pre-orders for these non-existent phones. Reportedly, around 600,000 people put down $100 deposits for the phone way back in June of 2025 when it was announced by Trump's sons, Don Jr. and Eric. Wow, these people didn't even get scammed by the top Trump. How humiliating to get bamboozled by his babies. It's like saying, yeah, I got shaken down by Capone. Not Al, his son, Kyle Capone. He does a podcast. Specifically, the fine print for this phone was updated to say, Trump Mobile does not guarantee that the device will be commercially released. Regulatory approvals will be obtained. Carrier certification will be secured or delivery will occur within any specific timeframe. That is quite the broad caveat. I'm Mark, thank you Wendy to be my wife. Vows do not guarantee that I will love, honor, and cherish with any specific timeframe or that I don't have a secret family in Tucson. In response, people are hella pissed. Take a look at this video from one disgruntled phone buyer. Hey, Trump supporter here. This goes out to Don Jr. and Eric. Where the f*** are my phones? I don't want to agree. No, four gold Trump phones in the summer. Told they're gonna be the best. Talked my son into ordering some. We heard they're gonna come out in September. Yeah, we can f***ing wait. September rolls around. No, it's gonna be November. November, no, it's gonna be the end of the year. They actually stopped taking orders for them in November. Now we can't get any f***ing updates on them. Give me my f***ing phones or give me my money back. Wow, that's understandable. Understandably, I said, though I am curious what that guy is like when he's relaxed. Nothing like sitting on a park bench and sunset feeding the ducks. My only question, where the f*** are my ducks? They're supposed to be here at 6 p.m. Sun's going down. I got a trash bag full of old hot dog mugs and no f***ing ducks. Give me my ducks back. You made me wonder. How did he even post that video if he hasn't gotten his phone yet? It's simple. If you yell out enough, it just shows up on the internet. Hey, quick question, personal question, if you guys don't mind me asking. Anybody going on a cruise this summer? All right, well, do not forget to not do that. Because recently, I don't know if you serve, seen the news, a deadly outbreak of hand to virus stranded a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Sadly, sadly, three people passed away, but now passengers are being disembarked and returned to their home countries for quarantine. This is tough to hear, because I know we're all having flashbacks to COVID, but I want to be clear, hand to virus is different. This time, we know how it works, we know how it spreads, and we know how to stop it. So I'm not worried at all. And yesterday, RFK Jr. was asked about the outbreak and he said this. We have this under control and we're not worried about it. We're all gonna die. Okay. We're gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine. As a refresher, the disease RFK Jr. is not worried about at all, was found on the ship after patient zero contracted the virus during a bird watching visit to a landfill. I mean, who could have seen that coming? My two ravens. Experts are stressing. Experts are stressing the general public shouldn't worry because hand to virus spreads mainly through contact with infected rodent urine, saliva or droppings. So just make sure to wipe down New York City before you use it. All of these reassurances. Okay, well good over there. You guys good? We're good. All of these reassurances haven't stopped people from speculating is hand to virus the next COVID? Well, if it is folks, we're ready, okay? Cause we know how to stop COVID. It hates loud noises. We got a great show for you tonight. Coming up, big questions with even bigger stars. Welcome back. Give up the loose kettle of the great big J.I. machine. Gone. I'm gone, baby. I'm cooked. Stick a fork in. Tonight, Lewis, we have Joey, Louis, Dreyfus and Pedro Pascal. Come on. What more do you people want? Come on. Folks, as we come to the end of the show, it's been making me a little philosophical, I'll admit. And ever since the very first week of this, the late show, when I started feeling that way, I like to head to a special hillside out in the country to ponder deep questions with stars like Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman and Mel Gibson, who I had forgotten was ever on my show. Just forgot. I just forgot. Well, it's time to head back to that hillside one last time for big questions with even bigger stars. Wow. Man, oh man. Stars sure are beautiful tonight. We sure are. Yeah. Julia Louis Dreyfus, what are you doing up here? Sometimes I come up here to contemplate powerful, profound ideas. And also to get away from people who keep demanding a Seinfeld reunion. Totally, totally, yeah. But hey, it would be pretty cool if you guys- Hey, Steven. Yeah, Julia? What do you think is the difference between living and being alive? A second cup of coffee. Hey, hey, Julia? Yeah, Steven. Is violence ever the answer? No, it's too many letters for the wordle. Hey, Steven? Yeah, yeah, Julia? If you went insane, do you think you would know? Oh, oh, of course. I'm sure my neighbor's dog would tell me. Ooh, stars, shouldn't start shooting stars. Oh, I see. Good guy. Hey, hey, JLD? Yeah, STC? Do you have any regrets in life? Just one. Can you do anything about it? Nah, I'm already here. Hey, Steve. Yeah, Jules? Where do you think you'll be in five years? Ooh, probably getting asked that same question by the parole board. Hey, hey, Julia, Louis, Dreyfus? Yeah, Steven, Louis, Colbert? Do you think it's possible to ever know anything for certain? No, I don't. You sure about that? Yes. Oh. Whoa. Whoa. Hey, Steven, with a pH? Yeah, Julia, without either of those letters. What do you think we'd find at the farthest end of the universe? A bunch of lost AirPods. Hey, hey, Jay? Yeah, S? Would you rather? Dan rather? Oh, yeah, in his prime, absolutely. Total Smoke Show. Total Smoke Show. Hey, Colby Cheese? Yeah, juju B? You wanna play rock, paper, scissors? Oh, yeah, I'd love to. I'll go screw rock, marry scissors, kill paper. Hey, Julia, Louis, Dreyfus, star of Veep? Yeah, Steven, Colbert, fan of Veep. Do you think plants feel pain? I hope so. Right before I came out here, I nut punched a hydrangea. And it knows why. Hey, Steve-o? Yeah, Julio? Do you think it's possible to read somebody's thoughts? Oh, absolutely. It helps if they write them down first. Hey, Jewel? Yeah, stool. But why do we eat certain animals, like chickens and cows, but not others, like dogs or dolphins? We're not supposed to eat dolphins? Oh, good, good, cause I don't find them tasty. Hey, Steve-Corell? Yeah, Juliette, Louis? What do you think is life's most unanswerable question? I'd have to say it's, why is every airport covered with ads for the city it's in? You don't need to sell me at this point. I bought a ticket to St. Louis. I was ready to be there. Hey, my dear and true friend, Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Yeah, host of some show I'm currently on. Do you believe we all die alone? Oh, when you strangle someone, you're right there with them. Hey, Steven, you can't believe in? Yeah, Julia, no fooling you. What do you think happens when this all ends? Oh, I think, I think I'll probably start a podcast. We'll be right back with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Ladies and gentlemen, my first guest tonight is a comedy legend. You know her from Seinfeld, the new adventures of old Christine and Veep. Please welcome back to the late show Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Thank you. Lovely to see you again, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Lovely to see you, Mr. Your vision as usual. Thank you, SRU, my goodness. Thank you very much. Very lovely. Now, this is unusual. Yes, tell me. Because this is the first time any guest on the show has requested of my producers a clip of my own show for them to roll. I do not know what you're about to show, but my producer says there's some clip I'm supposed to set you up for. What is it? What is it? Oh, I'll tell you. I believe it's from last night, I think. Really? Yeah. You were with other talk show hosts. Yeah, yeah, The Strike Force. And it was part of your conversation. Okay. Yvonne? Have you guys ever made out with a guest on camera? Sally Field, Helen Mirren. Oh, good. Oh, Allison Janney. Jeff Daniels. Jeff Daniels. And, um, what? Andrew Garfield. I don't know. He's Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda and I did not, Jane Fonda did not, we did not make out but she stuck her tongue in my ear. No one's watching. No, it's just between us. What harm is there? None. What could possibly go wrong? Brad is larger than I am. I guess, I guess now you'll have to reshoot the episode from last night. That section. That section. Yeah. Yeah. Go back, go back in time. Yeah. Well, the interview is going great so far. In my opinion. Let's just cut everything. Let's just cut all of that and start over, shall we? Oh, won't we just do another take? Yeah, sure. The showbiz. No. No. Julia, my last show is Thursday. A week from Thursday. No, not this Thursday. A week from Thursday. Yes. And, uh, we're having a good time. You know, it's not real yet because we're still having a good time. Yeah, of course. We do so many of these shows. It feels like we've got 1,000 left. Yeah. Everyone's so hard. But you've ended many long-running shows. And I'm just curious, do you have any advice on, like, how to approach the end or how to handle that? Do you drink? I'm pretty good at it. You'll be fine. Really? Yeah. Totally. You'll be fine. Do you have a drink you recommend? Hard liquor, wine, beer? Shall I play this out or just hit it with a ten? All of the above, baby. Just hit it. In place. I'm the world's biggest Veep fan. Yeah. As you know. I can quote Veep anywhere in the, drop a needle into any episode and I could probably do the next couple of months. It's bizarre. I know. It's not, I'm not well. I know. And I said to you once, actually, that I love Veep so much that you make me feel like being abusive might be a good management style. You know? Because I just love the character so much that maybe it's honest, you know? Yeah. What do you think about that? I think it's a good thing. You know? Yeah. What do you think about that idea? Well, I think it's just a terrible idea to be abusive. Did you identify with, you know? Oh, yes, I did. Yeah. I mean, I mean, that is to say she was a toddler grown up. She was a toddler inside an adult body. I can't imagine if there's anybody else like that out there. Now, because the show is ending soon, this might be the last time I can force you to talk about Veep with me in public. So I'm going to take advantage of it right now. For the occasion, the Veep showrunner, Dave Mandel, he sent us some behind the scenes footage from the final season of you really having trouble getting through a scene with Tony. Tony Hale. Tony Hale, okay, who plays Gary. And you couldn't make it through the scene. Do you know what this is? Do you know what we're about to see? I do, actually. Okay. Can you just set up what is happening? Well, I'll tell you. We were, shall we say, inspired by, there is a piece written about actually Barack Obama. He, late at night, when he's trying to sort of get through his work, he would treat himself to seven almonds in the Oval Office to energize. Sure. He sounds like fun. Yeah. A healthy snack. And so that got incorporated. And in this particular scene, Selena is under enormous strain and it's about to lose the presidency, really. And so this is our version of that. Yvonne? Do you want six almonds? No! Do you want six almonds? No! No! No! No! Do you want six almonds? No! Okay. Is that me then? Oh my God. Oh my God. Now you have a new film. I do. You're aware of this. I am aware. You're a new film. Yes. A new film was called The Sheep. Yes, it is. And the people know. Yeah. But the people who don't know, if you don't mind, I'm going to explain it to you. It gets a little technical here. Go ahead. But it's about sheep who are detectives. Right? Yes. That's it. Now was that how it was explained to you? It was. And what was, I'm just curious, a woman of your accomplishment. Yes. And obviously the film is hitting, it's hitting a nerve with the, look, look. The, Vulture, the talking sheep movie made me cry. Yeah. Like this. I can't believe the Hugh Jackman sheep movie is this good. Slate, the sheep detectives is the movie you have been waiting for. Okay. So clearly it's a runaway hit. I know. But what was your reaction when, like your, like, your, like, your wife, your husband was like, I'm going to be a bad guy. It's, it's a runaway hit. I know. But what was your reaction when, like your people said to you like, how'd you like to play a sheep? Who's a detective? Yes. Who's also a detective. I said, pass. I will have nothing to do with this. This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Uh-huh. Sounds bananas and. Yes. And then I read the script. Yes. And I said, uh-huh. I'm totally doing it. It's very, it really is. It's uniquely tender and funny and has something to say, in fact. It's pretty, it's a great movie for, and it's good because it's one of those films that works for grownups and it works for kids. So it's a really good movie to take your kids to. And a gripping procedural. Uh, to a certain extent, yes. Yes. They're detectives. I want to say something that assumes that their. Yes. The investigation. I'm the lead detective, you guys. Wow. Female sheep have come a long way. Tell me about it. You know, when I was a kid, you would never, a female sheep would never be made a detective. I'm a sheep who's breaking a glass ceiling big time. Yes. The wool ceiling. Okay. Um, uh, we happen to have a clip here. Oh, God. Okay. Oh, I didn't know that. We're going to kiss on this side of that one too. Okay. We have, we have, we have a clip here. Do we, do you not know that you had a clip? You seem surprised that there's a clip on the sheet. Well, you keep, we keep, this is now the third clip. Is it the third clip? So, I don't know. Yeah, because you did your show, then we did my show. Now what, what is the clip? It's the, it's the movie. Oh, it's the movie. Oh, yes. Of course. You have another clip here. Yes. Okay. And you know what's, it's you and Brian Cranston. Yes. Who plays another sheep. He's another sheep. Yes. Are there any non-sheep in this film? Yes. Hugh Jackman is not a sheep. He's a shepherd. Okay. Yes. And Nick Braun is a policeman. So, um, but yes, Brian and I are the sheep. And I don't really know what this scene is about, but just understand that we are trying to solve a crime. It's good, you guys. It's so good. Oh, it's so good. It is. It's so good. Yes. Let's find out how good it is right now. George Fedos. George cared for us. George loved us. We owe him everything. What are you saying? Our shepherd has been murdered and we shall solve the crime. What's so funny? Oh, wow. To start with, your sheep. He's talking about you. Good thing. Good thing. Good thing. Good thing. We have, I'm lucky enough to share quite a few things with you so far. We first met at the White House. Yes. I think it was at the French state dinner. Yes, with President Hollande. You did our live show in Chicago. I did. That was a lot of fun. The Veep Cast all came on for the finale of Veep, which was such an honor. So fun. And we met the Pope together. We did. We met the Pope together. And I'm just curious. Yes. When you, because I wrote you and said, hey, I'm helping the Vatican put together a list of comedians to meet the Pope. Julie, do you want to meet the Pope? What did you think? Well, I thought your email had been hacked. I did. Sincerely? Yes. Oh, yes, I absolutely did. I didn't take it seriously and I thought something was wrong with your email. And I recall, I called you. Yes. And I said, hey, you know, did you know that your email was sending these things out? And you said it's real. And I was like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nice to meet the Pope. Oh my God. It was spectacular. Yeah. I was going to be in that thing called the Vatican. I mean, it was. The Apostolic Palace is, it is one pimped crib. That's how I would describe it with the kids would say. Yeah. It's pretty flashy in there. It's very flashy. Like every room is basically the Sistine Chapel. Completely. Yeah. And Michael Angelo designed all the, okay, now let's get this right. He designed all the costumes. Wardrobe. Wardrobe. Uniforms. For the Swiss guard. Yeah. That's incredible. The original insane clown posse. Yes. Right. Feathers and stripes and all the rest of it. They look dynamite, but boy, man, I mean, in any other context, it would be kind of like, you know, a circus. Right. You know. Did you get a photo with any of those Swiss cards? No, I wanted to, but I was too frightened. Well, they were not humorous about it. No. No. Did you try to? I just walked up to one. I was in someone's like lens and I just walked over and said, just do it. I stood next to him and took, what are they going to do? I just, they took the photo with me. They're not going to hit me with a halberd. Well, they have like long spiky things on them. Halberds. Well. Okay. I played a little D&D. I know what a halberd is. That's the only thing that's left. One to eight hit points of damage. Did you play D&D? Did you play Dungeons and Dragons? Oh, sure I did. You bet. Well, you were a theater student. It was great for getting in character. No, I listened to Barbara Streisand albums. I didn't. Yes, please. Can I, can I tell you one of my, let's talk about me now. Let's talk about. Believe me, we've got all the time in the world. We do. We've got till next Thursday. Yeah. The, one of my favorite, most prideful moments ever was that I got called a Barbara wanted me to read her audio book. I am Barbara or my name is Barbara. Yeah. Did you listen to that? Why would she want a man to read that? I have no idea, but I will tell you, would you like to hear the part that I read? Yes. My name is Barbara by Barbara Streisand. I am joined to you by the author. I got paid and everything. Really? That's what I read. And then at the end I went, we hope you've enjoyed. My name is Barbara. That was, that was, that was the whole thing. What an honor that Barbara wanted me to do that. Listen, I ran into Barbara Streisand. I adored her growing up. I used to sing to her in my bedroom. I thought, I fantasize we were best friends. Anyway, I was at some event. I can't remember what it was. And Barbara was there and I just got the balls to walk up to her and introduce myself. And so I went up to her and I said, oh, hi, Ms. Streisand. My name is Julia and I just want you to know how happy I am to meet you. And she looked at me and she goes, no, no, I already talked to them. They've handled it. She thought I was somebody's assistant or something that she, it was just gutting. And so of course I went, oh, great. Okay, thanks. Can I share a similar story? Please. Okay. So I did the Dana Carvey show way, way, way back in the day. And on the day of the carves, I don't really do impressions, but they asked me to do a couple. They said, would you do Oliver Stone? So I worked on Oliver Stone impression. Worked really hard on it. It was okay. And I heard from a friend of a friend that Oliver had liked it. He thought I was, no one had done an impression of him and they thought it was a really good impression. So I'm at like some fancy thing downtown in New York. I'm at a restaurant and Oliver Stone walks in and I went, you know what? He likes my impression. I'm going to say hi. So I go over to say hi to him and I said, hey, Mr. Stone, Stephen Colbert, you made him know my name, but I know on the Carvey show, you saw my impression. I hear you enjoyed my impression of you. It was a pleasure to do it. That's nice to meet you. And he goes, thanks. Where's the bathroom? And I said, I don't know. I don't work here. Did you not hear me say? You did? I said, did you not hear me say? I was like on the network TV show and he goes, hey, you never know when someone's going to hit hard times. Which is true. What he said is true. What he said is true. And also, **** him. Wow. That is such a douchey thing to say. Yeah, it sure is. I think Barbara was just confused. Barbara was confused. Have you met her dogs? No, but I've heard about them. She has cloned dogs. No, I understand that. They're delightful. Yeah, so does Diane von Furstenberg. Really? Yes. We're going to be here all night, folks. Do you have someplace to go? Actually, yeah. Oh, really? You, is Brad here? Yeah. You saw me kiss you? That's why I said, Evie's very strong. I think we're in trouble when this is all over. That's why I don't want this to end, because then we have to go back to our face. What is it? I'm out here. I'm vamping. I'm out here. Here's another, here's a second city story. Okay, you might enjoy this. I'm serious. You really have dinner or something like that? Well, I'm catching a plane, but I just met her. You're catching a plane? Yeah. Okay. So you remember Joyce Lone? Yes. Do you remember Joyce Lone? Of course. Okay, so Joyce Lone was the doyin of Chicago Theater, and she ran the second city from like 1959 on. And she was like Joyce Lone, like this. And she was very tough. She was like a mother who ate her young. And I loved her. Joyce was wonderful. But Paul Dinello and I did something just terrible on stage once. I think we yelled at some children who were in the audience. I think we weren't allowed to say anything, any dirty words, because there was like a third of the audience was like high school students. And we dropped an F bomb or something like that by accident. And literally their teachers made all of them get up and leave in the middle of the scene. Oh dear. So a third, like it's 250 people. Like, you know, like 100-some people. 100-some people walk out right there. And we started singing to them, we weren't allowed to say, well, you. Get the out. Get the out. We were doing a song. We started singing, get the out to them. Eat a bowl of whatever. We're doing all that kind of stuff. We were nice about it. And we heard her thundering backstage. And so we extended the scene as long as we could. So we would not face her wrath. We could hear her screaming backstage. And we're like, let's just do another song. No way. So not go up there. Here's the thing. I've been beaten around the bush here. Is that I know there's a box right here. Yeah, there is. And I am unclear as the contents of this box. It's up. May I take the box? You may take the box out. It's a very pretty box. It is. And is the box... Isn't that lovely, you guys? It's a very nice little bow on top. So, you know, I mean, people have been coming on the show and recently to sing your praises and give you gifts. And you know how much I love you. I really do. And I wanted to sort of add to the chorus to sort of boost you along to whatever brilliant thing you do next. And since I know you're a huge fan of Veep, by the way, he does not know what I'm about to do. I got some of the Veep writers together to write a Veep style tribute to you. And I will read them. I'm going to read them to you as Selena Meyer, my character in Veep. I've been on this show multiple times and I always thought you were Rachel Maddow. Are you not? So you're Irish, but you decided to pronounce your name to sound French. That's like putting lipstick on a pig, which I understand is what Irish people do before they f*** it. She false her. Yeah. Don't be too hard on yourself. You're as relevant as the Bill of Rights. So we have watched you age on camera from a spunky kid on The Daily Show to a canceled old late night host whose jowls look like the scrotum of a, well, a canceled old late night host. Your cancellation gave Donald Trump so much pleasure, I always think of you as the stormy Daniels of late night. When, when my people said I should come and say farewell to you, I was hoping it would be more of a hospice type situation. So I understand you're an obsessive Lord of the Rings fan. That must be so much fun for your wife. I love that one. All you've really got to do is hold on until the corporate guzzler who fires you gets fired. And he'll be gone as soon as he runs out of new cities for NCIS. I don't want you to worry. The only reason everyone rallied around Jimmy Kimmel is because he's more popular. Please, please don't look at this as an opportunity to do death of a salesman. You have the charisma of a software update notification. You fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking. The sheep detectives is in theaters now. Coming up. Here's your pass. Hi, my name is Lloyd Lockridge and I'm the host of a new podcast from Odyssey called Family Lore. In this podcast, I'm going to have people on to tell unusual and sometimes far-fetched stories about their families. I've heard my whole life that she ended at the Margarita. And then we're going to investigate those stories and find out how much of it is true. He gets a patent one month before the Wright Brothers. Oh my God. Please follow and listen to Family Lore, an Odyssey podcast available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows. You know my next wonderful guest from the Fantastic Four first steps, gladiator two, and the last of us. Please welcome back to the late show, Pedro Pascal. Nice to see you again. Nice to see you too. What a pleasure to have you back. People may not know. I got jealous. No need. Anytime. These lips will soon be free. Now, it's nice to see you. The last time you were here, people may not know this, but it was the very first time you were ever on a late night show. Here you are almost 10 years ago in 2016. I'm just curious. It was a lovely interview. Were you nervous at the time? I was terrified. Wow. I'm terrified now. Oh. It's a really big and beautiful theater. It's breathtaking. Isn't it beautiful? It's a little bit much for the very first talk show that you've ever done. Sure, yeah. Big space. Yeah, very big space. And I was scared. I watched it back and I was like, oh, wow, yeah, I'm not really breathing. Yeah, I had a good time. But I'm an actress. You know what I'm saying? Yes. No, you're a big old movie star now. And I'm just curious. I heard that as a child, you wanted to be in the movie so much that you would lie and say that you were in movies. Yeah. Were you afraid of being caught because people could go to the movies and say, you're not in that movie? How did you lie around that? I did get caught. I got caught when I lied and said that I was going to appear on the pilot of Twin Peaks. Who are you telling this to, just kids on the playground? I don't even remember. But they were like, my sister was at her friend's house and her friend's parents were gathering around the TV to watch Twin Peaks because they were like, we're waiting for your brother. And she's like, what are you talking about? She came back. She was so mad at me. I learned my lesson. I told people that I was edited out of the Lost Boys. I stood in for- You were the Lost Lost Boy? Yeah, exactly. Wow. For the uninitiated who may not have been watching the following of the Mandalorian and Grogu, Baby Yoda as people call him, colloquially. For the past three seasons, what's the movie about? Where are we in the story? Well, Grogu is officially adopted as Din Jarin's son under the Mandalorian Creed for anyone that follows the series. I think we all do. And they do everything together. They're on their missions together. Go see the movie. Plenty of reasons to including- Miss Sikorni Weaver is in the cast. That is, what an icon. Great to talk to. What was she like? Would you enjoy that? What was she like? All right, so she's my, I don't know, Michael Jordan. You know what I mean? Yeah, let's just round of applause for Sikorni Weaver, please. I'm a fan of movies. I've been a fan of my whole life. I'm more of a fan than I am an actor. But this is pushing it. This is too much. This is really embarrassing. I'm standing next to the woman and I'm like, but you don't understand. Like you don't understand. Now how do you feel knowing that there are people who stand next to you and now feel that way about you? Do you have any sympathy for them? I don't buy it. I don't think it's possible. I don't know. It just doesn't, I don't know. You're lying. No, I'm not. I promise you. There are people who probably tremble in your presence. I tremble in yours. Oh. We should probably kiss again. Do you, the producers, I'm sure you can edit this however you like, but the producers said that you have tequila. Do you want to try some tequila? Yeah. It's a... It's that George Clooney tequila. You okay with that? Casamigos, baby. Okay. Do you want to, in a glass or a shot? What do you want? I'll have it in a glass. Okay, go ahead and go. Can I drink, I can't, but I can't drink it. Are you, why are you putting it in your... You can drink it? You can drink it? On camera? Yeah. Okay. What are they going to do? Cancel me? Cheers. There you go. There you go. You don't have to have that much if you don't want. It's not bad. Okay, there you go. It's a pre-birthday, this is a pre-birthday. You can... At this point it is my birthday because it's after midnight. Happy birthday, Stephen. Thank you. We love you. Oh, you're very kind. We love you. We love this man. That's not too bad. Now, young man, we have a clip here from Mandalorian and Grogu. Star Wars for kids. Yes. Do you have anything that you, do we need to, do anything we need to set up here? This is the Mandalorian and Grogu. In theaters. In theaters made twenty seconds. Just saying you never read the script, man. Watch it, you'll get it, you'll get it. Devon, please. Kus lali rotet do. Mandalorian, still priceless on the black market. But what even lore is knowing we have shamed you forever? We know the Mandalorian creed. You'll be outcast for letting an enemy see your face. Not if you all die. I have a prediction. I have a prediction. Okay, film clearly. It's going to be action-packed. We even have your character in water. There's a wet Mandalorian in this one. But I understand those scenes were not so tough for you because you were a swimmer. There you are. There is a little, a little Pedro Pascal. There, the wet. Was it harder to swim in armor? It's easier to float in armor. It's harder to fight in wet armor, that's for sure. And there's a lot of fighting that happens very, very wet and it all gets a lot heavier. And then in between takes you just... And then blow dry you. I'll release some videos soon. Once the movie's out. With my, with my, with my illegal iPhone on that set. Oh, I bet they lock that stuff down. They lock it down, but not with me. What is the craziest skill you've had to learn as an actor for a part? I, I, I learned, I had to learn how to play the cello recently. It's not out yet. Hopefully it comes out. Wow, that, I can't, that's, that's... That's the hardest thing I've ever done. That sounds very, very difficult. Yeah. I was watching your bass player. She's fantastic. Yeah, yeah. And they own, and they own everybody. Amazing. And how does that happen? Oh, that's a, that's a good vibrato. Yes. She's in third position. She's jumping down to fourth. I was like, I feel, oh, I was so proud of myself. How was it on your fingers? How was it on your fingers? You get the, I got the callus. Yeah. I got the calluses and that sort of made me proud. Yeah. And, and yeah, I'm a great cello lip-syncher. Oh, yes. In other words, like you're doing the right thing, but maybe the tone is from somewhere else. If you heard it, it would sound like I was killing an animal. It's on a scale of one to yo-yo-ma. Where do you, where do you rank? In terms of sound? Yeah. Ooh, below the earth. But, but, but I can make it look good. Well, Pedro, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for the tequila. Thank you for having me. What a pleasure. You're the greatest. Thank you. Thank you. The Mandalorian and Grogu was in theaters May 22nd. Mr. Pedro Pascal. Thank you for listening to the Late Show Pod Show with Stephen Colbert. Just one more thing. If you want to see more of me, come to the Late Show YouTube channel for more clips and exclusives.
