It's the Late Show Poncho with Stephen Colbert.

Folks. If you watch the show, you know I spend most of my time over there on the news workshop, shaping the most topical rose story gold and adorning it with 80 stones for a total weight of 1.78 carats. And adding a concealed box clasp in yellow gold to create the Van Cleef and Arpel Perle clover bracelet that is my nightly monologue. But sometimes, just sometimes, folks, after beaching a stolen jet ski on a garbage scowl while snorting crushed up Sudafed, I string some half eaten Jolly Ranchers onto a dirty boot lace and parade around wearing nothing but the glittering stank bangle of news that is my segment. Meanwhile, it's poetry. Meanwhile, it's really more. It's more like poetry than comedy. Meanwhile, a Utah man dropped a 1900 pound pumpkin onto his Geo Metro, causing the Geo Metro to significantly increase in value. That's a lot of pumpkin. Meanwhile, in celebrity pet news, NFL legend Tom Brady has revealed that his dog Juni is a clone of his late dog Lua. Look, as a dog lover, I get it. And as a Tom Brady lover, I hope people are just as understanding about me cloning Tom Brady. They do my yard work. They do a great job. Brady was able to clone his dog with the help from the upscale biotech company Colossal Biosciences. Well, he can afford it. I went with the far less expensive Crazy Carl's Clone Zone. Which is why all my Tom Bradys have canine hip dysplasia. Very sad. Had to put Some of them down. Meanwhile, new wetsuit designs will offer a layer of protection against shark bites by employing lightweight materials like Kevlar and nanofibers, which blunt the damage from white sharks and tiger sharks. That sounds cool. And boy, would I have loved to have seen them. Starting product trials. We're all set, Phil. All you gotta do is slip into the anti shark bite suit and then hop in the shark infested water. You know what, Rick? You really spearheaded this whole thing. You should have the honor au co tris your baby. Get in the water. But first, here, put on my lucky ham. It's a Tim Conway joke. Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow has unveiled this year's Goop holiday gift guide and includes a $1,300 naughty advent calendar stocked with a red silk blindfold, 20ft of black French bondage rope, gold plated handcuffs, and restraint tape. Ooh, holiday kinks. Reminds me of that classic Christmas song, I saw Mommy ball gag, Santa Claus. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry to get that image in your mind. Meanwhile. Meanwhile, last weekend, a Florida man was arrested on a DUI charge on Halloween while dressed as a prison inmate. You know what they say, dress for the job you want. Meanwhile, there he is. Meanwhile, soccer star David Beckham has been knighted. So from now on, you shall address him as Sir Crotchalot. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian and Sarah Paulson are working on a new show together, but are apparently having a wee disagreement behind the scenes. You see, Kardashian insists the 1969 moon landing was fake, saying it didn't happen, and told Paulson, I'm sending you so far a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and the other one. The other one? You mean Neil Armstrong? You don't exactly establish a ton of credibility on the whole moon landing debate when you call Neil Armstrong the other one. There's really no excuse, especially given how famous this footage is. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for me. Neil, first man on the moon, Armstrong. Meanwhile, people forget. People forget all the salty talk. Meanwhile, a research center has been trialing artificial intelligence to spot weeds in farmers fields. Well, there goes all the good high paying weed spotting jobs. Thanks, AI. Now, what will English majors do when they graduate? Meanwhile.
D
Wow.
C
Wow, do we have a few English majors here tonight. I know, I married one. They're super sensitive. Hey, it's a fine major. Meanwhile, observers have recently noticed that dogs in the Chernobyl exclusion zone are mysteriously turning blue. Man, Bluey's origin story just took a dark turn. Look how worried he looks. He looks so worried. Meanwhile, the movie the Goonies is getting its own Lego set. Take a look. Okay. Pretty cool. Way more fun than their other 1980 movie Lego set. My dinner with Andre. 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.
