Welcome to Tuesday’s Episode Guide! This show was intoxicating and alluring and it was all due to some smooching between Stephen and Dame Helen Mirren! Let’s check out the highlights.
Stephen asked the audience if they were Feeling the Bern and there was a lot of applause! Senator Sanders recently dropped bombshell - he has only smoked pot twice.
- Senator, you do know who your supporters are. I will tell you this much. They have smoked marijuana twice…since I started this sentence.
The group of candidates for 2016 Presidential Race have been getting smaller. The last candidate to drop out was “Ambien American” Dr. Ben Carson. You know what that means, Hubsters! Another round of “The Hungry for Power Games.” Stephen was looking good in a pink wig, pink eyebrows, and a shiny silver blazer has he said farewell to Carson. There was a new addition to this “Hungry for Power Games” - the voiceless eunuch, Andro, who appeared from under the desk to refresh Stephen’s champagne. As Andro squirted the champagne into Stephen’s glass, the blast was too much and it went everywhere, mostly on Andro’s face. Stephen tried hard to hold back his laughter!
Then the moment we’ve all been talking about came. The lovely Dame Helen Mirren walked out onto the stage and planted a kiss on Stephen, which made him speechless for a moment. After collecting himself, the two had a lovely interview. Mirren said she had been dreaming about kissing Stephen for 15 years and she just grabbed her chance. Who could blame her?! Dame Mirren, you are a true hero to us! Stephen enjoyed the Dame’s kiss and told her, “You really know what you’re doing.” Helen Mirren is - in a word - cool. She’s got an air of coolness all around her. Mirren shared some very interesting stories and since she is a British guest, Stephen brought out a tea set and the two sipped some English Breakfast while they talked. When the interview ended, Stephen couldn’t resist going in for another kiss! Let’s hope we see Helen Mirren many more times on the Late Show!
J.J. Abrams was guest number two. Stephen and Abrams discussed story telling and how to emotionally engage people in a story. Abrams’ wife, Katie (good name), told him to cut back on lens flares in his movies and he has. Stephen congratulated him on the enormous success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. They discussed his new film 10 Cloverfield Lane and showed a terrifying clip from the movie.
The Australian band, DMA’S, made their national television debut performing “Delete” off of their new album “Hills End.”
