WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW."
>> Stephen: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY NEXT GUEST IS A
STAR OF THE NEW CBS SHOW "GOD FRIENDED ME."
>> THIS CHARLES COLE.
>> HE'S THE DRUNK DRIVER THAT KILLED MY MOM.
I MEAN, WHY WOULD HE SEND ME HIS NAME?
WHY WOULD HE THINK I'D WANT TO HELP HIM?
>> YOU KNOW HOW THE GOD ACCOUNT WORKS.
HE OBVIOUSLY WAS SENT TO YOU FOR A REASON.
>> I DON'T CARE!
THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I'M GOING TO HELP THE GUY THAT
KILLED MY MOM!
>> MILES, MILES, IF WE DON'T HELP HIM, WE CAN'T COMPLETE THE
SPIRAL.
>> THEN WE FIND ANOTHER WAY.
>> LOOK, MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST GIVE YOU A SECOND, TAKE A BREAK.
>> I'M FINE.
OKAY.
CHARLES COLE IS OFF LIMITS.
WE'RE NOT HELPING HIM.
UNDERSTOOD?
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME, BRANDON MICHEAL HALL!
♪ ♪ ♪
>> OH!
OH!
HEY!
>> Stephen: THERE YOU GO.
WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
LET.
>> WOW!
HEY, MAMA!
WHAT'S UP?
>> Stephen: IS YOUR MOM UP THERE?
>> THAT'S MY MOM RIGHT UP THERE.
>> Stephen: HI, MOM!
>> AND MY REALLY GOOD FRIEND BARRY RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S BARRY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: YOU AND I HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON.
YOU'RE ALSO FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
>> YES, SIR.
>> Stephen: YOU CAME UP HERE TO GO TO SCHOOL AT JUILLIARD,
RIGHT?
SO YOU HAVE THAT IN COMMON WITH JON BATISTE OVER THERE.
>> THE LEGEND, THE LEGEND.
>> Jon: I LIKE YOUR TURTLENECK.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS IT LIKE GOING FROM-- WHAT TOWN FROM
NORTH CAROLINA ARE YOU FROM?
>> ANDERSON YOU'RE FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
>> Stephen: YES.
AND YOU CAME UP TO NEW YORK.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU CAME UP TO THE CITY?
>> FIRST TIME.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS THE TRANSIG LIKE FOR YOU?
>> THE TRANSITION, IT WAS MIND BLOWING.
I'LL NEVER FORGET, WHEN I WAS MOVING IN ON MOVE-IN WEEK-- AND
BATISTE YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS AS WELL.
IT'S A CRAZY, CRAZY TIME.
YOU'RE LIVING IN THE CITY WHERE THERE ARE STARS ALL OVER THE
PLACE AND YOU'RE COMING IN AS A FRESH.
AND I'M MOVING IN TO MY JUILLIARD BUILDING, AND I
REMEMBER GOING ON ONE OF THE ELEVATORS, AND I WAS TRYING TO
RUSH TO GO GET IT AND I STOPPED THE ELEVATOR, AND A GUY WAS
LIKE, "HEY, COME ON IN, COME ON IN."
I SAID, "THANK YOU SO MUCH."
HE SAID, "HOW IS IT GOING?
IS EVERYTHING GOING WELL?" I SAID, "YES, IT'S GREAT."
HE GETS OFF THE FLOOR, AND TWO LADIES GET ON AND THEY'RE LIKE,
"OH, MY GOD!" AND I'M LIKE WHAT HAPPENED?
IT WAS PAUL McCARTNEY THAT WAS IN THE ELEVATOR.
AND I REMEMBER BEING LIKE, "WHO'S THAT?
I DON'T KNOW."
I'M SORRY, I GUYS, I DID NOT-- AND I KNOW IT'S A TESTAMENT TO
ME.
I DID NOT GROW UP LISTENING TO THE BEATLES.
I APOLOGIZE.
SINCE I I HAVE LISTENED TO THE ALBUMS, SAW THE DOCUMENTARY.
IT WAS GREAT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU HEAR THAT ONE BIG SONG THEY HAD?
>> THE ONE THEY DID ON THE ROOFTOP.
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH, THEY HAD THAT REALLY GOOD SONG THEY DID.
>> IT'S CRAZY TOWN.
>> Stephen: ONE WONDERS, YEAH.
>> I THINK IT WAS LIKE "DAY AND NIGHT?"
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU SEEN HIM AGAIN?
>> NO, I HAVEN'T.
I HAVEN'T SOON HIM SINCE.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> HE SEEMS PRETTY BUSY.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE MOST NEW YORK EXPERIENCE YOU HAD.
SOMEONE YOU DID RECOGNIZE?
>> OH, YEAH, I'M WALKING TO GRACE PAPAYA.
>> Stephen: FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T HERE, IT'S A HOT DOG--
>> HOT DOG SPOT.
YEAH, THERE IT IS.
YOU GOT TO GET YOU SOME GRAY'S PAPAYA BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
I'M GOING TO GET ME SOME GRAY'S PAPAYA.
AND THIS OLDER BLACK LADY TURNS AROUND AND I'M LIKE, "THAT IS
SICILY TYSON.
THAT'S SICILY TYSON."
SHE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE "YOU KNOW WHO I AM."
I SWEAR THAT WAS SICILY TYSON.
>> Stephen: WAIT A SECOND.
HOW LONG AGO WAS THIS?
>> THIS WAS BACK IN 2011.
>> Stephen: SO SEVEN YEARS AGO.
SHE WAS 86 AT THE TIME.
BECAUSE SHE'S 93 NOW.
>> YEAH, STILL PUSHING.
STILL PUSHING.
AND SHE WAS DOING "GIN GAME."
>> Stephen: THAT'S NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
YOU CAN LIVE TO 93 EATING GRAY'S PAPAYA.
WE'VE BEEN LIED TO.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: ALL THAT DAMN KALE JUST A CON JOB.
>> A CON JOB.
>> Stephen: JUST DO THE GRAY'S PAPAYA.
>> YOU DON'T NEED SOY.
>> Stephen: IN "GOD FRIENDED ME" YOU PLAY THE SON OF A
MINISTER.
BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE THE SON OF A MINISTER IN REAL LIFE.
>> A TESTAMENT TO MY MOM-- A MINISTER.
NOT TO CALL YOU A PREACHER ANYMORE.
YOU'RE A MINISTER.
DID I DO THAT RIGHT?
>> Stephen: IT'S YOUR MOM.
>> SHE'S A MINISTER, RIGHT.
SHE'S BEEN--
THERE IT IS.
BUT, YEAH, GROWING UP IN THE CHURCH GOT ME TO-- HONESTLY, IT
GOT ME TO WHERE I AM NOW.
BEING ABLE TO WATCH MY MOM FIND HER PLATFORM TO PREACH.
I FOUND MINE TO DO IT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION BUT STILL
SPREADING A MESSAGE, YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
SO NICE TO MEET YOU.
MOM, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
"GOD FRIENDED ME" AIRS SUNDAYS AT 8:00 ON CBS.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY LIL WAYNE.
