>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY!
PLEASE SAY HELLO TO THE BAND.
THAT'S STAY HUMAN RIGHT OVER THERE.
COME ON!
( APPLAUSE ) OH, IT'S BACK TO ME.
LOUIS, TONIGHT, WE'VE GOT SOME DELIGHTFUL-- I HAVE NEVER
INTERVIEWED HER BEFORE.
>> Louis: COME ON.
>> Stephen: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I FEEL LIKE MET HER, BUT I CAN'T NAME WHEN.
HEIDI KLUM IS GOING TO BE OUT HERE IN A LITTLE WHILE.
"PROJECT RUNWAY," "MAKING THE CUT."
AND ALMOST ON THE TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN WE LAST HAD
HIM ON, IBRAM X. KENDI, WILL BE OUT HERE A LITTLE LATER ON IN
THE SHOW.
FOLKS, IT'S THE LAST DAY OF PRIDE MONTH, WHEN WE CELEBRATE
L.G.B.T.Q.I.A. CULTURE, NOT ONLY A VIBRANT AND UNIQUE COMMUNITY,
BUT ALSO A BRUTAL SCRABBLE RACK.
( LAUGHTER ) AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THIS
YEAR'S PRIDE MONTH HIGHLIGHTS IN MY SEGMENT:
♪ ♪ ♪ >> THE LATE SHOW'S PRIDE
MONTH NEWS PARADE!
GOOGLE STONEWALL!
PL >> Stephen: FIRST UP, IN A YEAR
WHEN OVER 300 ANTI-L.G.B.T.Q.
BILLS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IT'S
IMPORTANT TO SHOW ALLY-SHIP.
AND AS ALWAYS, WE LOOK TO OUR BURGERS FOR MORAL GUIDANCE.
CASE IN POINT, BURGER KING DEBUTED A "PRIDE WHOPPER" WITH
"TWO EQUAL BUNS."
( LAUGHTER ) WHICH, APPARENTLY, MAKES THE
BURGERS...
GAY?
( LAUGHTER ) THE BURGER COMES WITH "EITHER
TWO TOP BUNS OR TWO BOTTOM BUNS."
( LAUGHTER ) BECAUSE NOTHING, NOTHING SAYS
"WE UNDERSTAND GAY CULTURE" LIKE TWO TOPS.
( LAUGHTER ) OTHERS GOT THEIR PRIDE
PROMOTIONS A LITTLE MORE RIGHT.
FOR INSTANCE, NASCAR TWEETED "YASCAR" FOR THE LAUNCH OF THEIR
PRIDE MONTH T-SHIRTS.
GOOD FOR NASCAR.
THOUGH, I GOTTA SAY, NASCAR'S ACTUAL LOGO?
ALREADY PRETTY GAY.
OF COURSE, NOT ALL NASCAR FANS ARE ON BOARD WITH THIS, WITH ONE
TWEETING "NO LONGER A FAN OF NASCAR AFTER I SAW THIS."
WELL, IF YOU'RE UPSET ABOUT NASCAR BEING GAY FRIENDLY, WAIT
'TIL YOU HEAR WHAT RUPAUL DID TO DRAG RACING.
( APPLAUSE ) THERE ARE ALSO--
( APPLAUSE ) THERE ARE ALSO PRIDE-THEMED
KIDS' TOYS.
FOR INSTANCE, BRATZ HAS LAUNCHED A SPECIAL PRIDE DOLL PACK.
THAT'S GREAT, BUT I'M STILL OPPOSED TO BRATZ'S UNREALISTIC
BODY IMAGE.
THERE IS NO HEALTHY WAY FOR A GIRL TO ACHIEVE A HEAD THAT BIG.
THE DOLLS ARE NAMED ROXXI AND NEVRA, AND WERE REVEALED TO BE
GIRLFRIENDS IN 2020.
WELL, IT'S NICE TO KNOW WE'VE REACHED A POINT WHERE A BRAND
CAN ANNOUNCE THEIR DOLLS ARE QUEER.
IT WASN'T LONG AGO THAT MATTEL LAUNCHED THEIR HIGHLY
CONTROVERSIAL "BARBIE AND HER FRIEND WHO'S DEFINITELY JUST
HER ROOMMATE, KAYLA."
( LAUGHTER ) THEY MET IN COLLEGE.
( APPLAUSE ) THEY MET IN COLLEGE.
IN EUROPE, IN HONOR OF PRIDE MONTH, LUFTHANSA HAS A PLANE
UNDER THE BANNER "LOVE-HANSA" AND SAYS THE NEW DECALS SHOW
THAT IT'S A COMPANY THAT STANDS FOR OPENNESS, DIVERSITY, AND
UNDERSTANDING.
NOT TO BE OUTDONE, SPIRIT AIRLINES RELEASED THIS PRO-PRIDE
STATEMENT: "AT SPIRIT, WE EMBRACE ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE
WILLING TO SIT IN PET CARGO AND PAY FOR THEIR GINGER ALE AND
PEANUTS WITH HUMAN TEETH."
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
BACK STATESIDE, THERE'S PROGRESS FOR L.G.B.T.Q. ACCEPTANCE.
2022 SAW A SURGE IN SMALL-TOWN PRIDE EVENTS, LIKE IN
PULASKI, TENNESSEE, A TOWN OF 7,600 RESIDENTS, WHICH FEATURED
SEVERAL HUNDRED CARS, INCLUDING A JEEP SPORTING THE PHRASE
"REDNECKS 4 RAINBOWS."
THAT'S NICE.
( APPLAUSE ) THAT'S REALLY LOVELY.
REDNECK CULTURE IS GETTING MORE INCLUSIVE.
PRETTY SOON, LARRY THE CABLE GUY WILL HAVE TO CHANGE HIS
CATCHPHRASE TO "GIT 'ER/'IM/'EM DONE."
IN SPORTS NEWS, FIFA HAS ISSUED A WARNING TO QATAR WORLD
CUP HOTELS OVER L.G.B.T.Q.
DISCRIMINATION, SAYING ESTABLISHMENTS ARE "REQUIRED TO
WELCOME GUESTS IN A 'NONDISCRIMINATORY MANNER' OR
FACE TERMINATION OF CONTRACTS."
YOU KNOW YOU SUCK WHEN THE VOICE OF MORALITY IS FIFA.
THAT'S LIKE GETTING LECTURED ( APPLAUSE )
ON TOLERANCE BY MEL GIBSON.
"WOAH, WHOAH, WOAH, COOL IT ON THE ANTI-SEMITISM, SUGAR
( BLEEP ).
IN LINGUISTICS NEWS, HIP HOP ARTIST LIL NAS X WANTS THE WORD
"BUSSY" ADDED TO THE DICTIONARY FOR PRIDE MONTH.
IN CASE YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR-- AND I WAS NOT-- "BUSSY" REFERS
TO THE MALE ANUS, AND IS A PORTMANTEAU OF THE WORDS "BOY"
AND...
ANOTHER WORD.
( LAUGHTER ) JUST SOME OTHER WORD.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS.
OF COURSE, IN POLITE COMPANY, YOU DON'T USE "BUSSY."
INSTEAD, YOU USE THE MORE FORMAL "BAGINA."
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH HEIDI KLUM.
