>> Stephen: THAT'S TRUE.
THAT IS TRUE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S TRUE AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT THEY NEVER
FOUND OUT WHO SET THE FIRE.
>> NO, WELL THEY DID BUT WE CAN'T SAY.
IT'S SEALED.
>> Stephen: OH.

A LONG-TIME -- I WANT TO SAY -- >> A LONG-TIME WHAT?

THANK YOU.
( LAUGHTER ) TAKEN ABACK BY THAT.
>> Stephen: I'M A BROADCASTER.
YOU'RE A BROADCASTER.
>> YOU DEFINITELY ARE.
YOU'RE A HELL OF A BROADCASTER.
>> Stephen: YOUR LONGEVITY IS WHAT I LIKE.
YOUR ENDURANCE, THE PUNISHMENT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE IN
YOUR JOB WOULD KILL A LESSER MAN.
>> I WOULD CONCUR, YES.
>> Stephen: YES.
( LAUGHTER ) >> BUT, YOU KNOW, MY DAD USED TO
TELL ME, RONALD, EVERY DAY YOU WAKE UP IS A GOOD DAY.
>> Stephen: RIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW, IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME IN
THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER?
>> NO, IT IS NOT.
NO, IN FACT, I WAS HERE IN 1964 TO SEE MY FAVORITE MAGICIAN FRED
CAPS, AND WE WERE SO EXCITED.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
AND WE WERE, LIKE, OH, FRED CAPS.
AND WE HAD TO LISTEN THROUGH THIS INSEASESSENTLY SCREECHING
BAND CALLED THE BEATLES, AND I WAS LIKE, GET OFF THE STAGE!
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT ANYWAY, YOU'RE BUMS!
BUMS!
I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAD SUCH A VISCERAL REACTION.
THEY FINALLY GOT THEIR ASSES OUT OF THERE AND FRED CAPS CAME OUT
AND DID HIS MAGIC AND IT WAS WONDERFUL.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: DID HE HAVE A
SIGNATURE TRICK?
>> HE WOULD PUT A RABBITT IN HAT AND THE RABBIT WOULD -- THE
RABBIT WOULD DISAPPEAR.
AND THEN THE RABBIT WOULD APPEAR AGAIN.
>> Stephen: OH, OKAY.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE TAKE OUT A HAT AND
THEY'LL REACH IN TO REMOVE THE RABBIT AND HE SAID HIS TRICK WAS
TO ACTUALLY PUT THE RABBIT IN THE HAT.
BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT'S EXCITING.
YOU DON'T SEE THAT EVERY DAY.
EVER SEE A GUY STITCH A WOMAN TOGETHER (LOOK, THAT WAS THE
BEAUTY OF FRED CAPS, WHEN HE STEPPED OUT THERE, YOU DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE WAS GOING TO DO.
>> Stephen: HE HAD A TRICK WHERE HE WOULD PUT A QUARTER
BEHIND YOUR EAR.
>> AND HE WOULD JUST LEAVE IT THERE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: SO AMAZING.
SO AMAZING.
>> FRED CAPS.
>> Stephen: TO FRED CAPS.
TO FRED CAPS.
>> Stephen: THE KING.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE BEATLES, BY THE WAY.

>> Stephen: YOU GUYS COULD HAVE A POKER --
>> OH, GOSH, WE WOULD SHOOT OFF FLARE GUNS.
>> Stephen: AT EACH OTHER.

SHOT 90 UNDER PAR.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
BROKE ALL THE COURSE RECORDS BY A MILE.

BUT THIS GUY IS A REAL CHARACTER.
HE'S A RIVERBOAT GAMBLER, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
A HELL OF A BUSINESS MAN.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
DID YOU EVER INVEST IN ANY OF HIS PROPERTIES OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT?
>> I INVESTED IN TRUMP UNIVERSITY.

NEWSMAN'S NEWSMAN, DO YOU THINK THERE'S A FAKE NEWS PROBLEM IN
TODAY'S MEDIA?
>> WELL, I THINK IT'S OUT THERE FOR SURE.
>> Stephen: MEANING IT EXISTS?
YEAH, IT EXISTS, BUT LET'S FACE IT.
A LOT OF STUFF I REPORTED ON WAS FAKE.
I MADE IT UP.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT, YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS TOLD
PEOPLE, YOUNG JOURNALISTS, THAT YOU HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND YOU
FIND THE MS. , YOU FIND THE TRUTH, RIGHT.
