>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) -- FOLKS, YOU KNOW MY FIRST
GUEST TONIGHT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS OF THIS OR ANY
GENERATION,NOY HIM AS TOUGH GUY, PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE
SHOW."
ROBERT DE NIRO!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> Stephen: HEY, TOUGH GUY.
HOW ARE YOU?
HOW YOU BEEN?
>> I'M OKAY.
>> Stephen: GOOD.
GOOD.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE YOU ON.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: YEAH, YEAH.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT "THE IRISHMAN," THE FILM YOU'RE DOING
WITH SCORSESE.
THREE AND A HALF HOURS LONG, YOU GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: ONE OF HIS GREATEST FILMS, EVERYBODY IS
SAYING.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: FIRST, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A GUY YOU KNOW AND I
TALK ABOUT HIM, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PRESIDENT FOR A
SECOND.
>> WHO?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: AND BEFORE I ASK
YOU ANY QUESTIONS, KEEP IN MIND, IT'S A FAMILY SHOW.
THIS IS CBS.
THIS ISN'T CNN OVER HERE.
YOU'VE -- ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
OH, BOY.
YOU'VE PLAYED A LOT OF GANGSTERS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROSECUTED ACTUAL MOB BOSSES SAY
TRUMP RUNS THINGS LIKE IT'S THE MOB.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU ACTUALLY DEFEAT A MOBSTER?
>> WELL, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
>> Stephen: IT'S WHAT I DO, BOB.
( LAUGHTER ) >> WELL, HE'S LIKE THE TEFLON
DON, YOU KNOW, AND GIULIANI, OF ALL PEOPLE, THE WAY I UNDERSTAND
IT, HE USED THE RICO ACT TO GO AFTER GANGSTER FAMILIES, AND,
SO, IT'S UNUSUAL THAT HE, NOW, IS REPRESENTING THIS GANGSTER
FIRST FAMILY, IF YOU WILL.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> THE WHOLE SITUATION IS BEYOND
UNDERSTANDING.
>> IT IS, YEAH.
KIND OF HEARTBREAKING, TOO.
PEOPLE OTHERWISE WHO HAVE BEEN HEROS FALL.
>> TO ME IT'S MORE THAN HEARTBREAKING.
IT'S A REALLY, REALLY SERIOUS SITUATION WE'RE IN.
I DON'T WANT TO BRING PEOPLE DOWN, BUT --
>> Stephen: NO.
YEAH, I THINK THEY CAME PRE-DOWN.
( LAUGHTER ) >> IT'S LIKE A PULL AROUND
CERTAIN THINGS.
IT'S LIKE LIVING IN AN ABUSIVE HOUSEHOLD.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT CRAZY THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, WHAT'S
GOING TO MAKE YOU SAY WH WHAT TH HELL IS GOING ON.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE ONLY ONE ANGRY PERSON GETS TO SAY WHAT
THE TRUTH IS.
>> EXACTLY.
AND THE TRUTH IS NOT FROM HIM, THAT'S FOR SURE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) AND HE'S A FAKE PRESIDENT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MEAN
BY THAT?
>> WELL, HE CALLS EVERYTHING FAKE BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE'S FAKE,
SO HE'S PROJECTING.
HE'S PROJECTING ALL THE TIME.
ACCUSE THEM OF THE THING THAT YOU KNOW HE DID.
>> SOMEWHERE DEEP DOWN I DON'T WANT TO GET ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL.
>> Stephen: GO AHEAD.
( LAUGHTER ) THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO REPLACE HIM.
YOU'RE A NEW YORKER.
BLOOMBERG OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.
YOU KNOW HIM, RIGHT?
>> A LITTLE BIT, YES.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I LIKE BLOOMBERG.
HE'S AN ADULT.
HE'S A GROWNUP.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: YEAH.
HE'S RUN THE CITY FOR 12 YEARS.
I KNOW THERE ARE THINGS HE DID, YOU MENTIONED THEM ON THE SHOW,
BUT HE'S DONE GOOD THINGS, AND HE TRIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
>> Stephen: HE'S PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS WHEN IT COMES
TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND CERTAINLY GUN POLICY.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: THAT'S CERTAINLY MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE, I THINK
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THAT'S CERTAINLY A PLUS ON HIS
SIDE.
>> YES, YES.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAVE TO GET PAST THIS -- GET OVER THE
HUMP INTO CALM WATERS, AND, SO, TO ME, BLOOMBERG MIGHT BE THE
ONE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I LOVE BUTTIGIEG, I LIKE SO MANY
PEOPLE.
BUT IT'S A MATTER OF HE'S STILL YOUNG, HE HAS TIME, BUT WE NEED
TO GET PAST THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION.
>> Stephen: YEAH, THERE'S A SENSE OF URGENCY RIGHT NOW.
WE NEED TO RIGHT THE SHIP.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WELL, THE IRISHMAN, AS I WAS SAYING
BEFORE, IS THE NEW MOVIE, THREE AND A HALF HOURS.
I WOULD RECOMMEND MAYBE NOT THE LARGE DIET COKE BEFORE YOU GO
IN, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS A MINUTE, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WELL, THIS IS YOUR NINTH MOVIE WITH SCORSESE.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE A SHORTHAND NOW?
WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING, WHAT'S THE COLLABORATION LIKE?
>> IT'S THE SAME.
IT WAS GREAT TO GET BACK TO WORKING WITH MARTY.
WE JUST DID WHAT WE ALWAYS DID.
>> Stephen: GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF HOW HE MIGHT DIRECT YOU, HOW
YOU MIGHT TAKE A NOTE.
>> DO THAT LIKE THERE.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
( LAUGHTER ) AND IF YOU'VE GOT AN IDEA, LIKE,
HOW DO YOU CLEAR IT WITH HIM?
>> I GO (MUMBLING) OVER HERE.
>> Stephen: GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: SO CHATTY KATHY THE WHOLE TIME.
( APPLAUSE ) A LOT WAS MADE TO HA OF THE DEAG
TECHNOLOGY PUT IN THIS MOVIE.
HOW DID HE EXPLAIN WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO WHEN HE FIRST
CAME TO YOU?
>> THEY HAD ME TO DO A SCENE FROM "GOOD FELLAS," AND I GUESS
THEY COMPARED IT AND WORKED ON THE SCENE THAT I DID, AND
COMPARED THE TWO.
>> Stephen: AND DIGITALLY MADE IT THAT AGE.
>> EXACTLY.
I MEAN, THE IDEA WAS ISLAND, THEY REALLY WANTED TO MAKE IT
THE BEST IT COULD BE AT THAT POINT, AND THAT WAS EXCITING FOR
US BECAUSE BEFORE THAT WE WERE THINKING ABOUT WHO WOULD PLAY US
YOUNGER AND SO ON.
>> Stephen: WHO WOULD PLAY YOU YOUNGER?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
WE WERE NOT QUITE AT THE POINT OF GETTING TO NAMING ACTUAL
PEOPLE OR LOOKING FOR PEOPLE.
>> Stephen: I'M RIGHT HERE, BOB.
RIGHT HERE.
>> WELL, I THOUGHT OF YOU.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I'M BUSY.
YOU'RE BUSY.
>> Stephen: I'M BUSY RIGHT NOW.
BAD TIMING.
>> AND THE YEARS WENT BY, AND WHEN THEY ALL WENT BY, IT MADE
US OLDER, SO WE PROBABLY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRY TO DEAGE.
>> Stephen: I.L.M., INDUSTRIAL LIGHT AND MAGIC, "STAR WARS,"
THEY COULD HAVE MADE YOU A WOOKIEE.
>> THEY COULD HAVE.
>> Stephen: J.J. IS BACKSTAGE AND STILL READY TO GO AT A
MOMENT'S NOTICE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP.
TELL US THE STORY AND WHO YOU PLAY BEFORE WE GO TO IT.
>> WELL, WHAT IS IT?
>> Stephen: THE CLIP IS -- I WILL TELL YOU.
I BROUGHT A CLIP FOR YOU.
IT'S YOU AND PESCI, OKAY, AND HE'S HANDING YOU THE PHONE TO
TALK TO JIMMY HOFFA PLAYED BY PACINO.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE, BOB?
>> NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVEN'T?
I HEAR VERY GOOD THINGS.
( LAUGHTER ) SO WHO'S YOUR CHARACTER?
>> A GUY NAMED FRANK SHERHAN WHO WAS A TEAMSTER FROM JERSEY WITH
THE PHILADELPHIA MOB, IF YOU WILL, AND JOE PESCI IS A MOB
BOSS AND THEY'RE IN PHILADELPHIA AND HE SAYS THAT HE KNOWS HOFFA,
SO HE SETS UP AN INTRODUCTION TO HALF FA FOR MY CHARACTER, AND
THAT'S IT.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
JIM?
>> LISTEN, I GOT THAT KID I WAS TALKING TO YOU ABOUT HERE.
I'M GOING TO PUT HIM ON THE PHONE AND LET YOU TALK TO HIM,
OKAY?
>> HELLO?
IS THAT FRANK?
YES.
HI YA, FRANK, THIS IS JIMMY HOFFA.
>> GLAD TO MEET YOU.
WELL, I'M GLAD TO MEET YOU, TOO, EVEN IF IT'S OVER THE
PHONE.
I HEARD YOU PAINT HOUSES.
>> YES.
YES, SIR, I DO, I DO.
AND I -- I ALSO DO MY OWN CARPENTRY.
>> I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
I HEAR YOU'RE A BROTHER OF MINE.
>> YES, SIR, LOCAL 107 SINCE 1947.
>> MY FRIEND SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
HE'S NOT AN EASY MAN TO PLEASE.
>> WELL, I DO MY BEST.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: EXCITING TO SEE
YOU THREE GUYS TOGETHER OUT THERE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK, BUT
PLEASE DON'T GO BECAUSE WHEN WE COME BACK I'M GOING TO ASK BOB
HOW HE FELT ABOUT BEING A TALK SHOW HOST IN JOKER.
STICK AROUND.
