WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW." THE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY GUEST TONIGHT IS AN ACTOR YOU KNOW
FROM "LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE," "SCANDAL," "CONFIRMATION," AND
NOW, "THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL."
>> LOOK, IF THERE WAS A MISTAKE, THEN IT IS ONE THAT SOMEONE IS
GOING TO GET FIRED FOR. SO LET'S PRETEND THERE IS NOT A
MISTAKE UNTIL WE CAN SORT THIS ALL OUT.
YES? BESIDES, THERE IS NO WAY BACK.
>> WHAT? >> OH, I KNOW!
LET'S GET YOU IN YOUR ARMOR! ( LAUGHS )
♪ ♪ ♪ OH, YES!
LOOK AT THAT! LET ME GUESS-- YOU'RE NOT A PINK
PERSON. NOT A PROBLEM!
WE ALSO HAVE ROWS, FUSCHIA, BLUSH, WATER MELON, HIBISCUS.
SO MANY COLORS! >> STEPHEN: PLEASE WELCOME KERRY
WASHINGTON. ♪ ♪ ♪
( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE. >> HI, EVERYBODY!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> YES. >> Stephen: THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE. I KNOW YOU'RE INCREDIBLY BUSY.
YOU'RE ALWAYS WORKING, AND YET YOU'RE MAKING TIME RIGHT NOW TO
TRY TO GET PEOPLE TO GET OUT TO VOTE RIGHT NOW.
>> I AM, I AM. >> Stephen: AS A MATTER OF
FACT HERE IS-- >> YES!
>> Stephen: HERE YOU ARE AT A RALLY WITH STACEY ABRAMS RIGHT
THERE.
HOMECOMING, DANCING, GETTING OUR PARTY ON.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO GO TO A BUNCH OF
STATES BECAUSE OF THESE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, RIGHT.
BECAUSE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS GET A LOT OF
ATTENTION, THEY'RE VERY SPLASHY. BUT THESE ELECTIONS, THESE
MIDTERM ELECTIONS, THIS IS WHEN WE ELECT LOCAL AND STATE LEADERS
THAT MAKE THE REAL DECISION, LIKE SECRETARIES OF STATE THAT
PROTECT OUR FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, MAKE SURE THAT OUR
VOTE COUNTS. >> Stephen: HOWEVER YOU FEEL--
HOWEVER YOU FEEL ABOUT ANY OF THE ISSUES OUT THERE, HOW YOU
FEEL DOESN'T MATTER UNLESS THE VOTE GETS COUNTED AND THE
SECRETARIES OF STATE AND THE ATTORNEYS GENERAL GENERAL FOR
THOSE STATE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
IN SOME STATES THERE'S A LOT OF GOVERNORS' RACES.
SOME STATES, LIKE IN PENNSYLVANIA, THE GOVERNOR
APPOINTS THE SECRETARY OF STATE. I'M GOING TO A BUNCH OF STATES
TO LET PEOPLE KNOW, NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, YOUR VOTE
MATTERS. I WANT YOUR VOTE TO COUNT.
THAT'S WHAT A DEMOCRACY IS.
HUNDREDS OF CANDIDATES THIS YEAR.
>> YES, YES, YES! >> Stephen: THERE ARE HUNDREDS
OF CANDIDATES THIS YEAR AT A STATE LEVEL WHO QUESTION THE
VALIDITY OF OUR ELECTIONS AND ASK YOURSELF WHEN YOU GO VOTE
WHO BELIEVES IN EVERY VOTE BEING COUNTED AND WHO DOESN'T.
AND VOTE FOR THE PERSON WHO BELIEVES IN COUNTING.
>> HERE'S WHAT'S SUPER INTEREST AGO IN 2020 PEOPLE CAME OUT IN
RECORD NUMBERS AND SO ALL OF THESE STATES STARTED HAVING ALL
OF THESE NEW LAWS THAT MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO VOTE.
AND PEOPLE DO THAT, RIGHT, THEY COME FOR YOU WHEN THEY'RE AFRAID
OF YOUR POWER. SO SOME PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF THE
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. AND THEY DON'T WANT YOUR VOTE TO
COUNT. SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO ARE PROTECTING EVERY VOTE.
( APPLAUSE )
CALLED "THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL."
WHAT'S IT ABOUT? >> IT IS ABOUT A SCHOOL FOR GOOD
AND EVIL. >> Stephen: THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU. ITS ABOUT THIS SCHOOL THAT
TRAINS FUTURE HEROES AND VILLAINS TO KIND OF FULFILL
THEIR DESTINY. >> Stephen: LIKE IN A FAIRY
TALE CONTEST. >> YEAH, THE CHILDREN OF ALL OF
YOUR FAVORITE FAIRY TALE HEROES AND VILLAINS THEY GO TO THIS
SCHOOL AND THESE TWO BEST FRIENDS WIND UP WHAT THEY THINK
IS THE WRONG SCHOOL AND THEY FIGURE OUT OUT MAYBE IT'S NOT
ALL BLACK AND WHITE. MAYBE EVERYBODY IS NOT ALL GOOD
OR ALL BAD. >> Stephen: DO YOU KNOW WHAT
SCHOOL YOU WOULD BE IN. >> Stephen: IN REAL LIFE.
>> Stephen: YES. >> IN REAL LIFE IT WOULD BE
GOOD, GLOBL YOU HAVE KIDS? DID THEY COME TO SET?
>> THEY DID. >> Stephen: THEY CAN'T COME TO
ALL OF YOUR SETS BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE SCANDALOUS.
>> VERY FEW OF MY FILMS MY KIDS HAVE BEEN AT.
THEY CAME TO VISIT AND THOUGHT CHARLIZE WAS COOL, THEY LOVED
HER COSTUME. SHE PLAYED THE DEAN OF THE
SCHOOL FOR EVIL. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK, BUT STICK AROUND.
KERRY WASHINGTON, EVERYBODY.
