>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK.
IN HONORING OF CONTINUING THE SHOW, I THOUGHT MAYBE JUST A
LITTLE MORE FLESH, HUH?
YOU LIKE?
NOW, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT EVEN WHEN I'M STUCK AT HOME, I
CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL I WANT TO BE DOING MORE TO HELP.
THEN I REALIZE THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO AND THAT'S
BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU OUT THERE ALREADY DID.
A FEW YEARS AGO WE ATE "THE LATE SHOW" PUBLISHED A BOOK "WHOSE
BOAT IS THIS BOAT" MADE ENTIRELY OF QUOTES MADE IN HURRICANE
FLORENCE THE PROCEEDS GOING TO THOSE IN DISASTERS.
WE RAISED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
IT WORKED.
HURRICANE FLORENCE NEVER CAME BACK.
WELL, I'VE ALWAYS SAID VIRUSES ARE THE NEW HURRICANES, AND I'M
PROUD TO SAY THAT FINALLY MAKES SENSE.
TONIGHT I'M ANNOUNCING WE'LL BE GIVING $150,000 FROM THE MOST
RECENT SALES OF THIS BOOK TO HELP VICTIMS OF THE PANDEMIC.
THE MONEY WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN WHERE OUR
OLD FRIEND JOSEÉ ANDREÉS IS HELPING PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE
FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES WHO ARE OUT OF WORK AND
GIVE DIRECTLY WHERE IT DISTRIBUTES CASH WHERE IT CAN DO
THE MOST GOOD, OUR NATION'S POOREST HOUSEHOLDS.
YOU ALL MADE THIS POSSIBLE WITH YOUR GENEROSITY AND, NOW, WE'RE
ALL DOING THE RIGHT THING BY SELF-ISOLATING AT HOME,
PROTECTING YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, AND IT'S WORKING.
THE CURVE IS BEGINNING TO FLATTEN.
SO I WANTED TO CELEBRATE HOW AMERICANS ARE ALL COMING
TOGETHER BY STAYING APART WITH THESE UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED
T-SHIRTS.
WE'RE SELLING THEM NOW AT COLBERTLATESHOW.COM, AND 100% OF
THE PROCEEDS WILL ALSO BE SPLIT BETWEEN THESE TWO CHARITIES.
THIS STYLISH AND CHARITABLE SHIRT IS PERFECT FOR EVERY DAY
IN YOUR LIVING ROOM OR MAYBE A FANCY NIGHT OUT STANDING IN YOUR
HALLWAY.
BE SURE TO GET ONE IN YOUR CURRENT SIZE, AND ONE IN THE
SIZE YOU WILL BE AFTER ALL OF YOUR STRESS-EATING.
JUST HEAD TO COLBERTLATESHOW.COM TO ORDER YOURS TODAY.
SOON, YOU'LL BE SAYING HELLO TO YOUR VERY OWN SHIRT.
REMEMBER, YOU CAN'T SPELL "ISOLATION" WITHOUT
"OLA, T!" AND TO EVERYBODY OUT THERE,
THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE, THANKS FOR ALL
THAT YOU WILL DO, AND THANKS TO ALL THAT YOU DO DO.
AND YES, I JUST SAID "DO DO."
OH, SORRY-- IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GETTING A ZOOM REQUEST.
THIS IS A LITTLE AWKWARD BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO DO A SHOW, BUT IT
MUST BE IMPORTANT.
GRAMMY/OSCAR WINNING SINGER/ACTOR, AND PERSON I KNOW
SO WELL I CALL HER STEFANI, LADY GAGA!
>> HI, STEPHEN, HOW ARE YOU?
>> Stephen: I'M DOING GREAT!
OUR ZOOM BOOK CLUB PARTY DOESN'T START TILL 8:00.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CHARDONNAY CHILLED YET.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> THAT'S OKAY.
I'M ALREADY WASTED.
IT'S FINE.
>> Stephen: GOOD, GOOD.
STAY LOOSE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M DOING GREAT.
EVERYBODY'S SAFE AND SOUND.
WE FEEL VERY BLESSED ALL HERE TOGETHER.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> Stephen: SAME THING.
SAME THING.
WE'RE ALL TOGETHER.
MY KIDS ARE MY CREW RIGHT NOW, MY DAUGHTER IS DOING MY MAKEUP,
I'M SURROUND BID LOVED ONES AND, YOU KNOW, MY FAMILY IS HEALTHY
RIGHT NOW AND, FOR THAT, I FEEL BLESSED.
>> THAT'S WONDERFUL.
>> Stephen: SO WHAT'S GOING ON?
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND I ARE GOING TO BE DOING SOMETHING
TOGETHER PRETTY SOON.
>> WELL, SO I AM CREATING A SPECIAL FOR THE WORLD HEALTH
ASSOCIATION AND GLOBAL CITIZEN AND IT'S CALLED ONE HEALTH
TOGETHER AT HOME.
IT TURNS OUT -- DO YOU KNOW A HOST OF THE SHOW?
>> Stephen: WHO'S HOSTING IT?
SOMETHING THAT BIG, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A BIG HOST.
>> YOU, MAN.
>> Stephen: WHAT?!
THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BLUE CARD RIGHT HERE.
JIMMY KIMMEL AND JIMMY FALON?
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: I KNOW THOSE GUYS.
I WROTE IT DOWN ON A POST-IT.
>> Stephen: I GOT IT HERE, I GOT IT THERE.
>> FALON, KIMMEL AND COLBERT, NOT IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER.
AND ABC AGREED TO LET ME HAVE ALL THREE OF YOU.
I FEEL SO LUCKY.
>> Stephen: AND WE ARE HONORED TO BE UP THERE WITH YOU.
JUST LIKE BRADLEY COOPER IN "A STAR IS BORN" WE'LL BE STANDING
THERE PEAKING OUR PANTS STANDING BESIDE YOU.
>> NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
THIS SHOW IS NOT GOING TO BE A FUNDRAISER.
WE HAVE RAISED THE MONEY AHEAD OF TIME.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE FUNDRAISING BEFORE THE SHOW.
SO WHEN YOU INTRODUCE THE WHOLE SPECIAL.
YOU CAN TELL EVERYONE PUT YOUR WALLETS AWAY AND YOUR MONEY AWAY
BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED IT BECAUSE WE RAISED THE MONEY ALREADY AND
WE'RE VERY EXCITED FOR THEM TO JUST WATCH AND ENJOY THE SHOW.
>> Stephen: THE PROGRAM, APRIL 1 OTHER MUSICIANS WILL BE JOINED
FROM THEIR OWN HOMES.
CHRIS MARTIN, ELTON JOHN, LIZZO, PAUL McCARTNEY.
TUNE IN TO FIGURE OUT WHICH FORGETS TO UNMUTE THEIR ZOOM.
IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING.
>> WAS I UNMUTED THIS WHOLE TIME?
>> Stephen: NO, WE WOULDN'T DARE.
IT'S BASICALLY ON EVERY CHANNEL, INCLUDING THIS ONE.
SO EVERYBODY OUT THERE HAS TO DO IS JUST NOT TURN OFF THEIR TV
FOR THE NEXT 12 DAYS AND THEY'RE READY TO GO.
>> JUST LEAVE YOUR TV ON, STEPHEN WILL BE THERE OR ONE OF
THE JIMMIES WILL BE THERE.
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WE'LL HAVE?
OUR FRIENDS FROM "SESAME STREET."
>> Stephen: THAT'S FANTASTIC.
A MUPPET CAN BE USED AS A FACE MASK IN AN EMERGENCY.
>> YOU KNOW, I'VE ASKED ABOUT ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT COULD
BE USED IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE.
IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED TOPIC.
>> Stephen: WE'LL GET INTO IT APRIL 18th.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: NO, THANK YOU.
I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, GOING AND
BEING WITH PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES EVERY NIGHT, I KNOW IT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S VERY HEART WARMING TO AMERICAS AND THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A PART OF THIS SPECIAL BECAUSE REALLY AND
TRULY, THE FACT THAT THE THREE OF YOU ARE COMING TOGETHER TO DO
THE SHOW, THE TYPE OF DO YOU KNOWTY AND THE SOLIDARITY WE ALL
NEED RIGHT NOW AND THE START OFO GENUINE, SINCERE KINDNESS.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND ALSO THANK YOU TO VERIZON FOR THEIR DONATION TO THE
SOLIDARITY FUND.
>> Stephen: ABSOLUTELY.
MY PHONE IS ON ME, SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO CALL IN AND
DONATE NOW, THAT'S PART OF OUR CORPORATE OR PHILANTHROPIC
KINDNESS COALITION.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
UNTIL THEN, I'LL SEE YOU SOON, STEPHEN, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT
OF WORK TO DO.
>> Stephen: I KNOW.
AND YOU'RE MAKE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE OTHER GUYS'
SHOWS TONIGHT, TOO, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: SAY HI TO THEM FOR ME.

>> Stephen: AMEN.
