>> Stephen: DID YOU SAY YOU HAD A DREAM ABOUT ME?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: THIS IS A FAMILY SHOW.
WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT TO TELL ME?
CBS, CBS.
>> IT WAS IMPORTANT AND MY WIFE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT I TELL
YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU TOLD YOUR WIFE ABOUT THIS DREAM.
>> SOME THINGS YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR WIFE AND IT'S THE KIND OF
MARRIAGE WE HAVE.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO POINT OUT.
I'M NOT YOUR WIFE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> SO WE-- I CAME-- IN MY DREAM I CAME ON YOUR SHOW.
>> Stephen: IN YOUR DREAM, YOU CAME, IN YOUR DREAM, ABOUT ME.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) JUST-- THESE ARE JUST JOKES,
FOLKS.
>> THESE ARE WET DREAM JOB S.
>> Stephen: GO AHEAD, YEAH.
>> Stephen: I'M FLATTERED.
FLATTERED, FRANKLY.
>> SO IN MY DREERNLG I'M SITTING HERE WITH YOU AND IT'S-- IT'S
NOT GOING WELL.
SO -- >> Stephen: NOT POSSIBLE.
NOT POSSIBLE WITH A MICHAEL WEATHERLY!
>> NO, YOU'RE-- AND YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH ME.
YOU'RE, LIKE, TRYING TO HELP ME.
>> Stephen: I'M STRUGGLING?
>> WITH ME.
BECAUSE I'M A DISASTER.
AND IN MY DREAM, YOU TURN TO THE AUDIENCE, AND YOU GO, "CAN WE
JUST TAKE A BREAK?" ( LAUGHTER )
AND THEN YOU TURN TO ME AND SAID, "SERVING OKAY?"
AND I SAID, "WELL, I'M A LITTLE TIRED."
AND YOU'RE LIKE, "I CAN TELL!" ( LAUGHTER )
SO YOU TOOK ME OFF TO THE CORNER, AND YOU SAID, "EXCUSE
US."
AND EVERYONE, YOU KNOW, SAID, "STEPHEN, THANK YOU."
I WENT OVER THERE, AND WE TALKED ABOUT STUFF-- LIFE, MARRIAGE.
YOU KNOW "HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?
GOT TO BALANCE THE WORK AND THE LIFE.
GOT TO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF OR WHAT KIND OF
FATHER ARE YOU GOING TO BE TO YOUR CHILDREN?"
I SAID, "I FEEL BETTER, STEPHEN."
YOU SAID LET'S GO DO THIS."
WE DID THE INTERVIEW, AND IT WAS FANTASTIC.
AND I WOKE UP AND I SAID, STEPHEN COLBERT JUST FIXED ME.
>> Stephen: WORK WOW.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: COME WITH ME?
COME WOOW ME?
CAN WE TAKE A BREAK.
COME WITH ME FOR A SECOND.
NO, NO, COME WITH ME.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
MICHAEL, IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR DREAMS ON A
TALK SHOW.
( LAUGHTER ) OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK
OVER THERE.
ARE YOU OKAY?
>> I'M GOOD.
I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A FUNNY LITTLE BIT --
>> Stephen: SYSTEM T.S.A., IT IS, IT IS, BUT EVERYONE'S REALLY
UNCOMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW?
LAUGH.
>> I'M SO SORRY.
SHOULD I FLINGS.
>> Stephen: NO, NEVER APOLOGIZE.
THEY'RE LIKE PIRANHA.
THEY'LL TURN ON YOU IN A MINUTE.
>> SO CONVEY CONFIDENCE.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE A FRAGILE CREATURE, YOU'RE IN SHOW
BUSINESS, YOU'RE A LITTLE BOY, AND YOU NEED LOVE AT ALL TIMES.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) SO HOW YOU BEEN?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> I'VE BEEN TERRIFIC, STEPHEN.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
>> Stephen: NOW, LISTEN YOU-- WERE YOU EVER IN PUBERTY?
>> YES.
I-- I WENT THROUGH A JOHN DENVER SORT OF PHASE THAT JUST ENDED,
REALLY.
>> Stephen: IS THIS YOU?
>> THAT IS ME.
I BORROWED JOHN OLIVER'S GLASSES.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THAT IS REALLY
SEX, MAN.
>> I GOT THE BIEBER, JOHN DENVER --
>> Stephen: DOROTHY HAMILL.
>> THERE'S ACTUALLY-- THERE'S ACTUALLY-- THERE'S PICTURES OF
HILLARY CLINTON THAT LOOK A LOT LIKE THIS, ACTUALLY, WHEN SHE
WAS AT YALE.
>> Stephen: OH, YES, YES, I'VE SEEN THOSE PHOTOS.
I'VE SEEN THOSE PHOTOS >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS SHOOTING
FOR.
VERY FEW PEOPLE WERE HILLARY FANS IN '83, BUT I WAS ONE OF
THOSE.
>> Stephen: YOU LOOK LIKE A 12-YEAR-OLD FIRST-YEAR LAW
STUDENT THERE.
I UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU WERE A KID, YOUR DAD SOLD-- I WOULD
LOVE THIS.
IF I WAS A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY-- YOUR DAD SOLD SWISS ARMY KNIVES.
>> YES, THAT IS TRUE.
MY FATHER OF AN IMPORTER OF SWISS ARMY KNIFE FROM 1973 ABOUT
TO THE LATE 80s.
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHEN THERE WAS ONLY ONE.
THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE AND THAT WAS IT.
YOU HAD TO GET IT FROM SWITZERLAND.
>> IT WAS ORIGINAL.
>> Stephen: I HAVE A SWISS ARMY KNIFE HERE AND THIS IS ONE
OF THE DELUXE ONES.
THIS HAS THINGS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO US WHAT SOME OF THE RARER VERSIONS, THE TOOLS
ON A SWISS ARMY KNIFE ARE.
PLEASE DON'T HURT YOURSELF.
WE'RE NOT INSURED FOR THIS.
>> THIS ONE IS SUPER GOOD.
IT'S A SAW.
THAT WILL SAW THROUGH ANYTHING, THAT WILL JUST --
>> Stephen: THIS ONE?
>> OPEN IT THAT WAY.
>> Stephen: THERE'S THE SAW.
>> WE'LL DO THE-- WHERE IS THE PICTURE OF ME.
YOU CAN SAW THAT IN HALF.
HERE I'LL HOLD THIS SIDE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: THERE YOU GO.
>> AND NOW I CAN BE ME.
SO THAT'S A SAW.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> AND SO ACTUALLY, WHEN I WAS IN THE FIFTH GRADE, MY FATHER
WAS EXPLAINING TO ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAYING COST
FOR SOMETHING AND WHOLESALE AND THEN RETAIL.
AND SO I CAUGHT ON TO THIS IDEA THAT I COULD ACTUALLY GET THAT
KNIFE WHICH WAS RETAILING FOR, LIKE $50 FOR $7.
I ASKED DAD IF I COULD GET A FEW.
AND THEN WHAT I DID WAS I BROUGHT THEM TO SCHOOL AND I
STARTED SELLING THEM.
AND THEY WERE MOVING LIKE HOT CAKE S.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE TALK SWISS ARMY BLACK MARKET.
>> EVIDENCE ADDING 10%%.
>> Stephen: $7 AND YOU WERE CHARGING $7.70.
>> I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF ME.
>> Stephen: TWO CANDY BARS.
>> TRAVEL TIME, SCHOOL BUS.
I WAS PUTTING IN A LOT OF HOURS.
>> Stephen: MR. HUBER, NOT PUBER-- ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD NOT
HUMOR HIM AT ALL.
MR. HUBER CAUGHT ME AND BROUGHT ME UP TO THE HEADMASTER'S OFFICE
AND I HAD AT THAT POINT A DUFFEL BAG WITH ABOUT 50 KNIVES IN IT
-- >> Stephen: YOU, THEY WOULD
PUT YOU IN JAIL NOW.
>> YES, YES, WELL, YOU KNOW, IT WAS THE 70s.
AND THE HEADMASTER, MR. STERNS, LOOKED AT ME VERY STERNLY, AS
HEADMASTERS SHOULD HAVE THOSE NAMES, AND HE SAID, "THIS IS
VERY WRONG AND NORMALLY YOU WOULD BE HEAVILY PUNISHED."
AND I SAID, "I'M SORRY."
AND HE SAID, "OKAY.
I NEED 10 CHAMPIONS, AND IF YOU COULD GET MY SEVEN FISHERMEN" --
>> Stephen: WOW, HEADMASTER ON THE MAKE YOU.
>> Stephen: HAVE "BULL" SEASON TWO.
OKAY.
SEASON TWO OF "BULL."
THE PEOPLE ARE LOVING THE BULL.
AFTER 13 SEASONS OF "NCIS," WHICH IS THE MOST POPULAR DRAMA
ON THE PLANET.
YOU CAN'T, LIKE, WALK DOWN THE STREET IN TAIPEI, SOMETHING LIKE
THAT, YOU'RE FAMOUS EVERYWHERE.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE ANOTHER HIT ON YOUR HANDS?
>> IT'S A LOT OF FUN TO DO BULL.
AND THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT BULL IS HE'S CHANGED A LITTLE
BIT IN SEASON TWO, AND HE HAS A LITTLE MORE FLIM-FLAM IN HIS
GLAM.
AND I'M-- ( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: EXPLAIN TO THE PEOPLE WHAT BULL DOES.
THEY MAY NOT KNOW.
>> BULL IS LIKE A TRIAL SCIENTIST, WHICH MEANS THAT HE
GOES INTO THE COURTROOM AND HE'S TRYING TO WIN THE CASE FUR BY
READING WHAT THE JURY MIGHT BE THINKING.
>> Stephen: HELPING YOU PUT TOGETHER THE PROPER JURY FOR
YOURSELF AND HOW TO-- >> BUT HE'S WORKING A LOT OF
AIPGLES YOU WOULDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT.
WE HAVE GLENN GORDON CAMERON, AND & HE HAS TAKEN THE REINS AND
MOVED IT IN A TOTALLY INSANE DIRECTION WHICH I AM DEEPLY IN
LOVE WITH.
IT'S A FAST-PACED, REALLY ENERGETIC, QUASI-COMEDY, WHERE
WE GO TO COURT.
>> Stephen: AND DO YOU-- DOES BULL ALWAYS HELP INNOCENT PEOPLE
OR DOES HE SOMETIMES GET GOD GLT PEOPLE OFF THE HOOK AND WE JUST
DON'T CARE ANYMORE AS A NATION?
( LAUGHTER ) NO, NO.
HE'S-- IT MATTERS TO BULL WHETHER OR NOT-- WHETHER OR NOT
GOOD IS BEING SERVED.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING AS INNOCENT.
ARE THESE PEOPLE INNOCENT?
>> WELL, SOMETIMES YOU DO THE WRONG THING FOR THE RIGHT GLAENS
ANSWER THE QUESTION, SENATOR.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> I'M JUST SAYING -- >> Stephen: ARE THE PEOPLE
ALWAYS INNOCENT, BULL.
>> I'LL GIVE YOU A FOR INSTANCE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A FOR INSTANCE.
LET'S SAY-- I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A FOR INSTANCE, IT WILL
TAKE TOO LONG.
I'LL TELL THU -- >> Stephen: THE ANSWER IS, NO,
THEY'RE NOT INNOCENT.
I'LL GIVE YOU THE ANSWER.
IT WON'T TAKE LONG AT ALL.
>> IT'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME GRAY AREAS.
YOU CAN SPELL GRAY WITH AN "E" OR AN "A."
>> Stephen: TRUE.
>> EVEN GRAY IS A GRAY AREA.
>> Stephen: GUILTY!
ALL RIGHT.
WE HAVE A CLIP.
WE HAVE A CLIP WHERE BULL IS DOING HIS BULL.
>> HE IS.
HE'S GRAY.
>> Stephen: HE'S BULLING IT UP AND WHAT IS BULL DOING IN THIS
CLIP?
WITH WHOM IS HE BULLYING.
>> HE IS TALKING TO A KID WHOSE GIRLFRIEND HAD GLIOBLASTOMA, IT
WAS TERMINAL.
>> Stephen: IT'S GETTING FUNNIER
>> AND HE ASSISTED IN HER TAKING HER OWN LIFE AND IS NOW BEING--
BUT IT WAS HER IDEA AND SHE DID ALL THE STUFF.
HE WAS JUST AN ACCESSORY.
>> Stephen: THAT'S SOME DARK STUFF, MICHAEL WEATHERLY.
>> YES, BUT HE'S BEING ACCUSED OF MURDER AND, OF COURSE, HE WAS
REALLY TRYING TO HELP HER.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND.
>> IS HE "DR. DEATH" OR A KID IN LOVE WITH A GIRL WHO'S GONE.
>> Stephen: JIM.
>> LOOK AT ME.
DID I SAY, "GAME OVER?
DID I SAY WE WERE DEFEATED?
THEY MAY HAVE MORE POINT ON THE BOARD, BUT THE GAME IS FAR FROM
OVER.
>> DON'T PATRONIZE ME.
>> YOU DON'T GET A NAME LIKE "BULL" BECAUSE YOU GIVE UP
BEFORE THE GAME IS OVER.
>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THAT'S YOUR NAME.
YOU WERE BORN WITH THAT.
>> MAYBE I WAS.
MAYBE I WASN'T.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> IT'S A GRAY AREA!
>> Stephen: FOR THE RECORD, FOR THE RECORD, YOUR CHARACTER'S
NAME IS "DR. JASON BULL."
>> WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
>> Stephen: YES, WE DO!
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: WELL, MICHAEL WEATHERLY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE.
>> A PLEASURE.
>> Stephen: ALWAYS WONDERFUL TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DREAMS.
PLEASE SHARE THEM MORE THE NEXT TIME.
MAKE THEM SPICY NEXT TIME.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
"BULL" AIRS TUESDAYS AT 9:00 ON CBS.
THAT'S MICHAEL WEATHERLY, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH NATASHA LEGERRO.
