>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!
WE'RE BACK WITH DUA LIPA.
YOU JUST LAUNCHED SOMETHING.
YOU'VE GOT TO EXPLAIN TO ME HERE.
IT IS CALLED "SERVICE 95".
WOULD YOU CALL A GLOBAL CONSI # CONSIERGE SERVICE.
>> I'LL GIVE YOU SOMEBACK STORY.
SINCE I WAS YOUNG, I'M A LITTLE ORGANIZED AND CRAZY.
I LOVE TO KEEP LISTS AND I WRITE DOWN LISTS WHETHER IT'S
RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATIONS, MOVIES, I BOOKS, PLACES, HOTELS,
PLACES TO STAY, NO MATTER WHERE I AM.
I KEPT ADDING TO IT WHEN I WAS TOURING, CONSTANTLY PLACES I SAW
ONLINE.
KEPT ADDING TO IT WHEN TALKING TO MY FRIENDS, AND MY FRIENDS NO
MATTER WHERE THEY ARE IN THE WORLD THEY CAN SEND ME A TEXT
MESSAGE AND BE OKAY, I'M HERE, WHAT CAN I DO, WHERE'S THE BEST
SHOPPING?
I TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
I SAY, OKAY, THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN DO.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> AND THAT WAS KIND OF THE IDEA INITIALLY BEHIND IT OF, OKAY, I
WANT TO SHARE MY LISTS, RECOMMENDATIONS, THOUGHTS ALL
INTO ONE NEWSLETTER AND THEN THE IDEA GREW MORE AND MORE.
WELL, I ALSO THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT
THOUGHTS, PERSPECTIVES, STORIES, ARTICLES THAT ARE REALLY
INTERESTING THAT MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T FIND AS EASY.
I WANTED TO MAKE ACTIVISM ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE WHO WANTED
TO GET INVOLVED.
I THOUGHT THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE GOING ON ONLINE AND
SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO FILTER LEARN ABOUT, AND I WANT TO HELP
GIVE PEOPLE THE TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO LEARN THINGS AND MAYBE -- IN
MAYBE A DIFFERENT WAY.
>> Stephen: IN THAT REGARD, YOU HAVE AN UP AND COMING
PODCAST CALLED "AT YOUR SERVICE" THAT HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET.
ARE YOU GOING TO BE INTERVIEWING PEOPLE?
>> I AM.
>> Stephen: I KNOW YOU SUBBED IN FOR MY FRIEND JIMMY KIMMEL ON
ABC.
YOU CAN SIT IN HERE ANY"TIME," IF YOU WANT.
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: I'M EXHAUSTED.
( LAUGHTER ) DO YOU LIKE BEING INTERVIEWED OR
INTERVIEWING?
SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BEING WHERE YOU ARE AND THEY LIKE THE
SENSE OF CONTROL WHERE I AM.
( LAUGHTER ) I BEING ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.
>> I LIKE -- I'M REALLY ENJOYING INTERVIEWING PEOPLE, I REALLY
AM, AND I REALLY LOVE THE RESEARCH ELEMENT TO IT AND
LEARNING ABOUT PEOPLE.
>> Stephen: IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK ME?
( LAUGHTER ) >> PUTTING ME ON THE SPOT.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU'RE THE GUEST, YOU GET TO DO WHAT YOU
WANT.
IF YOU'D RATHER INTERVIEW, YOU MAY INTERVIEW ME.
>> OKAY, WELL -- LET ME THINK.
JUST ONE SECOND.
>> Stephen: IT'S CBS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: THERE ARE LIMITS.
>> OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
UM -- OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
BACK THAT WAY, PODCAST, VERY, VERY SERIOUS STUFF.
SO -- >> Stephen: I LOVE YOUR SHOW
BY THE WAY, AMAZING AUDIENCE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: I'M SUCH A FAN.
I'M SUCH A FAN.
I WAS SO NERVOUS BACKSTAGE.
>> I'M SUCH A FAN OF YOU, I WAS SO NERVOUS FOR THE INTERVIEW.
I APPRECIATE IT YOU HAVING ME HERE TONIGHT.
>>.
I THINK SOMETHING YOUR VIEWERS CONNECT WITH IN YOUR COMEDY AND
YOUR HOSTING SKILLS ESPECIALLY IN THE PAST FEW YEARS IS HOW
OPEN AND HONEST AND AUTHENTIC YOU ARE ABOUT THE ROLE YOUR
FAITH PLAYS IN YOUR LIFE.
>> Stephen: INTERESTING.
>> AND I WAS WONDERING, IS THERE ANY, YOU KNOW -- DOES YOUR FAITH
AND YOUR COMEDY EVER OVERLAP?
AND DOES ONE EVER WIN OUT?
>> Stephen: I THINK, ULTIMATELY, US ALL BEING MORTAL,
THE FAITHFUL WENT OUT IN THE END, UT I CERTAINLY HOPE, WHEN
I GET TO HEAVEN, JEEZ HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR -- JESUS HAS A
SENSE OF HUMOR.
BUT I WILL SAY THIS, SOMEBURN WAS ASKING -- SOMEONE WAS ASKING
ME EARLIER -- THIS RELATES TO MY FAITH, I'M A CHRISTIAN AND A
CATHOLIC, AND IT'S ALWAYS CONNECTED TO THE IDEA OF LOVE
AND SACRIFICE BEING SOMEHOW RELATED AND GIVING YOURSELF TO
OTHER PEOPLE AND DEATH IS NOT DO FEET, IF YOU -- DEFEAT, IF YOU
SEE WHERE I'M GETTING AT.
SOMEONE ASKED ME WHAT MOVIE I LIKE, AND IT'S "BELFAST."
I'M IRISH-AMERICAN, AND IT'S SUCH AN IRISH MOVIE, AND IT'S
ALSO A CATHOLIC THING, BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY, SAD AND FUNNY ABOUT
BEING SAD.
IN THE SAME WAY, THE SADNESS IS LIKE A LITTLE EMOTIONAL DEATH
BUT NOT DEFEAT IF YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO LAUGH ABOUT IT BECAUSE
THAT LAUGHTER KEEPS YOU FROM HAVING FEAR OF IT, AND FEAR
KEEPS YOU FROM TURNING TO EVIL DEVICES TO SAVE YOU FROM THE
SADNESS.
AS ROBERT HAYDEN SAID, WE MUST NOT BE FRIGHTENED OR CONTROLLED
INTO ACCEPTING EVIL AS OUR DELIVERANCE FROM EVILLER, WE
MUST ACCEPT OUR HUMAN AT THIS.
IF THERE'S A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MY FAITH AND COMEDY,
IT'S YOU ARE NEVER DEFEATED AND YOU MUST SEE THIS IN THE LIGHT
OF ETERNITY AND FIND SOME WAY TO LOVE AND LAUGH WITH EACH OTHER.
>> WOW!
