WE'RE HERE WITH OUR FRIEND MINDY KALING.
MINDY, THANKS SO MUCH, I GOT A LOT OF MY SHOPPING DONE.

ONE IS THIS.
>> I'M GOING TO HIT MY ASSISTANT WITH THIS.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE GOING TO GET THIS THROUGH T.S.A.?
YOU LIVE IN LOS ANGELES.
>> YES, BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT.
THIS MAKES ME LOOK LIKE I CLEAN MY OWN HOME WHICH I DO.
>> Stephen: SPEAKING OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T CLEAN YOUR OWN HOME,
YOU HAVE SAID OF YOUR CHARACTER THAT SHE ENJOYS A WHITE MALE
LEVEL OF PRIVILEGE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THAT IS YOU OR YOUR CHARACTER?
>> MY CHARACTER.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
I LOVE HOW SELFISH SHE IS.
>> YEAH, I THINK SHE HAS JUST DECIDED THAT SHE'S GOING TO LIVE
HER LIFE WITH THE KIND OF FUN ENTITLEMENT OF A WHITE MAN.
>> Stephen: IT IS FUN, I'VE GOT TO SAY.
IT'S PRETTY FUN.
I RECOMMEND IT.
>> IT IS.
>> Stephen: HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
>> YOU OPEN ANY NEWSPAPER, TURN ON YOUR TV AND SEE YOURSELF
ACCURATELY REPRESENTED AND REPRESENTED A LOT.
>> Stephen: SURE, RIGHT.
YOU'RE A LATE-NIGHT TALK SHOW, WHITE MAN PRIVILEGE.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
O I THOUGHT, WOULDN'T IT BE FUN IF I PLAYED A CHARACTER WHO
DOESN'T SEE HER SFERL AS A -- HERSELF AS A SUBJUGATED PERSON?
>> Stephen: AND SHE'S NOT.
NO, SHE'S ALMOST OVERLY CORRECTED, SHE'S ALMOST
DELUSIONLY CONFIDENT, WHICH IS FUN TO PLAY.
>> Stephen: DO A LOT OF PEOPLE COME UP TO YOU, BECAUSE I'M SURE
A LOT OF YOUNG WOMEN ENJOY YOUR WORK.
I LEARNED ABOUT YOU THROUGH MY DAUGHTER.
DO THEY TREAT YOU LIKE AN OB/GYN?
>> YEAH, THAT'S THE NICE PART WHEN YOU PLAY AN OB/GYN IS
PEOPLE FEEL CLOSE TO YOU AND SAY, OH, YOU COULD BE MY OB/GYN,
AND THEN THINGS THAT'S TOO PERSONAL LIKE THEIR SEX LIVES
AND ADVICE, BECAUSE I PLAY THAT KIND OF CHARACTER.
>> Stephen: AND WHERE ARE THE STIRRUPS?
I'M READY TO GO.
>> YEAH, LOOK AT THIS GROWTH AND I HAVE THIS BECAUSE I'M A PEOPLE
PLEASER.
>> Stephen: HENCE THE MOP.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: LET'S LOOK AT THE BOOK.
THIS IS THE PAPERBACK OF "WHY NOT ME?."
I HAVE TO SAY ONE THING I'M HONORED BY.
ON THE BACK YOU HAVE A DIAGRAM OF YOUR HEART.
I DON'T KNOW HOW CLOSE YOU CAN GET.
BUT THIS PART OF THE HEART RIGHT THERE, CAN YOU SEE?
IT SAYS "STEPHEN COLBERT."
>> I DIDN'T JUST MAKE THAT FOR THIS APPEARANCE.
>> Stephen: IT'S IN THE HARD COPY AS WELL.
I'M HONORED TO BE IN THAT PART OF YOUR HEART.
WHY?
>> I THINK YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION FOR YOUNG COMEDIANS.
I'M A BIG FAN.
>> Stephen: AND I AM OF YOURS.
( APPLAUSE ) >> I THINK MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT
WAY AND I THINK YOU'RE PLACED BETWEEN MY PHONE AND PRAISE AND
ATTENTION.
SO YOUR SPACE IS ALMOST AS BIG AS THE PLACE IN MY HEART FOR MY
CELL PHONE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
AND I LOVE MY CELL PHONE.
>> Stephen: I KNOW.
I LOVE MY WIFE VERY MUCH AND OCCASIONALLY LEAVE THE HOUSE
WITHOUT HER, BUT I NEVER LEAVE WITHOUT MY PHONE.
( APPLAUSE ) ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: LET'S TALK ABOUT A FROBLGHT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
YOU AND AMAZING PEOPLE ARE DOING A REBOOT OF THE "OCEANS" TRILOGY
STARTING WITH "OCEANS 8", ALL FEMALE.
WHO ELSE?
>> SANDRSANDRA BULLOCK, CAITLIN CHAD, RIHANNA --
( LAUGHTER ) DOES IT SOUND LIKE I'M JUST
NAPING PEOPLE?
>> Stephen: NAME THE BEST PEOPLE YOU CAN IS THE GAME.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THEY BRING THEIR SKILL TO THE CAPER.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
>> I'M REAL SCARED, MAN, BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT THAT LIST OF
PEOPLE, I'M, LIKE, I KNOW THAT SKILL IS GOING TO BE, LIKE, I
GET ATTACKED BY THE GUARD DOG SO THEY CAN BREAK INTO THE CASINO.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE DELICIOUS TO GUARD DOGS, IS YOUR SKILL.

BLENDER, THIS WOULD BE, THIS IS THE MINIMTHE MINDY KALING.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE SOMETHING OF A FASHION ICON.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE.
ANYTHING YOU WOULD CHANGE ABOUT MY STYLE?
ANYTHING YOU WOULD TRY OUT?
I'M PRETTY CONSERVATIVE IN THE WAY I DRESS.
>> I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU IN A PINK SHIRT.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
YEAH, I THINK A PINK SHIRT IS SOMETHING MEN SOMETIMES DON'T
WANT TO TRY TO DO, BUT IT CAN ADD A CURVIAN FLAVOR TO YOUR
SHOW.
>> >tephen: IT'S WHAT I HAVE BEEN LACKING?
>> IT WOULD BE LIKE, HEY, I'M COOL!
YOU'RE ACTORS-CREATIVE TYPES.
YOU LOOK LIKE A HEDGE FUND GUY.
