About this episode

Stephen Colbert interviews Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Pedro Pascal, discussing politics, entertainment, and their latest projects.

President Trump’s trip to China kicked off as Americans are suffering from high prices at home, the president went on an epic late night social media blitz, and RFK Jr. says the public need not worry about the Hantavirus outbreak. Stephen Colbert’s extended interview with Julia Louis-Dreyfus has it all: a casual kiss between two friends, useful advice for a guy who is prepping for his series finale, and a personalized late night tribute cooked up by the writers of “Veep.” Enjoy the moments that didn’t make it to air, then catch Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the new film, “The Sheep Detectives,” in theaters now. And acclaimed actor Pedro Pascal gets chummy with Stephen Colbert and offers hints about what to expect from his character in the new film, “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” where he stars opposite one of his childhood idols, Sigourney Weaver.
