About this episode

Stephen Colbert discusses current events and interviews Oscar-winner Sally Field, who shares a humorous anecdote about her time on set.

America’s most confusing war might be coming to an end, crews are painting the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, President Trump pressured the FDA to approve fruity vape flavors, and there’s a new scandal surrounding the suppression of government-funded vaccine studies. Stephen’s fabulous wife Evie McGee joins him to help The Late Show audience select the perfect Mother’s Day card for 2026. Oscar-winner Sally Field tells Stephen Colbert that she resisted months of efforts by Robin Williams to make her laugh on set, but one fart noise from Pierce Brosnan made her totally fall apart.
