- If only she'd accepted Donald Trump's invitation for a date, the legendary actress and star of 'The Children Act' might be our current First Lady.

"The male genitalia, as we can all agree, I think, is, upon first sight, relatively alarming." -- Emma Thompson 💀💀💀
I would say your comment deserves more "thumbs up" but that sounded "relatively alarming".
Only Emma could say that so eloquently. 😆
Best line ever!
She is hoot!
And she's perfectly right, dammit!
There certainly is no creator; but if there would be, he _definitely_ wouldn't have won _any_ notable design award for
the optical trainwreck which he stapled between us men's legs, that's for sure!
She is a perfect mixture of intelligence, class, talent and humour.
And wonderful weirdness. I love that last line in the clip, Shakespeare.
We can admit that Stephen reacted faster than the speed of light to jump into that dance ! This made me so happy ! I absolutely adore Emma Thompson. "Would you like a drink ? YES !!!"
What would have happened if Colbert had not known how to dance?
@@el7jake I'm 100% sure she knew. And he's definitely the type who knows how to dance.
He doesn’t miss a beat
I used this dance as an example of "getting a kick out of something" for an ESL student. I get a kick out of watching Emma come out dancing and how quickly Stephen jumped right in and joined her.
She's so random. She's so intelligent. I love her so.
She’s just so natural - no pretense, no forced charms, just pure light. What I’d give to grab a beer and have a nice chat with this brilliant woman.
Were we watching the same thing? She was all false charm and I detected a bit of trying on some of Emelia Clarke's mannerisms.
@@alextate418 Apparently we were not watching the same thing. Emma has always been a clever, sometimes silly, breath of fresh air.
I think she prefers gin... but otherwise heck yeah lol
Alex Tate we were not apparently. She’s as eloquent, funny and spontaneous as can be always
SweetAsCookiePie yes she does! She once said herself that she is “practically gin based” afgdhfv
I feel like Colbert should just interview Emma Thompson every night. This was everything.
Laura Hinrichsen I AGREE!
He should've booked more than one segment for her at least.
@@puirYorick I think a lot of people would have loved if she was the only guest that night! It's too bad they can't predict ahead of time how well an interview will go, if they knew how well it was all going to flow between them, they probably would have booked more time for that interview. ❤
@@laurahinrichsen3917, it falls to the producer and booking agent to be aware of that sort of thing. It's exactly the kind of specialized knowledge that I'd expect from a booker.
Emma has loads of past appearances with multiple interviewers to judge by and she's known to be sharp, witty and a great spontaneous conversationalist.
Someone dropped the ball again. Colbert didn't even extend an invitation for her to return on-air as Carson or Letterman would've done with a similar case.
T.V. has become so "corporate" all the employees are afraid to execute their roles with any sense of personal authority. How often does Stephen seem terrified that his power cable will get yanked mid-show if he strays from whatever was written down in show prep? His *edginess* even seems carefully manufactured. He needs to allow his native talent some freedom to grow and improvise and interact more naturally.
I'd watch it.
Guests like Emma are just not on long enough. She could talk for half the show and not get boring...Stephen, keep interesting people on the show longer!
Sometimes he does release the extra bits that there isn't enough time for.. check his CZcams videos... They are Wonderful
kristine-the-cat-queen : 💯
"It really is tempting to... boil him" lol I did not see that one coming
They mentioned Fatal Attraction but flipped Trump from Michael Douglas to the bunny smooth as silk!
So refreshing to see a female celebrity with flats
Yay. She is huge. Nothing more sexy than a strong lady. I am only 5'1 :( i dream of flats too.
Try
Indeed. I long for the day that everyone looks back and says "How bizarre that it was normal for women to walk around in un-even shoes", and Emma's there trying to make it happen.
You talk about here shoes, do you?
Fun fact, historically high heels were a male fashion statement. It started out as what can only be described as "military chic," where the upper class of "gentlemen" would wear boots with heels to affect (i.e. pretend) they had a military cavalry background. Most of them didn't of course. The lords of fashion being what they were and boots being not particularly suited to courtiers in a palace, these became shoes with heels. The heels then grew taller and taller as a sign of status, although not to the extremes women wear today. Once these high heels became entrenched as a male fashion statement, women's boots and shoes followed suit until everyone was wearing tall heels on their shoes and boots.
Eventually the fad for men's shoes with heels declined, more-or-less concurrent with the decline of horse cavalry as a military force in most of Europe. However women's heels not only remained, but began to evolve into the extremes we see today all on their own.
What an entrance!
She so thoroughly wears herself and is so sharp! Have seen her in several performances through the years, even her appearance on Cheers many moons ago which was terrific comedy!
I was poised to type those EXACT words! Haha
She is simply delightful!!
Love Emma. Have for years. If you want to see some lovely sweet comedies, watch: Peter's Friends and Love Actually.
Haven't even seen the whole clip yet, had to see the comments! Amazing entrance!...ballroom dancing is definitely not my thing but it's so beautiful to watch
she has aged so beautifully
A conversation between Emma Thompson and Donald Trump could be characterized as sense and insensibility.
@@yolandaqualls6822 Wonderfully well put ! Emma Thompson is awesome..A tacky property owner .....!!! Has to be an even tackier President . But gone at last ....White House down in the end . Scary !
What a self-esteem she's got! There seems to be NO stage fright at all, just pure joy of entertaining people. If there are any fears - she is hiding it pretty well. Awesome!
That’s because she doesn’t take herself seriously and she’s just having fun with the whole thing!
One of the best entrances for sure.
Her backdoor is also pretty nice.
I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair! Best guest ever!!! Lol
Emma Thompson's coolness is of a delightfully scrumptious and quirky nature. Such a fine and funny woman.
She is one of my favorite actresses/actors indeed!
Don't try so hard to sound English.
I can’t help but imagine a quirky British lion who eats camels.
But well said, camelshit.
Stiff upper lip, chap.
Love her
I'm just a Scandinavian lass with a fondness for the English language.
A fine women??
Ahaha watch her incident when she occupied a farmers land
She has the most stunning facial expressions, she's so captivating.
“In those days, he was just a tacky property owner” 😬
Literally impossible taking your eyes off of her. Mesmerizing, classy, charismatic. What a treat.
MimiDoubleOH3 right? I’ve watched it 3 times 😍
and she’s like that everytime, everywhere. Sublime woman.
That's because she's not only strikingly beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well. I'd say her smile tells it all: She just couldn't _beam_ like that if she were only a tarted-up shallow Barbie doll. For a smile like that, having a radiant personality is a must.
Classy is a vulgar word.
So far, the best entrance of any guest. Stephen managed the situation magnificently.
“Relatively alarming” hahaha 😂😂
"In those days he was a tacky property owner "😂😂. Lol so apt for describing Donald trump
It’s so rare that i like an actor more after seeing who they really are... 😀
jerk fudgewater so true! But in the cases of Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry and her, the screen only reveals a fraction of their magnetic and brilliant selves
Amen to that :)
she has fantastic wit!
Same
jerk fudgewater yup
RESPECT to one of the BEST of actresses we have on today
R.E.S.P.E.C.T find out what it means to me tralalala
Love her in Much To Do About Nothing.
Aye
Bad Fairy
Much what?
Shakespeare darling XXX
I'm in my twenties and I think she's insanely gorgeous.
So Stephen actually listened to Graham and "liquored his guests up" 😂
Maybe on HBO, not so much on CBS/ NBC/ ABC.
Hahahahaha so truw
I love her and I appreciate she’s looking fabulous without high heels.
She's looking fabulous in flat shoes because she's just so fabulous a person. She'd rock a bin liner and get away with it. Fabulous comes from within.
Sue Wilkinson
Oh, I completely agree Sue. I just really appreciate a woman who can show us that so beautifully.
Not sure we would've gotten that wonderful dance number with heels.
Wendy Pastore what’s wrong with high heels? (Alothough high heels can be a pain after wearing them for a long period of time)
WarriorPhantom8482
It’s just nice to see role models for not wearing them so girls can know they have a choice as they grow up. Heels can be painful, make it hard to walk, thro off the alignment of hips and spine, over shortens some tendons while over stretching others. Some women love them anyway or don’t mind them others suffer them because they’re considered dress code for women. It should be optional.
Emma is so savage I love her. She is adored here in the UK.
As well, she should be, would love to have a long dinner conversation with her.
You have got to be fucking kidding me !!!!....Let me guess I bet you live in the London luvvie bubble
@@billynomatz9233 If you don't like her, why do you watch?!?! Nothing else to do than troll all day?!? Are you a bit dumb? Can't you think that there are MILLIONS of people that don't think like you do; that she is a very loved actress?! You can have your opinion, but keep it for yourself and don't force it on others and tell them who they can and can't love based on your opinion!!!! God, your life must be lonely; go and do something with it!!!
Jacqueline Leubin Who is the dumb one here !!! ..that person made a statement saying “she was adored in the uk.....like it is a fact ,the truth is she is not adored in the UK ,a lot of people in the uk thinks she’s a pompous, smug ,luvvie...also she’s getting flack as she is a climate change hypocrite ,jetting all over the world to the protests,Telling the ordinary people to give up their once a year holiday flight,Also I like your comment ,that I can have an opinion ,but I have to keep it to myself !!!..where it’s obviously alright for you to have an opinion and push it ,because there is one rule for you ,and one rule for me obviously So who is the troll ,really,You in fact trolled me
I'm British and everyone I know loves her.
I can’t stress this enough this show has THE BEST BAND
1:09 I love it how Emma just brings him in to dance as he's about to step on the stage and he goes along with it. So cool! 💕😘🥰☺️
Stephen appears smitten and I don’t blame him one bit.
I want to be Emma Thompson when I grow up. I've said that for almost two decades now, so it is a bit of a work in progress. Still. It's good to have dreams!
That's a very good dream!
+Kat
I have the same, she's on my list. I have a list.
Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Tina Fey, Meryl Streep and a couple of more people are on there.
Hmmmm. I want to be Don Rickles. I'm only 55, it could happen.
... I wanna be her underwear...
All the way. Great actress
I can imagine there was just.... a day, a regular random day, where Emma Thompson went "You know what, I do not give a flying frack anymore" and then she didnt! What a legend.
For all the great work she's done, still so underrated. Definitely up there with Streep and Dench and Mirren and Davis.
You are emitting a few think!
And Maggie Smith !
No offense to Meryl Streep (who I love) but Emma one-ups Meryl as she won an Oscar for her writing.
" A spot of rum would be lovely" so very very British lmao
Tea, maybe?
But that made me laugh so hard, you know, the way she said it! She's just perfection!
Always say yes to the rum. I Do!
Yes, reminds me of the Ellen show where she pretends to be British and finally acts/reveals that actually she is American, Doing a complete flip of accent!
She is damn hysterical. And can cut a rug!!!
This whole clip just killed me.
"A tacky property owner... "
Sadly nothing has changed.
A tacky real estate i believe she said. Id love to own property. Woukd that make me tacky?
1:08 very cute and impressive how easily stephen was pulled into the dance. good job of matching her energy
As an older Englishman, I have to say that I adore her. She is smart, funny and beautiful, and I am told by friends who have met her a delight to be with. Thank you for having her on, and for dancing!
Emma Thompson on our Trump predicament: “I’m so sorry for your loss “!!!!
We from overseas all feel kinda sorry for the US right now. Because Trump broke your country by becoming president. 😥
mandboat Thank you. We are desperately trying to hang on. It’s the most terrifying thing to ever happen in my lifetime and I wake up every morning in a complete panic. There are more people being treated for anxiety every day. This monster has not only divided our country, he has become between family and friends and incited such animosity and fear that we a literary living in a complete state of chaos. Your support is welcome
You country is a bless, just don’t give up!! You will be allright !!
Emma and Trump have something in common .. Both have Scottish Mothers. :)
there's always a brainwashed idiot even among the best crowds...
Stephen should have Emma on ALL THE TIME !! And this was the best entrance EVER by the way !
And to this day. she STILL refuses to be stereotyped. How could you NOT love this woman????
He could have interviewed her for an hour...would’ve all been good!
Mrs. Thompson is simply the most delightful British person :)
She is British? Well...nobody is perfect
Adi Adrian what’s wrong with being British?
Adi Adrian Well I am, and I’m perfect (although my wife disagrees).
Adi Adrian She's not from Yorkshire, so she's not. But otherwise she is - well, more than people that post jingoistic bullshit.
Alexander Mayes I don’t know if you are referring to my comment , and how I am “perfect”. But if so, you missed the point of the point of the post, I was not being chauvinistic, the spirit was humor “although my wife disagrees”.
I can’t see you aimed your comment at me, but these things happen when comments are made on CZcams without addressing someone.
Thanks, Stephen! Finally someone pointed out during that anecdote that Emma was *basically* (for legal reasons) playing Hillary when Trump asked her out. A creepy, notable dimension.
It feels like Stephen gets closer and closer to her, as if he adores her.. and who wouldn't? ❤️😂
My god she has aged like exquisite Port. Such a radiant lady.
Best entrance EVER! and Mr. Colbert can actually dance well... thank god SOMEONE in America can dance! LOL Rock on!!! Damn She's funny and smart... and they play so well together... thank you for making me laugh about our horrible president...
Vanilla Ice-Lest we forget...
Ok, Stephen, You can't Ever complain again! You got to dance, talk politics, and have a drink with the Divine Emma!
Great interview! Thank you Emma for your compassion for America!
She has such a wonderful and natural sense of humor. Sharp, intelligent and unique. She is such a gem in film industry with her talents.
. . . I still have a crush on this woman, after more than 30 years. She is a national treasure...
INTERnational treasure...
she really is
I absolutely LOVE Emma Thompson!!!
Why am I also eerily aroused?
She's thrillingly intelligent, and hilariously funny. She omitted the line she used to describe the Trump encounter, which she also described on the Graham Norton show back in the UK. She thought it was one of her friends "having a laugh" and told him to "f-k off." What a giggle. She's great!
Emma Thompson is one of my favorite actors of all time - she's so eccentric and talented I just adore her :)
Wow wow what an entrance .....Love love her ..... she's amazing
"It'd be like looking at the back of Voldemort's head" .... I love when Stephen uses nerdy metaphors to describe real life issues.
I love Emma Thompson. Forever and always. When she cries in Love Actually I cry with her every time. She is such a talented actress. In Sense and Sensibility when she gasps and cries because Hugh Grant's character is not married my heart jumps and I cry happily with her. Love her.
I also cry with her in that scene in Love Actually. She does that scene in her bedroom so brilliantly, with Joni Mitchell playing, straightening the bed cover that doesn't need to be straightened, wiping her eyes, and then getting herself together to go out with the kids and her (cheating) husband. Such a great (but so sad) scene.
I love this woman..ONE of the best actresses ever.
That dance in the beginning brought a smile to my face. A reminder to enjoy life.
I ADORE THIS WOMAN!
Joseph Clemente sooooo much!
"A spot of rum would be lovely!"
Just by existing, Emma Thompson makes me smile :)
WOW, what a great segment! The dancing in the opening was immediately awesome, but then Batiste realized there was room to let go, and boy did he! That alone got him a new fan. But then the rest of the interview was absolute gold. If there were awards for best talk show interview of the year, this would be my vote.
1990. Emma was in a comedy movie with Jeff Goldblum (sp?) I went to see it in NZ. It was 2 days before my due date with my first child.
I laughed so hard, at the end I went into labour! Two days later, on my due date, my daughter was born 😍
Thanks Emma. Every time I see you, you come with fond memories of joy and love💓💓 💓
(and the epidural helped😂😂😂)
The Tall Guy! great film
@@speedformercy that's it! Thank-you 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Did you name her Emma?
I hope not.
Cos that name does poses a dilemma,
Cause not much else rhymes with Emma.
Maybe the actor Richard Crenna
(he played the commanding officer in Rambo)
Did you name her Emma?That is my favourite name for little girls
I love Emma Thompson. Talent, intelligence, humor, wisdom, and class.
She's a PoS globalist who has suggested we euthanize all our cats and dogs and EAT THEM for "climate change"
If I could befriend just one famous person, I'd go for Emma's Thompson every time 🥰
Are we really just going to skate by the fact that Steven has a liquor cabinet behind his desk? That could be the coolest thing I have ever seen. I thought he was about to run off stage or maybe send a stagehand to get a drink but this... I love this.
Right?
I believe I’ll drink to that!
William Alexander Rum on the rocks.Ooh no Chaser.I would die choking.
well i mean...on the graham norton show (a british talk show hosted by graham norton) each guest gets their choice of alcoholic beverage so...
@@caligal1090 i love Graham Norton
Clearly some chemistry going on here! 💃🏻🕺🏻
because i thought the same thing and came to the comments to see if i was a looney tune or not
She keeps looking at his beard. Or his lips. What is this :D
+WOKEN'T You're a very odd person.
lockergr I think Colbert seems to gave a connection with almost all his guests...he seems warm and genuine with all his interviews!
@@friedfishy I know!!!! I was thinking the same haha.
"I don't know! He's... he's weird!" Emma Thompson sums it up short, sweet, and so simple even pre schoolers get it! Thank God for Emma Thompson! Lol
I watched it again just for the entrance
Emma Thompson is my spirit animal.
😍OMG, THE RED DRESS!!!💃
Dame Emma Thompson looks soooo fabulous in it...💯💖🌟
Her compassion for our predicament is so sincere. Thank you, Emma.
Their dancing at the top of this interview makes me smile every time.
One of my favourite stories from her early days was how she used to scare Stephen Fry by running at him naked!
Geralt ofTrivia lmao 😂 she’s the best!
Really!???!!! I need to look this up. That is f'ing hilarious!
Angelina Williams It's mentioned on her QI episode.
Watch the movie Peter's Friends --- a reunion of the Footlights where she charges Stephen Fry naked and he freaks out. Great movie
Many people say Meryl Streep. I say Emma Thompson
Right bloody on!
@@Ernie1978 tsk, what is this ! a competition? why do you have to ruin the vibe , the wonderful extended delightful moment, to find something/ someone to piss on. keep it to yourself. i was so enjoying the all around flow of positive vibe.
they are two different extraordinarily talented genius artists and strong beautiful woman, who, each in their own way, give us the excellence of themselves to our delight, entertainment, enlightenment, inspiration, and appreciation.
I say both!
Ernesto Or we can not bring her friend down and just say both.
I say why not both
I was never expecting a British Socialist Workers Party reference to show up on the Late Show 😅
+5 respect points
Given the Comrade Delta stuff and the fact they try to take over other people's protests, less respect now.
Oh God. Could Emma Thompson be any more bloody brilliant? Impossible. She is the top of the top as far as I am concerned. Wit to no end and so much fun!
Omg the dance intro✨
Emma never fails to delight me. Every moment with her is pure entertainment
"Good Luck to you, Leo Grande" movie.....FANTASTIC!
She said "Mud in your eye" and that is so fabulously old school British. I didn't know anyone could pull it off quite that well 😍
Oh dear god! He even can dance. Steven is perfect.... and Emma, too!
Sometimes you want an interview to go on and on! Two smart people talking together!
The way the danced, they were sooo cute. Reminded me of fifty’s movies. What a classy Lady
Oh! This free spirited woman! She never taken herself seriously 🥹 effervescent and bubbly character, yet very wise and thoughtful about everything in general 😍 Great Human being! Dame Emma Thompson 🏆
Stephan rock on, amazing dancer.
Awesome interview!! They are on the same level intellectually, and that was the most FABULOUS entrance ever! Love her.
She's a light! Brilliant in all she does. This film, "The Children Act" is her by far, her finest work on film. If you love good film & fine acting - GO see this film. EMMA HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK!
This is the best entry of any guest on any show, just brilliant!
Ms Thompson is such lovely person and an amazing actress as well.
i love how much love there is for her in the comments. this woman is absolutely stunning in every way!
This was SUCH a great interview. From the dance to the drinks and everything in between.
I've been entranced by Emma Thompson's acting, beauty, humanity for decades!
I LOVE EMMA THOMPSON SO MUUUUUUUUUCH!! ❤❤❤❤😭😭😭❤❤
Lemonie Lala not as much as I do!!!! 😍😍😍
😂😂😂😂
OMG! That entry was brilliant!
You can learn so much from Emma ….. just relax and Be Yourself! 👍🥰
That makes Jamie Foxx and Emma Thompson as my favorite Late Show entrances of all time. Not two names you'd normally expect to see keeping company in the same sentence, but that's the magic of Stephen Colbert for you. :)
Oh Stephen, your wife is a very lucky woman! ❤️
I love her. Such a human
I LOVE Emma Thompson's sense of humour!!
She's truly incredible! Beats me how Dame Emma finds time to make films, do the promotion circuit and whatnot, after having taken so many refugees and asylum seekers into her beautiful homes in the most gorgeous parts of Great Britain. Bless her. She should be made a Baroness now - no, a Princess. A star should be named after Dame Emma for her selfless devotion to truth, honesty and tireless humility. OK she accepted a Damehood even though she's a socialist, but hey, who cares? An example to us all.
AntPDC quite fitting I would say because she’s one hell of a Dame !
Damehood is not political.
No titles for Emma . NO NEED
@@billynomatz9233 You need an irony transplant Billy...
AntPDC Oops sorry, I can see it now
Aww so sweet. These two have excellent vibes
