01:11This is it.
01:12You're here.
01:12Good night.
01:14Well, guys, let's get to some news.
01:16Today at the White House,
01:17President Trump hosted an event to celebrate Women's History Month.
01:22Yep, they discussed everything except Trump's history with women.
01:29Yeah, an hour into the event,
01:30Trump panicked because he didn't have an exit strategy for this either.
01:33He's like, uh, what?
01:35Speaking of the war, um...
01:40After getting mixed messages,
01:42Trump was asked whether the U.S. involvement in Iran
01:44is a war or an excursion,
01:46and he said both.
01:49Yeah, it's an excursion.
01:51That's also a war.
01:52It's like going to Ikea with your spouse.
01:54It's like, okay.
01:55Really? You buy it?
01:56You can't afford that.
01:58Meanwhile, today, Iran's new supreme leader
02:01issued his first public comments,
02:03and weirdly, they were all about
02:04Donna Kelsey's home renovations.
02:06Wow.
02:09Well, guys, Trump announced that
02:11due to the oil shortage and high gas prices,
02:13he's tapping into our strategic reserves.
02:16Yeah, in fact, he just put out a video about it.
02:18Did you see this? Watch this.
02:19This is your president,
02:20and I don't want anyone worrying about the oil crisis
02:23because I've tapped our reserves
02:24and can guarantee one thing.
02:26I have gas.
02:28In fact, they're saying I have more gas than anyone.
02:31No matter the situation, I have gas.
02:33In a quiet meeting? Gas.
02:35During your speech? Gas.
02:36Sleep? That's when I have the most gas.
02:38And good news for all you tree-huggers,
02:40my gas also creates incredible wind power.
02:42So come on, America, follow me,
02:44and we'll let it rip.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:47There you are.
02:53Did you guys see this?
02:54Yesterday, Trump gave a speech in Kentucky,
02:56and at one point, he brought Jake Paul up on stage.
02:59Oh.
03:00And when Jake realized Trump is 79 years old,
03:03he challenged him to a boxing match.
03:09Come on.
03:10Well, this is going viral.
03:11North Korean state media released a photo
03:13of Kim Jong-un test-firing a handgun.
03:16Look at this.
03:19There he is.
03:20Kim Jong-wick.

04:15where runners
04:16are taking Ziploc bags
04:17filled with heavy cream and salt
04:19on their runs
04:20and making butter.
04:24You thought your co-worker
04:25who ran a marathon was annoying.
04:26Wait until you meet a guy
04:27who churns butter while running.
04:30I can't believe I'm saying this,
04:31but I miss the old days
04:32when people were just
04:32slapping each other with tortillas.
04:36Well, get this.

15:32We'll be right back with Sting, everybody!
15:35Sting!
15:39I've always wanted to do a duet with you.
15:41Really?
15:42Yeah.
15:47I thought maybe
15:49finally, I have my own show.
15:51Maybe tonight we could finally do it.
15:53Could I choose the song?
15:55Absolutely, sure.
15:56Can you give me an A major chord?
15:58Here.
15:58Like this?
16:11Our first guest is a 17-time Grammy-winning music icon
16:17who has sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
16:22Wow.
16:23I love this dude.
16:24His musical, The Last Ship, is coming to the Metropolitan Opera
16:28beginning June 9th.
16:30Please welcome Sting!
16:32This could be the last train, this could be the last train.
16:39Maybe the last train, I don't know.
16:42That's right.
16:44That's right.
16:45This could be the last train, this could be the last train.
16:51There you go.
16:52That's exactly right.
16:54That standing ovation.
16:56That's what I'm talking about.
16:57Feel the love!
17:00Feel the love for Sting!
17:05Oh, I love you, bud.
17:06Welcome back to the show.
17:08Sting, you should feel like home here.
17:10You've been here a bunch of times.
17:12Do you remember doing warm-up here one night?
17:16Yeah, I do.
17:17One night, this is a true story.
17:19We were doing late night, maybe?
17:20Yeah, late night.
17:21Late night, and I forget who the guests were even, to be honest.
17:24We were just getting ready for the show, and all of a sudden,
17:26I heard someone that sounded like Sting warming up the audience.
17:29I came out, it was you and the Roots,
17:31singing every breath you take.
17:33And the audience was like, what's going on?
17:35And then you left.
17:36That was my audition.
17:39Did you get the part?
17:40No, I didn't.
17:41Ah, I'm so sorry.
17:42I love having you here.
17:43I know you're a New Yorker.
17:44You've been in New York City a long time now.
17:46It's 1979.
17:48Wow.
17:48What do you remember when you first came here?
17:50What was your first impression of the city?
17:51Oh, I played a gig at CBGB's.
17:54I did three nights, three sets of CBGB's.
17:57I'd just landed at JFK about six in the evening,
18:00and after the second set, it was like three in the morning,
18:03but for me, it was beyond.
18:06So I went for a cup of coffee down the street to Phoebe's on the Bowery,
18:10and I only had enough money for one cup of coffee.
18:14I was finishing my coffee,
18:16and the waitress was about to give me another cup.
18:18I said, please, no, I can't afford another cup.
18:20She said, honey, this is New York City.
18:22The second cup is always free.
18:24I said, I'm moving here right now.
18:26The second cup is always free.
18:29I love that.
18:30It's true, right?
18:32Yeah, it is.
18:33You're also back on tour now.
18:35Sting 3.0 tour.
18:37Congratulations, by the way.
18:38It's around the world.
18:39It's worldwide.
18:40You're going to Australia, I saw.
18:41But then you're doing something very cool here.
18:43You're coming back to the North American days.
18:45You're doing a six-night residency at the Brooklyn Paramount.
18:48Let's go.
18:49Come on.
18:50Beautiful.
18:53It's a beautiful theater.
18:54I've never been.
18:55It's been refurbished.
18:57It's mecca.
18:58It really is gorgeous.
18:59I worked there last year and couldn't wait to get back.
19:01Wow.
19:02And what are you doing?
19:03Are you doing all the hits?
19:04Are you doing new stuff?
19:05What are you doing?
19:06I have nothing but hits.
19:08I know.
19:08No, I'm sorry.
19:09I'm sorry.
19:10I'm sorry.
19:10Oh, my God.
19:12Thank you, everybody.
19:13Take care, everybody.
19:28Go back.
19:30I could.
19:31Of course you do.
19:32I could sing every single one.
19:33I love you so much.
19:35I do want to talk about your newest hit, The Last Ship.
19:39Congratulations on this.
19:40This is a big deal.
19:41You came on the show when this was on Broadway, and now you're going to the Metropolitan Opera.
19:47You're taking it to the opera.
19:48Yeah.
19:49Did you ever see it as playing at the opera?
19:51Well, you know, it's about a shipyard.
19:52I come from a shipyard town in the north of England.
19:54And a shipyard, and a shipyard, if you've ever been, has an operatic scale.
19:58So the only place you can really reproduce a ship is on that stage in the Metropolitan Opera.
20:05So we've done that.
20:06And your pal Shaggy is co-starring with you in this play.
20:10I mean, how fun.
20:11He's playing a sort of spiritual character.
20:14Some people can see him.
20:15Some people can't.
20:16But he brings such a twinkle.
20:18He has a twinkle in his eye.
20:19It's such mischief.
20:20Yeah.
20:20It's wonderful.
20:21I love what the idea of The Last Ship is.
20:25And I feel like, in a weird way, it's a little more relevant now than it's ever been.
20:29It's about my community that the shipyard was closed by the government.
20:33And the shipyard gave everyone their identity, including me.
20:37So when it was gone, there was nothing to do.
20:40So I think we're all in the same situation now with AI threatening our livelihood.
20:45We could all be replaced by a robot.
20:48Not you, of course.
20:49But I certainly could.
20:51Thank you very much.
20:53I feel that threat is there.
20:54That threat is still there.
20:56So I think people will relate to how we, as a community, deal with it.
21:00It's beautiful.
21:01The songs are fantastic.
21:02And you're going to be performing tonight with Shaggy.
21:05And it's mind-blowing.
21:06You guys are going to love it and fall in love with it.
21:08Thank you for doing this and always showing up.
21:10You're the greatest.
21:12I do have to confess to you something.
21:15I've always wanted to do a duet with you.
21:18Really?
21:23I thought maybe, finally, I have my own show.
21:27Maybe tonight we could finally do it.
21:29Could I choose the song?
21:31Absolutely.
21:31Sure.
21:32What song are you thinking?
21:33It's a song that I sang with a friend of mine in a church once.
21:38And the priest was present.
21:40And I had to warn the priest that the lyrics were slightly risque.
21:43But that the song actually, in the end, was a morality tale.
21:48And so it went something like this.
21:49Can you give me an A major chord?
21:52Here.
21:52Like this.
21:54Honey came and she called me red-handed, creeping with a girl next door.
22:01Picture this.
22:02We were both buck naked.
22:06Banging, banging, banging, banging.
22:08On the bathroom floor.
22:12I'm glad you had that line in on me.
22:15How could I forget that I had given her an extra key?
22:21All the time she was standing there.
22:24She never took her eyes off me.
22:27But you called me on the counter.
22:28It wasn't me.
22:29Saw her banging on the sofa.
22:31It wasn't me.
22:32I even had her in the shower.
22:34It wasn't me.
22:34She even called me on camera.
22:36It wasn't me.
22:37Saw the marks on my shoulder.
22:39It wasn't me.
22:40Heard the words that I told her.
22:41It wasn't me.
22:42Heard the scream getting louder.
22:44It wasn't me.
22:45Stayed until the world was over.
22:46It wasn't me.
22:47It wasn't me.
22:48It wasn't me.
22:50It wasn't me.
22:50It wasn't me.
22:51It wasn't me.
22:52It wasn't me.
22:52It wasn't me.
22:53It wasn't me.
22:53It wasn't me.
22:54Biggie Shaggy, everybody.
22:55The last year.
22:57Come to the Metropolitan Opera tonight.
23:00Tonight.
23:01We'll be right back aboard tonight's show.
23:03Stick around.
23:04Check it out, y'all.
23:05It wasn't me.
23:06It wasn't me.
23:06It wasn't me.
23:07It wasn't me.
23:08It wasn't me.
23:10James Cameron and Arnold's.
23:11James Cameron and Arnold's.
23:12Oh, my God.
23:13We got to look at the beat.
23:14I know.
23:15We got to find the beat.
23:16We got to find our new movies.
23:17We got to find the beat.
23:18We got to find the beat.
23:49I gotta have things.
23:52Say I gotta have things, I gotta have things, I gotta have things, I gotta have things, I gotta have
23:57things.
23:57That's a driver. That's right.
23:59I gotta have things, I gotta have things.
24:02Come on. Welcome.
24:04Welcome, welcome, welcome.
24:06Welcome back to the show, Minnie Driver.
24:08Hello, hello, hello.
24:08I love having you here.
24:10I'm happy to be here. Thank you.
24:11I saw a headline that I wanted to show you.
24:14Yes.
24:14I kind of agree. It said,
24:15Minnie Driver is having her minnescence.
24:18Yes.
24:19Your minnescence, it's happening.
24:21Your minnescence.
24:21Are you having your minnescence?
24:23Yeah, I mean, I think so.
24:24Yeah.
24:25My son coined it.
24:26I was doing lots of jobs away from home, playing, you know, sort of a homicidal doctor,
24:32and then a grifting princess on Emily in Paris, and then I had this one-person show in London,
24:38which was this beautiful, amazing...
24:41Oh, yeah, you did one-person...
24:42It was called Every Brilliant Thing, and it was a sensational show.
24:46And Henry, when he finally caught up with me, he was like, my son sounds like a bookie.
24:53He's like, I never see you anymore.
24:55I never, like, I never see you anymore.
24:57I never see you no more.
24:58I don't see you anymore.
24:58Like, where do you live?
24:59Like, why don't I see you anymore?
25:00And I was like, well, you know, I have been working to sort of keep the lights on and everything.
25:04Yeah.
25:04And he was like, Mom, I got to say, man, Mom, you're having a minnescence.
25:09And I was like, I am having a minnescence.
25:12Oh, I love you, honey.
25:14Yes.
25:14It was really sweet.
25:15You are having a minnescence.
25:16You really are.
25:17Top 10 Netflix every time I see you.
25:19I know, it's good.
25:19Oh, it's fantastic.
25:20Thank you. Keep going, keep going.
25:21It's great, I love it.
25:22I've got to go.
25:23This is award season.
25:24Oscars are coming up this weekend.
25:26I have a photo of you at the Oscars here, looking stunning.
25:29Oh, golly.
25:30Yeah.
25:31That's my, oh, oh, that's my mama.
25:34Is that your mom?
25:34That's my mom.
25:35That's your mom.
25:36Oh, that's adorable.
25:37I'm looking at my dad, because that picture was taken as my dress fell off.
25:43And I'm clutching that stole around me to, you know, hide what I had for breakfast.
25:51Really?
25:51And I'm looking at my dad, and my dad was just doing this.
25:55He was like, keep smiling.
25:57Just keep smiling.
25:58Hold it.
25:59Hold it together.
25:59Hold it together.
26:00Yeah.
26:00So I was.
26:01Rooting you on like, okay, it's going to be okay, honey.
26:04Hold the dress on.
26:05That's it.
26:05Did the rest of the night go smoothly?
26:07I mean, the rest of the night was when Robin Williams won.
26:10I had an incredibly beautiful bracelet on that was made up of hundreds of ruby beads.
26:16And as I was clapping for Robin, it busts.
26:21And so there's red carpet on the aisles of the theater.
26:24And I'm not kidding you.
26:25There's red rubies.
26:26But Jim Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger got down on their hands and knees and they found, I mean, there were
26:32hundreds of them.
26:32When I handed the broken pieces back, there were only four missing.
26:37What?
26:38They found every single bead bar four.
26:41No.
26:42James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
26:43James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
26:45Oh my God.
26:46We got to look at the beads.
26:47I know.
26:47We got to find the beads.
26:48We got to find all the rubies.
26:49We got to find the beads.
26:52We got to find the beads.
26:53I was going to try and do a Jim Cameron impression, but I don't really know what he sounds like.
26:58Yeah, exactly.
26:58I'm the king of the world.
27:00Yeah, exactly.
27:01I'm beads.
27:01I'm the king of the beads.
27:02Let's talk about your new series, okay, this event, The Faithful, Women of the Bible.
27:07You're playing Sarah.
27:09Are you nervous when you go into something this big and this different?
27:13Yes.
27:14I think I'm playing a character who, she's in three of the most ancient texts.
27:20She appears in the Torah, in the Bible, and in the Quran.
27:24She's a 5,000-year-old character.
27:26There are, you know, two billion people on this planet who have a very particular idea
27:29about this character of Sarah.
27:32And so I was absolutely terrified taking that on because you definitely, you can barely
27:39please the people in your own house, let alone two billion people around the planet.
27:43Yeah.
27:44However, I believe in the sovereignty of the way people pass amazing characters.
27:49And I believe in the fundamental humanity of this woman who is super relatable, amazingly
27:55strong.
27:55If you think about it in the Bible, I think there are 143 women and only 90 or so of
28:01them
28:01have names.
28:03And there are over 3,000 men.
28:05So there's never been a better time for these women to have an amplification of their voice
28:10and their stories.
28:11And the show is really from the purview of the matriarchs, of these, of Sarah and Rachel
28:17and Leah and Rebecca and Hagar.
28:19Yeah.
28:20We have a short clip here.
28:21Before we do, should we set it up?
28:23Yeah.
28:23So I'm yelling at God.
28:25He has promised me a child and I am older and not able to have a child.
28:32And I also think I'm yelling at him because he talks to my husband and not me.
28:36So.
28:37Uh, here's Minnie Driver in The Faithful, Women of the Bible.
28:40Take a look at this.
28:42Hey!
28:45We did what you asked and nothing.
28:49My womb stays closed.
28:52What sort of a god are you?
28:55Huh?
28:57Your promises mean nothing.
29:01Say something!
29:07Say something!
29:11Say something to me!
29:14Ooh.
29:14That's how you do it.
29:16Minnie Driver, everyone.
29:18The Faithful Women of the Bible premieres March 22nd at 8 p.m. on Fox and airs the next
29:24day on Hulu.
29:25More tonight's show after the break.
29:26Stick around.
29:27Minnie Driver!
29:28Come on.
29:30White dubs on my doorstep.
29:31What comes around goes around like a vortex.
29:34Competition I'm on for.

30:31I love you. Uh, should we just stop here?
30:33Let me just stop here. We have we have an upstate New York connection. We have a London connection
30:39The food connection, you know, you really know when the restaurant when people come in who are the food lovers?
30:45I mean and you are one of them you go and see the chefs first you look at the menu
30:49You talk about everything. You are a food person. No, but you're so personable and helpful and nice and happy
30:54You talk to everybody you treat everyone like a million dollars and I went in I just was like
30:59I'm a fan and you're like no, I know you Jimmy and you kind of knew who I was but
31:03not really
31:03But I think Lauren introduced us and I was like, I'm such a
31:07Fan you're like well come see the kitchen come meet the chef come about. Do you want to see the
31:12oven?
31:13All you want to do is sit down and eat probably
31:15No, no, I wanted to meet you, but look at the oven is right out
31:18Yeah, that's our wood oven
31:19That's so you can see where all the food gets done and I'm telling you this menu
31:23You can close your eyes and just point to anything
31:26It's the greatest thing you've ever had in your life and you're just and you make it so fun and
31:30I was telling you
31:31Years ago when I was in college. I started collecting cookbooks. This is when this is when no one really
31:37there wasn't celebrity chefs
31:38No one really had that many cook because I thought maybe I could complete the full collection of just every
31:42cookbook
31:43But I started just getting you know joy of cooking blah blah blah and someone said you have to get
31:48the river cafe the London River Cafe Ruthie Rogers
31:50That's the coolest cookbook out there and I brought it. This is the one I had
31:54It's like a mirror and it's just the coolest cover. Can you see yourself?
31:57Yeah, I'm looking at myself right now
31:59We look fantastic. Yeah, we look great
32:01Yeah
32:02And so here it's kind of full circle that I'm having you here and this is your cook right here
32:06Which is available this week table for at the river cafe?
32:12What does
32:13What is table for do I know
32:15Well, it's kind of a pun on the word for the river cafe has you know tables have numbers so
32:21waiter can waiters can find it
32:22Yeah, table for is one of the tables in the window. Oh, yeah, and Michael Caine used to love
32:27That was his spot table for but you know, there's no good section of bad section
32:33It's a pretty democratic space, but it was a pun on the word for so it's for Jimmy Fallon or
32:39for Jake Gyllenhaal
32:40Or for for somebody we don't even know table for table force
32:44Ah brilliant see clever always clever
32:48No books clothes in the back which made me laugh it says when I see you I get hungry
32:54And I think that's people probably think that when they
32:57Well the thing about so good about the guests is that
33:01What this book is it's really its memories it's it's your memories its stories
33:06I think everybody has a story and this one is told through the lens of food
33:09And so if I went to for instance Paul McCartney and said can we talk about the Beatles?
33:14He might say I've been there done that or David Beckham about
33:18You know being a footballer Nancy Pelosi being speaker of the house
33:22But if you said we're just going to talk about food who cooked did your mother cook did your father?
33:27Did you go to restaurants when you left home?
33:29Did you have a flat?
33:30Did you ever try to seize somebody through food?
33:33You know food is a it's a connection and what about you?

36:05If I had my way
36:09I'd shake a boat from the river
36:12And I'd bury the old man
36:14I'd bury him at sea
36:18I'd bury him at sea
36:20Yeah
36:24Yeah
36:25Yeah
36:27Yeah
36:27Yeah
36:29Oh
36:34It's all there in the Gospels
36:36The Magdalene girl comes to pay her respects
36:40But our mind is a whirl
36:42When she finds the tomb empty
36:44The stone had been rolled
36:46Not a sign of a corpse
36:48In the dark and the cold
36:50When she reaches the door
36:52Sees an unholy sight
36:54There's a solitary figure
36:56In a halo of light
36:58He just carries on floating past Calvary Hill
37:01In an almighty hurry
37:03Aye
37:04But she might catch him still
37:06Tell me
37:07Where are you going Lord
37:09And why in such haste
37:10Now don't hinder me woman
37:12I've no time to waste
37:14For they're launching a boat
37:16On the morrow at noon
37:18And I have to be there before daybreak
37:21Oh
37:22What can I be missing
37:23The lads will expect me
37:26Why else would the good Lord himself
37:28Resurrect me
37:30For nothing will stop us
37:32We have to prevail
37:34Through the teeth of this tempest
37:35In the mouth of a gale
37:39May the angels protect us
37:41If all else should fail
37:43When the last ship sails
37:47Oh
37:48The roar of the chains
37:50And the cracking of timbers
37:52The noise at the end of the world
37:55In your ears
37:56As a mountain of steel
37:58Makes its way to the sea
38:00And the last ship sails
38:14It's a strange kind of beauty
38:16It's called the Nostia
38:18And whatever it was
38:20That you've done to be here
38:22It's the sum of their hopes
38:25Their despair and their fears
38:27When the last ship sails
38:31Oh
38:31The roar of the chains
38:34And the cracking of timbers
38:35The noise at the end of the world
38:38In your ears
38:39As a mountain of steel
38:41Makes its way to the sea
38:43And the last ship sails
38:47And whatever you've promised
38:50Whatever you've done
38:52And whatever the stationary life
38:55You'll become
38:56In the name of the Father
38:58In the name of the Son
39:00And no matter the weave of this life
39:03That you've spun
39:04On the earth or in heaven
39:06Or under the sun
39:08When the last ship sails
39:11When the last ship sails
39:30When the last ship sails
39:33Come on now
39:35Sting
39:38Shaggy
39:38A standing O
39:40Come on
39:40Tickets for the last ship
39:43Are on sale now
39:44We'll be right back, everybody
39:47And
39:48Boom
39:49One
39:49Kiss my baby girl
39:50Let my lady know I'm gone
39:52Till I save the world
39:53Jumping a high five wheel
39:54Looking super thorough
39:55Rocking long black cape
39:57Like
39:57So when I step in the place
40:00Song
40:01Hands up off
40:01Hands up in the air
40:03Going back and forth
