Mark Hamill Reveals A-Lister He Locked Eyes With During Major Wardrobe Malfunction
Mark Hamill was literally caught with his pants around his ankles while presenting an award at the BAFTAs earlier this year. The 'Star Wars' actor recalled the events that led up to the embarrassing moment during a stop by 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on Wednesday night ― and revealed he had locked eyes with a major A-lister after the malfunction occurred. Hamill said he'd tried on the suit he was wearing to the prestigious awards ceremony twice, but the pants were a bit too tight. He asked his tailor to let them out a bit, but the tailor ended up taking things a little too far. 'Cut to us in London, the car outside, 20 minutes before we are supposed to leave,' Hamill said. 'I put the pants on, he let them out four or five inches!' The actor shared that his dresser quickly retrieved a safety pin and secured the pants in the back. 'So I thought I was good to go,' Hamill said. But at the awards show, things quickly went south. 'They introduced me, and as I started walking to the podium, I feel the pin pop!' he shared. 'They were at my knees by the time I got to the podium.' In a clip that Colbert played, you can see 'The Wild Robot' star delivering his lines as he pulls up his pants, not missing a beat. Hamill said he 'looked over to find my wife, but my eyes landed on Demi Moore. So I mouthed to Demi Moore, 'Did you see my pants fall down?''' Moore apparently smiled and gave him a thumbs-up, and Hamill said that Timothée Chalamet later applauded him for keeping it all together. '[Chalamet] came up to me at the after party and said, 'Dude, that was a masterclass in professionalism,'' he said. Despite keeping it together at the moment, Hamill told Colbert that his 'pants are very secure tonight.'

Fact Check: Checking Trump's claim CBS removed online evidence of his interview with Stephen Colbert
Claim: CBS deleted a 2015 episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" featuring an interview with U.S. President Donald Trump from its website; the network has also not made certain clips from the episode available on YouTube. Rating: What's True: The episode in question is not available on CBS' own website — as of this writing (only the latest season of the show, from 2025, is available). Also, some specific exchanges in the interview aren't on YouTube. What's False: However, multiple segments of the 2015 interview between Colbert and Trump are available on CBS' YouTube page. On May 30, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump shared a clip of his 2015 appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and implied that CBS deliberately hid the episode from online viewers. "You are not supposed to see this video," alleged the post on Truth Social, the president's social media platform. "CBS DELETED this entire episode from their official website. You will not find these segments on YouTube either." (Truth Social user @realDonaldTrump) Apparent supporters of the president reposted his claim with video on X (archived) and Facebook. However, Trump's claim about CBS is misleading. It is true that the 2015 episode featuring Trump's appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is not on CBS' official website — but that is likely because the network's website only has recent episodes available. Furthermore, CBS posted segments from Trump's interview on YouTube, and those clips remain online as of this writing. Thus, we rate this claim a mixture of truth and falsehood. The landing page for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on CBS' website is here; at the time of publication, it only shows episodes from Season 10. The earliest episode available as of this writing is from May 5, 2025. The clip Trump posted is from a Sept. 22, 2015, appearance on the show; as such, it is a much older episode than the ones available on CBS' official website. On Sept. 23, 2015, the verified "Late Show" YouTube account posted this approximately four-minute clip from the interview with Trump: The YouTube video has over 17 million views as of this writing. One of the exchanges featured in the clip Trump posted — the audience cheering after Trump says, "we're going to build a wall" at 0:52 — is included in the segment posted on YouTube. (The "Late Show" YouTube account also published another video of Trump's 2015 appearance; that clip has over 2 million views.) The rest of the exchanges featured in Trump's video are not included in the "Late Show" YouTube clips but are available to view on the Internet Archive. An unaffiliated YouTube user also uploaded the interview, including some of the exchanges Trump featured in his post, demonstrating that people can, in fact, find multiple segments of the 2015 "Late Show" interview with Trump available on YouTube. The video Trump shared also appeared to frame the interview as more complimentary of the president. For example, in one moment, host Stephen Colbert said: "I want to thank you for running for president, because I'm not going to say this stuff writes itself, but you certainly do deliver it on time every day." However, the video Trump posted cuts off before Colbert reaches the punchline — "you certainly do deliver it on time every day" — making the bit sound less like a joke and more like straightforward praise. This is not the first time Trump has falsely claimed that CBS tried to suppress his 2015 "Late Show" interview. News outlets reported in 2018 that Trump reposted a video of the interview on X, then known as Twitter, with either the same or similar messaging and editing as his 2025 Truth Social post. The 2018 clip Trump reposted is no longer available on the original X page because the account got suspended, but Colbert responded in an Oct. 18, 2018 post on the same platform and linked to the same YouTube videos as above: At the time, The Associated Press reported that a spokeswoman for CBS said full episodes of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" are only available to stream online 30 days after the initial airing. That statement appears to align with the timeline of which episodes are available online as of this writing. We reached out to CBS to confirm that this timeline is still in place and will update this story if they respond. Bowden, John. "Trump Shares Tweet Claiming CBS Suppressed His Appearance on Colbert."

James Comey Got a Call From Trump's Secret Service After His Viral '86 47′ Post
Don't make jokes about 86-ing the President of the United States – especially if you're a former FBI director who was fired by said president. James Comey learned that lesson the hard way after he posted a photo of seashells that wrote out the numbers '86 47.' The former FBI director attempted to clear up his viral photo on Tuesday night's episode of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' saying he and his wife Patrice Failor didn't write out the message but found it on the beach. After speculating that the numbers may have been an address, Failor, who has extensive restaurant experience, remembered '86' was back-of-the-house code for running out of an item, and subsequently used to mean banning a customer from a bar. But in other circles, it's can also be used as slang for killing someone. 'I said, 'I think it's a clever political message.' And she said, 'You should take a picture of it,'' Comedy explained. 'And boom.' Sure enough, that post led to Comey being called by federal authorities. Trump previously said that Comey 'knew exactly what he meant' when he posted that photo. Hours after the post took off, Comey deleted it, writing on Instagram, 'I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.' 'The Secret Service called me that night. I talked to an on duty agent. They asked me if I'd come and be interviewed. I said, 'Of course.' So I went and met with them and told them — like this interview. And I hope and expect that's the end of it,' Comey explained. The former FBI head said the agents acted like 'pros.' '[They asked] what did you intend? What did you understand? Why did you do this? And I gave them the exact same explanation, which is the truth,' Comey said. 'Well congratulations on the attention for your book,' Colbert said, showing off Comey's novel, which he was on the show to promote. During Comey's interview with Colbert, the former federal head revealed that several members of the FBI have told him they are 'struggling' under the current Trump administration. 'They're worried about the reality and the reputation of the FBI right now and they're hunkering down most of all,' Comey said. He also spoke out against Trump's pardon of the Jan. 6 rioters, calling the move, 'an obscenity that will stain this country forever.' Watch the full interview above.

Retired David Letterman Surprises Local 'Nite Show' Audience
Danny Cashman, 47, has been hosting "The Nite Show" at Husson University in Bangor, Maine, for 15 years. The local program airs on several Maine television stations on Saturday nights (and has a YouTube channel). It's set up like a traditional late-night variety show, with an in-house band, an opening monologue, sketches, interviews with live guests, and musical performances. Cashman's top inspiration for his show was "The Late Show with David Letterman," according to the Portland Press Herald, and he's asked the now-retired Letterman, 78, to be a guest on his program for many years. On Saturday night, it finally happened. Related: At Least 50 Local TV Meteorologists Across the Country Were Just Laid Off — Here's Why Dubbed a "mystery guest," no one in the audience knew Letterman was actually going to appear. So it was a huge surprise when he walked out and joined Cashman at his desk to be his final live guest for one of the last episodes. "This is a self-made man," Letterman said, after receiving a standing ovation from the crowd and sitting down in the guest chair. "This is the product of his life for the last 20 years." Despite being a local program airing against NBC's Saturday Night Live, Cashman told Letterman that his show has remarkably high ratings during the time slot. Still, Cashman said it was time to put down the microphone. (He told News Center Maine that it just felt like "the time was right to do some other things.") "This is no small accomplishment, because I'm guessing this is not network supported, it has not been syndicated supported, I have great admiration for what you've done," Letterman said. Letterman also talked about the struggles he has faced since leaving his own show. "It's not easy, it took me quite a long time to break the daily routine," Letterman said. "Now people treat me differently." Here's the full episode. Related: This Entrepreneur Pranked Mark Cuban on National Television.

George Clooney explains why wife Amal skipped star-studded premiere of his Broadway show
George Clooney celebrated the opening night of his Broadway play, "Good Night, and Good Luck," without his wife Amal by his side. Clooney debuted the play he wrote and stars in at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City Thursday night. While speaking to reporters, George said Amal missed his big night because "she's with the kids," according to People magazine. The couple have twins, Alexander and Ella. Even without Amal, Clooney's night was star-studded. Cindy Crawford attended the show with her husband, Rande Gerber, and daughter Kaia. Hugh Jackman, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Lopez and Julianna Margulies were also photographed at the event. Clooney's family relocated to New York while he focused on his Broadway debut. In February, Clooney was a guest on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and shared how his family was adapting. "They love being here. I mean, come on, how do you not love this? It's New York City." "They love being here. I mean, come on, how do you not love this? It's New York City. "Actually, a play is kind of a good schedule because you're working at night. You get to see the kids during the day. So, it's OK," Clooney added. "Good Night, and Good Luck" is Clooney's Broadway adaption of the 2005 movie he directed. The play, like the movie, portrays the true story of CBS news journalist Edward R. Murrow's exposé on Sen. Joseph McCarthy. In the movie, Clooney played Fred W. Friendly, but in the play, he takes on the role of Morrow. At the 2006 Oscars, Clooney received a nomination for best director and original screenplay for "Good Night, and Good Luck." Clooney has worked on Broadway before. In 1986, he appeared in the play, "Viscous," about the life of punk musician Sid Vicious. His work in the play earned him his first agent and on-camera role, according to People.
