In the latest episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host welcomed the multi-talented artist Andrew Bird as his special guest. This episode was a treat for both fans of Andrew Bird and actor Paul Giamatti. Stephen Colbert announced that he would be interviewing Giamatti to benefit the Montclair Film Festival as part of the north toore Festival in New Jersey.
However, before diving into the interviews, Stephen took a moment to express his fascination with technology. He playfully mentioned how the future is now, even though “now” is actually in the past, and we are often led to believe that it is in the future. With that, he introduced a segment called “Cyborgasm,” which showcased some mind-boggling technological advancements.
The segment kicked off with the unfortunate news of last week’s global IT outage caused by a faulty update that crashed 8.5 million Windows devices. The repercussions of this crash were massive, leading to a complete halt in banks, airlines, and even a grocery chain in Germany. Stephen humorously pondered whether this would damage the goodwill people feel towards these industries. He quickly brushed off the technical details behind the crash and sarcastically urged the cyber security company CrowdStrike to fix it, without needing any unnecessary explanations.
Moving on to lighter topics, Stephen highlighted the latest features being introduced in the tech world. He mentioned the newest model of Roomba, which can now wash its own mop. However, no matter how advanced it becomes, it can never erase the memory of stumbling upon someone having an intimate encounter with a couch.
Next, Stephen shared a fascinating development by a company called Innovative Eyewear. They have announced the world’s first walkie-talkie feature for smart eyewear, allowing people to communicate through their eyes. Stephen couldn’t help but crack a hilarious joke, wishing that people could yell into his eyes.
In addition to eyewear, robotics company Ascape debuted a fully automated AI massage experience. They claim that their product, called the Massage T, can deliver the benefits of a 60-minute massage in just 30 minutes. Stephen couldn’t help but deliver a punchline, highlighting the irony of a truly great massage being one that you hope will be over soon.
Wrapping up the “Cyborgasm” segment, Stephen shared an intriguing study that suggested AI can detect cancer with 177% more accuracy than doctors. However, he humorously added a note of caution regarding who might be performing your prostate exam, leaving the audience in stitches.
After the “Cyborgasm” excitement, Stephen concluded the episode by teasing the next guest, Kevin Hart, leaving viewers eagerly awaiting the next installment of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert continues to entertain and enlighten its audience with its mix of engaging interviews and witty comedic segments. With Stephen Colbert at the helm, viewers can always expect a night filled with laughter, clever banter, and thought-provoking discussions.
