WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.
2
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'M HAPPY TO SAY MY FIRST GUEST TONIGHT IS A TWO-TIME ACADEMY AWARD WINNER YOU KNOW FROM LA LA LAND, POOR THINGS, AND THE FAVORITE, AND BIRDMAN.
3
SHE NOW STARTS IN THE NEW FILM, BOUGONIA.
4
HERE'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
5
AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR, I'M NOT THREATENING YOU.
6
Or you.
7
But the following is my best guess of how the next 48 hours are likely to transpire.
8
The police and soon thereafter the FBI will begin a statewide manhunt using all of the methods at their disposal and the combined resources of neighboring jurisdictions.
9
My company is a key job creator and economic engine of the region.
10
I am crucial.
11
Think of it like you abducted the governor, but worse.
12
That's the level of bureaucratic urgency you're contending with here.
13
In all humility, I can say that.
14
I'm also a high-profile female corporate executive.
15
Does that add a certain, you know, politicized optics to this?
16
I would say absolutely.
17
I would say that's a tremendous factor for you to consider here.
18
Please welcome back to The Late Show, Emma Stone.
19
OH!
20
HELLO.
21
HI.
22
HI.
23
THERE YOU GO.
24
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
25
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
26
YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, THAT YOU'RE, EMMA IS A STAGE NAME FOR YOU.
27
YES.
28
OKAY.
29
AND THAT YOUR GIVEN NAME IS EMILY.
30
YEAH.
31
EMILY STONE IS A LOVELY NAME.
32
What I haven't asked you before, and I'm really curious, what was in competition for Emma?
33
Did you try anything else?
34
Because when I was younger, like, young actor, I thought, like, I'll go with Xerxes.
35
Like, what was...
36
Did you actually go with Xerxes?
37
No, I changed Colbert to Colbert.
38
That's all I did.
39
But does your family say Colbert?
40
Some of us say Colbert, and some of us say Colbert.
41
But enough about me, as fascinating as I am.
42
Tell me.
43
And I get it, I get it.
44
You want to lay down over here?
45
We'll talk.
46
A hundred thousand percent.
47
I know.
48
DO YOU WANT TO HOST THE SHOW FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR?
49
APPLY.
50
I'M JOKING.
51
NO THANK YOU.
52
SO WHAT WAS IN COMPETITION WITH EMILY?
53
OKAY, SO NOT ONLY WAS IT IN COMPETITION, BUT I ACTUALLY ADOPTED A STAGE NAME FOR, I WOULD SAY, LIKE, SIX MONTHS, BECAUSE AT SCREEN ACTORS GUILD, IT'S LIKE A BUSINESS BUREAU.
54
LIKE, YOU COULD ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON WITH THAT name.
55
First come, first serve on any name.
56
Exactly.
57
And so I decided, I was 16, and I decided I wanted to be Riley for like six months.
58
So I was Riley Stone, which is a beautiful name.
59
But I did an episode, like a guest part, on Malcolm in the Middle.
60
And they kept going like, Riley, Riley.
61
And I had no idea who they were talking to.
62
Truly.
63
And I was like, I cannot be Riley.
64
Like, it's such a, it came out of nowhere.
65
I was just like, cool name.
66
I'll just be Riley.
67
So I then changed it to Emma because it's close enough to Emily.
68
It triggers something.
69
Exactly.
70
Exactly.
71
Yeah, something happens.
72
Well, the new film was called Bugonia.
73
Yes.
74
Directed by Yogos Lanthimos, starring you, Jesse Plemons, Aiden Delbiss.
75
For the people who don't know, tell them what it's about.
76
Well.
77
Or don't.
78
Or don't.
79
If you don't want to, we'll just free ball this.
80
Here's like an elevator pitch.
81
Elevator pitch.
82
I'll try an elevator pitch.
83
Ding dong.
84
There are two.
85
Ding dong.
86
There are two men who are very...
87
This is what our log line is, so I'm trying to just do it from memory.
88
Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap the CEO of a major pharmaceutical company convinced she is an alien from outer space.
89
And it's a comedy!
90
Okay.
91
It's really funny.
92
All right.
93
It's a classic story.
94
Yeah, yeah, it's a tale as old as time.
95
You're a suspected alien.
96
There's a lot of people who suspect that there are aliens among us these days.
97
And I'm curious, of the people that you've worked with in our industry that we call showbiz, who do you think would make a good candidate for a secret alien?
98
Willem Dafoe.
99
100%.
100
You did not have to think about that very long.
101
It's so simple.
102
I mean, don't you?
103
Of course.
104
If it was like a Wilhelm if it was actually an alien, everyone would be like, yeah, obviously.
105
And a great one.
106
Like, if they're all like Wilhelm, then bring him on.
107
That's fantastic, yeah.
108
Land upon Earth, please.
109
Yes, he's an alien in a very well-fitted man suit.
110
That's right.
111
Oh, my favorite alien.
112
This is your frith time.
113
I like frith.
114
Frith?
115
This is your frith time working with Yorgos Lanthimos here.
116
I GOT TO IMAGINE, I LOVE THE GREEK ACCENT SO MUCH, AND I GOT TO IMAGINE THAT YOU'VE NAILED A YORGOS IMPRESSION AT THIS POINT.
117
HERE'S THE THING, IS I'VE WORKED ON SPEAKING GREEK, I'VE WORKED ON READING GREEK, BUT DOING A GREEK ACCENT IS NOT MY FORTE.
118
OH, BUT CAN YOU DO A YORGOS?
119
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, HIS MOST WELL-KNOWN PHRASE, FAMOUS AMONGST OUR CIRCLE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED ON MULTIPLE FILMS WITH HIM IS, This is not going to SOUND GREEK.
120
THIS IS A DISASTER.
121
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
122
REALLY?
123
IT COULD BE ANYTHING.
124
NO MATTER WHAT IT IS.
125
YEAH, LIKE, THIS COFFEE IS A DISASTER.
126
THIS DAY IS A DISASTER.
127
HOW'S THE MOVIE GOING?
128
IT'S A DISASTER.
129
EVERYTHING.
130
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY, ONLY STONE WHO HAS MADE A REAL CONNECTION WITH THIS DIRECTOR.
131
I LOVE THIS PHOTO.
132
IS THIS THE SCREEN ACTORS?
133
OH, YES.
134
THIS IS YOU AND YOUR MOM, KRISTA, RIGHT THERE.
135
Yeah.
136
And your mom is a big fan.
137
My mom.
138
Of the director, of Yorgos.
139
She's a huge Yorgos fan.
140
This is like her exact, I never would have thought, but this is like her exact lane of humor and this is her kind of thing.
141
She was like, Begonia is, you know, it's really great, but Kinds of Kindness was it for me.
142
And I was like, wow, it's like a three hour triptych film, three and a half hours long.
143
And she was like, it's just so him.
144
And I was like, okay.
145
Amazing.
146
Does he know how much she loves him?
147
He knows.
148
And strangely, like, because I was a producer on Poor Things, I was a producer on Begonia, and I took her early on to, you know, early cuts when he was still taking notes for the edit.
149
And I was like, maybe this, maybe this.
150
And he's like, I don't know, what did Krista think?
151
I was like, well, there's this one scene that, you know, I can't give away.
152
But like, she thinks that it's too much of this moment, it should go like this.
153
And then edited it.
154
I was like...
155
So your mom is giving notes on feature films now?
156
He listens to my mom.
157
Like, he really respects her taste.
158
And he's like, well, if Chris just said it, okay.
159
All right, yeah, I'll change it.
160
I'm like, huh, what if we change this?
161
He's like, nope.
162
But if Chris did think so, yeah.
163
Now, growing up with your mom and your dad, I suppose, but growing up, did you get a sense of, like, what your mother's taste was?
164
Oh, yeah.
165
Because she was 15 in 1975 when SNL first aired, and she would watch it with her family,
166
and she introduced me to Gilda, I mean, not to the person, but to the star that was Gilda Radner, who is still my absolute hero.
167
Emily Lutella, Rosanna Rosanna Dammer.
168
Rosanna Rosanna Dammer, and Elisa Lutner.
169
And so she was, yes, she was integral in that kind of world of SNL.
170
And then my dad also, great taste.
171
Steve Martin, Bill Murray, all of it.
172
So that was the...
173
You've hosted SNL, right?
174
Five times, Stephen.
175
Wow.
176
I thought so.
177
I thought you were a five-timer.
178
I can't stop saying it.
179
Five-timer.
180
Have you brought your folks to SNL to see you host?
181
Oh, yeah.
182
That must be great.
183
Oh, it's the best.
184
It's so incredible.
185
And yeah, SNL is like my favorite place in the entire world.
186
So, yeah, it's been special.
187
Well, thanks for stopping by the Ed Sullivan.
188
This is good, too.
189
No doubt.
190
Yeah, it's pretty good, too.
191
Yeah, no worries.
192
I like it here as well.
193
No.
194
Can we do a sketch?
195
Can we do a sketch?
196
100%.
197
OK, next time.
198
Next time.
199
Wait.
200
Wait.
201
Hey.
202
No!
203
Hey, I'm here till May, baby.
204
Okay.
205
We'll write it up.
206
We'll send you some pitches.
207
Now you have to do a sketch.
208
I'll do a sketch.
209
I'd love to.
210
One of the things you did for this, you shaved your head for the film.
211
Yeah.
212
But you wanted the audience to be surprised that you'd shaved your head.
213
Yes.
214
So, you know, with the shaved head, you went out in public, but you wore really good wigs.
215
Oh, that was, I only really wore that wig once.
216
This is a good wig.
217
It was a great wig, but the problem is, is I'm so unsubtle and just like generally stupid that I was like, the wig looked good, but the whole night I was like, can you tell it's a wig?
218
To everyone, they're like, we're pretty sure she's wearing a wig since she moved it around a lot and kept saying like, there was like a lip read video where I was like, it's a wig.
219
So I, and this is a wig.
220
It was so, I was like, be really bad at keeping any serious.
221
Have you thought about being in the intelligence community?
222
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
223
I've shaved my head on camera before.
224
Yeah.
225
How did you feel about the shape of your head?
226
I loved having a shaved head.
227
Did you like it?
228
Yeah, I really, I really, I lucked out and I went, oh, not, no, no, not too many bumps.
229
Oh, I had four moles that I had removed the next day.
230
Well, it's good to know.
231
And your girl was like, shouldn't this be a match since it's one take?
232
And I was like, they nicked my head.
233
I'm not walking around with four giant moles.
234
Wow.
235
Sorry.
236
Did you like the feeling?
237
Because I loved the feeling.
238
Oh, it felt so good.
239
Taking a shower with a shaved head is amazing.
240
And every time you're thinking, you really run your hand over your head.
241
Wow.
242
I felt like I was in the shower with a stranger.
243
Washing his head.
244
Huh.
245
Yeah.
246
It was really nice.
247
Were you?
248
What?
249
Were you?
250
No.
251
Oh.
252
I knew everybody in there.
253
Thank you so much for being here.
254
Thank you for being here.
255
Thanks for having me.
256

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
