Tonight's guests are Ricky Gervais on the Daily Show and Morgan Freeman on Colbert.
Ricky Gervais will be talking about the show Derek that he created and stars in.
Although Gervais has performed iterations of the Derek character in his stand-up routines, this is a much more fully formed attempt at making a memorable character and telling his story. Dramatically it’s a huge departure for Gervais in that, like all characters that are perceived to have either mental or physical disabilities (the argument about where Derek falls on the spectrum is secondary here), the physical manifestation of the character requires the actor to remake himself completely. And in doing so, the emphasis on the transformation puts the actor under a larger than normal microscope.
In Derek, Gervais juts out his lower jaw, his mouth remains open, teeth exposed. His hair is oily and unkempt -- he nervously brushes it to the side as a tic. He’s either shuffling or loping about when moving. Gervais plays Derek slightly hunched over, his eyes darting away from contact, with the character’s social skills clearly amiss. You can’t, in short, stop looking at Derek. It’s a bold choice that cuts both ways for Gervais.hollywoodreporter.com

Or he could be discussing global warming
And one of the factors having great impact on the world is climate change, and when asked about the scientific method falling “out of favor” in the public eye when it comes to climate change, Freeman gave a blunt answer.
Freeman: My answer to that is too simple, I have to let James talk about it. I think the people who are resisting the idea of climate change are stupid. [laughs]

He may also be discussing Through the Wormhole
He is rather busy for someone who turned 77 on June 1.
