On Friday night, Stephen Colbert welcomed legendary actor, restaurateur and humanitarian Robert De Niro to The Late Showor so it seemed. The interview was taped Tuesday and didnt air until Friday, as the comedian explained to his TV audience, which meant that his guest couldnt comment on the explosive Mueller Report that dropped Thursday.
The occasion, as it were, was the 2019 Tribeca Film Festivalrunning April 24 May 5which De Niro co-founded in the wake of 9/11 to help revitalize the lower Manhattan area.
Colbert kicked things off by asking about his stint playing Robert Mueller on Saturday Night Live, and questioned why the actor called playing the special prosecutor investigating President Trump and his cronies a civic duty.
I have no other way to say it, I guess. Its a civic duty. Its my civic obligation to play Mueller, De Niro replied. Im hoping that it goes further. I dont know whatll happen, but I keep saying that, I dont know whether this is actually possible in reality, where I can handcuff him and take him away in an orange jumpsuit.
Why wont you give the president a chance, Robert De Niro? Colbert jokingly queried.
Thats what I said right after he was elected, Give him a chance. I give everybody the benefit of the doubt. This guy has proven himself to be a total loser, offered De Niro, not mincing words.

They have lost and can’t admit it. Sad.
Bobby De Loserino?
Yup!
Just go ahead an try it you squinting homunculus.

Lets see;
Billionaire, check. Hottest wife EVER, check. President of the United States, check.
Yup. Total loser.
Loved that movie. Yet another case where I just have to enjoy the character and pretend I don’t know what a douchebag the actor really is in real life.
The TV shows Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are similar. The actor portraying the Saul Goodman character in both series is a total tool. Appeared on those insane ads in 2016 begging Electoral College electors to switch against Trump.
Trump lives in Bob’s head under a spotlight.
New season coming any day now on Netflix!!
Haha.
Humanitarian? How, exactly, do libs define humanitarian? Since they use the same term to describe an unrepentant Nazi collaborator; it loses its original meaning.
Or, do they mean humanitarian in the Bernie mold? Three dachas, a million bucks per annum, a wife robbing her employer blind, and still, he digs deep; finding it in his little commie heart to give a whopping 0.1% to charity. Bernie really gives Vice Perv Biden a run. It was hard to top that $400 per year the serial sexual abuser of women and DOCTOR Jill were giving every year.
And now Big Bobby. He has done what, exactly? How have I been so blind? In what multitude of ways has this kind and generous soul shared his largesse with the less fortunate? Donated his time and energy to important and worthy causes? Please, someone, jump in and lift the veil of ignorance clouding my vision.
He has probably done enormous good for wounded soldiers and veterans, right? Abused children? Funded a battered womens shelter?
Oh, I get it. He has opened his sprawling estate to take in illegals seeking asylum; is that it?
I am sure its something yuge. Libs would never casually toss the word humanitarian around.
Next, we must ask ourselves why we would give a rats ass why anyone should care what a bloated, drunken, raving sod thinks about anything.
Does he fantasize about being in another movie that doesnt suck before he dies?
the irishman? Seriously? How about the Oldishman.
Not sure what person under 45 wants to see this movie.
I’m 50 and I don’t want to see a bunch of old men, even if they are made to look different ages throughout, which is of course absurd.
“Goodfellas” has been on my Top Five Movies of All Time list for 30 years, so it's hard for me to hate De Niro....
But I'm getting there.
Communists always fantasize about hauling people away, never to be seen again.
Martin Scorsese - 76
Robert De Niro - 75
Al Pacino - 78
Joe Pesci - 76
Harvey Keitel - 79
Anna Paquin - 36
Somebody needs to check him for bolts in his neck.
Harvey is still hot.
Well his anti Trump stuff seems to have kept him onside with the #metoo movement. It looked at one stage that he may have been sharing a cell with Harvey W. until he came out with his F#CK TRUMP statement. Now that has all gone quiet for him. What a lucky coincidence /s
Yeah I’m dying to see that.
OR I can hang out with my older aunts and uncles for an evening.
What I like about Al is I’m sure he’s a liberal but I don’t know of any statements he’s made.
He probably has, but for me to not know any means he doesn’t go out of his way to pretend he’s more than an actor.
Either way, a show about guys close to 80 doesn’t intrigue me at all.
we Could rename some of the OLDER movies these guys are in:
Cranky Bull
OldFellas
The Oldfather
Old Streets
A Bronx Nursing Home
Two “club feet”?
DeNiro may not mince words but he certainly twists them beyond recognition. He obviously is feeling a noose tightening around is neck.
