THIS WEEK, AMERICA HAS BEEN
GRIPPED BY THE HISTORIC AND
DEEPLY STRESSFUL EVENT PLAYING
OUT ON THEIR TELEVISIONS.
OF COURSE, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE
NETFLIX SERIES "CHEER."
THIS DOCUMENTARY SERIES IS A
HUGE PHENOMENON.
IT FOLLOWS THE NAVARRO JUNIOR
COLLEGE CHEER SQUAD AS THEY
PREPARE FOR THE NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIPS.
IT'S INCREDIBLY COMPELLING.
HERE'S JUST A TASTE FROM THE
TRAILER:
>> MY GOAL WAS TO BE THE BEST
CHEER PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY.
>> WE ONLY COMPETE ONCE FOR TWO
MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS IN
DAYTONA.
THAT MAY BE YOUR LAST TIME IN
YOUR CAREER.
>> YOU WORK SO HARD YOUR ENTIRE
LIFE FOR A MOMENT.
>> DO IT AGAIN.
>> IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE OF THE
TOP TEAMS AT THE COMPETITION,
YOU HAVE TO STEP IT UP.
>> WHOEVER THOUGHT OF CHUCKING
SOMEONE INTO THE AIR AND SEEING
HOW MANY TIMES THEY CAN FLIP...
THAT PERSON IS PSYCHOTIC.
BUT, YET, I'M THE CRAZY PERSON
THAT DOES IT.
>> Stephen: WATCHING THAT REALLY
TOOK ME BACK TO MY COLLEGE DAYS,
BECAUSE I WATCHED A LOT OF
DOCUMENTARIES BACK THEN, TOO.
 (  LAUGHTER  )
EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS
SHOW.
AND THE ONE THING PEOPLE LOVE IS
HOW THE CHEERLEADERS MOTIVATE
EACH OTHER WITH SOMETHING THEY
CALL "MAT TALK."
TAKE A LOOK:
>> MAT TALK IS WHEN YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH A ROUTINE, AND SOMEONE
IS YELLING FOR YOU AND CHECKING
YOU IN AND GIVING YOU CUES.
THAT WAS MAT TALK.
AND JERRY?
>> YEEEEEEEEEES!
>> YOU CAN HEAR HIM FROM THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOR.
>> FIVE, SEVEN, EIGHT!
GET HER UP!
>> GET UP!
WORK, WORK!
WORK, WORK!
DOWN, WORK, WORK!
JADE, YOU'RE GORGEOUS!
98 POUNDS!
>> Stephen: THAT'S HOW AMAZING
THESE ATHLETES ARE.
THEY HAVE FOUND A POSITIVE WAY
TO SCREAM A WOMAN'S WEIGHT AT
HER.
 (  LAUGHTER  )
"MAT TALK" IS REALLY INSPIRING.
I THINK THESE STRESSFUL TIMES,
WE COULD ALL USE SOMEONE
CHEERING US ON LIKE THAT.
WHICH IS WHY TONIGHT, I'M PROUD
TO INTRODUCE "THE LATE SHOW'S"
NEWEST SPONSOR.
JIM?
>> ARE YOU FEELING EXHAUSTED,
UNINSPIRED, LACKING THE
MOTIVATION TO DO EVEN THE
SIMPLEST THINGS?
THEN YOU NEED MAT TALK FOR
REGULAR PEOPLE, THE ONLY
NONF.D.A. APPROVED SOLUTIONS FOR
SEEMINGLY SMALL IMPOSSIBLE
TASKS.
>> GET UP!
WORK!
WORK!
IT'S ALL ABOUT WORK!
>> PUSH!
PUSH THAT BLANKET OFF YOUR BODY,
GIRL.
>> FASTER, GIRL!
YES!
>> DECIDING WHEN TO CROSS THE
STREET.
>> NOW'S YOUR CHANCE.
>> LET'S GO!
>> YOU ARE WALK THIS!
LET'S GO!
LET'S GO!
>> AND EVEN THE MOTIVATION TO
SPIENG AT WORK.
>> MICHELLE, HOW ARE THOSE "Q" 4
NUMBERS WORKING.
>> UHM.
>> COME ON, MICHELLE, YOU'RE NOT
STUPID.
>> SAY THE NUMBERS, SAY THE
NUMBERS, 5, 4, THREE, TWO, ONE,
GO!
>> ACTUALLY, THE NUMBERS ARE
LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.
>> ACTUALLY, COULD YOU BE QUIET?
I'M TRYING TO MAKE A CALL.
>> PUT THE RECEIVER NEARER.
>> IN ANY EVENT POUNDS.
>> IN SEVERE CASES WE NOW OFFER
THE COACH MONICA BOOSTER SHOT.
>> YOU WERE SENT THIS EMAIL FOR
A REASON.
YOU CAN DO IT.
I DON'T THINK SHE CAN DO IT.
>> MAT TALK FOR REGULAR PEOPLE,
BECAUSE YOU GOT TIRED FROM JUST
WATCHING CHEER.
>> YES!
>> YES, GET IT, GIRL.
>> NO!
YOU DON'T GET TO SAY THAT.
 (  LAUGHTER  )
>> Stephen: WE'LL BE RIGHT
BACK WITH EDIE FALCO.
