And he's doing a Scorsese joint in the fall called "The Irishman"!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Irishman_(2019_film)
The Irishman is an upcoming American biographical crime film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Steven Zaillian, based on the book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt. The film stars Robert De Niro as Frank Sheeran, a labor union leader and alleged hitman for the Bufalino crime family, and Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa. Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel, Anna Paquin, Bobby Cannavale, and Ray Romano also star. It is the ninth feature collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese and their first since 1995's Casino, the fourth film to star both De Niro and Pacino (following The Godfather Part II, Heat and Righteous Kill) and the first time Pacino has been directed by Scorsese.
The Irishman was always a desired passion project for Scorsese, and in September 2014 it was confirmed it would be his next film following Silence (2016). Pacino and De Niro were confirmed that month, as was Pesci, who came out of his unofficial retirement to star after being asked numerous times to take the role. Filming began in New York City in September 2017, and lasted until March 2018. With a production budget of $200 million, it is the most expensive project of Scorsese's career.
The film is set to have a theatrical release, followed by digital streaming, in late-2019, by Netflix.

That's exactly why I started posting the political offerings from late night. I know that everyone doesn't stay up as late as I do, and these days we really need some humor! 
The last time he was a guest, he barely said anything. The ice cream was a good idea. And I figured that he'd sound off on Trump! 
Thanks for posting Rhiannon! Di Niro doesn't say a lot, but his presence and body language says so much.
This time, I think Stephen was prepared for it...
