>> Seth: WELCOME TO "LATE

NIGHT."
IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS ON TV,

IT IS 12:35 IN THE MORNING,
WHICH MEANS IT'S ALMOST, ALMOST

COOL ENOUGH TO GO OUTSIDE.
I'D STILL GIVE IT ANOTHER HOUR

THOUGH.
LET'S GET TO THE NEWS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP POSTED A PHOTO
OF HIMSELF WEARING A FACE MASK

YESTERDAY AND TWEETED THE QUOTE,
"MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT IT'S

PATRIOTIC TO WEAR A FACE MASK
WHEN YOU CAN'T SOCIALLY

DISTANCE."
OH, THAT'S WHY YOU FINALLY PUT

ONE ON?
OR IS IT BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE

SAYING THEY'RE GONNA VOTE FOR
JOE BIDEN?

ALSO, LOVE THE ARTSY BLACK AND
WHITE, MAN.

ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT THAT
AND THINK, "WELL, CLEARLY HE'S

BEEN WEARING A MASK SINCE THE
1960s"?

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK YOU
CAN FOOL WITH THIS KIND OF

STUNT?
WELL, OKAY, WELL ‐‐

IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE A LOT OF
PEOPLE.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS
SENT A LETTER TO THE FBI

RECENTLY, WARNING THAT CONGRESS
IS BEING TARGETED BY A FOREIGN

INTERFERENCE CAMPAIGN TO DISRUPT
NOVEMBER'S ELECTION.

"NO, WE'RE NOT!" SAID THE
COFFEEMAKER.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED TODAY
ABOUT HIS FOX NEWS INTERVIEW

WITH ANCHOR CHRIS WALLACE AND
SAID THEY MAY HAVE, QUOTE, "SET

A RECORD FOR DOING SUCH AN
INTERVIEW IN THE HEAT.

IT WAS 100 DEGREES, MAKING
THINGS VERY INTERESTING."

A 100 DEGREE TEMPERATURE, OR AS
TRUMP CALLS IT, HEALTHY ENOUGH

TO GO TO SCHOOL.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RESUMED

CORONAVIRUS PRESS BRIEFINGS
TODAY AFTER ALMOST THREE MONTHS

WITHOUT DAILY UPDATES.
OH, MAN, I HATE IT WHEN A SHOW

COMES BACK AFTER A LONG BREAK
AND I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY OF THE

PLOT LINES.
I MEAN, I KNOW THIS GUY ‐‐

THAT'S THE VILLAIN, AND THIS GUY
IS LIKE THE BUTLER OR SOMETHING?

LIKE THE ROBOT BUTLER?
AND THIS IS THE GUY WHO

SHOULD'VE HAD A SPINOFF BY NOW,
BUT HE'S STUCK HERE AND HE ONLY

HAS, LIKE, THREE LINES AN
EPISODE.

AND THIS IS ‐‐
JANE JETSON?

YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GOING TO JUST
WATCH ‐‐

I'M JUST GOING TO WATCH THE
RECAP.

THE WASHINGTON NATIONALS HAVE
ANNOUNCED THAT INFECTIOUS

DISEASE EXPERT DR. ANTHONY FAUCI
WILL THROW OUT THE CEREMONIAL

FIRST PITCH OF THEIR OPENING DAY
GAME THIS WEEK.

AND I'M KIND OF SURPRISED TO
HEAR THAT FAUCI IS FORCING

SOMEBODY TO CATCH SOMETHING.
[ LAUGHTER ]

THAT'S A NICE DUMB JOKE.
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

TODAY UNVEILED A $775 BILLION
PLAN TO HELP PROVIDE CHILD AND

ELDER CARE.
AND AS FOR MILLENNIALS, WELL,

HE'S GOT HALF A MIND TO TAKE
THOSE GOOD‐FOR‐NOTHINGS OUTBACK

AND CLEAN THEIR PLOW.
EDUCATION OFFICIALS IN

CALIFORNIA HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT
HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS WILL NOT

BEGIN UNTIL DECEMBER DUE TO THE
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.

WHILE IN FLORIDA, PRACTICE HAS
ALREADY STARTED FOR VARSITY

KISSING.
THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO SAID

YESTERDAY HE DOES NOT AGREE WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT THE BORDER

WALL WOULD HELP PREVENT THE
SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS, BUT

ADDED THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO
CONFRONT TRUMP ABOUT IT.

SORT OF LIKE HOW YOU DON'T YELL
AT YOUR DOG FOR PEEING ON THE

RUG TWO WEEKS AGO.
OH, COME ON, HE DOESN'T ‐‐ HE

DOESN'T REMEMBER.
DON'T YELL AT HIM.

A COUPLE IN ST. LOUIS THAT WERE
RECENTLY CAUGHT ON VIDEO

BRANDISHING GUNS AT BLACK LIVES
MATTER"PROTESTERS OUTSIDE THEIR

HOME HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH
FELONY UNLAWFUL USE OF A WEAPON.

BAIL HAS BEEN SET AT $10,000
WORTH OF KOHL'S CASH.

ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY, PEOPLE
WHO PREFER STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

ARE MORE LIKELY TO FIND LOVE AT
A YOUNGER AGE, WHILE PEOPLE WHO

PREFER RUM RAISIN ARE MORE
LIKELY TO DIE ALONE.

AND FINALLY, THE SMITHSONIAN
ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY THAT THE

NATIONAL ZOO WILL REOPEN LATER
THIS WEEK.

"WE BETTER CLEAN THIS PLACE UP,"
SAID THE PANDAS.

[ LAUGHTER ]
THIS HAS BEEN, "PANDAS EATING

PIZZA."
COME ON GUYS, WHAT MORE DO YOU

WANT?
THIS HAS BEEN A MONOLOGUE.

WE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT.

CHRIS EVANS IS HERE.
PLUS, I'LL TALK TO CHEF,

MUSICIAN, AND ACTOR

GOOD NIGHT, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH CHRIS EVANS.

♪♪♪
>> Seth: WELCOME BACK.

WE'RE VERY HAPPY GUEST DRUMMER
NIKKI GLASPIE IS SITTING IN WITH

THE 8G BAND THIS WEEK.
SHE PLAYS WITH MACEO PARKER, AND

HER OWN BAND, THE Nth POWER.
HER NEW EP, "iPHONE SESSIONS"

WAS MADE COMPLETELY ON HER PHONE
AND IS AVAILABLE ON ALL

PLATFORMS.
WELCOME BACK, NIKKI!

OUR FIRST GUEST TONIGHT IS AN
ACTOR AND PRODUCER YOU KNOW FROM

MARVEL'S "CAPTAIN AMERICA"
FRANCHISE AND THE LIMITED

SERIES, "DEFENDING JACOB."
HE IS ALSO THE CO‐FOUNDER OF THE

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT WEBSITE,
ASTARTINGPOINT.COM.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
>> IT WAS TERRIFYING AND

EXCITING.
EXCITING, BECAUSE WE WERE DOING

SOMETHING NEW, EXCITING BECAUSE
IT FELT LIKE WE WERE OF SERVICE.

>> TERRIFYING, BECAUSE FOUR
PEOPLE HAD JUST SAID THEY WERE

GOING TO DO IT.
>> INITIALLY, IT WAS VERY HARD

TO GET PEOPLE TO TRUST US.
>> THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY

HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE
COME THROUGH.

>> SURE.
>> AND ESSENTIALLY TRICKED

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
>> I'M TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO

TRUST US.
I'M HAPPY TO JUMP ON THE PHONE,

OR GET A COFFEE, OR WHATEVER.
WHATEVER'S NECESSARY TO KIND OF

PUT THEIR CONCERNS AT EASE.
SO EVERY TIME SOMEONE WOULD

LEAVE AND SAY, "HEY, THANKS.
THAT WAS REALLY, ACTUALLY

ENJOYABLE."
PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS.

>> RIGHT.
>> PLEASE TELL EVERYBODY.

>> Seth: HERE'S MY CONVERSATION
WITH CHRIS EVANS.

HEY, CHRIS.
HOW ARE YOU DOING, BUDDY?

>> HEY, MAN.
HOW ARE YOU DOING, PAL?

>> Seth: I'M DOING VERY WELL.
I THINK THESE ARE TIMES THAT

WE'RE LIVING THROUGH RIGHT NOW
WHERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO

HAVE COMPANIONSHIP.
I THINK SOME OF THE MOST

UNCOMPLICATED COMPANIONSHIP IS
CANINE COMPANIONSHIP.

HOW'S YOUR DOG DOING?
>> OH, HE'S GREAT.

HE'S GREAT.
HE'S GETTING THOROUGHLY

SMOTHERED IN THIS TIME OF
LOCKDOWN.

>> Seth: SO, THIS IS A
FASCINATING NEW WEBSITE YOU

STARTED CALLED
STARTINGPOINT.COM.

AND MAYBE IT'S EASIEST JUST TO
START WITH WHERE YOU CAME UP

WITH THE IDEA.
>> SURE.

WELL, IT BEGAN IN 2017.
AND I WAS WATCHING THE NEWS, AND

I'M A LITTLE BIT OF A NEWS
JUNKIE.

AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
SOMETHING.

I WENT TO GOOGLE IT AND IT WAS
JUST UNBELIEVABLE HOW MESSY IT

WAS TRYING TO JUST SIFT THROUGH
THE INFORMATION TO JUST GET A

CONCISE UNDERSTANDING OF SOME
SORT OF A POLICY OR A BILL.

I ‐‐ TO BE HONEST, I DON'T
REMEMBER WHAT THE ACTUAL THING

THAT I WAS GOOGLING WAS.
BUT I JUST RECOGNIZED RIGHT AWAY

IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS A HOLE
THERE, THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING

MISSING.
THAT I'M SURE THERE ARE PLENTY

OF PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN
POLITICS AND JUST ‐‐ IT'S

DAUNTING, YOU KNOW?
IT'S AN INTIMIDATING LANDSCAPE.

AND TO FIND THAT KIND OF ENTRY
POINT WHERE YOU CAN JUST GET

BASIC INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND
YOUR INTERPRETATION OF A

POLITICAL LANDSCAPE FELT LIKE IT
WAS MISSING.

>> Seth: SO WHAT'S REALLY UNIQUE
ABOUT THIS ‐‐ YOU KNOW, BECAUSE

THESE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE,
POLITICIANS, THAT WE WILL SEE ON

CABLE NEWS.
>> MM‐HMM.

>> Seth: BUT THIS IS THEM FOR A
MINUTE ON WHATEVER TOPIC THEY

CHOOSE.
YOU PROVIDE THEM WITH A LIST.

AND THEY SORT OF JUST TALK
UNINTERRUPTED FOR A MINUTE.

THERE IS NOTHING ‐‐ NO EDITORIAL
ELEMENT IS LAID OVER IT.

YOU LET THEM SPEAK IN THEIR OWN
WORDS.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO LET
POLITICIANS SPEAK INSTEAD OF

TALKING TO EXPERTS?
>> WELL ‐‐ WELL, THERE'S A

COUPLE REASONS.
FIRST, I THINK WE ARE IN AN AGE

WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN CHICKEN
OR THE EGG THIS ALL DAY, BUT I

DO THINK ‐‐ I'M PART OF IT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I READ SOMETHING

ONLINE, YOU START QUESTIONING,
"WELL, WHO WROTE THIS, WHAT'S

THE AGENDA, WHAT'S THE BIAS,
WHERE'S THE MONEY?"

SO, THE FIRST THING I WANTED TO
DO WAS REMOVE THAT FILTER

FACTOR.
I WANT TO REMOVE AS MUCH

SUBJECTIVITY AS POSSIBLE AND
ALLOW THE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN

ELECTED OFFICIAL AND THE
ELECTORATE TO EXIST MORE

CLEARLY.
SECOND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, ONE OF

THE MAIN TENETS OF THE SITE WAS
BEING OBJECTIVE.

YOU KNOW, I OBVIOUSLY HAVE MY
OWN POLITICAL BELIEFS, AND WE

TRY TO REMOVE THAT AS THOROUGHLY
AS POSSIBLE.

AND IF YOU ‐‐ WHEN WE DREW THE
LINE AS TO WHO WE INTERVIEWED ‐‐

YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION
ABOUT THE ECONOMY, MAYBE YOU

SHOULD TALK TO AN ECONOMIST.
THE PROBLEM IS WE THEN BECOME

THE ARBITERS OF TRUTH.
WE THEN DECIDE ‐‐ WHO DEEMS WHO

AN EXPERT, YOU KNOW?
AND I THINK THEN YOU GET INTO

THE WEEDS.
SO, EVEN THOUGH POLITICIANS MAY

NOT BE AN EXPERT IN EVERY SINGLE
FIELD, THEY'RE STILL THE ONES

VOTING ON POLICY.
THEY ARE THE ONES AFFECTING YOUR

LIFE.
AND I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

SHOULD KNOW WHO THOSE PLAYERS
ARE.

SO, THAT'S OUR STARTING POINT.
LOOK AT THE PUN.

THAT'S OUR STARTING POINT.
[ LAUGHTER ]

BUT, YEAH, LOOK, I MEAN, THIS
BUT, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR

ELECTED OFFICIALS TO BE ABLE TO
EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS, THEIR

THOUGHTS AROUND ISSUES CLEARLY.
AND I THINK THE AMERICAN PUBLIC

NEEDS TO KNOW THOSE ‐‐ THOSE
PEOPLE.

>> Seth: SO, A WEBSITE LIKE THIS
BASED ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOUR

GOAL WAS WHEN YOU STARTED IT
REQUIRED OBVIOUSLY BOTH

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS TO
PARTICIPATE.

AND I IMAGINE ONE OF THE
TRICKIEST PARTS WHEN THIS FIRST

STARTED, AND IT'S EVEN SORT OF
LAID OUT IN A VIDEO ON YOUR SITE

AS FAR AS WHAT YOU STARTED ‐‐
LIKE, WHEN YOU HAD TO CONVINCE

PEOPLE TO PLAY BALL.
WAS THAT HARD TRYING TO GET

EVERYBODY TO GET ON BOARD?
>> YES, YES.

PARTICIPATION WAS THE UPHILL
BATTLE FOR SURE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK NAIVELY I
THOUGHT, "WELL, I'LL JUST WRITE

A LETTER.
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE A

PART ‐‐"
YOU KNOW, I SAW THIS AS A VERY

SYMBIOTIC MECHANISM.
EVERYBODY WINS HERE.

YOU GET TO CONNECT TO THE
VOTERS, VOTERS LEARN FROM THE

ELECTED OFFICIALS.
BUT, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE TRYING TO

CULTIVATE A NEW RELATIONSHIP.
WE HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW.

WE JUST HAVE OUR WORDS.
SO, THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY

APPREHENSION.
YOU KNOW, I WAS SURPRISED.

I THOUGHT THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE
THAT I THOUGHT WOULD ABSOLUTELY

PARTICIPATE WHO WANTED NOTHING
TO DO WITH US.

AND THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE THAT
I THOUGHT NEVER IN A MILLION

YEARS WOULD SIT DOWN WITH US,
AND THEY SHOWED UP AND THEY

ANSWERED EVERYTHING.
AND SO IT'S ‐‐ I WAS ‐‐ IT WAS A

LANDSCAPE OF SURPRISE.
>> Seth: WHO WERE SOME OF THE

PEOPLE THAT YOU MOST WANTED THAT
YOU EITHER GOT AND WERE THRILLED

OR DIDN'T GET AND WERE
DISAPPOINTED?

>> SEE, SO YOU REMEMBER HOW I
SAID I WAS TRYING TO CULTIVATE

THIS RELATIONSHIP?
[ LAUGHTER ]

>> Seth: OH, RIGHT.
>> THIS IS THE TRICKY THING,

WE'RE STILL TRYING TO KIND OF
CULTIVATE THIS TRUST.

AND IF I START BLOWING PEOPLE UP
RIGHT NOW, THAT MIGHT HURT THAT.

>> Seth: WELL, IT'S INTERESTING
YOU TALK ABOUT THE TRUST,

BECAUSE YOU HEAR A VOICE ON THE
PHONE TALKING TO YOU AT ONE

POINT IN THE VIDEO SAYING THAT
THEY DON'T NECESSARILY TRUST,

UM, "HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE" I BELIEVE
IS THEIR TERM.

>> YEAH.
>> Seth: AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN

BURNED IN THE PAST.
>> MM‐HMM.

>> Seth: AND I WILL SAY, HAVING
LOOKED AT THE SITE, IT IS WHAT

IT PROMISES.
YOU DO LET PEOPLE SPEAK

UNINTERRUPTED.
IT IS LAID OUT ONLY TO SAY THIS

IS WHAT A DEMOCRAT SAYS ABOUT
DEREGULATION, THIS IS WHAT A

REPUBLICAN SAYS ABOUT
DEREGULATION.

HAVE YOU FOUND THAT THOSE WHO
HAVE PARTICIPATED, DO YOU FEEL

AS THOUGH THEY'RE PASSING ON
THEIR COLLEAGUES, "HEY, THIS IS

A SAFE PLACE IF YOU WANT TO JUST
TALK ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS."

>> WITHOUT THAT MECHANISM, WE
WOULDN'T HAVE WORKED.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD A VERY

TENTATIVE NIBBLE AT FIRST FROM
REPUBLICANS.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME
THEY'D LEAVE, THEY'D SAY, "HEY,

THAT WAS OKAY."
AND WE'D SAY "PLEASE, PLEASE

TELL EVERYBODY."
AND SLOWLY BUT SURELY EVERY TIME

WE WENT BACK, WE HAD MORE AND
MORE NAMES.

AND PART OF IT WAS TRYING TO
CONVEY TO THEM, LISTEN, WE'RE

NOT TRYING TO BE ONE AND DONE.
WE'RE TRYING TO DO THIS EVERY

YEAR.
SO IF WE'RE DUPLICITOUS, IF WE

GET YOU TO ANSWER A QUESTION AND
WE EVISCERATE YOU, YOU'RE NOT

COMING BACK.
YOU KNOW, THE NATURE OF THIS IS

TO TRY AND PROVIDE SOMETHING FOR
EVERYBODY.

WHAT'S THAT SAYING ‐‐ A GOOD
IDEA IS WHEN EVERYBODY WINS?

[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
EVERYBODY CAN WIN HERE, BUT IT

WOULDN'T HAPPEN IF WE'RE TRYING
TO, YOU KNOW, SLAM PEOPLE.

>> Seth: YOU DID REALIZE
ULTIMATELY THAT YOU NEEDED MORE

LEVELS THAN JUST YOUR INITIAL
IDEA OF A POLITICIAN TALKING FOR

A MINUTE ABOUT, SAY, HEALTH OR
EDUCATION OR IMMIGRATION.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO WHAT YOU
REALIZE WAS MISSING AND WHY YOU

ADDED THOSE ADDITIONAL TIERS TO
IT?

>> SURE.
SO INITIALLY THE ONLY IDEA

WAS ‐‐ THERE ARE THREE SECTIONS
TO THE SITE.

IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE YOU CAN
WATCH A LITTLE VIDEO THAT WALKS

YOU THROUGH ALL THREE OF THEM.
BUT THERE ARE THREE SECTIONS.

THE FIRST SECTION IS CALLED
"STARTING POINTS."

AND IT'S ONE‐MINUTE ANSWERS TO
COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY AT

LEAST THREE DEMS, THREE
REPUBLICANS.

AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF THE ONLY
GOAL FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF THE

PROJECT OR SO.
AND THEN SLOWLY BUT SURELY WE

KIND OF REALIZED A LOT OF THESE
ELECTED OFFICIALS HAD THINGS

THEY WANTED TO SAY THAT DIDN'T
FIT IN THE MECHANISM.

WE SOMETIMES WOULD LISTEN TO TWO
PEOPLE DEBATE BACK AND FORTH

WITHOUT THE KIND OF TELEVISION
FIGHT PROMOTER QUALITY AND YOU

ACTUALLY GOT REALLY GOOD
INFORMATION.

AND YOU JUST KIND OF THOUGHT,
MAN, IF WE'RE HERE, IF WE'RE

DOING THIS, I WONDER IF THERE
ARE A COUPLE OTHER WAYS WE MIGHT

BE ABLE TO ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT
AND CONNECTIVITY.

SO, SECTIONS TWO AND THREE WERE
BORN.

SECTION TWO IS "DAILY POINTS,"
WHERE IT REALLY IS JUST, YOU

KNOW, ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO
PARTICIPATES IN SECTION ONE CAN

PONTIFICATE ON ANYTHING THEY
WANT TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW,

FOR A MINUTE.
AND THEN "COUNTERPOINTS" IS WHEN

YOU HAVE TWO ELECTED OFFICIALS.
THEY PICK AN ISSUE TO EXPLORE,

TO DEBATE, AND IT'S THIS VERY
KIND OF STRUCTURED BACK AND

FORTH DISCUSSION.
YOU KNOW, I LOVE DEBATES.

I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE BEST
WAYS TO EXAMINE SOMETHING.

BUT, YEAH, AGAIN, AS I SAY IN
THAT GREAT VIDEO, IF YOU GO TO

THE SITE, SOMETIMES TELEVISED
DEBATES, THEY DEVELOP THIS

INERTIA.
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, IT MOVES

OFF TOPIC.
SOMEONE HITS A BUZZWORD.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE
CONVERSATION PIVOTS.

AND THAT'S A SHAME.
AND I DO THINK ELECTED OFFICIALS

SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND BY WHAT
THEY SAY, SPEAK COHERENTLY AND

CONCISELY, AND ALSO LISTEN.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ‐‐ IN SECTION

THREE, IN "COUNTERPOINTS,"
BETWEEN DUSTY JOHNSON AND

ERIC SWALWELL THAT I CONSIDER
THE GOLD STANDARD.

THEY COMPLETELY DISAGREE.
IT'S ABOUT MAIL‐IN VOTING.

THEY DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE, BUT
AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY

STATEMENT, THEY START WITH,
"OKAY, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE

SAYING.
HERE'S WHERE I DISAGREE."

AND JUST THAT SENTENCE, THAT'S
LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

AND SOMEHOW I THINK LISTENING
HAS BECOME CONFLATED WITH, I

DON'T KNOW, WEAKNESS OR
CAPITULATION OR SOMETHING.

THAT JUST SHOWS YOU'RE A
THOROUGH THINKER.

SO, ANYWAY, SECTION THREE JUST
FELT LIKE IT WAS ALSO SOMETHING

THAT IS MISSING ONLINE THAT I
THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE REALLY

THIRSTY FOR.
JUST TO SEE CIVIL DISCOURSE THAT

DOESN'T HAVE TO REDUCE TO, YOU
KNOW, AD HOMINEM ATTACKS OR

SOMETHING.
>> Seth: NOW, I IMAGINE IT DID

HELP SLIGHTLY THAT YOU WERE A
CELEBRITY, PARTICULARLY ONE THAT

HAS BEEN IN A FRANCHISE THAT I
WOULD SAY HAS A NONPARTISAN

APPEAL.
>> RIGHT.

>> Seth: AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT
FAMILY MEMBERS OF REPUBLICANS OR

MAYBE ARE AS EXACTLY AS EXCITED
AS FAMILIES OF DEMOCRATS THAT

THEY GOT TO HANG OUT WITH
CHRIS EVANS.

DID YOU FEEL LIKE THAT PULL WAS
OF USE TO YOU?

>> IT DIDN'T HURT.
[ LAUGHTER ]

THAT WAS THE STRING WE WERE
PLAYING ON THE WHOLE TIME.

[ LAUGHTER ]
YEAH, I MEAN, BUT IT WAS ‐‐ IT

WAS, YOU KNOW ‐‐
YEAH, IT WAS NICE.

IT WAS NICE TO USE THAT IN A WAY
THAT ALSO GOT US IN THE DOOR,

BUT DIDN'T ADD ANY PRESSURE.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, IN THE FILM

WORLD WHEN YOU SHOW UP, IF
YOU'RE MAKING A MOVIE OR IN A

REHEARSAL, THE FIRST DAY OF
FILMING, THERE'S AN EXPECTATION.

I DON'T THINK ANYONE EXPECTED
MUCH OUT OF ME IN D. C.

SO, WHEN THE EXPECTATIONS ARE
LOW, THAT'S WHERE I THRIVE,

SETH.
[ LAUGHTER ]

>> Seth: YEAH.
EVERYBODY SAYS THAT ABOUT YOU.

[ LAUGHTER ]
ARE YOU LESS ‐‐ YOU'VE MADE A

FEW TRIPS NOW.
ARE YOU LESS INTIMIDATED BY

BEING IN THE HALLS OF POWER WHEN
YOU GO TO D. C. NOW?

>> OH, YEAH.
YEAH, I MEAN, NOW I FEEL VERY

COMFORTABLE.
I MEAN, WE'VE DONE MAYBE OVER

TEN TRIPS OVER THE PAST COUPLE
YEARS.

AND EACH TIME GOT EASIER AND
EASIER.

AND EVERYONE WAS SO SWEET AND SO
LOVELY.

AND, HONESTLY, IF YOU GIVE THEM
THE PLATFORM AND YOU ENSURE THE

MECHANISM THAT WILL ‐‐ THAT'S
NOT DESIGNED TO BE DUPLICITOUS,

THEY RESPOND TO IT, YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN?

I THINK THERE IS ‐‐ I THINK
THERE IS A THIRST FOR

PARTICIPATION FROM BOTH ENDS OF
THIS, YOU KNOW, FROM THE ELECTED

OFFICIALS AND FROM THE ELECTED.
>> Seth: YOU KNOW, IT'S

INTERESTING TO ME BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, I FOLLOW YOU ON SOCIAL

MEDIA.
YOU ARE SUBJECTIVE ABOUT YOUR

POLITICS.
YOU FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THE

CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.
>> YEAH.

>> Seth: HAS IT BEEN HARD TO
REMOVE YOUR SUBJECTIVITY FROM

THIS?
OR BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A PURITY OF

FOCUS TO THE IDEA, HAS IT
BASICALLY BEEN SIMPLE?

>> NOT SIMPLE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
YOU ALWAYS WRESTLE WITH WHAT YOU

SHOULD DO.
AND, I MEAN, LOOK, THE REASON

I'M SO VOCAL ON TWITTER IS
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO

HELP.
I WANT TO HELP.

YOU WANT TO DO GOOD, SO YOU PLAY
ON THAT ONE STRING.

SO WHEN YOU STEP BACK, IT REALLY
BECOMES A MATTER OF EFFICACY.

HOW CAN I HELP THE MOST?
AND TRYING TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM

FOR INFORMATION, TRYING TO STAY
AS OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE AND

ALMOST PUT YOUR TRUST IN PEOPLE.
AND JUST SAY, LISTEN, I THINK

THERE IS GOOD OUT THERE, BUT THE
PROBLEM IS RIGHT NOW WE'RE ALL

COMING TO THE TABLE WITH
CONJECTURE AND INFORMATION

STARTING FROM ARBITRARY PLACES.
SO IF WE CAN AT LEAST CLEAN THE

LANDSCAPE UP A LITTLE BIT AND
TRUST THAT THE GOODNESS IS IN

THERE, YOU KNOW.
AND I DO BELIEVE THAT.

I MEAN, WITH EVERY GENERATION,
YOU KNOW, THE ‐‐ THE YOUTH HELPS

US SHED OUR SKIN AND KIND OF
MARCH TOWARDS WHAT'S RIGHT.

SO, IN A WAY, SOME PEOPLE ARE
JUST SO, YOU KNOW, DIVIDED AND

POLARIZED RIGHT NOW.
I THOUGHT MAYBE LEANING ON

INFORMATION AND LEANING ON JUST
THE NORTH STAR OF TRUTH MIGHT BE

A MORE EFFECTIVE STARTING POINT.
STARTING POINT.

[ LAUGHTER ]
OF TRYING TO ‐‐ JESUS.

JESUS!
OF TRYING TO MOVE THE BALL DOWN

THE FIELD AND JUST PLAYING ON
THE ONE STRING THAT I HAD BEEN

PLAYING ON, ON TWITTER.
>> Seth: WELL, CONGRATULATIONS

ON THE SITE.
IT IS REALLY A SUPER UNIQUE

RESOURCE IN THESE TIMES WE'RE
LIVING IN.

AND IT'S ALWAYS SUCH A DELIGHT
TO SEE YOU, BUDDY.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
>> LIKEWISE, MY FRIEND.

♪ WEAR A MASK ♪
THAT'S THE DEAL, EVERYBODY.

YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK.
GOOD AFTERNOON.

I KNOW THIS ISN'T FUN.
I KNOW IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANTED

TO BE DOING IN YOUR SUMMER.
AND IT'S EXTRA HARD IN MY HOME

STATE OF CALIFORNIA BECAUSE OUR
SUMMERS ARE ENDLESS.

OUT HERE WE ROS ALL DAY, ALL
YEAR LONG.

OUR STATE BIRD IS A QUAIL WHO
HAD TWO GLASSES OF ROS AT

BRUNCH.
YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL WHICH QUAILS

HAVE BEEN OVERSERVED BECAUSE
THEIR PLUMES FLOP AROUND LIKE

THIS.
I IMPLORE YOU TO BE EXTRA

VIGILANT THESE DAYS, BECAUSE
WE'RE NOW DEALING WITH A SURGE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT
TALKING ABOUT SURGE THE SODA

THAT BRIEFLY COMPETED WITH
MOUNTAIN DEW IN THE LATE '90s

AND EARLY 2000s.
A DRINK THAT WAS AS DELICIOUS AS

IT WAS BODACIOUS.
TWICE AS NICE SERVED OVER ICE

AND IF YOU HAD IT, A LEMON
SLICE.

I WENT TO A Y2K SURGE PARTY ON
NEW YEAR'S EVE.

WE PARTIED LIKE IT WAS 1999.
AND THEN I DIDN'T SLEEP FOR THE

ENTIRETY OF THE YEAR 2000.
IT WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME.

TODAY'S SURGE ISN'T NEARLY AS
AWESOME.

IN FACT, IT BITES THE BIG ONE.
WE'VE SEEN A RAPID INCREASE IN

CORONAVIRUS CASES ACROSS MUCH OF
THE COUNTRY AND EVEN HERE IN

CALIFORNIA.
BECAUSE OF THAT, I'VE

REINSTITUTED A STATEWIDE
SHUTDOWN FOR MOST INDOOR

OPERATIONS.
AND I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH THAT

THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE.
I'M DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR THE

HEALTH AND WELFARE OF MY
CONSTITUENTS BASED ON SCIENCE

AND THE ADVICE OF THE MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS.

RECENTLY, THE ORANGE COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION VOTED TO

REOPEN SCHOOLS WITH NO MASKS AND
NO SOCIAL DISTANCING WHATSOEVER.

AND I'M SORRY, BUT THAT'S JUST
SPICOLI LEVEL STUPID.

IT'S GOING TO GET PEOPLE SICK OR
WORSE.

AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE, NO
MATTER WHO YOU ARE, TO FALL

VICTIM TO THIS VIRUS.
MY EX‐WIFE KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE,

WHO JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE
DONALD TRUMP JR.'S CURRENT

GIRLFRIEND, RECENTLY TESTED
POSITIVE.

SHE SAID SHE'S DOING WELL, AND
I'M GLAD.

AND IF SOMEONE THAT CLOSE TO THE
PRESIDENT CAN GET THIS VIRUS,

THEN SO CAN YOU.
AS FOR MY EX‐WIFE BEING

DON JR.'S CURRENT GIRLFRIEND,
IT'S NUTS.

ALTHOUGH I SUPPOSE, IN A WAY,
DON JR. AND I HAVE OUR

SIMILARITIES.
WE BOTH SLICK BACK OUR HAIR.

I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO SHOOT HOOPS
WHILE HE'S BEEN KNOWN TO SHOOT

ENDANGERED ANIMALS.
AND I'M AN ELECTED OFFICIAL,

WHILE HIS DADDY IS AN ELECTED
OFFICIAL.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE
THE 1996 SCI‐FI COMEDY

"MULTIPLICITY," WHERE I'M THE
ORIGINAL MICHAEL KEATON, AND

DON JR. IS THE LAST OF FOUR
CLONES.

IN FACT, A CLONE OF A CLONE,
GIVING HIM A CONSIDERABLY LOWER

INTELLIGENCE.
IT'S A GREAT FILM, BUT I

DIGRESS.
I WISH KIMBERLY A SPEEDY

RECOVERY.
AND I WISH FOR MY STATE AND THE

COUNTRY AT LARGE TO BE ABLE TO
BRING THIS VIRUS UNDER CONTROL.

BUT WE CAN ONLY DO THAT IF WE
ALL WORK TOGETHER.

SO PLEASE, LISTEN TO THE
DOCTORS.

THINK ABOUT PEOPLE IN YOUR
FAMILY WHO ARE HIGH‐RISK, AND

TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.
ALL RIGHT, WEST COASTERS WITH

THE MOST‐ERS, STAY HOME.
STAY SAFE.

WEAR A MASK.
SMELL YA LATER.

MAHNA, MAHNA.
>> Seth: JOSH MEYERS, EVERYBODY.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
ACTION BRONSON.

CHEF, MUSICIAN, AND ACTOR.

ACTION BRONSON.
>> Seth: ACTION, HOW ARE YOU, MY

FRIEND?
>> I'M AMAZING.

COULDN'T FEEL BETTER.
I COULD, BUT LET ME NOT

COMPLAIN.
>> Seth: YOU ARE COMING TO US

LIVE FROM A GYM.
YOU'VE DROPPED SOME WEIGHT.

YOU'VE SHAVED YOUR HEAD.
YOU FEELING GOOD?

>> YEAH.
WELL, LET ME EXCUSE YOU A

SECOND.
THIS IS A FITNESS INSTITUTE.

[ LAUGHTER ]
AND, YEAH, I DROPPED A LITTLE

BIT OF WEIGHT.
MAN, I WAS A DISGUSTING,

DESPICABLE ANIMAL.
AND NOW I'M FEELING A LOT BETTER

ABOUT MYSELF.
>> EXCUSE ME, CAN I GET A

PICTURE FOR MY KID?
>> YEAH, OF COURSE, HOLD THAT.

LET'S TAKE A PICTURE.
PARDON ME, HOLD ON.

>> I'M GOING TO.
GO AHEAD.

>> Seth: ALL RIGHT.

ACTION, YOU CANNOT BE SAFE WHEN

YOU'RE IN A GYMNASIUM OR A
FITNESS INSTITUTION.

>> WE'VE ALL BEEN TESTED.
>> Seth: ALL RIGHT, GOOD.

>> EVERYTHING IS ALL GOOD.
TRUST ME.

THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'VE
ACTUALLY TALKED TO ANYBODY IN

SIX MONTHS.
>> Seth: AND THAT GUY DID NOT ‐‐

IS THAT THE NORMAL DEMOGRAPHIC
OF YOUR STEALTHY FAN BASE?

HE LOOKED A LITTLE BIT OLDER.
>> LISTEN, I TOUCH MANY HEARTS.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: YOU KNOW, USUALLY WHEN

YOU COME ON THE SHOW, WE EAT
SOME FOOD TOGETHER.

WE'VE HAD OCTOPUS AND BAKED
ZITI.

YOU WERE KIND ENOUGH TO SEND ME
SOME OF YOUR NEW ICE CREAM.

>> OH, YEAH.
>> Seth: THIS IS ICE CREAM YOU

MADE WITH THE GOOD PEOPLE AT
MORGENSTERN'S.

YEAH?
>> THAT'S RIGHT.

MY GUY NICK MORGENSTERN.
THAT RIGHT THERE IS A ‐‐ WELL,

I'M PUTTING OUT A NEW ALBUM
CALLED "ONLY FOR DOLPHINS."

AND I'M SURE TRYING TO HIT EVERY
SINGLE SENSE OF THE HUMAN

ACCESSIBILITY.
FLAVOR, SIGHT.

HEAR, TOUCH, HUMANITY.
[ LAUGHTER ]

>> Seth: WAS THE THIRD ONE,
HEAR?

>> YEAH, HEAR.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

SO I'M JUST TRYING TO TOUCH
EVERYBODY'S HEART WITH DIFFERENT

ASPECTS.
AND THAT RIGHT THERE IS A

CHARRED GUAVA MARSHMALLOW TRES
LECHES.

WHICH IS INSPIRED BY MY
INDIGENOUS COLOMBIAN QUEEN WHOM

I'M IN LOVE WITH VERY MUCH, WHO
WE BROUGHT A BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY

INTO THIS WORLD WITH.
>> Seth: THAT'S FANTASTIC.

HOW OLD IS YOUR BABY BOY?
>> HE JUST TURNED EIGHT MONTHS.

>> Seth: EIGHT MONTHS.
HOW'S HE DOING?

>> HE'S GREAT.
YOU KNOW, LAST MONTH IT WAS TOO

EARLY, BUT NOW I COULD LITERALLY
PLAY HIM TURKISH PROG ROCK

BECAUSE HE COULD FULLY
UNDERSTAND THE PROGRESSIONS AT

THIS POINT IN THE JUNCTURE OF
LIFE.

LAST MONTH ‐‐ NO.
>> Seth: SEVEN MONTHS IS TOO

EARLY FOR TURKISH PROG ROCK.
>> WAY TOO EARLY.

>> Seth: BUT THEN EIGHT MONTHS,
FINE.

>> WELL, HE SHOWED ME SIGNS.
HE SHOWED ME SIGNS OF, YOU KNOW,

THAT HE WANTED ‐‐ HE NEEDED THIS
IN HIS LIFE.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT

"FOR DOLPHIN ONLY" IS ALSO GOING
TO BE THE NAME OF YOUR NEW

ALBUM, YEAH?
>> YEAH.

WELL, YOU CAN SAY IT "FOR
DOLPHIN ONLY," "ONLY FOR

DOLPHINS," "DOLPHINS ONLY FOR."
IT'S REALLY HOWEVER YOU FEEL.

>> Seth: THANK YOU.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE YOU'RE A

DOLPHIN AND I KNOW YOU
UNDERSTAND IT, AND THIS IS FOR

PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND IT AS WELL
AS AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES AND

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPECIES.
IT'S FOR ALL SPECIES REALLY.

>> Seth: WHEN IS YOUR ALBUM
GOING TO BE OUT?

>> I'M HOPING THE BEGINNING OF
SEPTEMBER.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN THAT IS
BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT

THE HELL TODAY IS.
IT'S BEEN A BLUR.

THIS HAS BEEN A MESS.
SO, I JUST KNOW IT'S A DAY.

>> Seth: HEY, THIS NEW SEASON OF
"[ BLEEP ] THAT'S DELICIOUS."

>> OH, YEAH.
>> Seth: ONE OF THE NICE THINGS

ABOUT WATCHING IT IS REMEMBERING
A TIME WHERE YOU COULD TRAVEL

AND EAT FOOD AND BE SOCIAL.
AND ONE OF THE PLACES THAT I

THINK MAYBE HAS A BAD REPUTATION
FOR FOOD THAT IS MAYBE NOT

DESERVED, ACCORDING TO YOU, IS
DUBLIN.

YOU HAD A GREAT TIME IN DUBLIN.
>> MAN, WHAT A HIDDEN GEM DUBLIN

IS.
THAT IS A PHENOMENAL PLACE.

AND VERY ECLECTIC, SURPRISINGLY.
WE FOUND THE BEST OF PROBABLY

EVERYTHING THAT THERE IS TO FIND
IN DUBLIN.

MAN, JAMAICAN, IRISH, SCOTTISH
MIXTURES.

CRAZY, JUST ‐‐ MEXICAN FOOD.
CLASSIC, YOU KNOW, IRISH CUISINE

AND JUST A MIXTURE OF EVERYTHING
IN ONE PLACE WITH SOME

PROGRESSIVE WINE BARS AND
TREMENDOUS GASTRONOMY SITUATIONS

IN THESE LITTLE OLD, LIKE,
HOLLOWED OUT TRAIN STATIONS.

IT'S JUST VERY COOL LOOKING.
ASK THEN RIGHT ACROSS THE WAY

YOU COULD GET THE BEST PINT IN
TOWN, HAVE A NICE CONVERSATION

WITH SOME OLDER MEN WHO USE
INSTAGRAM.

[ LAUGHTER ]
THAT REFUSE TO FOLLOW YOU.

I'D BE, "YO, COME ON, FOLLOW US.
MAN, WHY ARE YOU NOT FOLLOWING

US?"
"NO, I DON'T WANT TO."

>> Seth: LAST TIME YOU WERE ON
THE SHOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE

FACT THAT YOU HAD A VERY NICE
CAMEO IN "THE IRISHMAN."

>> OH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Seth: GOT TO DO SOME WORK

WITH DeNIRO.
>> YEAH.

A LITTLE BIT OF WALK AND TALK
WITH HIM.

>> Seth: YOU DID A REALLY NICE
JOB.

YOU WERE SELLING CASKETS.
>> YEAH.

YEAH, YOU KNOW, AS THEY SAY IN
THE BUSINESS, IT WAS A WALK AND

TALK.
SOLO.

ME, ONE ON ONE WITH BOBBY.
YOU KNOW, MARTY WAS OVER THERE

TALKING TO US, LETTING US KNOW,
JUST BE YOURSELF.

THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME.
>> Seth: ARE YOU DOING ‐‐ HEY,

ACTION, ARE YOU DOING CURLS WITH
YOUR PHONE RIGHT NOW?

BECAUSE IT'S JUST GOING UP AND
DOWN.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> IT'S GOING UP ‐‐ NAH, I'M

EXCITED.
AND THEN MY FINGERS, THEY JUST

DO WHAT THEY WANT.
I'M SORRY, I HAVE JAZZ HANDS.

PARDON ME.
>> Seth: YOU HAVE JAZZ HANDS

RIGHT NOW?
>> I DO.

[ LAUGHTER ]
I'M TRYING TO HOLD IT AS STEADY

AS POSSIBLE.
SO, YEAH.

I MEAN, TO BE HONEST, BEING ON A
MOVIE SET IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE,

ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE TYPES OF
LEGENDS.

I JUST ‐‐ I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE
THAT IT HAPPENED.

>> Seth: IT WAS AMAZING.
AND I THINK YOU MUST'VE PICKED

UP SOME STUFF FROM THOSE GUYS,
MUST'VE REFINED YOUR CHOPS.

BECAUSE THE NEXT TIME I SAW YOU
IN A MOVIE, "KING OF STATEN

ISLAND."
>> OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

>> Seth: SCENE STEALER.
A SCENE STEALING PERFORMANCE.

OH, THAT MAKES ME FEEL REALLY
GOOD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LISTEN, THEY

GAVE ME A BIG OPPORTUNITY, YOU
KNOW?

PETE, I WENT IN THERE WITH HIM
AND JUDD AND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE

AND WE KIND OF LIKE JUST WENT
BACK AND FORTH, JUST TALKING

[ BLEEP ].
AND THEY LOVED ME, AND THAT WAS

THAT.
I CAME IN THERE AND I KNEW

MARISA TOMEI WAS IN THE SCENE SO
I HAD TO STEP UP.

>> Seth: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
THAT'S A HIGH BAR.

MARISA TOMEI IS THE HIGH BAR.
>> WELL, JUST PUT IT THIS WAY.

I'VE BEEN IN A MOVIE NOW WITH
JOE PESCI AND MARISA TOMEI.

>> Seth: YOU'RE DOING ‐‐ YOU
ALMOST GOT THE FULL VINNY.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> "MY COUSIN VINNY."

NOW I NEED RALPH MACCHIO.
>> Seth: YOU GOT A MACCHIO AND

THEN IT'S THE FULL VINNY.
THAT'S EVERY ‐‐

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> OH, MAN.

I WAS LIKE, I WAS A FIREMAN.
BUT I WASN'T.

[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU KNOW?

I ALREADY GOT THROUGH THE
TRAINING.

>> Seth: YOU ARE GETTING IN
FIREMAN SHAPE.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW YOU FROM
AS SOMEONE WHO LIKES THE GOOD

LIFE, YOU LIKE TO INDULGE IN
GOOD FOODS AND MAYBE NOT OFTEN

THE HEALTHIEST FOODS.
BUT YOU ARE INDEED EATING

HEALTHIER.
YOU ARE IMBIBING OF THE GREEN

JUICE.
HOW HAS THE GREEN JUICE TREATED

YOU?
>> THE GREEN JUICE IS A

BEAUTIFUL THING.
>> Seth: IT IS.

>> KALE, CELERY, GREEN APPLE,
GINGER, A LITTLE LEMON.

IT'S LIKE ‐‐ IT'S ONE OF THE
GREATEST THINGS ON EARTH.

IT'S LOWERED MY CHOLESTEROL.
IT'S TAKEN AWAY ANY CHANCE OF

DIABETIC SITUATIONS.
I'VE LOST LIKE 80 [ BLEEP ]

POUNDS, MAN.
80 POUNDS IN LATTER WAY.

AND I'M STILL FAT.
SO, LIKE I SAID, IT SHOWS YOU

THAT I WAS A FAT ASS[ BLEEP ].
[ LAUGHTER ]

RIGHT NOW I'M JUST AN
ASS[ BLEEP ].

>> Seth: DID YOU TAKE TO GREEN
JUICE RIGHT AWAY OR DID YOU HAVE

TO DEVELOP A TASTE FOR IT?
>> NAH, I STILL DON'T LIKE IT.

I DON'T LIKE IT.
I JUST POUND IT.

I PUT AS MUCH AS I CAN INTO A
HUGE, LIKE, MILK JUG AND THEN

JUST DOWN IT WITH A METAL STRAW.
I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S JUST CERTAIN TECHNIQUES.
>> Seth: NOW, I HAVE TO ASK,

MAYBE YOU'LL BE OUT ON THE ROAD
SOON, HOPEFULLY TOURING.

MAYBE YOU'LL BE DOING ANOTHER
SEASON OF THE SHOW, GOD WILLING.

BUT IF ‐‐ WHEN THIS ENDS, WHEN
RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN AND

EVERYTHING IS ROBUST AGAIN,
WHERE IS THE FIRST PLACE THAT

ACTION BRONSON'S GOING TO GO?
>> OH, MY LORD.

IT'S SAD TO SAY, BUT WE'VE
LEARNED JUST ALL THESE PLACES,

YOU KNOW, LIKE, THIS IS ALL
PLEASURE.

THIS IS ALL PLEASURE.
WE COULD ALL GET BY WITHOUT THIS

STUFF, I'M SAD TO SAY.
BUT DON PEPE'S WOULD BE THE

FIRST PLACE I'M GOING, IN
QUEENS.

>> Seth: YEAH.
>> STUFFED PEPPERS, CHICKEN

PARM, LINGUINI CLAMS.
THAT'S WHEN I GET TO MY GOAL.

30 MORE POUNDS TO GO AND THEN
WE'RE GONNA ‐‐ THEN I'M GOING TO

HAVE ‐‐ I'M GOING TO ALLOW
MYSELF TO HAVE SOME FUN.

PEPE'S.
RALPH MACCHIO IS GOING TO BE

PLEASURE TO SEE YOU, BUDDY.
>> YOU TOO.

YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD.
