>> Announcer: TONIGHT, ON
"LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS ‐‐"

JEFF GOLDBLUM.
STAR OF "SCHITT'S CREEK,"

ACTRESS ANNIE MURPHY
WRITER AND COMEDIAN, SAM JAY

FEATURING THE 8G BAND WITH
FRED ARMISEN
AND NOW, SETH MEYERS

TONIGHT?
LAST NIGHT, MY MASK SHOOK ME

AWAKE AND ASKED, "ARE YOU EVER
GOING TO WASH ME?"

LET'S GET TO THE NEWS.
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY THAT SENATOR
KAMALA HARRIS WOULD BE HIS BEST

FRIEND
I MEAN, RUNNING MATE

SORRY, SORRY
I GET ATTACHED TOO QUICK

A FORCE OF HABIT
PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED TODAY

THAT FORMER VICE PRESIDENT
JOE BIDEN'S PICK OF CALIFORNIA

SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS AS HIS
RUNNING MATE IS, QUOTE, "THE

KIND OF OPPONENT THAT EVERYONE
DREAMS OF.

SAID, PENCE, "OH, I'M NOT
ALLOWED TO DREAM OF OTHER WOMEN.

I'M OFTEN ‐‐ I'M OFTEN VEXED."
PRESIDENT TRUMP ALSO TWEETED

TODAY, QUOTE, "THE SUBURBAN
HOUSEWIFE WILL BE VOTING FOR ME.

THEY WANT SAFETY AND THRILLED I
ENDED THE LONG RUNNING PROGRAM

WHERE LOW‐INCOME HOUSING WOULD
INVADE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

BIDEN WOULD REINSTALL IT IN A
BIGGER FORM WITH CORY BOOKER IN

CHARGE."
FIRST OF ALL, INCREDIBLY RACIST,

BUT MOSTLY, I LOVE HOW MUCH HE
SEEMS TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT OTHER

CANDIDATES WILL DO AND WHAT
THEIR PLANS ARE DOWN TO WHO WILL

BE PUT IN CHARGE
BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ASK
HIM ABOUT HIS OWN PLANS?

>> WE HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT, SO
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO IT.

>> Seth: COOL, AND BY THE WAY,
THE SUBURBAN HOUSEWIFE WILL BE

VOTING FOR YOU
THEN I GUESS YOU HAVE A GOOD

CHANCE OF DEFEATING
DWIGHT EISENHOWER.

PRESIDENT TRUMP YESTERDAY
CRITICIZED FORMER VICE PRESIDENT

JOE BIDEN FOR BEING WEAK ON
CHINA, AND WARNED THAT IF BIDEN

WINS, AMERICANS WILL HAVE TO
LEARN TO SPEAK CHINESE

WELL, THANKS TO YOUR HANDLING OF
CORONAVIRUS, WE HAVE THE TIME.

WE HAVE THE TIME TO LEARN OTHER
LANGUAGES.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID IN AN
INTERVIEW YESTERDAY THAT SOME

MEN MAY FEEL INSULTED BY
JOE BIDEN'S DECISION TO CHOOSE A

WOMAN AS HIS RUNNING MATE AND
ADDED THAT BIDEN HAD, QUOTE,

"ROPED HIMSELF INTO A CERTAIN
GROUP OF PEOPLE.

LUCKY FOR BIDEN, THAT GROUP OF
PEOPLE IS 51% OF THE POPULATION.

AFTER RUSSIA ANNOUNCED THAT IT
HAS PROVEN ITS VACCINE AGAINST

THE CORONAVIRUS TO BE SAFE AND
EFFECTIVE, INFECTIOUS DISEASE

EXPERT DR. ANTHONY FAUCI SAID
YESTERDAY, QUOTE, "I SERIOUSLY

DOUBT THEY'VE DONE THAT.
REPLIED DOCTORS IN RUSSIA ‐‐

NOTHING.
DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TODAY
PARTICIPATED IN A KIDS FIRST,

GETTING AMERICA'S CHILDREN
SAFELY BACK TO SCHOOL PANEL.

IT'S CALLED KIDS FIRST, BECAUSE
THAT'S WHO'S GOING TO GET THE

VIRUS, KIDS FIRST, AND THEN
TEACHERS, THEN THE LUNCH LADY,

BUS DRIVERS, CUSTODIAL STAFF,
GUIDANCE COUNSELORS, AND

FINALLY, VAPE STORE OWNERS
VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE

TRAVELED TO ARIZONA YESTERDAY TO
SPEAK TO A GROUP OF MORMON

VOTERS
SO FOR ONCE, IT WAS THE MORMONS

WHO HAD TO PRETEND THEY WEREN'T
HOME

"NO, HE'S ‐‐ NO, HE'S STILL OUT
THERE.

HE LOOKS VERY VEXED.
THE LAST REMAINING BLOCKBUSTER

VIDEO HAS RECENTLY STARTED
RENTING OUT ITS BEND, OREGON,

LOCATION ON AIRBNB FOR NOSTALGIC
MOVIE NIGHTS WHICH INCLUDES FREE

RUN TO THE STORE, UNLIMITED
SNACKS, AND AN OVERNIGHT STAY IN

A REPLICA '90s LIVING ROOM
WOW, IT'S GOT EVERYTHING YOU'D

EVER WANT, EXCEPT, WELL, YOU
KNOW, NETFLIX.

A STUNT DOUBLE IN ENGLAND
RECENTLY SET HIMSELF ON FIRE TO

PROPOSE TO HIS GIRLFRIEND.
SO HE'S EXTREMELY ROMANTIC AND

BONUS, HE ALREADY KNOWS HOW IT
FEELS TO BE MARRIED.

AND FINALLY, AUTHORITIES IN
ALASKA RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT

A BEAR BROKE INTO A PIZZA
DELIVERY MAN'S CAR WHILE HE WAS

ASLEEP IN HIS HOME
EVEN CRAZIER, THE BEAR FINISHED

HIS SHIFT.
THAT'S THE MONOLOGUE, EVERYBODY.

WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT.

THE ALWAYS FUNNY JEFF GOLDBLUM
WILL BE HERE TO TELL US ABOUT

HIS SHOW, "THE WORLD ACCORDING
TO JEFF," PLUS, FROM "SCHITT'S

CREEK," ANNIE MURPHY JOINS ME.
THAT SHOW GOT 15 EMMY

NOMINATIONS INCLUDING ONE FOR
ANNIE.

I'M SO EXCITED TO TALK TO HER
AND SAM JAY WILL BE HERE

SHE'S AN "SNL" WRITER WITH A
GREAT NEW NETFLIX SPECIAL OUT
NOW, BUT FIRST ‐

DOWN
FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH AXIOS

RECENTLY WHERE HE SAID MANY
RIDICULOUS THINGS.

PERHAPS THE MOST RIDICULOUS,

HOWEVER, WAS THIS COMMENT HE
MADE WHILE DISCUSSING THE LATE
CONGRESSMAN, JOHN LEWIS.

>> NOBODY HAS DONE MORE FOR ‐‐

HAVE

AMBER RUFFIN

THINK WHEN YOU HEARD

DONALD TRUMP SAY, "NO ONE'S DONE
MORE FOR BLACK AMERICANS THAN I

HAVE?"

THAT STATEMENT

THINGS FOR BLACK PEOPLE.
HE JUST SAID NO ONE HAS DONE

MORE, AND HE'S RIGHT
NO ONE HAS DONE MORE FOR BLACK

AMERICANS, TO MAKE OUR LIVES
WORSE.

WE'RE SO EXCITED THAT
FRED ARMISEN IS BACK ON DRUMS

THIS WEEK.
AND MARK YOUR CALENDAR, FOR

FRED'S NEW MOVIE "ALL TOGETHER

AUGUST 28th.
I MISS YOU, FRED

OUR FIRST GUEST TONIGHT IS AN
EMMY AND ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATED

ACTOR AND MUSICIAN
YOU KNOW FROM THE "JURASSIC

PARK" FRANCHISE AND "THOR:
RAGNAROK."

HE'S THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND
HOST OF THE DISNEY PLUS SHOW

"THE WORLD ACCORDING TO
JEFF GOLDBLUM," WHICH WAS

RECENTLY NOMINATED FOR AN EMMY
HERE'S MY CONVERSATION WITH

JEFF GOLDBLUM.
JEFF, WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU

HOW ARE YOU?
>> IT'S VERY WONDERFUL TO SEE

YOU, SETH.
I AM GOOD, EVERYTHING

CONSIDERED, YOU KNOW
MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THOSE

WHO ARE NOT SO FORTUNATE, OF
COURSE

>> Seth: BUT YOU ARE ‐
>> BUT NOW, WE'RE OKAY

I'M HERE WITH MY FAMILY IN
ENGLAND.

WE'RE SHOOTING THAT "JURASSIC
WORLD" MOVIE

AND THEY'VE PUT THEIR HEART AND
SOUL INTO THE PROTOCOLS, AND

WE'RE SAFE AND HAVING A CREATIVE
BLAST, YOU KNOW.

>> Seth: THAT'S REALLY NICE.
YOU WERE ONE OF THE FIRST

PRODUCTIONS TO GO BACK, THE NEW
JURASSIC PARK FILM

AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WAS NICE, WAS NOT JUST THE

SAFETY PROTOCOLS YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT, BUT THIS IS THE

FIRST TIME THAT YOU AND
SAM NEILL AND LAURA DERN HAVE

BEEN TOGETHER FOR 30 YEARS,
CORRECT?

>> YES, YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
OUR CHARACTERS, CERTAINLY.

OH, WE'VE BEEN IN TOUCH HERE AND
THERE.

>> Seth: YEAH.
>> BUT, THAT'S RIGHT

OUR CHARACTERS, SAM NEILL'S
CHARACTER AND LAURA DERN, WE'RE

BACK TOGETHER.
COLIN TREVORROW, GREAT

WRITER/DIRECTOR.
HE'S DIRECTING IT.

HE'S FANTASTIC, BUT OF COURSE,
CHRIS PRATT IS IN IT

BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD AND
MAMOUDOU ATHIE, DeWANDA WISE,

BD WONG, JUSTICE SMITH
IT'S A WHOLE COTERIE OF

LUMINARIES
[ LAUGHTER ]

>> Seth: HOW DO YOUR CHILDREN ‐‐
I KNOW WE HAVE KIDS THAT ARE

SIMILAR AGE.
ARE THEY ENJOYING ENGLAND SO

FAR?
>> WELL, THEY ARE.

THEY ARE
WE'RE JUST ‐‐ OF COURSE, WE HAVE

A VERY SPECIAL VIEW OF IT RIGHT
HERE, BUT THIS IS A GREAT PLACE.

THEY LOVE IT
I'M AROUND ALL THE TIME.

>> Seth: YEAH.
>> AND EMILY'S MOM IS HERE,

ACTUALLY
AND SO WE'VE GOT LOTS OF ‐‐ IT'S

VERY COZY, AND THEY'RE HAVING A
GOOD TIME.

THEY'RE DOING ALL KIND OF ‐‐
THEY'RE JUST ‐‐ THEY'RE LOVING

IT
THEY FEED THE DUCKS.

THEY TOUCH COWS.
THEY WERE KIND OF ‐‐

THEY FEED DONKEYS.
THEY'RE GOOD

>> Seth: WELL, THAT'S WONDERFUL
TO HEAR.

>> I HAVE A PIANO IN MY ROOM AND
CHARLIE IS TAKING PIANO LESSONS,

HAD BEEN, BUT I'M TAKING HIM
THROUGH ‐‐

NOT ONLY DO I DO MY PIANO
HOMEWORK, BUT TAKING HIM THROUGH

HIS SUZUKI LESSON EVERY DAY.
HE'S PROCEEDING TODAY.

>> Seth: AND NOW TELL ME, HOW
YOUNG WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED?

WHEN YOU GOT YOUR FIRST LESSON
>> I THINK AS I REMEMBERED,

TEN‐ISH OR NINE‐ISH, OR TEN‐ISH.
HE'S, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES, FIVE

HE'S WAY AHEAD OF ME, NOT TO
MENTION THE BICYCLE.

I THINK AROUND THE SAME TIME,
TEN.

I STARTED GET ON THE BIKE.
HE'S WHIZZING AROUND, YOU KNOW

>> Seth: AND IS HE TAKING THE
PIANO?

DO YOU FEEL LIKE HE HAS A
NATURAL SKILL FOR IT

>> WELL, WHO KNOWS
I DON'T THINK HE'S ANY MOZART,

BUT THERE'S NO INDICATION OF
THAT YET

BUT HE'S KIND OF LIKE ME,
DISCIPLINED.

I MIX AROUND ALL THE TIME AND HE
SEES ME PLAYING ALL THE TIME, SO

HE LIKES TO CHECK IN
WE GO THROUGH THE STUFF AND I'LL

BE DARNED IF HE ISN'T, YOU KNOW,
PLAYING A BUNCH OF STUFF

YOU KNOW, IT'S THRILLING FOR ME.
>> Seth: THAT'S AMAZING.

>> IT'S SOMETIMES MADDENING FOR
ME TOO

I'M VERY KIND OF, AROUND PIANO,
I GET KIND OF, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT

LIKE THE FATHER IN SHINE
I'M NOT, YOU KNOW, A MANIAC.

I'M NOT GOING TO ‐‐ BUT I'M, YOU
KNOW, FOCUSED NOW.

I WANT TO BE FOCUSED, A LITTLE
TOUGH, BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK

IT'S GOOD.
HE'S TAKING TO IT.

YEAH, HE'S DOING OKAY.
THE OTHER ONE ‐‐ THE OTHER ONE

IS TAKING A LITTLE LESSONS
RIVER IS TAKING LESSONS,

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE
HE COMES IN AND ALL I'M SUPPOSED

TO DO IS IF HE DOESN'T DO IT,
WHICH HE DOESN'T, IS TAKE HIS

FINGERS LIKE A PUPPET AND PUSH
THEM AGAINST THE THING

I PLAY "TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE
STAR" EVERY DAY WITH HIS RIGHT

HAND, HIS LEFT HAND, AS HE'S
MOANING AND STUFF, AND I JUST

KIND OF DO IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]

YOU HAVE TO SAY, "DO IT QUICK,
QUICK AS YOU CAN."

BECAUSE AFTERWARDS, WE GIVE HIM
GUMMY BEARS.

SO THAT'S A ‐‐
>> Seth: OH, WELL, THERE YOU GO.

YOU HAVE TO REWARD THEM SOMEHOW.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO SAY, YOU'VE

BEEN DOING THIS SHOW ‐
YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE MORE THAN A

THOUSAND OF THESE AND YOU'RE THE
FIRST PERSON TO REFERENCE THE

FATHER IN SHINE.
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE BECAUSE

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A CALL TO A
REFERENCE WE'VE LOST OVER THE

YEARS.
>> OH, YEAH.

NO, WE HAVE TO APPEAL TO THE
KIDS

THEY LOVE THAT SHINE STUFF
[ LAUGHTER ]

YEAH, CALL ME A PANDERER, BUT I
DON'T CARE

>> Seth: YEAH, YOU LIKE TO PLAY
TO YOUR TEEN BASE.

HEY, I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THIS.
I IMAGINE ONE OF THE THINGS,

AGAIN, IT WAS GROUND BREAKING
TECH IN THE FIRST "JURASSIC

PARK" FILM THAT NOW MUST SEEM
INCREDIBLY DATED, AND I THINK

YOU MUST LOOK BACK
THEY WERE ACTUALLY PRETTY

DANGEROUS, THE EARLY T‐REXES,
YES?

>> I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT.

WELL, NOT REALLY
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS

DINOSAURS.
[ LAUGHTER ]

BUT YES, IT WAS DANGEROUS BACK
THEN

THE ‐‐
[ LAUGHTER ]

I HATE TO BE THE ONE TO BREAK IT
TO YOU, YOU KNOW

>> Seth: NO, SOMEBODY HAD TO
>> YEAH, THERE'S NO EASTER BUNNY

EITHER
NO EASTER BUNNY.

>> Seth: AH, MAN
>> BUT YEAH, IN THE FIRST ONE,

STEVEN SPIELBERG, IF I CAN
INVOKE HIS NAME, WAS OFF THE

SCREEN GOING, "RAWRRR.
EVERYBODY LOOK AT THE TENNIS

BALL
RAWRRR."

IN THIS ONE, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE
SOUND EFFECTS, YOU HEAD

DINOSAURS.
AND THEY'VE GOT THE BIG

DINOSAURS AND IT'S GREAT, YOU
KNOW

BUT, STAN WINSTON HAD BACK THEN
WON THE OSCAR FOR THE ‐‐ WHAT HE

DID.
BUT THEY WERE NEW, THEY WERE

GROUND BREAKING AND ON AN
OCCASION, THERE WAS T‐REX THAT

WAS LIFE SIZE THAT WHEN YOU WENT
INTO THE SOUND STAGE THEY SAID,

AND "DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR IT
BECAUSE IT CAN GET KIND OF

MORBID AND WE'RE STILL TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO OPERATE IT."

SO IT CAN GO INTO UNEXPECTED
COMPULSIONS AND DROP ON YOU OR

ATTACK YOU, OR ‐
YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T WANT TO GET

KILLED BY THE FAKE T‐REX
SO, YOU KNOW

>> Seth: OH, YEAH.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ‐‐

CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE MADE THE
PRESS JUNKET A LOT HARDER IF ONE

OF YOU HAD DIED VIA THE
MECHANICAL T‐REX

>> IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ‐‐
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DARK DAYS

>> Seth: WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE
JEFF GOLDBLUM.

♪
>> Seth: HERE'S MORE OF MY
CONVERSATION WITH JEFF GOLDBLUM.

JEFF GOLDBLUM.
WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST TIME

HERE, THIS IS YOU EXPLORING
TOPICS THAT YOU WERE NOT AN

EXPERT IN BEFORE AN EPISODE
WOULD TAKE THEM INTO ACCOUNT

I KNOW YOU HAD TO CUT SHORT YOUR
SECOND SEASON, BUT ARE THERE

THINGS WHILE YOU'VE BEEN IN
QUARANTINE THAT YOU THOUGHT,

"OH, I'D REALLY LIKE TO ‐‐
MOVING ON, I'D LOVE TO EXPLORE

THIS?"
>> YES

WE'RE ALL TALKING.
WE WERE EXCITED ABOUT DOING IT

WE LOVE WHAT WE DID THE FIRST
TIME, AND SORT OF

COINCIDENTALLY, THE THEME
BECAME, THE FIRST SEASON,

OBJECTS THAT WE ALL LOVE AND
THAT BRING US TOGETHER AROUND

WHICH WE HAVE A CONNECTION
YOU KNOW, RVs AND, YOU KNOW,

BARBECUES AND DENIM AND JEWELRY
AND COSMETICS AND POOLS AND ALL

THAT
SO WE'RE SORT OF SET OFF IN AN

AREA THAT MIGHT ADAPT TO THE NEW
CHANGING AND CHANGED WORLD, BUT

WE'RE ALSO THINKING, FEVERISHLY,
ABOUT WHAT COULD EVEN MORE

RELEVANTLY, AND INTERESTINGLY BE
TALKED ABOUT THIS YEAR

WE HAD STARTED WITH FIREWORKS.
WHICH WAS ANOTHER THING THAT,

YOU KNOW, HAD A LONG HISTORY IN
SCIENCE AND FUTURE AND BRINGS

PEOPLE TOGETHER AND ALL THAT
>> Seth: SURE.

>> AND IT SORT OF SET US OFF
INTO LEFT FIELD AREAS LIKE

PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE DARKEST
PLACES, NEIGHBORHOODS IN AMERICA

SO THAT THEY CAN SEE AT NIGHT.
AND THEY ALL HAVE GREAT BIG

TELESCOPES IN THEIR BACKYARD AND
THEN WE TALKED TO AN ASTRONAUT

WHO'D BEEN UP THERE AND SEEN THE
PLANET FROM AFAR AND BEEN CLOSE

TO THE STARS
BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THAT

FIREWORKS WERE POSSIBLY
DEPICTIONS, ANOTHER SORT OF

ERSATZ WAY OF, YOU KNOW, FINDING
THE MYSTERY, MAJESTY AND POETRY

AND AWESOMENESS OF WHERE WE ARE
IN THE UNIVERSE.

ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, AND
WE'RE TRYING TO IN THE SECOND

SEASON IN THIS VEIN, KIND OF
EXPAND OUR INTELLECTUAL

SUBSTANCE AND ALL THAT
WE HAVE PEOPLE ON THE TEAM TO

HELP US DO THAT.
NOT ME, YOU KNOW, I'M AN EXPERT

IN NOTHING
BUT I'M AN EAGER LEARNER

>> Seth: YOU MENTIONED RVs
WHICH, YOU KNOW, RVs ARE HAVING

A REAL HOT MOMENT RIGHT NOW.
YOU WERE SORT OF AT THE

FOREFRONT OF THIS BECAUSE NOW
YOU COULDN'T GET AN RV IF YOU

TRIED BECAUSE THIS IS THE SAFEST
WAY, I GUESS, TO HAVE A VACATION

WITH YOUR FAMILY RIGHT NOW
>> I'M JUST LEARNING THAT, YES

WE WERE, YOU KNOW, WE WENT TO
JAYCO, THE PEOPLE ‐‐ THE AMISH

PEOPLE WHO PUT THEM ALL
TOGETHER, THESE STATE‐OF‐THE‐ART

THINGS, AND TALKED ABOUT THE
HISTORY OF IT.

BUT ‐‐ AND WENT TO THE FAMILY
WHO JUST ‐‐ THE DAD HAD TAKEN

OFF WORK AND THEY ALL WENT
ACROSS THE COUNTRY

YOU KNOW
AND WE'RE FINDING A BEAUTIFUL

TIME TOGETHER, BUT NOW THAT THIS
LAST PERIOD OF TIME, THIS LAST

UNFORTUNATE PERIOD OF TIME HAS
BEFALLEN US, YEAH.

I GUESS PEOPLE ‐‐ I HADN'T
THOUGHT OF IT THAT MUCH.

YEAH, THEY GET IT.
IT'S A WAY THAT YOU CAN, YOU

KNOW, CLEAN UP YOUR OWN AREA
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON OTHER

PEOPLE'S BATHROOMS AND STUFF,
SLEEP IN YOUR OWN BED BUT NOT BE

COOPED UP, GET THE FAMILY UNDER
CONTROL.

[ LAUGHTER ]
KEEP THEM ‐‐

>> Seth: HAVE YOU ‐‐
>> ‐‐ AND MOVE AROUND.

>> Seth: DID IT APPEAL TO YOU
WHEN YOU DID YOUR EPISODE ABOUT

IT
DID YOU THINK, "OH, THIS IS

SOMETHING THE GOLDBLUMS SHOULD
DO?"

>> WELL, I'M A KIND OF ‐‐ I'M
NOT A BIG CAMPER

AND IT FEELS A LITTLE ADJACENT
MENTALLY, CAMPING.

>> Seth: YEAH, I AGREE WITH
THAT, I AGREE WITH THAT.

>> YEAH, YEAH.
ALTHOUGH, THEY'RE VERY NICE.

WE MET NICE PEOPLE AND IT'S ‐‐
YOU KNOW, IF I COULD CLONE

MYSELF AND LIVE IN PARALLEL
UNIVERSES, YEAH, PART OF ME, I'D

LOVE TO DO WHAT ALBERT BROOKS
DOES IN "LOST IN AMERICA" AND

JUST GO ON THE ROAD AGAIN LIKE
THEY DO AND, YOU KNOW.

>> Seth: YEAH, THAT'S TRUE
ONCE AGAIN, A REFERENCE FOR THE

TEENS, ALBERT BROOKS' "LOST IN
AMERICA.

A MOVIE THAT DID NOT REALLY
SERVE AS GREAT ADVERTISEMENT

FOR ‐‐ AS CITY PEOPLE LIKE US
JOINING THE CAMPING LIFESTYLE.

>> NO, NO.
'CAUSE NOWADAYS ‐‐ NO, YOU AND I

ARE BOTH, YOU KNOW, URBANE
>> Seth: YES

>> AUTHENTIC AND CONNECTED TO
THE EARTH.

>> Seth: YES
I TRIED TO ‐‐ YEAH, I TRIED TO

HAVE ONE FOOT IN EACH.
YOU KNOW, EACH BUCKET, IF

POSSIBLE
>> AND YOU DO.

YOU STRIDE THE EARTH IN SEVEN
LEAGUE BOOTS LIKE A COLOSSUS

>> Seth: HEY, I WANT TO ASK
BEFORE WE GO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE

A VERY POLARIZING ADDITION TO
THE SHOW SINCE WE STARTED DOING

THEM IN THIS LOCATION, WHICH IS
THE SEA CAPTAIN.

ARE YOU PRO OR ANTI THE SEA
CAPTAIN?

>> HERE'S WHAT I THINK,
HONESTLY

I LOVE HIM
I LOVE HIM IN THE SET JUST

AESTHETICALLY.
I LIKE THAT PARTICULAR PICTURE

THAT OPERATION IS A LITTLE LIKE,
YOU KNOW, LIKE "CLUTCH CARGO."

>> Seth: YEAH.
>> YOU KNOW.

>> Seth: I THINK WOULD
DEFINITELY OWE A DEBT OF

GRATITUDE TO "CLUTCH CARGO."
YES.

>> I THINK THAT'S NICE
WHOEVER DOES THE VOICE IS VERY

GOOD
IT COULD BE KITSCH BUT THE WAY

YOU INCORPORATE IS, I THINK,
SOPHISTICATED AND ENTIRELY

DELIGHTFUL
[ LAUGHTER ]

SO IT GETS TEN GOLDBLUMS OUT OF
A POSSIBLE TEN GOLDBLUMS

>> Seth: TEN OUT OF TEN.
WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH JEFF

I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE HAPPY,
HEALTHY AND WORKING.

WE SHOULD ALL BE SO LUCKY.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE

COMING UP WITH OVER THERE.
>> YOU ARE SO SWEET.

THANK YOU.
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN THE

WORLD.
I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE AS

RADIANT AS EVER.
>> Seth: THANK YOU, JEFF

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
>> THANK YOU, SETH, THANK YOU.

>> Seth: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH ANNIE MURPHY FROM "SCHITT'S

CREEK.
♪

>> Seth: OUR NEXT GUEST RECEIVED
AN EMMY NOMINATION FOR HER

PORTRAYAL OF ALEXIS ROSE ON
POPTV'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED

SERIES "SCHITT'S CREEK."
HERE'S MY CONVERSATION WITH

ANNIE MURPHY
HI, ANNIE.

HOW ARE YOU?
>> HI, SETH.

I AM DOING JUST FINE
HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> Seth: I'M DOING WELL.
IT'S REALLY NICE TO MEET YOU

I WISH IT WAS IN PERSON.
BUT I WAS TALKING TO YOUR

CO‐STAR DAN LEVY AND HE WAS
SAYING THAT REALLY, IT'S THE

MOST FITTING OUTCOME THAT THE
YEAR "SCHITT'S CREEK" GETS

15 NOMINATIONS
IT WILL BE A VIRTUAL EMMYS

BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
PANDEMIC

>> PRECISELY
I COULDN'T AGREE WITH HIM MORE

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: IT MUST HAVE BEEN, YOU

KNOW, YOUR SHOW TOOK THIS, I
FEEL LIKE HAD THIS CRAZY ARC

ISN'T EVEN THE RIGHT WORD
BECAUSE IT KEPT GOING UP

WHICH IS, IT WAS A SHOW NOT A
LOT OF PEOPLE SAW AND THEN IT

WAS THIS BUILDING SORT OF CULT
FEELING ABOUT IT AND THEN ALL OF

A SUDDEN, IN ITS FINAL YEAR,
IT'S AN EMMY DARLING

WHAT A FUN RUN THAT MUST HAVE
BEEN FOR YOU

>> IT'S BEEN SO WILD BECAUSE
WHEN WE STARTED OUT, IT WAS

REALLY JUST THIS LITTLE SHOW ON
THE CBC IN CANADA AND WE SHOT,

YOU KNOW, IN TORONTO
AND THEN WE GO UP NORTH

45 MINUTES AND SHOOT IN THIS
LITTLE TOWN CALLED

GOODWOOD, ONTARIO.
[ LAUGHTER ]

>> Seth: THAT'S HILARIOUS.
>> HOLD ON TO THAT FOR A SECOND.

SO YEAH, IT FELT REALLY SMALL
AND INSULAR.

AND SO TO HAVE IT BE WHERE IT IS
NOW IS, IT'S PRETTY WONDERFUL.

>> Seth: IS IT TRUE THAT YOU
FELT NOSTALGIC AND MAKE A TRIP

BACK TO GOODWOOD RECENTLY?
>> YEP, YEP.

[ LAUGHTER ]
IT IS NOT MY FINEST MOMENT, I

WOULD SAY.
I WAS GETTING A LITTLE STIR

CRAZY AND NOSTALGIC, AND I WAS
LIKE, I WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE

DRIVE.
I'M GO TO GO TO GOODWOOD

AND THEY HAVE THESE, THERE'S A
BAKERY IN GOODWOOD CALLED

ANNINA'S, WHICH IS THE BEST
BAKERY AND THEY HAVE ‐‐ DO YOU

GUYS HAVE BUTTER TARTS IN
AMERICA?

>> Seth: NO, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF
A BUTTER TART.

>> OKAY, A BUTTER TART IS JUST
THAT, A BUTTER TART, BUT WITH

BROWN SUGAR.
AND ANYWAY, IT'S DELICIOUS

>> Seth: YEAH.
>> SO I WAS LIKE, I'M GOING TO

GO GET A BUTTER TART AND WALK
AROUND AND ‐

SO I DID THAT, AND I WAS
STROLLING AROUND THE STREETS OF

GOODWOOD, AND THIS CAR OF LADIES
PULLS UP TO ME AND THEY'RE LIKE,

"ALEXIS?
I WAS LIKE

[ LAUGHTER ]
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

LIKE THEY HAVE ‐‐ BECAUSE
GOODWOOD, I GUESS, HAS BECOME A

BIT OF A HOT SPOT FOR TOURISTS
NOW.

>> Seth: SURE.
>> BUT THEY HAD DRIVEN THREE

HOURS TO COME AND TAKE PICTURES
OF GOODWOOD AND THERE I WAS JUST

WANDERING THE STREETS LIKE A
MANIAC

AND THEN LITERALLY, THREE DAYS
LATER, THE SHOW "SCHITT'S CREEK"

POSTED ON SOCIALS.
"PLEASE, PEOPLE, STOP GOING TO

GOODWOOD
THERE IS A PANDEMIC.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALM."
AND I WAS LIKE

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: IT IS REALLY FUNNY

BECAUSE OF COURSE THE LAST ‐‐ I
MEAN, YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE,

LIKE, AN ANNIE LOOK‐ALIKE THAT
THE TOWN HIRED FOR THE PURPOSE

OF TOURISTS, BUT TO GET THE REAL
THING JUST WANDERING AROUND.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> NOW I THINK THAT THEY THINK

THAT I JUST GO THERE EVERY DAY
JUST TO WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO COME

AND TAKE MY PICTURE.
>> Seth: TO RECOGNIZE YOU, SURE.

THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S A
LITTLE BIT EMBARRASSING, BUT

AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING YOU
MADE THE MISTAKE OF SHARING WITH

THE WORLD, WHICH IS THAT WHEN
YOU FOUND OUT YOU WERE NOMINATED

FOR AN EMMY, THIS IS GOING
AROUND, YOU CHOKED ON BACON.

[ LAUGHTER ]
WHICH IS, BY THE WAY, THE WAY I

WOULD IMAGINE ALL CANADIAN
ACTORS FINDING OUT ABOUT EMMY

NOMINATIONS, JUST CHOKING ON
BACON.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> IT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

LIKE AS I WAS SAYING IT, I WAS
LIKE, DON'T SAY THIS OUT LOUD TO

SOMEBODY
BUT YEAH, I WAS SITTING ON THE

FLOOR EATING PANCAKES, AS ONE
DOES

[ LAUGHTER ]
GOT THE NEWS AND INHALED OR

EXHALED IN A POOR WAY AND YEAH,
AND THAT'S HOW I RUNG IN THE

NEWS WAS CHOKING ON BACON.
[ LAUGHTER ]

>> Seth: WHAT, I CAN'T EVEN
IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO HAVE

BOTH COMEDY ROYALTY AND CANADIAN
ROYALTY IN EUGENE LEVY AND

CATHERINE O'HARA AS YOUR
PARENTS.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE WHEN YOU FIRST
STARTED WORKING WITH THEM?

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THE SCRIPTS
ARE SO FUNNY, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY

ELEVATED SO MUCH BY BEING THE
KIND OF PERFORMERS THEY WERE

WAS IT INTIMIDATING OR WAS IT
JUST AMAZING FROM THE START?

>> UH, BOTH.
>> Seth: YEAH.

>> I'M GOING TO SAY BOTH
THEY ARE ‐‐ THEY HAVE BEEN MY

IDOLS FOR SO MANY YEARS AND WHEN
I FOUND OUT I GOT THE JOB,

BECAUSE I HADN'T WORKED FOR SO
LONG, TEEMED WITH THE FACT THAT

LIKE, IT WAS MY DREAM JOB THAT I
BOOKED

I WAS KIND OF FLOATING ON THIS
HIGH THAT I HAD A JOB AND I WAS

GOING TO BE WORKING WITH EUGENE
AND CATHERINE, BUT I DIDN'T

REALLY REALIZE UNTIL A COUPLE OF
DAYS BEFORE WHEN A FRIEND WAS

LIKE, "HEY, YOU HAVE TO NOW ACT
WITH EUGENE LEVY AND

CHATHERINE O'HARA.
[ LAUGHTER ]

AND I WAS LIKE, "OH, NO.
OH, NO, NO, NO."

AND IT REALLY DAWNED ON ME AND I
HAD A BIT OF A ‐‐ A BIT OF

MOMENT AND WAS TERRIFIED GOING
IN THE FIRST DAY

I WAS SO NERVOUS
BUT LUCKILY, DAN LEVY WAS

EQUALLY GREEN AND HE WAS NERVOUS
TOO.

AND SO WE KIND OF WENT IN
TREMBLING TOGETHER AND GOT THE

FIRST FEW TAKES OUT OF THE WAY
AND THEN EUGENE AND CATHERINE

BEING WHO THEY ARE, IT NEVER
FELT LIKE WE WERE THE NEW

INEXPERIENCED KIDS THAT WE WERE.
IT WAS SO WARM AND AWESOME AND

THEY COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE
LOVELY

SO ‐
>> Seth: I WAS TALKING TO DAN

ABOUT THIS
YOU KNOW, SIX YEARS AGO, HE AND

EUGENE CAME ON TO PROMOTE THE
PREMIERE OF "SCHITT'S CREEK" AND

AT THE TIME, I THINK THE ONLY
THING ANYONE KNEW ABOUT THE SHOW

WAS THE CHOICE THAT THEY HAD
MADE WITH THE NAME AND IT WAS

REALLY FUN
ONE, THEY OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW,

THE SECRET'S OUT THEY HAVE A
VERY LOVING FATHER/SON

RELATIONSHIP, BUT YOU ACTUALLY
IN THE CITY DOING PRESS AND I'VE

HEARD THAT YOU ACTUALLY WENT
BACK ‐‐ YOU WENT TO THEIR HOTEL

ROOM TO WATCH IT AIR, WHICH IS
PROBABLY PRETTY LATE AT NIGHT.

>> I DID, AND IT WAS
I CAN STAY UP LATE

[ LAUGHTER ]
YEAH, SO THAT WAS ONE OF MY VERY

FIRST OF MANY, BUT VERY FIRST
MOMENTS OF WHAT IS MY LIFE RIGHT

NOW.
BECAUSE I WAS IN NEW YORK CITY

FOR PRESS AND THEY PUT US UP AT
THE WALDORF HOTEL AND WE'D JUST

GONE OUT FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL
STEAK DINNER AND THERE WAS A

SNOWSTORM.
AND I WAS LIKE, I WAS CRAWLING

INTO BED AND I GOT A CALL FROM
DAN BEING LIKE, "WE'RE GOING TO

WATCH SETH MEYERS.
COME ON UP AND GIVE ME YOUR ROOM

NUMBER."
AND SO, I PULLED ON MY CRUMPLED

CLOTHES AND WENT UP.
[ LAUGHTER ]

AND IT WAS LIKE AN IMPRESSIVE
NUMBER IN THE HOTEL.

AND SO I WENT UP TO THE ROOM,
AND KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND

MARTIN SHORT, DRESSED IN A
TUXEDO, OPENS THE DOOR ‐‐ AND

GOES WITH A TRAY OF CHAMPAGNE
AND GOES, "ANNIE MURPHY!

AND I WAS LIKE, "WHAT?
AND I PROCEEDED TO GO INTO

MARTIN SHORT'S HOTEL ROOM AT THE
WALDORF AND WATCH MY FRIENDS,

EUGENE AND DAN LEVY, ON
SETH MYERS

AND IT WAS A VERY, VERY ‐‐ I
THINK IT'S LIKE A FLASH BEFORE

MY EYES WHILE I'M DYING MOMENT
>> Seth: IT ALSO SEEMS VERY COOL

AND I THINK ONE OF THE MOST
SPECIAL THINGS ABOUT ALL THE

NOMINATIONS IS THAT BOTH EUGENE
AND DAN GOT NOMINATED AND I CAN

ONLY IMAGINE HOW PROUD IT MADE
EUGENE

YOU KNOW, HE'S GOT TWO KIDS IN
THE CAST AS WELL

IS IT TRUE THAT HE JUST DELIGHTS
IN WATCHING HIS CHILDREN

PERFORM?
>> COULDN'T BE MORE DELIGHTED

WATCHING HIS KIDS PERFORM.
IT IS, THAT IS ACTUALLY ONE OF

THE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO
MISS THE VERY MOST ABOUT

SHOOTING IS WATCHING EUGENE
WATCH SARAH AND DAN.

BECAUSE HE STANDS ‐‐ HE GOES,
FIRST OF ALL, HE GOES TO GET

SNACKS AND THEN HE STANDS BEHIND
THE MONITOR AND JUST WATCHES

THEM ACT
AND HE'S MUCH LIKE A DANCE MOM

OR LIKE A STAGE MOTHER
HE MOUTHS THEIR LINES AND IS

VERY SAD WHEN THEY'RE SAD AND
HAPPY WHEN THEY'RE HAPPY

[ LAUGHTER ]
LIKE WHEN IT'S GOING ON, ALL OF

THE CREW KIND OF NUDGE EACH
OTHER AND WE ALL TAKE GREAT

PLEASURE IN WATCHING HIM WATCH
THEM

>> Seth: IT IS FULLY ADORABLE.
AND I WANT TO ASK ABOUT

CATHERINE.
SHE MADE SO MANY WONDERFUL

CHOICES IN HER DELIVERY AND
DICTION.

WAS THERE A CERTAIN WORD OF HERS
THAT YOU ENJOYED HEARING THE

MOST OVER THE COURSE OF THE SIX
SEASONS?

>> YEAH, AND IT'S NOT THE WORD
YOU WOULD EXPECT BECAUSE IT'S

NOT ONE OF THE FLOWERY, YOU
KNOW, PIECES OF VOCABULARY THAT

SHE CHOOSES.
BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE

WORD "HOW," JUST THE WORD HOW,
H‐O‐W, THREE SYLLABLES

IT WENT FROM HOW TO "H‐O‐W."
[ LAUGHTER ]

AND IT BLEW MY MIND.
IT BLEW MY MIND.

SHE'S A MIRACLE.
>> Seth: YEAH WELL, YOU WERE

VERY LUCKY TO BE THAT PROXIMITY
TO GREATNESS

IT'S VERY RARE IN THIS GAME, AND
IT'S REALLY AWESOME THAT THE

EMMY VOTERS RECOGNIZED HOW
ACROSS THE BOARD WONDERFUL YOU

ALL WERE ON THAT SHOW.
AND CONGRATULATIONS, ANNIE

>> THANK YOU
THANKS, SETH

IT WAS REALLY NICE TO MEET YOU
>> Seth: IT WAS THE SAME HERE.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
COMEDIAN SAM JAY

♪

>> Seth: OUR NEXT GUEST IS AN

EMMY NOMINATED WRITER AND
COMEDIAN WHOSE WORK YOU KNOW

FROM "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.
HER STAND‐UP SPECIAL "SAM JAY

3:00 IN THE MORNING" IS
AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX NOW

HERE'S MY CONVERSATION WITH
SAM JAY.

HI, SAM, HOW ARE YOU
>> HEY, SETH, WHAT'S GOING ON?

HOW ARE YOU?
>> Seth: I'M DOING GREAT

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR
SPECIAL WHICH I LOVED, BUT I

ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHEN WE
COLLABORATED, I GUESS YOU COULD

SAY.
WHEN I HOSTED SNL, YOU AND

GARY RICHARDSON WROTE A SKETCH
FOR ME

DO YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE THE
PREMISE TO EVERYONE?

>> WELL, THE PREMISE OF THE
SKETCH WAS THAT YOU WERE LIKE AN

EXECUTIVE FOR A COMPANY AND YOU
HAD DRESSED UP LIKE CARDI B. FOR

HALLOWEEN BUT ALL YOU DID WAS
THE WIG AND THE PURSE, AND I

THINK THE NAILS.
AND EVERYTHING ELSE WAS JUST A

MAN'S BUSINESS SUIT, SO YOU
DIDN'T REALLY COMMIT TO THE

COSTUME.
AND THEN YOU GOT VERY FRUSTRATED

WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T RECOGNIZE WHO YOU WERE.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: IT WAS A LOT OF FUN,

AND IT WAS ‐‐ A VERY NATURAL
CONCLUSION AS TO WHAT TO WRITE

FOR SETH MEYERS.
I APPRECIATE ‐

>> IT WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF
THOSE ONES WHERE WE WERE INTO

THE SKETCH, AND WE'RE LIKE ‐‐ IN
THE FIRST BLOCKING, I WAS LIKE,

"GARY, I DON'T KNOW IF SETH
WANTS TO DO THIS."

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: NO, NO.

I SWEAR, I WAS ALL IN.
[ LAUGHTER ]

I WAS ALL IN
IF ANYTHING ‐‐

>> I DON'T KNOW IF HE LIKES
THIS

>> Seth: I THINK YOU WERE UP
AGAINST MY LIMITATIONS AS A

PERFORMER IF ANYTHING.
SO YOU ‐‐ YOU'RE A WRITER ON THE

SHOW, BUT YOU ‐‐ I DIDN'T
REALIZE THAT YOU HAD AUDITIONED.

THAT'S HOW THEY ‐‐ THAT ‐‐ THEY
BASICALLY FOUND YOU TO JOIN THE

STAFF.
WHAT DID YOU AUDITION WITH WHEN

YOU ‐‐
>> JUST STAND‐UP

THAT'S ALL I HAD
SO I JUST WENT UP AND JUST DID

MY JOKES
WHICH WAS VERY NERVE‐WRACKING

BECAUSE THAT'S SUCH A WEIRD
SPACE TO DO JUST STRAIGHT COMEDY

IN
>> Seth: SURE.

>> NOT THAT THERE'S WORSE SPACE
TO DO ANYTHING IN BUT

PARTICULARLY, LIKE, COMEDY
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS JUST OFF IN

A CORNER, LIKE, STARING AT YOU,
YOU KNOW

>> Seth: YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY
ONE OF THE HARDEST ROOMS I'VE

EVER BEEN IN AND I CAN IMAGINE
HOW IT WOULD BE PARTICULARLY

TOUGH FOR STAND‐UP WHERE YOU'RE
USED TO DOING IT FOR AN

AUDIENCE
>> YEAH, OR AT LEAST PEOPLE THAT

ARE WILLING TO REACT
LIKE GIVE YOU A REACTION

[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: IT'S A PRETTY CHILLY

ROOM
SO SAM, IT WAS INTERESTING

BECAUSE, AGAIN I ‐‐ YOU KNOW, I
MET YOU AT "SNL," AND BEING A

WRITER AT SNL OFTENTIMES, YOU'RE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, LIKE,

WHAT'S THE VOICE I CAN WRITE FOR
THIS HOST THIS WEEK OR HOW DO I

FIND THE RIGHT THING FOR THIS
PERSON TO SAY.

AND I LOVED WATCHING YOUR
SPECIAL BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, THAT

IS NATURALLY YOUR VOICE.
YOU KNOW, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN

NOTHING IN THAT SPECIAL WOULD
HAVE WORKED IN ANYONE ELSE'S ‐‐

YOU KNOW, FOR ANYONE BUT YOU
SO HOW ‐‐ WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE

LIKE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO WRITE
FOR "SNL" AND WRITE FOR STAND‐UP

AT THE SAME TIME
>> I MEAN, I THINK IT'S JUST,

YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE
FOR OTHER VOICES, REALLY, AND

ALSO KIND OF LIKE START TO WATCH
THE CAST AND REALLY FIGURE OUT

WHAT THEY LIKE AND WHAT TYPE OF
THINGS THEY REALLY THRIVE IN

SO, IT'S WAY MORE COLLABORATIVE
AND LIKE, STAND‐UP, WHICH IS

ALL, LIKE, IN A CORNER BEING
CYNICAL, YOU KNOW, WITH

OURSELVES.
>> Seth: YEAH.

>> AND THEN, LIKE, IMPROV'S SO
HAPPY.

ONE, IT'S JUST SUCH A HAPPIER
SPACE.

AND SOMETIMES, THAT WAS
DEFINITELY OFF‐PUTTING AT FIRST.

I WAS JUST LIKE, "I DON'T GET
WHY EVERYONE IS SO JOYOUS.

AND THEN, IT'S ALSO JUST
LEARNING HOW TO WRITE FOR FOUR

AND FIVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND
TRULY CAST A PIECE, AND CHOOSE

THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR THE RIGHT
THINGS

>> Seth: OF COURSE, THE NICE
DIFFERENCE IS, I FEEL LIKE AFTER

WATCHING YOUR SPECIAL, I HAVE A
FAR BETTER SENSE OF WHO YOU ARE.

I FEEL LIKE I KNOW YOU NOW,
WHICH IS, YOU KNOW AGAIN, I

THINK WHAT THE BEST STAND‐UP
SPECIALS DO.

YOU CALLED IT 3:00 IN THE
MORNING.

WHY DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT
TITLE?

>> I JUST REALLY FELT LIKE
THAT'S WHERE THE SPECIAL GOT

MADE
I JUST FELT LIKE THAT'S WHEN I

WAS UP AT THE CELLAR ARGUING
WITH KEITH ROBINSON ABOUT, YOU

KNOW, WHO'S BETTER, WHITNEY OR
BEYONCE OR JUST HAVING SOME,

LIKE, MINDLESS COMIC FIGHT THAT
WOULD INFORM A JOKE OR AN IDEA

OR IT WHEN IT WAS UP ‐‐ WHEN MY
MIND WAS STEWING ON THINGS

OR WHEN I WAS ARGUING WITH MY
GIRL FOR BEING OUT TOO LATE AT

THE CELLAR, YOU KNOW, SO IT JUST
KIND OF FELT TO ME, LIKE THAT'S

WHERE ALL THE SWEAT EQUITY
HAPPENED

AND I DIDN'T WANT TO CALL IT,
LIKE, SHE'S UPSET OR SOMETHING,

YOU KNOW
>> Seth: RIGHT

>> I WANTED TO THINK OF
SOMETHING THAT FELT NATURAL AND

GOOD AND REALLY EMBODIED WHAT
THE SPECIAL WAS FOR ME

>> Seth: IT ALSO ‐‐ YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY I'M GONNA ASSUME YOU

DIDN'T SHOOT IT AT 3:00 IN THE
MORNING BUT IT REALLY HAS THIS

NICE LOOK AND FEEL TO IT THAT I
THINK CAPTURES THE IDEA OF THE

KIND OF CONVERSATIONS AND KIND
OF THINGS YOU SAY WHEN YOU'RE

WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE YOU FEEL
COMFORTABLE WITH THAT LATE IN

THE NIGHT.
>> YEAH, THAT WAS ALSO, LIKE,

I'M GLAD YOU PICKED THAT UP
BECAUSE THAT WAS A PART OF MY

GENIUS
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING

[ LAUGHTER ]
BUT ‐‐ THAT WAS DEFINITELY,

LIKE, SOMETHING THAT I WANTED
PEOPLE TO FEEL

I WANTED IT TO HAVE THAT OLD,
LIKE RED FOX SPECIAL FEEL LIKE,

THIS IS LATE NIGHT THING AND
YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HEAR

SOME THINGS THAT YOU PROBABLY
DON'T WANT TO BE PLAYING IN THE

DAY.
BUT LIKE, WE'RE UP, WE'RE

DRINKING, AND IT'S GROWN FOLK
TALK

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
I JUST ‐‐ I DEFINITELY WANTED IT

TO FEEL LIKE THAT.
>> Seth: ONE OF THE COOL THINGS

ABOUT "SNL" IS YOU GET TO WORK
WITH YOUR HEROES, SOMETIMES ON

THINGS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY THE
REASON THEY'RE YOUR HEROES

I REMEMBER GETTING TO WORK ON
"WAYNE'S WORLD" WITH MIKE MYERS

AND DANA CARVEY AND PINCHING
MYSELF THE WHOLE TIME.

WHEN EDDIE MURPHY CAME BACK, YOU
GOT TO WORK WITH HIM ON

VELVET JONES
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE

>> IT WAS SURREAL, BECAUSE IT
DEFINITELY WAS ONE OF THOSE

RELATIONSHIPS WHERE I USED TO
WATCH THE BEST OF EDDIE MURPHY

"SNL" TAPE EVERY DAY FOR LIKE A
WHOLE SUMMER, AND I WOULD JUST

WATCH THOSE SKETCHES OVER AND
OVER AND VELVET JONES WAS

DEFINITELY ONE THAT STOOD OUT TO
ME AND ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH.

SO WHEN I GOT ‐‐ WHEN I WAS ABLE
TO DO THAT AND LIKE, THE

ORIGINAL WRITERS THAT CAME WITH
EDDIE TO, YOU KNOW, HELP HIM

THAT WEEK AND WHEN THEY WERE
EVEN LIKE, YEAH, THIS IS SUPER

FUNNY.
IT JUST FELT LIKE A WEIRD

VALIDATION OF LIKE, "OH, I'M
LIKE A GOOD SUPER FAN.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

WHEN YOU REALIZED, LOOK, YOU
KNOW I'M A FAN, BUT AT LEAST I'M

THE RIGHT KIND OF FAN BECAUSE I
UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS FUNNY ABOUT

YOU.
>> YEAH, EXACTLY

AND SO THAT FELT ‐‐ THAT FELT
AMAZING.

>> Seth: IT WAS SUCH A FANTASTIC
WEEK TO WATCH BECAUSE IT'S WEIRD

HOW I JUST FORGOT THE BEST THING
ABOUT EDDIE IS THAT ALL HIS

CHARACTERS ARE IN A GOOD MOOD.
THEY'RE JUST ALL HAPPY

>> YEAH.
>> Seth: AND THEN YOU'RE JUST ‐‐

IT'S JUST SO CONTAGIOUS TO WATCH
HIM.

>> YEAH, AND IT WAS CRAZY TO,
LIKE, WATCH HIM GET HIS FEET

UNDER HIM.
YOU KNOW, YOU COULD TELL WHEN HE

WAS FIRST WALKING AROUND, IT WAS
LIKE, THIS IS FAMILIAR SPACE BUT

UNFAMILIAR SPACE, YOU KNOW WHAT
I MEAN

AND THEN BY LIKE, FRIDAY, YOU'RE
IN BLOCKING AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH

NO, HE'S FULL EDDIE MURPHY
HE'S IN IT AGAIN AND IT WAS KIND

OF COOL TO JUST WATCH HIM GET
HIS LEGS BACK UNDER HIM AND GET

TO RUNNING
IT WAS GREAT

>> Seth: YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR
GIRLFRIEND A FAIR AMOUNT IN THE

SPECIAL AND YOU ALSO GIVE HER A
SPECIAL THANKS AND YOU REFERENCE

A PURPLE COUCH
CAN YOU GIVE US THE BACKGROUND

OF THE PURPLE COUCH?
>> YEAH, WELL, WHEN I FIRST WAS

WITH MY GIRLFRIEND, SHE WAS
LIKE, SHE HAD A BUSINESS AND

STUFF, SO SHE RAN HER OWN
BUSINESS ON AUBURN AVE IN

ATLANTA.
AND SHE WAS THE FIRST

PROFESSIONAL GIRL I HAD EVER
DATED AND I WAS LIKE KIND OF A

SUPER BUM.
AND LIKE, I WORKED AT A

STARBUCKS AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE
MONEY TO BUY HER PIZZA ON OUR

FIRST DATE
IT WAS SUPER EMBARRASSING AND

ALL OF THAT.
BUT SHE WAS LIKE, THE FIRST GIRL

THAT I EVER HAD TO CALL A ‐‐ A
DOORMAN HAD TO CALL UP TO LET ME

UP ‐‐ THAT KIND OF JAZZ.
AND SHE HAD THIS VERY

UNCOMFORTABLE PURPLE COUCH IN
HER APARTMENT THAT SHE HAD

PURELY FOR VANITY AND NOT FOR
COMFORT IN ANY WAY

[ LAUGHTER ]
AND ONE NIGHT, WE WERE SITTING

ON IT AND SHE JUST KIND ASKED ME
WHAT I WANTED TO DO WITH MY

LIFE
SHE WAS LIKE, I JUST DON'T FEEL

LIKE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO
BE

AND YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT THAT
YOU REALLY WANT AND I TOLD HER

THAT I WANTED TO BE A COMEDIAN
AND SHE ASKED ME WHY I JUST

DON'T GO DO IT AND I TOLD HER
BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID

SO SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON THAT
I WAS VULNERABLE ABOUT MY DREAMS

WITH IN THAT WAY
AND TO THEN BE ABLE TO SHARE

DOING A SPECIAL WITH HER, IT WAS
JUST SUCH A FULL CIRCLE, LIKE,

REALLY, TOUCHING MOMENT FOR US
>> Seth: THAT'S REALLY COOL.

IT'S ALSO, I MEAN, I COULD SAY
THE SAME ABOUT HOW SUPPORTIVE MY

WIFE HAS BEEN.
OF COURSE, THE PRICE THEY PAY

FOR BEING WITH COMEDIANS, AS WE
TALK ABOUT THEM A GREAT DEAL

WHEN WE GET ON STAGE
DOES SHE SIGN OFF ON THE THINGS

YOU TALK ABOUT
>> YEAH, FOR SURE.

LIKE, I ALWAYS RUN THINGS BY
HER.

EVEN IF I GET UP AND I JUST SAY
IT WITHOUT HER KNOWING

BEFOREHAND, AS SOON AS I GET OFF
STAGE, I'M LIKE, WERE YOU COOL

WITH THAT?
WOULD YOU RATHER I NEVER SAID

THAT AGAIN
YOU KNOW, I'M VERY, LIKE,

PARTICULAR ABOUT CHECKING IN
WITH HER BECAUSE I LIVE WITH HER

AND I ‐‐
>> Seth: YEAH.

>> NEXT TO HER, SO I SHOULD WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE'S GOOD

>> Seth: THAT'S A VERY, YOU'RE
PLAYING IT VERY WISELY

LATELY I FEEL LIKE THE BEST
THING TO DO IS SAY, LIKE, HEY,

HERE'S WHAT I WANT MY SPECIAL TO
BE

YOU CAN VETO THREE JOKES AND I
FEEL LIKE YOU TRY TO HAVE AT

LEAST 20 IN ABOUT THEM, THEN
THREE IS A VERY FAIR TRADE‐OFF

>> YEAH.
PLUS, WITH MY GIRL, LIKE, SHE

LIKES FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT HER A
LITTLE BIT

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
>> Seth: SURE, YEAH.

>> SO SHE'S LIKE, YEAH THAT'S ‐‐
SHE'S KIND OF INTO IT, DEPENDING

ON WHAT I SAY.
>> Seth: WELL, THAT WOULD, I

REMEMBER SAYING TO MY WIFE, WHAT
ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL

JOKES ABOUT?
I LITERALLY SPEND MORE TIME WITH

YOU THAN ANYONE.
>> RIGHT, I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER

OPTIONS.
SOMETIMES IT FEELS BAD, LIKE

YOU'RE MINING YOUR PARTNER, BUT
IT'S LIKE, I'M WITH YOU ALL THE

TIME
SO, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE

TO DO.
>> Seth: I THINK WE'RE BOTH VERY

LUCKY TO HAVE UNDERSTANDING
PARTNERS IN THAT REGARD.

>> SURE.
>> Seth: HEY, CONGRATS AGAIN ON

THE SPECIAL AND IT'S REALLY NICE
TO SEE YOU SAM AND HOPEFULLY,

ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'LL BUMP TO
YOU IN 30 ROCK AGAIN

>> YEAH, AND MAYBE THIS
HALLOWEEN YOU'LL BE CARDI B.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Seth: I GOT THE WIG

[ LAUGHTER ]
THANKS, THANKS, SAM.

>> THANKS.
>> Seth: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK

WITH MORE "LATE NIGHT.
