00:00It reminded me of a time when the dentist insisted on making chit chat during my root canal.
00:10The scent looks like it's from an old garage.
00:12It looks like it smells nice, but he might pong.
00:22Apparently you've got some feedback for me mate.
00:24You want the good or the bad?
00:25I'll take the bad.
00:26If you wanted to start really slow, you did well.
00:30The set?
00:31Crap it out loud, open that money bag of yours and get a decent set.
00:34An opinionated American, who would have thought?
00:36I do think the desk chair is like awkward.
00:41It's like someone's been called into HR.
00:43Those chairs look like you picked them up in a garage sale.
00:46Pushed into a Christmas tree, painful.
00:48Swear to God, if you push one more celebrity into a Christmas tree,
00:52I'm coming over there and kicking your ass.
00:54I think you've made your point.
00:55Hi, Sam.
00:56Hi, Mum.
00:56Is your show really getting another season?
00:59Yes, it is.
01:00Why?
01:02Thank you for your feedback.
01:03Have you got any other tips for season two?
01:05I love the concept of the wheel.
01:06Right.
01:07Are you writing this down?
01:09Absolutely, sorry.
01:10You pull back the curtain and there's Kitty Flanagan in the slam dunking box.
01:14Right.
01:15And the guy gets one shot at the, to try and dunk her into the water.
01:19So you want me to do on national television an idea from like a circus in 1940.
01:25Yeah?
01:26Okay.
01:27Hey, how's dad?
01:28It's okay.
01:29But you're still together.
01:30Yeah, kind of.
01:32Will you be watching season two?
01:34Certainly will.
01:35Absolutely.
01:35100%.
01:36I'll be there, Sam.
01:37I've got no life.
01:39Live across Australia, this is Sam Pang tonight.
01:49And now, here's your host, Mr. Sam Pang.
01:57Whoa.
01:58All right, man.
01:58Have fun, mate.
02:00Wow, look at this.
02:07Thank you very much.
02:08Thank you very much.
02:21Good evening.
02:22And firstly, a big welcome to my special guest announcer, Mr. Ray O'Leary.
02:33Ray, I say this sincerely.
02:34It means a lot to me that you're here.
02:35Thank you for taking time out of your busy social calendar.
02:39I, uh...
02:40Look, I'm serious.
02:41I know that Minecraft doesn't just play itself.
02:45Um...
02:47No, Network 10 insisted on it.
02:48They said for your first episode back, you needed some eye candy.
02:52I would have thought the licking of the lips was not entirely necessary then, right?
03:02But Channel 10 have nailed that, mate.
03:04That's right, by the way.
03:05Sam Pang tonight is back.
03:06And you may have noticed that like many of my Channel 10 colleagues, the show has had a complete facelift.
03:17Because, yes, we have a new set after receiving a lot of complaints.
03:22Who knew that everyone posting Facebook comments from the toilet also happened to be an interior designer?
03:30We found that out, didn't we, Ray?
03:32Now, it's obviously been a huge day of news with two opposing sides finally coming together.
03:39Yes, that's right.
03:39Katy Perry is dating Justin Trudeau.
03:44Wonderful news.
03:45How exciting.
03:46And congratulations to them both.
03:48He's dating an astronaut.
03:53And she's dating a person of colour.
03:54So that's really...
04:04You know, I was at that party.
04:06I had a blast.
04:09There's a big surprise, Ray.
04:11Now, it's been a tough week for Qantas.
04:13The hackers who targeted Qantas have made good on their threat, reportedly releasing the personal data of more than 5 million customers.
04:22That's right, another day, another privacy breach.
04:24A message to all the hackers who have my personal details.
04:28Just once, would it kill you to wish me a happy birthday?
04:30And honestly, I'd happily pay you if you could tell me what any of my passwords are.
04:40But to the big one, the fallout to the other big international conflict continues.
04:49The Nicole Urban...
04:50Nicole Urban?
04:55That's a whole different story.
04:57I'm talking about, of course, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's divorce.
05:00Now, apparently, we all know the story.
05:02But apparently, the final straw was when Nicole asked Keith if he'd been unfaithful.
05:07And Keith asked Nicole if she could name one of his songs.
05:10Ray, can you name one of Keith Urban's songs?
05:19Uh, Urban?
05:21Uh, Gangster's Paradise?
05:29That may be the last time I'm coming to you tonight, Ray.
05:31I'm not going to lie.
05:33This was interesting, though.
05:34Apparently, their marriage included a clause where Urban was paid $600,000
05:38for every year he didn't do cocaine.
05:41Yeah, that's right.
05:42That's almost $11 million coming Keith's way.
05:45I'll be keeping an eye out to see if he requests all of it in cash.
05:51In $300 installments.
05:54$300?
05:56$300, Ray.
05:56I know a guy who can get you...
06:02Sorry, I did have a bump before the show.
06:08That's why I'm so energetic.
06:12You can really tell.
06:15$300, Ray.
06:16Yeah, but I know a guy who can get it to you for $250.
06:20Probably shouldn't have gone back for that one.
06:22Anyway, what are you going to do, eh?
06:24In some related news, though, Alec Baldwin's wife has offered to pay Alec $500,000
06:29for every year he doesn't kill someone.
06:31Look, I'm not going to lie, I wasn't sure about that one, but I rolled the dice because,
06:43you know, as Alec would say, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
06:46Now, to Nobel Prize news, Donald Trump's hopes of winning the Nobel Peace Prize were dashed
06:57over the weekend, with the award instead going to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Carina Machado.
07:03In related news, the Carina Machado has also won Best Small Car of 2025.
07:07But, incitingly, an Australian scientist has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
07:18for his work in the development of metal-organic frameworks.
07:23Now, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, and help me out here, Ray, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
07:27Aloy, Aloy, Aloy!
07:33Amazingly, that went worse in rehearsal.
07:37And yet we still did it.
07:41Now, it's big news, but I'd love to tell you the name of the winner, but let's be honest,
07:46like the rest of the country, after seeing the headline, I didn't read the article.
07:50I read the article, Sam.
07:51You read the article, Ray?
07:53No.
07:56By the way, Ray, the way things are going at the moment,
07:58you and I are shoo-in to win the Nobel Prize for lack of chemistry.
08:03By the way, I think you said it wrong, by the way, Ray, so help me out here, everyone.
08:06Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
08:11Not worth going back for either.
08:14To tech news and experts are worried about the troubling rise in AI girlfriends.
08:19True story.
08:20For analysis, let's go to our AI girlfriend expert, Ray O'Leary.
08:24What are the odds we'd have you here on this night when all that news is it?
08:34Well, look, you may call them AI girlfriends, Sam, but I call them girlfriends.
08:40Ray, in all seriousness, I've known you a long time.
08:44How's it going with your AI girlfriend?
08:45Look, not well.
08:46She's ghosted me.
08:49But don't worry, I've got a new girl now and she's watching at home,
08:51so I'd just like to shout out her.
08:53Hey, Siri.
08:56Hi, big boy.
08:57I miss you.
08:57I can't wait to get home.
08:59Not now.
08:59Not now.
09:00Please don't tell her about my bit on the side, Alexa.
09:05I don't know.
09:08We'll move on, don't worry.
09:10Meanwhile, over the weekend, a baby has been born in Nashville, weighing nearly six kilos.
09:15I know.
09:16It's thought to be the second biggest baby in the world outside of Donald Trump losing the Nobel Peace Prize.
09:21Now, here's a picture of the six kilogram newborn.
09:27Well, just take that in.
09:31Now, I say this sincerely.
09:32What a beautiful baby.
09:40What a beautiful baby is what you'd usually say in these circumstances.
09:46I think Anne Geddes will be steering well clear of that one.
09:48Now, I know you're all laughing, but this is a little bit triggering.
09:53I was quite a big baby.
09:54I think we've got a picture of me as a child.
10:03Of course, I'm happy to acknowledge you wouldn't see that today.
10:06Most toddlers are vaping now.
10:10Stick around.
10:10We've got Rosie O'Donnell, Star of Lute, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Joel Kim Booster,
10:14and the return of the Wheel of Segments.
10:16It's going to be a great show.
10:17Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, sorry to interrupt.
10:19Thank you so much for having me here.
10:20It's just on a roll.
10:21I know, but I feel like the show, it's going a bit to your head.
10:26Hosting this show's gone to my head.
10:28Well, I just, some of the crew have been in contact with me.
10:30They took some footage of you throughout the week, and I've got it here.
10:36It's coming.
10:36I love you into this movie tonight.
10:51I love you!
10:56You're all doing a fantastic job.
11:11Keep working hard and you'll continue to make Sampang Tonight
11:14the greatest television show in the history of civilisation.
11:17No, what's happening?
11:26What's happening?
11:27Stop, please, please, please, please, stop, please.
11:30No, no.
11:38He really is a monster.
11:41Still, it's not so bad in here, better than watching the Logies.
11:45Can you put that back on?
11:47I don't want to be seen on this show.
11:49Sampang Tonight, Jesus.
11:51Thank God no one's watching.
11:59Welcome back to Sampang Tonight with your ho-
12:02Oh, did I go?
12:03Oh, no, what?
12:04Can I just say, we're in this together.
12:17It's not that hard.
12:23You know what, I'll just do it.
12:24Welcome back to Sampang Tonight with your ho-
12:27Sam Jong-un.
12:28Here you go, that's how you do it.
12:32As you know, Ray was not my first choice.
12:38No, of course he was.
12:39I love him and we're gonna, if you're here at the end of the show,
12:42it'll be a massive surprise.
12:43I'm not gonna lie.
12:44Listen, as you know, I'm very receptive, Ray, to feedback on this show,
12:48especially when it comes to the guest chair.
12:50So, we had our very own and the talented Ray O'Leary trial a few new options
12:55to see what was right for the show.
12:57How do you think it went, Ray?
12:58Yeah, let's just say you can call me the chairman of the board.
13:05That was the line I should have messed up, I think.
13:10I think we can safely say I won't be doing that, Ray.
13:13But let's have a look and see what you tried out.
13:15Wee!
13:20What do you think?
13:21I don't think so.
13:27Nearly, yeah.
13:28Oh, that's a sport.
13:30Really?
13:31Yeah, be back.
13:32Maximum comfort.
13:36Do you need a hand?
13:37No!
13:41Alright, that's the one.
13:42A milk crate?
13:43Don't talk to me while I'm on my smoker.
13:46If we could find a chair you can get out of, that would be great.
13:52These things will kill you.
13:54Yeah, I don't think that one's going to work.
13:56I used to see one of these all the time.
14:02I might go over the head.
14:03Mate, I don't think this is the one, but here goes.
14:06So, tell us about the new movie.
14:07I'm afraid of heights, I'm afraid of heights, I'm afraid of heights, I'm afraid of heights.
14:10What about this one, Ray?
14:11I mean, it doesn't even vibrate.
14:13So, you definitely don't like it?
14:14Not at all.
14:15Great, we have a winner then.
14:18Can I keep the massage chair?
14:21Yeah, go on, it's yours.
14:29Fun fact, we actually burned all those chairs after filming that.
14:33But we do have a new chair and an incredible first guest to christen it.
14:38She's an Emmy award-winning talk show host who starred in classics like Sleepless in Seattle, A League of Their Own, and right now she's touring her comedy show Common Knowledge right around Australia.
14:48There's no denying she's a comedy superstar.
14:50Surprise!
14:51Here we go.
14:52The camera's there.
14:53Hi, right in there.
14:55What do you think about Madonna?
14:56I love you.
14:57Now I know what some of you are thinking.
14:59Let's get Rosie O'Donnell.
15:00I got that.
15:01At first dibs, I touched her first, Larry.
15:02You were a virgin?
15:03Yes.
15:04I'm a nun.
15:05Thank you, Rosie.
15:08Please welcome Rosie O'Donnell.
15:18Oh my God.
15:19Hi.
15:20Thank you for coming.
15:21Here it is.
15:28Look at this.
15:29Rosie, would you do the honours?
15:32I would be thrilled.
15:34Now this is very nice.
15:35Was it Officeworks?
15:36Yeah.
15:37Yeah.
15:38Okay.
15:39Here we go.
15:40Do it.
15:41I'm honoured.
15:42Whoa!
15:43Whoa!
15:44Honey.
15:45I'll take them off you.
15:46You need that back?
15:47Yes.
15:48All right.
15:49Okay.
15:50How are you?
15:51Rosie, thanks so much for coming.
15:52Can I just say something?
15:53Yes.
15:54Unbelievably comfortable.
15:56I could sit here all night.
15:59How are you?
16:00So you're happy?
16:01I'm thrilled.
16:02Nobody thought it was coming.
16:05No.
16:06Not even Mom.
16:07No.
16:08Mom was not...
16:09Mom was surprised.
16:10Mom's not watching tonight, Rosie, of course.
16:13Okay.
16:14All right, good.
16:15There's a harness racing on tonight, so she'll be fine.
16:18Now, thank you for christening the chair.
16:20Yes.
16:21This is a very big thrill.
16:22You're the first one to sit in it.
16:23Now, first time in Australia.
16:25Yes.
16:26You've been here for 10 days.
16:2710 days.
16:28What are your thoughts?
16:29First of all, people are lovely.
16:30Yep.
16:31Kind.
16:32Welcoming.
16:33I cannot do the accent, and I'd like to apologise if I do it tonight.
16:37And I went whale watching.
16:40Where did you do that?
16:43On a boat called Fantasy, S-E-A.
16:46Okay.
16:47And they take you out at the Sydney Harbour, and they gave us a speech, and again, I apologise
16:52for the accent, but they were like, you'll probably throw up.
16:56So we bought the vomit bag, and it looked like an elephant condom.
17:00It was like a long tube for your vomit, you know.
17:04And they said, you know, 20 minutes they spent on explaining how to seal the vomit bag.
17:10Right.
17:11And then I said to the guy, on a day like this, what percentage of people usually barf?
17:15He said, oh, about 83%.
17:18Very specific.
17:19I was like, thank God I paid my money and got on here.
17:22He also said, now don't be worried if we see a whale and it doesn't breach.
17:27Whales breaching is very strange.
17:29We saw 12 whales, every single one of them breached.
17:32Wow.
17:33It was like a free willy exposition, you know.
17:36And exposition, that's totally the wrong word.
17:38Anyway, my friend from New York, she was on the boat with me, and she was filming.
17:44And she's a very loud New Yorker.
17:47And every time that we saw a whale breach, you'd hear the whole boat go, ooh, ahh.
17:52And then you'd hear her going, I got it!
17:55I got it!
17:56Did anyone else get it?
17:57I got it!
17:58On my iPhone!
17:59I'm like, this is why people hate Americans, right here.
18:03I get that excited every time Ray doesn't stuff up the throne.
18:08Now, does Ray look a little like a young Weird Al Yankovic, or is it me?
18:12No, he's just a tiny bit.
18:15Rosie, I think you're right.
18:16I personally think he looks like an old Weird Al Yankovic.
18:20Ray, you're a younger man.
18:21Do you know who Weird Al Yankovic is?
18:23Yeah, I do actually.
18:24I was actually going to ask Rosie, where can you buy those elephant condoms?
18:27Because they can be quite useful in front of you.
18:31They sell them at the Ray-Size store.
18:35Now, Rosie, like I said, it's a genuine thrill for you to have you here.
18:38Well, thank you so much.
18:39Thank you so much.
18:40And I love being on your show.
18:42Well, let's maybe wait till the end.
18:45No, I don't mean tonight.
18:46I mean the other one.
18:47Have you been paying attention?
18:48That was so fun.
18:49I had the greatest time on that show.
18:51Well, this one won't be the same.
18:54Let's just get through it together though, Rosie.
18:56All right, keep going.
18:57You've done so much in your career, and we're going to talk to you about it in the next break.
19:00But can you explain this surprising appearance to me?
19:04Okay.
19:05What title was taken from Britain's Diana?
19:08I'm going to call Rosie.
19:09Rosie, and what does she do?
19:10She's a talk show host in New York.
19:15Hello?
19:16Rosie.
19:17Oh, no, Rejo.
19:18Yes, it's me.
19:19What title was taken from Britain's Diana?
19:22I'm going to say Her Royal Highness.
19:23And if you lose it, the guilt, I'm going to give you the money anyway.
19:28She's right.
19:32Thank God in heaven.
19:33Thank God.
19:34Oh, man.
19:35And I didn't even know that guy.
19:37No, I didn't.
19:38I talked on my show about how much I loved it and how I want to be a phone-a-friend.
19:42And then this guy wrote me and said, I'm on two days from now.
19:45Are you free?
19:46And I said, sure.
19:47And when the phone rang, I had total diarrhea cramps.
19:50And I was like, I got to run to the bathroom.
19:52I can't believe that.
19:53I thought that was a friend of yours, and they put you down as a phone-a-friend.
19:56Never met him in my life.
19:58And I was thinking, I don't want to lose it for him because, you know, that's a lot of money.
20:02Would you...
20:03If you were on that show, though, and you had to phone a friend, who would yours be?
20:07My friend Carolyn Strauss, who went to Harvard.
20:09Every time we play Scrabble, she has to spot me 100 points.
20:13Ivy League.
20:14That's the rule.
20:15But, you know, I was on.
20:16Oh, how'd you go?
20:17I was...
20:18I won $500,000 for my charity.
20:21Really?
20:22And then they asked the million-dollar question, and I was like, I think I know it, but I'm
20:27not sure I know it.
20:28And then I thought about, do I want to risk all that money?
20:31And so I just took the money.
20:32I took the $500 and went home.
20:34$500,000 is amazing.
20:35That's a lot of money.
20:36A lot of money.
20:37A lot of money.
20:39A lot of money.
20:40Must have hurt when you had to...
20:41When you realized you'd have to give it a charity.
20:43Anyway, Rosie, there's so much more to ask you.
20:46Will you stick around?
20:47I'm free the whole night, Sam.
20:48Wonderful.
20:49Back in a moment with more Rosie O'Donnell.
21:00Welcome back.
21:01I'm sitting here with Rosie O'Donnell, who is currently touring her show Common Knowledge
21:06in Melbourne.
21:07Stand up right around the country.
21:09There you go.
21:10You're in Sydney and then you're in Melbourne.
21:12Little tip for the Melbourne crowd there, Rosie.
21:15I'd get them to hand in their machetes at the start of the...
21:19But how's it all going?
21:21Are you excited about the stand up?
21:22So excited.
21:23I did it at the Sydney Opera House, which was a thrill and an honor.
21:26Iconic place.
21:27I was absolutely blown away by the whole thing.
21:30And you know, I tried to come here in 2013.
21:32And the producer guy person was like, you know, this is going to be great.
21:36And then he called me two months later and said, couldn't sell any tickets.
21:39Goodbye.
21:41And so I never got to be here.
21:43I wished it as a 13 year old kid to go to Hawaii and to come to Australia.
21:47And here I am 50 years later.
21:49So don't give up on your dreams, you know.
21:53You got here, Rosie.
21:54So this is quite daunting for me, not only because of your storied career, but you hosted
21:59over a thousand episodes of the Rosie O'Donnell Show.
22:01I did that in fact.
22:02And you had some unbelievable guests.
22:04Yes, absolutely.
22:05Look at these guests.
22:06Well, I won't name them all, but Madonna, Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Barbara Streisand,
22:10Elton John, Martin Short, Julie Roberts, Al Pacino.
22:14Favorite?
22:15Favorite, probably Barbara Streisand.
22:17But the best guest to have on, and you should book him, is Marty Short.
22:21Because you come out and say, how you doing, Marty?
22:24And it's over for you.
22:26And he stands up and he goes, I'm here!
22:29You know, anytime he wants.
22:31He was the funniest and the nicest guy.
22:33So I would say Marty Short was definitely one of the best.
22:37One of the worst.
22:38Yeah, worst.
22:39Who I love the guy, but he's not good on talk shows.
22:43Keanu Reeves.
22:44Oh, really?
22:45He's so sweet.
22:46He looks gorgeous.
22:48I love all his movies, but he would not answer a question.
22:52I'd say, so Keanu, how's it going?
22:54How you feeling?
22:55Good.
22:56You know?
22:57And finally, after like eight, we were live.
23:00You know, we didn't, couldn't retape.
23:02I finally said after like three minutes, you know, Keanu, it is a talk show.
23:06You have to talk.
23:07You know?
23:08But he did come back and he got the hang of it.
23:11But he's a lovely man and a good hearted guy.
23:14So I don't want to throw him under the bus.
23:16I could have said Tom Selleck, which would have been easy to do.
23:19I saw that one.
23:20That was amazing.
23:21That was, I know.
23:22Wonderfully awkward.
23:23You know what happened?
23:24It was very awkward because I had never been unkind or controversial.
23:28But Columbine had just happened.
23:30Right.
23:31It was 1999.
23:32And he had an ad in the magazines that said, I am the NRA.
23:36Yeah.
23:37Shooting teaches children good values.
23:39And I was so torn up about Columbine that I just didn't give up.
23:43And then like an innocent idiot, I walked off stage and said to my staff, do you think that'll get any press?
23:48Well, it's hard to switch back to Magnum when that comes up.
23:53Exactly.
23:54Exactly.
23:55So you did over 1,000 shows.
23:57Yes.
23:58This is our ninth.
23:59You're doing great.
24:00You're doing great, Sam.
24:02If we were on in the States, we would be up to, I think, Thursday of the second week.
24:08Exactly.
24:09So you did over 1,000 in many, many years.
24:11Have you got any tips for longevity?
24:13Well, I really think this is the secret of my success.
24:17We had cakes and milk on every seat when the people came in.
24:22Right.
24:23So we got them sugared up.
24:24Okay.
24:25You know what I'm saying?
24:26Cakes and milk.
24:27Little like Drake's cakes.
24:28Do you have those here?
24:29Like little cupcakes.
24:30Okay.
24:31We put on each seat.
24:32And then we gave away free crap.
24:34People love a free T-shirt.
24:36You would be surprised how many people will line up for a free T-shirt.
24:40I don't know why you're clapping.
24:41You're not getting one.
24:43Sam.
24:44That's my advice, though.
24:46Okay.
24:47Wonderful.
24:48I appreciate that.
24:49You know, go for bribery, just like parenting.
24:50You know what I mean?
24:51I've got a few other questions here.
24:52One is, by the way, I think I've had a lot of feedback about the set.
24:55Yeah, yeah.
24:56This is a new set.
24:57Looks good.
24:58Looks good.
24:59No feedback about the desk.
25:00Apparently last year the desk was fine.
25:01This one's fine.
25:02I only ask this because desks were a big part of your tonight show.
25:05About your talk show.
25:06Have a look at this.
25:07Can you explain all these different desks?
25:09Well, there was a woman, we had an audience member do the announce every day and said,
25:14you know, hi, coming up next is Martin Short and so and so and so and so and I'm Anita
25:19from Staten Island.
25:20And so I always, she was great.
25:22Her name was Anya Lasagna.
25:24And I casually said to her, what would you like?
25:27A T-shirt, a Rosie O'Donnell denim jacket.
25:30She said, I want your desk.
25:32And I was like, you want my desk?
25:34And she said, yes.
25:35And I said, give it to her.
25:36And so we gave her the desk and then all these companies started writing in and saying,
25:41could we give you a desk?
25:43And like the pizza, Domino's Pizza and brands and and then they did a horrible thing to me.
25:49They do.
25:50They got Habitrail, the gerbil company, to give me a desk with live gerbils in tubes.
25:58Live.
25:59And one got out during the live show.
26:01And I was so scared.
26:03I ran into the audience and hid behind a kid.
26:06And it was a Make-A-Wish Foundation kid, which didn't bode well for me or my maternal instincts.
26:13But it was scary.
26:15I think you're just lucky that Richard Gere wasn't a guest on that show.
26:18I wanted to ask, which one was your favorite by the way?
26:21Which one was your favorite guest?
26:23Desk.
26:24Or I think that there was Lego desk, which was pretty amazing.
26:28Lego desk.
26:29They made it really fantastically.
26:31And it was a lot of work that they, there you go.
26:34There it is there.
26:35There it is.
26:36With the Lego desk.
26:37Right.
26:38Okay.
26:39Hey, you did your show on your own.
26:40Yes.
26:41You didn't have a guest announcer like I do.
26:42Right.
26:43What did you say to me during the break?
26:44I said, boy, he's great.
26:45Yeah.
26:46I said, I said, when I come back to Australia, and I will because I'm having the greatest
26:59time, I want to be Ray.
27:02Yeah.
27:03I want to be the person.
27:04And I don't want you to announce me.
27:05I want you to have your regular guests.
27:06But you say, and now our celebrity announcer, Rosie O'Donnell.
27:10Rosie O'Donnell.
27:11And I want to do what he does.
27:12Done.
27:13I can do that easily.
27:14I will push it, but.
27:17You can do whatever you want.
27:19But I, this man is a very funny man.
27:20We're very good friends.
27:21And so I just, you're a guest announcer.
27:23So now, by the way, I don't want to, you know, waste you.
27:25So it's time now for the guest announcer question.
27:28Hey.
27:29Wow.
27:30Right.
27:31You ready, Ray?
27:32You ready?
27:33Yeah.
27:34Okay.
27:35Rosie O'Donnell.
27:36Yes.
27:37I'm Ray O'Donnell.
27:38Yes.
27:39I'm Ray O'Leary.
27:41What does the O stand for in your name?
27:44Because in my name it stands for overactive thyroid.
27:47Yeah.
27:48In my name it stands for Oreo.
27:52As many as I can have a day.
27:55Really?
27:56Yeah.
27:57Yeah.
27:58Well done, Ray.
27:59Nailed it again.
28:00That was very good.
28:01You know.
28:02He was calm.
28:03He hit every word.
28:04Rosie, I've got a million more questions, but only so much time.
28:07So I'm going to try something new.
28:09Okay.
28:10Now the internet is full of wild claims about you.
28:12IMDB trivia and Reddit theories gossip.
28:14But you're sitting right here.
28:15So let's separate the fact from the fiction.
28:18Finally somebody's going to do this.
28:20Let's go.
28:21Oh, that's a nice little bumper there.
28:23It is a nice little bumper.
28:24Yes.
28:25I liked it.
28:28I liked it.
28:29I liked it.
28:30All right.
28:31Fact or fiction, Rosie O'Donnell.
28:32You saved the life of a 90-year-old woman in Ireland from choking.
28:35Fact or fiction?
28:36Absolute fact.
28:37What?
28:38I went to a restaurant.
28:42I went to a restaurant and I'm looking at this woman who's about 90 and I'm thinking,
28:46gosh, if my mom had lived, that's what my mom would look like.
28:49And she had two daughters around 60 sitting with her.
28:51And I make up stories about the people.
28:53And all of a sudden I say to my friends, she's choking.
28:55She's choking.
28:56And then the two daughters stand up and the woman's choking and she's turning red.
29:00So I run over to the table and I grab my friend.
29:03I'm like, get behind her.
29:05I stick my finger down her throat.
29:07I try to clear.
29:08You can't clear it.
29:09We're doing the Heimlich.
29:10And then I finally, I grab my friend's hands and I pushed it as hard as I can and out flew
29:15a huge piece of steak.
29:17I had a napkin and I caught it.
29:24I'm shaking, right?
29:26I go, she's crying.
29:27The daughters are crying.
29:28We're exchanging numbers.
29:29I go back to my table.
29:31I can't finish my meal.
29:32I'm crying.
29:33Then the people at the next table are like, oh, Rosie, it was lovely.
29:37I'm like, thank you.
29:39I look over.
29:40She's finishing her steak.
29:42Not a care in the world.
29:44All right.
29:46What about this one?
29:47Fact or fiction.
29:48You did not feature in the Flintstones sequel Viva Rock Vegas because there was a scene
29:52with Barney and Betty where they become swingers and do a couple swap with Fred and Wilma.
29:59Fact or fiction?
30:00Well, a little bit of fact, a little bit of fiction.
30:03The fact is if that had been the storyline, I would have done it.
30:07But the truth is that John didn't want to do it.
30:10John Goodman and Rick.
30:11Oh, really?
30:12They didn't want to do it and I didn't want to do it without them.
30:14I thought it would be strange to have Betty and no one else.
30:17Fair enough.
30:18That would be a different movie.
30:19So that was that.
30:20And Jane Kerkowski was quite funny.
30:21All right.
30:22Couple to finish.
30:23Fact or fiction.
30:24You auditioned for the role of Elaine in Seinfeld.
30:27Fact or fiction?
30:28Fact.
30:30However, every comedian female in New York and in LA auditioned for that part.
30:37Yep.
30:38And so when someone asked me in an interview, I said, oh, it's true.
30:40And then they write, Rosie O'Donnell wanted to take Julia Louise Drive as a job.
30:44I didn't.
30:45I just meant it was a cattle call.
30:47Like every funny comedian from New York, come on in.
30:50And I did, but I never got a call back.
30:52Well, at least you put yourself out there.
30:54I put myself out there.
30:55I put myself out there.
30:56I did my best.
30:57Damn it.
30:58Last one.
30:59Last one, Rosie O'Donnell.
31:00Now, this is interesting considering we all know how you feel about Donald Trump.
31:03Ugh.
31:04You attend, you attended one of his weddings.
31:07Fact or fiction?
31:08Fact.
31:09What?
31:11Let me tell you what happened.
31:12This is before anything, before we had our little feud in 2007.
31:16My friend, Jason Opsall, was my Knicky in Grease on Broadway.
31:21Right before he was my Knicky, he was Marla Maples' leading man in Will Rogers' Follies.
31:27He got an invitation plus one.
31:29He invited me, and I thought, what a kick.
31:31I'll just go and do this.
31:33And, well, I went there with him, and then as he was walking down the aisle at Trump Plaza,
31:38and he had stood her up three times, just so you know, this was the fourth wedding attempt.
31:42So we didn't know if he was going to get back.
31:44He was going to get back.
31:45Wow, right.
31:46He's stealing your moves.
31:47As he was walking down the aisle, he shook hands with every famous person that he saw.
31:53Not me, because I didn't know the guy at all.
31:55But he shook hands with everyone who was there, including Jeffrey Epstein.
32:00Good guy, good guy.
32:03Their buddies.
32:04Good guy.
32:05Oh, that one.
32:08No, no, no, no, no, no.
32:09Okay, good, good.
32:10Different one.
32:11Different one.
32:12Different guy.
32:13They look very similar.
32:14All right.
32:15Just a quick one.
32:16Did you get him a gift?
32:18I did not.
32:19We only stayed for the hors d'oeuvre.
32:22We thought it was funny, and then we left.
32:24And then when he was going off on me in 27, saying, she's ugly, she's gay, she's fat,
32:28she's this, she's disgusting.
32:30And then I just put a little tweet up there.
32:33I was at your wedding.
32:34Rosie, it's been an absolute honour.
32:35Thank you so much.
32:36Come back next time.
32:37Thank you for having me.
32:38I really appreciate it.
32:39Please thank the incredible Rosie O'Donnell.
32:40Thank you so much.
32:41Come back next time.
32:42Thank you for having me.
32:43I really appreciate it.
32:44Please thank the incredible Rosie O'Donnell.
33:00You're watching Sampang tonight with special kids announcer me, Ray Overactive Thyroid Leary.
33:06Nailed it, Ray.
33:13This week, I was offered the opportunity to sit down and have a chat with Joel Kim Booster.
33:18Now, if you don't know who he is, he's one of the stars of Loot, airing October 15 on Apple TV+.
33:24Nicholas?
33:25Nicholas?
33:26Oh, God!
33:27Your calfkin palazzo romper is ruined!
33:32And also our plane crashed.
33:36Help!
33:38It's a really, really funny show.
33:41A warning, though.
33:42There was a lot less lutes in it than I was actually expecting.
33:45A very underrated string instrument, the lute.
33:49Either way, I was still excited to sit down with him.
33:52And look, I'm just letting you know that the interview took place very early in the morning,
33:55but I don't think you'll be able to tell.
33:57We think it was pretty seamless.
34:01God, you're handsome.
34:03Oh, thank you.
34:04You're comfy.
34:05It's 4am here in Australia, Joel.
34:09Wow.
34:10I'm now going to give you the best interview of your life.
34:13I feel bad that you even have to talk to me right now.
34:16Thank you so much.
34:17It's a big thrill.
34:19I'm going to say, Joel Kim Booster, that is a cool name.
34:22Yeah.
34:23It's so funny because I almost dropped the booster when I graduated college.
34:26And can you imagine what my career...
34:29It would be in shambles right now if I didn't have the booster.
34:32Yeah.
34:33Well, it's the three-name theory.
34:34It's just cool.
34:35No.
34:36Something about the three names.
34:37Sarah Jessica Parker.
34:38You know, like there's just a nice ring to it.
34:40Daniel Day-Lewis, John Wayne Gacy.
34:42All the big ones.
34:43All the big ones, Joel.
34:44So, you're promoting Loot on Apple TV all over the world.
34:48You are a handsome gay Asian who was adopted.
34:51Uh-huh.
34:52Wow.
34:53That's a lot of things.
34:54Yes, it is.
34:55And you play Nicholas, who is a handsome gay Asian who was adopted.
34:57How would you describe your range as an actor, Joel?
35:01Um, yeah.
35:02No, listen.
35:03I think that on paper, there's a lot of demographic chess boxes that Nicholas and I align on, certainly.
35:11But I don't think beyond that, there's really that much similarity between the two of us.
35:16I think, A of all, Nicholas has a lot more confidence than I think I do as a person in real life.
35:23There's not an ounce of imposter syndrome in Nicholas's body, and I envy that a lot.
35:28And I don't say, um, I don't think many of the things that Nicholas says, let alone say.
35:33So, um, you know, I think I'm, I think people generally, like, assume I'm exactly like Nicholas
35:41and assume I'm going to be, like, just worse than when I meet them.
35:44And that is, unfortunately, not me.
35:46I'm kind of boring.
35:47I find that very, very hard to believe.
35:49But, um, now, there's some incredible cameos in the show.
35:52Kesha, my favorite, by the way, praying, an anthem for me.
35:55I've got David Chang, Tony Hawk.
35:58What about, in this season, you've got Henry Winkler, the Fonz.
36:01Oh, yeah.
36:02Is there a guest or a cameo that you've had, that you've been starstruck with?
36:06It's tough because, I mean, like, every day it's, like, hard not to be a little starstruck by Maya.
36:11But Henry is probably the biggest, um, like, legend icon that I have worked with that closely.
36:17And he's the nicest guy.
36:19He, like, was not siloed off from the rest of the cast.
36:21Like, he was just down to sit there and tell us every interesting story that he has from 50 to 60 years working in this industry.
36:29And, you know, at one point he got up during our lunch break and called a very famous singer that he did not know just to tell them that he liked their work.
36:38And he appreciated their work.
36:40And it was just that kind of thing is so, what we have all discovered is just so Henry Winkler.
36:45Like, he is so effusive and, um, does not hold back on the compliments.
36:49So, he's such a nice guy.
36:50Has that ever happened to you?
36:51Has someone reached out and contacted you that you've admired and respected and said,
36:55I just wanted to say I really love what you're doing?
36:57You know, I met, um, Amy Sherman Palladino and Dan Palladino, the creators of Gilmore Girls, at the Emmys a couple years ago.
37:04And they had no idea who I was, but they did email me a couple weeks later and tell me that they had watched Fire Island and they really enjoyed it.
37:12And that was really nice of them.
37:14And especially for me because I have seen Gilmore Girls the entire series all the way through a dozen times, maybe more.
37:21Yeah.
37:22And they're hugely inspirational and piece of media for me growing up as, you know, I have a lot to relate to with those girls.
37:30So, you watched the Gilmore Girls and I watched the Golden Girls.
37:33So, that's the, that's the difference between, uh, between you and I.
37:36I don't know if you've seen the Golden Girls recently, but that has aged very well.
37:40Oh, yeah, no.
37:41I still, when I, if I'm in a hotel, baby, TV Land is on and I'm watching the Golden Girls on syndication, the marathon.
37:48I'm telling you, Blanche, Blanche was hot.
37:51I'm just, I just want that out there.
37:53Um, you're a wonderful stand up.
37:54I saw you in Melbourne a couple of years ago.
37:56I thought you were wonderful and just so funny.
37:58I get often confused for other Asian comedians.
38:02Uh, Ronnie Chang, uh, Aaron Chan, um, you know, Penny Wong, Kim Jong Un.
38:07The one that you get mistaken for.
38:10I mean, famously, Bo and Yang all the time.
38:14Um, we've been, we've been friends for over 10 years.
38:18He's like a mega star now.
38:20And it's still not enough.
38:22People still come up to me and say that they love me in SNL.
38:25They ask me all the time if I ever get that I look like the guy from SNL.
38:29Um, you know, and even the press, I mean, the Hollywood reporter, uh, sort of infamously used my photo for the announcement of Boeing getting cast in SNL.
38:40So it just, it happens from the top down and it is crazy.
38:44Joel, I have to confess.
38:45I am a little bit starstruck talking to one of the stars of the global hit, uh, K-pop Demon Hunters.
38:51How amazing has it been for you to be a part of that?
38:54And also were you a little bit devastated when you didn't land one of the singing roles?
38:58Um, I mean, well, they did have a sing for the audition.
39:01So I was a little bit like, what gives?
39:03Why didn't, was I not good enough?
39:05But no, it's been incredible.
39:06It's like, it's such a huge honor to even be like a small little part and fabric of that movie.
39:12I mean, I don't think anybody thought that it was going to become the global phenomenon that it is.
39:17And so I'm, I'm so glad it did.
39:19Um, and I'd like to point out for posterity sake that my character does not die on screen.
39:25So there's a sequel.
39:28You're in it.
39:29Well, the Saja boys need a new lead singer.

39:33Exactly.
39:34And why not Roman?
39:35Why not Roman?
39:36Joel can burst off.
39:37I'll finish with this.
39:38Thank you so much for your time.
39:39I really appreciate it.
39:40I it's a bit of a delicate topic with the, the current global conflict, but I really need
39:45to get your opinion on it.
39:48Keith Urban or Nicole Kidman?
39:51Where do you stand?

39:54Nicole Kidman all day.
39:56What a question.
39:57You're pissing me off now.
39:59Get this guy off his phone.
40:00Look at these questions he's asking me.
40:02I'm kidding.
40:03That's how I'm used to conversations finishing anyway, Joel.
40:07So that's perfect.
40:09Uh, mate, thank you so much for your time.

40:16That was a great chat, Sam.
40:24Sorry, say that again?
40:26That was a great chat, Sam.
40:27That's very nice of you to say.
40:28Why, why, why are you eating cereal?
40:31It's 4am somewhere.
40:32Back with more in a moment with a brand new segment.
40:38Now, as you'll notice in my opening monologue,
40:53it's impossible to cover all the news of the week.
40:56But the only problem is reading out the news is quite boring.
40:59So I made an executive decision that it would be more entertaining
41:03to hear the stories in song, which inspired this new segment.
41:07Please welcome entertainer, Oliver Clark, live from the News Lounge.
41:15Thank you, Sam.
41:18Wow, I gotta tell you, it is so good to be here doing the lounge news.
41:27It incorporates two things that I just simply adore.
41:30Singing and journalism.
41:32And what an opportunity to mix them together.
41:35First news story, straight up top.
