00:00To talk to you. This is lovely
00:03Hello, how are you? I'm good. Okay. I love what you're wearing. Thank you. I love what you're wearing. No,
00:08have it. Shall we swap?
00:10Let's swap at the end of the night. It's all yours. Okay. I mean it
00:34Hello and welcome to the show. Thank you so much for joining us. I've just met a woman who has
00:47eight pet cats. One is called Malcolm. We have a lovely audience. Thank you very much. A lovely audience and
00:55some truly excellent guests are joining us on the sofa. So let us begin.
01:00One of the country's finest comics. He's back with a new series of Last One Laughing. It's Jimmy Carr!
01:18One battle after another and is here to tell us about her new series The Testaments. It's Chase Infinity!
01:34We know him from the fall and the Oscar-winning Belfast. It's this week's host of Saturday Night Live UK.
01:41It's Jamie Dornan!
01:52And she is the star of Friends and is here as actor, writer and producer of her show The Comeback.
01:58It's Lisa Kudrow!
02:10Thank you so much. Have a seat. I know we have to be casual about it and cool, but Lisa
02:19Kudrow.
02:25Thank you all so much for coming because many of you have quite bad jet lag. I mean, Jimmy, you
02:32got in from Australia literally this morning.
02:34Well, I flew from Australia but via Los Angeles. Oh!
02:38So, it was... I went... I'm basically trying to prove Flat Earthers wrong.
02:43LAUGHTER
02:44How do you deal with it? What's the answer? Lisa, what's your...? Do you have an answer? You get on
02:49the plane...
02:50Drugs.
02:52LAUGHTER
02:53But weren't you supposed to eat? I can't travel anywhere. I can't go to Manchester, I get jet lag. I've
02:58never...
02:58Yeah. It's true. I've never moved.
03:00I don't think you're supposed to eat. I think you're not supposed to eat.
03:04You know when to eat on the plane, right? Right.
03:06I don't eat plain food. You don't?
03:08I do if I'm hungry.
03:11LAUGHTER
03:12That's how food works.
03:15LAUGHTER
03:16Is it true, I read once that you love meat.
03:20I always... No, I always travel with, like, biltong. It's, like, a cured sort of...
03:25Beef?
03:25Dead animals, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:27And when you say, like, do you take a slither or are you taking a bath?
03:30I take, like, a big bag, just to get me through, yeah.
03:34A big, sort of, fatty bag of, sort of, old meat.
03:39LAUGHTER
03:39And fatty?
03:40Well, you can ask for it many different ways, but I ask for the wettest, fattiest stuff.
03:44What's happening?
03:45You can get, like, pre-packaged stuff in supermarkets, it's terrible.
03:48I feel like I need a visual of it.
03:49I don't know what it looks like.
03:50I go to, like, a South Africa...
03:53..store? Like, a South Africa themed store.
03:55But does the meat...
03:57Is it odiferous?
03:58Like, does it smell?
03:59Really bad?
04:00I don't think it smells bad, but I think other people might think it smells bad.
04:05I don't know.
04:05Just curious.
04:06You know.
04:07It smells good?
04:08Are you a meat eater?
04:10I love meat, yeah.
04:11Listen, I'll bring you to this South Africa themed shop.
04:15OK.
04:15This is the worst episode of first dates ever.
04:18Oh!
04:20Um, Chase Infinity.
04:22The best name on the sofa.
04:23Yeah.
04:23The best name I think I've ever heard.
04:26Um, your parents are very clever.
04:28How did they put it together?
04:29And I'm so sorry if you're bored of answering this question.
04:31No, I will answer it as many times because I love the story of my parents coming up with my
04:37name.
04:37But pretty much both movies came out in 1995, which was, I believe, the year that my parents got married.
04:43But, um, they, they had watched Batman Forever and Nicole Kidman played a character named Chase Meridian.
04:48And they were like, regardless of anything, her name is going to be Chase because they were obsessed with Nicole
04:53Kidman in, in that movie.
04:55And then Infinity comes from, uh, Toy Story to Infinity and beyond.
04:58And I've just gone by Chase Infinity since I was ten.
05:01So, that's, that's how.
05:02They sort of decided what you were going to do before they even met.
05:06Kind of crazy.
05:07Literally crazy how that happened.
05:08But yeah.
05:09I love it.
05:10And what's your sister called?
05:11Her name is Dolce.
05:12And she's into fashion.
05:14She went to school for...
05:16Is that all you have to do with your kids?
05:18Yeah.
05:19My parents kind of were like, wait a minute.
05:21Hold on a second.
05:22Movies, fashion, this is where we're going.
05:24I wish I'd known.
05:26Yeah, I know.
05:26I would have given my kids different names.
05:29Um, I don't want anyone to panic, because we will talk about Friends, because I know you three are obsessed.
05:35But first of all, can we, uh, talk about The Comeback, please?
05:39Yes.
05:39Yes.
05:40It's the best.
05:44Because...
05:45You know it?
05:46Oh, my God, it's like...
05:47He knows the show.
05:48Also, you said, uh, The Comeback is the greatest show of all time.
05:51And you're not wrong.
05:52I think it might be honestly.
05:52Oh.
05:53And Friends is second.
05:54OK.
05:55I'll go to the meat shop with you.
05:56This is mad.
05:59I'll go where everyone...
06:00Now it sounds rude.
06:00LAUGHTER
06:02Um, but before Friends, before Phoebe was created, you had this idea, right?
06:09You were...
06:10Oh.
06:10There was a character that you created you couldn't let go.
06:13At the Groundlings, which is a sketch comedy improv theatre company, and I wrote a character monologue called Your
06:21Favourite Actress on a talk show, and she had a short red wig, and she was really phony, and I
06:27just, you know, it was funny.
06:29I won't do the whole thing for you.
06:31Um...
06:32We're on a talk show.
06:34This feels like the perfect time.
06:36LAUGHTER
06:36To do something funny.
06:38Yeah.
06:38No, it's not the right place.
06:40No, but I...
06:41I mean, I do remember one...
06:43LAUGHTER
06:46But I do remember one sort of thing. She was just so phony that she would say, you know, like
06:51actors who can be really self-important.
06:53And she just said, um, no, you know, it's funny, because what's really important to me now is, um, you
06:59know, the planet...
07:01LAUGHTER
07:02We need to save the planet, everybody, OK? Please, please, as a favour to me.
07:08LAUGHTER
07:09I'll love you for it, I will.
07:11You know, so that was my funny thing.
07:14LAUGHTER
07:15It certainly was.
07:17Pretty funny.
07:18Pretty damn funny.
07:21You were so advanced.
07:24You were miles ahead of everybody else doing a mockumentary or a fly in the wall, however you would describe
07:31it.
07:31Of reality shows.
07:32Of reality shows.
07:32Yeah.
07:33And then you made it, and it then had a cult following, but lots of people were like, what?
07:36Yeah, what's happening?
07:37What are these cameras moving around that I hate?
07:40You know, and, um, yeah, there were no housewives of anywhere yet.
07:45Well...
07:45We're gonna have a clip.
07:46This is from series three.
07:47This is just as Valerie gets offered a big job.
07:51Yeah.
07:51Have a look.
07:52And they are offering Valerie Cherish...
07:54Uh-huh.
07:55...and please note that I said offer, not audition...
07:58Noted.
07:59Yeah.
08:00...a starring role in their new multi-camera comedy.
08:03Wow.
08:04Right.
08:06Thrilling.
08:06I could cry.
08:08Um...
08:08In a multi-cam.
08:09So sitcoms are making a comeback.
08:11Yeah.
08:12Knew they would.
08:13You know, people need a laugh.
08:15Now more than ever.
08:17Yeah.
08:18Oh.
08:20Okay.
08:21What's it about?
08:22I don't know.
08:23Oh, okay.
08:24What's the part?
08:25I don't know.
08:26Well, what do you know?
08:29Well, I know that you're not gonna have to deal with any asshole writers.
08:33It's being written by AI.
08:37Uh-huh.
08:38Now, is that allowed?
08:48It's so fantastic.
08:50Was there a little bit of you?
08:52Or was it slightly inspired by The Office at all?
08:55Oh, I loved The Office.
08:57Yeah.
08:57Yeah, yeah.
08:58And when I saw these reality shows, I went, oh, gotta do this.
09:04Because I have a lovely fact.
09:06Is it true, Jimmy, that you took Ricky and Steven on a tour of Slough?
09:12You said, do it here.
09:14Yeah, I took them on a tour of Slough, yeah.
09:17Because when they were writing that, we were all hanging out.
09:19We did like our first Edinburgh Fringe together.
09:22Yes.
09:23Me and Ricky and Steve.
09:23And then we, yeah, they wanted to know...
09:27Because Reading wasn't quite shit enough.
09:31But Slough, which is where I'm from, is, it's legit shit.
09:37And then, and then I, and if anyone's watching this in Slough, stand by that.
09:43And I kind of, I took them round and then, and then was just explaining, oh yeah, there was, this
09:47was where the nightclub was.
09:49And then told them that the nightclub was called Henry's.
09:52It was a Henry VIII themed nightclub.
09:56I mean, yeah, sort of writes itself, doesn't it?
09:59Yeah.
09:59Oh my God.
10:00Also in the comeback, and this is weird that I say that because I'm part of the UK version, your
10:06character Valerie takes part in Traitors.
10:08Uh-huh.
10:09And, I know.
10:12And, and Valerie's stint on Traitors was inspired a little bit by somebody on the UK Traitors.
10:19Yes, it was.
10:21On Linda.
10:22Linda.
10:22Oh.
10:29Because, for those who haven't seen, and they, I'll just explain, Linda was the person who, and I said Traitors
10:37will meet each other later, and looked at me and nodded.
10:41And there was a bit of Linda in it, wasn't there?
10:43A bit?
10:44Yeah.
10:44Oh my God.
10:46Yeah, we had Valerie, someone saying like, well, I think he's a Traitor, and she's, oh no, I can tell
10:51you 100% he's a faithful.
10:54How do you know?
10:55Just, I have a, I have a feeling, I mean, you know, I don't, don't you wish we knew who
11:00the Traitor was?
11:01I knew.
11:02Something so stressful, yeah.
11:04I love the fact that it's based on Linda, and I think it's only right that you meet her.
11:08But, oh yes!
11:09Linda!
11:11No way.
11:30I love seeing you. I just somehow wanted Linda and Lisa together, even just for a minute.
11:38But, Linda, in your wildest dreams, when that happened, and you looked at me and went, got it!
11:45Did you ever think that then, the mighty Lisa Kudrow would use you as inspiration in her amazing show?
11:53No!
11:56Crazy!
11:57Absolutely!
11:58On our show?
11:59She was voted out, like, that night.
12:02Oh, yeah.
12:02Oh, yeah.
12:03No, at least I made it.
12:04What was wrong with your group?
12:05To seven.
12:06Yes!
12:06To episode seven.
12:07They took a very long time.
12:09They took a very long time.
12:11Because you're very charming.
12:12Ladies and gentlemen, Linda.
12:14Thank you, darling.
12:16Thank you, darling.
12:18Thank you, darling.
12:19Thank you, darling.
12:20Oh!
12:20Oh!
12:23Oh!
12:24Oh, my God!
12:25That was thrilling!
12:27That was thrilling.
12:28What?
12:29We're all still alive, though, yeah?
12:32Yes, we are.
12:33I just, I just, I couldn't help it.
12:35When I watched, I was like, oh, hold on a minute.
12:38Yeah.
12:39I know, but they didn't vote her out.
12:41Sorry, none of them are here, so I can say, not bright.
12:44No.
12:44I got you.
12:45Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
12:48She basically held up a sign.
12:51Yeah.
12:51Like you said, so traitors.
12:53That's me.
12:53Yeah.
12:54I'm right here, nodded.
12:57We absolutely love the comeback.
12:59It's on HBO Max with new episodes airing weekly.
13:04Yeah.
13:05Jamie, we're going to talk about SNL, but first of all,
13:08slightly friends-related, everything is friends-related.
13:10Let's talk about flat shares, because didn't you share a flat
13:14with Eddie Redmayne?
13:16I did, yeah, yeah, yeah, a long, long time ago.
13:18That's Eddie there, yeah.
13:19Oh.
13:21Conveniently on the TV.
13:22Yeah.
13:23He'd prefer if you used a picture he's holding his Academy Award.
13:26Oh!
13:27I get that.
13:28Um, what was he like as a flatmate, or what are you like?
13:31I'm a real, like, OCD, neat, freaky person, and so is Eddie.
13:35I mean, Eddie, it's not like we shared a flat and then happens,
13:38like, he's one of my best mates still.
13:40Oh, right.
13:40This is, like, 20, 18 years ago, I think, in L.A.
13:43Uh, no, we were really, um, tidy for, like, you know,
13:47a couple of guys sharing a house together in Laurel Canyon.
13:50Uh, Chase, you live with your best friend from college, I think.
13:53I do, I do.
13:53And how is that?
13:55Because it must be lovely when you're, you know, Oscars,
13:58all of this, like, busy, and then you go back.
14:00Is it lovely to live with her?
14:02Well, it is, but I haven't been home, like, in probably, I don't know, six months.
14:08Oh.
14:09So I go home for, like, maybe three days at a time.
14:11And I'm like, hey, change my luggage.
14:13And I'm like, okay, bye.
14:14Thank you for being here.
14:16I love you very much.
14:17But, yeah, but it is nice and, like, getting to go home and kind of ground myself
14:21and then she's my best friend in the entire world and I love her very much, so.
14:27And she gets her own apartment.
14:29She does.
14:29She gets a completely empty apartment.
14:32Yeah, sublet.
14:33Why is there someone in my room?
14:35Um, Jimmy, talk to me about, what's it like sharing, have you...
14:39I used to live with a couple, yeah.
14:41And?
14:42Well, then my mum and dad.
14:46Um, Lisa, didn't you meet your husband through your flatmate?
14:50Yes.
14:50I was living with a French woman, Isabelle, and he had just moved to the US
14:56and was told to look up this French girl and so he came to take her out
15:00and I just went, no.
15:01He's for me.
15:03This isn't gonna work.
15:04And now, oh, my God.
15:06Is that French lady still in your life?
15:09Yeah.
15:10Mm-hmm.
15:10Yeah, no, then we met again six years later at her party.
15:13And started dating.
15:15Oh, cool.
15:15Yeah.
15:16And everyone said, Lisa, no.
15:18Not him.
15:19One French guy, really thick accent.
15:21He said, Lisa, Michel, he's a butterfly.
15:26He goes from flower to flower.
15:30And you were like, I'm the best flower he's ever gonna make.
15:33No.
15:33No.
15:34I said, yeah, it doesn't matter.
15:35This is a rebound thing for me.
15:39Been together ever since?
15:4030 years.
15:41Yeah.
15:41Yeah.
15:42Congratulations.
15:47I believe there is somebody here who's got the worst flatmate story.
15:52David?
15:53Yeah.
15:53Hi, David.
15:54Tell me about the flatmate.
15:55Yeah.
15:55I was an entertainer, a red coat on holiday parks.
15:58And I was told I was gonna share a very small caravan with a guy that was on the entertainment
16:03team.
16:03But he just never stopped.
16:06And he would be telling jokes.
16:08And we wouldn't finish till 1am rehearsing shows.
16:11And then you'd just fall asleep and you'd hear some horrible noise.
16:15And he was on a unicycle.
16:17He was practicing.
16:18I'm not kidding.
16:19And he wasn't very good.
16:20He'd be banging on the walls.
16:22Honestly.
16:22And then you'd go and work.
16:23And then you'd come back and he'd get his jumper out.
16:26And he loved cooking fish.
16:29Well, I enjoyed our time together.
16:39Very much his side of the story.
16:44And you're good at the unicycle.
16:46I would have been good if someone had let me practice.
16:50Thank you very much, David.
16:52So, Jamie, let's talk about SNL UK.
16:55Sure.
16:58You host tomorrow night.
17:00How are the nerves?
17:02Or should I not be asking that?
17:03Or are you feeling fine?
17:05I go through phases of feeling fine and feeling comfortable.
17:07The team are unbelievable.
17:09Like, I feel incredible support.
17:10You know, they're a very funny bunch.
17:13You know, I just feel immense support.
17:15And, like, gratitude that I get to do it.
17:17It's a proper honour, you know.
17:19Yeah.
17:19It's a huge honour.
17:20Let's have a look at a clip this was from Saturday night.
17:23I'm just here as a long-time SNL employee to help out
17:28and to answer, like, any questions anyone might have of what to...
17:33Oh, hi!
17:33Yeah, Nicola Coughlin.
17:38Right.
17:39It is lovely to see you.
17:41But my question is, if this is SNL UK,
17:44then why are you the first host?
17:47Like, shouldn't it be, like, a British icon, like David Beckham
17:50or Judi Dench or, like, Shrek?
17:52Well, that is a valid question.
17:54Why an American host?
17:55And the way it was explained to me was that, for this first episode,
18:00anyway, how do I put this politely, none of you fuckers would do it?
18:05LAUGHTER
18:07Yeah.
18:09Too short.
18:09Too short.
18:11Um...
18:12Tina Fey is amazing.
18:14Has she helped in any way with you?
18:17Yeah, well, I guess I'm the fucker who's doing it, which is...
18:20..important to note.
18:22Yeah, Tina and I have done a movie together, so, you know, I know her
18:25and she's incredibly supportive, she's been around all this week.
18:29I mean, look, it's so iconic, you know, even from the, you know,
18:32the early days of Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase and Bill Murray
18:35and people...
18:36..friends of mine who I've worked with since, like Kristen Wiig,
18:38you know, it's...
18:39..it's just incredible, but even in the sort of...
18:41..that sort of company or in those conversations, so...
18:43Yeah.
18:44Um, Lisa, you hosted, didn't you?
18:46Yeah.
18:46How was it?
18:47I don't know.
18:49LAUGHTER
18:50Blanked it out?
18:50Yes.
18:51Was it, was it terrifying?
18:53Terrifying?
18:54Too late to pull out.
18:56LAUGHTER
18:56I've been making jokes about that with them all week.
18:59LAUGHTER
18:59No!
19:00Saying things like I might be there, I plan to be there,
19:02but I might not be there, and...
19:05What day's it on again?
19:06Yeah, exactly.
19:07LAUGHTER
19:07You're going to be utterly brilliant.
19:10Have they asked you to sing?
19:12Uh, no, but I will sing, yeah.
19:15LAUGHTER
19:16They haven't asked me, no, but it's live.
19:17I can do what the fuck I want.
19:18You can do whatever you want.
19:20There he is!
19:21APPLAUSE
19:21Yeah, I do.
19:25I love the story when you went, I believe, for a singing audition
19:29and you decided to deal with your voice in a certain way.
19:33Yeah, I did.
19:33I was first up, it was out in L.A.
19:36Around the time I was probably living with Eddie,
19:38and there was a movie called Rock of Ages,
19:41I think, like, Tom Cruise was in it.
19:43And, uh...
19:44You had to sing.
19:45Like, I can sing as much as any other sort of...
19:49douchey actor guy.
19:50But, like, I'm not, like, a great singer, but I can sing a bit.
19:53And I was first up, it was, like, 10am in the morning,
19:57which in those days, like, pre-kids was, like, an early kick-off.
20:00Yeah.
20:01And, um, I thought, I'm not really good enough to be in this room,
20:05so I thought, right, well, what I'll do is I'll drink whisky.
20:10Um, so I bought myself a little quarter bottle of, like, Jameson.
20:14Big up Ireland.
20:16LAUGHTER
20:17And, uh, because it was so early in the morning,
20:19I hadn't had breakfast or anything,
20:20I sort of got up, brushed my teeth, had a shower,
20:22and, uh, I arrived and I sort of opened the door of the car
20:26and I sort of saw the whisky in the car door.
20:28And it was the first thing that passed my mouth apart from Toothpaste,
20:31so I, as soon as I drank it...
20:33..and I puked.
20:35LAUGHTER
20:36Like, really violently puked.
20:38Um, like, sort of down my front.
20:40No.
20:41All down thing.
20:42I didn't have, like, mouthwash.
20:43So I then walked into this audition with puke
20:47down my front, smelling of whisky.
20:50LAUGHTER
20:50And vomit.
20:51And then had to...
20:52You could change.
20:53Honestly, it was so bad.
20:54And then I had to...
20:56Honestly, like, the most comedy small room you've ever been.
20:59There was, like, seven people in this tiny room.
21:01Oh, no.
21:01And I stink.
21:02And I had to sing the song that I can't sing.
21:05And I couldn't sing it, I really couldn't sing it,
21:07but directors just kept going,
21:09Ah, no, no, let's go and get it, let's do it.
21:10Are you...
21:10You want to do it one more time?
21:12Honestly, no, I don't.
21:13LAUGHTER
21:14But I can't keep going.
21:15This is a living nightmare.
21:17Um, and I kept...
21:18I think I did it three times and then that was it
21:20and I never heard from them.
21:23LAUGHTER
21:24Well, you're going to be great on Saturday.
21:27Jimmy, you are magnificent.
21:29Do you have advice for a monologue?
21:32Or what's the key?
21:33You know, you don't have to take my advice,
21:35but I've done a lot of comedy,
21:37I've done a lot of kind of jokes on stage.
21:39I would buy a quarter bottle of Jameson.
21:42LAUGHTER
21:45APPLAUSE
21:47Right before...
21:50When you're watching TV, you can't smell.
21:52That's a good point.
21:53That's a good point, yeah.
21:54I think that's what Tina Fey does.
21:55Yeah, definitely, yeah, definitely, yeah.
21:57I got a sniff of her, it was...
21:59LAUGHTER
21:59LAUGHTER
22:00I didn't...
22:01LAUGHTER
22:02OK.
22:04You're hosting Saturday Night Live tomorrow night, Sky One, 10pm.
22:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
22:26I had to phone and beg.
22:27It's after The Handmaid's Tale.
22:29Yeah.
22:30It's the sequel, it's five years later.
22:32It's about, like, three to four years later,
22:34after the final season of The Handmaid's Tale, yeah.
22:36I like that already people are like...
22:38LAUGHTER
22:39It's nice and dark and meaty.
22:42Yeah, I saw The Handmaid's Tale.
22:43It wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be.
22:45LAUGHTER
22:46Erm, let's have a taste, if you will, of The Testament.
22:50I believed in this world once.
22:52It's easier to accept a story
22:54than believe that the people around you are monsters.
22:57We gather here tonight
22:59to bring women back to their rightful place.
23:03Blessed be the fruit.
23:10It was time for us to change things.
23:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
23:14I'm so proud of you.
23:16Have you met too much of it?
23:17No, I have, but, like, you know when you just don't realise,
23:20you're like, oh, my God, that's, like, that's something that I made
23:22and it's really cool getting to see it.
23:24Yeah, yeah.
23:25It is unbelievable.
23:27Tell people a bit about the premise and who you play.
23:30OK, so I play a character named Agnes Mackenzie
23:33and it's kind of a coming-of-age story in Gilead.
23:35So The Handmaid's Tale was told from the perspective of a handmaid,
23:39but this follows a group of girls
23:41who are the daughters of high-ranking commanders.
23:43So you're kind of seeing the nobility, in a sense, going to school
23:46and training to become wives in Gilead.
23:50So you're kind of having that new perspective around a 14-year-old girl.
23:54So...
23:54And it's Margaret Atwood.
23:56And it's quite dark.
23:58A lot of it is really dark.
23:59How do you come out of that, if that's not a weird question?
24:04It's not a weird question.
24:05But, like, I feel very grateful
24:06because our entire cast and crew was so, so sweet,
24:10where you felt very supported the entire time.
24:12So even if you had an unexpectedly difficult day
24:15with the material on set, you felt...
24:17you felt like you were, um...
24:20you were cared for in a way.
24:21And I really am...
24:22I owe a lot of my hard days to my entire cast and crew
24:25because we really had each other on those dark moments.
24:29I mean, Jamie, you played a real baddie.
24:32I have, yeah.
24:32In the fall.
24:34How did you do that and then go,
24:36yeah, I'm going to make some pasta now, or however it works?
24:39I just honestly think you need, like, levity in those moments,
24:43because it's just not a healthy place to keep your head.
24:45I talk about, like, crisps or something.
24:49I'll say, like, I could talk about crisps all day.
24:52So could I.
24:53I honestly do think, take after take,
24:56coming at it totally fresh is a better energy, I personally find.
25:01And we've been talking about hula hoops for five minutes.
25:04Beef, obviously.
25:05Obviously beef.
25:07Obviously.
25:07Just have to say that out loud.
25:09Yeah.
25:09We usually have about 48 packets at any point in my house.
25:13Yeah, same as me.
25:14Do you?
25:15I'm just, and then we'll go back.
25:17I promise.
25:18Don't panic.
25:18Chase's agent is like, get her out of there.
25:21Have you tried the large hoop?
25:24Not, not a big fan of it.
25:26Yeah.
25:26Too much, too much.
25:28No.
25:28Never.
25:29What's happened?
25:30I just, I don't know where Margaret Atwood stands on the hula hoop,
25:36but we were, we were on that, so maybe just...
25:41Get back in?
25:42Just a, just a modicum of professionalism.
25:44I'm so sorry.
25:46I'm so sorry.
25:46He said crisps, I went with it.
25:49Um, the hula hoops, the toy?
25:51Oh, no, no.
25:52No, the crisps.
25:53The chip.
25:53I don't know what you're talking about.
25:54Yeah, fine.
25:55I'm sorry.
25:56We'll move on.
25:57So, The Testaments is available on Disney Plus from April the 8th.
26:02Yay!
26:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
26:06OK, now, we have to talk about one battle.
26:09What a film.
26:10Thanks.
26:11What a film.
26:15And you in that film, and it just won all of those Oscars.
26:19When you went for the audition, they asked you to get quite close to Leonardo DiCaprio, didn't they?
26:25Yeah, I know exactly where this is going.
26:29Yes, yes, definitely.
26:30My first camera test that I had, I was asked to shave his face.
26:35Um, and I didn't know what I was doing.
26:38And I was shaking the entire time, because it was with an electric razor.
26:41And I was like, I don't know what I'm doing.
26:43This is Leonardo DiCaprio.
26:45It's a famous face.
26:46Yeah.
26:47As faces go.
26:49I was literally like, I don't know what I'm doing, I'm so sorry.
26:53And tell me about the Oscars.
26:55I mean, because it's your first one.
26:57Yeah.
26:58And you go, you win everything, you look beautiful.
27:02Did you have fun?
27:03It was the coolest experience ever.
27:05And it felt even more special getting to be there with everyone from one battle.
27:10And we had so much love in the room.
27:13And it, like, it's a night I will never forget.
27:15And getting to also be a part of presenting the first award in casting was also so special.
27:21And then our casting director won.
27:23And I could not stop jumping on the stage.
27:25And I was like, I'm sorry, I can't contain my excitement right now.
27:28But...
27:29You were presenting it, and the person that cast your movie won.
27:32Well, she...
27:32Because you could have said anything.
27:34Well, I mean, it just feels like...
27:36Well, I didn't read it.
27:37Gwyneth Paltrow read it.
27:38It wasn't me.
27:39Yeah, but you've just seen her backstage and gone, Gwyneth.
27:41I know, there wasn't the seal like there normally was.
27:44It was kind of just a magnetic thing.
27:46And I was like...
27:46Was it in your handwriting?
27:48It was...
27:49No one did see it, so it could have been.
27:52Um, and how were the parties?
27:55Where did you...
27:55Which house did you go to first?
27:57Oh, at that point, were you like, I'm going night-night?
28:00I went to five parties that...
28:05Because it was my first Oscars, OK?
28:06I had to go to all of them that I could.
28:08Of course.
28:08Of course.
28:09Of course.
28:10But, um, I tried to go to as many as I possibly could.
28:14Absolutely.
28:15Award shows, where do you stay?
28:16I mean, you've hosted a lot, Jimmy.
28:18Yeah, but I mean, the National Plumbers Awards...
28:21In Telford, it's not the same thing.
28:23There are not five after-parties.
28:26How many were there?
28:27Three?
28:27It's like, yeah.
28:29Well, you know, I hosted a lot of corporate awards.
28:32It's a different thing.
28:33It's fun though, right?
28:34It's an honour, a privilege, and a massive check to be here.
28:39I also went...
28:40I met Nicole Kidman at the Oscars, which was crazy.
28:43No.
28:43Because I'm named after her, and I was like,
28:44I'm named after you!
28:46So that was really special too.
28:48And did she love it?
28:49Was she adorable?
28:50Or did she say, stop touching me?
28:53She couldn't have been kinder.
28:55Like, truthfully, was so, so sweet.
28:57And afterwards, I texted my parents.
28:58I was like, I just met the woman I'm named after.
29:00That's so cool.
29:01Oh, that is.
29:02But that is.
29:03It is.
29:04It is.
29:04Lisa.
29:05Friends won 79 major awards.
29:10Did that really?
29:13Yeah.
29:14And do you know what?
29:15I love Lisa.
29:17Because you're all nervous.
29:18Lots of people don't like talking about, like, don't like harking back.
29:22So we were like, well, maybe we shouldn't talk about friends.
29:25But you like talking about it.
29:26You don't mind.
29:27No, I don't mind.
29:28Why would I mind?
29:29But I'm just grateful.
29:30Because I'm a wonderful person.
29:33No, but honestly.
29:41I get it.
29:42Yeah, I'm proud of it.
29:43You should be.
29:45Um, Chase, you watch it, don't you?
29:47Of course I do.
29:48I remember watching it in high school.
29:50Oh.
29:52Awkward pause.
29:53Just like, I feel very exposed after that pause.
29:56Because we're wondering, you mean last week?
30:00So you just started watching it.
30:03Look, I love the fact that you, you said, I know the song off by heart.
30:07And I thought it was going to be the one about the cat.
30:10Oh, no.
30:10It wasn't.
30:11The first thing I said was, P is in Phoebe, H is in Hebe, E is in E.
30:16I, like, went through the whole thing on the car.
30:19At least, didn't they search your car sometimes?
30:23Every week.
30:25After we would shoot a show, security would not let me out
30:29without looking in my trunk to see if I took something.
30:33Did they do that to every car?
30:35No.
30:36Just me.
30:37Why?
30:38I don't know.
30:40You can tell us.
30:41Was it because you stole someone's French boyfriend?
30:45That one time.
30:47Yeah.
30:47Well, is it because you took something?
30:50No, I absolutely did not take something.
30:52Did I?
30:53Do you know something?
30:54At the end, I did.
30:57You got me.
30:58I did at the end.
31:00After the ten years, I did.
31:02I took the rings.
31:02I took Phoebe's rings.
31:04Is that, is that, because out of everything, because I think, you've got to take something.
31:09No, you weren't really allowed.
31:11But Matthew Perry asked permission and he gave me the cookie jar that was on Monica's refrigerator.
31:18Oh.
31:19Well, yes.
31:20It is nice.
31:21Yeah.
31:22It's really sweet.
31:23Your character specifically had such reach, such impact, you don't need me to tell you how much.
31:30But, just to illuminate to our audience, if you are called Phoebe, please stand up.
31:39What?
31:50Thank you very much.
31:52Thank you very much.
31:54I hope, I hope Nicole Kidman's watching this.
31:59You've got one.
32:02Wow.
32:03Thank you so much, Lisa.
32:08OK.
32:10Jimmy, the time has come to talk about your show, which is...
32:13I feel like I've won a competition to be here.
32:15I'm quite happy not.
32:17We're going to talk about it.
32:18Honestly, this is lovely.
32:19Last one laughing.
32:20It was the biggest hit of last year and it is...
32:23Was it?
32:23Or was it The Traitors?
32:25No.
32:27No, it wasn't.
32:29No, it wasn't.
32:29I thought your show was the biggest hit.
32:31No, it wasn't.
32:33The premise was bigger.
32:34No, we can arm wrestle.
32:35I'm obsessed by your show.
32:37Let's discuss it.
32:39Before we have a clip, tell everybody the premise.
32:42So the premise is, we get ten comedians, they're all very funny, they go into a house and they're allowed
32:47to try and make each other laugh and they're not allowed to laugh.
32:50It's...
32:51It's that.
32:52It's that simple.
32:53And somehow it works.
32:55It's a perfect line-up.
32:57Before they come in, you know them all really well.
33:00Do you say to Roisin, do you say to anybody going, this person's going to smash it?
33:05And do people surprise you?
33:07Yeah, I was very...
33:08I was surprised people did...
33:09People take it so seriously and everyone gets weirdly competitive about, well, no, we're
33:14here, we might as well win it.
33:15Yeah.
33:16And then you're performing.
33:17These guys are doing bits on stage and they're giving it their all to be funny.
33:22And just 11 people are just...
33:25Mmm.
33:27Stony-faced.
33:28Mmm.
33:29Just nothing.
33:29It's killing them inside.
33:31Can we have a clip?
33:32This is David Mitchell's Joker, which gone.
33:35Before we show it.
33:36I mean, this is...
33:37So David Mitchell is like...
33:38I mean, he's a wonderfully funny comedic actor, but also like a serious actor.
33:42Yeah.
33:42He's a serious guy.
33:43I mean, he writes columns in the papers.
33:45He's a dear friend.
33:46He's quite the talent.
33:47This blew my mind.
33:49I mean, maybe this is how you were thinking of David Mitchell.
33:52This is not how I see him.
33:54At all.
33:55This is David Mitchell's Joker.
33:57You've read it in a folio or seen it in a Shakespeare play.
34:01How Juliet fell for Romeo in the merry month of May.
34:06And as he climbed the orchard wall to reach his lady fair.
34:10As he stumbled, she began to bawl.
34:13As he travelled through the air.
34:16Oh dear!
34:17Flash bang wallop!
34:18What a picture!
34:19What a picture!
34:19What a photograph!
34:21Poor young chap!
34:22What a nice bend!
34:23Tights all torn and his rabia bent.
34:25Clap hands.
34:26Stab your feet.
34:27Bang on the big face drum.
34:29What a picture!
34:31What a picture!
34:31Um tiddly um pum pum pum pum pum.
34:33Come to see it in your family.
34:35Oh bum!
34:37He's amazing.
34:40He's amazing.
34:42I mean, he's amazing.
34:44Talking through the psychology of that, which you touched on before,
34:48is these are the funniest people in the land.
34:52And nobody's lot.
34:54Everyone's like that.
34:55And they come out.
34:57David does something like that.
34:58There are others.
35:00People just go, yeah, well done.
35:01What is that?
35:02What?
35:03Nice.
35:03Yeah, they're dying inside.
35:05Yeah.
35:05And that's why it's like, I think it's, I think the reason it's a here
35:08is kind of, it's people, everyone's experienced that.
35:11Yeah.
35:11Whether it's at a family funeral.
35:18A nativity play.
35:19Anywhere that I think I shouldn't be making jokes and laughing,
35:22that's when I want to laugh.
35:23And I've got, I can never hide it.
35:25No.
35:25Because I have the audit, I've got a weird laugh.
35:28I laugh on an in, not an out.
35:29So instead of laughing like ha ha, I laugh on a ha,
35:32ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
35:37Not great.
35:37Could you do it?
35:39What, this?
35:39Yeah.
35:40Could you, you'd be, you'd.
35:42I think I could.
35:44I've got my game plan.
35:45I know what I would do.
35:46Because they all get to do a performance piece.
35:48Yeah.
35:48Yeah.
35:49And I would just, I'd wear what I normally wear.
35:51Normally three piece and a tie.
35:52And I would just full magic mic.
35:57Full Monty it and just, and grind.
36:03And lots of eye contact.
36:06Super sexy.
36:07Yeah.
36:09Is there anyone, you mentioned David, anyone else that you were impressed by?
36:14Because I imagine for the, we don't know who's won.
36:16I'm not giving any spoilers out.
36:18Bob Mortimer walks in and you go, all right, never mind.
36:21I can't do it.
36:22Is he the only one that has come back from the first series?
36:25Yeah.
36:25He's the only one still alive.
36:29Have you seen Final Destination?
36:32A weird thing happened with our cast.
36:35They were all gone.
36:36No, he came back to defend his title.
36:38So that was kind of fun.
36:40And he, Romesh's face, because Bob went in last, and Romesh's face just drops.
36:45I mean, I say drops, drops further.
36:50He always looks pretty grumpy, but he's like, oh, extra grump.
36:54It's an awful lot of fun.
36:56And it does feel like, you know, the right show for now.
36:59Because, I don't know, the world's in turmoil.
37:03You know, the guy that used to present, you probably saw it.
37:06You know, The Apprentice in the States?
37:07Mm-hmm.
37:08There was a, there's a guy called Donald Trump used to present that,
37:12and he's now got a new show.
37:14Oh!
37:14It's called The News.
37:17It is fucking terrifying.
37:20I like The Apprentice, so I'm going to try the new one.
37:24Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
37:27Oh, God.
37:31So, people can watch Last One Laughing on Prime Video, available now.
37:36Correct.
37:36Jimmy, here's the thing.
37:38You've started making whisky.
37:40Yeah, I've got a weird whisky company.
37:42Go on.
37:42With some friends.
37:44So, there's a town outside, um, a dairy called Muff.
37:48And so...
37:51LAUGHTER
37:52Please.
37:54I...
37:54Get your minds out of the gutter.
37:56I don't know Muff.
37:56It's...
37:57You know Muff?
37:58I didn't, yes.
37:58Because I thought you were a big meat guy.
38:02LAUGHTER
38:04So, I...
38:05I own the Muff Liquor Company.
38:08LAUGHTER
38:09It only gets weirder.
38:10It's like me and Russell Crowe and Ed Sheeran.
38:12I own a whisky, gin and vodka company called Muff Liquor.
38:18LAUGHTER
38:18It was recently, and this is...
38:20This is a fun fact.
38:21It was recently brought to my attention that that is actually a double entendre.
38:25LAUGHTER
38:27So, watch out for that.
38:29LAUGHTER
38:29You are still on tour.
38:32You're going all over the world.
38:34How many countries?
38:3548.
38:3648?
38:37What?
38:38Yeah, I think 48 countries, yeah.
38:39I'm just doing sort of Australia, New Zealand at the moment.
38:41I think Canada later in the year.
38:43Yeah, it's a lot.
38:44It is a lot.
38:45It's a lot, but you've got to remember, I've got young kids,
38:47so it's nice to be away.
38:50LAUGHTER
38:54Jimmy, where can we get tickets for your tour?
38:55I've got a website, you could go to that, I guess.
38:57People will figure it out.
39:00LAUGHTER
39:02I think, if you're not...
39:03If you're not smart enough to figure out where to get tickets,
39:06I don't want you on my show.
39:07LAUGHTER
39:14We're nearing the end, but before we go,
39:17Jimmy, you've become an advice guru.
39:19When you say you've put a lot out there,
39:21the crowd work is exceptional.
39:24My kids are like, if I have a problem, can you ask Jimmy?
39:27I was like, no, that's super weird.
39:29But you...
39:30I also do know your kids quite well.
39:32I know.
39:33Not that weird.
39:35But how...
39:36How did that start?
39:38People ask questions.
39:39As a comedian, I think you...
39:41If you think about who's your best friend in the world,
39:43I'll tell you who your best friend in the world is.
39:45It's the person you have the least filter.
39:47If you sit next to someone on a plane and go,
39:49oh, the weather, you know, it's been cold, hasn't it?
39:51It's like, that's a lot of filter.
39:52Yeah.
39:53Right.
39:53And if it's like your best friend in the world, you go,
39:55oh, my God, you have to see these hemorrhoids.
39:59Seriously, it's like a bunch of grapes.
40:01Like, that...
40:02That...
40:03That zero filter.
40:04And I think if you treat an audience as if you have no filter with them,
40:08then people open up.
40:09Audience, would you like to feel involved?
40:11Yeah!
40:12Would you...
40:13Would we like some advice from Jimmy?
40:15Yeah!
40:16I think we would, too.
40:18OK.
40:18Yes.
40:19Here we go.
40:20Go on, darling.
40:21Hi.
40:21Yeah, I'm Phoebe.
40:24One of many.
40:25It's like Spartacus.
40:27I know.
40:27It was like me and my army when I stood up.
40:29It was great.
40:30Um, my question is, I want to tell people when they're being annoying
40:36to help them be less annoying, but then I look like a bitch.
40:42So, what's the best way to handle this?
40:46When you say people, how many people are we talking about?
40:50I mean...
40:50I mean, it happens every day.
40:51Like, there's a lot of...
40:52There's a lot of people I would like to tell that to.
40:56Well, the adage would be, if you meet three arseholes before noon,
41:00you're the arsehole.
41:11It's tough love.
41:15I didn't know it was going to go this way.
41:19Would you like a gentler piece of advice?
41:22No, it's all right.
41:25I think you've learned something.
41:27Yeah.
41:27Yeah.
41:28Me too.
41:29And that's what life's about.
41:33I mainly do dick jokes.
41:35OK.
41:36No, I like this Jimmy as well.
41:39Wow.
41:39What do you do?
41:40I feel like I should...
41:41What do you do?
41:42My best.
41:53What do you do?
41:55I'm training to be a therapist.
42:00I mean...
42:02I mean...
42:03I'm not sure if it's the job for you.
42:09I love Chase's face throughout all of that.
42:12And then I believe we have Phoebe number two.
42:16Yes?
42:17Are you also Phoebe?
42:18Hello.
42:18I'm also Phoebe.
42:19Yay!
42:21I'm dating at the moment and I'm just wondering,
42:23how can I figure out the difference between a red flag
42:25and just a floor?
42:27Oh!
42:28That's a good question.
42:30Do you like the guy?
42:32This is just sort of in general.
42:34In general, red flags?
42:36Yeah, and like...
42:37And sort of like icky things and like...
42:39So, I've got a specific example if it helps.
42:41Yes, yes, yes.
42:43Men who specifically only grow an underbeard.
42:48Oh.
42:49That's the worst.
42:50Thank you!
42:51Thank you!
42:54It's just hair here.
42:56Oh, like Lincoln?
42:57Yeah.
42:58Yeah.
42:59OK.
42:59Or they just have like the sort of the straps,
43:02like a helmet strap.
43:03No.
43:04OK.
43:05OK.
43:06I think I might have the answer for this.
43:07Go ahead.
43:08Tell him.
43:09I think if you just are open and you go,
43:12hey, I don't like that, that's got to go.
43:14But he should know that.
43:17LAUGHTER
43:18But then he's...
43:19How much...
43:22Like...
43:22There's no...
43:23Like, he's not...
43:24Yeah, but you're Jamie Adonis.
43:26He's the same thing as everything.
43:27Like, he's not...
43:27There's not articles in magazines going,
43:30this is a great look.
43:32LAUGHTER
43:32No-one's telling him to do it.
43:34Like...
43:35No offence, but you're an Adonis.
43:38LAUGHTER
43:39Yeah, but...
43:40This is just the...
43:40I'd look worse if I had a half beard.
43:42LAUGHTER
43:43Maybe not.
43:43You would still turn heads.
43:45LAUGHTER
43:47You look good.
43:48I don't know.
43:48I think...
43:49I think tell him.
43:50You see, I'm very much enjoying this bit of the show.
43:52LAUGHTER
43:53I could do this all day.
43:55Yes.
43:56That's another show, everybody.
43:58LAUGHTER
44:00Right.
44:00That's it.
44:01We're off to knit a small hour.
44:03I would like to thank my guests,
44:04Jimmy Carr!
