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.
12:44Oh!
12:45Oh, oh!
12:47Oh, oh!
12:47Oh, oh!
12:48She basically held up a sign.
12:51Yeah.
12:51Like you said, so, traitors, that's me!
12:53Yes.
12:54Right, I'm right here, nodded.
12:56Um, we absolutely love The Comeback.
12:59It's on HBO Max with new episodes airing weekly.
13:04Yeah.
13:04Um, Jamie, 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 with Eddie Redmayne?
13:16I did, yeah, yeah, yeah, a long, long time ago. That's Eddie there, yeah.
13:19Oh, conveniently on the TV.
13:23He'd prefer if you used a picture he's holding his Academy Award.
13:26Oh, I get that. Yeah.
13:29What was he like as a flatmate? What do 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, like, he's one of my best mates still.
13:40Oh, right. But this is like 20, 18 years ago, I think, in L.A.
13:43No, we were really tidy for, like, you know, a couple of guys sharing a house together in Laurel Canyon.
13:50Chase, you live with your best friend from college, I think. I do.
13:53And how is that? Because it must be lovely when you're, you know, Oscars, all of this, like, busy,
13:59and then you go back. Is 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.
14:08So I go home for, like, maybe three days at a time, and I'm like, hey, change my luggage,
14:13and then I'm like, okay, bye, thank you for being here, I 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.
14:27Aw. And she gets her own apartment.
14:29She does. She gets a completely empty apartment.
14:32Yeah, sublet. Why is there someone in my room?
14:35Um, Jimmy, talk to me about, what's it like sharing...
14:39I used to live with a couple, yeah. And? Come on.
14:42Well, then my mum and dad.
14:44LAUGHTER
14:46Um, Lisa, didn't you meet your husband through your flatmate?
14:49Yes. I was living with a French woman, Isabelle,
14:52and he had just moved to the U.S. and was told to look up this French girl,
14:58and so he came to take her out, and I just went, no.
15:01He's for me. This isn't gonna work.
15:04And now, oh, my God.
15:06Is that French lady still in your life?
15:09Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
15:10No, then we met again six years later at her party and started dating.
15:15Oh, cool. Mm.
15:16And everyone said, Lisa, no.
15:18Not him.
15:19One French guy, really thick accent, he said,
15:22Lisa, Michel, he's a butterfly.
15:25LAUGHTER
15:26He goes from flower to flower.
15:29LAUGHTER
15:30And you were like, I'm the best flower he's ever gonna make.
15:33No. No, I said, yeah, it doesn't matter,
15:36this is a rebound thing for me.
15:38LAUGHTER
15:38Been together ever since?
15:4030 years. Yeah.
15:41Congratulations.
15:43APPLAUSE
15:47I believe there is somebody here who's got the worst flatmate story.
15:52David?
15:53Yeah.
15:53Hi, David. Hello.
15:54Tell me about the flatmate.
15:55Yeah, I 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
16:02that was on the entertainment team, but he just never stopped.
16:06He would be telling jokes, and 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 practising!
16:18I'm not kidding!
16:19And he wasn't very good.
16:20He'd be banging on the walls, honestly, and then you'd go and work,
16:24and then you'd come back, and he'd get his jumper out.
16:26And he loved cooking fish.
16:29LAUGHTER
16:29Well, I enjoyed our time together.
16:32LAUGHTER
16:36APPLAUSE
16:39Very much...
16:41Very much his side of the story.
16:44LAUGHTER
16:44And you're good at the unicycle.
16:46I would have been good if someone had let me practise.
16:49LAUGHTER
16:50Absolutely.
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 and, like, gratitude
17:16that I get to do it.
17:17It's a proper honour, you know.
17:19Yeah, huge honour.
17:20Let's have a look at a clip this was from Saturday night.
17:23Mm.
17:23I'm just here as a long-time SNL employee to help out
17:28and to answer, like, any questions anyone might have.
17:32What to...
17:33Oh, hi! Yeah, Nicola Coughlin.
17:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
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,
17:49like David Beckham or 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,
17:58for this first episode anyway,
18:01how do I put this politely,
18:03none of you fuckers would do it?
18:06LAUGHTER
18:07Yeah.
18:09Too short.
18:09Too short.
18:12Um, Tina 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.
18:19LAUGHTER
18:20Important to note.
18:22Yeah, Tina and I have done a movie together,
18:24so, you know, I know her and she's incredibly supportive.
18:27She's been around all this week.
18:29I mean, look, it's so iconic, you know,
18:31even from the, you know, the early days of Dan Aykroyd
18:33and Chevy Chase and Bill Murray and people,
18:36friends of mine who I've worked with since,
18:37the Kristen Wiig.
18:38You know, it's, it's just incredible,
18:40but even in the sort of, that sort of company
18:42or in those conversations, so...
18:43Yeah. Um, Lisa, you hosted, didn't you?
18:46Yeah.
18:46How was it?
18:47I don't know.
18:49LAUGHTER
18:50Blanked it up.
18:50Yes.
18:51Was it, was it terrifying?
18:53Terrifying.
18:54Too late to pull out.
18:55LAUGHTER
18:56I've been making jokes about that with them all week.
18:59LAUGHTER
18:59No.
19:00I think saying things like I might be there,
19:02I plan to be there, but I might not be there.
19:04And, uh, one of my kids...
19:05What day is it on again?
19:06Yeah, exactly.
19:08You're going to be utterly brilliant.
19:10Have they asked you...
19:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:11..to sing?
19:13Uh, no, but I will sing, yeah.
19:15LAUGHTER
19:15They haven't asked me, no, but it's live,
19:17I can do what the fuck I want.
19:18You can do what you want.
19:20There he is!
19:21APPLAUSE
19:23Yeah, she...
19:25I love the story when you went,
19:27I 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.
19:34It 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, you had to sing.
19:45Like, I can sing as much as any other sort of...
19:49..douchey actor guy.
19:50But, like, I'm not, like, a great singer,
19:51but I can sing a bit.
19:53And I was first up.
19:55It was, like, 10am in the morning,
19:56which in those days, like, pre-kids was, like, an early kick-off.
20:00Yeah.
20:01And, um, I thought,
20:03I'm not really good enough to be in this room,
20:05so I thought, right, well, what I'll do is,
20:08I'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'd sort of got up, brushed my teeth, had a shower,
20:22and, uh, I arrived,
20:24and I sort of opened the door of the car
20:26and I sort of saw the whisky in the car door,
20:28and I went...
20:29It was the first thing that passed my mouth apart from Toothpaste,
20:31so I...
20:31..as soon as I drank it...
20:33..and I puked.
20:35LAUGHTER
20:36Like, really violently puked.
20:39Um, like, sort of down my front.
20:41No.
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.
20:52And then had to...
20:53You could change.
20:53Honestly, it was so bad.
20:54LAUGHTER
20:54And then I had to do that,
20:56and we were, honestly,
20:57like, 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.
21:05LAUGHTER
21:05And I couldn't sing it,
21:06I really couldn't sing it,
21:07but the director just kept going,
21:08Ah, nah, nah, let's go get...
21:10Let's do it.
21:10You want to do it one more time?
21:12Honestly, no, I don't.
21:13LAUGHTER
21:16A living nightmare.
21:17Um, and I kept...
21:18I think I did it three times,
21:19and then that was it,
21:20and I've 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,
21:31or 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
21:43APPLAUSE
21:50When you're watching TV, you can't smell.
21:52That's a good point.
21:53It's a good point, yeah.
21:54I think that's what Tina Fey does.
21:55Yeah, definitely, yeah, definitely.
21:57Yeah, I got a sniff of her, it was...
21:59LAUGHTER
21:59I didn't...
22:01LAUGHTER
22:03OK, you're hosting Saturday Night Live
22:06tomorrow night, Sky One, 10pm.
22:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
22:16Chasing Timothy, you're here to talk to us about The Testament.
22:19Yes.
22:19Which is unbelievable.
22:21Oh, thank you.
22:21I cannot say this enough.
22:23They sent me one and they said,
22:25that'll do you,
22:26and I had to phone and beg.
22:27It's after The Handmaid's Tale.
22:29Yeah.
22:29It's the sequel.
22:30It'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...
22:39LAUGHTER
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.
23:18But, like, you know when you just don't realise,
23:20you're like, oh, my God, that's, like,
23:21that'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,
23:46going to school and training to become wives in Gilead.
23:50So you're kind of having that new perspective
23:52around a 14-year-old girl, so...
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...
24:19you 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.
24:28I 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?
24:38Or 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.
24:46I talk about, like, crisps or something.
24:50Honestly, 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?
25:15And then we'll go back, I 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.
25:27Too much.
25:28No.
25:29Never.
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.
25:38So maybe just...
25:41Get back in?
25:42Just a, just a modicum of professionalism.
25:44I'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!
26:06Okay, now, we have to talk about one battle.
26:08What 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
26:22to Leonardo DiCaprio, didn't they?
26:25Yeah, they did.
26:26I know exactly where this is going.
26:28Yes.
26:29Yes, 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, I was literally like, I don't know what I'm doing.
26:51I'm so sorry.
26:54And tell me about the Oscars.
26:55I mean, because it's your first one.
26:57Yeah.
26:58And you go, you win everything.
27:00You 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.
27:26I 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.
27:34I mean, true technically.
27:34Because 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?
27:57Or at that point were you like, I'm going night-night?
28:00I went to five parties.
28:02Oh!
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?
28:16Where 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.
28:29I 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.
28:43Because I'm named after her.
28:44And I was like, I'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, it 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.
29:02That is.
29:03It is.
29:04Lisa.
29:05Friends won 79 major awards.
29:09Really?
29:14And do you know what I love, Lisa?
29:17Because not only if there's lots of people don't like talking about,
29:21like, don't like harking back, so we were like,
29:23well, maybe we shouldn't talk about Friends.
29:25But you like talking about it, you don't mind?
29:26No, I don't mind.
29:28Why would I mind?
29:29But I'm just grateful.
29:30Because I'm a wonderful person.
29:37No, 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.
29:52That awkward pause, just like, I feel very exposed after that pause.
29:55No, because we're wondering, you mean last week?
30:00So you just started watching it.
30:03Look, I love the fact that you, you said,
30:06I know the song off by heart, and I thought it was going to be
30:08the 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,
30:14E 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.
30:24Week.
30:25Why?
30:26After 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?
30:46Not one time.
30:47Not one time.
30:47Yeah.
30:47Well, is it because you took something?
30:49No, 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?
31:06Because I think, you've got to take something.
31:09No, you weren't really allowed.
31:12But Matthew Perry asked permission and he gave me the cookie
31:16jar that was on Monica's refrigerator.
31:19Well, yes.
31:20It is nice.
31:21Yeah.
31:21It's really sweet.
31:23Your character specifically had such reach, such impact,
31:28you don't need me to tell you how much.
31:30But, just to illuminate.
31:34OK.
31:35To our audience, if you are called Phoebe, please stand up.
31:39What?
31:41What?
31:41What?
31:42What?
31:43Yeah.
31:47Oh, Phoebe.
31:48Another Phoebe.
31:50Another Phoebe.
31:50Thank you very much.
31:53Thank you very much.
31:54I hope, er, I hope Nicole Kidman's watching this.
31:58You'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.
32:28No, he was.
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.
32:41So the premise is, er, we get ten comedians, they're all very funny, they go into a house and they're
32:47allowed to try and make each other laugh and they're not allowed to laugh.
32:51It'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 here, we might as well win
33:15it.
33:15Yeah.
33:16And then you're performing, these guys are doing bits on stage and they're giving it their all to be funny
33:22and just 11 people are just...
33:27Stony-faced.
33:28Just nothing.
33:29It's killing them inside.
33:31Can we have a clip?
33:32This is David Mitchell's Joker, which gone, before we show it.
33:36I mean, this is...
33:37So David Mitchell is like, I mean, he's a wonderfully funny comedic actor, but also like a serious actor.
33:42Yeah.
33:42He's a serious guy, I mean, he writes columns in the papers.
33:45He's a dear friend, he'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!

34:25Clap hands!
34:26Stop your fish, bang on the big bass drum!
34:29What a picture!
34:31What a picture!
34:31What a picture!
34:46of that which you touched on before is these are the funniest people in the land and nobody's

34:59people just go yeah well done what is that nice yeah they're dying inside yeah and that's what
35:06it's like i think it's i think the reason it's here is kind of it's people everyone's experienced

39:44best friend in the world is it's the person you have the least filter right if you sit next to
39:48someone on a plane and go oh the weather you know it's been cold hasn't it it's like that's a
39:51lot of
39:52filter yeah right and if it's like your best friend in the world you go oh my god you have
39:55to see these
