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.
12:48She basically held up a sign.
12:51Yeah.
12:51Like you said, so traitors.
12:53That's me.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Right, I'm right here.
12:55Nodded.

19:25i love the story when you went i believe for a singing audition and you decided to deal with your
19:31voice a certain way i did i was i was first up uh it was out in l.a around
19:36the time i was probably
19:37living with with eddie and there was a movie called rock of ages i think like tom cruise was in
19:43it and
19:43uh you had to sing and like i can sing as much as any other sort of douchey actor guy
19:50but like i'm
19:51not like a great singer but i can sing a bit and i was first up it was like 10
19:56a.m in the morning
19:56which in those days like pre-kids was like an early an early kickoff um i i thought i'm not
20:04really
20:04good enough to be in this room so i thought right well what i'll do is i'll drink whiskey
20:11um so i bought myself a little quarter bottle of like jameson big up ireland
20:17and uh because it's so early in the morning i hadn't had breakfast or anything i sort of got
20:21up brushed my teeth had a shower and uh i arrived and i sort of opened the door of the
20:26car and i sort
20:26of saw the whiskey in the car door anyway it's the first thing that passed my mouth apart from
20:30toothpaste so i as soon as i drank it and i puked like really violently puked um like sort of
20:40down
20:40my front no all-down thing i didn't have like mouthwash so i then walked into this audition with
20:45puke down my front smelling of whiskey and vomit and then had to honestly it was so bad and then
20:55i
20:55had to that we were honestly like the most comedy small room you've ever been there's like seven
21:00people in this tiny room and i stink and i had to sing the song that i can't sing and

23:30play okay so i play a character named agnes mackenzie and it's kind of a coming-of-age story in
23:35gilead
23:35so the handmaid's tale was told from the perspective of a handmaid but this follows a group of girls who
23:41are the daughters of high-ranking commanders so you're kind of seeing the nobility in a sense going
23:46to school and training to become um wives in gilead so you're kind of having that new perspective
23:52around a 14 year old girl so and it's margaret atwood and it's quite dark a lot of it is
23:58really dark
23:59how do you come out of that if that's not a weird question it's not a weird question but like
24:05i feel
24:06very grateful because our entire cast and crew was so so sweet where you felt very supported the entire
24:12time so even if you had an unexpectedly difficult day with the material on set you felt you felt like
24:18you were um you were cared for in a way and i i really am i owe a lot of
24:23my hard days to my entire
24:25cast and crew because we really had each other on those on those dark moments i mean jamie you played
24:30a real baddie uh in the fall how did you do that and then go yeah i'm gonna make some
24:37pasta now or
24:38however it works i just honestly think you need like levity and those moments because it's just not a
24:44healthy place to keep your head i talk about like crisps or something i'll say like i could talk
24:51about crisps all day so could i i i honestly do think take after take coming at it totally fresh
24:58is a better energy i i personally find and we've been talking about hula hoops for five minutes
25:04beef obviously obviously obviously just have to say that out loud yeah we usually have about 48
25:11eight packets at any point in my house yeah same as me do you let i'm just and then we'll
25:16go back
25:17i promise don't panic it's important jace's agent is like get her out of there have you tried the large
25:23hoop not not a big fan of it yeah too much too much no never what's happened i just i
25:31don't know where
25:31margaret atwood stands on the hula hoop but we were we were on that so maybe just
25:41get back in just just a modicum of professional i'm so sorry he said crisps i went with it
25:49the hula hoops the toy no the crisp the chip i don't know what you're talking about yeah fine

31:14gave me um the cookie jar that was on monica's refrigerator well yes it is nice yeah it's really
31:22sweet your character specifically had such reach such impact you don't need me to tell you how much but

31:40i hope uh i hope nicole kidman's watching this you've got one
32:02wow thank you so much lisa thank you
32:09okay jimmy the time has come to talk about your show which is i feel like i've won a competition
32:14to be here i'm quite happy not we're gonna talk honestly this is lovely last one laughing it was
32:20the biggest hit of last year and it is was it or was it the traitors no no we can
32:35arm wrestle i'm
32:35obsessed by your show let's discuss it before we have a clip tell everybody the premise so the premise
32:42is uh we get 10 comedians they're all very funny they go into a house and they're allowed to try
32:48and
32:48make each other laugh and they're not allowed to laugh it's it's that it's that simple and somehow
32:54it works it's a perfect lineup before they come in you know them all really well do you say to
33:01roisin do you say to anybody going this person's going to smash it and do people surprise you yeah i
33:07was very i was surprised people did people take it so seriously and everyone gets weirdly competitive
33:13about well no we're here we might as well win it yeah and then you're you're performing these guys
33:18are doing bits on stage and they're giving it their all to be funny and just 11 people are just
33:27stony-faced just nothing it's killing them inside can we have a clip this is david mitchell's joker which
33:34gone before we show it i mean this is so david mitchell is like i mean he's a wonderfully funny
33:39comedic
33:40actor but also like a serious actor yeah he's a serious guy i mean he writes columns in the papers
33:45he's he's a dear friend he's quite the talent this blew my mind i mean maybe this is how you
33:50were
33:51thinking of david mitchell this is not how i see him at all this is david mitchell's joker you've read
33:58it in a folio or seen it in a shakespeare play how juliet fell for romeo in the merry month
34:05of may
34:06and as he climbed the orchard wall to reach his lady fair as he stumbled she began to ball as
34:13he
34:13travel through the air oh dear flashbang wallop what a picture what a picture what a fun
34:20chat why now you spend tights all torn and his rapier bent clap hands
34:25on the big face drum what a picture what a picture um tiddly um pum pum pum pum pum pum
34:33singing in your family album he's amazing he's amazing i mean talking through the psychology of that
34:47which you touched on before is these are the funniest people in the land and nobody's lot everyone's like
34:55that and they they come out david does something like that there are others people just go yeah well done
35:01what is that what nice yeah they're dying inside yeah and that's what it's like i think it's i think
35:07the reason it's here is kind of it's people everyone's experienced that yeah whether it's at a family
35:13funeral a nativity play anywhere that i think i shouldn't be making jokes and laughing that's when
35:22i want to laugh and i've got i can never hide it no because i have the audit i've got
35:27a weird laugh
35:27i laugh on an in not an out so instead of laughing like ha ha i know i laugh on
35:32a
35:36not great could you do it what this yeah uh could you you'd be you'd i think i i think
35:43i could
35:44i've got my game plan i know what i would do because they all get to do a performance piece
35:48yeah yeah and i would just i'd wear what i normally wear normally three piece and a tie
35:52and i would just full magic mike
35:57full monte it and just and grind
36:03and lots of eye contact super sexy yeah
36:09is there anyone you mentioned david anyone else that you were impressed by because i imagine for the
36:15we don't know who's won i'm not giving any spoilers out bob mortimer walks in and you go all right
36:20never mind i can't do it is he the only one that has come back from the first series yeah
36:25he's the
36:25only one still alive have you seen final destination the weird thing happened with our cast they're all
36:35gone um no he came back to defend his title so that was it's kind of fun and he romesh's
36:41face well
36:42because bob went in last and romesh's face just drops i mean yeah i say drops drops further
36:50he always looks pretty grumpy but he's like ah extra grump it's a it's an awful lot of fun and
36:56it does
36:56feel like you know the right show for now because i don't know the world's in turmoil you uh you
37:04know
37:04the guy that used to present you probably saw it you know the apprentice in the states there was a
37:09there's a guy called donald trump used to present that and he's now got a new show
37:13oh it's called the news it is terrifying i like the apprentice so i'm gonna try the new one

38:12and
38:12ed sheeran i own a whiskey gin and vodka company called muff liquor it was recently and this is
38:20this is a fun fact it was recently brought to my attention that that is actually a double entendre
38:27so watch out for that you are still on tour you're going all over the world how many countries 48
38:37what yeah i think 48 countries yeah i'm just doing sort of australia new zealand at the moment i think
38:42canada later in the year yeah it's a lot it is a lot it's a lot but you've got to
38:46remember i've got
38:47young kids so it's nice to be away jimmy where can we get tickets for your top i've got a
38:56website you
38:56could go to that i guess you people will figure it out i think if you're not if you're not
39:04smart
39:04enough to figure out where to get tickets i don't want you on my show you're nearing the end but
39:15before we go jimmy you've become an advice guru when you say you put a lot out there you the
39:21crowd
39:22work is exceptional my kids are like if i have a problem can can you ask jimmy i was like
39:27that
39:28that's super weird but you like so do you know your kids quite well so that's um but how how
39:37did that
39:37start people ask questions as a comedian i think you if you think about who's your best friend in the
39:43world
39:43i'll tell you who your best friend in the world is it's the person you have the least filter right
39:47if you sit next to someone on a plane and go well the weather you know it's been cold hasn't
39:51it it's
39:51like that's a lot of filter yeah right and if it's like your best friend in the world you go
39:55oh my god
39:55you have to see these hemorrhoids seriously it's like a bunch of grapes like that that zero filter and
40:04i think if you treat an audience as if you have no filter with them then people open up audience
40:09would you
40:10like to feel involved would you would would we like some advice from jimmy yeah i think we would
40:17too okay yes here we go go on hi yeah i'm phoebe one of many um it's like spartacus i
40:27know it was like me

40:35being annoying
40:36to help them be less annoying um but then i look like a a bitch so what's the best way
40:44to handle this
40:46when you say people how many people are we talking about i mean i mean it happens every day like
40:52there's a lot of there's a lot of people i would like to tell that too well the adage would
40:58be if you
40:58meet three arseholes before noon you're the arsehole it's tough love
41:15i didn't know it was going to go this way would you like a gentler piece of advice no it's

42:09I love Chase's face throughout all of that and then I believe we have
42:14Phoebe number two. Yes. Hello, I'm also Phoebe. I'm dating at the moment and I'm just wondering
42:22how can I figure out the difference between a red flag and just a floor? That's a good question.
42:30Do you like the guy? This is just sort of in general. In general red flags? Yeah, and like
42:37and sort of like icky things and like so I've got a specific example if it helps. Yes, yes, yes.
42:42Yeah, men who specifically only grow an underbeard. Oh, that's the worst. Thank you.
42:51Thank you. It's just hair here. Oh, like Lincoln? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
42:59Or they just have like the sort of the straps, like a helmet strap. Yeah.
43:04No, yeah. Okay. I think I might have the answer for this. Go ahead.
43:08Tell him. I think if you just are open and you go, hey, I don't like that, that's got to
43:14go.
43:14But he should know that.
43:17LAUGHTER
43:18But then he's...
43:19How much...

43:24Yeah, but you're Jamie Adonis. He's the same thing as everything.
43:27Like, he's not, there's not articles in magazines going, this is a great look.
43:32LAUGHTER
43:32No one's telling him to do it, like...
43:35No offence, but you're an Adonis.
43:38LAUGHTER
43:39Yeah, but this is just the...
43:40I'd look worse if I had a half beard.
43:42LAUGHTER
43:43Maybe not.
43:44You would still turn heads.
43:47You look good.
43:48I don't know. I think, I think, tell him.
