00:17All right. Thank you, contagious. Oh, my God. Oh, wow.
00:25Can I just, by the way, if there's a pandemic early next year,
00:28maybe you remember this moment.
00:31All right. I think we've had enough. Get out of here, George.
00:33Can you help me out, Sean?
00:33Come on. Yeah, sure.
00:34There you go. Wow.
00:36There you go. Contagious George, everyone.
00:39Big show coming up.
00:40Sean McHale sticking around.
00:41And Michael Weatherly from NCIS is up next.
01:23Thank you, Sean.
01:25Thank you, Sean.
01:28That you're here tonight for many reasons.
01:31One is, but you hosted a Tonight Show on Channel 9 in 2003.
01:35It was a long time ago, Sean.
01:36Yeah, absolutely.
01:37And here you are there just for some, um...
01:39Wow, you were an old-looking young man, weren't you?
01:43Mate, favourite guest?
01:44Keith Urban. Look, Keith Urban's there.
01:46Oh, look, is that Shane Warne? Hello, Shane.
01:48Yep.
01:48All my old friends.
01:50Who's that? Don't know who that is.
01:53What was it like? Favourite guest?
01:54Favourite guest?
01:55Oh, well, you know, they're all wonderful, warm human beings.
01:59But in all sincerity, probably Barry Humphries,
02:02cos he was a bit of a hero of mine
02:03and I did get to meet him for the first time.
02:05Ladies and gentlemen, Barry Humphries.
02:07And he was the reason that I got into comedy.
02:10He was the force behind my decision to become a comedian.
02:13So it was really nice to be able to have him on the show,
02:16meet him, have a chat to him.
02:18Yeah.
02:21How do you think it went?
02:23Well, it's very interesting, cos I was...
02:25During the interview, like I said,
02:26I'll pretend I'm, like, interviewing you, all right?
02:30Yeah.
02:30So I'm talking to him and he's answering my question
02:32and all I'm doing is just looking at him going,
02:34wow, Barry Humphries, I can't believe I'm actually...
02:37And I wasn't listening to his answer.
02:39And then at the end of the question, at the end of his answer,
02:42he asked me a question and then I just was completely befuddled
02:46as to what was going on.
02:47So...
02:47Is it a bit like what's happening now?
02:49Bit of a...
02:49Yeah.
02:50When you have your real guest out here,
02:52when you have Michael Weatherly come out here,
02:53listen to what he's saying.
02:55OK.
02:55You know what?
02:55Yeah, get back over there.
02:56That's fine.
02:58Sean, I wanted to also, by the way,
02:59I wanted to ask you,
03:00because you are responsible for Sincerely,
03:02one of my favourite ever moments on Australian television,
03:05talk me through what happened in the very first episode
03:07with Danny Minogue as your guest.
03:11Oh, yes.
03:11Tell us what happened.
03:12She was on the first show.
03:13We thought it'd be funny, cos she's singing a song for us.
03:16We thought it'd be funny during her song
03:18to do a cutaway of me watching Andrew Denton,
03:21who was then doing a similar show on the ABC.
03:25So rather than watch her,
03:27we thought it'd be post-modern for me to be watching Andrew Denton.
03:30Now, I saw this and thought it was the funniest thing
03:31I've ever seen in my life.
03:32Thank you, Sam.
03:33How did the network you were on, Channel 9,
03:35how did they enjoy it?
03:36Less enthusiastic than you, I think.
03:39Cos they worked out,
03:39they looked at the ratings the next week and they said,
03:41you know, at the point where you were watching Andrew Denton,
03:44we lost 30,000 viewers.
03:46So they said, don't ever do that again.
03:48All right.
03:49So we weren't allowed to do that again.
03:50Well, by the way, we actually have footage of the moment.
03:52This is Sean McAuliffe on his Tonight Show
03:54watching Andrew Denton on another show at the same time.
03:58Yeah.
03:59This is like Inception, by the way.
04:00That was a hard card cut, wasn't it?
04:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:05Well, so anyway, look, again, another bit of advice,
04:07don't watch another television program while you're doing your own.
04:09Just concentrate on what you're doing.
04:11OK, then.
04:11I'll do my best.
04:12We actually did contact Annie Minogue to hear her version of events
04:16and she said she was too busy watching My Kitchen Rules.
04:20And that she'd never even heard of the Steve Pang show.
04:23So there you go, Sean.
04:25Now, you know we've got Michael Weatherly from NCIS up next.
04:29Wonderful actor.
04:30That's pretty good, isn't he?
04:36Now, he'll be sitting here right after the break,
04:39but as always, I like to catch up with my guests before the show
04:42and we've actually got some footage of the moment we met.
04:46Come in.
04:47Hey, Michael.
04:48Hey, Sam.
04:49Bit of an issue?
04:49Nothing to worry about.
04:51I need you to help me dispose of something.
04:54Why would you want me to help?
04:55You've been on NCIS for like six seasons.
04:58I did 13 seasons.
05:00Whatever.
05:01So surely you've learned something.
05:03I'm an actor, Sam.
05:04It was a TV show and I played a cop.
05:05Yeah.
05:06So you should know how to get rid of, uh...
05:10I'm not helping you get rid of a body, Sam.
05:12Fine.
05:13Whatever.
05:14Hey, maybe don't mention this out on the show, OK?
05:17OK.
05:18Or you'll be next.
05:19I'm sorry.
05:20Nothing late.
05:20All good.
05:21See you out there.
05:25Miss Gordon.
05:28Miss Gordon.
05:31Miss Gordon.

06:00Welcome back, now my first guest spent 13 seasons on NCIS as special agent Tony DiNozzo
06:12and is now starring in his own spin-off series where it's just gone with the first name which
06:17is good Tony and Ziva here he is in action.
06:20You sure I can't help you?
06:2213 seasons on NCIS.
06:24Who are you?
06:24Michael Weatherly.
06:25I love you.
06:26Breeze, you're back!
06:27How does it feel to know that you were the one who got played?
06:29Are we here to celebrate a great man or what?
06:32Absolutely.
06:33He's still got it.
06:35Please welcome, Michael Weatherly!
06:51What a thank you.
06:52Oh, sorry.
06:54Hang on.
06:59Oh, Sam.
07:01Michael!
07:05It's just wonderful to see you.
07:06It is wonderful to be seen.
07:08I'm going to get straight into it by the way.
07:10Hey, you know, just in case people don't know, you've worked with Liam Neeson, Sandra Bullock,
07:13Jennifer Garner, Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Jamie Lee Curtis, and...
07:18This is going to get intense.
07:19Just, um, make yourself at home.
07:24Listen, that's a big list of names.
07:26And, of course, uh, acted with me.
07:30Um...
07:33One word to describe my performance?
07:36Um...
07:37Very rarely have I needed a defibrillator after...
07:43After, um, and, um...
07:46Yeah, you could put someone into a coma.
07:51I'm not saying it was boring or flavorless, but it had nothing.
07:58It had no...
07:59You know, sometimes people will say, oh, it's very grounded, the performance,
08:02or maybe it was too much.
08:03Yours had nothing.
08:11But you're a lovely human being.
08:14Hey, let's go with this.
08:15You have had a, uh, a very long television career,
08:18a wonderfully successful television career.
08:20But let's go back to where it all started, 1991,
08:23and a Snickers ad, I believe?
08:25Yes, yes.
08:26So, uh...
08:28So when you're a young, uh, actor running around New York,
08:31you have these auditions, and you don't quite know what they are.
08:34You just know, 9 a.m., Reed Melsky, 928 Broadway.
08:37So I knew I had to be there.
08:39But the night before, I got a wink from a bartender,
08:42and, um, she asked me to, if I would be still around.
08:48Now, the bars don't close till 3.30, 4 o'clock.
08:50So I, you know, I had to sort of see what would happen, roll the dice.
08:54So I got home around 6 a.m., and fell asleep outside my door.
08:59And as my roommate was leaving to go to work, he had to push my body out of the way.
09:04And, uh, that's when I realized that I was gonna be late to the audition.
09:07I ran down the street, came into the room, and they were just closing up,
09:12and there was a case of, um, mystery items inside it.
09:17And they said, just take one and, uh, and take a bite.
09:21And I'd never seen this before, but it was a Snickers ice cream bar.
09:25Now, if you've ever had too much alcohol...
09:29And you... The first thing you get when you wake up,
09:32rather than brush your teeth, is a Snickers ice cream bar.
09:36Needless to say, several mouth orgasms later,
09:40I booked it in the room and have been eating them ever since,
09:44which I'm working on with my trainer.
09:46Uh, but I booked in the room, and then we went to go shoot it,
09:51and I did the opposite before the shoot.
09:53I got a lot of rest, I was very cogent,
09:56and, uh, I sucked so badly.
09:58When we were shooting it, we did 86 takes.
10:02And I... I actually had to go to the hospital
10:05because I had, uh, there's caffeine in chocolate,
10:08and I had an overdose of the... of the caffeine.
10:1286 takes, probably type 2 diabetes by then, too.
10:15Well, luckily, no one will ever see this commercial.
10:18So...
10:19Well, 86 takes.
10:21Yeah.
10:21And you say, no one will see this commercial.
10:22Let's see what...
10:24Oh, no.
10:25Let's see.
10:26Okay.
10:26Let's see what...
10:27YouTube, damn it!
10:28Let's see what took 86 takes.
10:31Snickers ice cream bar.
10:33Everything you'd expect a Snickers ice cream bar to be.
10:36You've got to taste it to believe it.
10:40APPLAUSE
10:43Welcome back.
10:45You're watching Sam Peng Tonight.
10:48APPLAUSE
10:49Thank you, Sean.

17:341991.
17:35And a Snickers ad, I believe?
17:37Yes. Yes.

18:11And as my roommate was leaving to go to work,
18:13he had to push my body out of the way.
18:15LAUGHTER

18:17that I was gonna be late to the audition.
18:19I ran down the street, came into the room,
18:22and they were just closing up,
18:23and there was a case of, um, mystery items inside it.
18:28And they said,
18:29just take one.
18:30And, uh, and take a bite.
18:32And I'd never seen this before,
18:34but it was a Snickers ice cream bar.
18:36Now, if you've ever had too much alcohol...
18:40LAUGHTER
18:40And you...
18:41The first thing you get when you wake up,
18:44rather than brush your teeth,
18:45is a Snickers ice cream bar.
18:48Needless to say, several mouth orgasms later...
18:51LAUGHTER
18:51I booked it in the room,
18:54and have been eating them ever since,
18:56which I'm working on with my trainer.
18:57Uh, but I booked in the room,
19:00and then we went to go shoot it.
19:02And I did the opposite before the shoot.
19:05I got a lot of rest.
19:06I was very cogent, and, uh, I sucked so badly.
19:10When we were shooting it, we did 86 takes.
19:13LAUGHTER
19:14And I actually had to go to the hospital,
19:17because I had, uh, there's caffeine in chocolate,
19:20and I had an overdose of the... of the caffeine.
19:2386 takes, probably type 2 diabetes by then, too.
19:26LAUGHTER
19:27Luckily, no one will ever see this commercial.
19:29LAUGHTER
19:30So...
19:30Well, 86 takes.
19:32Yeah.
19:32And you say, no one will see this commercial.
19:34Let's see...
19:35Oh, no.
19:36Let's see...
19:37OK.
19:38Let's see what...
19:38YouTube, damn it!
19:40LAUGHTER
19:40Let's see what took 86 takes.
19:43Snickers ice cream bar.
19:44Everything you'd expect a Snickers ice cream bar to be.
19:48You've got to taste it to believe it.
19:50LAUGHTER
19:54I take back...
19:5686 takes!
19:57I take back everything I said about your acting.
20:00LAUGHTER
20:01Uh, like I said, very successful television movie career.
20:05Have you ever done theatre? Genuine question.
20:07Ah, yes. But it was terrible.
20:10Um, and, you know, actors often think, uh,
20:13maybe Shakespeare.
20:15Maybe that's in the cards for me one day.
20:18And I was, indeed, thinking about this.
20:20And I was in Toronto, I think, when I saw Keanu Reeves in, um,
20:26Macbeth.
20:27And that cured me of any curiosity that I had.
20:32Would you like to see my Keanu Reeves does Macbeth?
20:35Does anyone know?
20:36Well...
20:36OK, now, I...
20:39This is my rendition of Keanu done with pure love
20:42and nothing but utter respect and wonder at the Matrix and all the...
20:48But this is Keanu doing...
20:51Whoa!
20:55He's here in double trust.
20:57First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
20:59strong both against the deed.
21:01Then, as his host, who should against his murderer,
21:04shut the door and I'll bear the knife myself.
21:07Besides, this Duncan has put on his packages.
21:14Wow.
21:17So, no Shakespeare for me.
21:21Just clarifying, that was done with love, that version.
21:25Uh...
21:25I have a Russell Crowe impression, but I won't do it,
21:27because that is with love.
21:29Friend of the show. Friend of the show.
21:31Are you kidding me?
21:32He's the most amazing thing in the world.
21:34He's up in the rafters, fan of the opera style, by the way.
21:38Ah!
21:40Hey, NCIS for 13 seasons.
21:42Congratulations. An amazing effort.
21:44Lucky 13.
21:49Now, I told you before, I've missed every one.
21:52But...
21:53No, it's a very popular franchise,
21:55all right around the world.
21:56If you've missed it, here's a moment from NCIS.
21:59Oh!
22:00Oh!
22:02Oh!
22:02Oh!
22:03Okay.
22:04If I were you, I would burn that film,
22:06because you do not want any more of these getting out there.
22:08Now, Michael, the bit I loved about that is,
22:11that photo that they used in that scene,
22:13in that episode, that's actually you.
22:15Yes.
22:16This is you.
22:18Look at that.
22:19You either work at a bank,
22:21or you're about to kill everyone in it.
22:23I'm not really sure, uh, what, what that, but that is, uh...
22:28That was my Hillary Clinton impression.
22:31How old were you there?
22:33Uh, I was 23.
22:34No, no, I was about 13 or 14.
22:37And you don't become an actor because things went well growing up, Sam.
22:41Um, so clearly, yeah.
22:43You can see, there's just a whiff of tragedy in that photo, isn't there?
22:47But look at the handsome man you grew into.
22:49Like, that's, that's what a...
22:51Yeah.
22:51What a wonderful, encouraging message.
22:54What an encouraging message for all the fours out there.
22:57It's all about the hair.
22:57That's what you could end up.
22:59Um, I wanted to ask you this.
23:00This is a genuine question.
23:02What's the...
23:02What's the hardest thing about being an actor?
23:04Hmm.
23:05What is the hardest thing about being an actor?
23:07Uh, I would say that, uh, the unpredictability of it,
23:13and, and, you know, there's no matriculating,
23:15there's no moving through, uh, any kind of sequence in a career,
23:20like being a talk show host or, or, you know, um...
23:24A comedian or a comic genius, you know.
23:28He was talking to me, Sean.
23:32So, I, I do, I do think that there's this, uh, this insecurity
23:37that you have to get comfortable with.
23:39And also, you can get that imposter syndrome
23:42where you always feel like, uh, there's, see,
23:45that you're putting on a thing.
23:46And then, like, my wife said to me once,
23:50you can cry very easily.
23:52I've noticed.
23:53Why?
23:54Why is, why is that, that coming to you so easily?
23:57And I said, your beauty overwhelms me so much.
24:02And that's when, and then she was like, she was like,
24:05never lie to me again.
24:07Actually, we do have one rule in our marriage.
24:10I mean, we have many rules. There's many rules.
24:12Don't get me wrong.
24:14Empty the dishwasher, make sure the bag goes out Sunday night
24:16to the trash bin.
24:17Um, but the, the mean, the main one is when you're having an argument,
24:22and I know most, uh, people don't.
24:24Brother and sister here today never, never had an argument.
24:28Also happened to be a married couple.
24:30Uh, but they, they were, you, this is the key.
24:36Never, you do, say anything you want, any tactic you want.
24:39But the one thing you can't say is call somebody a name,
24:43like a bad word or a name.
24:44Okay.
24:45So I can be absolutely, like, vitriolic and pure red with anger,
24:52but always, uh, avoid using the bad, nasty, accusatory, like, name.
24:58Okay.
24:59I like, it's a great answer.
25:01I know it sounds weird, but try it in your real life,
25:03and you'd be like, oh, it's kind of like, um, wearing boxing gloves.
25:07It just sort of takes the, nobody's bleeding at the end.
25:09Well, that's a beautiful message.
25:11I just want to say that, that, that's interesting considering,
25:14I just want to show you this scene, uh, from,
25:17it's a behind the scenes moment from NCIS.
25:20If I can't remember my line, see what I do?
25:22Mm-hmm.
25:23Hi, boss.
25:24I interrupt anything for, for it I didn't ask him.
25:27You know, after I listened to you speak so profoundly
25:30about the craft, right?
25:32Do you have any obligation to actually learn the lines, Michael?
25:37Now, you worked with me today.
25:38You know that I, I don't know my lines at all.
25:41Does it, does it take you out of the character, though, by the way,
25:44when you look across and the, the other, the other actor has their lines
25:46stuck to their head?
25:47You, you, you saw the picture from my childhood.
25:50Yeah, I can, that's a good point.
25:51Okay, there were not a lot of options for that guy.
25:53Well, you, okay, and so...
25:54It's a miracle you've ended up where you are.
25:56You have, you and my wife are thinking the exact same way.
25:59I just wanted to, I just wanted to just, you know, what would I know?
26:02But I just thought that learning your lines would be a fundamental part
26:05of the job.
26:06Anyway, um, time now for the, higher, higher, yeah.
26:12Guest announcer question with Sean McHale.
26:16Time now for this.
26:25Michael, I'm sorry about the interview so far, but...
26:30One final question before you leave.
26:32Um, now, NCIA has been running for 26 years, you've been there for 13,
26:37but it does seem to me that there is a murder or pretty close to it every week.
26:41Um, do you think this says something, uh, negative about the culture of the United States Navy?
26:50Well...
26:52I think...
26:53Should, should, should we look into it?
26:55Should there be an inquiry?
26:56Perhaps a Royal Commission?
26:57Maybe that would be a good series?
26:59I'm just spitballing here.
27:00We've been on the air so long that nobody remembers how the show got pitched.
27:04Because nobody's still alive from that, from that pitch sequence.
27:09But it's probably similar to how Gilligan's Island got on the air or anything.
27:13It's a mystery, uh, wrapped in a riddle.
27:16Every week, yes, somebody in Rock Creek Park finds a dead petty officer,
27:21and gosh darn it, we're gonna figure out who did it and why.
27:23I like it. Would you please, thank, please, Michael Weatherly, ladies and gentlemen.
27:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:35By the way, by the way, uh, what a wonderful example
27:40of why your Tonight Show lasted 13 episodes.
27:43What, what do you mean?
27:44We're not moving on.
27:45I'm contractually obliged to talk about the new series.
27:48Oh, I'm so sorry.
27:50Oh, you wanted to talk about Paramount Plus a little bit?
27:52No, we're currently...
27:53You've got a spin-off series, NCIS Tony and Ziva.
27:56Yes.
27:57This is big. Here's a clip.
27:59You and I haven't been in this kind of a situation in a long time,
28:01so I'd like to, um, set some ground rules.
28:04We keep it professional.
28:06We are good at professional.
28:09Yes, we are, and to that end, I need you to trust me.
28:12I do trust you.
28:14I just don't want us falling back into... bad habits.
28:19Whoa.
28:21Steamy. Steamy.
28:22That's Cody DiPablo plays Ziva David on the show.
28:26Um, and it is always an honor, a privilege, and a pleasure
28:30to be, uh, hitting a mark next to that gal.
28:32She is a properly trained actress.
28:35She memorizes her lines.
28:37She knows exactly how to do everything,
28:39and she creates a great big safety net for me to fall into
28:42every time we look at each other.
28:44Have you been angling for a spin-off the whole time?
28:46Yes. It pretty much...
28:50But it's...
28:50It is the kind of thing...
28:52We've shot in Budapest.
28:53We went to Europe.
28:54I lived there for seven months, six months,
28:56and then a month in the Canary Islands.
28:58And we shot, uh, you know, there's...
29:02I don't know how many seasons we're gonna do, but...
29:05It'll be... Iceland next?
29:07I don't know.
29:08Where the hell do we go?
29:09I'm sure it's gonna, uh, last a long time.
29:12I just wanted to say, by the way,
29:13it's been an honor to have you on the show.
29:14I know you've done all the talk shows around the world,
29:16but none of our guests leave empty-handed.
29:19I've got some gifts for you, Michael Weatherly.
29:20Oh, good.
29:20Okay.
29:21We've got the Sampang tonight cap.
29:23I'll wear this on the Sydney NCIS set.
29:25There you go.
29:27We've got the mug.
29:29We've got the mug.
29:30And, of course,
29:32I don't know if you're watching another bit,
29:33our little mascot, Contagious George.
29:35Take that home with you, mate.
29:37We really appreciate it.
29:40Will you please thank Michael Weatherly?
29:44Back with more Sampang tonight after this.
30:09Welcome back.
30:10Now, as a naturally curious man,
30:12I have a lot of questions I've always wanted to ask,
30:14and now I've got my own show, I finally can.
30:17Which leads me to my breakout segment from season one.
30:21Questions I've always wanted to ask,
30:22and now I've got my own show, I finally can.
30:28Sean, for those at home wanting to get involved,
30:30that hashtag again?
30:31Yes, just down here.
30:32There it is.
30:33You can read it now.
30:38The world of psychiatry is well represented in popular culture.
30:41I've got so many questions,
30:42and here to answer them is psychiatrist Dr Samantha Loy.
30:45Please welcome.
30:50Now, Samantha, thank you for being here.
30:52Before we get started, let's get ready there with the...
30:57They might come in handy if Sean starts talking about his career again.
31:06Secondly, secondly, how's your relationship with your mother?
31:10Well, that's the reason why I got into psychiatry.
31:13Really?
31:13Yeah.
31:14Just like Michael beforehand.
31:17Oh, where you were listening?
31:18Yeah, I was listening, actually.
31:19I'm a good listener.
31:20That's where we differ.
31:23By the way, psychiatrists are so smart,
31:25how did it take Bruce Willis the whole movie
31:27to realise he was dead in six years?
31:29Don't answer that.
31:30All right.
31:30I want to drill down into your clinical experience,
31:34so let's take a look at this scene from There's Something About Mary.
31:37I worked all summer to pay off those debts,
31:40and I never saw Mary again.
31:43That was, what, 13 years ago?
31:48I don't know if that's Mary.
31:51Samantha, do you ever zone out while listening to...?
31:58Sorry?
31:59What was that?
32:01I liked...
32:06I liked...
32:07I liked that...
32:10I liked that you didn't even wait till I'd finished the question.
32:14Genuine question.
32:15Do you ever zone out when you're listening to a client?
32:18Well, we have lots of training,
32:19and we're actually in a really privileged position
32:21to listen to what our patients say.
32:23So, really, we're trained to listen and take into consideration
32:28what they're talking about.
32:29And we hear so many interesting stories
32:31that it's actually quite hard to zone out.
32:34But we are taught to have certain mannerisms and training
32:39to look like we're actually really listening.
32:41So, we can do both.
32:42But most of the time, the stories we hear are fascinating
32:45and everyone's got their own story to tell.
32:47They should be allowed to tell it.
32:48So, that's what we're here for.
32:49Earliest you've ever looked at the clock.
32:53How many minutes...
33:14Well...
33:15Grouching on like this?
33:16Every time?
33:17Aren't you supposed to be validating me or something?
33:19Actually, I am.
33:21Ah, but I'm not going to do it anymore.
33:23Because you're lying to me.
33:25And you want me to validate that?
33:27No.
33:28In fact, fuck no.
33:33Um...
33:34First obvious question.
33:35Jeez, that Pedro Pascal's a dreamboat, isn't he?
33:40Samantha, how honest can you be with your clients?
33:44Well, it's all about having a therapeutic relationship.
33:47And at some point in time, you want them to trust you
33:50and be able to share the most intimate details.
33:52So, at some point, I think, after, you know,
33:55after you've had a good conversation and many sessions,
33:57you may be able to be able to get them to learn the truth
34:00and be able to get the patient themselves
34:02to know what's actually going on.
34:03And so, our job as a psychiatrist is for them
34:05to be able to see what is happening in their own life
34:08rather than us suggesting it.
34:09They learn to see the truth themselves.
34:12Okay. Wow.
34:13This is actually fascinating.
34:15I'm, um...
34:16I'll be surprised.
34:17Hey, uh...
34:18I wanted to, um, ask you, though, about roleplay.
34:22Mm.
34:22Now, uh, roleplay in sessions.
34:25Have a look at this moment from 30 Rock, Samantha.
34:27I think I can do this.
34:29I'm mad at you, Dad.
34:30Hey, dummy.
34:31I'm mad at you, too.
34:32Why you gotta act out that way?
34:34Uh, that's not exactly what I have.
34:35Cause you left me, Dad!
34:37I was young and confused and your mums didn't want me around no more.
34:40Uh, this is not helpful.
34:42Be me now.
34:44I only act out because I want your love!
34:48Down on my head!
34:50Yeah!
34:51Yeah!
34:54Yeah!
34:54So...
34:54So many questions there.
34:56Um, mostly for our lawyers.
35:00Roleplaying, though, is that a genuine psychiatric technique?
35:03Well, not in the sense that you've seen there, but certainly some type, some psychotherapy techniques such as cognitive behaviour
35:11therapy may help people practice and learn if they've got trauma or difficulties with different, um, anxieties.
35:19So if you're scared of heights, for example, part of the roleplay might be to gradually expose that person to
35:24heights in a really slow and safe fashion.
35:26So in some ways, roleplay, but in different sense.
35:30Okay.
35:30You know, sort of graded exposure, I suppose.
35:32So reading between the lines, you wouldn't necessarily do the voices.
35:35Certainly not.
35:36Okay, great.
35:36Good game.
35:37Um, what have we got?
35:39I don't know how that got there.
35:40Hey, um, alright.
35:41This, couples, couples therapy.
35:44Yes.
35:44Couples therapy is serious work and millions of Australians have witnessed it, uh, or witnessed its complexity on screen through
35:51profound television programs such as this.
35:55The photo ranking task asks our couples to reveal what they find attractive in a partner.
36:00You can go second last.
36:03They put me second last.
36:06They put me second last.
36:07Samantha, at what stage of your psychiatric training do you learn about ranking your partner by hotness?
36:15I'm not sure if I can have them.
36:18I'm not sure if I can have them.
36:19That's alright.
36:19That is actually quite ridiculous what we just saw in maths.
36:22But, before you leave, I was just wondering if you could rank, um, these, these gentlemen in order if that's
36:28okay.
36:29I'll get this right.
36:30I think it's like this.
36:32Alright.
36:32Let's set this up very quickly.
36:33Okay.
36:34Number one, the great Sean McAuliffe.
36:36Have a look at that.
36:37Whoa.
36:39Handsome.
36:41Oh, number two, I'll throw myself in there if that's okay.
36:48Look at those cheekbones.
36:50Alright.
36:51This is a bit unfair.
36:51The handsome Michael Weatherly.
36:53But, uh, anyway, he's in there.
36:59And, of course, well, look, I'm just giving you, you know, options here.
37:03Contagious George is also...
37:06Now, in terms of hotness, Samantha Lloyd, I'm so sorry to waste your time, by the way.
37:13How would you rank them?
37:14Go.
37:15Oh, my God.
37:16This is a tough question.
37:17Yeah.
37:19Um...
37:19Ah, goodness.
37:19This was taken when Sean was 11.
37:21Yes.
37:21And yours?
37:22When was that taken?
37:23Mine?
37:24Yeah, about two days ago.
37:26Two days ago?
37:26Yeah.
37:27Yeah.
37:27Okay.
37:27Um, well, I'm going to just close my eyes and pick that one.
37:34What?
37:34This one's the most handsome?
37:35That's the most handsome.
37:36Okay.
37:37Then...
37:37Silver Fox.
37:43I'm right here.
37:46You've been objectified.
37:47Well done.
37:48Alright.
37:48I'm going to leave you...
37:49Well, just two, three, four.
37:50Go.
37:52Two, three, four.
37:54There you go.
37:54I'm glad I went back for that.
37:55It's been totally fascinating.
37:58Please put your hands together for psychiatrist Dr. Samantha Lloyd.
38:01Back with more in a moment.
38:26Welcome back.
38:29Sean McAuliffe, of course, with me.
38:31And, uh...
38:32Sean, I wanted to ask you genuinely.
38:34Do you have anything...
38:35Like, thank you for being here, but do you have anything to plug?
38:37No, I'm here.
38:38I'm your friend.
38:39Of course I'm here.
38:39I've got nothing to plug.
38:41Although...
38:43There is a Just For Laughs comedy gala.
38:45It's not about me.
38:46It's not about me.
38:47But all these wonderful comedians, uh, will be there.
38:50Uh, you can see the date there.
38:52And, uh, you're not...
38:53You're not there.
38:54But, uh, are you doing anything...
38:55Are you doing anything Just For Laughs?
38:56Or have you got this show on?
38:57Yeah, I've got this show.
38:58Also, you say it's not for you...
38:59Not about you.
39:00But your picture is clearly the biggest...
39:02I didn't notice that.
39:02Where was that?
39:03Was that there?
39:04It's clearly the biggest in, uh...
39:06There you go.
39:06Oh, I see, yeah.
39:07You look like a giant!
39:08I didn't recognise myself without the beard.
39:11You're doing stand-up?
39:12Uh, yeah, I'll be doing a...
39:14I'll be doing a...
39:15I'll be doing a...
39:15Stand-up first.
39:15I've never done stand-up.
39:16I'll do...
39:17One joke.
39:18One joke.
39:18Can I try it?
39:19Because you're a professional comedian.
39:23Can I try it out and give me a few pointers?
39:25Tell me if it's okay.
39:26Happy to be of service.
39:27Okay.
39:27Well, I went to my psychiatrist the other day, Sam.
39:29Yeah.
39:30And I said, uh, Doc, I think I'm a kleptomaniac.
39:32He said, really?
39:33You should take something for it.
39:37That's the whole act.
39:38That's all I got.
39:40What else do you need?
39:41That's all.
39:42How long are you supposed to be on stage for?
39:44I'm supposed to be on stage for 10 minutes.
39:47But I figure the applause will cover the rest of it.
39:49Oh, absolutely.
39:50Standing ovation.
39:51Maybe a couple of songs.
39:53All right.
39:53Sean, I'm sure you watched season one of this show.
39:56And...
39:58Earlier this year, back in season one, I met this young man.
40:02Mm-hmm.
40:03We have someone in the audience, a special guest that's in there.
40:06Sir, could you tell us what your name is, please?
40:08My name is Sam Pang.
40:10It's Sam Pang.
40:13And is it true that you're a teacher?
40:15Completely true, yeah.
40:16Your name's Sam Pang?
40:17Correct.
40:17I've actually got some of your mail as well.
40:23So, a lovely young man.
40:25Um, now since Sam Pang, the teacher, came into my world, I figured I'd return the favour
40:30and teach one of his classes.
40:34I think it went pretty well.
40:36Sam, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little bit nervous.
40:38When I was at school, I was the only Asian kid who used to copy answers off the white kids.
40:42Well, it's changed since then, Sam.
40:43Just get in there.
40:53Okay, one rule in my class is, if you put up your hand, be careful of the angle.
40:57I don't want it to turn into a salute.
40:59It's a legal mistake.
41:00Okay?
41:01By the way, what's this class?
41:02Business.
41:03Business.
41:04Got a text?
41:04Yeah.
41:05Great.
41:08Don't worry about business.
41:09Business will get you nowhere.
41:10I've got some life lessons for you.
41:12Just remember this.
41:12The first rule of Fire Club is we don't talk about Fire Club.
41:16Okay?
41:16Any questions?
41:17I do, Mr. Pang.
41:18Please.
41:19Mr. Pang was my father.
41:20You can call me Mr. Entertainment.
41:22Actually, that's Richard Wilkins.
41:24Your leader, Sensei or Poe.
41:27Okay, general knowledge.
41:28Who can tell me who this fan is?
41:30Um, that's Mr. Miyagi.
41:33No.
41:33This is the Prime Minister of Japan.
41:35What are they teaching you in this class?
41:37Alright, I've actually got some questions for you if that's okay.
41:39What does skibbity toilet mean?
41:42You're so skibbity.
41:42You're so skibbity?
41:44Skibbity toiletries.
41:44Or you're so skibbity toiletries?
41:47Toiletries?
41:47Toiletries?
41:48Like charisma?
41:49Simp.
41:49You're kind of a simp.
41:50I'm kind of a simp.
41:52You're like a simp for saying.
41:54Simp.
41:56Alright, remember these three things and you'll be fine.
41:59One, never buy the sushi from a server.
42:02Two, keep this in mind when you're studying that by the time you graduate,
42:06due to AI, there'll be no jobs left anyway.
42:08And three, no adult has any clue about anything they're doing in their life.
42:14And they're lying if they tell you otherwise.
42:16Now you know what to do.
42:24Good.
42:26Just keep an eye on the angle of that salute.
42:28And take the rest of the day off.
42:30Simp.
42:35Thank you, Sean.
42:39That's right.
42:40We teachers really are heroes.
42:43Take that, nurses.
42:46A big thanks to Sam Pang and his Year 11 business class.
42:49The Wheel of Segments is up next.
42:51Stick around.
43:13Welcome back to Sam Pang tonight.
43:15But just before we go and just before our time's finished, it's time now for the Wheel of Segments.
43:21Last segment.
43:23That's right.
43:25Whoa.
43:26Look at that.
43:27Brought to you by NCIS Wagga Wagga.
43:32And Contagious Georgia's Topical Ointments.
43:35Look out for that.
43:36Now we all know how it works, Sean.
43:37Whatever the wheel lands on determines the next segment.
43:40So I'll give it a spin.
43:41Hey, what do you think?
43:41Let's just go there.
43:43What was that?
43:44That's terrible.
43:44Well, it gets going.
43:45It's got an interesting momentum, by the way.
43:47I know that Sean juggles a chainsaw is one I'm sure that you'll be looking out for.
43:51I don't know if there's...
43:53Yeah, you're ready to go.
43:54That's good.
43:54Yeah, I know.
43:54Alright.
43:55Here we go.
43:58That's Rickshaw Karaoke.
43:59Of course, it landed on that last week, Sean.
44:01Was it a good segment?
44:01It was a good segment.
44:02Imagine if it landed there again.
44:04Oh, that would be...
44:06That's easier.
44:07See, I told you, you wouldn't want me to spin it any further.
44:10So that's...
44:10I think it's landed on...
44:11Oh, no.
44:13It's landed on...
44:15It's...
44:15It's been a long time coming, but...
44:17I guess it's finally time to play what is about to become Australia's favourite game
44:21show, Slur or Not a Slur, with your host, Sean McKayla.
44:27Is it offensive?
44:28Do you concur?
44:30It's Slur or Not a Slur.
44:35Thank you very much indeed.
44:37Thanks, Sam.
44:37This is wonderful.
44:38What a great opportunity.
44:40Welcome back to Slur or Not a Slur.
44:42Can you feel how nervous the audience is, Sean?
44:45It's okay.
44:45This is a safe space.
44:47Safe hands, too.
44:47A safe pair of hands.
44:48We've got to...
44:49Absolutely.
44:50We've got merch as well, alright?
44:51Available on the World Wide Web.
44:53There it is now.
44:53Look at that.
44:54Over there in the gift shop?
44:55Yes, over there.
44:56Stand in the gift shop and we'll do another cutaway.
44:59It'll look great.
44:59It'll look great.
45:00There's the gift shop.
45:02They're not terribly well lit.
45:04Come on, come on, come on.
45:04Sorry about that.
45:05Now, you know how it works.
45:06Yes.
45:06I say a word and then you guess slur or not a slur.
45:09It's pretty simple, isn't it?
45:10Okay.
45:10I'll put it into a sentence first.
45:12Okay.
45:12I'm ready.
45:12Uh, yes.
45:13There were too many Google Huffs at the party.
45:17There were too many Google Huffs at the party.
45:20The word is Google Huff.
45:23What are you thinking, Sam?
45:24What do you think?
45:25What do you reckon?
45:26Uh...
45:27You nervous?
45:27Yeah, I am.
45:28I am nervous.
45:29What's the audience think?
45:31Yes, we can ask the audience.
45:32What does the audience think?
45:33Slur or not a...
45:34There's a lot of not a slurs.
45:36I think it's equally...
45:37I think I'm going to go with that.
45:39There's a lot of not a slurs in the audience.
45:40Sean, I'm going to go with lock in, not a slur.
45:43Are you sure?
45:44I'm sure.
45:45You're going to lock in, not a slur.
45:46And you are...
45:48Correct.
45:50Well done.
45:51A Google Huff is a type of German pastry.
45:54Nothing wrong with that.
45:55Nothing slurry about that.
45:56Nothing slurry at all.
45:57You want the next one?
45:58I can't wait.
45:59Okay, you're great.
46:00I'm ready.
46:00You're going for the big mamoo.
46:02Okay, here we go.
46:03Would you like it in a sentence again?
46:04Shall I start that off?
46:05That's a good idea.
46:05That's twice you've said mamoo to note, by the way.
46:07I didn't even know what it means.
46:08I don't either.
46:09It sounds like a slur, by the way.
46:11I'm ready.
46:11No, that's not the slur.
46:13Would you like it in a sentence?
46:14Yes, please.
46:14In a sentence.
46:16Sam, you are a huge...
46:28On the advice of legal counsel, I've been asked to read the following statement.
46:33Sam Bang Tonight, Network 10, Paramount Plus and CBS regret any and all distress or discomfort
46:40sustained during the previous segment.
46:42The network lawyer would also like to remind viewers that the opinions of Sean McAuliffe
46:50do not reflect those of this show or the network.
46:53Sean, I'm sorry mate.
46:55You're out.
46:55Contagious?
46:57Get him out of here mate.
47:00Out you go.
47:01Out you go.
47:02Yeah, alright.

47:07I arranged a very special surprise.
47:09Someone very special to come and see you.
47:11Really?
47:12Yes.
47:12Oh my god.
47:13Your mother.
47:26Happy birthday Sam.
47:28I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
47:31No, thank you.
47:31Thank you very much mum.
47:33Love you.
47:36Are you...
47:37I think I need help.
47:39Yeah, yeah.
47:40I've got it now.
47:41Okay.
47:41I can't think of a better way to finish the show than me holding a cake.

47:47Over here.
47:47Over here mum.

48:23Here, you go up.
48:24You go up.
48:25You go up.
