01:06Enjoy yourself.
01:06Welcome, everybody.
01:07Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show.
01:10You're here.
01:11This is it.
01:12This is the show we're gonna happen.
01:15Well, guys, according to reports,
01:17the Trump administration is close to a $500 million bailout
01:20to save Spirit Airlines.
01:23Yeah.
01:23The CEO of Spirit was like,
01:25with $500 million, our planes could have two wings again.
01:29Amazing.
01:32Yet without the bailout, Spirit Airlines was a few days away
01:35from becoming Spirit Halloween.
01:39If the bailout happens, the government will own 90% of Spirit.
01:42Ooh.
01:44Yeah.
01:44You'll know Trump owns Spirit Airlines
01:45when you could pay more for extra cankle room.
01:52You'll know Trump owns Spirit Airlines
01:54when they have a list of everyone who flew on the plane
01:56but won't release it.
02:04You know, there's one more.
02:06There's one more.
02:06You're gonna like it.
02:07All right.
02:08You'll know Trump owns Spirit Airlines
02:09when it lands in the Middle East
02:11and doesn't have an exit strategy.
02:12There you have it.
02:14That's what you do.
02:14That's how you do it.
02:16That's how you do it.
02:17Come on.
02:17That's how you do it.
02:18That's what you're doing.
02:18Come on.
02:19That's how you do it.
02:22Well, get this.
02:22I saw that Trump's approval rating
02:24just hit a new low of 32%.
02:27Trump was like,
02:28Is it because?
02:29And everyone was like,
02:29Yes.
02:31All of that.
02:32Yeah.
02:34Yep.
02:34Trump's numbers are so down
02:35he just asked Spirit Airlines for a bailout.
02:41Meanwhile, I read that Trump
02:42has made a naughty and nice list
02:43of NATO allies he wants to punish
02:45who refuse to support the Iran war.
02:48Yep.
02:49It'll backfire when Trump tells France,
02:50You're naughty.
02:51And they're like,
02:51Oh, yes, we are naughty.
02:54Oh.
02:55Oh.
02:56Punish us.
03:00Yeah, this weekend, by the way,
03:01is Melania Trump's birthday,
03:03and the president is excited to celebrate,
03:05but I thought this message you released
03:06was a bit odd.
03:07Take a look at this.
03:08This Saturday is my wife Melania's birthday,
03:11but since I have no gift ideas,
03:13just like the Iran ceasefire,
03:15I'm officially extending the deadline,
03:17and that's not all.
03:18I'm also extending the deadline
03:19for Mother's Day a month.
03:21Also, I'm moving my birthday
03:23and Father's Day up to tomorrow,
03:25so buy me a gift.
03:26No combos.
03:27They call me President Jock Jams,
03:29because when it comes to deadlines,
03:31I like to move it, move it.
03:33Okay, solved it.
03:34Bye.
03:39Move it.
03:39Wow.
03:42Wow.
03:42Well, guys, in the past two weeks,
03:44three members of Congress
03:45have resigned for misconduct.
03:47It's got lawmakers talking about what they'd do
03:50if they suddenly didn't have their jobs.
03:52For instance, first,
03:53Congressman David Schweikert said,
03:54I'd pursue my dream job,
03:56Keebler Elf.
03:59Then, Congressman Jeff Van Drew said,
04:01No way, same here.
04:04Then, Congressman Mike Rogers said,
04:06I'd drive off on a convertible
04:07to feel the wind in my very real hair.
04:11Then, Congressman Chuck Edwards said,
04:13No way, same here.
04:18Next, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman said,
04:21I'd audition to play a wacky professor
04:23in the new Harry Potter suit.
04:25Then, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro said,
04:27No way, same here.
04:30Next.
04:35Next, Congressman Pete Sessions said,
04:37I'd try to get cast in a Cialis commercial
04:39where I'd take a kayak out in the lake.
04:42And Congressman John Carter said,
04:44No way, same here.
04:46Next, Congresswoman Sherry Biggs said,
04:48Easy, I'd become the greatest injury attorney in 1985.
04:53Then, Congresswoman Ann Wagner said,
04:55No way, same here.
04:57Next, Congressman Hal Rogers said,
05:00I'd play my favorite childhood game,
05:01Hoop and Stick.
05:03And Congressman Lloyd Doggett said,
05:05No way, same here.
05:06Next, Congressman Scott DeJarlais said,
05:09I'd throw on sunglasses and trick people
05:11into thinking I'm Pitbull.
05:13Then, Congressman Keith Self said,
05:15No way, same here.
05:18This is what they would do if they didn't have a job.
05:21That's all they would do.
05:23Play Stick, play Hoop and Stick.
05:24He would put on sunglasses and trick people
05:26into thinking he used to.
05:28That's his retirement plan.
05:29That's what his retirement plan would do.
05:30And the other guys as well.
05:32If he didn't have a job.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Next, Congressman Michael Guest said,
05:35I would stand outside your bedroom window
05:37and whisper,
05:37Night, night.
05:42Then, Congressman Bill Keating said,
05:44No way, same here.
05:46And Congressman Pat Harrigan said,
05:48I'd ask women at Ann Taylor
05:50if they're finding everything all right,
05:51even though I don't work there.
05:53Then, Congressman Michael Rulli said,
05:55No way, same here.
05:57And Congressman Trent Kelly said,
05:59I'd try Taco Bell's new Diablo nuggets
06:01and destroy the bathroom.
06:04And Congressman Chuck Fleissman said,
06:06No way, same here.
06:09And finally, Congressman Jim Barrett said,
06:11way ahead of you guys.
06:13They have interesting plans.
06:14They all have interesting plans.
06:19It's interesting.
06:20No, yeah.
06:20They have to have plans.
06:23Well, some business news.
06:24Apple announced that after 15 years,
06:26Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO
06:28and will be replaced by John Ternus.
06:31It was easy to shut Cook down.
06:33They just pressed on both sides of his head
06:34at the same time.
06:39Yep, Cook will be replaced
06:40as CEO by John Ternus.
06:42And annoyingly, Ternus has
06:43a completely different charger.
06:48Come on.
06:49You've got to be kidding.
06:50You've got to be kidding me.
06:51You don't have to...

09:56Behind the curtain will be something
09:57neither of us has seen before.
09:59Could be people, objects, anything.
10:02Once the curtain opens and you pick up your card,
10:04you'll have 45 seconds to try and get the other person
10:07to guess what's behind them.
10:08You can say anything you want. You can use gestures.
10:11You just can't say any of the words on your card.
10:14Okay? It's fun.
10:16Charlize, you'll be...
10:18You'll be guessing first.
10:20Let's get into position.
10:21Is it guess first?
10:22Yes, you're a guess for it. Here we go.
10:23Oh, no.
10:24Look at this. Look at this technology.
10:26Look at this technology.

11:16A bow?
11:17Yes.
11:17A bow and arrow?
11:18Yes, yes, yes.
11:19And there's a fruit on top of someone's head.
11:22Oh, Betsy Ross is shooting an apple with an arrow off somebody's head?
11:26Kind of.
11:27No, but the person she's hitting it off of apparently has a number one album.
11:32He's a big pop star.

19:02How are your kids doing?
19:03They're just, like, teenagers.
19:05How old are yours?
19:0512. 12 and 11.
19:07Not quite teenagers.
19:08Yeah, so 11 and 14.
19:09Oh, yeah. All right, we're in the same window, yeah.
19:11Real?
19:13Real? It's like The Exorcism, yeah.
19:14Oh, stop!
19:17I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
19:18Do they know how talented their mom is?
19:20Do they watch your movies?
19:22No. No. No.
19:23They don't watch your movies?
19:24They... No. I don't... I mean, maybe.
19:27I don't really ask. Like, hey, have you seen...
19:29Um, they... My...
19:32My 14-year-old came home the other day from school,
19:36and she's just, like, she has this look on her face
19:38like she just smelled a fart at all times now.
19:40It's, like, the teenage day, you know, like, everything's annoying.
19:42Yeah.
19:43And she's just, like, she's like,
19:45what were you doing all day?
19:47It's like, I was working.
19:48She goes, what is your work?
19:52I said, I'm making movies.
19:53She's like, but you were just here all day?
19:56It's like, yeah, I was on the phone, and I had Zoom meetings.
19:59I'm going to the production office.
20:01She's like, I went to school all day.
20:06I did something.
20:07Yeah.
20:07You were on the phone? You're not making movies here in the house?
20:10Yeah. No. Like, no idea.
20:12They think I'm in bed all day.
20:14It takes a lot of work to make these movies.
20:17Yes.
20:17And to be Charlize Theron.
20:19Come on, ladies and gentlemen. This is the one and only.
20:21We won't win Oscars. We don't give them away.
20:24See, it's like, neutralizes it.
20:27I get beat up by the 14-year-old, then I come here,
20:29and you guys are nice.
20:30Yeah, see? Yeah, we are. Yeah, you got to humble.
20:32Oh, you know, we've known each other a long time.
20:35Yeah. 26 years ago, we first did SNL together.
20:38Yep. You were Marilyn Monroe.
20:39I was Joe DiMaggio.
20:41Do you remember?
20:42I do remember that so vividly and very fondly.
20:45You were so nice. Oh, really?
20:47Yeah, I was so nervous.
20:49I'm, like, actually not really good with that stuff,
20:51and you were so kind.
20:52I remember that I had to wear, like, platform shoes
20:54because you're so tall.
20:56And I had to be the same height.
20:58I remember your teeth kept falling out.
21:04I was wearing fake teeth.
21:06Yes. Oh, yes!
21:07My teeth kept falling out through my lines.
21:09And I was, like, trying to do my honor.
21:10Oh, my God, you kept, like, shoving them back in.
21:14I could not keep it.
21:15I'm sorry about that. Yeah, I apologize.
21:17It was amazing.
21:20Yeah, we're doing hard work.
21:22Oh, yes, we were. Yes, yeah.
21:23I want to talk about Apex.
21:25Congratulations on this. Thank you.
21:26This is a thrilling, wild ride.
21:28It's a great movie.
21:30Super fun.
21:31Thrilling, scary.
21:33How do we set up the movie and who you play?
21:36It is a thriller, action, psychological thriller.
21:42It's, you know, sitting on the edge of your seat,
21:44not being able to breathe for about an hour and 40.
21:47And it's a good time.
21:49I mean, seriously, here's a shot of you.
21:50This is a scene. You're rock climbing.
21:53Yeah. You're a rock climber in this...
21:55Yeah, my character is a rock climber.
21:57And she goes into the Australian outback
21:59to kind of have a bit of a...
22:02She's emotionally kind of torn,
22:04and so she has to kind of go and find herself again.
22:06Yeah. And she does with a serial killer.
22:08Yeah. By the way, he's fantastic.
22:11He... Oh, Taron Edgerton is this.
22:12Taron Edgerton is great in this.
22:15Yeah, he's my buddy in this.
22:16Yeah. You shot on Location in Australia.
22:18We did. It's gorgeous, huh?
22:20Oh, beautiful. Oh, my God.
22:21It's where you would imagine a serial killer would chase you.
22:24It's that gorgeous.
22:25It's that gorgeous?
22:26It would shock you.
22:27It's just so isolated.
22:29There's, like, we had to hike an hour into Location.
22:32Then we would shoot all day.
22:34I'd climb a whole mountain.
22:35Then we would hike all the way out again.
22:38No.
22:38Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very far.
22:40Yeah, but also, isn't there...
22:41I love Australia. I've never been, but I'm afraid,
22:44because I think there's, like, spiders and stuff.
22:46Yes. Oh.
22:47And sharks.
22:48Yes.
22:49Like, in the pool. Swimming pool.
22:51They have them in...
22:52In Australia, there's sharks in your pool.
22:55You got to be careful.
22:56Yeah, and snakes. Getting your information mixed up.
22:58And snakes.
22:59Oh, my God. So many snakes.
23:01There are snakes, right?
23:01So many snakes.
23:02We have, like, 17 snake handlers at all times.
23:05You did?
23:06Yes, we have a lot... And then, during the day,
23:07you could, like, walk by them and peek in the bag
23:09and see all the snakes they've been catching.
23:11They're just right there, where we're shooting.
23:12What do they do with the snakes in the bath?
23:14So, they dump them on another part of the wilderness,
23:18and then we ended up shooting in that part of the wilderness.
23:23Because nobody told the snake wrangler
23:25that we were going to shoot there.
23:27So, they dumped, like, 400 snakes over there,
23:29and I had to do a running shot,
23:31and they made me go so far into, like,
23:34this big wide shot of me running.
23:35And everything goes quiet.
23:36Camera's about to roll.
23:37And I just hear...
23:40I know.
23:41Stop.
23:41I look back.
23:43But did you... What were you supposed to do?
23:45I did everything wrong.
23:47What are you supposed to do?
23:47You're supposed to just be very calm, very still.
23:50Yes.
23:50I screamed so loud.
23:52I ran so fast.
23:54It ran so far. Yeah, you do the opposite
23:55of everything you're supposed to do.
23:56Everything, yes.
23:57Well, they could have used that shot in the movie,
23:59because, yeah.
24:00They were very concerned.
24:01Yes.
24:01You guys are going to love this.
24:02I want to show a clip.
24:03Here's Charlize Theron in Apex.
24:05Take a look.
24:24Ah!
24:34Ah!
24:36Ah!
24:36Oh!
24:55Yeah!
24:58Charlize Theron, everybody!
25:01Apex begins streaming on Netflix this Friday.
25:05We'll be right back with more tonight, Joe, everybody.
25:07Stick around!
25:24Our next guest stars in and executive produces
25:28the series Boston Blue, which airs every Friday
25:31at 10 p.m. on CBS and streams on Paramount+.
25:34Please welcome, Donnie Wahlberg!
25:47Hey!
25:50Whoa!
25:52Ha, ha, ha!
25:56That's Donnie Wahlberg!
25:58That's what I'm talking about!
25:59Thank you for doing that! Thank you!
26:02That's Donnie Wahlberg right there!
26:04Come on!
26:05That's how you do it!
26:07That is how you do it!
26:08Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
26:11Oh, my God!
26:13It is great to see you. Thank you for doing that.
26:15The sixth new kid.
26:17Yeah! Yeah, right.
26:18Done! Thank you for doing the dance!
26:20Thank you! Thank your audience!
26:22Thank you, Roots! Thank you, everybody!
26:25Is it like when they put up the bat signal,
26:27your body just goes into the dance?
26:29You got to do it?
26:30You know, I got to be honest.
26:31As I get older, I enjoy it more.
26:35Is that right?
26:36When I was younger, like, I'd go to a Celtics game
26:38or something, and they'd start playing.
26:39Oh, oh. And I'd be like,
26:40I just want to watch the game.
26:42And, like, someone would scream from this side of the balcony,
26:45and someone would call me a loser.
26:46Donnie, you're a loser!
26:48From, you know, this side.
26:49That's great.
26:49And as I get older, I really embrace it.
26:51I really love it.
26:51Yeah, come on.
26:53You're the best, yeah.
26:55You've done it, man.
26:58Your debut album turned 40 years old this month.
27:02Wow.
27:05Do you ever think...
27:08Did you ever think this kid would become such a big deal?
27:13Look at this.
27:13Not with that sweater.
27:15Yeah. No, he's so cool.
27:16No, it's C3. You can see my chest, and I'm, like, 14.
27:19It's just weird.
27:20But, uh, it was, uh...
27:22Here we are 40 years later, it's bigger than ever.
27:24I believed the band would be successful,
27:26if for no other reason.
27:27Maurice Starr, who discovered us, discovered New Edition,
27:31and they went on to huge success,
27:32and he just kept saying,
27:33let's go, you're gonna be huge, you're gonna be huge.
27:34And we're like, all right.
27:35Yeah, you're a little kid.
27:36What does that mean?
27:37This already is so exciting.
27:38We're in a hotel room.
27:39Yeah, and, uh, and, yes, it's...
27:41I'm blown away every day that we're still doing it,
27:44that fans still show up, that I'm sitting here.
27:47Like, none of this, uh...
27:49It never gets old to me.
27:51I still kind of pinch myself.
27:53I know from those days, we grew up with nothing.
27:55You know, we had nothing.
27:56All of us.
27:57Nobody in the group.
27:57We all came from very humble beginnings.
28:00Yeah.
28:00And to have succeeded at all was a miracle.
28:03But to be here, it's a blessing that beyond...
28:05Starr, I mean, you have a Las Vegas residency.
28:07Yeah, yeah.
28:09Here you are with Elvis.
28:11With Vegas Elvis. Fantastic Elvis right there.
28:14Uh, what's that like?
28:16Out in Vegas?
28:16Vegas is incredible.
28:17Our fans are coming from all around the world.
28:19Uh, the show is spectacular.
28:21I hear that it's great.
28:22Yeah, it's really, really good.
28:24And, um, we're just...
28:25We're blessed.
28:26We're gonna update it now,
28:27because we've been there for a year doing it.
28:28We're gonna add some new stuff.
28:29I know there's some blockheads in the audience.
28:31I saw them during the other segment.
28:33We're gonna...
28:34Shout-out to the blockheads.
28:35That's right.
28:36We're gonna spice it up a lot.
28:37Yeah!
28:37We love you!
28:38Uh, let's talk about your new show.
28:40Congratulations on this.
28:41Boston Blue.
28:42It's fantastic.
28:43It's a spin-off of Blue Bloods.
28:45And this time, your character moves to Boston.
28:47Yeah.
28:47And you're famously from Boston.
28:48I will say this, by the way.
28:50As I went to say hi to you before the show,
28:51in your dressing room, you had...
28:53You were drinking a Dunkin'.
28:54Yeah.
28:54And we had donuts, too.
28:56We had actually Dunkin' donuts.
28:57It's not fake.
28:58He's really...
28:59He's the most realist person I know.
29:01And I was like, I love it.
29:02But on the show, you play...
29:03Your character, Danny, is from Brooklyn.
29:05Yes.
29:06So I'm a Bostonian playing a New Yorker
29:08moving to Boston.
29:10If you don't win the Emmy,
29:11then I don't know what we're doing wrong, buddy.
29:13I'll settle for a blockbuster video award at this point.
29:16But, I mean, how do you...
29:17Do you slip into the Boston accent by mistake?
29:20A little bit.
29:21It happens now more so than before,
29:23because I was surrounded by New Yorkers
29:25when I was playing Danny Reagan in New York.
29:27So I was constantly on my toes,
29:28and they'd laugh at me if Boston ever slipped out.
29:31And they would torment me, by the way,
29:32if, like, the Celtics lost to the Knicks
29:34or the Patriots lost to the Giants.
29:35That's what we do to each other.
29:36I know. It's brutal.
29:37But this show is a giant hit already.
29:39It's already been renewed for season two.
29:41So congratulations.
29:42Boston Blue.
29:43Great name, too.
29:44Yeah.
29:45Boston Blue is great.
29:46We just...
29:47First things first, we have the most incredible cast.
29:49Yeah. Everybody.
29:50My partner, Sonequa Martin-Green, incredible.
29:52Gloria Rubin, Ernie Hudson, Marcus Scribner,
29:55Mika Amundsen, Maggie Lawson.
29:57It's just... It's incredible.
29:58And we're having such a good time.
29:59The writers are great, too.
30:00The writers are great.
30:01And this Friday's episode is unbelievable.
30:04We have Jefferson White from Yellowstone
30:07is playing a hostage taker.
30:10And it's just... It's an unbelievable episode.
30:12So we're just really excited.
30:13It was hard to follow in the footsteps of Blue Bloods.
30:15Of course.
30:16And a lot of people thought,
30:17oh, it's a no-brainer.
30:18It was like, yeah, but if it fails, you know,
30:20we'll never hear the end of it.
30:21And so we're very relieved,
30:22and we really made it our own show.
30:24And I love the cast.
30:25I love the writers.
30:25We're blessed beyond belief.
30:27And it's a wonderful time.
30:28You got another hit on your hands, buddy.
30:30I want to show a clip.
30:31Here's Donnie Wahlberg in Boston Blue.
30:34Take a look at this.
30:35Sean wouldn't stop talking about it,
30:37so I caved and joined.
30:39You joined TikTok on purpose?
30:41I did.
30:42And it's low-key incredible.
30:44Low-key?
30:44If you start shooting TikToks and MCU,
30:46I'm gonna send you back to Brooklyn.
30:48We would do some good videos together,
30:49you and I. I'm just saying.
30:51By the way, you know what skibbity means?
30:53No, I don't.
30:54And neither should you.
30:55We got to change with the times.
30:57Get along with the people that were policing.
30:58Danny Reagan, Gen Alpha Whisperer.
31:00Yeah, I like that.
31:03Come on.
31:04Donnie Wahlberg, everybody.
31:05You can catch a new episode of Boston Blue
31:08every Friday at 10 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+.
31:11Morgan Neville joins us after the break.
31:14Stick around, everybody!
31:15Let's do it!
31:30Our next guest is an Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker.
31:35His latest movie is called Lorne, and it's in theaters now.
31:38Everyone, please welcome Morgan Neville!
31:50Come on. That's so nice.
31:52Come on, now!
31:54All right.
31:54Oh, my gosh.
31:56Morgan Neville, welcome to the show.
31:57You're one of my favorite directors.
31:59And we actually met before.
32:01We did.
32:02You interviewed me for Lorne, for the documentary.
32:04You're in it.
32:05I'm in the documentary.
32:06I know that was my favorite part.
32:07You're great.
32:07Yeah.
32:09You do a doc on our pal, the great Lorne Michaels.
32:13And I got to say, that is a tough gig.
32:15It's incredibly hard.
32:17I mean, it's like trying to make a film about the Wizard of Oz.
32:19You know?
32:20It kind of is.
32:21He's an inscrutable character, and I had to scrute him somehow.
32:25Yeah.
32:26So...
32:26He doesn't like talking about himself.
32:28He's very humble, and he's just like, yeah.
32:30He just wants everything around him to kind of work.
32:32How did you find out that you were going to do this documentary?
32:35I don't even know how it happened.
32:37I never pitched him on making this film.
32:38He never agreed to make the film.
32:41But somehow, it happened.
32:43I mean, really, what happened is, you know,
32:45going back before SNL 50, before the 50th anniversary.
32:48Yeah.
32:48Years ago, three years ago, he said,
32:51well, let's meet and talk about documentary ideas.
32:54He said, come to my office.
32:55It was a show week.
32:57Nine o'clock, let's have a meeting.
32:58So I go into Lauren's office, nine o'clock,
33:01and there are 16 people in the room.
33:03And he said, so what are your ideas?
33:05And Higgins was in the room.
33:07All the senior writers, everybody.
33:09Oh, my God.
33:09And I just said, okay.
33:10I stand up.
33:11I start pitching all these ideas,
33:13and I'm just going and going.
33:14And I finish, and I sit down, and Lauren doesn't say anything.
33:18So then I said, so any thoughts?
33:21Any ideas?
33:21Yeah.
33:22And he turns to one of his producers and says,
33:23Caroline, what did you think?
33:25And she said, well, I thought there were some good things.
33:27Like, she didn't want to get called on.
33:29She tosses the hot potato to the next person.
33:31And then, finally, the meeting just ends,
33:33and I walk out with Katie Hochmeyer,
33:35the head of NBC late night.
33:36And I said, what just happened?
33:37She said, oh, he likes you.
33:40So I had this story that all the cast members tell.
33:43Yes.
33:44About getting hired and not knowing you got hired.
33:46Yeah.
33:46But you did such a great job.
33:48I mean, he's such an interesting guy.
33:50And when you're doing this, when you're talking to all these legends,
33:54you're talking to Chris Rock, you're talking to Mike Myers,
33:57do you get...
33:59I don't know.
34:00You don't get intimidated.
34:01But do you?
34:02Do you go, like, what?
34:03I'm talking to these comedies...
34:03I mean, they love talking about Lauren.
34:06You know, they're not talking about themselves.
34:07They're talking about somebody who, for most of them,
34:10completely changed their life.
34:12I mean, you're one of those people.
34:13Completely changed my life.
34:14I mean, NBC didn't really even want me to host Late Night.
34:18And this is true.
34:19And Lauren said, you have to do it with Jimmy.
34:22If you don't, then I'm not doing it.
34:23That's amazing.
34:24And he really went to bat for me.
34:25Yeah.
34:26I would not have the time.
34:27He's the best.
34:28And...
34:29For so many people.
34:31Oh, yeah.
34:31Conan.
34:32Conan O'Brien.
34:33You know, so many people.
34:35So many people.
34:35He gets their back.
34:36He's loyal.
34:37I think you captured him so perfectly.
34:39It's just...
34:40Everything about him is great.
34:42Did he get...
34:43Did he see the film?
34:44Because I don't think he's going...
34:45He told me the entire time he made this film,
34:47he was never going to watch the film.
34:49Yes.
34:49He always says, I'm never going to...
34:50I don't read anything.
34:51I don't watch anything.
34:52He doesn't watch SNL after it airs.
34:54That's the end of it.
34:54So, we had a premiere recently here in New York.
34:57Yeah.
34:58And there was a seat held open for him.
35:00And I didn't think he was going to watch it.
35:02After the movie ended, people started coming up to me
35:04and saying, Lauren watched the film.
35:05Lauren watched the film.
35:07And so, it blew my mind.
35:08So, there was a party afterwards,
35:10and Lauren's in this corner booth.
35:11And I walk up to him,
35:12and he nods at me and says,
35:13Good.
35:16Take the W.
35:17That is a five-star review.
35:19Take the W.
35:20That's a win right there.
35:21I want to show everyone a clip.
35:23Here's a look at Morgan Neville's documentary,
35:25Lauren.
35:26Enjoy.
35:27The questions you want to ask Lauren,
35:29I would ask other people,
35:30and then they'll give you a bunch of different answers,
35:33and then you can...
35:34Cut them together to funny music?
35:36Exactly.
35:36Do you know anything about his childhood?
35:42A suburb of Toronto?
35:44Uh-huh.
35:44Right?
35:45That's Canada.
35:46He liked hockey.
35:48Liked hockey.
35:49A lot of, like, outdoor hockey kind of stuff.
35:53Fishing and, you know, stuff like that.
35:56If you told me he made maple syrup, I would believe you.
35:58I guess I don't know what his dad did.
36:02We should ask him.
36:04We should, like, meet Lauren.
36:06Just talk to him.
36:08Yeah, you should meet Lauren.
36:09Yeah.
36:10It's fantastic.
36:11Congratulations.
36:12It is so great.
36:13Morgan Neville, everyone.
36:14His documentary, Lauren, is in theaters now.
36:17We'll be right back, everybody.

36:44Please welcome Ashley McBride!
37:00This is the part.
37:02We call it a night.
37:05You get in your car.
37:09I give in to mine.
37:11You're thinking about me.
37:14And I'm thinking about you.
37:17And we can go home alone.
37:20Like we always do.
37:22What if we don't?
37:25What if we don't?
37:29What if we stop fighting but we know we don't want?
37:35We might repent how far we let go.
37:40What if we don't?
37:43What if we don't?
37:47There's always a fear of going there now.
37:53Things getting weird if it don't work out.
37:59We might repent how far we let it go.
37:59This time we can't stop once it starts.
38:05We might end up breaking each other's hearts.
38:11What if we don't?
38:13What if we don't?
38:16What if we stop fighting but we know we won't fall?
38:22We might regret how far we let it go.
38:27What if we don't?
38:31I don't wanna overthink it.
38:34I gotta kiss you right now.
38:38I'm tired of thinking about you.
38:54What if we don't?
38:57What if we don't?
39:00What if we stop fighting but we know we won't fall?
39:06We might regret how far we let it go
39:11Yeah, we might regret how far we let it go
39:17What if we don't?
39:23What if we don't?
39:36We might regret how far we let it go
