00:05From 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York, it's Late Night with Seth Meyers.
00:12Tonight, Joe McHale.
00:14From Wuthering Heights, actress Alison Oliver.
00:18An all-new Closer Look.
00:25And now, Seth Meyers.
00:28Good evening, everybody. I'm Seth Meyers. This is Late Night.
00:31How's everybody doing tonight?
00:32And now, if you don't mind, we're going to get to the news.
00:35President Trump said in a new interview that border czar Tom Homan's immigration enforcement operation will be, quote,
00:41maybe a little bit more relaxed.
00:43Yeah, he seems chill.
00:44He looks like if a canned ham was mad at you.
00:51President Trump was set tonight to walk the red carpet at the premiere of First Lady Melania Trump's documentary,
00:57Melania.
00:57Well, not walk.
01:01That's right.
01:02President Trump attended the premiere of First Lady Melania Trump's documentary, Melania,
01:06and he would have applauded, but these things are hanging on by a thread.
01:12Oh!
01:15Oh, no!
01:18First Lady Melania Trump's documentary, Melania,
01:21is set to open tomorrow across 1,500 theaters in select markets.
01:24It's great news if you're looking for a place to hide out from ice.
01:31House Speaker Mike Johnson met yesterday with rapper Nicki Minaj.
01:35Oh, my God.
01:36Have there ever been two people with less to talk about?
01:39Oh, right.
01:42So, like, a documentary is like a what kind of movie?
01:47In a new interview, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that he has a Dr. Pepper for breakfast
01:53and added, quote,
01:54Oh, yeah, if RFK heard that, he'd spit out his possum.
02:04The footwear brand Birkenstock this week unveiled a new bridal collection,
02:08which features six sandals made with higher-quality materials.
02:13And for the groom, just kidding, there's no groom.
02:21A cat that escaped from his owner's camper at a gas station in Spain
02:25was recently found less than a mile from his home in France.
02:29He was able to make his way home by following the stench of cat piss.
02:37Our head writer, Alex Bess, hates cats so much.
02:42And finally, today was actor Tom Selleck's 81st birthday.
02:45He'll spend it like all 81-year-olds by being tricked into a reverse mortgage.
02:51That was a monologue, everybody!
02:54We have started our show.
02:57We got a great one for you tonight.
02:58You know him from shows like Community, The Bear, and House of Villains.
03:03He's currently starring in Animal Control,
03:05which airs Thursday nights on Fox
03:06and streams the next day on Hulu.
03:08My very good friend Joel McHale is back on the show.
03:12He's a fantastic actress.
03:14He's seen in Salt, Burn, Task, Conversation with Friends.
03:17Next season, Wuthering Heights, which is in theaters February 13th.
03:21Alison Oliver will be joining us.
03:24Before we get to all that,
03:27after Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was attacked at a town hall event,
03:31Donald Trump did his usual thing
03:32where he couldn't help but say something insane about it.
03:34I guess it's just a normal part of our lives now
03:36that whenever something happens in the news,
03:38the president will just have a crazy take on it.
03:40Timothee Chalamet wins the Oscar.
03:42Trump will probably tweet,
03:43Marty's mustache is a fake.
03:46For more on this, it's time for a closer look.
03:52Trump held a meeting with members of his cabinet today,
03:55which he might think is important
03:56given that several of them are under fire
03:58for being incompetent and or unpopular.
04:00But actually, the president wanted to make clear,
04:02if you see him close his eyes at this meeting,
04:05it is not because he's asleep.
04:07It is because he is bored.
04:09We're not going to go through the whole table
04:11because the last time we had a press conference,
04:13it lasted for three hours.
04:16And some people said he closed his eyes.
04:20Look, it got pretty boring.
04:22But I didn't sleep.
04:23I just closed them because I wanted to get the hell out of here.
04:27Some of them, I didn't sleep, by the way.
04:30Well, it sounds like you put together one hell of a cabinet.
04:34At least it's nice to finally find some common ground with Trump.
04:37I mean, when these weirdos start talking,
04:39I don't want to literally be anywhere else.
04:41Am I right?
04:43Now, if you read the news when you woke up this morning,
04:45you might be wondering why there were so little social media activity
04:49from the president of the United States.
04:50Well, according to senior sources inside the White House,
04:53the president was up all night in his study,
04:55scouring briefing books on complicated geopolitical topics
04:58and consulting trusted experts on thorny scientific
05:00and sociopolitical issues.
05:02And I'm just with you.
05:03He was posting, like, a lot.
05:05Like, all night.
05:07That's only half of what he posted.
05:09We couldn't even get to the rest.
05:10Our graphics team didn't have the time or the space.
05:14Now, most of it was the usual brainworm stuff,
05:17attacking Canada, obsessing over Greenland,
05:19accusing Barack Obama of treason.
05:20But he also reposted some rando claiming that Walmart
05:23is closing 250 stores in California,
05:26citing the state's $22 minimum wage.
05:28Now, Walmart has about 300 stores in California,
05:31so closing 250, then, would be a huge deal,
05:33mainly because it would mean California
05:35would suddenly have 250 Spirit Halloweens.
05:39In reality, California's minimum wage
05:41is $16.90, not $22.
05:43And Walmart says the mass closure claim is fake.
05:46In fact, it just opened a news store
05:48in California last month.
05:49It is deeply and consistently a bummer
05:51how often the president is wrong about
05:52because there is no excuse.
05:54You know who you can always get in touch with
05:56when you're the president?
05:58Someone who knows what the they're talking about.
06:01But, of course, he doesn't care about being wrong.
06:03He throws slop into the world confidently,
06:05knowing it'll stick to some people and not to others.
06:07And then we'll all forget
06:08because we have to focus on his next insane lie.
06:10The office of the president
06:11should be a trusted public resource.
06:13It should be like Google Maps.
06:14Instead, our current president is like Apple Maps,
06:16the old one.
06:18You know, you type in point A and point B,
06:20and it says, make a left,
06:21drive 50 miles to the nearest lake,
06:23swim to the bottom,
06:24find the missing ballots that Obama stole from Georgia,
06:26then merge onto the interstate,
06:28but get off before California
06:29because all the Walmarts are closed.
06:33Just take.
06:35Please, for me,
06:37just take Trump's recent claims about Ilhan Omar.
06:40Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is worth over $30 million.
06:44There is no way such wealth
06:46could have been accumulated legally
06:48while being paid the salary of a politician.
06:52President Trump posted on Truth Social
06:53that the DOJ is, quote,
06:55looking at Omar.
06:56He claims she left Somalia with nothing
06:58and is now worth, quote, $44 million.
07:02Wait, she went from $30 million to $44 million?
07:05She made $14 million in one week.
07:07What did she do, invest in some Trump family crypto?
07:10Oh, you know what?
07:11Maybe she finally sold all those libubus
07:13she's always carrying around.
07:15Each of those bad boys is worth at least a million
07:17on the secondary market,
07:18especially chestnut cocoa.
07:19I have been buying those and hoarding them
07:22as an investment to pay for my kid's college education.
07:25Unfortunately, I have since discovered
07:27that many of them are knockoffs.
07:29Turns out someone just glued the head
07:30of a Cabbage Patch doll
07:31onto the body of a Tickle Me Elmo.
07:35I was worried something was wrong when I tickled it,
07:37and instead of laughing, it said this.
07:39Get your hands off me.
07:46The riot has been spreading deranged lies
07:47about Omar for years,
07:48and then on Tuesday,
07:50someone who reportedly believed those lies
07:52tried to attack Omar at a town hall.
07:54Breaking news here in Minneapolis.
07:55Just moments ago,
07:56a man rushed Democratic Congresswoman Ilan Omar
07:59while she was speaking at a town hall event.
08:01The incident captured on video.
08:02You see, the approach to Congresswoman
08:04sprayed or squirts an unknown substance toward her.
08:08DHS Secretary Kristi Noem
08:10must resign or face impeachment.
08:20Wow, she was ready to throw down.
08:23I don't think I've ever seen a member of Congress
08:25square up like that.
08:26I mean, Josh Hawley raised a fist on January 6th,
08:29but when they actually got near him,
08:30he ran away like he heard a...
08:33...heard a bear in a woodshed.
08:36Omar explained what happened afterward
08:37and sought to reassure everyone
08:38that, yes, she was, in fact, ready to kick some ass.
08:41There was, like, some liquid thing
08:43that I, at the moment, thought it was, like, a spit.
08:47And so I, you know, instinctively
08:51tried to, like, punch him, basically,
08:54for trying to spit on me.
08:55You thought he was spitting?
08:56Yes.
08:57Because there's some liquid that hit my folder
09:03and the podium,
09:04and then I could feel maybe something...
09:07You thought a guy had come up and spit at you.
09:08That's what I thought.
09:10Obviously, security tackled him.
09:11It looks like he...
09:13Yeah, I wasn't able to make contact with him.
09:15You did not, yes.
09:16Although that image has gotten everywhere today.
09:19Yeah, he was saved by the security.
09:22He...
09:23He was saved by her security.
09:28But if you think about her politics,
09:29you've got to admit that's pretty baller.
09:31It's like in a Fast and Furious movie
09:32when Vin Diesel drives off a cliff and says,
09:34Don't worry, the cliff was fine.
09:38Compare Omar's reaction when an actual person
09:40attacked her at a town hall
09:41to Trump's reaction when he was attacked by a bird.
09:45Get this bird out of here.
09:47He thinks my hair is a nest.
09:49And that's a classic 2016 Donald Trump hair joke.
09:54Classic 2016 hair joke.
09:59But, of course, in Trump's mind,
10:00only he can be a victim.
10:02If anything happens to anyone else,
10:03it must be a fake or a conspiracy.
10:05President Trump responding overnight,
10:07saying he has not seen the video of the incident,
10:09but calling Omar a fraud,
10:11telling ABC News she probably had herself sprayed knowing her.
10:15Hey, man, I wouldn't make accusations
10:17with regards to having yourself sprayed.
10:19You always look like you just got sprayed
10:21by one of the Joker's poison flowers.
10:25You think the whole thing was staged?
10:26That a sitting member of Congress and her allies
10:29planned a fake attack to, I don't know,
10:31create sympathy for her,
10:32and the best plan they could come up with
10:34was have a guy spray liquid
10:35and then immediately get tackled?
10:37Yeah, we had weeks to plan the whole thing.
10:39We filled a spray bottle with apple cider vinegar
10:40and to make sure the guy got tackled,
10:42we hired a former quarterback for the New York Jets.
10:46Trump was also asked if he had seen the video,
10:48and he showed his usual level of curiosity.
10:51When asked if the president had seen the video
10:53of this man lunge and spray
10:55what a law enforcement source believes
10:57is apple cider vinegar at the Congresswoman,
10:58the president said, quote,
11:00I hope I don't have to bother.
11:01I hope I don't have to bother?
11:03I'm sorry, are you too busy with something more important?
11:06Like posting 50 times in one night
11:08or tracking the number of Walmarts in all 50 states?
11:11Trump and MAGA always think anything
11:13that doesn't fit neatly within their preconceived worldview
11:15must be fake,
11:16the same way that Trump thinks the 2020 election
11:18must have been stolen,
11:19even though he lost over 60 court cases,
11:21or how he and his cronies
11:23claim the resistance to brutal ice tactics in Minnesota
11:25must be orchestrated by some shadowy, nefarious group.
11:29I think, frankly, they're professional agitators.
11:33And I'd like to find out,
11:34and we are going to find out who's paying for it
11:37with their brand new signs and all the different things.
11:40Our Steve Harrigan, you know, who's covered many wars,
11:42said that in his own observations,
11:44it feels incredibly organized.
11:47These people know each other.
11:48They know where to go.
11:50What do you know about this?
11:51That's right.
11:52And I can tell you what I observed when I was there.
11:54It's extremely organized.
11:56The signs they have are all matching.
11:57They're well-written.
11:59And look at what's happening today.
12:00How did these people go out and get gas masks,
12:04these protesters?
12:05Would you know how to walk out on the street
12:06and buy a gas mask right now?
12:07All right, first of all,
12:08you can literally go on Amazon
12:10and buy a gas mask right now,
12:11which is great,
12:12because I can go to Amazon
12:14to rent the new Melania documentary
12:15and also buy a gas mask when I watch it,
12:17because I bet it's going to stink.
12:19Also, I have to go back to this part.
12:22The signs they have are all matching.
12:24They're well-written.
12:25Your smoking gun is that the signs are well-written?
12:29That says more about you than it says about them.
12:32It must be organized.
12:33For one thing, unlike our ICE agents,
12:35they can actually read and write.
12:36It's an unfair advantage.
12:38The signs don't have any typos or misspelling.
12:40No one accidentally wrote,
12:42Make America Great Again.
12:46But my favorite part, by far, is this.
12:48It feels incredibly organized.
12:50These people know each other.
12:52It feels organized because they all know each other?
12:55Are you all just now discovering the concept of friends?
13:01It's incredibly suspicious.
13:02They all spend time together
13:03meeting up at their secret headquarters,
13:05a place called Chili's.
13:06Who meets at a restaurant named after a foreign country?
13:10The secret organization behind them even has a name.
13:12fomenting riots and insurrections
13:14every night and day secretly.
13:16They go by their acronym.
13:19This explains everything about MAGA.
13:21Any piece of information that doesn't fit
13:23into their worldview must be fake or a conspiracy,
13:25whether it's the number of Walmarts in California
13:27or the resistance to ICE in Minnesota
13:29or the results of the 2020 election.
13:31And if they have to, they'll just lie.
13:33The president will spend all night posting those lies,
13:35and then he'll come into work the next morning
13:37and tell everyone...
13:38I didn't sleep.
13:39This has been A Closer Look.
13:45We'll be right back with Joel McHale, everybody!
13:53For more of Seth's Closer Looks,

14:07It's almost the end of January,
14:09and as I work on my New Year's resolution,
14:12I've realized something.
14:13The way to reach my specific goal
14:15isn't to focus on the goal itself,
14:17but to focus on a bigger goal beyond it.
14:19That's a paradox!
14:21Sorry, what?
14:22That's a paradox.
14:23Like, the more you give, the more you get.
14:25Hey, I'm sorry, everyone.
14:26This is one of my writers, John Lutz.
14:28Hello!
14:31John, why are you interrupting the show?
14:34Oh, I just love paradoxes.
14:36Like, the more you know,
14:37the more you realize you don't know,
14:39or the more I act like this is a real sketch,
14:41the more likely it is a live ad.
14:44Is this a live ad?
14:46No!
14:50Seth, have you heard of the Pepsi Paradox?
14:52I have not.
14:53Well, the Pepsi Paradox is when people think they prefer Coke
14:56when they actually like the taste of Pepsi.
15:00This really seems like a live ad.
15:03It's not.
15:04It is.
15:07Seth, did you know that the Pepsi Paradox
15:09includes Pepsi Zero Sugar,
15:11and that polar bears prefer the taste of Pepsi Zero Sugar?
15:23See?
15:24Yeah.
15:25And if you don't believe the bear,
15:29try it yourself.
15:30Okay.
15:31Close your eyes.
15:32Oh, I'm not going to close my eyes.
15:33But that's what makes it fun.
15:35Ah, whatever.
15:36I'll do it.
15:37All right.
15:41What is this?
15:43Pepsi Zero Sugar?
15:44I love it!
15:47Go out and try Pepsi Zero Sugar today.
15:50You deserve taste.
15:51You deserve Pepsi.
15:52Wait a minute.
15:53This was an ad.
15:54It was.
15:56Cheers.
15:56We'll be right back with more Late Night.
15:58We'll be right back with more.
16:20All right.
16:21First guest tonight is an Emmy-nominated actor and comedian.
16:24You know from shows like Community, The Soup, The Bear,
16:27and House of Villains, who stars in Animal Control,
16:29which airs Thursday nights on Fox and streams the next day on Hulu.
16:33Let's take a look.
16:33You have two seating options, passenger side or center console.
16:36Emily, Frank won't let me drive.
16:38Frank, be nice and let him drive.
16:40When did you call Emily?
16:41Before I left the house.
16:42Scooch.
16:44I can't believe I should have chosen Templeton.
16:47Might want to adjust the mirrors in the seat.
16:49A joke about my stature.
16:51Sorry, we can't all be blessed with Frankenstein's height and personality.
16:55It's a big vehicle.
16:57You need clear lines of sight.
16:58All I see is a sulky Sally about to have the ride of his life.
17:02Okay.
17:03Stay in the truck, Frank.
17:07Please welcome back to the show our good friend Joel McGeeves!
17:35Let's go, let's go, let's go.
17:38Everybody, let's take some stuff.
17:40Come on in, come on in.
17:42You want to sit in the chair?
17:43You want to see?
17:44Come on!
17:45Let's see what it's like.
17:47Let's just sit here.
17:48Just take a, here, sit, sit, sit, see?
17:51It's part of the tour.
17:53No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:54You sit in that one.
17:56That's great.
17:56Okay.
17:56Hi, happy birthday.
17:58Okay.
17:59That was great.
18:01All right, beat it.
18:02Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it.
18:09That was...
18:11You know, anytime you want to run by what your plans are before...
18:16Before I come out here?
18:18No, I take my Vyvanse and then who knows what's going to happen.
18:24I'm so happy to see you.
18:26I'm also, you know, I'm excited for you based on your jersey.
18:30Like, we text a lot during the season.
18:31We do.
18:32And I'm very...
18:33I think we appreciate we're the same kind of sportsman.
18:35So I, as your friend, I'm very excited that the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl.
18:39Yeah!
18:42I am, uh...
18:44Yeah, I put...
18:46A lot of my emotions go into it.
18:49And it becomes unnatural and a problem.
18:52Yeah.
18:53Your family's not that into it.
18:54Uh, not...
18:56I burst out crying when, uh, the last two games.
19:00Yeah.
19:00And my wife now is just like,
19:02What the is wrong with you?
19:04And I'm like, I'm sorry.
19:06It's just, it's really...
19:07That Sam Darnold's come a long way.
19:11You tell your sons, like, he's like another son to me.
19:14Yeah, and they're like, are you going to help with my homework?
19:17But, yeah, so I am deeply...
19:19It's very exciting.
19:20And it's a little, I mean, not unfinished business,
19:22but, like, it's a little bit of a revenge game.
19:242015 Super Bowl, that was a very unkind ending for Seahawks fans.
19:28Thanks for bringing it up, ass...
19:29And, uh...
19:30I, again, I, you know, look, nobody, nobody dislikes the Patriots
19:34more than, uh, Mr. Guy right here, so...
19:38Uh, I, yeah, I'm very, we, yes.
19:41So I was sad that day, and I would like,
19:43I would just like you to even the ledger, you know what I mean?
19:45Yeah, I was there that day, too, so...
19:48Yeah.
19:48But I have, uh, I sacrificed a chicken this morning,
19:51and I do a couple of fun voodoo things,
19:55and, uh, so I think we're going to be okay.
19:57The Seahawks were 14-3 this year.
19:59Uh-huh.
20:00You went to three games.
20:01Yep.
20:02What was the Seahawks record in the games you went to?
20:05Uh, look...
20:08Those were, uh, rebuilding games, and, yes...
20:12Is it really true that they went 0-3 in the games you went to?
20:14Yes.
20:15And won every game you did?
20:16Yes!
20:17And have some Seahawks fans said,
20:20please stay away from the Super Bowl.
20:22And I was like, imagine if I actually had that power, guys.
20:28And knowing me, I would have monetized that years ago.
20:32Yes.
20:32And be like, you want your team to lose?
20:34I'm showing up.
20:35A million bucks, and I'll do it.
20:37So, uh, yes, I went to all three losses.
20:39You actually, uh, all jokes aside,
20:41you won a little money at the Super Bowl last year.
20:44Because you got a second-hand tip.
20:47Yeah, so I went to last year's Super Bowl,
20:49where the Eagles and the old Chiefs were playing.
20:52And I was, uh, I was at a party,
20:55and, uh, Tom Brady happened to be at...
20:58I'm going to drop a lot of names right now.
21:01Kevin Spacey.
21:03Wait, no, uh...
21:05Just...
21:05And then Bill Cosby said...
21:08I don't think you know how name-dropping works.
21:11Yeah, okay.
21:11You're doing it wrong.
21:12Anyway, Weinstein was like,
21:13let me tell you how you're going to...
21:14I was like, oh, no.
21:16And then I went back to dinner with Armie Hammer.
21:18And, uh...
21:20Wait, where was the story going?
21:21Oh, right, okay.
21:22So, I was at a party.
21:24And, uh, it was like a Fox Sports party.
21:29And, uh, Rob Lowe was there.
21:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:32Mr. Legend Rob Lowe.
21:34And he was like, I just...
21:36He walked...
21:37I just talked to Rob Lowe all the time, by the way.
21:38And, uh, he walked over, and he was like,
21:41I was just in a conversation with Tom Brady,
21:43and Tom just happened to very casually say,
21:46you know, there's a scenario where the Eagles
21:49are going to blow out the Chiefs, I think.
21:50And then I heard that,
21:52and I called, uh, my degenerate gambling friend.
21:56Uh, or my friend called him.
21:58Uh, that's Chris Mintz-Plass.
21:59Uh, and I'm not kidding.
22:01Uh, he played McLovin.
22:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:04He's super bad.
22:05Jeez, what a dick I am.
22:07And, uh, so...
22:09No, he'll be happy that the names you dropped
22:11were Cosby, Weinstein, Hammer, and your buddy.
22:16Kevin Spacey.
22:16I said that earlier.
22:18And Tom Brady.
22:18Yeah, and when the folks who got to sit up here
22:21show this back, they're like, just keep going.
22:23So, I, uh, I heard that, and I was like,
22:27well, I think Tom Brady has got a pretty good
22:29football intelligence here.
22:31So, the first time in my life, I placed a bet,
22:35and, uh, I...
22:36Look, I've done okay, guys.
22:38So, I was like, why not?
22:40It's Tom...
22:41It's secondhand information about Tom Brady.
22:43So, I put $1,000...
22:46Wow.
22:46...on the game, and it paid 11 times back.
22:50Wow.
22:51And I donated all that money to myself.
22:56And so, thank you.
22:58Thank you for time.
22:58What, uh...
23:01So, I, yeah, I am deeply...
23:03I'm sorry about your stillers.
23:04That's all right.
23:05It wasn't meant to be.
23:07By the way, Gronk, another Patriot legend,
23:09has been on a couple episodes of Animal Control.
23:11He has, and he's tremendous.
23:13And he's...
23:13Is it true he, like, shows up totally prepared?
23:16He...
23:17Yes.
23:18Unlike most actors, he knows all his lines.
23:21Yeah.
23:21And he had a zebra in this one.
23:23He ate that entire thing.
23:26He ate the zebra?
23:27Yes, but they don't believe...
23:28They kind of...
23:29It's weird that you kind of believe me.
23:31Yeah.
23:32And he did not.
23:33That was his pet zebra.
23:34So, he appeared this year.
23:35And he saw me right after...
23:37The first time I met him, I was like,
23:39Hey, man, uh, I'm a Seahawks fan.
23:41He was like, Oh, I broke your heart.
23:43And I was like...
23:44But then this year, after...
23:46Because we lost to the 49ers season opener.
23:50And, uh...
23:51Sorry.
23:52And, uh, so Gronk was like,
23:53Don't worry.
23:54The 49ers are not as good as you think.
23:57And the Seahawks don't realize how good they are yet.
24:00So, Gronk was on top of it, too.
24:01He was right.
24:02Gronk and Brady are a couple, like, suitsayers.
24:04But then he just chose the Patriots to win the Super Bowl,
24:06which I guess he has to.
24:08He has to.
24:09Yeah, you can't be mad after that.
24:10Do you...
24:10Was the zebra the favorite animal you worked with on Animal Control?
24:13Uh, he was one of my very favorites.
24:16And we went on a couple of dates.
24:19Uh...
24:20But Sarah found out.
24:21And she was like, What are you doing?
24:23Uh, no, I...
24:24I wrote a...
24:25I got to ride a camel and some horses.
24:28Oh, yeah, there's a camel.
24:28Yeah, there's a picture of you and a camel.
24:29Did you enjoy riding a camel?
24:31It doesn't look fun.
24:33Um...
24:34This cat...
24:34They go...
24:35Before I got on, they said, What's the...
24:37I go, What's the camel's name?
24:38They go, Mayhem.
24:41And I said, Great.
24:44Okay.
24:45Is there another camel named Accident?
24:47And, uh...
24:49So, I was like, All right.
24:51And they were like, Hey,
24:52will you get to know the camel beforehand?
24:54And I was like, Absolutely.
24:55So, I smoked some cigarettes with him, of course.
24:58And I got on there.
25:01And he was totally cool.
25:03And then the trainer said,
25:04Hey, if he takes off,
25:07just know that he's having a great time.
25:11And just hold on.
25:13And I was like, Thank you.
25:15Great advice.
25:16Good thing I have a saddle.
25:17And, uh...
25:18Oh, wait.
25:18No saddle.
25:19And...
25:21And then the...
25:21I was on him.
25:22And then he sat down.
25:24So, his front legs...
25:25When the camel sits, they go like that,
25:27which, all of a sudden,
25:28it's like you're on a Black Diamond ski run.
25:31And then he fully sat down.
25:34And then the guy goes,
25:35Hey, you didn't fall off and break your neck.
25:37That's great.
25:38And most people do.
25:40And he goes,
25:41Just so you know, he sat down.
25:42It means he's happy.
25:43Oh, wow.
25:44It seemed like this guy,
25:44no matter what mayhem did,
25:46would be like,
25:46That means he's happy.
25:47If he takes off, he's happy.
25:49If he sits down, he's happy.
25:50Yeah.
25:50He was the nicest Canadian camel
25:52I had ever met.
25:54He was a good...
25:55Yeah.
25:55He was a good camel.
25:56I got a lot more questions for you.
25:57I'll bring up some more.
25:59With much more Joel McHale.
26:21Welcome back, everybody.
26:23Welcome back.
26:24We're here with Seth.
26:24Oh, so the last time I saw Seth,
26:28we had dinner plans.
26:29We did.
26:30And with Mr. John Oliver.
26:32We did.
26:32It was a very fun...
26:33We've had dinner before.
26:35It's a good group.
26:36It's a great hang.
26:37And last time,
26:39John and I sat down
26:40at the steakhouse,
26:42and Seth had texted a couple times.
26:44He's like,
26:44Where are you guys?
26:45Okay, what time?
26:47And then 15 minutes in,
26:50you were like,
26:51I can't make it.
26:51Yeah.
26:52Sorry.
26:52So John and I just,
26:53you know,
26:54we just stared at an empty chair,
26:56like in the movie Coco,
26:58where you like leave a chair out
27:00for the dead relative.
27:03And then we had a...
27:06John and I are having
27:07a great romantic time.
27:08And so then at the end of the night,
27:12we're very sad you weren't there.
27:13And then we realized why he had called,
27:15because he paid for everything.
27:16I did.
27:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:17And that was extremely kind.
27:195% tip.
27:23It was weird.
27:24No, so,
27:27so the next time
27:28we go out to dinner,
27:30let's get John to pay.
27:31Okay.
27:33That is only fair.
27:34That would be...
27:35This is really exciting.
27:36You're going to be in Scream 7.
27:38Scream 7, yes.
27:38They were,
27:39they tried to get you.
27:40Yeah.
27:42You played,
27:43you played hardball
27:44on the first six.
27:46I did, yeah.
27:46They wouldn't hit your quote.
27:48And they finally,
27:48they finally paid to get you.
27:50Are you happy about
27:50your placement on the poster?
27:53Well, strangely,
27:54in the movie,
27:55this,
27:56this is actual size
27:57of everybody in the movie.
28:00It's a whole new,
28:01yeah,
28:02so I just want,
28:03I'm nearest to the 7.
28:04You're nearest to the 7, yeah.
28:06Look at that.
28:07The funny thing is,
28:08you're so much taller than them,
28:09they really had to shrink you.
28:11Yeah, it,
28:12yeah, what the,
28:12yeah, no,
28:13and then look at him.
28:15Look,
28:15Ghostface is tiny.
28:16Yeah.
28:16Oh, that's true.
28:17You guys want to know
28:18who the killer is?
28:22Oh, you don't?
28:23You don't want to know
28:24who the killer is?
28:24Yeah.
28:25Did you like,
28:26The killer is Ghostface.
28:28All right.
28:30Um,
28:31is that,
28:31so,
28:32I haven't been,
28:32I haven't kept up on screen.
28:34What?
28:34Different,
28:35different killer every time?
28:36Don't you research
28:36your guests at all?
28:39If you,
28:39if you'd have been
28:40in the first six,
28:40I would have looked into it,
28:41but,
28:43different,
28:43is the ghost,
28:44is Ghostface a different person
28:45every time?
28:46I don't know.
28:50Uh...
28:51Don't try to save it.
28:54Yeah, no,
28:55well,
28:56look,
28:56there's been multiple
28:58Ghostface killers.
28:59Sure, sure, sure.
29:00I'm just,
29:00like,
29:01wondering if it's,
29:01you know,
29:01because, like,
29:02there's only one Jason.
29:04Uh, true.
29:05Yeah.
29:06But that's why,
29:06but, yeah, okay, yeah,
29:08and, uh,
29:09all right, yeah.
29:09You mean,
29:09like,
29:09if you were, like,
29:10if you came out
29:11and you're in
29:11the new Friday the 13th,
29:12you're like,
29:12you guys want to know
29:12who Jason is?
29:13Jason.
29:16You, yeah,
29:17I guess in those movies
29:18you'd be like,
29:18this no,
29:19because, again,
29:19I mean,
29:20I'm just,
29:21I'm gonna catch up.
29:22You,
29:22how far did you get?
29:23On the screams?
29:24You, to six?
29:25You got to six,
29:26no?
29:26No, no, no,
29:26I got,
29:27I did one.
29:29And then,
29:30then life got crazy,
29:31you know what I mean?
29:32Oh, okay,
29:32all right,
29:33well,
29:34you threw out,
29:34you threw out the first pitch
29:35at a Seattle Mariners game,
29:36and, man,
29:37they,
29:37people showed up.
29:44Yeah,
29:45you missed the part
29:45where it says,
29:46Joel McHale,
29:46actor and comedian,
29:47no,
29:47seriously.
29:50But that's very,
29:51I,
29:51it's like the retro
29:52Mariner song.
29:53Yes,
29:53I actually,
29:54you can see
29:55how excited
29:56the Mariner player is.
29:58I got to throw it
30:00to my,
30:00my 17-year-old.
30:02Oh,
30:02that's exciting.
30:03I mean,
30:03I,
30:03I was,
30:04I did it once
30:05at Fenway Park.
30:05Like,
30:06no,
30:06they do it,
30:06the reason you've never
30:07seen one,
30:08actually,
30:08is they do it
30:08so much earlier
30:09than the game.
30:10This was the
30:11seventh inning stretch.
30:12No,
30:13my,
30:14I threw it to my kid
30:15and that's from the mound
30:17and he was like,
30:18you better give it,
30:19get over the plate,
30:20dad.
30:22And I,
30:23and then I washed his mouth
30:24out with soap
30:24and I said,
30:25all right,
30:25great,
30:26yeah.
30:26You're like the standard
30:28uniform pants there?
30:29Yeah,
30:29what happened?
30:30I was doing an army,
30:32an army movie
30:32right next to it
30:33and,
30:34oh,
30:34I'm wearing the same boots.
30:36All right,
30:36great,
30:36great.
30:37House of Villains,
30:38season three.
30:39That's a very fun show.
30:39Season three,
30:40For those who haven't
30:41seen House of Villains.
30:42It's like,
30:42uh,
30:43traitors,
30:44but dirty.
30:45And,
30:45uh,
30:46it really is.
30:47Wait,
30:47have any of you
30:48heard of it?
30:52Just,
30:54just so much.
30:55The rule is,
30:56it's like,
30:56don't ask,
30:57has anybody heard of it?
30:58you're right.
30:59Can we,
30:59can we do a retake?
31:01What do you want to do?
31:02Oh my gosh,
31:02season three,
31:03House of Villains.
31:11It would be so funny
31:13if you were like,
31:14I'm doing House of Villains,
31:15dead silence,
31:15and then you said,
31:16has anybody seen it?
31:17And they went nuts,
31:18organically.
31:19We like everything
31:20except for the host.
31:23But these are,
31:24these are reality stars,
31:25some of whom,
31:26uh,
31:26you have,
31:27from your soup days,
31:28have given a hard time.
31:28Yeah,
31:29we,
31:29uh,
31:30well,
31:30like,
31:30Tom Sandoval's
31:32on this season.
31:32Wow.
31:33From Vanderpump,
31:34look at that.
31:34Yeah.
31:35And there's a great scene
31:37where,
31:37uh,
31:37he's apparently
31:38a very good musician,
31:39he's a very good trumpet player.
31:40I'm not kidding.
31:43But the fillers in his lips
31:45were so thick
31:48that he couldn't
31:49make a seal
31:50on the trumpet.
31:53And,
31:54to his credit,
31:55he was really good about it.
31:57And so we're just like,
31:59keep playing that trumpet,
32:00man.
32:01It is.
32:02Yeah,
32:02it's,
32:03it's,
32:03this is the greatest show
32:04you've never seen.
32:05This is great.
32:06I mean,
32:06it's a pretty good sales pitch,
32:07I will say,
32:07right there.
32:08I definitely want to
32:09at least watch that scene,
32:10for sure.
32:10I mean,
32:11season four coming up,
32:12right?
32:13There we go.
32:14Uh,

32:49You can see her next

32:53Let's take a look.
32:54Oh,
32:54it's,
32:55it's quite lovely.
32:57I made it the night
32:58that Edgar proposed
32:59once I knew
32:59that you would join us
33:00here forever.
33:04Is this...
33:05Your real hair.
33:06Yes,
33:06for I had been collecting it
33:07from the brush
33:08while you stayed with us.
33:09I knew I could not use
33:11anything else for your hair.
33:12So singular.
33:17Oh,
33:18this
33:19must have taken
33:20a very long time.
33:22No matter,
33:23for I have nothing to do.
33:26Please welcome to the show,
33:28Alison Oliver,
33:29everybody.
33:43Hi!
33:45How are you?
33:46I'm good.
33:47How are you?
33:48I'm wonderful.
33:48Congratulations on this film.
33:50It's such a,
33:51it's such a juicy part.
33:52Yes,
33:53I was very,
33:54very lucky
33:54to play that character.
33:55You know,
33:56because obviously
33:56there's a book
33:56everybody knows
33:57and your performance
33:58was saying backstage,
34:00like I wasn't expecting
34:01to find so much humor in it
34:03and did you know
34:04right away
34:04that there was going
34:05to be the ability
34:06to like have those moments?
34:08I think Emerald
34:09always finds a way
34:10to bring humor
34:11into a lot of things
34:12and that character
34:13was very much
34:14on the page
34:15when I read it
34:15and so it was just
34:17a case of like
34:18embodying this sort
34:19of mad creature
34:20that she sort of crafted.
34:23You do a very good job
34:23of embodying the mad creature
34:25or something.
34:26Emerald Fennell
34:27is the director
34:27and is it true
34:29that she basically
34:29sent you the script
34:30and it was
34:31any actor's dream
34:32which was like
34:33if you like this
34:34it's your part.
34:35Yeah,
34:36she's very cool
34:37in that way
34:37that she just sort of
34:38sent me a text saying
34:40can I send you a script?
34:42And I said yes
34:43and then she just said
34:44if you like Isabella
34:46then you can play her.
34:48That's great.
34:49But I was saying earlier
34:51I was on the set of Task
34:53when I got the message
34:54and I was in my Eagles t-shirt
34:57and FBI jacket
34:58and I was like
34:59this is perfect.
35:00It's a very,
35:00very different question.
35:02Yeah,
35:02so for those of Task
35:03is a fantastic show
35:04at HBO,
35:05you're wonderful in it.
35:06So you went basically
35:07from this
35:10to that.
35:13Very,
35:13very different.
35:14Now I would imagine
35:15like,
35:15I mean again
35:16these are like
35:16far more functional clothes
35:17but like do you enjoy
35:18I mean again
35:19this is an incredible wardrobe.
35:21I know,
35:21I'm sorry
35:21this is the photo we have
35:22but the clothes
35:24are very beautiful as well.
35:25Like at this moment
35:25you're not,
35:26the eye's not drawn
35:27to the clothes
35:27but yeah.
35:29Yeah,
35:30I loved wearing,
35:31I mean it was,
35:32I have never done
35:33a period piece before
35:34and the whole
35:35sort of ritual
35:36of getting into
35:36the corset
35:37and the big like
35:38cage skirt every day
35:40was,
35:40it was really fun.
35:42I loved it.
35:42It's fantastic
35:43and I,
35:44you know,
35:45it's beautiful.
35:46I mean the surroundings
35:46are absolutely gorgeous.
35:48Yeah.
35:48Yeah.
35:49I was in awe
35:50of like
35:50when we,
35:51because they built
35:52both of those sets
35:53the Wuthering Heights
35:54and the Thrushcross Grange
35:55and when we came in
35:56I just felt like
35:58specifically for our house
36:00that I was in like Oz,
36:01you know,
36:01like it is like a fairy tale
36:03when you walk in there
36:05and there were real,
36:06they got real flowers
36:08and real grass
36:09inside the studio
36:10on that set
36:11and it was just like heaven.
36:13It was amazing.
36:13It's really fun.
36:14You worked with Emerald
36:15as well in Saltburn
36:16and a lot of directors
36:17will have the same crews
36:18on their film
36:18so this was a similar crew
36:20and is it true
36:21that based on how you looked
36:22in Saltburn
36:23nobody thought it was you?
36:26I actually didn't know this
36:28but yeah,
36:28I think apparently
36:29a couple of people
36:30didn't realize it was me
36:31which I was like
36:32oh, I thought we all
36:33knew each other
36:34really well
36:35by that point
36:36but
36:36You're like
36:36at some point
36:37you're like
36:37I'm either a great actor
36:38or a bad friend.
36:43It's a
36:43you mentioned period piece
36:44and obviously
36:45you know
36:47British accents
36:48you in task
36:50I will say something
36:50the Delco accent
36:51is an incredibly
36:53difficult one.
36:54Especially I think
36:55here's my rule about it
36:56like if a person
36:58if an actor is doing
36:58a good Delco accent
37:00from America
37:00I'm like
37:01they're from there
37:02but like
37:03when I was watching you
37:04I was like
37:04she's either from that area
37:05or she's like
37:06from Europe.
37:07Oh my god
37:08that's so good.
37:08Because it was so good.
37:10Did you know
37:11how challenging it was
37:12when you agreed to do this?
37:13Yeah, I'd seen
37:14Mayor of Easttown
37:16Brad Inglesby
37:17who wrote both shows
37:18who's incredible
37:20I'd seen that show
37:21and then
37:23so I knew
37:23that that was something
37:24I was going to have to take on
37:25and I think as soon
37:26as I was cast
37:27that was the thing
37:27that I was like
37:28I need to start working on it
37:29but it was only when I got there
37:31and I started going to like
37:32wah-wahs
37:34and like bars
37:35I was like
37:36oh my god
37:37that is a real sound.
37:39Yeah.
37:39It's a real thing.
37:40It's a real unique sound.
37:42I know this is a very
37:43a very unfair thing to ask
37:45but for me
37:46will you
37:47can you say
37:48Wuthering Heights
37:48in a Delco accent?
37:51Oh my god.
37:56Wuthering Heights.
37:58That's great.
37:59I'm very happy with that.
38:00I'm very happy with that.
38:02It would be like
38:04because that's like
38:05I feel like the like
38:06the you know
38:07the very like basic
38:08how do you do a Philly
38:09Delco accent
38:10is like Wuther
38:10instead of water.
38:12So I would like
38:12it's Wuthering Heights.
38:13Wuthering Heights.
38:14Maybe.
38:16Is it true
38:17so you went to theater school
38:19the day after you graduated
38:22I feel like this is like
38:23both an inspirational story
38:26but also like
38:26we should make clear
38:27it doesn't happen to everybody.
38:28Like you got a job
38:30like your day
38:30out of theater school.
