TVTranscript
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,
13:55be sure to subscribe to Late Night on YouTube.
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.
16:21Our first guest on tonight is an Emmy-nominated actor
16:23and comedian you know from shows like
16:25The Soup, The Bear, and House of Villains.
16:27He stars in Animal Control,
16:29which airs Thursday nights on Fox

16:33Let's take a look.
16:33You have two seating options,
16:35passenger 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, scooch.
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
16:52with Frankenstein's height and personality.
16:56It's a big vehicle.
16:57You need clear lines of sight.
16:58All I see is a sulky Sally
17:00about to have the ride of his life.
17:02Okay.
17:03Stay in the truck, Frank.
17:07Please welcome back to the show
17:08our good friend Joel McGee!
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, let's see what it's like.
17:46Let's just sit here.
17:48Just take a, here, sit, sit, sit, see?
17:51It's a big part of the tour.
17:53No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:54You sit in that one. That's great.
17:56Okay. Hi, happy birthday.
17:59Okay. That was great.
18:01All right, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it.
18:04See?
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, I 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, yeah, I put, I, a lot of my emotions go into it and it becomes unnatural and
18:51a problem.
18:52Yeah.
18:53Your family's not that into it.
18:54Uh, not near, I burst out crying when, uh, the last two games.
19:00Yeah.
19:00And my wife now is just like, what the is wrong with you?
19:04And I'm like, I'm sorry, it's just, it's really, it's a, that Sam Darnold's come a long way.
19:10And, uh...
19:11You tell your sons, like, he's like another son to me.
19:14Yeah, and they're like, are you gonna help with my homework?
19:17And, but, yeah, so I am, uh, deeply...
19:19It's very exciting and it's a little, I mean, not unfinished business, but like, it's a little bit of a
19:23revenge game.
19:242015 Super Bowl, that was a very, uh, unkind ending for Seahawks fans.
19:28Thanks for bringing it up, ass .
19:29And, uh...
19:30I, again, I, I, you know, look, nobody, nobody dislikes the Patriots more than, uh, Mr. Guy right here, so.
19:38Uh, I, yeah, uh, I'm very, we, yes.
19:41So, I would, I was sad that day and I would like, I would just like you to even the
19:45ledger, you know what I mean?
19:45Yeah, I was there that day, too, so, uh, but I have, uh, I sacrificed a chicken this morning and
19:52I do a couple of fun voodoo things and, uh, so I think we're gonna be okay.
19:57The, uh, the Seahawks were 14-3 this year.
19:59Mm-hmm.
20:00Uh, you went to three games.
20:01Yep.
20:02What were, what 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, please stay away from the Super Bowl?
20:22And I was like, imagine if I actually had that power, guys, and knowing me, I would have monetized that
20:31years ago and 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, uh, all jokes aside, you won a little money at the Super Bowl last year because you
20:44got a secondhand tip.
20:46Yeah, so, uh, I went to last year's Super Bowl and, uh, where the Eagles and the old Chiefs were
20:51playing.
20:52Yeah.
20:52And I was, uh, I was at a party and, uh, Tom Brady happened to be at, I'm going to
20:58drop a lot of names right now.
21:02Kevin Spacey.
21:03Wait, no, uh, just, and then Bill Cosby said, I'm like, what is happening?
21:09I don't think you know how name dropping works.
21:11Yeah, okay.
21:11You're doing it wrong.
21:12Anyway, Weinstein was like, let me tell you how you're going to, I was like, oh, no.
21:15And then I went back to dinner with Armie Hammer and, uh, wait, where was the story go?
21:21Oh, right. Okay, so, I was at a party and, uh, it was like a Fox Sports party.
21:29And, uh, Rob Lowe was there, uh, Mr. Legend Rob Lowe.
21:34And, uh, he was like, I just, he walked, I just talked to Rob Lowe all the time, by the
21:38way.
21:38And, uh, he walked over and he was like, I was just in a conversation with Tom Brady.
21:43And Tom just happened to very casually say, you know, there's a scenario where the Eagles
21:49are going to blow out the Chiefs, I think.
21:50And then I heard that and I called, uh, my degenerate gambling friend, uh, or my friend
21:57called him, uh, that's Chris Mintz-Plass.
21:59Uh, and I'm not kidding.
22:01Uh, he played McLovin, uh, in Superbad.
22:04Geez, what a dick I am.
22:07And, uh, so...
22:09No, he'll be happy that the names you dropped were Cosby, Weinstein, Hammer, and your buddy.
22:16Kevin Spacey. I said that earlier.
22:18And Tom Brady.
22:19And when the folks who got to sit up here show this back, they're like, just keep going.
22:23So, I, uh, I heard that and I was like, well, I think Tom Brady has got a pretty good
22:29football
22:30intelligence here.
22:31So, the first time in my life, I placed a bet.
22:35And, uh, I, look, I've done okay, guys.
22:38So, I was like, why not?
22:40It's Tom, uh, it's secondhand information about Tom Brady.
22:43So, I put $1,000 on the game.
22:47And it paid 11 times back.
22:50Wow.
22:51And I donated all that money to myself.
22:56And so, thank you.
22:58What a...
23:01So, I, yeah, I am deeply, I'm sorry about your stillers.
23:04That's all right.
23:05It wasn't, it wasn't meant to be.
23:06Um, uh, by the way, Gronk, another Patriot legend.
23:09Yes.
23:09Has been on a couple episodes of Animal Control.
23:11He has.
23:12And he's tremendous.
23:13And he's, is it true?
23:14He, like, shows up totally prepared?
23:17He, yes.
23:18Unlike most actors, he knows all his lines.
23:21Yeah.
23:21Uh, and he, 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, they 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, uh, he saw me right after, the first time I met him,
23:38I was like, hey, 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, because we lost to the, uh,
23:4849ers, a season opener, and, uh, sorry.
23:52And, uh, so, Gronk was like, don'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, as the zebra, the favorite animal you worked with
24:12on Animal Control?
24:14Uh, he was one of my very favorites,
24:16and we went on a couple of dates.
24:19Uh, but Sarah found out, and she was like,
24:22what are you doing?
24:23Uh, no, I wrote a, I got to ride a camel and, uh, 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.
24:32Um, this cat, they go, uh, before I got on,
24:36they said, what's the, I go, what's the camel's name?
24:38They go, Mayhem.
24:41Um, and I said, great, okay.
24:45Is there another camel named Accident?
24:47And, uh, so I was like, all right.
24:51And they were like, hey, will you get to know
24:53the camel beforehand?
24:54And I was like, absolutely.
24:55So I smoked some cigarettes with him, of course.
24:58And I got on there, and he was totally cool.
25:03And then the trainer said, hey, 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, oh, wait, no saddle.
25:19And, and then the, I was on him,
25:22and then he sat down.
25:24Uh, so his front legs, when the camel sits,
25:26they go like that, which all of a sudden,
25:28it's like you're on a Black Diamond ski run.
25:32And, uh, then he fully sat down,
25:34and then the guy goes, hey,
25:35you didn't fall off and break your neck.
25:37That's great.
25:39And most people do.
25:40And I, and he goes, just so you know,
25:41he sat down, it means he's happy.
25:43Oh, wow.
25:44It seemed like this guy, no matter what mayhem did,
25:46would be like, that means he's happy.
25:47If he takes off, he's happy.
25:49If he sits down, he's happy.
25:50Yeah, he was the nicest Canadian camel I had ever met.
25:54He was a good, yeah, he's a good camel.
25:56I got a lot more questions for you.
25:57I'll bring up some more.
25:58With 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, John and I sat down at the steakhouse,
26:42and Seth had texted a couple times.
26:44He's like, where are you guys?
26:45Okay, what time?
26:47And then 15 minutes in,
26:49we were like, Seth, you were like,
26:51I can't make it.
26:51Yeah.
26:51Sorry.
26:52So John and I just, you know,
26:54we just stared at an empty chair,
26:56like in the movie Coco,
26:58where you like leave a chair out for the dead relative.
27:03And then we had a,
27:06John and I are having a 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 we 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, they tried to get you.
27:40Yeah.
27:42You played, you played hardball on the first six.
27:46I did, yeah.
27:46They wouldn't hit your quote.
27:47And they finally,
27:48they finally paid to get you.
27:50Are you happy about your placement on the poster?
27:53Well, strangely, in the movie,
27:55this,
27:56this is actual size of everybody in the movie.
28:00It's a whole new,
28:01yeah.
28:02So I just want,
28:03I'm nearest to the seven.
28:04You're nearest to the seven, 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.
28:12Yeah.
28:12What the, yeah, no.
28:13And, and then look at him.
28:15Look, Ghostface is tiny.
28:16Yeah.
28:16Oh, that's true.
28:17You guys want to know who the killer is?
28:22Oh, you don't?
28:23You don't want to know who the killer is?
28:24Yeah.
28:25Did you like, uh...
28:26The killer is Ghostface.
28:29All right.
28:30Um, is that, so, uh, I haven't been,
28:32I haven't kept up on screen.
28:34What?
28:34Different, different killer every time?
28:36Don't you research your guests at all?
28:39If you, if you'd have been in the first six,
28:40I would have looked into it.
28:41But, um, different, is the ghost,
28:44is Ghostface a different person every time?
28:46I don't know.
28:50Uh...
28:50Don't try to save it.
28:54But, uh...
28:55Yeah, no, well, look,
28:56there's been multiple Ghostface killers.
28:59Sure, sure, sure.
29:00I'm just, like, wondering if it's, you know,
29:01because, like, there's only one Jason.
29:04Uh, true.
29:05Yeah.
29:06But that's why, but, yeah, okay, yeah.
29:08And, uh, all right.
29:09You would be like, if you were, like,
29:10if you came out, and you're in the new Friday the 13th,
29:12you're like, you guys want to know who Jason is?
29:13Jason.
29:16You'd, yeah, I guess in those movies,
29:18you'd be like, this no,
29:19because, again, I mean, I'm just,
29:21I'm going to catch up.
29:22You, how far did you get?
29:23On the screams?
29:24You, to six?
29:25You got to six, no?
29:26No, no, no, I got, I did one.
29:29And then, then life got crazy,
29:31you know what I mean?
29:31Oh, okay, all right, well.
29:33You threw out, uh, you threw out the first pitch
29:35at a Seattle Mariners game,
29:36and, man, they, people showed up.
29:44Yeah, you missed the part
29:45where there's a Joel McHale actor and comedian.
29:47No, seriously.
29:50But that's very, I,
29:51it's like the retro, uh, Mariners logo.
29:53Yes, I actually, you can see
29:55how excited the Mariner player is.
29:58Yeah.
29:59I mean, I, I.
29:59I got to throw it to my, my, uh, 17-year-old.
30:02Oh, that's exciting.
30:03I mean, I, I, well, I say,
30:04I did it once at Fenway Park.
30:05Like, no, when they do it,
30:06the reason you've never seen one, actually,
30:08is they do it so much earlier than the game.
30:10This was the seventh inning stretch.
30:12Uh, no, uh, my, I threw it to my kid,
30:15and, uh, that's from the mound,
30:17and he was like,
30:18you better give it,
30:19get over the plate, dad.
30:22And I, and then I washed his mouth out with soap,
30:25and I said, all right, great, yeah.
30:26Uh, you're all.
30:27Do you like the, uh, standard uniform pants there?
30:29Yeah, what happened?
30:30Um, I was doing an army,
30:32an army movie right next to it,
30:33and, oh, I'm wearing the same boots.
30:35All right, great, great.
30:37Um, House of Villains, season three.
30:39That's a very fun show.
30:40House of Villains, season three, yeah.
30:40For those who haven't seen House of Villains.
30:42It's like, uh, traitors, but dirty.
30:45And, uh, it really is.
30:47Wait, have any of you heard of it?
30:53Just, just so much.
30:55Well, don't, the rule is,
30:56it's like, don't ask has anybody heard of it.
30:58Oh, you're right.
30:59Can we, can we do a retake?
31:01What do you want to do?
31:02Oh, my gosh, season three, House of Villains.
31:06Yeah.
31:10Ugh.
31:12It would be so funny if you were like,
31:14I'm doing House of Villains, dead silence,
31:15and then you said, has anybody seen it?
31:17And they went nuts organically.
31:19We like everything except for the host.
31:22Uh, yeah.
31:23But these are, these are reality stars,
31:25some of whom, uh, you have, from your soup days,
31:28have given a hard time.
31:29Yeah, we, uh, well, like, Tom Sandoval is on this season.
31:32Wow.
31:33From Vanderpump.
31:34Look at that.
31:34Yeah.
31:35And there's a great scene where, uh,
31:37he's apparently a very good musician.
31:39He's a very good trumpet player.
31:40I'm not kidding.
31:43But the fillers in his lips were so thick
31:48that he couldn't make a seal on the trumpet.
31:53And to his credit, he was really good about it.
31:57And so we're just like, keep playing that trumpet, man.
32:01It is.
32:01Yeah, it's, it's, this is the greatest show
32:04you've never seen.
32:05This is great.
32:06I mean, it's a pretty good sales pitch,
32:07I will say, right there.
32:08I definitely want to at least watch that scene, for sure.
32:10Yeah, I mean, season four coming up, right?
32:13There we go.
32:14So, uh, thanks for being here, buddy.
32:16Let's, uh, let's go get dinner tonight.
32:18Let's make John pay for it.
32:19Uh, you're the best.
32:20Have a good day.
32:21Well, McHale, Animal Control,
32:22Thursday nights on Fox,
32:24streams the next day.
32:24Hulu will be right back.
32:25With Alex Brown.
32:44Our next guest is a talented actress you know
32:46from Saul Byrne, Task, and Conversations with Friends.
32:49You can see her next in Wuthering Heights,
32:51which is in theaters February 13th.
32:53Let's take a look.
32:54Oh, it's, it's quite lovely.
32:57I made it the night that Edgar proposed
32:59once I knew that you would join us here forever.
33:04Is this...
33:05Your real hair.
33:06Yes, for I had been collecting it from the brush
33:08while you stayed with us.
33:09I knew I could not use anything else for your hair.
33:12So singular.
33:17Oh, this must have taken a very long time.
33:22No matter, for I have nothing to do.
33:26Please welcome to the show,
33:28Alison Oliver, everybody!
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, it's such a juicy part.
33:52Yes.
33:53I was very, very lucky to play that character.
33:55It's, you know,
33:56because obviously there's a book everybody knows
33:57and your performance was saying backstage.
34:00Like, I wasn't expecting to find so much humor in it.
34:03And did you know right away
34:04that there was going to be the ability
34:06to, like, have those moments?
34:07I think Emerald always finds a way
34:10to bring humor into a lot of things.
34:12And that character was very much on the page
34:15when I read it.
34:16And so it was just a case of, like,
34:18embodying this sort of mad creature
34:20that she sort of crafted.
34:23You do a very good job of embodying
34:24the mad creature or something.
34:26Emerald Fennell is the director.
34:28And is it true that she basically sent you the script
34:30and it was any actor's dream,
34:32which was, like, if you like this, it's your part?
34:35Yeah, she's very cool in that way
34:37that she just sort of sent 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, then you can play her.
34:48That's great.
34:49But I was saying earlier,
34:51I was on the set of Task when I got the message
34:54and I was in my Eagles T-shirt and FBI jacket.
34:58I was like, this is perfect.
35:00It's a very, very different question.
35:02Yeah, so for those of Task is a fantastic show at HBO.
35:05You're wonderful in it.
35:06So you went basically from this
35:10to that.
35:13Very, very different.
35:14Now, I would imagine, like, I mean, again,
35:16these are, like, far more functional clothes,
35:17but, like, do you enjoy, I mean, again,
35:19this is an incredible wardrobe.
35:20I know, I'm sorry, this is the photo we have,
35:22but the clothes are very beautiful as well.
35:25Like, at this moment,
35:25the eye's not drawn to the clothes, but, yeah.
35:29Yeah, I loved wearing it.
35:31I mean, it was, I have never done a period piece before
35:34and the whole sort of ritual of getting into the corset
35:37and the big, like, cage skirt every day was,
35:40it was really fun.
35:42I loved it.
35:42It's fantastic.
35:43And, you know, it's beautiful.
35:45I mean, the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous.
35:48Yeah, yeah.
35:48Yeah, I was in awe of, like, when we,
35:51because they built both of those sets,
35:53the Wuthering Heights and the Thrushcross Grange.
35:55And when we came in, I just felt like,
35:58specifically for our house, that I was in, like, Oz.
36:01You know, like, it is like a fairy town.
36:03You walk in there and there were real,
36:06they got real flowers and real grass
36:09inside the studio on that set.
36:11And it was just, like, heaven.
36:13It was amazing.
36:13It's really fun.
36:14You worked with Emerald as well in Saltburn,
36:16and a lot of directors will have the same crews on their film.
36:19So this was a similar crew.
36:20And is it true that based on how you looked in Saltburn,
36:23nobody thought it was you?
36:24Well, I actually didn't know this.
36:28But, yeah, I think apparently a couple of people
36:30didn't realize it was me, which I was like,
36:32oh, I thought we all knew each other really well
36:35by that point.
36:36You're like, at some point, you're like,
36:37I'm either a great actor or a bad friend.
36:43It's a, you mentioned period piece,
36:44and obviously, you know, British accents.
36:49You, in task, I will say something,
36:50the Delco accent is an incredibly difficult one.
36:54Especially, I think, here's my rule about it.
36:56Like, if a person, if an actor's doing
36:58a good Delco accent from America,
37:01I'm like, they're from there.
37:03But, like, when I was watching you,
37:04I was like, she's either from that area
37:05or she's, like, from Europe.
37:07Oh, my God.
37:08That's so good.
37:08Because it was so good.
37:10Oh.
37:10Did you know how challenging it was
37:12when you agreed to do this?
37:13Yeah, I'd seen Mare of Easttown,
37:15who, Brad Inglesby, who wrote both shows,
37:18who's incredible.
37:20And I'd seen that show, and then,
37:23so I knew that that was something
37:24I was going to have to take on.
37:25And I think as soon as I was cast,
37:27that was the thing that 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,
37:33wah-wahs and, like, bars,
37:35I was like, oh, my God,
37:37that is a real sound.
37:38Yeah.
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,
37:46but for me, will you,
37:47can you say Wuthering Heights
37:48in a Delco accent?
37:50Oh, my God.
37:51Um, uh,
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, everybody,
38:05I feel like the, like, the, you know,
38:07the very, like, basic
38:08how-do-you-do-of-philly Delco accent
38:10is, like, wood-er.
38:10Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:12So I would like it's Wuthering Heights.
38:13Wuthering Heights.
38:14Maybe.
38:15Um, is it true that,
38:17so you went to theater school.
38:19Mm-hmm.
38:19Um, the day after you graduated,
38:22uh, I 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, like,
38:30your day out of theater school.
38:31Yeah, it was, it was strange,
38:33because I graduated,
38:35my final year was,
38:36was during COVID.
38:37Yeah.
38:37So it sort of broke up a little bit,
38:39and during that time,
38:40during the break,
38:41I was doing, like,
38:41tons and tons of self-tapes,
38:43and then I moved back to Dublin,
38:45because I was in college in Dublin,
38:46went back to Cork for, um,
38:48for, to isolate,
38:49and then came back,
38:49and, uh, yeah,
38:51and I was finishing up college,
38:52so I was like,
38:53okay, well,

38:54and, and I,
38:55and I got a job in this,
38:57like, vegan burger, um, place,
38:59and, um, and then I,
39:01and I,
39:02like, the day I got the job,
39:03I came home,
39:04and I had a call from my agent,
39:05being like,
39:05oh, you, you got conversations
39:07with friends,
39:08and, um,
39:09we used to joke, like,

39:15I mean,
39:16it must have been such a funny call
39:17to the vegan burger place, yeah.
39:19Well, I, I did go back.
39:20I did work there for a while,
39:22because we didn't start shooting
