00:30We admire this late night.
00:31We hope you're doing well.
00:32And now, if you don't mind, we're going to get to the news.
00:34Tonight was the State of the Union Address,
00:37and President Trump said yesterday
00:38that he was expecting the speech to be long.
00:41Oh, yeah, I think we're all expecting that.
00:45You're incapable of being brief.
00:47Even if you were just going to read a haiku,
00:49I would expect two intermissions.
00:53President Trump tonight delivered his State of the Union Address.
00:56We tape early, so I'll go ahead and fact-check
00:59in advance.
01:00Not true.
01:00Not true.
01:02O.J.'s white bronco was not driven by Joe Biden.
01:07Not true. Not true.
01:08And actually, Jonathan Bailey is people's sexiest man alive.
01:14So that's good. That's great.
01:17During a White House event yesterday,
01:18President Trump complained that he does not get credit
01:21for his accomplishments,
01:22but does get credit for other peoples.
01:26That's right, President Trump complained that he does not get
01:29credit for his accomplishments and added,
01:31quote,
01:31If I came up with a cure for cancer,
01:33they would say he should have done it years ago.
01:36I don't know. I feel like if you came up with a cure for cancer,
01:39I would lose respect for cancer.
01:44During the same event, President Trump said that crazed shooters
01:48only go after consequential presidents and added that John F. Kennedy
01:52was consequential because, quote, there was a glamor there.
01:55Yeah, that's why they're going after you.
01:58The glamor.
02:01Can we go? I have an interesting question about that one, Wally.
02:04Can we go back to the two cards?
02:05I feel like you spelled glamor two different ways.
02:08All right, so there's the punch line with the U.
02:11And in the first one, just the no.
02:14Yeah.
02:16I was just in London, so that's the London spelling,
02:19the British spelling.
02:19Oh, you were in London, so you wanted to do one for us
02:21and one for them?
02:23Understood.
02:24I respect.
02:26Tip of the cap, Wally.
02:29Cheerio.
02:30North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was re-elected yesterday
02:34as the head of the ruling political party,
02:36I think because he got out and really talked to the people,
02:39unlike his opponent, who never left his grave.
02:46The CEO of Domino's said in a new interview
02:49that the pizza chain is looking to double its market share,
02:52in part by targeting lower-income customers.
02:55Oh, you mean hoping rich people order Domino's hasn't worked?
03:01What's the matter?
03:02They can't read the pizza tracker through their monocle?
03:07Rich people are still wearing monocles, right?
03:10I'm worried that was a dated reference.
03:13Did you see a lot of monocles over in foggy London town?
03:15I did, actually, yeah.
03:18So lucky that we have Wally now to go to for her.
03:21Our England news.
03:25New York-based food companies issued a recall
03:27for more than 9,000 pounds of family-size,
03:31Italian-style frozen meatballs,
03:33after customers reported finding pieces of metal.
03:36Though, if they were really Italian-style,
03:38the company would have just said,
03:39Eat around it!
03:47The... I don't even... I don't know.
03:51You been to Italy recently? Is that how they talk?
03:53No, okay. Sorry.
03:55All right.
03:56The pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk announced today
04:00that it will reduce the cost of its weight-loss drugs
04:03in 2027 by up to 50%.
04:05Of course, the hard part will be keeping it off.
04:11Guess what? That was a test, and you all passed.
04:16Finally, the restaurant chain Applebee's this week
04:18began offering a New Orleans-themed Big Easy burger,
04:22which features pepper jack cheese, spicy mustard,
04:25and dewy sausage.
04:26And this is nice. A jazz funeral.
04:32And that was a monologue, everybody!
04:36We got a great show for you tonight.
04:39He's a fantastic actor.
04:42You know from his starring role on Monk,
04:44as well as the marvelous Mrs. Maisel,

05:35How about that, you guys?
05:3612th anniversary.
05:39And, you know, it's in my office today trying to reflect,
05:42uh, and couldn't come up with anything.
05:48Not a single memory.
05:49And you know why?
05:50Because I'm always looking forward.
05:53You know what? You know what the best SNL...
05:55You know what the best Late Night we're ever going to do?
05:56I said SNL.
05:59While I'm talking about living in the future, I'm like,
06:02you know, SNL... I mean, Late Night!
06:05You know what the best show we're ever going to do is?
06:07Tonight.
06:15You were, like, write down some remarks.
06:17I'm like, I'll wing it.
06:20The 98th Academy Awards. I've moved on.
06:22The 98th Academy Awards are just a few weeks away.
06:26Here to take us through the nominees is late-night writer
06:28and Criterion Closet enthusiast Mike Scollins
06:32with the Scollywood Minute.
06:40What's up, Seth?
06:41Hey, Scollins.
06:43Just before we start, you know, I bring you out to do these
06:45because you're a big movie fan.
06:47We love your insights, but, you know, I do feel like
06:50they always just turn into a roast of me.
06:53Oh, that was the old me. You're living in the past.
06:55All right. That's great to hear,
06:57because I am very excited about this.
06:59So let's talk about the movies.
07:02All right. And as you insisted,
07:04we'll start with the white men.
07:05Oh, my God.
07:08Up first, Ethan Hawks nominated for Best Actor in Blue Moon.
07:12Now, Blue Moon's about a guy who's jealous
07:14of his more talented partner's success.
07:16It... Oh.
07:21It's the wrong photo.
07:23That's a shame.
07:24But I get why they would make that mistake.
07:25Oh, come on!
07:27I'm kidding! Your podcast is just as good.
07:34Besides, the guy in Blue Moon clearly has a drinking problem.
07:42Wait. Is this movie about you?
07:44You know what? Just move on from Blue Moon.
07:46All right. All right. You got it.
07:47We've also got Sinners,
07:48the most nominated movie in Oscar history.
07:56Applause kind of feels like stolen valor, but all right.
08:00Now, this movie was really scary.
08:02Uh, for us, because of the vampires,
08:03and for Seth, because of the interracial couple.
08:06Scullins!
08:09You can't say that!
08:11Okay. Well, now I have nothing for one battle after another.
08:14Oh, my God.
08:16What else is nominated?
08:18Sentimental Value.
08:19Great.
08:25Seth hasn't gone through this many tissues in the theater
08:28since The Housemaid.
08:29No!
08:35Also nominated for Best Picture, F1.
08:39I wouldn't have thought of that.
08:43Seth, weren't you just talking about F1?
08:45Was I?
08:47Yeah, yeah. You said I want to F1 of the interns?
08:49How?
08:53How have we allowed this to be a recurring segment?
08:58Just tell me who's the best actress.
09:01Your wife when she has an orgasm.
09:05In a film.
09:07Oh, she would never let you film that.
09:09Okay, you know what?
09:11But it's snubs. Let's talk about Oscar snubs.
09:14Who was snubbed this year?
09:16Bradley Cooper's Is This Thing On?
09:18Not to be confused with Seth's movie,
09:19Is This Thing In?
09:20Okay, you know what?
09:26That's not a real movie. You made that up.
09:28Would you rather I talk about your real movie?
09:30No, no, no. Just go...
09:33Go back to Is This Thing In?
09:36But the biggest snub was from my king,
09:38Adam Sandler and Jay Kelly.
09:39Oh, man. Yeah, I love that movie.
09:41When they showed clips of Clooney's best work
09:44and he got all teary-eyed.
09:46Well, I'm glad you think so, Seth,
09:47because I had to make one for you.
09:53Where is it?
09:54They couldn't find anything.
09:57You know what? We're done. We're done.
09:58I can't believe I trust you.
09:59What is the one thing you're hoping to see at the Oscars?
10:02You and the In Memoriam.
10:07You were confident about that one as the closer?
10:11I felt pretty good about it.
10:12Mike Scully, ladies and gentlemen!
10:15And he's the best actor.
10:17You will be right back with Tony Salud!
10:23Thank you, Steve.
10:39Electric vehicles are everywhere these days,
10:41and more drivers are discovering the benefits of owning an EV.
10:45I found this out firsthand this past weekend.
10:48Check it out.
10:48I guess this is the address.
10:52Knock on garage door three times and say sha-na-na.
10:58Sha-na-na!
11:07Lutz, how you like me now?
11:10What is this?
11:11It's my new EV.
11:12You like?
11:13Sure, but when you texted me to meet you here, you said it was urgent.
11:16Yeah, I urgently needed you to see my cool new EV.
11:19Lutz, I had to take three different subway lines and two buses to get here.
11:22It took me an hour and 45 minutes.
11:23And when you see this puppy, you'll know it was worth it.
11:26Get in here!
11:27All right, fine, but only because it's freezing.
11:29300 to 400.
11:31What's that?
11:32Well, most people think that EVs don't have a lot of range,
11:35but many can go 300 to 400 miles on one charge.
11:39That is more than I thought.
11:40180 to 200.
11:41Oh, is that the number of miles you get driving a regular car?
11:44No, it's my target weight from a new diet.
11:46Okay, so we can just stop saying numbers now.
11:4810-4.
11:49Lutz.
11:496-7.
11:50Stop it.
11:51Okay.
11:52Hey, you want to check out the interior?
11:53Sure.
11:54But before you do, you want to throw your bag in the frunk?
11:57It's where I keep all my road trip snacks.
12:00I think I'll just keep my bag with me.
12:02Okay.
12:04Wow.
12:05This is actually really nice.
12:07And there's way less maintenance to worry about with these bad boys.
12:10I won't have to ignore a check engine light anymore.
12:13Oh, you should never ignore those.
12:15Oh, did you know that you can just charge at night from your home while you sleep?
12:18Or in my case, during the day while I sleep?
12:21You mean when you're supposed to be working?
12:22Oh, wait.
12:24You know what would make this even cooler?
12:26Oh, what's that?
12:27I got the illest cassette selected Try to perpetrate and you get ejected
12:32I'm shaking the block and the block is locked I ain't nothing without my box
12:40Rocking for blocks and blocks my box
12:43Okay, that's enough.
12:45I'm going home.
12:46Is it going to take you an hour and 45 minutes to get there?
12:49Yes.
12:49Wow, that's long.
12:51Yeah, I know.
12:52So, do you want a ride?
12:55Yes.
12:56My box
13:00Rocking for blocks and blocks my box
13:03Can I stop home first?
13:04Isn't that the other direction?
13:06Yes.
13:06Then no.
13:07Oh.
13:08Everything you want to know about EVs you can find at electricforall.org
13:12The way forward is electric.
13:14We'll be right back with more Late Night.
13:32Our first guest tonight is an Emmy and Tony award-winning actor you know from his work on
13:36Monk and the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
13:38He stars in Antigone.
13:40This play I read in high school, which begins performances February 26th at the Public Theater
13:45here in New York.
13:46Please welcome back to the show my very good friend, Tony Shalhoub, everybody.
14:03Hello, how are you, my friend?
14:05Nice crowd.
14:06It's a very lovely crowd.
14:07A very lovely crowd.
14:08You know, I'm very happy to see you, but a friend of ours did not make the trip this time.
14:12Yeah.
14:12Last time you were here, you had a very substantial mustache.
14:18And were you sad to see it go?
14:21Well, you know, I had had it for quite a while.
14:23So I thought maybe it was time to let it go.
14:25And then once I shaved, I was like, wow.
14:28Because they really do hide a lot of sins.
14:31Yeah.
14:32And I think my ideal look, you know, moving forward, will be like a gigantic full beard.
14:40Oh, you think you're going to go.
14:41Oh, yeah, you maybe thought you didn't go far enough last time.
14:44Yeah, I, I, this is not as good.
14:49I'm a big fan.
14:50That's not why I like the mustache.
14:51One, I just thought, especially in, like, blizzard conditions, I feel like a mustache
14:56is a very helpful thing to have, because it's like a face scarf.
14:59Yeah, it is.
15:00Exactly.
15:01Exactly.
15:02How did you, how did you feel about our, I mean, it wasn't, you're from Green Bay,
15:05Wisconsin, right?
15:06So this, this was not a blizzard.
15:07This was more what we would call like a light dusting.
15:10Yeah.
15:11Yeah.
15:13We would get so much snow there, right?
15:16And it was, you know, when we were young, we lived on a corner, right?
15:23And my dad had paved the driveway.
15:25So it was my job and my brother Dan's job to shovel the walk and the driveway.
15:30So my dad's method was to get us out there, like, when the snow started.
15:37So it would never, it would never even hit the ground.
15:40Well, well, right.
15:41But it would, you would shovel and then after two and a half hours, you'd be finished.
15:47You'd have to start over.
15:48Yeah.
15:49Because you look behind you and it's like, okay, well, there's.
15:52Was his thinking that it was like better to just like get a head start on it?
15:55I think his thinking was just get us out of the house.
15:58Yeah.
15:58Get us, get us out of his hair, get us exercising, you know, keeping us out of trouble.
16:03We've talked about the size of your family before.
16:05How many siblings again?
16:06I have nine siblings.
16:07Nine siblings.
16:08Yeah.
16:08And you do have a family reunion.
16:11You'll do it in Wisconsin when you do it, correct?
16:13Right.
16:14We do it every summer for a week.
16:16Week.
16:16And now nine siblings, that's a lot of family.
16:19How big does it swell to?
16:21It has now expanded to 52, 53 people.
16:26Wow.
16:26That's incredible.
16:27Which is a lot because we don't really cater it.
16:29And my.
16:30I was worried you were going to say we don't really like each other.
16:35Well, is it funny you should ask?
16:36Because we.
16:38My daughter, Josie, and I just finished a cookbook.
16:43Actually, it's a kind of a family reunion.
16:46All right.
16:47This is fair.
16:48I'm glad we set up.
16:48There's a family reunion cookbook.
16:50Well, it's a kind of a.
16:51Yeah.
16:52It started out as we were going to do.
16:53Like, let's do like.
16:54Of all the family recipes.
16:56Well, like 100 recipes.
16:57And we sold this idea to Simon & Schuster.
16:59They're really very supportive of us.
17:01But then as we started going, we started like submitting stories.
17:05It's like, well, how about more stories and fewer recipes?
17:08Right.
17:08Now we're down to like 20 recipes.
17:11And just the rest is just narrative, which is.
17:14I will say as titles go, I think this is a great title for a cookbook about getting together with
17:20your family.
17:20Yeah.
17:21We thought they'd never leave.
17:23Yeah.
17:25Yeah.
17:25That's it.
17:26That's really great.
17:28It comes out.
17:32It comes out in the fall.
17:33It comes out in the fall.
17:34You wrote it with Josie.
17:36Josie and I did it together.
17:37But again, these were a lot of your family stories.
17:41Right.
17:41So Josie was probably too young to obviously have experienced them.
17:44Did you have to then lean on your siblings for memory?
17:47Right.
17:48I did.
17:49Some of these stories, you know, they were just sort of part of the family lore.
17:52Right.
17:52But I was young for some of that, some of those events, some of those stories.
17:57So I was constantly calling my older brothers and sisters like, hey, I need, you know, give me what you
18:02got.
18:02I got so many insights and details.
18:06We did a deep dive with each one.
18:08So really, really cool, cool family stories.
18:12And I mean, you can imagine it's chaos.
18:13You, this was, I think, you were too young for this one.
18:17But tell us the story about your dad getting a summer job for all of his children.
18:22Yeah.
18:23So we spend our summers where we actually now do our reunions in this little resort area in northeastern Wisconsin.
18:30And there was a restaurant up there, you know, with mostly a seasonal place.
18:34And the owners didn't want to run it one summer.
18:37They had something else going on.
18:38So they wanted to rent it out.
18:40And my father, you know, stepped in and was like, my kids will do it.
18:45My, we'll take it.
18:48Take it for the whole summer.
18:48Had not told my siblings the plan before making the deal.
18:53So that's one of the stories.
18:55And so they all just went in there with not a lot of experience and ran a very, very busy
19:00seven day a week, three meals a day.
19:03Wait, they managed a restaurant?
19:04They ran a, they managed, you know, dealt with the vendors, took the food, bought the, waited on tables.
19:12Now, obviously, he wasn't honest with your siblings before he got the job.
19:16Was he honest with the people who own the restaurant?
19:18Well.
19:22Was he like, I've got a team of restauranteurs who will take it over?
19:26I mean, yeah, define honest.
19:28Yeah.
19:28What he said was, I've got a, you know, nine kids, you know, they're great.
19:33They're hard workers.
19:34They're, they'd be happy to do it.
19:36They were, let's just say they weren't all that happy to do it.
19:39Well, it's one thing to be like, because when you like wait tables at a summer job, like you can
19:43call in.
19:44Like if you're too hungover, you can call in and be like, I'm sick today.
19:46When you're managing a restaurant.
19:49Yeah, you're opening it in the morning.
19:51You're, you know, you're locking it up at night.
19:53And I feel like now I felt bad that you had to shovel the walk, but I think you had
19:57the easiest job your dad ever got.
19:58Absolutely.
20:00This is very exciting.
20:01Antigone.
20:01This is not a, this is not a fresh new play.
20:04This is the, this is the original Antigone.
20:06Well, it's based on the original.
20:08The original is from like 400 B.C. or something.
20:11But this is an updated version called Antigone, this play I read in high school.
20:15And did you read it in high school?
20:17Did you have any memories of reading it?
20:18I'm sure I read it.
20:19I have no memories of it.
20:20Yeah.
20:20But, and that's why everyone needs to see the play because this art production really, even though it's a modern
20:27sort of take on the story, kind of catches people up on the original and makes it super relatable because
20:33it's about governance.
20:34And it's about, you know, the squelching of, you know, civil rights, but individual rights, especially for women and about
20:44the complexity of, of, of governance.
20:47And it's, could not be more timely.
20:49That's fantastic.
20:50Climate we're in.
20:51It's very exciting to have you on, on stage.
20:54It's very exciting to have you on screen.
20:57Bolio, a spirit of the Mustang.
20:59Okay.
20:59Yeah.
21:00This is a friend of mine.
21:01A friend of ours got into where this is a movie that Brooke and I are co-producers on.
21:06And we also do cameo parts in it.
21:08Really fun comedy.
21:09Eugene Cordero is a very funny guy.
21:10Eugene and, and, uh, and Gabe Hogan and a lot of other really great funny people.
21:16Uh, my friend Jim Issa directed it and co-wrote it and, uh, it's going to be coming out later
21:20this year.
21:21I was just going to mention really quickly too.
21:23Um, I've been busy.
21:24So there's, uh, uh, another, uh, show, a TV, uh, uh, streamer that's starting March 1st.
21:31Okay.
21:32Uh, called American Classic.
21:33You have been busy.
21:34Which is about Kevin Kline and Laura Linney.
21:36And it's about, it's sort of a love letter, love letter to the American theater.
21:40Really funny, really beautiful.
21:42Uh, very proud of that one.
21:43That's fantastic.
21:44I'm glad you're talking about.
21:47I'm glad, by the way, do you have something else?
21:49Did I mention that it premieres on MGM Plus?
21:52MGM Plus is where it premieres.
21:54I'm very happy that you are talking about stuff that's about to come out.
21:57Because I was about to shout out the fact that Cars is 20 years old.
22:03Which is, like, less helpful.
22:07We're, we really, we want to help Cars do great numbers this week.
22:11Yes, please.
22:12Um, you know, um, my children are lucky enough, uh, to know you personally.
22:16Um.
22:17By the way, I did see the segment where you had them on the show.
22:21So, see, it reminded me, like, because I've been working with my daughter.
22:24And she's now, um, working together on the book.
22:27But also, she has started a production company.
22:30And we're involved in projects with her.
22:32She's getting into writing and producing.
22:34And, and it's, it's so, it's great working with your kids.
22:38It is.
22:38When I saw your three here, I sort of think, well, they're probably taking over your show.
22:43Yeah.
22:44I mean, you're going to be working for them.
22:47Oh, a hundred.
22:47By the way, like, when it was over, they talked to me like my agent.
22:51They were like, that's great.
22:52We should get lunch and talk about other stuff.
22:54Yeah.
22:55Yeah.
22:56Um, but they're very excited.
22:58You know, when they watched Cars and we were like, yo, that's Uncle Tony's voice.
23:01And, and, uh, they don't like it.
23:03Yeah.
23:04They don't, they don't like the voice of the movie.
23:05No, they like, they like this character and they like you.
23:08They didn't like knowing you were this.
23:10Oh.
23:12They were like, ah, they're like, the magic's gone.
23:15Oh.
23:16Yeah.
23:16So, you know, next, in the future, when you do voiceover work, just don't tell us.
23:20Now they know what my wife feels like.
23:21Yeah.
23:23How dare you?
23:24She misses the mustache.
23:25Just to be honest, she misses.
23:26She really does.
23:28Thanks for being here.
23:28It's always a pleasure to see you.
23:30Tony, salute everyone.
23:32Antigone, this play I read in high school begins performances this Thursday at the Public
23:36Theater.
23:37We'll be right back with Penny Slate.
23:57Welcome back, everybody.
23:58Our next guest is an Emmy-nominated actress, comedian, and best-selling author.
24:03You know from shows like Dying for Sex and Parks and Recreation, as well as her film,
24:07Marcelle the Shell with Shoes On.
24:09She's making her Broadway debut in All Out, Comedy About Ambition, which is playing at the
24:13Nederlander Theater.
24:14Please welcome back to the show our friend Jenny Slate, everybody.
24:32Hi, how are you?
24:35You look amazing.
24:36Amazing outfit.
24:38So I feel that this outfit is like an expression of my personality, exactly.
24:43Yeah.
24:43It's like, oh, what's Jenny like?
24:44She's like this.
24:45Yeah.
24:46I think when I saw it, I was like, oh, do they call that the Jenny?
24:49Yeah, they should.
24:50They should call it the Jenny.
24:51I'd love to get paid for that.
24:52Oh, yeah.
24:53Yeah.
24:53We can see if we can figure that.
24:54Can we figure that?
24:55We can get her paid for that.
24:55Yeah.
24:56It happened here.
24:57I'm very happy that you are making your Broadway debut.
25:00This is written by Simon Rich.
25:02Totally.
25:05You share the stage with an incredible cast, Jake Shane, Nicholas Braun, Ray Romano.
25:11Holy moly.
25:12How have you enjoyed their company so far?
25:14Whoa, I really like them a lot.
25:18If my life just became those are my only friends, I love all my other friends, but I'd be fine.
25:23Yeah.
25:23I love them.
25:25And, you know, Ray Romano, it's just like, you've got to be kidding me, man.
25:29Yeah.
25:29He is so nice and he's so good at acting.
25:32And I already was so obsessed with him before this, but I haven't told him that.
25:36Yeah.
25:36Awesome to say it here.
25:38I, you know, my parents, to this day, when I go home and visit them, they have taped
25:44a rerun of Everybody Loves Raymond.
25:47That is, and so we just sit and watch it.
25:49Whoa.
25:50It's so great.
25:51It's so great.
25:52Yeah.
25:52And now that I, like, know him a little and I, like, love him, I feel like he doesn't
25:57get treated well by his family in that show.
25:58Yeah.
25:59I agree.
26:00I'm just like, give him a break.
26:01I agree.
26:02Just, oh my gosh, they say they love Raymond, but do they?
26:04Do they?
26:05You know?
26:06I should have had a question mark at the end of that title.
26:08Man, do they?
26:09Yeah, everybody loves Raymond.
26:12You're not showing it.
26:13Yeah.
26:14How are your nerves?
26:15How are your Broadway nerves?
26:16What do they seem like?
26:19They're fine!
26:22Yeah, we, um, well, here's the thing.
26:26Okay, here's the thing.
26:29I, I, on the positive side, I like, like, magic-y stuff, like making a wish on an eyelash,
26:35for example.
26:36A shooting star, I'm like, I wish, you know, whatever.
26:40Negative side, I'm a bit superstitious.
26:42Uh-huh.
26:43And it kind of is like, it can be like a sort of stupid-y karma kind of thing, where
26:47I'm
26:47like, oh, if I, I like, did that thing, so that will probably happen to me.
26:52Okay, let me just, sorry.
26:53So to get to what I'm talking about, everyone is like, what?
26:59Is this the play?
27:00Um, so unfortunately, but fortunately for me, I have spent over a decade taking a lot
27:08of personal time watching something on YouTube that is called Peter Pan Fails.
27:15Okay.
27:16Okay.
27:17And I'm like, I'm like, okay, this is, for a while, it was great, because it's like,
27:22here's what this is.
27:23Okay.
27:23Someone pulls the wrong pulley, okay?
27:26They pull the wrong...
27:27During a stage production of Peter Pan.
27:29Of Peter Pan.
27:30Okay.
27:30You know, all these kids are like, tender shepherd, and then they like, go to sleep.
27:34And, and, and they're supposed to be sleeping, and someone, God bless us all, backstage is
27:40like, and now cue Peter, but instead they just rip someone else out of their bed.
27:46And they, and like, they bonk the wall, and they have to like, stay in character.
27:51It's like, and there's so many of these.
27:53There's one where like, the window's open, it's like, da-na-na-na-na, Peter's like,
27:57it's about to come, you can feel it in your spirit.
27:59And like, Peter lands, and he's like, yeah, and then the whole stage falls over.
28:05But now I'm like, oh, no, now I made all, you know, we're all laughing.
28:08Oh, so you think this bad stuff is going to happen to you because you've taken so much joy
28:12from it.
28:12That's right.
28:13It's like, oh, you think that's funny?
28:14Now you're going to fall right off the stage, you idiot.
28:16Is there a, is there a word, is there a favorite, uh, a Peter Pan fail?
28:22Could you maybe?
28:24Oh, sorry.
28:26There, there happens to be, my body knew the score.
28:30Yeah, yeah.
28:31And, uh, could you maybe, would you mind, uh, maybe giving us a staged rendition of that?
28:36I would love to do that.
28:37Okay, okay, here's what happens.
28:39It's like, Wendy is sleeping.
28:41Okay.
28:43She's sleeping.
28:44She's like, and all of a sudden she's just like, and she gets knocked against the wall,
28:52but she fully stays in character and she, they, they like lower her down.
28:56She's like, she stays in character.
29:00She's, she's in a nightgown.
29:02She looks like a fricking ghost.
29:03She goes, she goes, like, ooh, must have been a dream, mama.
29:08And then she's like, obviously so scared to be in the play.
29:13And she's like, but she's Wendy still.
29:15She's Wendy, but she's clearly like Kathleen from Connecticut.
29:19And she's like, oh my God.
29:21And then she just walks back to her bed.
29:23She's like, and then she just gets into her bed.
29:30And it's, and they hit the wall so hard, man.
29:33They just hit it.
29:35They hit it so hard.
29:37Oh my God.
29:38It's like my favorite thing.
29:41And I really hope none of these actors feel bad.
29:43Like it's not their fault that someone ripped the wrong cord.
29:46Yeah.
29:46You know?
29:47I mean, I would say like, like based on karma,
29:50you should never let anybody clip a wire on you.
29:52Obviously, you know that.
29:53Yeah.
29:54Yeah.
29:54Completely.
29:55And I do.
29:55I mean, it's right now.
29:56Oh, you mean the wire for the thing.
29:58Because like, that's like, you're safe as long.
30:00I mean, a lot of this seems like that's not.
30:02You know what I mean?
30:03Like once you let somebody clip into you,
30:05like then you're in God's hands.
30:07Yeah.
30:08As if I'm ever going to be cast in anything
30:10where I have to be on a wire, you know?
30:12Oh, I think you could be on a wire.
30:14You think?
30:15Yeah.
30:15Like as a bag of laundry.
30:19Like, it's just like, I just, like you can only do,
30:22every actor has their limits.
30:23It's like, look, I can't do a British accent.
30:25I just sound like Mrs. Doubtfire.
30:26It's not happening.
30:28And also it's like, I'm not great at like being tough.
30:31Yeah.
30:32And I feel like if you plug me into a wire,
30:34I would just scream the whole time and say,
30:35I want to get down.
30:36Oh, right, right, right.
30:37And that would, and you think that would take people
30:39out of the play?
30:39Yeah.
30:41You never know.
30:42Speaking of, you have, you have come here in the past.
30:45Yeah.
30:46This isn't a gotcha show or anything.
30:48Isn't it, though?
30:48No.
30:49But you, I remember you saying once,
30:51like, you don't actually like seeing plays.
30:54I did say that.
30:55And I even said it in my last special, like, first joke.
30:58Yeah.
30:58For sure.
30:59And so now you're in, I mean, again,
31:00it's sort of a staged reading,
31:02but I think a lot of people, once it has a playbill,
31:04like, it's technically.
31:05That's a play.
31:06So you're in a play.
31:07Yeah.
31:07And so, so what happened?
31:11Yeah, totally.
31:12Um.
31:15Uh, okay.
31:16Yeah.
31:17This play I like to be in.
31:18Okay, great.
31:19I don't know that I want to be in another one.
31:22Okay.
31:22Because if Ray Romano and Jake Shane and Nick Bronner,
31:25if they're not in, I'm not doing it.
31:26Right.
31:27You're in for the next Romano play.
31:28Right.
31:29Yeah.
31:29Annie starring Ray Romano.
31:30I'll be Annie.
31:31Fine.
31:31I'll do it.
31:32Um, but I don't know if I really want to see plays
31:36or be in them again.
31:38And it's just like, it's a little bit too much.
31:41It's like some, usually I'm like, look, I know you're you.
31:44You know, like a person comes out.
31:45I'm like, you're not.
31:46You're you.
31:47I see.
31:47You know what I mean?
31:48So you just, you see actors, you don't get lost in the play.
31:51Right.
31:51But then I was like, maybe I should, maybe I should just take that back.
31:55Maybe I should give it another try because I'm about to be in a play.
31:57So let me not be a hypocrite.
31:59Recently, I went, let me not be a hypocrite.
32:02Recently, I went to a play.
32:03Yeah.
32:04And I expected to kind of be like, it's a play.
32:07And instead what happened, unfortunately,
32:10was that I became very involved.
32:13In that the, I went to see Michelle Williams and Anna Christie.
32:17Fantastic.
32:17I was lucky enough to see it as well.
32:19Genius.
32:19Yep.
32:20Totally.
32:22Yep.
32:22Really good.
32:25Ooh, whoa-ey.
32:26There's a young man in that play.
32:28Yeah.
32:29He was pretty sexual.
32:30Yeah.
32:30Okay.
32:31I was watching the play and I became completely unaware of how I was relating to my own body.
32:37I was fully turned on.
32:39I like had drool coming out of my mouth.
32:42I was freaked out by the play and that it like made me too horny.
32:46And I was like, this is why you can't go to plays.
32:47Yeah.
32:49Like, they're crazy.
32:49Do you feel like you were alone in your horniness or did you sort of feel like maybe it was
32:53affecting other people?
32:54Oh, everyone in that audience and on the big group text I was on afterwards, everyone was like, did you
33:00guys see that guy?
33:00Like, he was like, growling.
33:02He was like, I'm going to marry you.
33:05You're going to make me marry you.
33:07Like, which is also, like, I would say my sexuality, unfortunately, is, like, really formed by the beast and Beauty
33:14and the Beast being like, you'll have dinner with me tonight!
33:17Like that, like, I'm like, oh, I'm in love with you.
33:20You like that energy.
33:21Yeah.
33:21You will go out with me!
33:25That guy did have, that was a very, that's a, yeah, it was a lot.
33:29Could you, I hate to put you on the spot.
33:31Can I ask you something real quick?
33:32Like, could you, what, could you just act out a quick scene with that gentleman from the play if he
33:37was on a wire that got him, sort of?
33:39Oh, my God.
33:41Yeah, okay.
33:42Okay, so this guy, he's like, I want to marry you!
33:47Like, that's it.
33:48And then he just gets yoinked up.
33:50It's yoinked up.
33:51But then maybe he gets, he gets slammed, like, slammed, just slammed into the side of the boat.
33:56But he doesn't care.
33:57But he doesn't care because he's such a tough guy.
33:58Because he's so in love.
33:59He's like, this isn't going to stop me.
34:01You're going to marry me tonight, and we're going to make love!
34:06I think the nightmare for, like, a tough male actor would be if they lower you back, but your toes
34:10just stay a little bit.
34:13Like, you'd either want to be way high or all the way down.
34:15But, like, that, it's tough to be tough when you're just a little.
34:18To be tippy-toes, to be tippy-toes married.
34:21Well, that's, like, the best part of the studio, when Bryan Cranston, I don't know if anybody loves the studio,
34:27but he's just, like, marionetting.
34:30A little tippy-toes.
34:31Very hard to be masculine when it's just the tippy-toes.
34:34Oh, I agree.
34:35And, you know, we're all trying our best.
34:37Yeah.
34:38That's all we can do.
34:40I love seeing you everywhere.
34:42I'm very excited people can see you here.
34:44Me too.
34:44Thank you for being back, Jenny.
34:46You are just a delight.
34:47Jenny Sander, Honey All Out, Comedy Bottom,
34:50Big Ten, Tanya, Denise, Miranda, Cedar on Broadway.
34:51We'll be right back with Chef Michael Vignola.
35:13We're here with Michael Vignola, everybody!
35:16Chef partner of the 86 and co-creator of The Corner Store.
35:20And he's going to show us how to cook the perfect steak.
35:23It's lovely to have you here.
35:24Thank you, Chef.
35:25I'm so happy to have you.
35:26Appreciate it.
35:27Congratulations on 12 years.
35:28Congratulations on your new restaurant.
35:30Very exciting.
35:31I've heard great things.
35:33And I know it's very hard to start a restaurant anywhere,
35:36and especially in New York City.
35:37And you're off to a hot start.
35:39Congratulations.
35:39We're trying hard at the 86,
35:40our new American steakhouse in New York.
35:42And thank you.
35:43And I'm glad we're starting with the Negroni.
35:45Absolutely.
35:47Oh.
35:48We're going to talk some beef.
35:49Okay, great.
35:50You enjoy your cocktail.
35:50Let's talk beef.
35:51Okay, great.
35:51We showcase a bunch of different cuts of steak in the 86,
35:55all ethically sourced, all over the world.
35:57I've been doing this a long time.
35:58I have some great relationship with some great ranches.
36:00Everything from dry-aged cote to bufs,
36:02beautiful big hunks of meat with that beautiful bark on there.
36:04That's great.
36:06Our porterhouse, best of both worlds,
36:08Vaca Vieja, a special program just for us
36:10for old dairy cows turned wagyu,
36:12served on your plate here.
36:13Today, since we're at 30 Rock,
36:15we're going to talk about the great New York strip.
36:17Beautiful.
36:17Beautiful cut of meat.
36:19You're going to season it up liberally for us.
36:21Okay.
36:22Cooking a great steak is really about
36:23the sum is greater than the parts.
36:24You're going to start with kosher salt.
36:26Season up high, go for it.
36:27Okay.
36:27Nice and high.
36:28It's going to spread out like a shotgun.
36:29The height is important?
36:31All over, right?
36:31Because if you went close, you'd just do that.
36:33Yeah, yeah.
36:33You want to get up really high.
36:34Yes.
36:34Make a mess.
36:35Look at this.
36:35Do the same thing with the pepper now.
36:37Okay.
36:37This is Madagascar black pepper.
36:39We crack it by hand.
36:40We add a little bit of water so it doesn't burn.
36:42A little pro tip for you.
36:44Up high.
36:44Crack it in there.
36:45Now we're going to, to get this beautiful crust,
36:47we're going to slap it in there.
36:48Okay, great.
36:49Oh, are you going to do the other side?
36:50Got to get both sides.
36:51I mean, I think like sometimes people are intimidated
36:53by cooking a steak and you're really making it seem super easy.
36:56I promise you it is.
36:57The first thing you got to really remember
36:58is turn off all your smoke detectors.
36:59If you're in New York or anywhere in an apartment,
37:01turn off all your smoke alarms.
37:02I promise we're going to start a little bit of a fire.
37:04Beautiful cast iron pan.
37:06Get it ripping hot.
37:07All right.
37:07When I say ripping, you're going to see the smoke come out there.
37:09You ready?
37:10We're going to go in there
37:10and we're going to produce this beautiful crust.
37:13Okay.
37:13We have our steak.
37:14It's nice and seasoned.
37:15And we're going to get it in there.
37:16Ready?
37:16Yeah.
37:17Oh, it did sizzle.
37:18It did.
37:18Very good sizzling.
37:19Yes.
37:20For steak this size,
37:21you're going to ask me how long to cook it, right?
37:22No.
37:23No.
37:23All right.
37:23Well, I'm going to tell you that anyway.
37:24I was going to ask you.
37:25I was going to ask.
37:25How long do you cook it?
37:26We're going to do about four minutes on each side.
37:28Okay, great.
37:29Right?
37:29We're going to let it get a good crust.
37:30Let it sit there.
37:30Let it get nice and charred and crusty.
37:32Gotcha.
37:33Do you overthink it
37:34or do you just say it's going to be four minutes?
37:35Do you ever have to keep an eye on it?
37:37No.
37:38Internally, that temperature and that clock
37:39is just always kind of running.
37:40Okay, great.
37:41So you kind of know what you're doing.
37:43You know, the one thing that everybody does at home
37:44is they tend to move their meat around
37:46when they're on the grill and this and that.
37:47Just leave it alone.
37:47Just leave it alone.
37:48Don't mess with it.
37:49Let it do its job.
37:50Let the steak cook itself.
37:51Just let the steak do itself.
37:53Exactly.
37:54So we're going to pretend we have been cooking this.
37:56We're going to pretend?
37:57Yeah.
37:57And then we're going to look at a finished one?
37:58Well, from the Magic Attack.
37:59Oh, my goodness.
38:01Oh, my goodness.
38:05Goodness gracious.
38:06You can see that beautiful char.
38:07Now, I'm sorry to interrupt,
38:08but I've just noticed for the first time
38:09that during the entirety of this,
38:11there's been a duck's head on the table.
38:15One of our signature dishes at the 86
38:17is our dry-aged duck.
38:18I get these amazing ducks from Joe Jurgowitz.
38:20I like to use the entire animal.
38:21So there you have a tête de cochon.
38:23Okay.
38:23Or tête de cochon.
38:24Do you eat the tête de cochon?
38:26Yes.
38:26So this is the head and the neck.
38:27It is stuffed with a foie gras and duck sausage.
38:31Okay.
38:31We then take it, we slice it,
38:32and we carve it with this beautiful dry-aged duck.
38:34Oh, my God.
38:34I'm sure...
38:35You want to see what it looks like inside?
38:36Yeah, sure.
38:36Yeah, why not?
38:37We're doing TV.
38:38Oh, my God.
38:39Here you go.
38:40You ready?
38:40So there's this beautiful sausage
38:42right on the inside.
38:43Sorry, what part of the duck is that?
38:45So this is the neck and the head.
38:47Wow.
38:47Literally.
38:48You can see it, right?
38:49I mean, I knew that was...
38:52The neck and the head.
38:53The neck and the head.
38:54We showcase the entire animal.
38:56That's fantastic.
38:57And it's so good for the duck.
38:59Yeah, well, you know,
39:00you don't want it to go to waste.
39:01It means so much to...
39:02Yeah.
39:03We're going to let our steak rest.
39:04Okay, great.
39:04How long did you let it rest?
39:05Half the time it took you to cook.
39:07Okay.
39:07We're cooking eight minutes.
39:07We're letting it rest for four.
39:08Okay, great.
39:09Right?
39:09When your mom was cooked,
39:10you cut it off.
39:11It bled all over the table.
39:12It was a terrible steak.
39:13Yep.
39:13We don't have that problem.
39:14How dare you say that about my mother?
39:15Well, my mother, maybe.
39:16Okay.
39:17My mother liked to make things crispy.
39:18I love you, Mom.
39:20We're going to slice it up beautifully,
39:22and that is your perfect medium-rare steak.
39:24That is gorgeous.
39:27And then how do you eat it with ketchup?
39:29Oh, sometimes, you know.
39:31If my son is around,
39:32definitely there's ketchup.
39:33Anything you can to get to eat.
39:34Can I have a piece of the steak?
39:36Absolutely.
39:36I want you to sauté it up, though, first.
39:37All right, so how much more?
39:38Eh, a little bit of butter.
39:40Finish it off.
39:41Oh, my God, butter.
39:41Yeah, butter makes everything better, right?
39:43It's good butter.
39:44It's, like, for the healthy heart.
39:45Yeah, of course.
39:45All right, and then wear the salt or no?
39:47Yeah, salt it up.
39:48There we go.
39:49Look at this.
39:49I want a salt.
39:50Are you a salt guy?
39:51I love it.
39:51I love salt.
39:52Cheers.
39:52All right, here we go.
39:53Cheers.
39:53Look at this.
39:56That's a good taste.
