Neither do i and this guy definitely doesnt know. As Hurricane Irma hit the caribbean this morning President Trump tweeted, hurricane looks like largest ever recorded in the atlantic. Hey, man, could you try not to sound so excited . [ laughter ] its a hurricane, not the game of thrones finale. Speaking about Hurricane Irma, today President Trump said, quote, it looks like it could be something that will be not good. [ light laughter ] something that will be not good. You know, i have to say when a Natural Disaster is bearing down on our country it would be nice to hear from a leader who knows more words than tarzan. [ laughter ] hurricane bad. [ cheers and applause ] much wind. Not good. Cheetah save. [ light laughter ] deep cut. President trump tweeted this morning that his team is already in florida in anticipation of Hurricane Irma, saying, quote, no rest for the weary. Which explained his followup tweet. [ laughter and applause ] when asked today if he is considering military action against north korea, President Trump told reporters, certainly, thats not a first choice, but we will see what happens. Which is scary because trump doesnt usually go with his first choice. [ audience groans ] [ cheers and applause ] in response to criticisms in Hillary Clintons upcoming book, Bernie Sanders said its appropriate to look forward and not backward. Though if anyone should know, you sometimes have to look back to see the future, its bernie. [ cheers and applause ] new Research Claims that vegetarians and vegans are more likely to be depressed than carnivores. Im not surprised. Even the places they eat sound depressed. [ laughter ] what do you guys have here . Just salad. [ light laughter ] and finally, five nurses were suspended from the Denver HealthMedical Center yesterday after admiring the size of a dead patients genitals. I dont know how he died, but it sounds like he was hung. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. He is the host of the daily show on comedy central. One of our favorites, trevor noah is back on the show so excited to talk to trevor. [ cheers and applause ] she is starring in the fantastic new hbo series the deuce, Maggie Gyllenhaal is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] so youre here on a good night. Before we get to that, in published excerpts from her new book entitled what happened, Hillary Clinton blames Bernie Sanders for causing lasting damage to her during the primaries that she says paved the way for President Trumps crooked hillary campaign. Which brings us to a segment we call, hey [ cheers and applause ] seth hey, Hillary Clinton dont blame bernie because donald trump called you names. I promise you he was gonna do that anyway. [ laughter ] its not like trump watched bernie at the debates and thought, criticizing hillary, that just might work. [ laughter ] and hey you think trump needed bernies permission to be an asshole . Assholes dont ask for permission. Thats what makes them assholes. [ light laughter ] and hey why are you wasting pages on bernie . Do you think hes gonna read this . Hes not. First off, hes not a fan, second off, bernies not paying 17. 99 for a book. [ laughter ] thats like four and a half chicken noodle soups. Ill read that book for free when its at my local library and hey, bernie is not the reason you lost. You know how i know that . You beat trump by three million votes. [ cheers and applause ] if you want to blame something ancient, blame the electoral college. We shouldnt be running the most important elections on earth on a system designed over 200 years ago to appease slave owners. If American Idol ran their voting like this, wed all have a sanjaya cd in our cars. [ light laughter ] hey, youre not president , but that is not bernies fault. Hes the one guy you did beat. Also he didnt tell you not to go to wisconsin. He didnt tell you to do paid speeches to wall street. And he didnt write this terrible joke for you. I dont know who created pokemon go [ cheers ] but im trying to figure how we get them to have pokemon go to the polls. [ groans ] seth that joke was so bad, people stopped playing pokemon go. People heard that joke and went, welp, back to minecraft. [ laughter ] you also said in your book that bernies ideas were nothing more than a pipe dream. Hey, im not sure if youve been paying attention, but pipe dreams paid off great in 2016. Trump won by saying he was going to build a wall. You should have said you were going to build a stairway to heaven or an escalator to mars that you were going to make the martians pay for. [ light laughter ] and hey, we are living through a very dark time in america, but there is also an unprecedented opportunity to pull democrats and liberals together and to stand against the hate and incompetence in washington. The best way to do this is to get the people who voted for you and the people who voted for bernie on the same page. This isnt the time to complain because senator woodstock didnt roll over for you. Hey, if anything, he helped make you a better candidate. You know, the candidate who beat donald trump by three million votes. [ cheers and applause ] this has been hey [ cheers and applause ] seth you know, we dont always have enough time to cover all the recent news. So here with a recap is one of our writers, amber ruffin, in a segment we call amber says what. [ cheers and applause ] you guys, things have been crazy first of all, Hurricane Harvey caused so much devastation that i was, like, what . Then americans banded together and raised millions to help the victims, and i was, like, what, what . [ light laughter ] then, they were, like, oops here come 18 more storms and i was, like, what . [ light laughter ] and after harvey, trump didnt visit houston right away, and everyone was, like, what . [ laughter ] then he did and his wife wore fiveinch heels and i was, like, what [ laughter ] kind of flood are you going to . Then she wore a flotus hat and i was, like, what . [ laughter ] then i found out that hat is for sale. And i was like, who [ laughter ] else needs a flotus hat . You are literally the only flotus on earth [ laughter ] that would be like if the nbc store sold a hat that said the black lady who works for late night with seth meyers. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] oh, would you wear it . Okay. Then, nintendo announced that super mario is officially no longer a plumber and i was, like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what . [ laughter ] then i got worried for him and i was, like, what, what, what, what, what . [ laughter ] no, but seriously, r. I. P. Plumber mario. What, what, what, what, what, what. Then [ cheers and applause ] yeah what, what, what, what, what. Then i saw that in utah, that cop dragged that nurse out of that hospital for no reason and i was, like, what do you think she is, a black person . [ cheers and applause ] thats not what we meant when we were talking about equality. Also, you know there are no black people in your state when even the nurses are white. [ laughter ] you dont want to buy the hat anymore . Thats fine. It wasnt for sale anyway. Then i read astronaut Peggy Whitson just got back to earth after 665 days of being off the planet. She must have gotten to earth, looked around and been like, what the [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] this has been amber says what. [ cheers and applause ] seth amber ruffin, everybody.

Wow thank you very much. Seth i am so happy youre here. How are you, sir. Seth i am very impressed with your scheduling. Youre going to do the show, your show after this. Right, right, right. Seth so thank you so much for making time for us. The last time i saw you, you were telling me about buying stuff for your baby and then i went out and bought stuff for your baby. Seth yeah. I made a subtle i subtly dropped a hint to you that you should buy me something for my baby. I have a baby. I need stuff. Im like, okay. [ laughter ] all right. Seth thank you so much. Well, i am so happy to see you since the last time i saw you because, you know, trump talks about fake news a lot. Right. Seth you were also a victim of fake news which is better than being a victim of what this said. I read that you were shot dead recently. And [ laughter ] were you shocked when you read this . I was. I was. Seth yeah. Because i do the shooting. Seth yeah. I was thrown back. You know whats weird is when you see that and you dont know about it. Youre the last person to know about it. Seth right. So everyone, like, phones you and then everyone could, like, be phoning your family. And then weirdest is when people send you a text going, dude, are you dead . Seth yeah. [ laughter ] and i always go i go like, what do you think im going to [ light laughter ] so sometimes i just dont reply. Seth yeah. And then, its like, whatever. Seth they slowly piece together. This is very bad news. Yeah. But i mean, thats the internet. Welcome to fake news. Seth welcome to fake news. You and i are both in the business of talking about politics. Yes. Seth so right now were talking about the president a lot. Right. Seth ive heard you say that you actually relate to him not as a politician, but you relate to him as a standup comedian. Well, i think thats a part donald trump i relate to. You know, i always think we try and put donald trump into one box. And i think he lives in many boxes. [ laughter ] one of them being the box that hes a standup comedian. You probably see it in him. Like, he goes out, he practices his jokes, he works on his material. You can see him trying it out. Seth yes. [ light laughter ] like, hed be like, what do you think, sheriff arpaio, what do you think . What do you think . [ laughter ] seth yeah. And you can feel, hes like, yeah. And the crowd cheers and hes like, oh, im working on that bit. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] im working on that bit. He, like, works the material. He grows it. He goes out there. Seth yeah. And then you can feel when its starting to get old, like, hes like, whos going to pay . Mexico [ light laughter ] and some jokes you feel the crowd sort of like, yeah, yeah, new jokes. New jokes. We get it. [ light laughter ] seth and it is true, like, because build the wall, i feel like that was just a bit that crushed. That was it. That was it. Seth and then now he realizes he has to build a wall. Yeah. [ light laughter ] seth and it was just a killer comedy bit. Well, can you imagine if we had to do the things we said in our jokes. Seth exactly i mean, that would be, i would be like, i dont want to be a comedian anymore. Seth yeah. If larry the cable guy actually had to geter done [ laughter ] life would be impossible. Do you have any notes on his performance . Look, i mean, just work on new material. Try something new. I was impressed with him today, like, working with the democrats. That shook everybody up. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] that was i was like, okay, okay, thats something different. Thats something new. Seth yeah. And, you know, republicans were, like, wait, im sorry, the what . The what . The who . [ laughter ] even democrats are like, you want to work with us . You want to work with [ laughter ] yeah, this is new. Seth i mean, do you think democrats, when that happens, feels like is this some weird prank when he reaches out to be helpful . I dont know. I dont know. I think people are just, like, just do it. Just do it now while hes, like, here. Just do it. Seth yeah. You know, because trump goes, i walk into a room and lets make a deal and lets speak. And i think chuck shumer know him well enough. Because, i mean, they used to hang out in new york. Seth yeah, theyre new york rats. And hes like, yeah, lets do it, chuck. Lets just do the deal. And then he walks out and he goes to the republicans and hes like, i made a deal. Youre going to love it. [ laughter ] seth yeah. And Mitch Mcconnell probably got so angry his neck started wobbling. He was just like [ laughter and applause ] seth and there is its scary. Obviously a lot of people are scared by trump but you do you see some humor in it, as well. Well, heres the tough thing. You know, people say to me, they go, like, why would you guys laugh . Why would you two things, first of all, ive had the, you know, the pleasure and i guess ive been blessed enough to travel the world, see many countries. There are many countries ive been to where people dont have free speech and one of biggest things that an authoritarian leader tries to remove from you is the ability to make jokes about them. You know, in south africa you couldnt tell jokes about the government during apartheid and thats something that i cherish. Like, a person is less frightening when you are laughing. It doesnt diminish what they do, but its how we cope with these situations. And so for me, you know, when i look at donald trump i go, he is a paradox for me emotionally. On the one hand i am terrified of the notion that hes the president of the most powerful nation in the world. On the other hand, i know that im going to wake up and hes going to make me laugh. Like the two things [ laughter ] seth yeah. They coexist. [ applause ] seth yeah. They coexist. So, like this is the way i put it. This is the way i like to think of it like this. I like to think of it like donald trump is basically hes an asteroid headed towards the earth and [ light laughter ] its an asteroid, but its shaped like a penis. [ laughter and applause ] seth thats a very good way of putting it, yeah. Yeah. Seth it was like, oh, no exactly. [ laughter ] seth yeah, right. Thats what i want. Thats all i want. Seth what do you because you are so welltraveled, what do you think when you see him talking to World Leaders of other countries . Im like i thank god that we dont all speak english around the world. [ laughter ] you dont understand what a difference it makes. Like, i remember traveling to the middle east and i was like, arent you guys terrified . Like hes loud and hes crazy. And theyre like, oh, no. It just the people are like, it just sounds like hes speaking arabic in english. That is all. [ laughter ] because, like, arabic is like [ speaking Foreign Language ] and then donald trump is like [ speaking Foreign Language ] and people are just like, oh its, like, yeah. I get it. Its a cultural thing. Seth yeah. I dont think you understand how cultural it is. Like, you travel around the world and there are some places where they dont think of donald trump as being as crazy because they dont understand the nuances. In english, hes completely bonkers. Seth yeah. Right . [ light laughter ] once you translate him you find that, like, he just he loses half of his madness. [ laughter ] not all, but half. Seth we should every morning translate him into some other language and then have it translated back to us. [ laughter ] just to take the edge off of it. Youre going to stick around. Were going to talk a little bit more. Im right here. Seth well be right back with more from trevor noah, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] girl . On it. Found it imitating explosion okay, so lets. Stop. Dont mess it up squeaking ahhhh eeee all right. chuckle nice come on, dad, lets go for those who know what theyre really building. Always unstoppable.

Who would like to read . molly i reprogrammed the robots to do the inspection. Its running much faster now. See . Its amazing, molly. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back to late night. Were here with trevor noah. So with your travels, particularly, you just were in south africa. Right. Seth how do you feel like the South African perception of the United States has changed as we shifted president s . I dont want to start any wars, but i do feel when traveling home to south africa and to many countries, people almost enjoy that americas going through donald trump. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] like, i know its but not in like a bad lot for the country, just for the idea. Because you must remember, america for a long time, has been the coolest kid and like just the richest kid in the world. Seth yeah. The only thing most people in the world have had over america is the president s. So, when it was george bush, people were like, you got everything, but haha. Seth yeah. You get what im saying. And then obama comes and then its like, well, this is not fair now. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] like your president is basically like your dad. The dad of your country, and so your dads got to be quirky and funny. Your friends make fun of you. Right, because youre rich. Seth yeah. And youre famous. And then your dad is like this cool black guy who hangs out with rappers. We cant make jokes about you. But then your new dad is donald trump and then africans are, yeah, yeah, i mean theres aids, but you guys got donald trump. [ laughter and applause ] balances out. Seth so you were just back. You were with Charlize Theron and Chelsea Handler. Yeah. Seth what was that trip like . Man, that was amazing. You know, like Charlize Theron was going back to south africa to work on her outreach project. Its really amazing, helping in different aspects. Its like schooling and, you know, fighting the aids epidemic and helping women start up businesses and get educated. And it was like an Amazing Program and she said hey, do you want to join me . I know youre starting a foundation. Do you want to just see how, you know, we get things done . And i was like, this is great and lets do it. And she said, oh, and Chelsea Handler is with us. And i was like, oh, okay. Thats crazy. This is going to be weird. And it really was weird because ive been in africa before. Ive never been in africa with Chelsea Handler. Seth yeah. And like chelsea was like so were hanging out with a group of women who grow like you know, live in a village in the eastern cape of south africa and these women are like telling us their stories and like how they are overcoming the odds and, you know, how theyre fighting to become independent and how theyre educating themselves and how theyre working on everything. And then they Start Talking about some really serious issues like Domestic Abuse and how theyre trying to, you know, overthrow that idea and work with the police and the communities. Its a really touching story, and the woman goes like, yeah, you know, a lot of us are oppressed. And then chelsea just looks and like everything is going through a translator for chelsea, you know . So Chelsea Handlers there, and the message goes and it gets to her and you see her eyes and shes like, im sorry, what . And the woman says the translator says, yeah, you know, shes telling them about how theyre oppressed and these men do these bad things and chelseas like, all right. No more of this [ bleep ] [ light laughter ] ladies, its come together and kick their asses. And then she goes on this speech about how like all the ladies must just come together, lock the doors, kick the guys asses, just like go on this thing. And you see these african women, their eyes just opened up and [ laughter ] and then, you can see, and then like one woman says in xhosa, which is one of the languages, she turns to her friend and she goes, oh, shes clearly never met an african man before. And chelsea was, like, i told them, right . I was like, yeah, you told them. You told them. Seth being from south africa, i assume everyone here thinks youre an expert and asks you about it all the time. Yes. Yes, which i am. I am. To a certain degree. [ light laughter ] seth to a certain degree. Certainly more than them. What do they ask, and what do you end up telling them . Well, i mean, people ask cool questions, you know, where are you from . Whats your politics like . Whats your country . Some people still ask like weird questions like, hey, do you have animals in the street . Which is like a weird thing to ask me. Because we do, and [ laughter ] no, but its like, you have to explain it. Theres context. So i used to get offend when people said, theyd be like, do you guys have like tigers and stuff . And im, like, no, wrong continent, but right idea. So we have sometimes we have animals in the street. Like, i used to get angry. Id be like, we dont have animals. And then one day i was reading the news from back home, and the front page read zebra blocks traffic on freeway. And i was like, okay, fine. Weve got some. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] some sometimes. Some sometimes, not all of the time and yes, i have selfies with lions. But but, its not only that. Seth yeah. Theres also, like, tv and roads and stuff. Seth i when i was in south africa once, and i was talking to a white South African. Right. Seth and he said, oh, all you americans probably think oh, south africa, lions. And i remember, saying, no, apartheid. [ laughter ] not lions, youre the one part of africa where we think of Something Else first. Oh jesus. And youve been lifelong friends ever since, im assuming. Seth yeah, thick as thieves. So you do a lot of standup abroad. Is it nice to have sort of the freedom to talk about trump less . I you know what, it used to be. But now, i cannot lie, like, people say to me all the time, they go dont you get tired of donald trump . You know it as well as i do. You cannot escape the cloud of donald trump. Its as simple as that. Every news story in the world is somehow connected to donald trump now. Do you know, like, theres no degree of separation. Its just to trump. One degree, we get to trump. You go to egypt and in the news theyre talking about donald trump. You go to qatar and theyre talking about donald trump and what theyre doing in the gulf. And you move around the middle east, theyre talking about donald trump. You go to africa. Theyre like donald trump says nothing about africa, but were talking about donald trump. Everywhere you go, it ties back to so whats fun is finding how people relate to donald trump, you know what i mean . Everyone has a different connection to him and everyone has a different idea of him. So you get to a country, and youre like, whats your view of donald trump . And then they tell you. And youre like, oh, this is a new way to see the same person. You know what i mean. Its like, how do you see godzilla . From the front or the back . [ laughter ] seth right. When the head is just coming out . cause if you just see godzilla with the head, youll be like, aww, its cute. [ laughter ] seth yeah. You dont know. Its a different perspective on the same thing. Thats really what it is. [ applause ] seth and i guess were just right underneath, right . Yeah, yeah. Were here. Seth were here. Ahhhh seth thanks so much for being here. Have a great show tonight.

This is really exciting, david simon, George Pelecanos are the cocreators. David simon did the wire, and this is a really exciting show that takes place in new york in the 70s. Yes. Seth you were here in new york then, you were a kid. Not in 71. Seth okay, not in 71. No. Seth but you were here back when it was a little dirtier than now. I was. Seth what were your memories of 42nd and 2nd and that sort of times square area . Well, i came here to go to college. I went to columbia in 95. I mean, times square, by then, was already kind of like the way it is now, wasnt it . Seth yeah, but i feel like i the first time i came to new york was 95 and i still feel like it was almost now with like four porno shops left. [ laughter ] yeah, thats true. Thats true. Seth which was really jarring. Yeah. Yeah. Thats true, the combination. Seth cause youre like, am i gonna get a coffee or go into a weird booth for an hour. Thats true, thats true. I remember, actually, this is more about way over on the west side in the west village. There was a there was, i think a porn shop called harmony. Seth oh, thats lovely. [ light laughter ] i thought it was a health food store. Seth harmony does sound more like a health food store. I did walk into it one day thinking it was a health food store. [ laughter ] seth you were like, these are not granola bars. [ laughter ] i also want to compliment your wig in that scene. Thank you so much. Seth and this was a wig you selected, yes . Yes, well we did the like, the camera test which usually have had conversations with people before. Seth yeah. And you know, you have an idea of what you want to do, but like, they hadnt hired a hairwoman yet. Seth uhhuh. So i get there and theres like 20 blonde wigs and they looked okay, and then i saw one that was, like, i mean, to be totally honest i think it maybe was like a dime store clown wig or something. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] but i went okay, i dont want that wig, but i want to look like Bernadette Peters or like Hanna Schygulla from the fassbinder movies or something, and i went or like, my characters name is candy. And i wanted to look like cotton candy, like yummy. Seth yeah. You know . And so i put that wig on for the camera test and everyone got freaked out, and then i convinced them. You know, and then we got a really good one made. Actually, ive been seeing edie falco on the side of busses with my wig on. Seth yeah. Its very similar. Youre right. Shes in its like a Menendez Brothers show and she has your wig. Do you know what im talking about . Seth yeah, i do. Ive seen it on busses too. Do you think its the same wig and theyre just running it from set to set . [ laughter ] im going to text her that i want my wig back. [ laughter ] seth so you play this is about you play a sex worker who then becomes starts directing adult films because this is about the legalization of the pornography industry. And you actually, is it true that went and found sex workers who worked in new york at that time and talked to them . Yes. Before we shot the pilot, i was like getting ready to do it and i realized i had so many questions i didnt have any way to answer unless i actually talked to a sex worker. So i asked nina noble, whos the third in the triumvirate of david simon, George Pelecanos and nina is the sort of the behind the scenes other element in that group. And i said, like i need to talk to a sex worker, and she found me annie sprinkle, who was a prostitute in the early 70s and then got into porn and shes kind of like an intellectual pornographer. Seth thats probably the perfect person to find to talk to for Something Like this. [ laughter ] shes like a sex activist and shes hot and shes funny and she, you know, she answered all of the, like, real down and dirty questions i had. Seth what is because i think were on late enough at night for me to say this, but what sort of down and dirty questions did you ask . Well i was like, first of all, how many men a night . Seth yeah, i guess that would be one. So she said like eight to ten. Seth wow yeah. Seth thats really crazy. Well right, so if thats your reality and its really eight to ten men a night then who are you and how do you manage that, and you know, what does that actually feel like and if youre telling the story of that woman as opposed to the pretty woman version of this story, you know, how do you make sure to tell the truth . And you know, so i had questions like that, i said, well what do you do if its really, really cold . Do you wax, you know . Seth yeah. So, she was incredibly helpful. She also introduced me to a lot of her friends, so i ended up talking to many women in their 60s and 70s who had been involved in like the early days of porn which was particularly cool because, you know, i think, some people as they get older, get wiser and more interesting. Seth yeah. Im sure in reflecting back on it has a lot more value putting the years between it. Did they were they happy that the show was being made, that this story was being told this way as opposed to the pretty woman way . Yeah, i think so. I think a lot of people, you know, from what i can tell from twitter, sex workers who have tweeted with me, i think theyre waiting to see. Seth oh, well thats fair. And i think thats smart. And i think that i hope that theyll feel respected and pleased with what were doing. Seth im guessing itll probably just be the wig if they have an issue. [ laughter ] you know, we wouldnt pick that wig. [ laughter ] so james franco is in it. James franco plays twins in it. And he also, because he has im still reeling from the wig concept. [ laughter ] seth but james also directed a few episodes. Yeah. Seth james has a lot of jobs, it seems like he wants like i want to be two characters and direct. [ laughter ] and produce. Seth and produce, as well. Obviously there are sex scenes in the show. James directed. Was it weird to have james franco direct a sex scene of yours . Its so interesting actually, because you know my brother. Seth yes. And james is nothing like my brother, but james reminds me kind of of a brother. Seth okay, that makes sense. Like, there were times when i could be like, this doesnt seem like the way people have sex, you know . And hed be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thats true. Thats true. Very intimate conversation and yet, like not like not sexualized at all between us. It was just chill. Like, we really got along. James is actually shy. I dont know if that comes across, but i felt at first it was kind of hard to get to know him and as soon as we were in with each other, i dont know, it was very easy. Seth and do you i do feel like 70s new york is very romanticized. There were so many great films of that era and people talk about it in romantic time. Was it did you love dressing up in that 70s style . Yeah. I did. Actually, i wore short shorts like all that summer. Which is probably, i mean i didnt do that this summer. [ laughter ] but i did. Also, i love those movies. I mean, im sure 70s new york was like pretty intense. Seth yeah, well, thats the thing. I think youve probably got it figured out. Its more fun to like pretend to be in 70s new york for a day. Yeah, pretend to be in mean streets, you know . Seth yeah. I feel like thats a place where id be like, id love to live in 1970s new york and after an hour, id be like, ahhh [ laughter ] its like the wild west. Seth yeah. Its like, you know, probably that would be awful to live in the wild. Seth yeah. But like, you know, youd see them wearing the corset or whatever youre into, and you know. But the lawlessness of it, the idea of the lawlessness was probably both really dangerous and awful and probably really exciting. Seth well, it looks really great. It reminds me of those 70s films and its a great cast, great creators. Congratulations, im so excited to see more of it.

[ cheers and applause ] seth since trump started with democrats on a deal to increase the debt ceiling, the relationship between Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and President Trump has been very tense.

Leave him alone. [ light laughter ] havent we made fun of Mitch Mcconnell enough . Seth well, hes a public figure so i think its okay to make jokes about him. Leave him alone.

[ light laughter ] leave him alone [ laughter ] seth im sorry. Are you a Mitch Mcconnell supporter . If im a supporter of anything its kindness. [ light laughter ] not meanspirited jokes. If you have to make fun of somebody, make fun of me. [ light laughter ] seth i dont even know you. How would i make fun of you . Well, you can make fun of the fact that my chest hair is so thick i once lost a cookie in there for a week. [ laughter ] seth thats not something you should just tell people. [ laughter ] well, what about this . You could make fun of the fact i write my name in my underwear, not so i dont lose them, but to pretend im a famous underwear designer. [ laughter ] seth yeah, the thing is, you know, we usually tell jokes about people that are in the news, like Mitch Mcconnell. Oh, sure, make fun of Mitch Mcconnell. Have your fun.

Seth im guessing, leave him alone . Leave him alone [ cheers and applause ] thank you thank you [ applause ] thats right. If you need someone to make fun of, make fun of me. Seth oh, man. Make fun of the fact that my mother nursed me until i was 4yearsold and then again from five to 32 [ laughter ] or make fun of the fact that the song i always pick for karaoke is puff the magic dragon, even though i cant get through it without crying or peeing my pants. Or make fun of the fact that my favorite food to eat on the toilet is everything. [ laughter ] or that i set an alarm on my phone to remind me when to fart. Seth why do you need a reminder . I dont want them to back up. [ beeping ] oops. [ flatulence ] [ laughter ] seth all right, weve heard enough.

[ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back, everybody. So a lot of times the guests on our show are actors. Here to talk about a new tv show or movie theyre in. But every actor, no matter how successful they are, now every one of them has had terrible auditions. So we asked a few of our guests to open up about the audition process. Take a look. Auditions. Oh, auditions. Ive got a few stories. Yeah, auditions. Theyre theyre great. Well, for starters, bring the right script. Ive made that mistake. Oh, god, i used to get so nervous before auditions. I felt like i was going to crap my pants. Eventually i just started crapping my pants at home so i didnt have to worry about it at the auditions. I like to show up covered in dust so that later when theyre looking at the tapes theyll remember i was the dusty guy. [ laughter ] so theres an unspoken rule in auditions that youre not supposed to bring any props. I didnt get the memo. I brought a handgun. [ laughter ] i brought a shoebox full of bees. I brought a full lasagna and made them watch as i ate the whole thing. [ laughter ] such a rookie move. Okay. Well, one time i went to this casting call and there were, like, a thousand people in the waiting area, and they made everyone take a number, but i asked this girl who was sitting next to me what part she was auditioning for, and she said, audition . Im here for my learners permit. And i was, like, oh. These people are in the wrong place. [ laughter ] sometimes at an audition theyll make you do a chemistry test where they have you read lines with another actor to see if youre, like, a believable couple. One time i had to do a chemistry test with my reallife husband. It didnt go so good. [ light laughter ] they made us get divorced. I didnt know what they meant by a chemistry test. So i made a volcano. [ laughter ] with baking soda everywhere. I didnt get that part. [ light laughter ] but i did get a b on the volcano. [ laughter ] it was a commercial for this pet shop that only had snakes. I still remember the slogan. Like a good neighbor, snake farm is there. [ laughter ] jesus jeans. Blessed are the jeans for they shall inherit dat ass. [ laughter ] it is a commercial for people named maureen. The few. The proud. The maureens. [ light laughter ] well, they asked me to say my name at the beginning and i just, for some reason, panicked and i told them my name was oscar beanbody. [ laughter ] i kept forgetting the lines and then half way through the audition my cell phone rings. One time my cell phone went off in an audition, and i got so nervous i ate it. [ laughter ] oh ive definitely eaten the cell phone. [ laughter ] one time i ate the cell phone, and i still got the part. So it just shows you, you never know what theyre being looking for. [ phone buzzing ] oh sorry. Ive got to take this. Hello . Yes, this is professor beanbody. [ laughter ] at the end of an audition its really important to play it cool. I remember after one audition they flatout offered me the part in the room. I said no. Never show them youre too eager. [ laughter and applause ] seth my thanks to trevor noah, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Allison Miller and the 8g band. Stay tuned for carson daly. Well see you tomorrow, everybody [ cheers and applause ] carson good evening and welcome to last call. Im carson daly. Were here at the lovely hilton universal. Its a fine backdrop for tonights show.
