[ laughter ] President Trump delivered the state of the Union Address last night and claimed that he has led a, quote, Great American comeback. Please everyone knows the Great American comeback is thats what she said. [ laughter and applause something we as a nation have to be proud of. According to the latest numbers, applause accounted for a third of President Trumps 78minute state of the Union Address [ light laughter ] but he did promise to do it less next year. [ laughter ] House Speaker nancy pelosi was seen tearing up her copy of President Trumps [ cheers and applause of President Trumps state of the Union Address last night once trump finished talking. To be fair, trump also destroyed that speech when he tried to say the phrase, he directed the december assault. He directed the december dassault [ laughter and applause seth thats what she said. [ laughter ] Vice President mike pence this morning said that House Speaker nancy pelosi tearing up a copy of President Trumps state of the Union Address was, quote, a new low. But you could barely hear him over the sound of trump pushing a nun down the stairs. [ laughter ] the oscars are this weekend, and to avoid any envelope mishaps this year, the votes are being tallied by oh, damn it. [ laughter ] oh, damn it. [ applause ] theyll be there all night thats right, the oscars are this weekend, and the gift bags being given to nominees are valued at nearly 215,000 each, and include a 12day yacht vacation, a bath bomb made of 24 karat gold a romantic getaway in a spanish lighthouse, a brainwave sensing meditation headband, oh, and i almost forgot, a bottle of absinthe oh, my god good night, kids good night [ cheers and applause according to a new study, fireflies are in danger of extinction said scientists, oh, wait nope, never mind theres one. [ light laughter ] wait, no its gone again. Oh, there it is. [ laughter ] this show has peaked for me. [ laughter ] papa johns this week launched a new line of pizza quesadillas that they are calling papadillas or as papa john calls them i dont know something racist, probably [ laughter ] and finally, the new york mets mascot, mr. Met, will attend the opening of a new Queens Campaign office tomorrow for former new york mayor Mike Bloomberg. While gritty will be attending a rave in an abandoned warehouse [ laughter ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight [ cheers and applause [ cheers and applause rley quin theaters and imax you can see him as black mask in birds of prey and the fantabulous emancipation of one harley quinn , which is in theaters and imax this friday. Ewan mcgregor is back, everybody. [ cheers and applause he is the cocreator and star of mythic quest ravens banquet, which begins streaming friday on apple tv plus. Rob mcelhenney is on the show tonight. Platforms. Here to perform some standup comedy for us, the very funny erin jackson is here [ cheers and applause so it is a good night to be here Senate Republicans, with one notable exception, completed their coverup of the president s crimes today when they acquitted him after impeachment trial with no witnesses. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth lets just say it has not been a banner week for american democracy first, of course, there was the bizarre meltdown at the democratic iowa caucus, where an app designed to count people Milling Around in high school gymnasiums [ laughter ] crashed and delayed the results. The app was built by a Company Called shadow, which i assume is run by Christoph Waltz from the bond films [ laughter ] shadow [ laughter ] and the crash resulted in chaos on the ground and on cable news airwaves 10 43 eastern time. We still dont have any results. We dont have any results from iowa. Yeah, brian, you know, ive seen or texted with the Biden Campaign manager a few times tonight. And what does he keep saying to me we dont know anything. Seth of course, even if the app worked perfectly, joe biden probably still wouldnt kn seth of course, even if the app worked perfectly, joe biden probably still wouldnt know anything [ laughter ] the only app joe biden has ever used is facetime and only by accidentally sitting on his phone. Hello hello . Hello, honey my wallet is talking to me again. [ light laughter ] the chaos came after a day of reporters roaming around High School Gyms in iowa and finding that biden, once considered the frontrunner, was having trouble gaining traction there was an entire biden segment. Now, it looks to be reduced to just a very small corner here. So certainly, not a robust turnout. The joe biden group, probably not going to be viable this is the joe biden section here not too much this is the bernie group. Its so big, that in fact, that middle section right there, with all those folks in it, that was the joe biden section. And they actually moved the joe biden section because they didnt have room for all the bernie supporters that are showing up here. Biden, how are we doing over here this does not look like 56 people. So the biden group so youre you look like lovely, wonderful people but it doesnt look like you made the viability threshold not yet theres time, honey. Theres time. This year . Seth damn. [ laughter ] jake tapper is Walking Around with a microphone, sassing people like hes Billy Eichner [ laughter ] seriously, tapper going around sassing voters is a show i would watch. They could call it, tap that sass. [ laughter ] also, look at this group of people caucusing for biden they dont exactly look like theyre voting they just look like they got knocked out of a game of dodgeball. [ laughter ] im so bad at dodging. Yeah, me, too. [ laughter ] then yesterday, the Iowa Democratic party finally got around to announcing partial results, leaving everyone somehow even more confused about what was happening, and resulting in a breathless Steve Kornacki racing around the studio, trying to digest all of the number vomit that was being dumped on him. Got a lot of questions here ive got to dive into these and see where these came from. Not every county gets, you know, state delegate equivalents that are equal to the turnout sanders, 30 iowa city, johnson county. Sanders, 33 getting big numbers in these places im out of breath here, sorry. [ laughter ] seth my god, someone get that man some oxygen also, there are 49 states to go, kornacki youve got to pace yourself. [ laughter ] youre going to need the paddles by super tuesday in case you thought this couldnt get any more complicated, it turns out the iowa caucus used some complicated math, similar to the Electoral College system in order to give more weight to rural areas. Meaning, you could actually win more delegates even while losing the popular vote buttigiegs campaign right now is in the lead in this category. State delegate equivalents weve been saying this is a bit like the Electoral College popular vote thing where theres the potential for a split. And right now, with 62 of the expected vote in in iowa, thats what youre seeing so again, the possibility here, very possible right now that buttigieg is going to hang on, win the state delegate equivalents. Thats the traditional way these things have been decided and that sanders is going to get to say, hey look, more people came out to support me than buttigieg. The thing thats taking him from close to the lead, actually, is that peculiar state delegate equivalent allocation formula. When you apply that, buttigieg takes the lead seth just give it to the person who gets the most votes [ cheers and applause why . [ cheers and applause please answer me why did American Idol have a better system than actual america . [ laughter ] and yet, while bernie, who was actually leading the popular vote, remained restrained, buttigieg flew to New Hampshire with more confidence i dont know how anybody declares victory before you have an official statement as to Election Results so were not declaring victory theyre not complete, but results are in from a majority of precincts and they show our campaign in first place. [ cheers and applause seth hey, man, you cant just declare yourself in first place, when all the results arent in and youre not even winning the popular vote thats not how it works. If that were the case, then i could just declare myself peoples sexiest man alive, right now. [ cheers and applause and do you know do you know how pissed adam driver would be probably not at all because were basically twins. [ laughter ] also, i love the contrast between how polished pete is and the fact that bernie is doing his press conference on an airplane, apparently in coach. [ laughter ] these seats are too roomy who needs this much space . Im going to sit and not over there. Overhead. [ laughter ] [ applause ] pass me some pretzels. [ laughter ] vote, gave a state of the Union Address, in which he demonized immigrants and lied repeatedly, from job numbers to immigration to tax cuts to drug prices for example, at one point, trump called on congress to pass a bill to lower Prescription Drug prices a bill democrats have already passed in the house, and which Mitch Mcconnell has refused to take up in the senate the bill is called hr 3, and some democrats started chanting the bills name in response to trumps lie. I am calling for Bipartisan Legislation that achieves the goal of dramatically lowering Prescription Drug prices get a bill on my desk and i will sign it into law immediately [ crowd noise hr 3. Hr 3 with unyielding commitment hr 3. Seth i love that theyre chanting the bills name because you know trump has no idea what that means [ laughter ] hr . Wait, what isnt that where women file all their complaints about me . I i thought there were way more than three. [ laughter ] as is always the case with trump, there were so many lies, it was impossible to keep track. And the constant stream of lies from trump prompted glares of disapproval from democrats, bewilderment from House Speaker nancy pelosi [ laughter ] and a solemn head shake from congressman jim clyburn. That face really sums it up right there. Thats the face you make when your daughter tells you shes engaged to a philosophy major. How are you going to eat compare that to the reactions of republicans in the crowd, like smirking 80s movie villains neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh. And a horrifying smile from [ laughter ] Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell, who looked like chucky, pretending he is not hes not possessed im just a regular old doll you can go to bed now. Im not going to do evil once you sleep. Go to bed. Just a regular doll. [ laughter ] those two moments are perfect illustrations of the crisis of democracy were currently facing a majority leader who actually represents a minority of americans working with the president who lost the popular vote by three million, installed two Supreme Court justices with lifetime appointments. Now, every president uses the state of the Union Address to do a little campaigning but trump turned it into a fullon rally. At one point, republicans literally started chanting, four more years [ chanting ] four more years four more years. Four more years. Seth cool. The state of the union just turned into a trump rally. I mean, the only difference is trump is squinting his way through a speech someone else wrote for him instead of riffing about insane stuff like this sinks, toilets and showers. You dont get any water. Seth four less flushes four less flushes and the undying devotion most republicans have pledged to a shameless, corrupt liar was on full display today when they acquitted him after a sham impeachment trial, in which they ignored the evidence and refused to hear from witnesses a Senate Republican caucus, again representing a minority of americans, acquitted a president who lost the popular vote in the 2016 election and tried to cheat in the 2020 election you cant call that democracy. I mean, you could, but then jim clyburn would give you this look again [ laughter ] the only republican who shocked washington today by announcing he would vote to convict trump and remove him from office was utah senator, mitt romney. Romney announced his decision in both a floor speech and on fox news. Were i to ignore the evidence that has been presented and disregard what i believe my oath and the constitution demands of me, for the sake of a partisan end, it would, i fear, expose my character to historys rebuke and the censure of my own conscience applying impartial justice said, what the president did was grievously wrong. And i had to vote, if i was going to live with my own conscience, in a way that was consistent with that oath of office seth first of all, i love he did it on fox news, just to enrage trump even more trumps aides probably had to put duct tape over the tv to make the headline say, trump is a good boy and i love him. [ laughter ] second, its shocking just to hear a republican talk about living with their conscience most republicans filed for divorce from their consciences years ago. Thats why Mitch Mcconnell is always smiling like that [ laughter ] i do have a conscience. Im not a haunted doll go to bed. [ laughter ] while romney was standing alone among republicans, the rest of his colleagues who voted to acquit trump were busy making excuses and actually trying to convince us that trump wont just try to cheat again. Heres maine senator Susan Collins explaining her vote yesterday are you confident that the president wont seek foreign assistance again i believe that the president has learned from this case what do you believe the president has learned . The president has been impeached. Thats a pretty big lesson seth are you insane . Donald trump doesnt learn lessons. Hes like an untrained dog if he pees on the floor, youve got to rub his nose in it. And even then he will probably do it again while making direct eye contact with you [ laughter ] collins argument falls on the heels of tennessee senator, lamar alexander, who made a similar argument on sunday at you are all concerned, though, when you seek foreign interference he does not believe hes done anything wrong, that what has happened here might encourage him that he can continue to do this i dont think so. I hope not i mean, enduring an impeachment is something that nobody should like even the president said he didnt want that on his resume i dont blame him. So, if a call like that gets you an impeachment, i would think he would think twice before he did it again what did his what example in the life of donald trump has he been chastened . [ light laughter ] i havent studied his life that close seth yeah, you dont have to study his life because hes been in tabloids and on reality tv for like, 40 years everyone knows every intimate detail of his personal life. If donald trump could strap a gopro to his head and livestream every moment of his life hed probably do it except it would suck because all we would see is fox news, fast food, golf balls slicing out of bounds and women from the neckdown. [ laughter ] hr4. [ laughter ] this week has showcased in vivid terms the crisis of democracy were facing with the exception of mitt romney, a Republican Caucus representing a minority of americans acquitted a corrupt republican president who lost the popular vote and lied repeatedly in his state of the Union Address. Republicans are devoted to trump above all else and theyre willing to flush both our democracy and our constitution down multiple toilets seth this has been a closer look.

Because without the joker around, i can. For all your noise and bluster, youre just a silly little girl with no one around to protect her. Seth please welcome back to the show, ewan mcgregor, everyone [ cheers and applause seth welcome back. How are you doing seth im wonderful im so happy to have you here. Its good to see you. Seth i do thank you, thank you. [ cheers and applause seth we were talking a little bit backstage and i think for a lot of us americans watching the caucus, very jarring cause i think every four years we sort of forget the rules of the caucus being a foreigner, is it it must be just insane as you watch it well i dont understand im an american now, too seth you are well, congratulations. Yeah, thank you very much seth im sorry i didnt so [ cheers and applause but i seth fortunately, they didnt make you answer any questions about the caucuses about caucus, no. I just dont understand why you dont just do a vote like, what seth yeah, that seems like it seems odd that you would be in a gym and youre in your groups, and then if you dont have quite enough people, youve just got to go and join someone else seth yeah. [ light laughter ] well then, what does that mean like whos whats your vote mean seth yeah. Dont you want this guy or this lady to be the president the candidate . Seth yeah. So what does it mean if you just suddenly skip over to another group . Seth its basically like going to a restaurant and the waiter coming over and going, were out of the halibut. [ laughter ] and you dont get up and leave the restaurant you like, go, well then i guess ill just have some steak or something. So, i think thats basically what it is baffling. Yeah, baffling seth baffling. From the clip we just showed of your film, youre not a nice person in this film. No. Seth yeah. No. Seth youre a very nice person in real life. Well, thats nice seth but it must be fun to play bad it is i mean, the key is not to come out and try and be the bad guy play the bad guy because i dont know exactly what that would mean so you try and understand why or try and understand why your character is the way he is and in this case, he comes from a very rich family hes been sort of ousted from that family. Hes got very thin skin. He doesnt like being criticized sounding like somebody seth yeah, sounding like somebody [ laughter ] yeah, sounding like somebody. [ cheers and applause seth black mask is who youre playing right seth and were you familiar with black mask before the film . No, not really. Im not a i know youre more seth yes im not a comic guy seth yeah. So, i dont really know seth but then when you looked it up, when you first saw black mask, did you think, why did they think me for this part . Like why [ laughter ] i dont know. I can see me in there. Seth you can see a little of you there . I got an imagination. I dont know i looked at them a lot but i was mainly in the hands of cathy, our director, and margot and christina, the writer. We sort of you know, i trusted them and we found our sort of black mask together, creatively. Seth when you you obviously know from your time in the star wars universe when you take on these preexisting characters, fan bases have a great expectation of them. Yes seth do you feel the pressure of those fan bases having been through it a few times now . Well, i dont really look at it to be honest. Seth yeah. I just try not to be involved i think people hire me to and trust me to portray these characters seth sure. And i trust that in myself. And yeah, i try not to get too involved seth people seem fairly happy over the years so that must take a little edge off of it. Yeah, with this, i dont know i mean, i dont think you can please all of the people all of the time seth yeah. But hopefully people like it. Seth its really exciting. Also exciting, youre going to youre returning to obiwan. Yes seth youre going to play yeah. [ cheers and applause seth thats great. Yeah. Seth and again, you were an obvious choice and im glad you got the part. Okay, thank you [ light laughter ] i wasnt an obvious choice, did you say . Seth no, you are oh. Seth you were an obvious choice look, i thought you would get it and im happy. Okay, good. Well, you mean the sequel. Seth the thing is the reason i bring it up, is that there was this guy. Seth i think this is like 2002, in an snl sketch, i played you as obiwan, and its pretty good. [ laughter ] it is pretty good seth yeah. It really is. Youve got it all. Seth yeah. They got it all right seth i mean its really that is more that the wig team nailed it. No, no, you did it. Looks good seth yeah. Looks good. Seth and theres tracy morgan, as well. [ laughter ] totally different. It could have gone a different way. Did you do it with a slightly scottish english accent . Seth i tried my best to be true to the yeah. Yeah, to the original seth you know, much like you, i tried to bring my version to it. Well, exactly [ laughter ] seth yeah, yeah. You have to you have to. Seth i want to ask this you were in a film, doctor sleep. Yeah. Seth which was an incredible sequel to the shining. Yeah. Seth a story about a man haunted by ghosts. Yeah. Seth i am very skeptical of ghosts, but i do like asking guests on the show you have had an encounter. I had one its a very its a sort of long story that ill try and shorten. But, when i was it was my 20th birthday. Seth okay. And i was at drama school in london and it was easter. And passover happened to be aligned the same weekend, same day. And in the morning, my it was a student house. And no one was there because everyone had gone away for the holidays, except me. And i watched this movie i stole someones video recorder from their room to watch blue velvet. Seth yeah. And after i had watched blue velvet, i was standing, running a bath, leaning in the doorway in a robe. And i was at the top of the house. My bedroom was at the top of a staircase on its own and then there was a dark cor hallway with other bedrooms, and then downstairs, a bigger flat downstairs apartment, sorry [ laughter ] now im an american. Apartment. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] and i was suddenly struck by this pain in my back and i ripped off my robe and it was there was a big, black burn mark on the back of my robe. And i ran around, thinking, well, maybe when i got the video out or something, maybe there was a spark or a fire or something happened seth yeah, thats why we dont have vcrs anymore. No, exactly so i ran around, thinking maybe i had caught fire on something nothing. Couldnt find anything i looked at the robe again now is see the whole back of the robe was singed dark brown, and then this black burn mark on my shoulder blade so i freaked out, and i got out of there, and i went and spent my birthday with my uncle dennis and the next day i came back and the guy who owned the apartment downstairs was back. And i suddenly went, oh yeah, this odd thing happened the other night. And his face went ashen. And i said, what is it . He said, no, i dont want to tell you. I said, what is it . He said, look, the guy who owned my flat downstairs was an old reclusive guy and he never went out he used to walk to the hedge and sit at the hedge and go back in. And his brother would come around two or three times a week and give him a hot meal. Otherwise, he didnt really eat. Anyway, his brother got sick one week, didnt come. And the gentleman was boiling kettle in his kitchen and he was so hungry that he fainted, the kettle set fire to his kitchen, and he was burned on his back, dragged out of the house and he died of his burns to his back. And i was oh, my god. [ laughter ] i said, listen you i thought we were actors, right . So i thought, hes just making it up. Seth yeah. So he phoned up the landlady. She told the story so i could hear it. She said, but he was a very nice man im sure he wouldnt wish you any harm. [ laughter ] seth yeah, yeah, yeah. So she was like, he wouldnt be haunting you. He wouldnt be doing anything nasty like that. Seth and it was very clear on the lease, no haunting. [ laughter ] no burning. So, we went so i freaked out i said, im not sleeping up there. Im not sleeping in my room because i freaked out. So we went down to his bedroom i brought my bedding down. And as we were walking into his living room, i said, look, i dont know ill use the mans say it was mr. Goldblum, for instance seth okay. And i said, look. It was dirty we were drama students we didnt do much cleaning i said, its dirty its as dusty as when mr. Goldblum used to live here. And i put my bedding in the corner and i looked up, and my friend was over there and as i looked up, the ceiling fell down like this. The whole ceiling came down like, in a wave. And there was this scream like [ highpitched screaming ] which i realized was me. [ laughter ] i was going, its okay, its just the ceiling the ceiling, the ceiling but two minutes later, i said, look at, we were just i said, remember what i said about mr. Goldblum . Seth yeah. Everything was covered in two inches of dust, you know, plaster dust and then every night after that, my door would open seth every night how many nights did you stay [ laughter ] i think it was another i you know, i didnt have any money to go elsewhere. Seth oh, yeah, yeah. I had to stay there it was a good month or something before the phone would ring, nothing. The door would squeak open, it was just all really scary. Seth im now maybe going to buy in on ghosts are real. Well, i never saw him, or but that was just odd. Seth that seems like thats 100 different signs. [ laughter ] right now, if he was watching, he was like, i didnt say anything [ laughter ] im a ghost. Hey, thank you so much for being here always a pleasure.

That went over really well. [ laughter ] seth why was leo so much better okay, so we originally thought first of all, we just picked leo because we thought it was a really cool name a nice name. And my grandmother was very excited. And i she has a brother had a brother named leo. So he would have been my great uncle. And she was very excited about the fact that we were we believed that we were naming this child after a family name and then, so we said, you know, grandma, sure. Whatever makes you happy.

And originally i was reticent to want to do a show in this industry for various reasons but i was on the fence but i figured, hey, its a free trip to montreal. Id never been to montreal lets go drink on their dime thatll be cool. And so i walk into this game studio and im looking around, and i see this guy and hes like, out, like, across this the hall and hes dressed headtotoe in black. Hes got these cowboy boots. And hes got rings and necklaces and this long beard. And he had a cane, right but he was probably 35 [ laughter ] and i realized, there was no limp or anything like that he was just i realized it was, like, just an accoutrement . Like, a little, like, artistic flourish that he had [ light laughter ] and i walked up to him and i said, hey hey, how you doing, pal . He said, good. I said, what do you do . He said, im a creative director. I said, i dont know what a creative director does what is that . And he just sort of took a moment like, a longer moment than he should have. And he, like, looked out into the distance, which was mostly like fluorescent lights. And he goes, brother, i build worlds. [ laughter ] and i was like could you excuse me for one second . [ laughter ] and i walked outside, i took out my phone, and i called charlie and i was like, we are doing a show about these people. [ laughter ] [ applause ] seth there you go. There you go.

I started need to impeach to hold this lawless president accountable. Im proposing big reforms like term limits. A national referendum. And ending corporate money in politics. As president , ill declare Climate Change an emergency on day 1. And, use those powers to finally address the climate crisis. And, ive spent 30 years building a Successful International business.
