Transcripts For KNTV Late Night With Seth Meyers 20240711

Announcer tonight on late night with seth meyers, hugh grant creator of bless the harts, writer emily spivey an all new closer look featuring the 8g band with Valerie Franco and now seth meyers. Seth good evening. Im seth meyers and this is late night. Hows everybody doing tonight . Thats great to hear, lets get to the news. President trumps personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has reportedly asked for 20 thousand a day to fight the results of the 2020 election though i honestly dont know if joe biden can afford that. Thats right, Rudy Giuliani has reportedly asked Trumps Campaign for 20 thousand a day to fight the results of the 2020 election what i thought this was like a makeawish thing. You want to get paid 20 grand . At best you should be Getting College credit even then your professors going to say, well, your client went to jail, and since he was the plaintiff, thats pretty bad. According to a new poll, 58 of americans are willing to get the Coronavirus Vaccine once its released while the other 42 will wait until theyre 35 . Thats a math joke from bays instead of traveling to maralago next week, President Trump will reportedly spend thanksgiving at the white house with first lady melania trump. Or whichever melania he can book on such short notice according to a new poll, Vice President elect Kamala Harris favorability rating is at 51 , and when you adjust it for gender inflation, thats like a whole 70 . People magazine announced yesterday that its 2020 sexiest man alive is actor michael b. Jordan, and i got to say, seth b. Hurt. The fbi arrested a man this week who was wanted for investment fraud after he tried to escape authorities using an underwater scooter. Officials first became suspicious when they noticed he owned an underwater scooter. All right, i mean, somethings off with this guy, right and finally of course, officers, ill be right with you. My wallets in the underwater scooter. Come on, not now and finally, the video sharing app tiktok, yesterday, announced new stricter parental control options, cause lets be honest, we definitely got to make it harder for them to get on. And that was a monologue, everybody. That last joke was written by mike scollins, the writer who defended his tank top on the show last night. And we have a lot of regrets today at the show about the fact that we let mike off the hook for the fact that his tank top had a pocket we got a great show for you tonight. Hes truly one of my favorite actors and he has an excellent new series on hbo called the undoing. Hugh grant will be here. So happy about that. My wife and i watch every episode of the undoing together so maybe, maybe shell watch this interview its 50 50, really im on channel 4, alexi. Yeah yeah, we get channel 4 and she is the creator of bless the harts on fox and my good friend from snl days, emily spivey will be here. But before we get to all that, President Trump and senior members of the Republican Party are engaged in an assault on democracy in an attempt to hang on to power and undercut the legitimately elected next president , joe biden, and they put Rudy Giuliani in charge of their plan for more on this its time for a closer look. Seth look, its very likely this dumbass coup attempt by trump and his gang of weirdo, lopsided goons, or as im calling them, the kooky cuckoo coup crew will succeed, but its alarming enough that theyre trying and we are finding out right now who in the Republican Party would be willing to go along with an actual coup attempt in the future if say an election was much closer, or if they had another chance to accept criminal interference from a foreign country or if Rudy Giuliani tried to break into a ballot machine to change votes for trump only to realize its a pinball machine at a pizzeria in yonkers. Boss, great news, i got you 500 more votes and an extra ball. You got the secretary of state joking about a possible coup, the White House Press secretary insisting trump will remain president , prominent fox hosts straightup demanding that republicans refuse to accept the results of the election. Is the state department currently preparing to engage with the biden transition team, and if not, at what point does a delay hamper a smooth transition or pose a risk to National Security there will be a smooth transition to a Second Trump Administration hes left an infrastructure in place where covid can be handled. We believe that we will do so Going Forward in a Second Trump Administration what id like to know is what in the hell is the Republican Party doing to defend and to i mean, why not just say, were not going to accept the results of this election seth i dont know, why not just say lou dobbs should get a head reduction surgery, or lou dobbs looks like a child at a wedding after a million bee stings, or how does a 75yearold man have hair the same color as a brandnew penny . Theyre not magic words, it doesnt matter whether you say them or not. You cant go to a doctors appointment, get an xray that shows you have a spoon stuck in your esophagus because you didnt realize it wasnt part of the meal and then say, i refuse to accept the results of this xray. Second, youre lighting american democracy on fire, you fascist bobble head. The vast majority of americans accept the outcome of the election and the reality that it was free and fair, but republicans who listen to your bull [ bleep ] are starting to echo your deranged rhetoric about how it was rigged. A poll out today found that about half of republicans think trump won the election, and it was rigged against him and look, the people who show up to trump rallies, you could probably get them to agree with anything trump says. If youre willing to give up your day to stand in a field and listen to thirdrate standup comedy from a man who loathes you, youre what they call pliable. Now as we told you earlier this week, there are some republican officials who have met the absolute lowest bar by acknowledging that joe biden is the president elect, and should be treated as such Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said, i expect joe biden to be the next president of the united states. And Ohio Governor mike dewine said, joe biden is the president elect. It tells you just how sick our political culture is that a republican official just acknowledging the obvious and legitimate winner of a president ial election is somehow considered a brave, noteworthy act. Its like picking up your morning newspaper and the headline says, yes, this is a newspaper. Dont worry, tv show list and puzzles are on the back. And yet aside from those rare exceptions, Many Republican politicians remain in lockstep behind trump as he continues to pretend he has a path to overturn the Election Results and declare victory. Texas Lieutenant Governor dan patrick, the same guy who said in march that old people should be willing to die from covid to keep the economy from shutting down, spelled out trumps supposed path to victory on fox news. Theres less than 30 thousand votes in georgia and arizona dividing biden and trump and if those two states turn, if they do, then the Supreme Court could make the decision on pennsylvania and then trump is president. Seth the last plan i heard with that many insane contingencies was my cousin explaining how hes going to payback that loan. If the lady i dog sit for puts me in her will and then she dies, and then it goes uncontested by her kids, im going to have your money. By the way, dan patrick is also the dude who offered a reward of 1 million for evidence of voter fraud in texas which, i have to say, kind of disproves the point youre trying to make if voter fraud is so common that it could overturn an election, why do you need to offer 1 million reward to find some evidence of it in the old west, when they offered rewards for outlaws, it was because they were hard to find they werent just squatting behind a barrel in the town square hey, i think thats billy the kid over there can i have my million now . But anyway, thats their harebrained scheme, they want to somehow flip arizona and georgia, and then go to court to get pennsylvania to throw out not just a few ballots, but hundreds of thousands of ballots and have the Supreme Court hand the election to trump. But apparently in georgia the guy whos leading the effort to overturn the results is georgia congressman doug collins the georgia secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, whos a republican, went so far as to call collins a liar and a charlatan. Now you might remember collins as the insanely fast talking person who took a lead role for republicans during the impeachment proceedings. Weve talked about the law. They didnt put it in the constitution so im not i can yell on both of them. I can talk about both of them. I still have not got a transcript we still dont know what got in the white house. Still has not got their stuff. I was told i couldnt even though they have been staff conversations well before i was told i was asking asking too late he said as he said help us as a country because were trying to heal. Seth he sounds like hes auctioning off the cocaine from a drug bust after taking a test himself. We got one kilo, we got two, we got five kilo, we got gold plated guns. We got regular guns. We got tiny little guns. Then theres South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, who according to raffensperger, who again is a republican, called and pressured him to throw out legal ballots. Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger says hes come under increasing pressure in recent days from republicans intent on questioning the validity of legally cast absentee ballots in an effort to reverse President Trumps loss in the state in an interview with the washington post, raffensperger said senator Lindsey Graham asked him on friday if he had the power to toss out ballots in counties found to have higher rates of nonmatching signatures. Raffensperger said he was stunned that graham appeared to suggest that he find a way to toss legally cast ballots. Seth so Lindsey Graham called up the secretary of state of georgia like it was a casual schmooze and said, hey, brad, want to do brunch . Also, do you have the power to like throw out a bunch of legal ballots and hand the election to trump . Now, according to the wall street journal there were two phone calls and multiple witnesses who confirmed what graham said on those calls and even when graham tried denying it, he accidentally confessed to something possibly even worse that hed been calling Election Officials in other states too did you not ask him to throw out votes . No, thats ridiculous i talked to him about how you verify signatures. Im really worried about mailin balloting. Im worried about how you verify a signature. And i think georgia, ive talked to doug ducy in arizona, ive talked to the people in nevada, weve got contests all over the nation seth so basically Lindsey Graham called states where joe biden won to ask about vote counts. Id say they were threatening calls, but its impossible for Lindsey Graham to sound threatening. He has the voice of a guy offering to redo your veranda. I for one cant enjoy an ice tea on my porch swing if im looking at chipped paint. This is the trademark trump defense, their only explanation for their bad behavior is more bad behavior grahams like an arsonist defending himself in court by saying, what about all those other houses i burned down you didnt seem to care about that, maybe youre the ones who need to look in the mirror and lindsey, we might take your word at face value, and i mean might if you hadnt promised to never support the appointment of a Supreme Court justice in an election year, and then this year when that was put to the test with amy coney barrett, told reporters, ive said a fib before, but now i aint fibbing, now im saying my for real thoughts so that was their attempt to steal georgia and they fell flat on their faces then theres pennsylvania where the Trump Campaign is suing for reasons. Its impossible to keep track of their bull [ bleep ] its like your mom and dad trying to tell you a story at the same time. So, were at chilis right it was an applebees no, applebees was tuesday, im talking about the waiter who dropped the tray that was in applebees for example, theyre worked up over an electronic Voting System called dominion. Because there was a small and brief reporting mistake on Election Night in michigan but even the conservative protrump wall street Journal Editorial Board pointed out the unofficial reporting was wrong, but the underlying votes were counted correctly. The printouts from the tabulator showed accurate totals and in any case, the michigan secretary of States Office said the error would have been identified during the county canvass. When democrats and republicans review the printed totals tape from each tabulator. A republican county clerk even said there was no malice, no fraud here, just human error and if anyone should understand human error, its trump. I mean, he is a human error. The guy couldnt pronounce the word yosemite, couldnt figure out how to close an umbrella and couldnt even get the toilet paper off his shoe after i guess taking a giant dump inside the president ial limo . I mean, i get that you dont want to have a transition meeting with biden, but can you at least give him a headsup that he should get a different ride yeah, in regards to the limo, might be easier just to replace it anyway, the claims trumps teams have been making are so insane, most lawyers want no part of it. The trump team even tried to delay a hearing in federal court, but as a reporter for reuters noted, the judge wasnt having it. A federal judge wont delay tomorrows hearing on President Trumps lawsuit to overturn the election he lost in pennsylvania because most of his lawyers quit his remaining lawyer, whos also a radio host, will have to go it alone and is expected to be prepared i mean, every word of that tweet is perfect he wants to overturn the results of a state he lost, but his lawyers quit, so hes using a radio host and the judge actually needed to tell the radio host to be prepared of course im prepared. I brought my sound board, your honor. This was a fraud to a degree that we should all be alarmed [ air horn ] i rest my case. So then trump put Rudy Giuliani in charge. And this will probably not shock you. It didnt work out great for example, yesterday the pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled against the Trump Campaign, in yet another one of their ridiculous lawsuits. Of course, rudy never made it to the hearing because he accidentally went to the pennsylvania supreme food court at the king of prussia mall. Your honor, i object all right, so do you want the chicken teriyaki instead . And then yesterday, reporters and Court Observers who were covering a Trump Campaign case in front of a federal judge in pennsylvania pulled out individual lines from rudys oral arguments, and theyre just a delight to read. I mean, here are a few examples of actual legal arguments from Rudy Giuliani, you know the guy who was once, and this is true, the mayor of new york city one of our biggest cities. The biggest. Those ballots could have been from mickey mouse, we have no idea mister, the man who was very angry at me, i forgot his name maybe i dont understand what you mean by strict scrutiny. Incredible its like watching a livestream of a wino doing openheart surgery. What the hell is this thing and why is it moving . Thats the heart. Oh, should we put it back in . The term strict scrutiny is one of the most basic legal concepts in all of law. But then, if he knew what strict scrutiny was hed have gotten his bottom teeth capped as well. If you lawyer says they dont know what strict scrutiny means, then its time to get someone new. I mean thats like if your lawyer got up in court and asked to cross examine a witness, and then asked his questions with his eyes like this this was by far the best exchange, it summed up the stupidity of this moronic little coup attempt as much as any moment could giuliani im not sure what opacity means. It probably means you can see . Judge brand it means you cant. I would love to see rudy at a spelling bee the word is opacity. Can you use it incorrectly in a sentence, please oh, rudy sweet rudy, i wont miss trump, but i also wont miss you. I hope when this is over you take a wellearned trip to the bahamas. No, i meant the island never mind rudys deranged performance was such an embarrassing debacle, that even close trump ally mick mulvaney, trumps former chief of staff, and a guy who is fully on board with this grotesque attempt to overturn the results of the election said today, im still a little concerned about the use of Rudy Giuliani. Last night after rudys disastrous bungling of everything, heres what fox news host sean hannity told his audience about rudys performance. In pennsylvania, Rudy Giuliani argued the case today. Ive heard from more than a few people that he was absolutely brilliant in his arguments today. Seth maybe he was saying it the way british people use brilliant to mean funny. Did you see mr. Bean fall down that escalator into the savory pie display . Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Fun fact, the original title of hannitys show was mr. The man who is very angry at me. Were in the midst of several crises colliding at once the destruction of american democracy, a deadly plague that killed 1,500 americans just yesterday alone. And were seeing once again the Republican Party simply does not care about either. Its an authoritarian movement willing to wreck the american system and stand idly by while americans die. Even after trump leaves office, what were seeing now is that trumpism will very much remain at least we can be sure that what we here at late night are calling the kooky cuckoo coup crew will almost certainly fail. And for now there wont be a Second Trump Administration seth this has been a closer look.

He currently stars in hbos limited series, the undoing, which airs sundays at 9 00 p. M lets take a look. Why were you there that night . Outside her apartment . Because i was i was walking like i always do i didnt know where i was. Ive told you this many times. It is just such a coincidence, isnt it . I was having an affair with her, and and you were there. Just as i was or just had been what are you asking me . Were you following me was i following you were you . Were you following me . Seth please welcome back to the show, hugh grant how are you, hugh . Very bad. Thank you, seth. Seth are you i mean, junkets are not the most fun thing in the world do you appreciate do you enjoy that you just get to do it from home . Not at all. My im trying to get away from home permanently. [ laughter ] i have a lot of Young Children i love them, but i would love to be on an airplane coming to see you and staying in a lovely hotel. Seth thats very thats very nice to hear, i will take that as not a criticism of your children, but more how much you enjoy our time together. You specifically, yes, yes. Seth what this is such a wonderful show its the show that not only are my wife and i are watching, but i feel like we talk to with all our other friends. And this is a show i was very happy to hear that your wife actually enjoys as well. Its weird. First of all, its lovely that youre watching it i almost believe you my wife, yes she my wife is the man in our house, really. She likes violent films, gangster films while im sitting there watching Roman Holiday or sound of music or something. So shes never liked those films i did in the past, which were all romance and stuff. But now, now shes starting to get a taste for them and she did like this series, i have to say. Though not so much me, more shes in love with the murdered ladys husband, you know, played by Ismael Cruz Cordova and shes very in love with the cop, edgar ramirezs part. Seth yeah, we had edgar here, i can see how she would fall in love with him, very charming yeah. If you like that kind of thing seth no, i what i i mean this seriously. Do you keep the you know, this is a fantastic whodunit you obviously know whodunit. Do you keep that from your wife or does she beg you for the spoiler . She did know. Because although shes not interested in show business in any way at all, she i bore her about all my work. And so i, you know took her through all the scripts and all the issues before we started but youre making me nervous youre bringing me towards precipices of destroying my own show seth i dont want it i dont want to ruin it. Back off. Seth i feel like its weird. I was saying this to someone else i feel like it says a lot about the time were living through, that i like the escapism of watching a show about a grisly murder but i would want to do nothing to ruin it for myself. Yeah, good, good. It is weird, isnt it . Seth it is its weird. Seth its just like, oh, i think its also knowing that the show because its a limited series its just nice to engage in anything right now that you know has an ending. Yes yes, i know exactly what you mean ive thats why i maybe i do so badly with with tv. I cant really watch it. I have to watch a single game of tennis or something. Everythings too long. Its too long for me now seth youve been giving us a cause you were in a fantastic limited series the last time you were here. I want to make sure i get it right. Was it a british scandal or an english scandal . A very english scandal, yes. Seth which was, again, fantastic. I loved it so much and i also loved going into it. Im like three episodes, thank you very much. This is exactly where i want to be yeah, well. I agree with you but then, i think our Attention Spans have shrunk dramatically seth well, i also have Young Children i think that has a huge plays a huge role. How old are yours seth 2 and 4 yeah, well, i have one of each of those. Seth you do . How old are you, though seth how old am i . Im 46 yeah, that that seems about right. Seth yeah. People say we look alike. But you still look pretty good twitter says i look like a piece of crumpled newspaper. Seth you cant engage with that, dont listen to them hey, were going to come right back with more from hugh grant geico makes the claims process so easy.

Seth were back with hugh grant and im setting up a segue here, im just going to be honest. But you are in the undoing you shoot some scenes in a prison was that a working prison . Yes seth it was . Well, its semiworking half of its given over to film production, and the other half is a real prison and so, you know, im sitting there being having my mascara done, being brought exactly the right kind of latte and then sending it away because its not good enough. And literally, five feet from me, theres real prisoners through a barred door in stripy clothes. I didnt know you actually had them in america. I thought that was sort of from the past pushing laundry baskets around seth do you think you know, i would imagine they would have a great amount of disdain for watching you get prepared for filming. They adored me. Theyre only human seth all right, i want to speak about because this is my segue you were recently in another you were in a film that took place in prison, absolutely my favorite film of 2018 with no exaggeration paddington 2. Now hugh, i swear to god, i have had so many conversations with people where i will say to them or they will say to me, you know what movie is fantastic paddington 2. i did not have grand expectations for this film people kept telling me it. You looked like you were having so much fun in that movie. Was it as much fun as it looked . No. No, i hate my work, as i may have told you before you know, im in this permanent state of panic and anxiety, but i do enjoy it when it works. I have to say. When that film, when i first saw it and thought i see its actually it is it is a kind of masterpiece even if you extract me. You know paul king made a masterpiece i believe its the only film on Rotten Tomatoes with 100 in the world. So im proud to be in it seth i had the way i watched it, and this will again sound like someone in show business complaining about a nice thing but, as you know, each year we sort of get award screeners of films, all the great award films of the year. And in the holidays, im always with my family and we always try to find movies i think, oh, this will be great. But a lot of those movies are very heavy and not particularly fun to watch at the holidays and that was a day someone said, you know what i keep hearing is great . And we watched it and it was just like crossgenerationally a giant hit. So i wanted to ask, did your kids like that well, i set up i was convinced they would so i set up a special screening for them that takes a whole cinema, i have hundreds of children. And i got them in there. And they pretty much hated it. They kept whispering to me, why are you in it so much . Anyway, i make them like it now. They have to watch it every night and tell me how good i am, otherwise they dont get fed seth now dont take this the wrong way. Because i you know, i found you in a lot of most of the things i watch you with, youre acting against other human beings should i be concerned, though, that your best work was against, you know, a bear that obviously was not an actor on set . Well, it well, yes it wasnt anything although, my father believed in that bear. My fathers 90 and i took him to the big premiere in Leicester Square in london and he sat next to me, and halfway through the film he turned to me and he said, is that a real bear . [ light laughter ] and i had to go, well, no, dad, no, cause hes talking so, no, hes not real. Anyways, so i explained about cgi. But it is, its such a brilliant piece of cgi, i can sort of see the mistake. No, when youre acting with that bear, theres nothing. You can have they had a very small actress who would read the lines for you, or you could have a stick with a bears head on the top, which was frankly too creepy to work with. Or you could just have the stick and i became rather fond of the stick. Seth a crazy crossover, not crossover casting, but it seemed like quite a coincidence that your costar in a very british scandal, ben whishaw, was the voice of paddington so you did not hear him as paddington until you saw the film i didnt. Seth yeah. Thats right. I didnt so the whole thing was weird to do that but then i had to do a big publicity tour with ben. He became paddington to me so then to have to basically rape him, and then try and kill him, for the whole autumn of 2017, was weird. It didnt feel right seth i guess thats all that i mean, i think in a very different paddington 2, thats the path that story takes, and im really glad it didnt well, maybe thats paddington 3. [ laughter ] seth you are still alive, so you could get out you could get out of jail. Hey, hugh, thank you so much for being here its always a delight to see you. And congrats on everything thanks, seth. Thank you. Seth the undoing airs sunday nights at 9 00 p. M.

Seth but im wondering if you, watching the show this year, if you wish that youd been writing there during this election cycle or dreading it . Ooh, i have mixed feelings. I mean, how do you feel . I felt relieved that i could just watch it. Because as you know, we did you made tshirts, seth. It was called the gauntlet we did eight wait, was it ten episodes of eight weeks, right seth yeah, i think ten episodes in eight weeks because we were doing the weekend update thursdays. And i, of course, was weirdly pregnant its not weird to be pregnant, but it felt weird to be pregnant during this time, and i had morning sickness and was just sitting there going but at the same time, it was amazing because i remember sitting with paula and tina in that weird little tiny office on nine watching tina rehearse doing sarah palin. So it was like, you know, youre part of history. But still, ooh seth yeah. No, no. Seth i mean, the fact that they did six saturdays in a row, i am not jealous of at all but i really do think they did an incredible job. And you were a hero, seth you really i mean, listen to me you deserve emmys should be raining down for you for the work you did on that, i mean, come on. Seth we talked a lot about Second Chance theater with my old cohorts of the show. Yes seth what are some of your worst, most delicious bombs under the bleachers with lorne oh, my god. Theres almost too many to count. Seth what was chicken mcnugs well, chicken mcnugs was okay, it was matt dillon was the host and he was sort of a hotshot boyfriend to Rachel Dratch, who was sort of playing like a little you know, a girl with lots of cats and Scented Candles who couldnt get a boyfriend so he broke up with her in a miserable way. So then, she just hauls it to mcdonalds and buys 500 thousand chicken mcnuggets, all sauces, and it became a musical, all right . Ive never seen lorne so angry [ laughter ] he said it was just its so you know, it was one of those things where he was so upset. And by the way, i was upset too. I dont i dont blame lorne but he did throw he threw the headsets on the floor. Again, i dont blame him and then, i was like, okay, im out. I walked to the elevators. First, i walked up to mayas office, got my backpack and my coat, went down to the street, held up my little hand, was about to get a cab and then i got a call, lorne wants to see you so i went back up and he apologized but still, i felt terrible like, the whole thing was a disaster but i dont know. That is that was the worst that was a really sad story. Happy birthday, lorne, by the way. I hope you had a good birthday day. [ laughter ] seth it should be noted. I mean, it is it is intensely stressful to be underneath the bleachers with lorne oh, my god. Seth you mentioned the headset. He is wearing a headset that is plugged directly into the monitor. Yes seth so that he can get he can get just like mainline the sketch into his ears yes, so hes hearing it, and im kind of not hearing it and yeah and so and then, David Mack Wilson was another sketch where Rachel Dratch played a little boy, and lorne, it was she played a child actor, and it was real quiet and lorne turned to me in the middle of it, and he was like, this is almost brechtian, in a withering way. And i was like, i dont really even know what that means, but i know its not good [ laughter ] i know brecht. But anyway so there was just a lot of so many so many hot farts under that bleachers, cause the nerves, it was terrible seth it should note, lest anybody should doubt, that you also had monster hits in your time on the show oh, seth, youre so sweet seth you and maya were friends at the groundlings you wrote donatella versace. Oh god. Seth and i mentioned to you, i ran into her recently. And i only sort of i had no awareness of her until you did this sketch. And she was very complimentary she enjoyed it she did she had a very good sense of humor. You know, as i think europeans have better sense of humors about themselves, you know like she was thought it was very funny and adored maya she gave us both very expensive watches. Which, one, i still have, but i cant wear it cause its bananas looking. [ laughter ] by the way, hugh grant i mean, can you stand it he is so cute. Seth you one thing that i know youve used some of your writing for and some of the rejected sketches, and ive talked to amy poehler about this, tina fey about this. There is a text chain of women who worked on the show that i was lucky enough to cross over with and you guys did a zoom talent show with your children that is already legendary. Is it i wish it was. Yeah i my son, rowe, won that talent show. He did a very confusing sketch that i had written for steve martin and seth, it was such a spivey special. I dont mean to talk about myself in third person but it was called it was, are you looking for a rocking good time with stick to your ribs grub and entertainment you need to get yourself down to rocking rs and captain ts smoking ribs and stuffing blues and such [ laughter ] so the idea was just this ridiculous restaurant where you poked, you know you ate mashed potatoes out of an old boot, or you poked a donkey in the eye. Like it was just stupid. And rowe went on and read all these crazy lines to a group of amazing, i mean how did i even get in this group andrea martin, tina fey, paula pell, jon hamm and he was amazing and he won the talent show, according to all the tanglets, which is what we call the tang kids, the little tanglets. [ laughter ] seth now, it should be noted, the tang is it is a a text chain that i have with paula pell, tina fey, ana gasteyer, rachel dretch, maya rudolph, and me, who am i leaving out amy poehler. Seth thats a pretty good group of people. I mean, its the funnest. I dont know what i would the funnest. I dont know would what i would do without it. [ laughter ] i would not get through this like turd hoagie that is 2020 without the tang. Seth the funnest there you are being brechtian again. Oh, so brechtian. He was so withering when he said that, i was like, can i kill myself . [ laughter ] seth i remember you and amy at the readthrough table were close enough that you could pass notes. Yes seth i was right next to dratch dratch and i were note sharers yes seth and it was a great gift because those were the most stressful times of the week. Oh my god, horrible seth how was were your note passing days with poehler wonderful . Oh, my god, they were so well you know, like, constantly also, seth, next time im on, or maybe at my funeral when youre speaking at my funeral, ill read what you cause we used to pass notes too. But my favorite note that poehler ever passed me was, i think, you know, jostie colin jost used to come in looking like hed run through sprinklers all the way to 30 rock. [ laughter ] and his hair was so you know that beautiful head of hair, soaking wet. Seth yeah. Like, jostie, what the hell are you doing anyway so he came in sopping wet. It was like a jost wet tshirt contest, cause he just had on a white shirt, you could see his nips and his chest hair. And then, me and poehler were like, oh. And then, poehler passed me a note that said, i like jostie in the arm area. [ laughter ] seth i dont know, i feel like somebody should read that at josts funeral. Listen, maybe well be buried together you know what, seth, is jost listen, seth, is jost okay because im worried. Why are you worried because who can he find a girlfriend how is his career going . Seth oh, i dont know if youve heard, hes doing excellent. Right tell me whats going on. Oh please, jost, are you okay, baby [ laughter ] seth i think hes doing just fine and i also you know, even in that clip, we heard some of our friends obviously in bless the harts, that was kristin, that was maya.
