Announcer from 30 Rockefeller Plaza in new york, its late night with seth meyers. Tonight hank azaria, star of cunk on earth, actress diane morgan an allnew closer look. Featuring the 8g band with Urian Hackney. [ cheers and applause and now, Seth Meyers Seth good evening. Im seth meyers, and this is late night. We hope youre doing well tonight. And now, if you dont mind, were going to get to the news the white house announced on friday that President Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest and the lesion is already running two points ahead of desantis [ laughter ] former President Trump attended cpac over the weekend and told reporters he would not drop out of the 2024 election if hes indicted on criminal charges you know, we compare him to a mobster all the time, but now hes literally saying, no problem, i can still run things from the joint. [ laughter ] in his speech over the weekend at cpac, former President Trump said that before he came along, the Republican Party was run by freaks and fools yeah nothing like the rhodes scholars we have today. [ laughter ] thats like going to orlando and saying, you know, it wasnt always this nice. [ laughter ] donald trump jr. s fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle spoke over the weekend at cpac and it looked like a rousing speech until they cut to the audience take a look. All of us in this room have one message to joe biden it is time to put America First [ scattered cheers ] [ laughter ] seth which brings us to a segment called where is everybody seth where is everybody . Ive never seen a theater that empty, and i used to do longform improv [ laughter ] ive been in elevators more crowded than that. Where is did they accidentally schedule you against kid rock karaoke that [ laughter ] speech must have taken twice as long just to account for the echo [ light laughter ] speaking of, why are you yelling . Its not like you need to play to the back of the house and whats this all of us in the room have one message for joe biden youre the only one there. [ laughter ] there couldnt be a second message in the room for joe biden. If anything, that room has one message for you bring it way down [ laughter ] announcer this has been where is everybody . Seth its a hit. Its a hit new segment [ laughter ] Florida Governor ron desantis spoke yesterday at the Ronald Reagan president ial library. Specifically he said all these . Gotta go. [ light laughter ] tv host rachael ray has announced shes ending her talk show after 17 seasons. She made the decision in less than 30 minutes, but at home it would take you two hours [ light laughter ] didnt didnt do great, better than i thought it would do [ laughter ] so thats kind im not saying its a win win [ light laughter ] definitely a win lose. A woman in florida recently set a Guinness World record by running 23 ultra marathons in 23 days. In less happy news, her car is basically undrivable now [ laughter ] finally, United Airlines has announced that it will offer tmobile customers free wifi on all flights. And spirit announced that theyre gonna fly really close, and you should be able to hop on their network. [ laughter ] good photoshop [ cheers and applause good photoshop that was the monologue, everybody. [ cheers and applause weve got a great show for you tonight. Hes an emmywinning actor you know from the birdcage, brockmire and the simpsons. His latest, hello tomorrow is on apple tv plus now hank azaria will be here, everybody. [ cheers and applause very excited to have hank back hes one of our favorites. And her show, cunk on earth hit netflix a month ago, and everyone in comedy is talking about how its the funniest new thing. Diane morgan will also be joining us [ cheers and applause but before we get to all that, prominent republicans, including donald trump, gathered for the annual conservative Political Action conference over the weekend, where speakers like don jr. , mike lindell and nikki haley were greeted by the embarrassing spectacle of halfempty rooms while they ranted about the usual conspiracy theories and culture war nonsense but there was one major republican politician who wasnt in attendance. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause [ cheers and applause seth there is of course one name looming over all of republican politics right now, and thats ron desantis, the Florida Governor whos expected to launch his 2024 bid soon. Now, desantis main focus as governor has been using the power of the government to fight socalled wokeism, which, as far as i can tell, he cant even define it just seems to mean anything thats bothering conservatives and wealthy old comedians. [ laughter ] its basically just a collection of petty grievances about meaningless culture war issues like genderneutral potato head dolls [ light laughter ] or m ms not wearing sexy clothes anymore. A thing they on purpose say out loud all the time. If you accidentally said you thought the green m m was hot in fourth grade, youd be teased about it until you graduated high school. [ laughter ] oh, dont open those around ronny or else hes going to melt in his pants. [ laughter ] if republicans win it all in 2024, im sure their first act right out of the gate will be a law requiring the green m m to wear full bdsm gear. [ laughter ] [ cheers ] [ bleep [ bleep ], it kind of worked on me [ laughter ] desantis chose to skip the conservative Political Action conference and give a speech at the Ronald Reagan library over the weekend, where he once again complained about wokeism i think these liberal states have gotten it wrong and why are they getting it wrong . I think it all goes back to ideology i think it goes back to this woke mind virus thats infected the left and all these other institutions seth what the hell is the woke mind virus . [ laughter ] they should add a ron desantis character to the last of us, whos always focused on the wrong thing. The goddamn virus turned my whole family into mushroom monsters. It could be worse they could have turned into drag queens. [ laughter ] hey, hey ron, could you shut the [ bleep ] up [ cheers and applause also you think the left you think the left has a mind virus . Let me ask let me ask you, which of these sounds more like a mind virus to you . The side that wants to teach accurate history, provide genderaffirming care to children, protect people from gun violence, and safeguard reproductive rights . Or the side that whines about not wanting to bang m ms anymore, bans books from middle school libraries, and watches fox news all day, getting angry about gas stoves and lego sets lego is going woke. The Company Unveiling a range of new characters in the effort to be more inclusive. Lego says the new characters will promote diversity and understanding. Seth dear god, a childrens toy [ light laughter ] promoting diversity and understanding. Whats next . Dogs that work as a team [ laughter ] to rescue people . Also, the only problem anyone should ever have with lego is how mad they get when you say the plural of lego is legos. A mistake i made multiple times. Let me tell you, those people are maniacs. They get so mad. Last time i said it wrong, i woke up to find a lego horse head in my bed [ laughter ] that wasnt the bad part then it fell on the floor and i [ bleep ] stepped on it. [ laughter ] the point is, desantis knows that the modern g. O. P. Doesnt actually care about using government to help people, it only cares about the culture wars so hes weaponizing government to use it as a tool in those culture wars hes been engaged in a spree of censorship laws that ban content conservatives dont like, all the way from Elementary School to college and now republicans in the Florida State legislature have introduced a bill that would require bloggers who write about governor ron desantis, his cabinet, or state legislatures, to register with the state so now, theyre going after bloggers, why . Did desantis get mad when fashion bloggers made fun of the photo of him in his fancy white boots . [ laughter ] thats a real picture. For some reason [ light laughter ] desantis decided to try out 60s gogo boots [ light laughter ] looks like an austin powers fembot by the way [ laughter ] bloggers sound like what those boots are called im gonna put on my bloggers and see if i can spear a few swamp clams. [ light laughter ] maybe its not the boots maybe desantis is just mad because bloggers are writing about all the different nicknames donald trump has been workshopping for him right now, trump seems to be sticking with ron desanctimonious, which hasnt exactly lit the world on fire but his allies have said in private that hes been tinkering with some alternatives you may have already heard that sometimes trump reportedly refers to him in private as meatball ron, which [ light laughter ] personally, i think is the best option so far i mean, why keep digging when you strike gold . I cant believe im saying this to donald trump of all people, but dont overthink it [ laughter ] meatball ron sounds like a villain on veggie tales or a Carnegie Deli sandwich named after ron perlman. But trump is still tinkering apparently, hes mulling some other options. Some of the new ideas the former president s entertained ron dishonest, ron destablishment, or even tiny d. Well [ laughter ] ron dishonest and ron destablishment, thanks for playing, but i think we have our [ bleep ] winner tiny d the first time trump calls him that to his face, desantis is going to spontaneous combust and leave nothing behind but a pair of empty white boots [ laughter ] tiny d . [ light laughter ] i bet when trump finally comes up with the right nickname for someone, white smoke comes out of the maralago chimney, like [ light laughter ] when they elect a new pope. Hesa done it donald has come up with a nickaname. Aletsa celebrate by eating a meatball ron. [ laughter ] how can you argue with tiny d . It sounds like something desantis should have on a gold chain around his neck like a failed [ laughter ] failed rap he can call his debut album woke mind virus. [ laughter ] now as we mentioned earlier, desantis is the name looming over conservative politics right now, which is why it was notable that he skipped the conservative Political Action conference. In return, trump took a thinly veiled shot at desantis on his fake twitter site, writing that the only reason certain candidates wont be going to cpac is because the crowds have no interest in anything they have to say. Theyve heard it all before and they dont want to hear it again. But my speech on saturday night is already a soldout monster. They are trying to expand the room and space. [ light laughter ] now, a charitable interpretation for expand the room and space is trump means they might need a bigger room or a second room for overfill, but again, this is a man who tried to buy greenland so he might very well think they were literally considering construction to make the room bigger somehow just push the walls out. Yeah, we cant do that, sir, because the there are rooms on the other side of the walls. Wont matter. Just keep pushing. If we [ light laughter ] if we do that, the other rooms will be too small to fit anything. I know something that can fit in a little room tiny d. [ laughter and applause [ flame roars ]e oh, is someone is someone cooking meatballs . [ light laughter ] maybe trumps crowd was bigger, but sadly you couldnt say that for every cpac speaker, many of whom spoke to embarrassingly small audiences, even including supposedly big g. O. P. Names like nikki haley, don jr. And Kimberly Guilfoyle im running for president to renew an america thats strong and proud, not weak and woke [ scattered cheers and applause ] [ light laughter ] all of us in this room have one message to joe biden it is time to put America First [ scattered cheers and applause ] is it unreasonable for me to expect as a citizen of the United States of america to have a United States senator seth whoa. That looks less like an audience, and more like the tour group at a spoon museum on a tuesday morning. [ light laughter ] ive seen middle School Dance Recitals with a bigger audience. He looks like hes doing an offbroadway oneman show called, the real cocaine bear. [ laughter ] hey, could somebody tell cspan to stop cutting to the [ bleep ] audience . [ laughter ] the point is, cpac was a window into the unhinged nature of the modern conservative world view theyre all in a little echo chamber screaming to halfempty Conference Rooms about made up bull[ bleep ] most normal people dont care about in fact, to show you how disconnected they are from the average american voter, they actually invited the pillow guy, mike lindell, to speak on stage about his repeatedly debunked election lies. Thank you, everybody. What do you think im going to talk about [ cheers ] we need to melt down the machines and turn em into prison bars. [ cheers ] i got teams of people in every state. In fact, im going to announce in a minute this new thing i have thats called the Election Crime Bureau we dont want to use these machines we want paper ballots handcounted i talked to germany and france and the uk and netherlands where they use handcounted paper ballots. Seth germany, france, uk all right, i think i know what happened here. Some teenagers have been prank calling mike lindell pretending to be different countries. [ light laughter ] hello, zis is france. [ light laughter ] we are trying to find lhomme de pillow, mike lindell. [ laughter ] thank you so much for reaching out i have a ton of questions. First of all, how do you say election in french . Election. Oh, good, so french is the same as english. [ light laughter ] and then, of course, there was donald trump who did his usual schtick, rambling incoherently like when he talked about the hypothetical scenario of russia bombing nato, or something nato wouldnt even exist if i didnt get them to pay up. But they paid up 449 billion or something. And thats the money they use. Theyre rich as hell right now they spent an Office Building that cost 3 billion its like a skyscraper in manhattan, laid on its side. Its one of the longest buildings ive ever seen and i said, you should have instead of spending 3 billion, you should have spent 500 Million Building the greatest bunker youve ever seen. Because russia wouldnt even need an airplane attack. One tank, one shot, through that beautiful Glass Building and its gone. Same architect i used in chicago. Great architects, but they didnt have war in mind. But when things happen, that building would be gone in about 15 minutes they should have spent a 500 million bunker nice, thick ceiling, six inches, six feet of concrete seth yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [ laughter ] sure, but its the left that has a mind virus [ laughter ] this is like watching an hgtv home makeover show where the host has a massive head wound. [ light laughter ] okay. I like the subway tile you have here in the kitchen, but im thinking instead of a breakfast nook, what you could really use here is steel reenforced concrete bunker in case russia [ laughter ] decides to nuke your house. Also, barn doors are so 2009. [ laughter ] as addled as trump was when he was in office, he is even more scatterbrained now thats what you get when you move to a golf resort in florida, where the sun fries your brain, and youre surrounded by other old weirdos or waitstaff who are required to tell you all your ideas are awesome. So thats why nato should build a beautiful bunker using the same architects i used in chicago in case russia decides to bomb them with a tank what do you think . That sounds great, mr. Trump. Now would you like ketchup with your omelet . [ light laughter ] you know im trying to cut down on my cholesterol, so skip the omelet and just give me a big ol plate of ketchup. [ light laughter ] but at some point, trump got to what i assume was supposed to be the central premise of his 2024 campaign, with this startling line about how he could finally complete the assault on democracy he began in 2020. And if you put me back in the white house, their reign is over their reign will be over [ cheers ] and they know it and america will be a free nation once again. Were not a free nation right now. We dont have free press we dont have free anything. In 2016, i declared, i am your voice. Today i add, i am your warrior i am your justice. [ cheers ] and for those who have been wronged and betrayed, i am your retribution. I am your retribution. [ cheers ] seth he was such a terrible president , and now hes auditioning to be batman but [ laughter ] problem is, he would never respond to the bat signal. Because theres no way hes ever just looking pensively out the window youd have to text it to him or just shine it on Sean Hannitys forehead oh [ laughter ] you know what you could do you could project it on a solar eclipse, he looks at those [ light laughter ] also that line is so much less dramatic when trump says it in that soft, singsongy voice he uses like, when batman says stuff like that, at least he growls. Trump sounds like hes humming a song he heard on the radio i am your warrior [ laughter ] i am i am your retribution [ light laughter ] you can count on me my names tiny d [ laughter ] even though desantis wasnt at cpac, he made it clear that his priorities are very much the same the modern conservative movement doesnt have answers to the very real problems facing americans today. So instead they want to use government to fix all the petty, little cultural grievances they have cpac offered a revealing and embarrassing glimpse into the unhinged modern g. O. P. They have two terrible choices a big d to take the party in three straight elections, or a tiny d thats no bigger than six inches. Seth this has been [ laughter ] a closer look.

[ cheers and applause seth welcome back. Thank you [ cheers and applause hi, everybody. Seth this is a fantastic new show congratulations. Thank you seth with a pretty trippy premise. Can you lay it out for us . Its hard to lay out the premise. Seth it is i do think its a very difficult task ive had practice for a year and im still not great at it. But it takes place in like a jetsons vision of the future like the future we were promised in the 50s but never got. Seth right, floating cars and that sort of thing yeah. Jet packs and robots and things like that. Seth yep and these are conmen, salesmen, selling condos on the moon [ light laughter ] yeah you know, that old chestnut. [ laughter ] every year they bring out one of these. And it was fun in the scene you saw, you know, these guys hes a really cynical, hes a gambling addict and he would sell, you know, his own mother anything. And probably has and yet hes caught up in this dream of actually going they were talking about a condo on the moon that they bought. They were psyched to get up there and go seth you mention a gambling addiction. This is yes seth youve done this before youve played a gambling addict before i have played many addicts [ light laughter ] seth yeah. And ive lived some of it too. Seth yeah. Well, brockmire, a show i loved. You were, you know, an addicted gambler as well. So this well he was drug and he was addicted to everything. Seth yeah, he was. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll baby [ laughter ] seth but you do, you were a poker player i still am. Im gonna play tonight seth you are you still play good for you i still play, yes seth because we faced off once i remember. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] celebrity poker. Celebrity poker showdown. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] this is years ago. This is like the early 2000 aughts my buddies andy newman and josh malina actually produced that show. Seth it was a really fun show well, you won if i remember correctly. Seth i won the whole thing i should not have. [ light laughter ] well, yeah, i was you know, i at that time we played a no limit hold em tournament seth yep and i was used to playing stud poker but you know seth a lot of excuses right out of the gate here exactly [ laughter ] but you remember how bummed i was when i lost . Seth yes well i was like bereft i was really upset seth theres a photo of both of us. And it definitely if you just saw the photo, you would be like, oh, hank definitely is the one who is going to lose this. Look at the two im just falling to pieces. [ light laughter ] look how confident you are i was about to donkey off all my stack to amy poehler right after that seth oh, thats right. Poehler was in it as well. Yeah, she took all my money seth well, im very sorry. [ light laughter ] this, by the way so ive read the show described, which i think is a very accurate description of the show mad men meets the jetsons. Kinda, yeah seth a little glengarry glen ross in there as well i feel definitely, con men salesmen. Seth but its this beautiful retroy 50s look. And these are, you know, one of the robots there yeah. Seth of sorts. And it looks practical it does not look cgi but of course, there are you know, there is a method to the madness of the madmen. Well yeah these robots were real, meaning they were there with us. They werent added later but along with these robots came these guys in green unitards [ light laughter ] operating them as puppeteers and including like, yeah seth thats a very good picture of what youre talking about. [ laughter ] but, wait, that actually was more sane because they have their when they were operating in the take they had green masks on also. Seth right so they were just like these mummenschanz green people. [ light laughter ] and you have to like im there trying to emote with Emmy Award Winner billy crudup and theres these folks all around you like going [ laughter ] and but you get used to it. Seth yeah. That i guess is the weirdest thing, the day where you realize youre used to the green people. [ laughter ] it takes ten minute all of show business is like that seth right it really is. You know what was one of the weirdest days of my life like, being on the red carpet, you know, the red carpet whatever it was, the emmys, whatever it was. Seth yeah. And at first when youre on that red carpet, youre like heart is pounding in your throat youre like, oh my god you cant believe youre in the middle of this iconic, crazy thing. And then you cut to like 15 years later and literally like, oh, man. [ laughter ] gotta talk to e. T. I guess whatever can we get it over with . [ light laughter ] seth yeah. Just feels like so, yeah, like, but, shooting is nuts anyway because, before every take, for example, you know, makeup comes doing this to you. And hair is doing this and like its like chimps grooming each other. [ light laughter ] and they like pick stuff off and actually eat it. [ light laughter ] and people you accept and right before the moment you shoot, youll accept any behavior like, they can spray paint your head seth yeah. Take off your clothes i guess, im naked in this take whatever. [ laughter ] and, you know, its just like seth i the thing that always shocked me about acting and obviously ive done it far less than you, but you do you think as an actor all the notes are going to be about your performance. Yeah. Seth and instead they go, cut. And the director is like, move the curtain. Yeah. Seth and you realize, theyre youre basically just one of the other props in the shot [ light laughter ] totally totally. When you look at dailies, when people watch and gather, you know, the Hair Department only sees hair. Seth yeah. The actors only look at their performance. Set dec only sees whats going on in the set. And you know, ill do a take i thought was great and someone will go, oh, god [ light laughter ] im like, what was wrong . Like, your hair was like that in this one. [ laughter ] im like, who cares . Seth just get it so for in the future, you should have a couple green people just watching your hair exactly [ laughter ] seth i have a ton more questions. Well be right back with more from hank azaria [ cheers and applause [ am pm by notd begins ] how good does it feel when threshold decor welcomes more seasonal style for less .

[ cheers and applause seth welcome back to late night. Were here with hank azaria. Now, weve been talking about youve been doing this a long time you do not have a very long time. Seth very long time. Im very tired. Seth youve accomplished [ light laughter ] its amazing you have the energy to even be here. It is seth based on how long youve been doing this yeah, lets move it along because [ laughter ] seth you dont have to audition anymore, but you did and i think this is very helpful for actors you had an ice breaker in the audition setting. Youve done your research, sir. Seth yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Never went well, though, my ice breaker. Seth oh, thats good so this is a cautionary tale well, i was mentioning earlier, you know, the absurdity of shooting. The whole thing is kind of crazy. And, so, often you go into auditions and theyll say you know, itll be the producers and the director and people, and say, any questions . Do you have any questions . Meaning about the script or the character. And i would say, yeah, um, so, im supposed to pretend im this guy . [ laughter ] and they would look at me and theyd go yeah. Yeah. [ laughter ] and id say, and youre going to point a camera at it, but im supposed to pretend i dont notice that . [ laughter ] and they would go yeah. And i would like at them like they were insane and go, ookaaay. [ laughter ] listen, that did much better than it ever did in the room [ laughter ] seth right, right. Well, thats nice, were completing the circle here they would just they would look terrified around answer earnestly, yes, thats right. Yes, yes. [ laughter ] and then years later, when i became a producer and auditioned a lot of people, i realized that actors are often quite crazy seth yeah. [ light laughter ] so they might actually seth theyve heard other versions of that, probably oh, you dont know that somebody is not having some kind of psychotic break in front of you. [ light laughter ] and need to be reminded that, yes, the camera is going to be there, yeah. Seth what about this is amazing. 34 34th season of the simpsons. [ cheer and applause ] yeah, i mean seth yeah. Well currently, 34 is airing. Were currently making 35. But who is counting except for my business manager. Seth right, exactly. [ light laughter ] and now how how much of your time is now spent and because again you do so many voices on the show yeah. Seth is it have you become so efficient that you dont have to work as many hours doing it or is it exactly as much time as im going to answer as mo, just to seth okay, great, thank you. [ cheers and applause just cause i feel like it. Seth okay. Yeah, i dont i barely work like three minutes. [ laughter ] you know, they show me the thing, i say the thing, and then they send a check, you know. [ laughter ] you know seth there you go. Nice and easy. Sometimes comic book guy gets involved [ light laughter ] he says a few things thank you for acknowledging me [ laughter ] seth now, do you get a little excited when a new one comes up, when they come i mean its rare seth yeah, at this point, i mean, i feel like they dont want to overwork you theres probably some labor laws involved of getting [ light laughter ] i doubt it. Seth yeah. No, like, i you know, Jim Brockmire is a guy that i did on a tv show brockmire, a show i did for a while. And he has now found his way into the show a little bit seth oh, they hes found his way into the thats wonderful. Yeah. I just played a some kind of a salesman i dont remember what a car salesman and i said, ah, lets go with Jim Brockmire for this one. [ light laughter ] so, yeah, but theyre all the voices are you know, relatives or teachers. Seth yeah. People i grew up with seth thats i mean, at what point did everybody in your life realize, oh, no [ laughter ] oh, ive had there was a guy i did this character on mad about you called nat the dog walker and he talked like this. Hey, how you doin here . Whats goin on . And he was based on a guy i grew up with. Who i ran into while the show was on [ laughter ] said, hey i saw you on mad about you. How did you think of that crazy character . [ laughter ] i was like, i dont know. I just kind of draw on the people i knew in my life. And he did not catch on that seth well, there you go. [ laughter ] there you go well, its still a loving tribute either way yeah, lets call it that. [ laughter ] seth hey, thanks for being here its always such a pleasure to see you.

Lets take a look. Just look at this 14th century painting of jesus having his fateful tea party. The dimensions are all wrong the rooms squashed up so it looks like its happening in the lid of a Cardboard Box jesus is twice as big as the others so, it looks like hes enjoying an intimate dinner with schoolboys [ laughter ] not good look. And what are those, bowls or seashells . Its just shoddy craftsmanship absolutely disgraceful it shouldnt even be in a museum but da vincis reboot of the same painting is a different story. He knew how to perspective the [ bleep ] out of things. [ laughter ] look at the angles of the walls in the last supper, and the table there. You almost feel like you could crawl inside it and betray jesus yourself [ laughter ] seth please welcome to the show, diane morgan, everybody. [ cheers and applause seth welcome to the show, diane. Thanks for having me. Seth im really thrilled to have you i keep saying everybody has been talking about cunk for the last month to me and i love i mean, the name Philomena Cunk is such a wonderful character name yeah. Seth when you first saw it, did you know, oh, thats really good . Uh, yeah. I thought, thats weird. [ light laughter ] seth yeah. And well, it turns out that they wanted like a posh character. And im not posh and so, i went into the audition for philomena, did my best posh. And but i knew that it would be better in my own accent, because its so flat [ laughter ] and depressing it just adds something seth well, it is the most wonderful thing is you have this character who is telling us about history. And just seems not only disinterested, deeply bored by everything [ laughter ] and i think thats where the flatness really comes in handy absolutely. Because i know that everyone watching it is bored by history as well. [ laughter ] so i know what people want seth yeah. [ laughter ] i know. I know when someone is being really boring and dull to move it on. [ laughter ] i just yawn in their face. Seth its true, because when you watch those history shows where the host is really excited about it, it makes you feel bad because you dont share it yeah, because you keep thinking, this is boring. Seth do you have any personal interest in history yourself no, i hate it [ laughter ] boring unless its something really weird. Seth okay. So you like i like weird stuff. Seth yeah. I like to hear about the bermuda triangle, stuff like that seth okay, gotcha. So, thats i realize thats not history. But, you know [ laughter ] i like im just saying i like weird stuff. If its not weird, im not interested seth yeah. So you i know youve done a couple series of this. You did cunk on britain and this is cunk on earth. One of the things thats been a through line is you do talk to very informed people, experts, professors [ laughter ] and i mean, its so wonderful to watch you talk to them because you ask them lets be honest very funny, but very dumb questions. [ laughter ] yeah. Very deep questions sometimes. [ laughter ] seth yeah. One of my favorites in the series, you believe the renaissance cunk believes thought was a sauce. A nice sauce, yeah. [ laughter ] seth now, while youre speaking of this renaissance expert, how much do they know ahead of time when you shoot those what theyre about to embark upon . They dont know well, they know that its a comedy. Seth uhhuh. Now, the cat is out of the bag now. Seth right but they play along they dont know what im going to ask seth yep so they dont know any of the questions. And its nice to sort of back people into a corner seth yeah. [ laughter ] and watch them struggle seth they do a very they do a very nice job of not breaking, because they break. Seth yeah. And then you they just cut it out. Seth you just edit it out, yeah [ laughter ] now do you like them so you, obviously know its unusable once they break but do you as a performer enjoy the moment when you make these professors and art historians laugh . Yeah. But you think, oh, no, well have to go back and do it again. [ laughter ] seth you do a wonderful job. It feels as though you are everybody who makes this show is experts in the sort of tropes of these historical reenactment or travel shows you do a great amount of walking in the woods yeah. [ laughter ] seth a lot of walking and talking. We were talking backstage, theres a scene in the second episode where, i mean, i think its about a fourminute monologue where youre Walking Around a castle. Yeah. Seth im so impressed by the amount of walking and talking you do i do a lot of walking seth yeah. Do you enjoy being out in the woods doing your walking and talking . Uh, not really. Its very cold seth yeah. But its just one of those tropes that history documentaries always have. Theyre always walking through the woods. [ laughter ] or just staring off into the middle distance. [ laughter ] you know seth you do a wonderful as a performer, im very taken with how cunk trips a lot i love a trip i love a bit of physical comedy. Seth theyre all very, like, little trips that you try to then play off. Yeah. Seth im such a fan of the little trip. Are you i love a trip [ laughter ] seth oh, i love a trip especially from someone who is hosting a history show and theres this real gravitas to it fall over seth a little trip yeah [ laughter ] yeah. Yeah seth do you know when youve done a good one when youre shooting youre like, perfect, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, there was one i rolled down a hill at one point. [ laughter ] which i was at this top of a sand dune. And i thought i didnt tell anyone i was going to do it. I just thought, this is going to be quite boring, me walking down a sand dune so, im just going to fall over. [ laughter ] no one came to help me i was rolling. [ laughter ] just kept rolling. And they were just filming [ laughter ] seth this is how much you care about your craft, youre willing to take a header im just worried that people are going to be bored. So i think, ill fall over. [ laughter ] seth now, again, because theres such attention to detail, have people when this first started in the uk, did people think it was a real show . Yes seth okay, so they did and they still do seth they still do [ laughter ] on twitter i still get people going, this presenter is terrible. [ laughter ] she doesnt know what shes talking about. Shes getting all these facts wrong. [ laughter ] the bbc are really dumbing down. [ laughter ] seth you now, were you did you original think comedy was your path . Or did you think just acting in general . Did you think no. I wanted to be a comedy actor from age 15. Seth oh, wonderful thats what i wanted to do. You know, i grew up watching like harold lloyd and laurel and hardy. I was just, you know, obsessed thats what i wanted to do seth and did you do it at all at university . Or did you i went to drama school. Seth okay, gotcha. Yeah. Seth and then how were they with attempting comedy were they all right with it . Well i went, i went to the head of the school and i said, look, im not interested in shakespeare, you know. I only want to do comedy so, just let me do i just want to get better at comedy. And he started giving me like lady macbeth [ laughter ] parts like that. And but luckily i got big laughs as lady macbeth [ laughter ] so i was really proud. Seth to this day they say you were the funniest lady macbeth. [ laughter ] the funniest lady macbeth, yeah seth and then, did you it is true that you did standup for a while . I did it for nearly ten years. Seth and did you love it i hated it. [ laughter ] i hated it did you do standup seth i do still a little did you hate it you still do it . Seth i do, yeah. Do you hate it . Seth i dont hate it, no why not its awful [ laughter ] seth what did you hate about it just going about a night on your own, traveling around late at night seth yeah. Dealing with crowds that, you know, were horrible. [ laughter ] you could just tell some nights they were just horrible people [ light laughter ] and you would have to pander to them seth yeah. I just i just felt physically sick every time i did it [ laughter ] seth do you feel, like, great relief being past that part of your career . Yes, absolutely i mean, you know, fingers crossed. Seth yeah. Knock on wood seth well, i certainly i might have to go back at some point seth based on what youve said, i wont be very excited if im in an audience and you walk out. [ laughter ] oh, no.
