An allnew closer look. Featuring the 8g band with andy hurley. [ cheers and applause ] and now, seth meyers. Seth good evening. Im seth meyers. This is late night. We hope youre doing well. And now, if you dont mind, were going to get to the news. Former President Trump visited a chickfila restaurant in atlanta yesterday, and as usual was the weirdest man alive. Is business good . Yes. Making a lot of money . Yes get rich, right . [ light laughter ] seth no, theyre not getting rich. Theyre working for 7. 25 an hour. Do you think they own the company . Thats like visiting an Amazon Warehouse and saying, amazon, thats a big brand. Which yacht did you take to work today . [ laughter ] thats right, trump visited a chickfila restaurant in atlanta yesterday and praised the restaurant for being closed on sundays, calling it, quote, the lords chicken. Which is also what he used to call mike pence. [ laughter ] former President Trump posted on truth social yesterday that during his criminal hush money trial next week, he will be, quote, forced to sit gagged before a highly conflicted and corrupt judge whose hatred for me has no bounds. So, you know, just like dinner. [ laughter ] former President Trump attended a fundraiser last night hosted by an orlando personal injury lawyer who gave trump some really good fundraising ideas. I slipped at the piggly wiggly, folks. [ laughter ] House Speaker mike johnson met one on one yesterday with republican representative Marjorie Taylor greene for 70 minutes. And whatever you think of johnson, that is a long time to be stuck in a conversation with someone whos into crossfit. [ laughter ] the alabama secretary of state sent a letter to the Democratic Party this week warning that President Biden could be excluded from its ballot because the Democratic National convention occurs after the filing deadline. Wow. There go bidens chances of winning alabama. [ laughter ] in a new profile in the atlantic, a former republican lawmaker claimed that florida congressman matt gaetz, quote, used to walk around the cloakroom showing people porno of him and his latest girlfriend. Gross, who calls it porno . [ laughter ] a metal detector enthusiast in scotland recently found more than 50 ancient coins in a farmers field. Thats great for him. Its just a shame girlfriends arent made of metal. [ light laughter ] [ laughter ] looks like its metal detector week in new york. [ laughter ] baze wrote it. Baze is doubling down on the metal detector community, not me i think youre heroes wasnt for them, those coins would still be in a field, but [ bleep ] baze over there [ laughter ] that they find our artifacts, baze krispy kreme is now offering a kit kat cookie dream doughnut, which features a cookie dough filling and cookie crumbles topped with milk chocolate and cookie dough icing. And if that sounds good to you, i hope this also sounds good to you. [ dentist drill noises ] [ laughter ] and finally, it was dog therapy appreciation day. Said one patient, my mom was such a bitch [ laughter and applause ] that was the monologue, everybody we are off and running. [ cheers and applause ] weve got a great show for you tonight. Hes a tonywinning, emmynominated actor, and hes starring in a fantastic production of doubt a parable at Roundabout Theatre companys todd haimes theatre on broadway. Liev schreiber is back on the show, you guys. [ cheers and applause ] and you know her from cougar town, freaks and geeks, and mean girls. She stars in girls5eva, which is streaming now on netflix. Our friend Busy Philipps is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] double episodes of family trips, jorma taccone, one of the lonely island, is on family trips with me and my brother, and it is all to promote lonely island and seth meyers podcast. This is a podcast where me and the lonely island recap their fantastic digital shorts that were done at their tenure on snl. You guys, donald trump lost a series of last detch last ditch, excuse me. Im just gonna start over. Donald trump no, you know what . Im gonna stick with it. [ laughter ] attempts no, im gonna start over. [ laughter ] donald trump no i think you guys know. No im gonna start over. [ laughter ] donald trump lost a series of lastditch attempts to delay his hush money trial, which means he is now just days away from becoming the first expresident to Face Criminal Charges in a courtroom. But trump apparently had enough time to stop by chickfila, which earned him some fawning coverage from fox news. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth in just a few days, barring any unforeseen developments, we will all witness the unprecedented spectacle of an expresident sitting in court for a criminal trial. As of now, that trial is set to move forward with jury selection on monday, despite trumps many desperate attempts to delay it. For a Third Straight day, a new York Appeals Court rejected an attempt by Donald Trumps lawyers to delay his hush money criminal trial. The former president has pleaded not guilty to charges that he falsified Business Records related to a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. His defense team still scrambling with some lastminute legal maneuvers after failing to get the trial postponed. Former President Trump has tried no fewer than ten times to delay this trial. Seth trump tried to delay ten times and failed every time. Its like when my Dentists Office catches me lying to cancel an appointment. Hi, sorry, cant make my cleaning today, my aunt is in town. No, shes not. Yeah, she is. Whats her name . Uh Stormy Daniels . [ laughter ] trump filed ten motions to delay in just one case. Combine that with his three other criminal trials, his civil cases, his various appeals, and he is piling up legal bills at a truly shocking rate. Donald trump has spent are you ready for this number . More than 100 million on legal bills since 2021. 230,000 is a huge amount of money. Thats how much Donald Trumps save america pac has spent per day on the former president s legal bills in february. Seth first of all, its very funny that you have to pay all the lawyers for all your criminal trials through something called save america. Save america from what, you . [ laughter ] also, 230,000 a day for comparisons sake, you can buy a pristine 1967 chevy corvette with original transmission and teal blue interior for roughly the same price, which is perfect, because thats joe bidens favorite car. [ laughter ] biden should pull that thing up in front of the courthouse every day. Hey, donnie, whatd you spend your 230k on . [ light laughter ] every day that trump drops that much money on lawyers, you should have to hear joe biden say the words vroom, vroom, mother [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] over the weekend, trump held a highdollar fundraiser with elite wall street donors in palm beach where he raised tens of millions of dollars, some of which will likely go to his lawyers. As we mentioned earlier this week, the event was so fancy the evenings menu included an endive and frise salad, fillet au poivre, and pavlova with fresh berries for dessert. I guarantee trump has no idea what a pavlova is. He probably thinks thats the name of someone he dated. Pavlova . [ light laughter ] pavlova will be there . I thought we paid her off. [ laughter ] so thats what trump eats when hes behind closed doors with his rich buddies. But when the cameras are on and his supporters are around, he makes a big show of enjoying fast food, as he did on wednesday. Were on the scene right now in atlanta. That is former President Donald Trump taking a brief stop at a chickfila, right before we came on the air with these images youre looking at. Can i have 30 milkshakes . And also some chicken . Seth and thats just for me, you can pour the milkshakes into one big trough and then just get me a straw. [ laughter ] also, why do you mean, you want some chicken . [ light laughter ] you have to be more specific. Its chickfila. Everythings chicken. Thats like walking into a hotel bar and asking for a glass of your finest alcohol. Are you an undercover extraterrestrial . I would like to taste some of your finest chicken meat, perhaps an arm or a beak. [ laughter ] although my favorite part of that clip was the small talk trump tried to make with the employees when he ordered. So can i have 30 milkshakes . And also some chicken . Well take care of the customers. Is business good . Yes. Making a lot of money . Yes. Get rich, right . Thanks very much. Seth its like hes never talked to normal human beings in his life. [ light laughter ] does he think they own chickfila . Although, if you ask me, they deserve to be rich. Certainly richer than donald trump. And they deserve a raise for working that shift, because he for sure did not pay. Lets go 30 milkshakes and a bunch of chicken, and can i take a look at your Layaway Plans . [ light laughter ] i did think it was short for chickfilaaway. [ laughter ] although i will say, in fairness, it can be tough to make small talk in a restaurant. I mean, take it from me. Hi, how are you . Hi. Hi. Good to see you guys. You like ice cream too . Yeah. Seth in my defense in my defense. [ applause ] i didnt plan on getting ice cream. I didnt know that was going to happen. Its not like i sat at home workshopping that line. You guys enjoy frozen desserts . No, thats not [ laughter ] now, president ial candidates from both parties have routinely made appearances at fast food restaurants and burger joints. For example, and this is true, joe biden has been to every single ice cream parlor in the continental united states. [ light laughter ] you should see his Customer Loyalty card. [ laughter ] yet it probably wont shock you to learn that trumps cult followers on fox news fawned over him for having the wisdom and courage to walk into a chickfila and buy, as he put it, some chicken. Im thinking about how the fact that President Biden buys himself an ice cream cone, but you know, i dont know if he buys them for everyone else. I havent seen that part. Go ahead. Martha, i dont know if the president s done this for you. The last time we interviewed him at maralago, he wouldnt let us leave until he gave us maralago milkshakes. Seth what in gods name is a maralago milkshake . [ laughter ] that sounds like something trump would try to cover up by paying hush money to a porn star. Donald, why did you write a secret check for 130,000 . Lets just say i got a maralago milkshake. [ laughter ] from my dear friend pavlova. Can you even imagine whats in a milkshake at maralago . If donald trump gets to pick all the ingredients, the chefs must have a recipe longer than a cvs receipt. Okay, lets see here. A quarter cup of whole milk, one scoop chocolate ice cream, one scoop chocolate ice cream, ten scoops chocolate ice cream, a gallon of vanilla ice cream, six whole bottles of chocolate syrup including the container, adderall, ambien, amphetamines, ketamine, a double whopper with cheese and fries, 45 ketchup packets, and some chicken, you choose which parts. [ laughter ] also, let me just say, i also dont know if joe biden has ever bought ice cream for his supporters, but i know exactly what the headline on fox news would be if he did. Ice cream socialist [ light laughter ] but the fox segment then took a very bizarre turn. It may not shock you to hear fox was fawning over trump for buying chicken, but i guarantee you have no idea where this is going next. The last time we interviewed him at maralago, he wouldnt let us leave until he gave us maralago milkshakes. Which was i mean, again, the idea that democrats try to sell that trump is an awful human being, that hes adolf hitler, i dont know that hitler was regularly buying journalists milkshakes or walking into chickfila or dairy queen like this. Seth im sorry, you dont know that he didnt . [ laughter ] i know. He didnt. They say crazy [ bleep ] all the time on fox news. But theyre not willing to go out on a limb to say for certain that hitler didnt buy milkshakes for journalists . [ laughter ] also, everyone knows hitler never went to chickfila. He preferred to get his burgers from nein guys [ laughter ] what are you even talking about hitler for . No one else brought him up heres a good rule for life. You never want to be the first person in a conversation to bring up hitler. [ laughter ] and im not the only one who thinks its a weird thing to say. Check out the anchors face while hes talking about hitler. Im surprised she didnt just slowly duck down under her desk like this. I dont know that hitler was regularly buying journalists milkshakes [ laughter ] or walking into chickfila or dairy queen like this. [ cheers and applause ] seth see, Trump Supporters love making broad, sweeping arguments comparing trump to historical figures that make no sense whatsoever. On wednesday, trumps daughterinlaw, lara trump, who he installed as cochair of the Republican National committee, said trump has been treated worse than not just any president ever, but any person in the history of the world. If you want to look at a family, and ill say a man, in donald trump, who has had nothing but misinformation and disinformation, as they like to say on the other side of the aisle, thrown at him every single day. I mean, theres never been anyone in history, i dont think, that has taken as much incoming as donald trump. Seth first of all, he only takes incoming because he gives outgoing. The guys viciously attacked everyone, from disabled people to gold star families to the institutions of american democracies to toilets that dont flush. Although, now weve seen how many milkshakes he drinks, i think we know why. [ laughter ] second, anyone in history . History even if you ignore, say, abraham lincoln, i think maybe Julius Caesar would like to have a word. The dude was famously betrayed by his best buds. Can you imagine that happening to trump . What would trump even say . Et tu, rudy . Oh, sorry, boss [ laughter ] i was carrying this knife over to the table, and i tripped. [ laughter ] i was about to cut through some of the delicious chickfila you bought for us. [ laughter ] i didnt buy it. I said you would pay for it. [ laughter ] but this is the state of the modern gop. Its not an institution with any discernible policy goals. Its simply a vessel for trump worship. Heres arizona congressman andy biggs describing what he thinks the number one goal of House Republicans should be. I think job one is to get president Donald Donald trump reelected to be the president of the united states. Seth yeah, but what about passing laws . Can you guys think a second thing to do with your time other than help trump . Theres so much [ bleep ] you could fix. Immigration, healthcare, child poverty, hell, maybe you could pass a law that says when you get to the counter at a fast food restaurant, you have to specify what, exactly, youre ordering. Sorry, im going to circle back to this in a quick segment were calling seth circles back to something thats still bothering him from earlier in a closer look. [ laughter ] theres nothing worse nothing worse than a guy who gets up to the register and has no idea what he wants. Weve all been there. Its 8 30, youre late for work, youre on line at starbucks, the guy right in front of you gets to the counter, goes, hmm, you guys sure have a lot of sizes. [ laughter ] and the baristas are just sitting there staring at him thinking, even if hitler came to starbucks, he would have his order ready. [ laughter ] you cant just say you want some chicken look at the menu before its your turn to order. Heres my pitch we put a shot clock at every counter in america with a buzzer. You get 10 seconds. If youre not done with that order, you hear this sound. [ buzzer ] then youve got to go back to the end of the line and think about what you did wrong. [ cheers and applause ] you know, im sorry, guys, i really am. [ cheers and applause ] im sorry about this rant. Its just that curb is over and i feel like theres a place for insane takes about social etiquette. [ laughter ] this has been seth circles back to something thats still bothering him from earlier in a closer look. [ laughter ] so barring barring any unforeseen developments, trump will become the first expresident to face criminal trial in just days. Hes also still awaiting trials for interfering in the elections, subverting the vote count, and stealing classified documents that he then stored in his bathroom. Next to the toilet where he deposits all his maralago milkshakes. [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] we will be right back with liev schreiber, everybody [ cheers and applause ] announcer for more of seths closer looks, be sure to subscribe to late night on youtube.

The band is fresh off their massive worldwide headline Tour Supporting their latest release so much for starbus which debuted star uh, excuse me stardust excuse me. [ light laughter ] which debuted as the number one rock album in the country, andy hurley is here. [ cheers and applause ] thank you so much for being here again. Its been a delight having you. I have a i have a trivia question for you. Yeah. Seth trivia question. Who hosted snl when you guys were on . Natalie portman. Seth correct, well done. Come on, how would i forget that . Seth you took a second, i got nervous. I got nervous. Seth you nailed it though, well done. Our first guest tonight is a tonywinning, emmynominated actor you know from his work in ray donovan and spotlight. He is starring in doubt a parable at Roundabout Theatre, companys todd haimes theatre on broadway through april 21st. Please welcome to the show liev schreiber, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back. Thank you. Seth thank you for making time for us. And now youre going to go and do a show tonight. Yeah, thats going to be an interesting one. Seth youll be all right, youll be all right. You have described youve described doubt as a perfect play. What about it makes it a perfect play for you . Well, you know, its 90 minutes. We start at 7 00. Youre on time for dinner. So in my mind seth thats so nice. [ laughter ] i think for a lot of audience members, theyre like, sounds pretty perfect. Thats it, thats it. No, its an extraordinary piece of writing by john patrick shanley. Its just its the most economical, wonderfully layered, incredible play. Im thrilled to be in it. Seth you play a priest, and you found out you got an offer for the part yeah. Seth after you were leaving mass, which is maybe odd for a jewish guy. Seth yeah, odd for a jewish guy. [ laughter ] so that really does seem like a sign, the one time you go. Yeah. [ laughter ] no, i scott ellis, the interim artistic director of roundabout, called me, and he called me right after id come back from mass with my inlaws. You know, after seven years of ray donovan where i played a character who was abused by a catholic priest, playing marty baron in spotlight, the guy who led the investigation of the boston diocese, i wasnt really eager to do another, you know [ light laughter ] seth complete the trilogy . Yeah. You know. [ laughter ] i said, i said to scotty, i feel like ive kicked the Catholic Church enough. [ light laughter ] and i also felt like, you know, going to this mass in my small town in montauk was really it was kind of moving to me. And after, you know, scott and i worked it out, i went to a lot of masses. A friend of mine, rob mckinley and i started like going to every mass we could as a sort of like a Research Thing for the show. Seth would you go to multiple masses a day . Multiple mass yes, we would go to two masses a day. Seth wow, wow. I mean, i would go to two masses. It was interesting. Seth thats amazing for a jewish guy to be so much better a catholic than [ laughter ] im actually wearing a catholic medallion now. Im making a transition. No. [ laughter ] seth did you could you tell the difference between a good and bad sermon . I mean, going to a bunch absolutely. Seth okay, great. Absolutely. Seth so there are there are good ones . Yeah, theres a pragmatism. [ light laughter ] seth i said that in a way that made it sound like im almost shocked. Yeah, i almost missed it. Seth no, i didnt mean to. [ laughter ] well, thank you, i almost missed it. Seth i realized the audience heard it and i it was an accident. I heard the laugh, and i was like oh, no, no. Yeah, no absolutely. You know. I mean seth yeah. Well, maybe you dont know. Seth well, its about a performer, right . Well its about reaching the congregation. Seth yeah. Its about talking about things that people care about. I think in any in any church, thats thats how you do it. And our play is set in 1964, which is like right in the middle of vatican two, which is when the Catholic Church stopped doing masses in latin and trying to be more accessible to the to the the parishioners. Congregation. Seth so, for those who dont know the story, this is about you know, this is about a priest whos accused of of, you know, sexual misdeeds. Uhhuh. Seth and its also about the rush to judgment when someone is accused. Yeah. Seth that piece of it does feel i dont know, as present today as it was not just in 1964 but also when the play was written. I said that to scott when he asked me about doing the play. Aside from my hesitance about like poking organized religion any more any more than the beating its already taking, was that piece about, what does this play say 20 years later . I mean, 20 years later, we were in the thick of the Catholic Church scandal. But i think theres elements in this play now. How deeply polarized we are. Sort of lost our capacity for nuance and complexity and things. In the rush to win, people have lost the notion of progress. And youve got this kind of, you know, state your position, i think, that for me feels a little bit like its a result of social media. You know, these algorithms that sort of divide us and categorize it for the purposes of marketing. Make you take a stand. Im red, im blue, im israel, im gaza, im russia, im ukraine, im gay, its all that stuff. And i think john really addresses that in this play. It sort of, for me, goes beyond the Catholic Church. Seth you also the play never answers the question of guilt or innocence. But im wondering as an actor, in your head, dont tell me the answer, do you did you have to decide whether he was guilty or innocent . Yes. Seth so you made a decision yes. Seth because i guess it would be impossible to act the part without knowing. Well, i think thats part of you know, seeing the play different 20 years later. For me, its you know, i im not going to be able to hide this, right . Scott said to me when i when i thought about doing the role, i never thought he did it. And if he didnt do it, what sort of issues does that bring up . In our rush to judgment . In our desire to sort of take each other down . Those are the elements of the play that i think speak to this moment that were in and the polarization certainly think were feeling politically as we as we see, you know for instance, the ukraine aid bill getting held up in congress over sort of, in my opinion, what is silly politics. Seth you also do give sermons in the play. And much like what i imagine happens in sermons, at a broadway show, you have people coughing, crinkling. Yeah. Seth do you like that moment . Does it make you feel like youre actually giving a sermon . You know, cell phones shouldnt really exist in 1964. [ laughter ] seth yeah. So when one rings its sort of a challenge in terms of how you improvise your way around that. Seth yes. I guess a priest in 1964 would just think the devil was there. [ laughter ] right. Or the opposite. Seth or the opposite. Aahh [ laughter ] something divine about that sound. Which i think is a better way to go if youre avoiding guilt. Seth yeah, yeah. Keep you better in the play. Yeah, yeah. Seth ive got a lot more to ask you about. Thank you so much for being here.

You have i mean, i would be terrified to do a broadway show, but you had something very scary happen to you recently where you had to leave a show after it started . The Worst Nightmare that an actor could possibly ever experience. I was in my dressing room, and i had a terrible headache. Like a really bad headache. I thought it was maybe a fast food headache. But it felt a little stronger than that. And im walking down the stairs and im thinking, this is not normal, i dont feel okay. I saw amy ryan backstage. And you know how actors say things to each other, like you know, break a leg good show. And i suddenly noticed that i didnt remember what i was supposed to say to her. And id said it at least 30 times by that point. So something was wrong. I also couldnt remember her name. So i knew something was was really wrong. Seth thats the second red flag, yeah. [ laughter ] yeah. So i kind of weaseled my way out of that interaction. You know, ha ha keep going. [ laughter ] in my priest outfit. And i get over to stage left where i make my entrance from, and i see the play in the corner, theres a light on it, and i dont recognize it at all. And i look up to the stage manager and i go, somethings not right. And he looks down and he calls places. And so i go on, and i do about the first six or seven lines. Dont worry, this story has a happy ending. [ laughter ] i do the first six or seven lines of the play sort of automatically. And i realize im not connected, so i decide, let me try to get connected again. And the minute i do that, it all vanishes. The play is gone from my head. Im looking out into a dark audience. I know im in a play, but i dont know what play im in. I look down at my clothes, and i realize im a priest. [ laughter ] which is helpful, but not giving me any lines. [ laughter ] i come offstage. They all are very worried about me. I can see. They rush me to my dressing room. The next thing i remember is hearing my understudy doing the lines from the play and thinking it sounds really good, i wish i knew what it was. [ laughter ] my doctor shows up, whos a friend, and hes terrified expression. My wife shows up, she looks terrified. I think, okay, ive had a stroke, this is it. I go get the mri. No brain bleed, perfectly fine. Might i add, a fairly goodlooking brain. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] you showed me a picture backstage, its good, yeah. Its good. Like a 12yearold girl. Anyways. I i find out ultimately from a neurologist, i have something called i had something called transient global amnesia. And apparently, my wife looked it up online, its brought on by migraines and rigorous coitus. [ laughter ] my wife then asks me what coitus is. [ laughter ] well, you know. And i i said, honey, thats sex. So its like rough sex. And she said, oh, you were having rough sex . And i said, no, no, i had a headache. [ laughter ] and that thats what happened to me. Now, the guy said, youll never have this again, and it will be gone in eight to 24 hours. Which i didnt believe. And, you know, a typical sort of jewish hypochondriac person, im convinced that ive had a stroke and they just didnt find it. I go home, im having paranoid episodes about our guests who are in the house. I just figure, i better go to sleep, because because im going to Say Something dumb. I go to sleep. I wake up. I remember the whole play. I call the theater and i say, im coming up to do the matinee. And theyre like, no, no, your doctor said you have to stay away till tuesday. No, i need to know that i can do the play. And i never had another problem with it. I called i was embarrassed. I thought everyone would think i was lying and taking a night off from the theater. I have this obscure thing. I call a friend jonathan, and i say, i had this thing, its called transient global amnesia. Ans without missing a beat he said, oh, yeah, my friend nathan had that. He was having sex with his wife in the shower and lost two days. [ laughter ] so apparently, it really is a thing. And i guess seth im so sad for you it got it via headache. I know. [ laughter ] when the other option is to to literally have your brains [ bleep ] out. I had to get it from a migraine. Seth i bet if i had amnesia from a migraine, my wife would see it as an opportunity to be like, no, we had sex. [ laughter ] what i what i thought we could do then is probably look up all the people who had it and decide whether it was a migraine or a headache. [ laughter ] a migraine or rough sex. But that would probably take too long. Seth i thought it was a nice parallel when you mentioned ukraine. Youve made multiple trips. You have ukrainian ancestry and roots. Youve spent time with zelenskyy. I mean, how do you feel . I mean, you mentioned the fact that the gop is holding up an aid bill and tying it to other demands and refusing to vote on it independently. It must really take you aback that people are citing what seems a very clear issue. Its striking to me. You know, when i think about i wrote something for time recently. And i we had an opportunity to write something, i thought, i have to write something for blue check. And i was thinking, how do i really feel about this . You know, a lot of people think its because im of ukrainian ancestry, and i dont feel that way at all. I feel its because im american, i care about this. And i think about my grandparents and the generation of americans who fought in world war ii and established our what we now know as our democracy. And the reason why were the number one destination for anyone in the world who wants to improve their station in life is because of the freedoms and liberties that come out of our democracy. And ukraine is on the front line of a global war, in my opinion, on democracy. And i think, not to not to suggest that in any way america is the policing the world for democracy. But that at the very least, we should be in solidarity with them and that we should be supporting them. So many of us have come from these countries that were struggling under these autocrats and dictators. And it just feels very close to home for me. Not really as a ukrainian, but as an american. I feel like weve lost those those values a little bit, or weve forgotten what those values are, what it is to be american. Seth thats a really important message.
