[ light laughter ] man, woman, im good, lets do it. [ light laughter ] President Trump and his wife melania this weekend attended the wedding of treasury secretary steve mnuchin. When asked if she cries at weddings melania said, just the one. [ laughter and applause ] after the white house announced cameras would be banned from press briefings, cnn recently sent a sketch artist to document it. And apparently, it was pretty wild. [ laughter and applause ] i havent spoken to the president about that. [ light laughter ] a new study found that people who have sex more frequently, experience improved brain function as they got older. So who knows, maybe he will solve climate change. [ laughter and applause ] going to be a very smart old man. Senate republicans released revisions of their Health Care Bill today in hopes of gaining support for a vote later this week. And i think some of the changes are good ones. [ light laughter ] i dont know, i thought it was better, i guess you guys disagree. In an interview today, ivanka trump graded her fathers presidency as an a. Though if you want an honest assessment maybe ask someone whos not in the will. Like eric. [ laughter and applause ] where is eric . And the same interview, ivanka trump says that she tries to stay out of politics. What are you talking about . [ light laughter ] you have a job in the white house. Thats like me saying, i dont like to get involved in television. The ceo of Internet Radio site pandora, recently announced that hes stepping down but hes happy to recommend a bunch of ceos who are just like him. [ light laughter ] hes stepping down because so few people use pandora, that that joke bombed. Let me tell you, eight years ago . Muah. Oh, i guess you guys want a spotify joke. [ light laughter ] two florida men two florida men reportedly abandoned their car last week after crashing into a doritos truck, which sounds like the perfect case for chips.

[ cheers and applause ] so happy to have him back on the show. Shes one of the stars of amcs preacher, ruth negga joins us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] and we will have music from james blunt. [ cheers and applause ] so, you are here, on a wonderful evening. Before we get to all of that, President Trump keeps changing his story on the firing of former fbi director james comey. Meanwhile, we found out today that the gop Health Care Bill could leave 22 Million People uninsured which may be why republicans are trying a new tactic to defend it, lying. [ light laughter ] for more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth as you may recall, last month President Trump threatened former fbi director james comey on twitter, by implying he had secret tapes of their conversations. And after more than 40 days of refusing to confirm or deny whether he did, in fact, possess such tapes, trump was finally forced to admit that, i did not make and do not have any such recordings. I love when you can tell trumps lawyers wrote something for him. No hash tags, no exclamation points, no all caps. Id love to be a fly on the wall for that negotiation. You need to write, i did not make and do not have any such recordings. Thats great, i love that but how about [ laughter and applause ] and just bear with me i did not make and i do not have any such recordings, thanks to mexico, who destroyed them. I do that in all caps and then makeamericagreatagain. I think this is seeing a reasonable tweet from trump is like seeing king kong in chains. You gotta let the ape, ape, everybody. [ light laughter ] now the saga of the comey tapes continued on friday when trump did an interview with state media news outlet fox news. Trump was asked in the gentlest terms possible, why he would imply that he had secretly recorded the fbi director, if he hadnt. And he gave the most rambling nonsensical answer i think ive ever seen on tv. Big news today. You said you didnt tape james comey. Do you want to explain that . Why did you want him to believe that you possibly did that . Well, i didnt tape him. You never know whats happening when you see that the Obama Administration and perhaps longer than that was doing all of this unmasking, and surveillance. You read all about it and ive been reading about it for the last couple of months, about the seriousness of the and horrible situation with surveillance all over the place. And youve been hearing the word unmasking, a word you probably never heard before, so you never know whats out there. But i didnt tape. And, i dont have any tape, and i didnt tape. [ light laughter ] seth what are you talking about . [ light laughter ] you sound like someone dumped a box of magnetic poetry into a blender. [ laughter and applause ] credit to melania for not just saying ugh [ light laughter ] now, if you heard someone rambling like that on the subway youd switch cars. But, apparently if fox and friends host, Ainsley Earhardt heard it, shed sit next to the rambler, and say tell me more about how the government is genetically engineering rats to read our minds. [ light laughter ] because, as a followup to trumps nonsense answer, very she helpfully suggested that, lying about the tapes was actually an effective way to make sure comey told the truth. And trump seemed to agree. It was a smart way to make sure he stayed honest in his hearings. Well, it wasnt it wasnt very stupid, i can tell you that. [ light laughter ] seth thats fox news. Always asking the tough questions. Mr. President , is it difficult to play golf with your enormous penis in the way . [ light laughter ] but as bizarre as the tape story is, by far the most urgent thing happening in d. C. Right now is the possibly imminent passage of the republican Health Care Bill in the senate. The bill cuts taxes on the wealthy and pays for it by gutting medicaid which provides health care to low income people, seniors and the disabled. In fact, when you look at the winners and losers in this bill it is almost comically villainous. Trumpcare kills a handful of obamacare taxes that specifically targeted the rich. So, its an unusual unusually generous payback for the wealthy. The Health Industry groups are also a winner. Theyre going to see some benefits from trumpcare that eliminates obamacare taxes on insurers, medical device companies, and brandname drugs. Now, let me get you to some of the losers. The poor and the old continue to suffer under this deal. Those relying on medicaid will also be hit very hard with larger cuts than the house bill had to medicaid. Insurers will also be able to charge older people up to five times more than they charge younger customers for the same Health Insurance. Seth the only way this bill could be more cartoonishly evil , is if it mandated tying damsels in distress to railroad tracks. [ light laughter ] the bill is essentially a giant tax cut for the wealthy paid for with medicaid cuts. And not only that, today the Congressional Budget Office issued a stunning new report, projecting that Senate RepublicanHealth Care Bill would leave 22 million more americans uninsured over a decade. And, i think im starting to see a pattern here, because if you recall the first version of the house Health Care Bill was projected to leave 24 million uninsured. The second version of the house bill left 23 million uninsured. And now this senate bill leaves 22 million uninsured. So basically republicans are just 21 drafts away from breaking even. [ light laughter ] republicans take more missed shots than shaquille oneal. [ light laughter ] now all of that, may be why trump himself privately called the bill mean in a closed door meeting with republican senators, despite praising the bill in public. Until now, the white house has not publicly confirmed that trump ever called the bill mean. And gop leaders have insisted that trumps comments must have been misinterpreted. So naturally, when former president obama called the bill mean in a Statement Last week trump could not help but take credit himself. He said, your bill, mr. President , not a Health Care Bill, its a massive transfer of wealth, thats going to harm americans, its mean. What do you say to the former president well, he actually used my term, mean, that was my term. [ light laughter ] seth you dummy. Youre not supposed to admit to that. Obama trolled you. Youre so easy. [ laughter and applause ] if obama came out tomorrow [ cheers and applause ] if obama came out tomorrow and said, you know, we should kill poor people and use their blood to lubricate our golf carts. Youd be screaming, my idea [ light laughter ] i thought of that first, he totally stole that from me, that was my idea. Of course the bill is mean. In fact its worse than mean, its savage. And that may be why republicans didnt even want people to see the bill, until a week before the vote. Remember, they only unveiled the bill on thursday after over a month of secret closed door meetings. And now, theyre rushing to try and pass it this week. In fact trump even seemed to accidentally admit on sunday that the process has been incredibly secretive when he responded to criticism of the bill from Democratic Senate leader chuck schumer. I saw schumer criticizing the bill a couple of weeks go, and he had no idea what was in the bill. He was saying this bill was this, that, he had no idea. In fact, the republican senators didnt know because it wasnt released. Very few people knew. Seth yeah, thats the problem. [ light laughter ] this bill is like a slip knot tramp stamp. You definitely want to hide it, and the people who have seen it are terrible people. Of course [ laughter and applause ] the republicans, secrecy flies in the face of everything they pretended to care about back when obamacare was in 20092010. Like, thencongressman mike pence who lashed out repeatedly at what he claimed was a rushed process to pass obamacare. Republicans have also complained that, democrats refused to participate in their attempts to repeal obamacare. Pence tweeted over the weekend, democrats have summed up their agenda in one word, resist. Our duty is to respond with action and results. And trump said this on fox and friends on sunday. Their theme is resist. Ive never heard of anything like this. Resist. I mean, thats a terrible word. Think of it. Their theme is resist. Their theme should be, lets get together, envelop. Seth huh . [ light laughter ] you think their theme should be lets get together, envelop . And youre supposed to be the marketing genius . [ light laughter ] what would your slogan for nike be . Run, run, go, go, person in sports [ laughter and applause ] but pence and trump are right. Resist is a terrible word. I mean, even if you disagree how can a member of congress possibly get up there and say, were going to resist this Health Care Bill . This administration and this congress are choosing to ignore the will of the majority of the American People. The American People want us to scrap the bill, start over with a clean sheet of paper. Republicans stand ready to resist any effort at obamacare 2. 0. Seth oh my god. Mike pence used to be a member of the resistance [ light laughter ] like, luke lifting up darth vaders helmet and finding out it was mike pence the whole time. [ light laughter ] so despite their complaints about the much more transparent obamacare process, republicans have gone to extreme lengths to hide their own Health Care Bill. But hiding the bill has also made it difficult to defend. Take for example louisiana senator bill cassidy who on went on fox and friends on friday to promote the bill. He was asked a simple question. Does this bill make insurance cheaper and better for americans . And his answer was not encouraging. Ultimately its got to be cheaper and its got to be better. Is it . So, it is cheaper, and it depends on how you define better. Seth oh, well, i define better the same way the dictionary does. But are you using the dictionary dictionary . Or the dick dictionary . [ laughter and applause ] and if it sounds to you like republicans are having trouble defending whats in the bill, that may be why others have opted for outright lying about whats in it. Multiple republicans took to the sunday shows to flatly and brazenly lie about the cuts to medicaid and the millions of people who would lose insurance. I have to strongly disagree with the characterization that were somehow ending the medicaid expansion. In fact, quite the contrary. The senate bill will codify and make permanent the medicaid expansion. The system, the plan that we have, would put in place, would not allow individuals to fall through the cracks. We would not pull the rug out from anybody, we would not have individuals lose coverage. This bill has more medicaid cuts than the house bill, why is the president going back on his promise . These are not cuts to medicaid, george. That simply is not factual, if you have more than 800 billion in cuts. It also raises you keep calling them cuts, we dont see them as cuts. Nobody spins like kellyanne conway. [ light laughter ] we dont see them as cuts, we see them as reverse increases and, were going to give so many reverse increases to medicaid that americans will have more none of it than theyve ever had before. [ light laughter ] look, no one argues that obamacare is perfect and it does need fixes. But this bill is nothing more than a giveaway to wealthy people, funded by taking Health Insurance away from the poor. Theres a lot that needs to be improved about obamacare, but theres at least one thing you can say about obamacare that you cannot say about this bill. It wasnt very stupid. [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with more late night, everybody [ cheers and applause ] its not easy to brew a beer this easy to drink. Bud light is tasted by brewmasters every step of the process. Its a tough job, but for you and your friends, its worth it. We dont just brew beer. We brew beer for friends. We dont just brew beer.

And hearing things always get me to thinking, i am getting older. And sometimes i look around and i dont even recognize the world i live in anymore. Things are changing. Every day. And not always for the better. And you know, sometimes you need to take a moment and talk about how things, well were just a bit more simple back in my day. [ cheers and applause ] back in my day, amazon wasnt buying whole foods, hogwash. Back then if you wanted to buy groceries from the same place you bought your books you had to survive on godiva chocolates from the barnes noble checkout counter. [ light laughter ] back in my day, jayz and beyonce didnt have newborn twins, no, sir. Back then the only crybaby they had to worry about was kanye. [ laughter and applause ] back in my day, we didnt have no fidget spinners. If someone said they were going to fidget their spinner, it meant they were going to go masturbate. [ laughter ] and so you gave em a salute and you wished them the best of luck. [ dog barking ] you have not seen me masturbate, rusty [ dog barking ] name one time. [ dog barking excessively ] i said one time [ laughter ] stop being such a showoff. Do you have a favorite . [ dog barking twice ] [ light laughter ] back in my day we didnt have robots in our home like siri and alexa to ask questions to, no, sir. Back then you just asked your questions out loud to no one in particular. And then every once in a while someone would answer and thats how youd find out it was time to adjust your antipsychotic medication. [ light laughter ] back in my day we didnt have so called gay pride parades, no, sir. We just called them parades because even a straight parade is pretty gay. [ laughter ] and we celebrated that. [ cheers and applause ] back in my day we didnt have rophims, rompers for men. All we had was the onesie, the long underwear that covered your body in red flannel. The only problem they had was the flap was on the back and not the front which made it so much harder to fidget your spinner. [ laughter and applause ] how you doing down there, rusty . [ dog barking ] back in my day the president didnt fire off an angry tweet every time he was upset. Nope. Back in my day the president would keep all his stress locked up inside while maintaining a cool, calm, and collected exterior, then go home at night and smoke a whole pack of cigarettes behind michelles back. Thats how a real man handles stress. [ cheers and applause ] back in my day tom cruise wasnt in a movie called the mummy. Brendan fraser was in a movie called the mummy. [ cheers ] but we dont remember Brendan Fraser for that. We remember him from this. [ laughter ] true story, ive never been that happy in my whole life. Well, im sorry about that but sometimes this grumpy gramps got to get his gripe on. This has been back in my day. Well be right back for more late night.

You remember that night at irving plaza . Seth that went too fast. Thats 15 years ago. Seth yeah, its too fast. You know our first guest tonight from his work in films such as neighbors, 21 jump street, and now you see me. He stars in the comedy the little hours which opens in select theaters friday, lets take a look. I have slept with another mans wife. Hes a noble man, and he is my master. Well, thats adultery. I know. Its a very serious sin. Sometimes she would place her mouth around my sex. Oh, thats sodomy. Thats also a serious sin. Is it also considered sodomy if i place my mouth on her sex while she simultaneously had her mouth around mine . [ light laughter ] why would you do that . Because because she liked it. [ laughter ] seth please welcome back to the show dave franco, everybody [ cheers and applause ] seth how are you . Im good, man, how are you doing . Seth good, im so happy youre back. This is such a cool idea for a movie, but this movie, and you wouldnt get it from watching it you would get it from i guess the costumes, but this is based on a 14th century piece of writing. Yes. Yeah, its an unconventional movie, but its based on something that was created. So basically its based on a book called the decameron which was written in the 14th century, and at that time these young women, they became nuns not necessarily because they had strong religious beliefs, but its just what you did, or you were forced into it, and so there were all these women in these convents who had desires to have sex and to party, but they kind of had to suppress everything. So, our movie i play a guy who gets in trouble, hes on the run, he comes across this convent, and he convinces them to let him hide out, and slowly over time he starts hooking up with the nuns, and that is the movie i am currently promoting. [ laughter ] seth john c. Reilly [ applause ] yeah, this is a what this is what this is a movie for our times. Yeah. Seth john c. Reilly in that clip, and tons of funny people in this movie, and one of the things, i heard there was not a script for this film. Yeah. Yes. So there was literally no script. It was all based on an 18page outline. So it was completely improvised which is terrifying, but like you said, its like theres so many great comedic actors. Its john c. Reilly, molly shannon, aubrey plaza, fred armisen, the list never stops. They make my job easy. They make me look a lot funnier than i naturally am. So thats the secret that ive been using. Its just continuing to surround myself with people who are better than me. [ light laughter ] seth and did you i, by the way, i play the same game. Yeah. [ laughter ] seth did you then have to learn how to speak in 14th century speak, or did the director kind of let you say, like hey, lets keep it modern . I drew the line at that, i was not going to improvise in flowery oldtimey language, but no, it was still like not the easiest thing in the world. Seth your wife is in this film. Congratulations, the very funny, the very talented allison brie is in this film. Yes. [ cheers and applause ] seth and she is one of these nuns who has these desires. Correct. Seth but she is not one of the nuns that your character shares desires with. Sometimes i share desires with her, but a lot of the time not, and so a lot of people have been asking, like, is that weird to have your wife onset while youre sharing desires with these other women . And the true answer is, no, its totally fine. It is what it is, weve both been doing this long enough to know that this is part of the job. Its a weird part of the job, but whatever. So that being said, there was a threesome scene that im in that she is not in. Seth now thats even harder. It sparked a little more conversation between us than usual. Seth well especially when its like, i have a sex scene, like, with who . Well, its more than one person. Yeah, yeah, so she decided she didnt want to be onset that day. So i did the scene, and it was fine, and i went back to the hotel. She asked how it was. I said it was totally cool, and we left it at that, and cut to a year later. Were watching the movie for the first time together, and the threesome scene starts, and there was a moment that i had almost forgotten about which involves the two girls, aubrey plaza and jemima kirke sniffing my penis, and seth now you are i always forget stuff like that. [ laughter ] yeah, yeah. So i kind of looked at her out of the corner of my eye wondering what could possibly be going through her head, and the scene ended, and there was silence, and then she turned to me, and she said, that was really sexy. Seth all right. [ laughter ] thats the moment i knew i had the coolest wife on planet earth. Yeah. [ cheers and applause ] seth now obviously i do not know your wife as well as you do, ive been happy to have her on this show. This is a moment that i thought your wife was the coolest person on earth. Shes in a new show about the glorious ladies of wrestling. Glow, yes. Seth glow. Check it out, its on netflix. Seth on netflix, and so she did get in like wrestling shape. Yeah, no, she i mean, she was in the best shape of her life. She wanted to be able to actually do all the wrestling moves, and while she was filming that, i was filming a movie where i was a heroin addict, and so i lost 20 pounds in two months. I think we might have a picture of where i was at. Seth i got a photo, and this is the real deal. Not great. Not great. Seth yeah. So i didnt mess with her at the time. Seth yeah. Couldnt really stand up for myself, but it was messed up. Like ive never been the type of actor who comes home at the end of the day, and is like i cant get rid of the part, but when you lose that much weight, it affects you. So, you know, i was fullon depressed. So i remember at one point though alison, she called me out, shes like youre not yourself, youre not fun to be around. Im like, im [ bleep ] starving, what do you want from me . [ laughter ] and im like, im sorry, dont hit me, dont hit me. Seth well, you look normal again. I feel normal, thank you, yeah. Seth congratulations on the movie. Its always so great. Congratulations on the wedding as well. Thank you so much. Seth so, you guys are two wonderful people, and im so happy you ended up together. And well see you next time. Thanks, man. Seth dave franco, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] the little hours opens in select theatres friday.

End [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back, everybody. Our next guest is a very talented actress, who was nominated for a golden globe and an Academy Award for her, role in the critically acclaimed film loving. She stars in the Second Season of the hit amc series preacher with new episodes airing on monday nights, lets take a look. Hey, this guy of yours were going to go see, whats his deal . Mikes an old family friend. Were looking for god seems like a good place to start. So hes like a god detective, right . Like some kind of spirit tracker, Bounty Hunter kind of family friend . Hes a religious scholar. He just reads a lot. Huh. Well, that sounds like a fun place to start. Seth please welcome to the show ruth negga, everybody [ cheers and applause ] seth im so delighted to have you here. Im very happy to be here. Seth im a huge fan of yours, but i was also a huge fan of preacher the comic book, which is a bit i think to say a fairly insane comic. A lot of people bonkers, yeah. Seth its bonkers, and i think many people thought it was it would have been very hard to adapt. Were you familiar with it as a source material before you took on this part . It was in my orbit purely because, like, i grew up with a lot of boys who were into comic books. So it was kind of always around. I wasnt but id never read it before, and then after i got the audition i dipped into them, which is to say i read all of them in about twelve hours. Seth yeah. And i thought, this is perverse. Seth it is really perverse. And really weird. And theyre not going to have its not going to get past the First Episode, but i think seth and evan, who produced it i think they know them. Seth seth rogen, yeah. Yeah. [ cheers and applause ] you know, small time producer. Seth yeah, little guy. They were big fans of it too, and i think they wanted to sort of they were really passionate about getting it made, and i think they knew if they wanted to like bring it to the small screen properly theyd have to sort of adapt it a bit. Because i dont think you could do it frame for frame because it would never get past any censor. Seth but there are still things that i mean, its not completely tame. In the First Episode this season a tongue is ripped out. You siphon gas using another persons intestine. Would it be is that worse . That i didnt use yeah. Seth yeah. Use my own seth yeah, no you cant use your own. And again, once a persons gone i feel theyd want you to use their intestine. He wasnt caught carrying a card that said i could use his intestine. Seth no, yeah thats right, theres a long scene where you look to make sure hes a donor before. [ laughter ] are you whats it like on set when youre doing those things . Does it feel grotesque, or does it feel silly because obviously you, being on set you see the props, and you see the makeup more than we can watching the show. Oh, its far easier to do it than it is to see it. I mean i ive not watched half of the gore in preacher because its so real, and its so brilliantly done, props to, you know, our props, and special effects [ laughter ] so bad. So bad. Seth thats how they came up with they started calling the props department. Theatre property, yeah. Seth everybody came up they used to be called objects. Yeah. Not true. [ laughter ] seth and then someone said, hey props to you, and they were like, oh, thats better. Yeah. Awful word usage, ruth. Come one. Seth no, its fine. Use your words. No, i just i just think when youre doing it, you know, its kind of its actually quite tasty, the blood is quite tasty. Seth oh really, well you must if youre low on sugar, and you havent had a seth you havent had a snickers. You have a little fake blood. Yeah, you just have a little lick round the mouth, and youre grand. Seth did you but you have a little bit of history of this. I heard that you did a show in london with helen mirren where you were covered in blood. Would even do the curtain call in blood . Is that true . Yeah, at the end, yeah. Seth and so is this should we take this as a sort of a trend in your work, or is it just you sort of every now and then a bloody one comes your way . Oh, gosh, it sounds terrible, but i just think that if youre going to do it, you should wholeheartedly enter into it. Seth yeah. And thats what i love about the greeks. I thought, i just always called for more blood, and people are like, well, its kind of unbelievable, but i dont really care what critics say. Seth right. I thought it was so dramatic. I wanted to basically steal the show from helen mirren, which is impossible. Seth yeah. No matter how much ketchup you squirt on your dress. Seth thats true, yeah. She gets by with very little. She has to do a little bit of mustard and she already is better than you, yeah. Shes fine. Seth so ive heard this, and i want to check that its true, that if you were not an actor that you would like to be a librarian . Is that true . Is that your dream job . Well, i think when i was a kid yeah, i want to do it, i loved libraries. I loved the idea because i wasnt a fan of school, but i love seth usually people who dont like school dont in turn like libraries. [ light laughter ] well, i have to i have to defer because i think that libraries, you of your own volition get to choose seth sure, that makes sense. Your books and what you want to learn. I thought that was extraordinary. Just to have this sort of antiauthoritarian thing, i didnt like being told what to read. The idea of libraries is amazing, because you could just choose. You know these check out your book, and they got to use stamps. I just thought, i want to stamp things, and tell people to be quiet. [ laughter ] you know, to hush people or shush. You can hush, you can shush, you can you know, whatever you however seth theres a wealth of options, yeah. Or just shut up, and now i know theres a whole lot more to libraries, and i still value them hugely mostly because theyre being shut down, and i mean, theyre being decimated. Seth it is really sad, because it was a place i liked as well, and they were its true what you said, i hadnt really thought about this thing that you got to make your own choices, which as a kid there arent many places where you get to. No, but you got to. Seth but they still stamp they still have the stamp. I doubt they still stamp. Seth oh, youre right. There probably isnt a stamp anymore. Thats heartbreaking. Doing the whole computer thing, and it was the first time you got to use a computer or well, i got to use a computer was you got you little ticket for your fifteen minutes on a big like thing, and it seth what what did you do the first time you had access to a computer . I think i i dont know. Probably i tried i have no idea. Probably did a cv or something. Do you remember when you had to write out your cv and you had no talents, and you just seth oh yeah. Nothings worth it when like, special skills, and you just started making things up . Yeah, you have to just like rob things. Seth like, i can kind of sound french, but without using french words . Yeah. I have a really great french accent, and i can horse ride. I can seth karate. All those awful like i can do ballet. I did do ballet. I think i got asked to leave. Seth you got asked to leave ballet . I think that is one of my i think i hope, i made it up. Seth i think if you left yeah it sounds like that happened, yeah. I think i got asked to leave ballet. Theres this great picture that i have, and its like all these like young slim things doing lovely like pointy foot forwards, and theres me like burst lovely brown thing bursting out of my ballet thing going seth and theres someone in the back of photo trying to call you over. Going, whats she doing . Seth well, im glad acting worked out. Im glad we have libraries as a backup. Hopefully theyll stay open. Well see. Seth and its wonderful to have you here. Im such a fan.
