[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] watch till the end. Politico, yesterday, published a previously withheld transcript of an interview between President Trump and the wall street journal in which trump referred to his soninlaw and Senior AdvisorJared Kushner as a good boy. A good boy . [ laughter ] hes 36 when a woman turns 36 you consider that grounds for divorce. [ laughter ] according to axios, President Trump has been trying to impress his new white house chief of staff john kelly by acting sharper in meetings and rattling off stats. So far, none have been right, but bless him, hes trying. Dogs are boys and cats are girls. Dancing causes brain damage. The capital of florida is maralago. Are you hearing this, john . [ laughter and applause ] krispy kreme announced it will release a limited edition reeses doughnut with reeses Peanut Butter cream filling, dipped in chocolate icing, and topped with a chocolate and Peanut Butter drizzle. Wow it used to be only prisoners got to choose their last meal. [ laughter ] there was a story in vanity fair yesterday that claims the queen of england has four alcoholic beverages every day. Our writers are pretty delighted by that, so heres one joke for each drink. Number one, according to vanity fair, the queen of england has four alcoholic beverages every day. And alcohol takes a toll on you. Shes only 38yearsold. [ laughter ] according to vanity fair, the queen of england has four alcoholic beverages every day. Well, that explains the hat.

Be a good queen. A pair of new England Patriots players were kicked out of practice this week after getting into a fight during drills. Wow even the new England Patriots hate the new England Patriots. [ cheers and applause ] you know, we dont always have time enough to cover all of the recent news. So here with a recap is one of our writers amber ruffin in a segment we call amber says what. [ cheers and applause ] you guys, things have been crazy first of all, no one works in the white house anymore. [ light laughter ] sean spicer was out. And i was, like, whaaat . Then Reince Priebus was out, and i was, like, whaaat . Then to top it all off scaramucci was out after just ten days and i was, like, whaaat . But then i found out steve bannon was still working there, and i was, like, what . [ laughter and applause ] and then i found out the boy scouts invited trump to give a speech, and i was, like, hahaha, why . [ light laughter ] then he started talking to these children about a guy getting laid on a yacht, and i was, like, haha, what . Then he had those kids booing obama, and i was, like, haha, what . [ laughter ] then the people who made game of thrones announced theyre working on another show called confederate, that imagines if the south had successfully seceded from the union and slavery had never been abolished. I heard that and was, like, what the [ bleep ] . [ cheers and applause ] but then amazon announced that they were also working on a show called black america that imagines if newly freed slaves had formed their own nation. And i was, like, whaaat a new and interesting idea. [ laughter ] then the best thing in the world happened. During a hearing of the House Financial Services committee, representative Maxine Waters asked treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin why she hadnt why he hadnt responded to a letter she had sent him. Watch. Everything that you thank you very much for that. I dont want to take my time ill also appreciate the opportunity im reclaiming my time. Several times reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. The time belongs to the gentle lady from california. With the house reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. Tertiary reclaiming my time. Okay. Reclaiming my time. Mr. Chairman, i thought when you read the rules you acknowledged that i shouldnt be interrupted, and that i would have reclaiming my time. What he failed to tell you was when you are on my time i can reclaim it. [ laughter ] oh [ cheers and applause ] i saw that and i was, like, what better way to shut a fool up. Then, they voted against the repeal of obamacare, and i was, like, whatwhat . Then everyone else was, like, john mccain voted no, he saved us. And i was, like, what about Susan Collins and lisa murkowski, [ cheers and applause ] and yesterday i read that the Justice Department is investigating affirmative action in College Admissions and i was, like, good, we need more affirmative action. But then i found out that the Trump Administration is going to use resources allocated for civil rights to investigate colleges for discriminating against white people. Then i said what so fast it broke the sound barrier. It was like this. What . [ laughter ] that worked well. [ applause ] but hey, im all for white people getting an education. Then there wont be so many people voting for trump. This has been amber says what. [ cheers and applause ] seth ladies and gentlemen, give it up for amber ruffin. Reclaiming my time reclaiming my time. [ laughter ] reclaiming my time. Amber ruffin, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth we have a great show for you tonight here on late night. Hes starring with his sons in a fantastic new show on a e, the lowe files. Rob lowe is here tonight, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] he is here to chat with me about his new netflix comedy special, brad paisleys comedy rodeo as well as perform a track from his 11th studio album, love and war. My friend brad paisley is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] before we get to all of that, after a series of major staff shakeups, it seems like the white house is now in total disarray. Trump is counting on his new chief of staff general john kelly to restore order, but new revelations about the russia scandal may make that more difficult. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth in just a week and a half weve seen the ouster of former White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer and former white house chief of staff Reince Priebus as well as former communications director, and future casino greeter, anthony scaramucci. Welcome, welcome, welcome to scaramagio. Have a wonderful night. May you be very lucky. Hey, try the prime rib. You look fantastic. [ laughter ] things are so crazy now that even reporters dont know what to ask. As Sarah Huckabee sanders found on monday, after the scaramucci news broke. And with that, ill take your questions. Sarah. Sarah. Sarah. Sarah. What happened, sarah . What happened . Seth it cant be good that the press corps sounds like they just woke up still drunk in a vegas hotel. Sarah, what happened . [ laughter ] the last thing i remember is there was someone named the mooch yelling at someone named the priebus . Well, what happened was scaramucci was fired when trump brought in a new chief of staff, the former secretary of Homeland Security and marine corps general john kelly. The assumption, of course, was that trump was bringing in kelly to impose discipline and put an end to the infighting that has plagued the administration. Although when he introduced him at a Cabinet Meeting on monday, trump seemed to set slightly different expectations for how kellys appointment would affect things at the white house. I predict that general kelly will go down in terms of the position of chief of staff, one of the great ever and were going to have a good time. [ laughter ] seth a good time . Im sorry, but john kelly doesnt look like a guy you bring in to have a good time. [ light laughter ] john kelly looks like a guy who introduces himself by saying, im not here to have a good time. [ laughter ] john kelly looks like his idea of a good time is reading a tom clancy novel out loud to a 14yearold bloodhound. [ light laughter ] he looks like a guy who uses good time as an insult. You and your good time buddies better hit the bricks. Of course, the chaos in the white house is not a theoretical issue. It will have immediate consequences for the governments ability to handle Major NationalSecurity Matters like, for example, north korea, which testfired another missile last week. Trump was asked about north korea after the Cabinet Meeting and his answer wasnt very reassuring. Well handle north korea. Were going to be able to handle north itll be, uh it will be handled. Seth im sorry, but im not comforted by that. Trump saying it will be handled is like Chris Christie saying i never lose my cool. [ laughter ] in fact, im not sure id trust trumps skill with diplomacy just in general. Because in a recent wall street journal article, he described his phone calls with foreign leaders and it was not confidence inspiring. Trump was talking about how our economy compares to the economies of other major countries. You know, a lot of people say they say, well, but the United States is large. And then you call places like malaysia, indonesia, and you say, you know, how many people do you have . And its Pretty Amazing how many people they have. [ laughter ] hes not a diplomat, hes a restaurant hostess. [ laughter ] how many people do you have and is your whole party here . [ laughter ] trump calls other countries and asks them how many people they have. Because why use google when you can make an international call. [ laughter ] yeah, how many people do you have, and also, while ive got you, how tall is kevin durant. [ laughter ] and yet with everything on his plate, from white house infighting to looming international crises, trump seems, as always, consumed by trivial matters. For example, he seemed annoyed when a wall street journal reporter suggested that the reaction to his highly partisan speech to the boy scouts last week was mixed. President trump did they like it . Wall street journal it seemed mix. President trump they loved it. It wasnt it was no mix. That was a standing ovation. From the time i walked out on the stage because i know. And by the way, id be the first to admit mixed. Im a guy that will tell you mixed. For example, the 1. 5 Million People at my inauguration were mixed. It was about half people who were there and half people who werent. [ cheers and applause ] i was very diverse. A very diverse crowd. When youre not lying about the boy scouts, trump of course is spending time at his golf courses and now we may know why. According to golf magazine he thinks the white house is gross. Specifically, trump was explaining to a group of club members why he spent so much time at his Bedminster Golf Club in new jersey. Chatting with some members before a recent round of golf, he explained his frequent appearances. That white house is a real dump. [ light laughter ] well, im sure the white house seems a little understated when youre used to living in mr. Ts jewelry box. [ laughter ] or maybe you just hate it, because technically it is public housing. [ light laughter ] now [ cheers and applause ] one of kellys one of kellys first jobs will be to put an end to the constant infighting and chaos inside the white house. In fact, the dysfunction in the white house is now so bad that senior Trump Officials at the highest levels of the government and this is true apparently cannot tell the difference between real emails from colleagues and pranks. So this is a real story. A prankster sent several emails to highlevel white house officials posing as other white house officials and he actually got responses. Highlevel white house officials punked by an email prankster in the united kingdom. All right, this is how easy it was to get the personal email address of the white house official in charge of cybersecurity. The prankster, and i use that word loosely here, poses as Jared Kushner and writes to the official white house account of Homeland Security adviser tom bossert. This is what he writes, tom, we are arranging a bit of a soiree towards the end of august. It would be great if you could make it. I promise food of at least comparable quality to that which we ate in iraq. Should be a great evening. So, the real tom bossert responds. Thanks, jared. With a promise like that, i cant refuse. Also and heres the kicker if you ever need it, my personal email is redacted. Seth he gave him more than the prankster was looking for. [ laughter ] the white house official in charge of cybersecurity gave his private email address to a prankster. This whole time weve been worried about putin, but it turns out the u. S. Government could be taken down by the jerky boys. [ light laughter ] even the president s family was caught up in the prank. Although some were apparently savvier than others. According to cnn, eric trump, too, was similarly hoodwinked by the prankster emailing as his older brother donald trump jr. But he soon caught on and responded, i have sent this to Law Enforcement who will handle from here. You know its bad when eric is the one who figures it out first. [ laughter ] wait a minute my brother would never email me. [ laughter and applause ] unfortunately, the Trump Administrations problems with email dont end there, because now we have new information about the very real email exchange with donald trump jr. , in which he was offered dirt on Hillary Clinton from the russian government. As you may recall, don jr. s story about those emails and the subsequent meeting changed several times. At first he claimed the meeting was primarily about adoptions, which turned out to be a lie. At the time President Trump said he knew nothing about it, but now the Washington Post is reporting that trump actually dictated his sons misleading statement on that meeting with the russian lawyer. Yesterday, the white house responded to the story by claiming trump acted not out of a desire to cover up the story, but to help his son. The statement that don jr. Issued is true. There is no inaccuracy in the statement. The president weighed in as any father would based on the limited information that he had. He certainly didnt dictate, but you know like i said, he weighed in, offered suggestion like any father would do. Seth look, i dont know what kind of father trump is, but my son is only 16monthsold, and ive already been very clear with him. If he colludes with a foreign adversary to subvert an american election, he is on his own [ laughter ] and i have [ cheers and applause ] you guys, i have suspicions. Because the other day i asked if he was ready for his bath and he said nyet. [ laughter ] [ bleep ] adorable, but it was still nyet. [ laughter ] so the white house is plagued by infighting, the russia scandal continues to grow, and our government is vulnerable to pranksters. But hey, at least theres one thing you can say about the trump white house. Were going have a good time. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] its been a good time. This has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with more late night, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] announcer for more of seths closer looks be sure to subscribe to late night on youtube.

Our first guest is an emmy and goldenglobe awardwinning actor you know from films like the outsiders and waynes world, and shows such as the west wing and parks and recreation. His new series, the lowe files, airs wednesday nights on a e. Lets take a look about. So, the oculus converts electromagnetic frequencies into words from its database. This hallway sucks. Hi. Hi. Hi, isnt this where the kitchen is in. Yeah. Dessert. Down there. We get to the kitchen . And the voice says, pie. Look, for the record, i dont know about any of this stuff. Im just reporting whats going on. Okay . Decide for yourselves. Seth please welcome to the show, rob lowe, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth how are you, rob. Good man. Its good to be here. Seth im so happy to have you. This is your first time on the show. I know, i cant believe its taken me this long. Seth we did a big parks and recreation reunion show. You were so great. Seth hosted a big chat for the emmys or whatever it was. Seth yeah. It was the best. You were so funny. And we had such a good time. Seth and this but this is very exciting. As much of a fan as i was of your work on the west wing and parks and recreation, this is a show where you are going out with your two sons. Yep. My two boys. And you are investigating paranormal its like if you took scooby doo and Anthony Bourdain parts unknown. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] and the xfiles and put them in the blender. Seth there you go. You get the lowe files. Seth i know from scooby doo, that you have an incredible shaggy impression. Zoinks . [ laughter ] seth yeah there you go. [ applause ] i just didnt know him from scooby doo. I remember him from snl. You did it. You were on seth i wasnt there then, but i remember watching at home, being like, man, on top of everything else, rob lowe has a shaggy impression. Yes. You know, i mean we all have our talents. Seth yeah. Its you know, when i was a kid, i loved all these spooky campfire stories of bigfoot and all that. And i never knew whether they were true or not and frankly didnt even care. Seth yeah. I just thought they were cool. And so when i had kids of my own, i raised them with, you know, that kind of lore. And now, really, its just a chance to have an excuse to hang out with my boys. Seth is now is having a tv show the only way to get kids that age to hang out with you . Yes. Only way. Only way. [ laughter ] seth really . So like, cause what are they . Well thank god you have yours. Seth yeah, thats true. Cause my 1yearold is already like, what time is it on . Is it network . [ laughter ] so wait, are you how old are your kids . Daddy, why dont you work for netflix. [ laughter ] seth it seems like the good shows are on netflix, dad. I dont know. I think networks trending down, dad. [ laughter ] seth so now, you, is it safe to say a believer or skeptic, youre more a believer . The ad campaign for the show comes from my quote, which is, its more fun to believe. Seth oh, interesting. You know cause i mean, look. I dont want to live in a world where bigfoot doesnt exist. Seth okay. I mean, you know, and having been on these adventures, which are just fun great family adventures. Theres certain things im more inclined to believe in now than i was before we started. Seth now did you raise believers . Are both your sons believers. No, my son, john owen, whos my youngest, is an absolute cynic. Seth okay. And thinks that my oldest son, matthew and i are idiots, because were watching the 11th season of finding bigfoot. Seth yeah, right. [ laughter and applause ] i love that show. And hes like, dad, if they found bigfoot, dont you think it would be on the news . Like, shh, be quiet, be quiet. Seth thats an excellent point. Yeah, well. Seth i will say, i think im a little bit more in the skeptic camp. Now but we saw a clip. That was a haunted school. Thats supposedly the most haunted building in the United States. Its a closed down boys reformatory where they used to imprison kids as young as eight. Seth where is it . Ione, california. Its been closed for over 100 years. Seth gotcha. There are two confirmed murders there. That little device that you saw in there, is supposedly, can transmit into words. Now, im like, this has got to be preprogrammed or seth yeah. Okay, so assume its preprogrammed. But how does it know to say pie when we get to the kitchen. It said the name of the murdered woman when we got to the place where she was murdered. Seth uhhuh. And it seth its not can i tell you what its not doing . Its not translating ghosts. Its not translating ghosts . No, its not . [ laughter ] seth i dont know what the answer is, but its not like a ghost isnt saying something. Okay then i seth by the way, why would a ghost just say, pie. [ laughter ] because we were in the kitchen. Seth yeah, no but where they made the pies. Seth yeah, no, but if you were a ghost, and finally people showed up after 100 years. Wouldnt you do something other than just like say one word . Oh, its a lot more words than that. But let me riddle me this then, nonbeliever. Seth okay . [ light laughter ] what moved the furniture in the episode we have on camera . Seth oh, really . Yeah. Seth like, do they wiggle . Or did it like move . Did it fly across the floor . [ laughter ] cause dont oversell this and then i watch it, and its just like somebody hit a floorboard and then a couch on the other side of the room like no, no, no. Its true, i got to be careful about overselling. The thing is, nothing in the show is staged. Seth okay. Its all real. I mean, there are some episodes we go out and find absolutely nothing. Literally. And the fun was just the goof and having a good time. Seth well that, i mean again, thats whats so, i feel like interesting about this show. Is that i want to watch you and your sons strike out as much as i want to have you find bigfoot. [ light laughter ] and we do. Seth yeah, but thats great. Like, a father, especially because its your fault, like you dragged your kids somewhere. [ laughter ] i know. And my poor kids. Theyre like, theyre in college, and ones in law school. Seth yeah. They have lives. They have lives. Theyre like studying for finals. Im like, i got a report of a sasquatch. [ laughter ] im just saying. Seth its so great too, because i imagine like you grow up with rob oh by the way, oh by the way, everythings politically correct today. Youre not supposed to say sasquatch. Seth no, why . Yeah, no, the pc thing now is wood ape. [ laughter ] seth why . Who does sasquatch offend . I have no idea but you cant say it. Seth you have to say wood ape . You cant say bigfoot. Seth no, you can. Im not kidding. Not a bit. Seth really . This absolutely true. Seth is this because people with big feet are offended . Maybe its that. Seth yeah. But i think the notion is the terms sasquatch and big foot are pejorative because they sound looney. Seth oh. But wood ape is fine. Seth yeah, wood ape. If you go out looking for wood ape, youre a scientist. [ laughter ] this is what im really excited about watching this show is you have youre on instagram. And youve got a lot of likes. Youre at 14,000 likes. Youre obviously a popular guy on instagram, but your son. John seems to be the one thats busting you. He gives me a lot of my kids think im lame. Seth yeah, so here you are. Youre like, thanks to my friends thanks to my friends at tommys for a great lunch. Then your son just wrote lunch. [ light laughter ] my sons are trolling me. Seth yeah, its really great. Theyre trolling you. The grinder finally came home and rang into joel zadak. Teenlife. Teenlife . [ laughter ] that seems like a fair burn. To burn you. Yeah, i mean. I still im like look, guys, it could be worse. Im trying, you know. Seth yeah. Youre a dad whos trying. Im a dad. Seth youre a dad and look again, youve accomplished a lot in your life. But theres one thing i talked to you about. Because i know that you have you visited the white house a lot. Ive been to every white house since the west wing premiered. Seth which is exciting. So every administration from clinton to bush to obama. Seth and a very different vibe each time . Thats whats fascinating. The Clinton White house was the most welcoming, most casual, he had like his big bertha golf driver leaning up against the wall of the oval office. Seth uhhuh. And hed be like, come on in, sit at the desk, take a picture. And he was great. He was great. And the Bush White House was really fun but you couldnt even go in the oval. It had literally a velvet rope. And it was like a sanctum. You could peer in, but youre not going in. And obama, was like, felt like he was so much hustle and bustle. And i think every president brings their own kind of thing to it. Seth now, you havent been to the trump white house. But you do have a little bit of history. Is it true that donald trump once donated 50,000 to a Charity Event . I did. I was doing an event for habitat for humanity. And i was on a talk show. He called in and he donated, i think 5,000 to habitat for humanity. Seth thats great. It was nice. Yeah. Seth did you um, did anybody ever see the check . Or was it like one of those things yes, they saw the check. And you know whats amazing it who it was signed by . Vladimir putin. Seth no it was unbelievable. [ laughter ] seth as long as the houses got built. As long as the houses got built. Thanks so much for being here. Congrats on the show. Its always such a delight.

Its so great to talk to you about whats been going on. You know, youre working on portlandia, so youre all of the way across the country and then having you here is so great. I will say, sometimes when were talking, i feel like you i dont know why after all of our years of friendship, you feel its the case. You feel like you need to impress me, and i sometimes feel like youre saying things that might not be 100 true. [ light laughter ] fred i dont think so. I dont think thats the case. Seth all right. Well i overheard you saying backstage to people that, you know, its the summer. There are a lot of barbecues. That you are having a uniquely themed barbecue this weekend that youre hosting. Fred thats exactly right. Seth so what is your barbecue theme . Fred its a barbecue in the air. Which means its two helicopters i hired. [ laughter ] and so im doing one barbecue in the helicopter. Thats just me and the pilot, and im cooking. My friends are in the other helicopter. Seth okay. [ laughter ] fred okay . It sounds dangerous, but its not, because theyre of two different sizes, so as long as they dont crash. Theyre close enough to each other and theyre at different heights. So if i throw the burgers or veggie burgers, over to them, you know, they can catch it. [ light laughter ] its four of my friends. Its going to be so much fun. Were gonna shoot it. Seth shoot it with a camera . Fred were gonna shot it shoot it. Were gonna shoot it with a camera. Seth okay. And were gonna release it this december. December 1st. Seth and whats the title of that when we find it, see it . Fred its gonna be called freds helicopter barbecue, but its coming out in all major theaters. Seth oh. [ laughter ] fred yes. Seth this is a major Motion Picture . Fred its not a major Motion Picture. Were just releasing it at theaters. Seth okay. [ laughter ] thats the difference. Seth thats great. Yeah, so thats what im doing. Im giving my little barbecue. Seth okay, barbeque in the air. Thank you so much, give it up for fred armisen, everybody [ cheers and applause ] our next guest is a threetime grammy winning singersongwriter whose 11th studio album, love and war, is available now. Hes also host of netflix comdey special, brad paisleys comedy rodeo, which begins streaming august 15th. Please welcome back to the show, our good friend, brad paisley, everybody [ cheers and applause ] seth how are you . Im good. How are you . Seth good. Its so wonderful to see you again. I know youre busy. I know youre out on tour. And this is very interesting to me because the scope of exactly how far Country Music reaches. Because youre a West Virginia guy. Right. Seth you live in tennessee. But you go you actually tour in europe. You go to places. You are going to scandinavia . We were just in sweden and norway. Seth okay, gotcha. Its so much fun for me because im exotic over there. Im the definition of not exotic in america. Seth thats true. Nobody says like, oh, thats an interesting looking weird thing ive never seen before. Yeah. They show up. Theyve got the hats, theyve got chaps. I mean theyre ready. Seth do they know that nobody wears chaps over here anymore . No. Seth okay. [ light laughter ] they think theyre doing the right thing. Its fantastic though to go over there, because they just seem to love it. Theyre sort of starved for it in these countries. Seth but they also theyre not just checking this out to see what Country Musics like. They know, theyre huge fans. They know the words, they sing along . They speak way better english than my band. [ laughter ] seth yeah. Theyre really i mean, its their second language, but theyre better at it than us. Seth yeah. No, its really impressive. They know the words. Its really neat. I love going over there every now and then. Seth thats great. Well, welcome home. This is also cool. I always know youre a fan of comedy. You host the cmas with carrie underwood. You guys are great. Your songs, a lot of your songs are really funny, and this is cool that youre doing this netflix special. Tell us about that. Yeah. You know, its interesting. I love the idea that between songs is the challenge for the musician. You know, you get out there and its, like i learned a long time ago that if you entertain them between songs its gravy. Its like, people are like, oh, wow that was even entertaining. So i really worked on the comedy chops for a while and started hosting this thing at our comedy festival in nashville called the wild west comedy festival, which that title makes no sense. Seth yeah. Its east, but we had a great time and ive got a bunch of comedians and we stand up there and tell a bunch of jokes and netflix approached us and said, would you like to film that for a special . And we did. And its a blast. Seth well its also ive been at concerts before. Ive been to your concerts and theres also that thing of musicians when they tell a joke, the audiences love them because youre also a musician. Right. Seth with comedians, if you bomb you cant say, all right, let me get you back with a song. [ laughter ] right. Exactly. No. Seth yeah. And its also the kind of thing where they buy a ticket to see music, and when youre funny its just so, its so refreshing for them. As opposed to if they you and youre not funny, they got nothing. Seth nothing. [ laughter ] i mean absolutely. Seth well it also makes sense because i do feel, particularly with you, and i feel this is true of a lot of Country Music singers. I feel like your fan base really feels like they know you. Like theres not a wall of stardom between the two. And because they know you, i think they really like, oh, this is were actually hes telling us jokes and he feels like he knows us, too.
