Concede last nights special Senate Election in alabama telling his supporters, quote, god is always in control. Unless moores on his horse in which case no ones in control. [ laughter ] [ laughter ] seth thats right. Last night the people of alabama made the apparently very difficult decision of choosing a democrat over a guy who was banned from a mall. [ light laughter ] i know were all tired of mall jokes, so let me just say one thing very seriously. Sure, roy moore was the hot topic for a while but americas not a Banana Republic and the voters made that claires. The voters said ugg and they were able to chanel their energy and send that fossil off on some new journeys. [ laughter ] i guess [ cheers and applause ] i guess they said enough of this gamestop. [ laughter ] and while well have to keep swatch, it seems like democracy is back in the pink and thats the most important thing tome. [ laughter ] according to a new Monmouth University poll, only 32 of people approve of the job President Trump is doing. Oh, wait. Oh, im sorry i read that wrong. Only 32 people approve of the job [ laughter ] President Trump is doing. [ cheers and applause ] according to a new report the arctic continued to warm in 2017 to the point that is now largely icefree during the summer months. So if you want yearround ice youll just have to visit the white house. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] a man in montana was caught on Surveillance Footage last week stealing a 300 pound atm from a hotel. The man was charged with theft and even worse a 4 transaction fee. [ laughter ] an immigrant in pennsylvanias launching a new Mexican Restaurant called illegal tacos, which is actually a lot less suspicious than a restaurant called legal tacos. [ light laughter ] and finally, democrat doug jones, as we mentioned, narrowly defeated republican roy moore to win an open senate seat in alabama last night. According to exit polls, 72 of white men and 63 of white women voted for moore. While 98 percent of black women voted for jones. Here to comment is one of our writers, amber ruffin everybody. [ cheers and applause ] thanks, seth. Now, as a black woman, i just have two things i want to say about last nights election. Youre. Welcome. [ cheers and applause ] while all of america was on the edge of their seats, waiting to see if an accused pedophile would get into the United States senate, 98 of black women in alabama voted for the other guy. Because as my dad says, black women laugh and joke, but we dont play. [ laughter ] and the women who saved us last night werent just regular black women. They were black women in alabama. Do you know what they have to go through every day . Those women woke up yesterday and were like, i gotta deal with systemic racism, the gender pay gap, the school to prison pipeline, humidity, and now yall want me to save america . [ laughter ] and on my way there i have to walk by like 18 confederate statues . All right. [ laughter ] roy moore was a well known antigay, antimuslim, racist pedophile. Allegedly. [ laughter ] heres how white women responded to him. Was there ever a moment when you questioned your support for roy moore . No. And this is how black women responded to him. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] p. S. , you know thats why omarosa got fired today. Trump was like, you promised me the black lady vote. And she was probably like, i dont know any [ laughter ] so, not only did we get rid of roy moore, we got rid of omarosa in one night [ cheers and applause ] what did you do last night . Watch the voice . Now, white people, i invite you to look upon our example and steal it. Its called appropriating, and it should be easy for you because you do it all the ti [ light laughter ] so, while youre busy appropriating our music and our fashion and our big fat booties, try appropriating our common sense. Stop trying to rap, and try getting up on a tuesday to go vote. I woke up this morning and saw the phrase black women was trending on twitter. So, of course my first thought was, oh god are we illegal now . [ laughter ] so, i immediately checked to make sure the next topic wasnt roundemup. But [ laughter ] it wasnt. But, it turns out it was trending because everyone was writing, thank you black women. And that is cool. But when youre done thanking us, why dont you try voting for us and putting a few of us in office so we can run this [ bleep ]. [ cheers and applause ] i just i just was like yay black women, and freaking 300 white people are like, yeah [ laughter ] what a world. You [ laughter ] you know what, black women should be running everything. Can you think of a single reason why we shouldnt be in charge . No. [ laughter ] thats what i thought. Back to you, seth. [ cheers and applause ] seth back to you amber. Let it go to your head. You let that go to your head [ applause ] weve got a great show for you tonight. Shes starring in a new film, the post, Sarah Paulson. Shes one of our favorites and shes back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] he has a fantastic new netflix comedy special, the return. Its streaming now, judd apatow is back. [ cheers and applause ] and his acclaimed comic book series happy has been adapted for a show at syfy. He is, for my money, one of the greatest comic book writers of all time, Grant Morrison is here this evening. [ cheers and applause ] before we get to all of that, as we mentioned democrats won a shocking victory in the deepest red state in america last night, defeating republican roy moore in the senate race in alabama and delivering a stunning blow to both steve bannon and President Trump. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth democrats havent had much to celebrate since last years election, and they could hardly contain themselves last night, as evidenced by the victory rally at doug jones headquarter. The crowd there was so excited that cspan caught the dj playing jones off the stage with teach me how to dougie. Thank you thank you thank you teach me how to dougie seth first thing, no one ever teach doug jones how to dougie. [ light laughter ] that is not for him. Second thing, to whoever was smoking weed and watching election results, safe to say that was the best moment of your life . Because that was definitely the most beat ever played on cspan. At least not since Bernie Sanders released his rap album under the name sean doesntownany combs. [ laughter ] of course one big question after the results came in was, how would donald trump react . And surprisingly, he seemed to strike a conciliatory tone. President trump just tweeted minutes ago, saying, congratulations to doug jones on a hard fought victory. The writein votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of alabama are great, and the republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends seth there is no way donald trump wrote that tweet. [ laughter ] he probably went to the bathroom and forgot his phone and someone else said, this is our chance write something decent [ laughter ] how much time until hes back . And they say, well he had two big macs, two filetofish, and a milkshake so i dont know an hour . [ laughter ] three minutes. Theres no way of knowing what that does to a human body. But hey, how bad is this for trump really . Its not like he pulled out all the stops and staked his agenda, his reputation, and his presidency on backing an accused child molester thinking there was no way he could lose in the deepest red state in america, right . The president of the United States has officially endorsed roy moore for senate. President trump is jumping in with both feet for moore. President trump has just recorded a last minute robocall for roy moore. President trump tweeted today that, quote, the people of alabama will do the right thing, unquote, and vote for republican roy moore. According to the gop candidates campaign, the president talked to moore over the phone and cheered, go get em roy. I think hes gonna do very well. We dont want to have a liberal democrat in alabama. We dont need a liberal person in there. A democrat. So get out and vote for roy moore. Seth why does he say it like that . [ laughter ] hes pronouncing roy moores name like hes playing it on a tuba. [ laughter ] get out and vote for roy moore. Make America Great again. [ laughter ] can we hear that one more time . [ laughter ] seth now, the closing weeks [ cheers and applause ] the closing weeks of this campaign tell us a lot about how this happened. With the allegations looming over him, moore essentially disappeared from the campaign trail, spending long stretches out of the spotlight, avoiding rallies and interviews. And his extreme views were difficult for his surrogates to defend. For example, moore has said that muslims should be barred from serving in congress. On tuesday, cnns jake tapper asked Moore Campaign spokesman ted crockett to explain that view, and lets just say, it did not go well. Judge moore has also said that he doesnt think a muslim member of congress should be allowed to be in congress. Why . Under what provision in the constitution . Because you have to swear on the bible, when you are before i had to do it. Im an elected official. Three terms, i had to swear on a bible. You have to swear on a bible to be an elected official in the United States of america. He alleges that a muslim cannot do that, ethically, swearing on the bible. You dont actually have to swear on a christian bible. You can swear on anything, really. I dont know if you knew that. [ laughter ] you can swear on a jewish bible oh no, i swore on the bible. Ive done it three times, jake. Im sure you have, im sure youve picked a bible. But the law is not that you have to swear on a christian bible. That is not the law. [ laughter ] you you dont know that . Alright, ted crocket i dont know i know that donald trump did it when he when we made him president. Because hes christian and he picked it. Seth look at him. He looks like the last hole at a miniature golf course. Moore eventually resurfaced on monday night at a rally designed to appeal to trump voters by borrowing one of trumps slogans, drain the swamp. They even went so far as to decorate the venue in the spirit of that slogan. This event has been promoted as the drain the swamp rally and if you can see the signage behind me, thats the message this campaign wants to resonate with voters who come here tonight. As they walk past the literal swamp this campaign has built, with fake alligators and foliage. Seth so given a choice the accused sexual predator said, we should do it like a prom theme. [ laughter ] dress it up a like a prom theme. Now youd think, in the closing hours of the campaign, moore would have wanted to avoid any mention of the child molestation accusations against him. And yet, one of the introductory speakers at the rally, a friend who served with moore in vietnam, told a bizarre story about how they and a third guy ended up at a brothel with young girls. He was introduced to roy and me and he said, why dont you come out with me guys, tonight, have a couple beers, its my last night in vietnam. We said sure, we can do that. He said, i know a private club down in the city that we can go to. And he took us to this place which turned out to be a brothel. And roy turned to me in less time than it took for someone to come up to us. And there were certainly pretty girls, and they were girls, and they were young, some were probably very young. Roy said to me, we shouldnt be here, im leaving. Seth thats your argument . [ laughter ] he cant be a child molester because, one time, he didnt . Cool. I remember one game where o. J. Had 140 rushing yards, three receptions, and no murders. [ laughter ] but moore, of course, had a key backer who stood by him, former white house chief strategist steve bannon. Bannon, who has cultivated the myth that hes some sort of political strategic genius, was an early and vocal moore supporter. But these results have once again deflated bannons selfstyled reputation as a political mastermind, because bannon made mistake after mistake. Just take his comments from mondays rally, in which bannon, the former Goldman Sachs trader whos lived in virginia and california, went out of his way to brag about the elite schools he went to, while responding to msnbc host joe scarborough. Morning joe, they called me a yankee the other day, cause im from richmond, virginia. Its the capitol of the confederacy. [ cheers and applause ] thats right joe, i got into some yankee schools, georgetown and harvard. That i dont think you could make the cut on, brother. Seth so there you go, bannon says scarborough went to a much crappier school than he did. So where did scarborough go to school, anyway . Joe scarborough went to the university of alabama. [ light laughter ] seth wow. How stupid do you have to be to insult the university of alabama in alabama . Who do you think theyre going to support, roll tide or someone who looks like he literally rolled up in the tide . [ light laughter ] of course moore himself didnt have much to say in the closing weeks of the campaign, but he did seem to be making a statement by defiantly riding to the polls yesterday on his horse to cast his ballot. Is it just me, or does it look like even his horse is trying to get away from him . [ laughter ] can we hear what the horse is saying . Get off me you creep. [ laughter ] seth now, this race was obviously unique in many ways, but lets not act like moore was some sort of aberration who was isolated from the rest of the gop. He was supported, of course, by the president , who is the leader of the republican party, and the Republican National committee. And yet, some republicans were so ashamed, they couldnt even bring themselves to say moores name. Like jeff sessions, an alabama resident who vacated the senate seat to become attorney general. Sessions was asked yesterday who he voted for, and did everything he could to avoid answering the question. I voted absentee, yes, uh, and i value the sanctity of the ballot uh, and i would say, uh, the people of alabama are good and decent and wonderful people i have been proud to serve for 20 years in the senate. And they will make the right decision, im sure. Seth i havent seen sessions sweat that much since every time hes testified before congress. [ laughter ] come on mr. Attorney general, who did you vote for . I dont recall. [ laughter ] seth of course, moores message was a muddled mix of lawless theocracy and cultural grievances. And in the end, that message was rejected. But this victory is owed primarily to black voters, and especially black women, who came out in huge numbers and voted overwhelmingly to save the country from the nightmare of a demagogue and accused child molester serving in the senate. Meanwhile, republicans are left to explain why a party that nominated and almost elected such a man should ever be trusted again. Ted crockett, do you have anything to say about that . [ light laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth well be right back with Sarah Paulson everyone [ cheers and applause ] announcer for more of seths closer looks, be sure to subscribe to late night on youtube.

Our first guest tonight is an emmy and golden globe winning actress you know from American Crime story the people versus o. J. Simpson and 12 years a slave, she currently stars in the post in select theatres on december 22. Lets take a look. When youre told time and time again that youre not good enough, that your opinion doesnt matter as much. When they dont just look past you. When to them youre not even there, when thats been your reality for so long its hard not to let yourself think its true. So to make this decision, to risk her fortune and the company thats been her entire life, well, i think thats brave. Seth please welcome back to the show the lovely Sarah Paulson, everyone [ cheers and applause ] seth hi. Hi. Its always so nice seth welcome back. Thank you for having me. Seth its nice to see you as well. The last time you were here i believe it was right before last years golden globes. Yes. Seth and i wished you lucked and then it worked. Yes. You were the good luck charm. Seth you won. I think it was because of you that it happened. Seth thank you very much. Thank you very much. Seth well, cause you didnt thank me during your speech so i wanted to make sure you remember. I wanted to do it here live right to your face and look right in your eyes. Seth this is better, and say thank you, seth. Seth this is better. Its more meaningful this way. Seth since people versus o. J. Simpson which was from last year one of the most special moments in television, have you have people approached you more . Is that preformance yeah. I think American Horror story is a more niche thing and the o. J. Thing had a wider net. Seth yeah. But not as much not as far reaching as i thought because i was on the phone the other day in the airport and a very nice girl came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder, and said i dont want to interrupt you. Of course i thought, well, then dont dont interrupt me, but and she said, i just wanted to give you this. And it was a little cocktail napkin i looked down and it said, hi, ms. Foy, i think youre the greatest actress. And i was like, she thinks im claire foy. I was like, my career is not the needle hasnt moved at all. Seth no. Nobody knows who i am. Seth claire foy is very talented. And sure. And also, much younger than i am, so ill take it. Seth yeah, take those napkins. Yeah. I am going i took the napkin. Seth when life gives you that gift of a napkin. I actually went to her and was like, did you do you want to save this for when you do run into claire foy . And shes like, no, you can keep it. So i kept it. I thought it would be a good seth you should have written on one, im a huge fan of yours Sarah Paulson. And gave it to her and said, this is for claire foy. Give this to her next time. Seth when you ever meet her. Yeah, exactly. Seth so, this the post is yeah. Seth this is one of those fantastic films about journalism and its very timing now its about very earlier 70s and the Washington Post decision to publish the pentagon papers. Yes, because our government was not operating from a place of full transparency. Seth yeah, its weird. Its so weird that its relevant now. Seth yeah, it totally came back. Its strange. Seth that came back around. Yeah, thats some how full circle and here we are again. Seth you had read Katharine Grahams autobiography. Yes, its called personal history, when i was 26 year old and i tried to option it. They were not interested in letting me have it. So, i was pretty well versed about her and her life and shes an incredible woman. First woman on the fortune 500 list to, you know ceo, it was just incredible. Seth and was it a fantastic it must have been a fantastic thing to be part of. Well you know, its steven spielberg. So, when you get that call youre, sort of, going do i do it, do i not do it . Its steven spielberg. And then its, like, its also tom hanks, you play his wife and some lady named meryl streep whos at the beginning of her career and its just starting out for her. Were not sure where its going to go. [ light laughter ] seth well, still you can always say you were in her first movie. I was in her first movie. And i think i can tell you i think things will go well for her. Seth i also, i want to ask about American Horror story. So, this is how many have you done . Ive done seven seasons. Seth seven seasons. [ cheers and applause ] and this season you had one of the more normal looks youve had on the shows. Is that a safe yes, thats a safe thing to say. Yeah, normal being that seth yeah, you kind of look like yourself cause these are previous years. Is this is this coven . This is coven. Yeah. Thats just an acid burn face look, if anyone is interested in that. Seth yeah, totally normal. This is hotel. Seth yeah, hotel. Thats sally the junkie. Seth sally, the junkie. This is really the coup de gras right there. Yeah, thats the two headed gal. Seth yeah. Yeah, i mean seth and you got cast as both, which is i got to play both although a lot of people do come up to me now and theyre like, wheres your other head . [ light laughter ] seth yeah. And like, i dont have, yeah seth be like that was claire foy. That was claire foy. [ laughter ] this look was actually a scary look because i would actually go out after work seth which one . After work i would forget people think this is a wig. It aint. Seth oh, wow. Thats my hair. Seth oh, wow. I definitely thought it was a wig. Yeah, yeah, i had to basically shave it off when it was over because it was so damaged. But i would go to buy milk at the store at the end of the work day and they would, like, drop my change into my hand they didnt want to touch me. [ laughter ] i forgot that i looked like that. And i was like, what is going on . Seth you, also, im very excited about this, oceans 8 is coming. Its coming, and i think yeah the trailers coming. Seth the trailers coming very soon.

Seth you and i both share a low level low level, super cool chill seth perfectly legal, obsession with rihanna. Yeah, yeah. She texted me not long after, i got a text message from rihanna but i was convinced that there was no she sent me like, a crying laughing emoji congratulating me on winning the goldenglobe. And i was like rihannas not gonna send an emoji. Shes not sending an emoji and then i went to set the next day and she was like, yes, that was me. Seth wow. And i thought, i cant believe she texted me. [ laughter ] i havent heard from her in a long time. Seth got ya. I will say. Well of course not, you she congratulated you and you iced her. [ light laughter ] and i yeah, because i was like im not writing back to this girl whos pretending to be rihanna. Im totally not going to do that. But i do think i have a little bit of a connection if you want me to see if i cant try to get her to come on your show. Seth look, i dont think thats going to happen why . Seth but i will take an emoji. Just get me sarah, get me an emoji. I will get an emoji from rihanna. Seth even if she has to send it to you and you forward it to me. It should be like, this is for seth. Seth yeah, this emoji. Or shell send me an emoji and ill craft something thats like give this to seth but it wont really be from rihanna. That will be from me. Seth ill take anything from rihanna. She also sends me some fenti goodies every once in awhile, too. Seth your life is fantastic. Its pretty cool, yeah.

The news the news felt different last night. I slept. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] it was so weird. And all people had to do was vote. Seth yeah. Because this whole time weve been like, how does this end . And then people just voted. Were like, oh, then these people all just go away. [ laughter ] like if everyone votes, it all goes away. Seth its really nice. Cause i was hoping on the pee tape. That was my thing. Seth yeah. I was like, is this pee tape you know theres a rumor. We dont know if its real. Seth yeah. Theres a pee tape. Someone is getting peed on or peeing on. And we dont know what it is. Probably doesnt exist. But we want it to. Seth right. Because then it goes away. No one loses their job. Seth yeah. No one loses their health care. Just a little pee pee. Seth yeah. Just a little pee pee. But if there is one and trump goes away, who becomes the president . Seth yeah, pence. Thats right. Seth yeah. So we need another tape. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] see, i think the problem is i think youre in trouble after the first one. Because i think i dont think theres a tape on mike pence. You know . Yeah. Seth i think the worse tape is like probably just like him sitting in an empty room staring at a brick wall. Yeah. He thinks hes so sexy, he cant be alone in a room with a woman. Seth yeah, exactly. And i always wondered does he think hes going to attack her or shes going to attack him . Seth yeah, also its in a restaurant. Yeah. Seth so there would be waiters there to stop it. Yeah. Seth yeah, he wouldnt even go to restaurant with staff. Really . Seth i dont think yeah, i dont think hell have meals with women. I dont know. I think what we need is a tape thats a russian hooker peeing on like 40 republicans so we finally get Bernie Sanders to be the president of the United States of america. [ cheers and applause ] seth i could see that. Its going to take some work. Seth its going to take some work. And a lot of water. Yeah. Seth and what is your take . Obviously you work in this industry. Yes. Seth because its been very easy to criticize whats happening in d. C. Yes. Seth hollywood. Yes. Seth even new york show business under the microscope right now for some terrible behavior. Thats right. Seth what is your take on the Sexual Harassment . You know, i dont know. Cause my instinct is always to say the thing they dont say which is you know it concerns me, you know, as a father of two daughters. It concerns me. But you shouldnt have to have daughters to get that its disgusting. Seth yeah. Right . You should be able to say, as the owner of a bird, im disgusted. [ laughter ] seth yeah, right. Yeah. Like, everybody should be disgusted. Seth yeah. Its horrible. Isnt it . Its like women always knew men were disgusting. And now men are going, i guess we are disgusting. [ laughter ] seth yeah. We didnt know how terrible that we were. And its so easy to not be a sexual harasser, you just literally do nothing. Seth yeah. You do nothing and youre like, hes a great guy. Absolutely nothing. [ light laughter ] seth what about the one that was so hard for me yes. Seth because it was somebody i had a great amount of respect for. Yes. Seth senator al franken. Yeah. Seth but, you know, that photo was a very difficult photo to look at. He took that picture. Yeah. Seth i understand, you know, his defense of it was a joke. But it certainly was a very hard thing to look at. Whats is your take on photos like that . Well its concerning. Because i was like, what photos have i taken in my life . You know . Seth yeah. Do you ever think that . Seth oh, yeah. The rolodex and you just go like, what have i done . So i went through all my photos. I went through 35,000 photos honestly and scrolled to see, like what do i have on the cloud that someone will find one day that will end me. Seth and how many of the 35,000 were career enders . There were literally hundreds of me pretending to blow guys. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] but we were all laughing. Seth yeah, yeah, yeah. And i think its okay. But were all learning. Seth yeah. Were all learning that men do not get it at all how awful they are. Like all this masturbating, who knew that masturbation was so popular that everyone is like guys that masturbate in front of people. I always thought the best part of masturbation was that you were alone. Seth yeah. And no one was judging you, right . [ laughter ] seth yeah. Isnt that why we like it . That no one is there to go seth yeah. Whats the matter with you . Seth i agree. [ laughter ] i fully agree. And you need someone there. Its also like an enormous lack of imagination. Seth yeah, thats the whole point. Well i feel like, in general, we all have worse imaginations than we did 30 years ago. Well we have none. Seth yeah. People doing it on the phone like doing it on the phone while the other person doesnt know that youre doing it. Let me just say this, if you hear me making a weird noise on the phone, im not masturbating. But 50 50 im pooping. Seth oh, okay. [ laughter ] thats time management. Seth thats fine. Thats time management. Seth yeah, and thats decent. Youre hard to get on the phone. Seth yeah exactly. Thats two birds with one stone. Seth and thats something that everyone does. Yeah. Seth and theres even a book about it. Im pretty sure. There is . Seth yeah. I want to talk about your special. You well you come back to standup. Yes. Seth its been years youve been away from it. When you were first starting out, you were doing it with a lot of people who became very successful at it. Yes. Seth this is a photo of you and jim carrey back in the day. Yes. Seth this is one of the photos thats not a career ender. That is a terrifying jim carrey. [ laughter ] this is why i stopped doing standup comedy as a young man. Because i clearly didnt have the energy and focus that jim had. Seth yeah. Look at the photo. This is him between shows. Seth yeah. This is his everyday energy. Look at me, im hugging the pillow just terrified. Seth you used it between shows to sleep. Exactly, yeah. Seth youve obviously been a long lover of standup and a long supporter of people who are starting out younger comedians. Pete holmes, his show crashing yes. Seth hes been doing it a long time now. Yeah. Seth but this is a show about when he was first starting out. Yes. Its based on his life a little bit, fictionalized. And its on hbo. We have our Second Season coming back january 14th. And its about this religious man who wants to be a comedian in the dirty cesspool that is new york. Seth we have a clip from season two, right . This is a clip. He just talked to Penn Jillette who convinced him that maybe god doesnt exist. Seth alright. And hes very confused. And then he bumps into doug benson. Seth alright lets take a look. Afterwards. How could everything be nothing . Because we dont its everything. But do you know about everything . What if it was zeus . What if it was this one . And now hes mad and now you die. And chances are whos zeus . Thats my point. Whos god . Who is god . Do you know . Zeus . What if youve been praying to jesus and it was zeus . Jezeus.

Thinking about what to avoid, where to go, and how to work around your uc. Thats how i thought it had to be. But then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control. When certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. With humira, control is possible. Bellas, you are the i am inside of all of you. Thats weird. One last show together. I love you awesome nerds. Byebye bellas. [ grunts ] Pitch Perfect 3. Rated pg13. [ cheers and applause ] seth our next guest is one of the most esteemed comic book writers of all time. He is the creator of the comic book series happy which is now a show on syfy airing wednesday nights at 10 00 pm. Lets take a look. You can see me . What the hell . Yeah, you aint quite what i expected either. I guess we get what we get. And we dont get upset, right . Oh, boy. Well, here goes nothing. Im happy the happy horse horse, horse so full fun of course of course seth please welcome to the show Grant Morrison, everyone [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome to the show. Hey, how are you doing seth . Seth im doing very well. I have so much to ask you about. But i feel like we should discuss this show right away because lets alienate the audience and talk about comics all night. Seth no, no. I want we want to alienate them at the end. I want to start with your tv show. Okay. Seth but this is a show that is a little bit difficult to define. Chris meloni plays a hitman. You can tell in the clip that he also sees a talking blue unicorn. Yeah. Seth played by patton oswalt. This is based on a comic you wrote. And it is the first youve written batman and superman and the likes that we know. But this is your first original work that has been adapted to screen. Was it difficult to turn it over to Television Writers . I know youre in the room as well. But is it hard to give away your original work . No. Actually not at all. Im not precious about the work. You know, the comic book exists out there. But for television we had to adapt this. We had to translate it into something different. So i had a great time. You know i love getting out of the room. I spend host of my time in a little room surrounded by cats just writing comic books. [ laughter ] and yeah i love the cats. But it was great to get out of there and hang out with some actors and hang out with the other writers. It was honest i loved the entire process. But its very different from the book. Seth the show is getting great reviews. A lot of people watched it. Yet its still hard to define. Do you like that part of it . That, no one can quite say what genre the show fits into . Yeah i love that. I mean to me its like, okay, thats how my head works. Its like this everyday. [ laughter ] but the fact that its out there its out there now and people reacting in a really strange way. To me it seems its kind of a tradition that includes things like its a wonderful life or a christmas carol. Its a christmas story, you know . Seth yeah. Its about its about a fallen man who then meets this strange little creature who leads him on a very odd journey. So, i think it has kind of antecedents. But im fine. If Everyone Wants to think theyve seen nothing like it before. Go for it. [ laughter ] theres never been anything like this before seth yeah own it. Yeah. Seth you mentioned christmas. Youre writing you have a comic right now called klaus. And this is a take on santa that i havent seen before. He basically its santa as a superhero. Yeah. Seth yeah. And there is your klaus. Claus i should say. Very jacked. We dont usually see santa that jacked. So santa santas been working out. Seth yeah. Seriously working out. Seth was it natural progression for to you take the idea of santa claus into a superhero realm . Well i was kind of ashamed by the way we treated santa in happy as youll see as the series goes on, joe reitman plays this character who is obsessed with christmas. Amd hes obscene basically. Seth yeah. Depraved and monstrous. Seth yeah for those who couldnt tell from the clip, this show is also incredibly violent and depraved. Its a little bit. Itll make you lose your lunch and will break your heart. [ laughter ] so we kind of wanted to cover everything physical there. But yeah, i mean, i wanted to atone for the santa in happy so i come up with this idea of santa claus as a superhero as super buff, jacked up superhero who fights christmas menaces. And the idea was what the hell does this guy do for the other 364 days of the year . Well heres what he does, he fights monsters. Seth thats great. So, you got into comics i had not known this but your father was a pacifist. And your fear your fear of the atomic bomb led you to comics. Tell us how that happened. No absolutely. My dad he didnt start out as a pacifist. He was a fighter. And he joined the army when he was 16. He lied about his age. And like so many young guys, i think, in the Second World War he saw a picture of hitler and thought, i can take that guy. [ laughter ] you know, look at him. Hes 52. I can beat him into a pulp. And he didnt realize like so many of didnt realize between him and hitler was thousands of miles of tank traps and armed men and bombs. But he tried his best. And he come back from the war kind of disillusioned. So he became a pacifist. And he started he decided that since hitler was out of the way, what was the next big enemy . Well the atom bomb. That was a good one for my dad to take on. So he decided he would fight the atom bomb. When i was a kid, he used to take me to all these kind of marches and all that antinuke demonstrations. And i was terrified. Because the bombs are the one things my parents were scared of. It was so bad. I didnt even know what the bomb was as a kid. But they were scared though. So i knew must be something bad. And we had a big american base in scotland which was kind of flashing target in the cold war. You know, it was one of those places that if the siren sounded wed be obliterated within seconds. So we used to go and protest this place. And the weird thing for me was that the same guys who are bringing the bomb in, which were the american servicemen, the american navy, the seals, also brought in superhero comics. Because they would bring these over as ballast on the ships. So there was all these comics. As i said the guys that brought the bombs also brought me superman. And for me, the bomb was scary. But it was just an idea. And superman was a way better idea. Superman, hes this guy who could stand in front of atom bomb explodes in from of him and he goes, that tickles. [ laughter ] and he gets a tan. Thats the best that can happen to him. So imaginatively for me it was that was an escape from the bomb. Superheroes were an escape. And i loved the irony of the fact that the same people who brought the bomb brought me superman. Seth well i and everyone who reads comics and enjoys comics are very lucky that they brought comics as well. I think god blessed america, lets face it. Seth thank you. Well take it. And thank you so much for being here. Congrats on the show. Its fantastic. Youre welcome. Thank you. Seth Grant Morrison, everybody happy airs wednesday nights on syfy. Well be right back.
