There is another disaster happening this weekend. This sunday in st. Louis, theyre holding another president ial debate, trump vs. Clinton one on one the kerblooie in saint louie laughter and it is such a big event, that the debate will air live in Movie Theaters across the united states. Yes, on the same weekend birth of a nation is opening in theaters, you can also watch what might be the death of one. laughter i just laughter i just hope its in 3d. It will seem like the pandering is coming right at you. laughter the company that is doing this, the Movie Theaterries are offering the tickets for free. And according to the article, you can get a free soda with any popcorn purchase, and a Company Spokesperson said, republicans and democrats will agree, this is a pretty sweet deal. Wrong republicans and democrats will never agree on anything. They wont confirm your popcorn, and theyre going to filibuster the junior mints. And one of the things that hurt trump in the last debate is the fact that he offended some women by insulting their looks and others by complimenting their looks. And this week, he was asked to defend all those comments. Do you understand the concern from parents of younger girls, that some of the wording that youve used to talk about attractiveness or unattractiveness, might make it more difficult for girls who are struggling with their body image and the pressure to be model perfect . Sure, i do. And, you know, a lot of this is done in the entertainment business. Im being interviewed for apprentice, long before i ever thought in terms of running for office, obviously. So this was really something that i just decided to do, but a lot of that was done for the purpose of entertainment. Stephen see, women . He wasnt demeaning and degrading you. He was demeaning and degrading you for entertainment. laughter because he found it amusing. And if women dont like it, they can find their own form of entertainment. Maybe, i dont know, voting against donald trump this november. cheers and applause just for fun. Just for fun. I dont know. I cant think of anything more entertaining than watching him give a concession speech. laughter applause that that in a Movie Theater week pretty fun. Now, recently it came out that trump worked with the Gold Standard in objectifying women for entertainment playboy. First, buzzfeed dug up a playboy video from 2000 of trump welcoming playmates to new york by pouring champagne on a limo. That is the closest he will ever come to filling his own gas tank. And just a few days later, cnn unearthed another old playboy video featuring trump photographing and interviewing a model. Evidently, she performed well in the interview but was not selected to be his next wife. laughter this bombshell of trump hanging out with bombshells comes from a 1994 vhs tape titled playboy centerfold, that was obtained by something called cnns kfile. Well, this is impressive Investigative Journalism blew me away and i had to know more. So joining me now, is the reporter responsible for this scoop, cnns kfile. Whats up, stephen. Kfile, thanks so much for being here its me, kevin fileman a. K. A. Kfile stephen thank you for joining us, kevin. Its kfile.

My guest tonight first appeared in the Cherry Orchard at Lincoln Theater when he was 12 years old. Please welcome, diane lane thank you o fun. Thank you for that. Stephen so, at 12 years old, you were in the the Cherry Orchard. Thats true. Stephen i understand with meryl streep. Yes she hadnt even made a film yet. Well, thats not true. We got to see her debut while we were working together. It was a small role with jane fonda in julia. I think jane slapped her in the bar, and everybody wondered, who was that blond . And a career was born. Stephen at age 12 did you say to yourself, yeah, shes pretty good . She was standing in the ring watching ireney worth, and merrill was playing the maid, and it was just an amazing time. She let me play in her makeup bag. She was a very sweet, kind, actress to me, a little kid, punk kid. Stephen so if youre at Lincoln Center at age 12, when are you starting . How old are you when you are doing your first plays . I was six. I had no front teeth, but i still got the job. I played maddias child. Stephen maddia kills her children. Spoil alert, she kills her children to get back at jason. Yes. Stephen so did you have to be dead on stage . Yes and i had to do it very believably, because people are looking to see if your chest rises and falls once youre dead. Stephen highway did you do that . You know this story. Stephen no oh, my gosh. Its pretty embarrassing and im make the short version. But i peed myself. I mean, its been in time magazine. The story is pretty old. Stephen i missed that issue. Good for you. It was a 1979 issue. I go way back. Im going to come out in my walker next type. Stephen youre six years old and you just couldnt hold it anymore . Pretty much. Nobody told me about going to the bathroom before the show. I learned everything the hard way. laughter . Stephen and you went back the next night, though . They let me back. Ive the only one that knew the greek word. They couldnt recast. Stephen you did it in greek . Yes. The urip disease text. speaking greek i dont know what i just said. I think it was please dont kill me, mommy. Stephen work that was. I dont know what it was, but you seemed really passionate. Its brand in my brain. Stephen as soon as you got into the greek . Do you speak any languages . speaking french. Camah bear. Stephen coissant. Stephen who knows. Now, youre in the Cherry Orchard again on broadway at the American Airlines theatre. Im on broadway cheers and applause stephen come on you were at Lincoln Center when you were 12. This is old hat for you. But four tony winners associated with this production. Im surrounded by such talent and such grace. Im so delighted to be among the people. Im the poster girl, yes, its true. Im pinching myself. I really am. Im kind of nervous. Were in previews. Stephen youre in previews right now. Its going to be fine. What happens surehearse in the day, you change it a little, and then you test it out in front of 750 people that night and see how it goes. They dont like it, change it again. Stephen another one tomorrow. Its like kleenex in a box. It doesnt matter. Theres always another one. Its a marathon. Stephen chekhov wrote this in 1904, i think. What does chekhov say to us now . How can we possibly in our modern lives relate to a man writing about a fading aristocracy trying to cling to their wealth while a proletearate is trying to rise up in revolution. What could we possibly the 1 . Stephen how could we relate to the 1 and their Country Estates . I agree. The question answers itself. Stephen what does chekhov have to say to us now . Well, its history repeating itself endlessly, and we always seem to be open to learning and relearning from actually the truth that is in our parent i dont know and thank god for your art every night where we get a lot of truth, stephen. Thank you for that. Stephen thats very nice of you to say. No, its true. Stephen you know, wooy try ditch things. If it doesnt work we try it again another night. I never blame the writers. You give them the credit. Stephen not that, either. Its all me, baby. Its all me. Thats what i say. Stephen you just improvise it every night. Yeah, i made it up. Stephen youre rehearsing the the Cherry Orchard at the same time youre shooting Justice League right . Yeah, that happened. Stephen did you ever cross over and yes stephen call clark kent one of the proletearate or peasant. How do you play martha kent during the day and go back to your trailer and get ready for the the Cherry Orchard . It was almost a cliche of an actor prepares not, in parentheses. Because im in my trailer in london. I had just left rehearsals, had to go right back to rehearsals. So im jet lagged and my brain is desperately trying on learn chekhov. Stephen the the rehearsals for . Rehearsals for the play. Showing up in london to be martha kent again and reunited with all my beloveds on that film. And, you know, a small gig. Aah nervous about that, too. Want to do it well. No hereversal on tajust show up. Stephen real, no rehearsal on that film . Not enough for me. I could have done with a little more in hindsight. Now that weve done it can i go back and dog do it again whatever. Story of my life. Im in my trailer and running the lines with some sweet young woman who i paid hourly to come and run lines any spare moment i had. Stephen what a great gig for her. Yes, very sweet. But outside the trailer im hearing first of all, the amount of trailers on that movie it was like an r. V. Lot. We actually had an airplane runway. Thats what we were using if our parking lot of whats called base camp for all the actors. Stephen literally, an airport runway. Yes. Stephen where were the planes landing . It was a retired runway. Stephen just wanted to make sure. Yes, yes, im glad for that. Anyway outside the trailer im hearing this noise. Death metal. I dont know what that is. Stephen that was a very good imitation of death metal by the way. You have a great fallback career. No punk, no punk rock per me. Sorry, guys. Stephen tonight slaughterhouse is not available. Instead, please welcome diane lane. Oh, my god stephen go ahead, sorry. Jason, he is our aqua man. I didnt get to meet him but i heard him out in my trailer getting ready for his scene. Thats how he was preparing. Im inside trying to say, save the Cherry Orchard and learn my lines for chekhov, and out the window im hearing this death metal while hes getting ready to do whatever he does in the film, which i cant wait to see him do. Stephen i think he wares a lot of swim trunks. Hes handsome. Stephen oh, yeah, sure well, youre beautiful. Well, thank you. Stephen you guys that was a very sexy little trailer lot you had there. laughter so, you said you get to do, like, a scene once on a movie. And then thats it. Like, you dont get to rehearse it again pup dont get to do it again . Well, you get get more takes hopefully. Stephen but its not your call for another take. The director goes, i got the take and were moving o. Pretty much. And if i ask for another take im worse than if i hadnt asked for it. It seems that way. Stephen that was one of the shoc
