"WILL TRENT. YES, YEAH Jimmy: HOW-- HOW DO-- HOW
DO YOU GO AND GET AROUND DOING THAT I-- WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THE FIRST THINGS I WANTED TO TACKLE WAS, LIKE, OKAY, THIS GUY'S FROM ATLANTA
YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO BE-- TRY AS HONEST ABOUT THE CHARACTER. AND SO, I GOT A DIALECT COACH
TO HELP TAKE AWAY SOME OF MY NEW YORK/PUERTO RICAN SOUNDS - Jimmy: WOW.
- AND HELP ME, SORT OF, DIVE INTO THAT MOLASSES, BEAUTIFUL SOUND THAT'S RICH IN
THE SOUTH. AND SO, WE ACTUALLY FOUND, LIKE, A MODEL.
WE FOUND-- WE'LL KNOW THIS ARTIST FROM OUTKAST, ANDRE 3000
[ CHEERS ] WE USED HIM JUST AS AN INSPIRATION, NOT TRYING TO COPY
HIM, BUT TO FIND THE NUANCE AND SPECIFICITY OF HIS SOUND AND TRY TO TAKE SOME OF THAT
AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE PUT TOGETHER AND CREATE THE SOUND OF WILL TRENT.
Jimmy: SO YOU'D LISTEN TO OUTKAST BEFORE YOU - I LISTENED TO A BUNCH OF--
WELL, I LISTENED TO A BUNCH OF HIS INTERVIEWS AND IN THOSE INTERVIEWS, I
COULD-- YOU KNOW, I WAS WORKING WITH THIS COACH, AND WE-- WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE
THIS SPECIFIC SOUND THAT IS WILL TRENT Jimmy: THAT'S AMAZING
YEAH. Jimmy: NOW EVERY TIME I WATCH, I'M GOING TO THINK OF
ANDRE. I MEAN, YOU MIGHT PICK UP SOME OF IT
IT NI-- IT WAS MORE LIKE-- IT'S NICE TO HAVE A FOUNDATION THAT YOU CAN BASE A DIALECT ON
SO, IT'S NOT, SORT OF, OUT OF NOWHERE. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC
Jimmy: WHAT WORDS DO YOU HAVE ANY CERTAIN WORDS, LIKE -
WELL, YEAH, THERE WERE, LIKE, PHRASES, YOU KNOW, LIKE, THE WAY HE WALKED, THE WAY HE
TALKED "SHE WAS GONE WHEN SHE-- SHE TOOK THE DOG FOR A WALK IN THE
MORNING. YOU KNOW Jimmy: WOW.

WHEREVER YOU AT. Jimmy: YEAH, THAT'S FANTASTIC.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE CAN WE SET UP WHAT "WILL TRENT" IS ABOUT -
YEAH. Jimmy:-- FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN IT
YEAH, SURE. SO, I PLAY WILL TRENT. HE'S A SPECIAL AGENT IN THE
GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION. AND HE'S A CHARACTER THAT JUST
HAD A REALLY COMPLICATED CHILDHOOD, MAN AND WHAT I LOVED ABOUT HIM, WAS
HIS RESILIENCE YOU KNOW, HE'S SOMEONE THAT GREW UP IN THE FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM, WAS AN ORPHAN, IS DYSLEXIC, AND DESPITE ALL OF THESE, SORT OF, HURDLES IN
LIFE, HE WAS ABLE TO RISE UP THE RANKS AT THE GBI AND HE'S GOT A VERY UNIQUE
PERSPECTIVE AS TO HOW HE LOOKS AT THINGS, PARTLY BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH
SO, WHEN HE ARRIVES AT A CRIME SCENE, HE SORT OF PUTS TOGETHER THE PUZZLE IN HIS OWN MIND,
VISUALLY, IN A VERY COOL WAY AND I THINK THAT WAS SOME OF THE FUN STUFF, VISUALLY, WE GET
TO PLAY WITH ON THE SHOW TOO Jimmy: GOOD MAN I WANT TO SHOW A CLIP.
HERE'S RAMON RODRIGUEZ IN "WILL TRENT. TAKE A LOOK.

ROOM IN WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
MAKING HER "TONIGHT SHOW" DEBUT, PLEASE WELCOME THE VERY FUNNY, SOPHIE BUDDLE
♪ [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
HEY HELLO. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
HI, EVERYBODY. I'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE. I'M HAPPY TO BE IN THE COUNTRY
I'M CANADIAN [ CHEERS ] I JUST-- OH
CANADIAN OR YOU JUST LOVE PEACE [ LAUGHTER ]
A FAN OF PEACEFULNESS. THAT'S COOL. YEAH, I'M CANADIAN
I MOVED TO AMERICA THIS YEAR I WANTED TO SEE IT BEFORE IT ENDS
[ LAUGHTER ] JUST, SORT OF, A BUCKET LIST THING FOR ME
[ LAUGHTER ] AND I MOVED TO L.A I MOVED TO LOS ANGELES, WHICH
IS - [ CHEERS ] IT'S WHAT YOU THINK IT'S LIKE.
IT'S WEIRD, RIGHT? LIKE, THE PEOPLE THERE ARE WEIRD.
I'VE NEVER MET PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY SAY STUFF OUT LOUD IN REAL LIFE BEFORE
LIKE, "DO YOU KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS? [ LAUGHTER ]
AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DO ALSO SAY THAT, BUT ONLY BECAUSE MY DAD HASN'T REALLY OPENED UP
TO ME LIKE THAT. [ LAUGHTER ] [ APPLAUSE ]
I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE IF HE TALKED TO ANYBODY ELSE [ LAUGHTER ]
I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU. THIS WAS NOT MY DREAM. NO OFFENSE, JIM.
[ LAUGHTER ] YOU HAVE A LOVELY HOME AND MANY ROOTS.
[ LAUGHTER ] SO MANY ROOTS. BUT THIS IS NOT MY DREAM
THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED FOR MYSELF WHEN I WAS LITTLE, I WAS REALLY
HOPING I WAS GOING TO BECOME A A SPY. [ LAUGHTER ]
IT DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR ME. I STAND ON STAGE I TELL MY SECRETS INTO A
A MICROPHONE [ LAUGHTER ] SO, IT'S NOT REALLY WHAT
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW. [ LAUGHTER ] BUT I REMEMBER JUST BEING
A LITTLE KID AND STAYING UP LATE AT NIGHT AND BEING LIKE, "OH, I HOPE WHEN I GROW UP, I'M
HOT ENOUGH TO BE A SPY." [ LAUGHTER ] I JUST WANTED TO BE THE BEST
SPY I COULD BE AND WE ALL KNOW, ON THE MOVIES AND TV SHOWS, THE BEST SPIES
ARE HOT AND THEY DID A A SOMERSAULT AND THEY'RE WEARING LEATHER.
AND YOU'RE LIKE, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT'S AMAZING."
[ LAUGHTER ] STILL GOT IT SO, I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO BE HOT
TO BE A SPY. BUT I ACTUALLY REALIZED AS AN ADULT WOMAN, YOU WOULD MAKE
A MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE SPY IF YOU'RE REALLY FRUMPY LOOKING 'CAUSE IF YOU'RE HOT AND YOU'RE
TRYING TO BREAK INTO SOME BIG ORGANIZATION, YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE AND THE SECURITY
GUARD IS GOING TO HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU. "HOW'S IT GOING?
[ LAUGHTER ] LIKE, GRILLING HER BUT IF YOU'RE ALL FRUMPY AND
YOU SHOW UP AND YOU'RE LIKE, "I HAVE TO DO THIS PAPERWORK. HE'S LIKE, "EW, FINE
GO [ LAUGHTER ] GET IN THE VAULT
HURRY. [ LAUGHTER ] NOBODY'S MORE INVISIBLE IN OUR
SOCIETY THAN, LIKE, AN AVERAGE-LOOKING WOMAN. AND IF THAT'S OFFENSIVE TO YOU,
I CAN'T SEE YOU. [ LAUGHTER ] [ APPLAUSE ]
BUT I STILL DO TRY TO MAKE SPY STUFF HAPPEN IN MY LIFE. AS AN ADULT, LIKE, I LOOK
THROUGH MY BOYFRIEND'S PHONE [ LAUGHTER ] THEN I DO SOMERSAULTS.
[ LAUGHTER ] BUT FOR REAL, THE SPY THING THAT I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL,
THAT NOBODY REALLY GIVES CREDIT TO IS THE FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY ON OUR PHONES
IT'S AWESOME IT'S SPY STUFF, RIGHT? YOU HOLD YOUR PHONE UP TO YOUR
FACE, AND IT SCANS YOUR FACE OR SOMETHING. AND THAT OPENS UP-- AND YOU
CAN JUST HOLD UP YOUR BOYFRIEND'S PHONE UP TO HIS FACE WHEN HE'S SLEEPING,
OBVIOUSLY. [ LAUGHTER ] YOU JUST HOLD IT UP.
[ LAUGHTER ] FEELS LIKE AN OVERSIGHT. [ LAUGHTER ]
SOMETIMES YOU DO HAVE TO OPEN UP THEIR EYELIDS A LITTLE BIT BUT--
[ LAUGHTER ] IT'S LIKE, "OH, YOU'RE DREAMING
[ LAUGHTER ] GO BACK TO SLEEP." BUT I DO ACTUALLY THINK THIS
FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY IS REALLY COOL BUT IT HAS A REALLY BAD
REPUTATION LIKE, WHENEVER YOU LOOK INTO IT, EVERYONE IS LIKE, "OH, YOU
KNOW THE GOVERNMENT IS ACTUALLY USING THIS TO LOOK AT US OH, THE GOVERNMENT IS USING
THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S NOT GOING TO GET MY FACE.
AND IT'S LIKE-- IT'S ALWAYS GUYS THAT ARE FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT WATCHING
US AND I DON'T CARE [ LAUGHTER ]
GIRLS DON'T CARE AND I THINK THE REASON THAT IS, IS WE'RE USED TO BEING LOOKED
AT WHEN WE DON'T WANT TO BE LOOKED AT. THAT'S JUST PART OF OUR LIVES,
BUT IT'S APPARENTLY NEVER HAPPENED TO A MAN EVEN ONE TIME ONCE
[ LAUGHTER ] THEY'RE FREAKING OUT "THE GOVERNMENT-- THEY'RE
MAKING A DOCUMENTARY [ LAUGHTER ] THEY'RE WRITING A NOVEL.
THEY CAN'T BELIEVE IT. THE GOVERNMENT'S LOOKING AT ME."
[ LAUGHTER ] AND SO, I THINK WHAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO IS, I
THINK, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD, LIKE, PUT A STATEMENT TO THESE GUYS
JUST BEING LIKE, "SMILE, GORGEOUS [ LAUGHTER ]
[ APPLAUSE ] TAKE THE COMPLIMENT, BABE. [ LAUGHTER ]
LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GET ALL COVERED UP IN PUBLIC SO NOBODY HARASSES US IN PUBLIC?
THAT'S THE SAME AS WHEN GUYS PUT A LITTLE PIECE OF TAPE ON THEIR WEBCAM
[ LAUGHTER ] I JUST WISH IT WAS THAT EASY FOR US
YOU KNOW, IF A GUY IS LOOKING AT YOU, AND YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, YOU SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO GO UP TO HIM PUT A LITTLE BIT OF TAPE ON HIS EYES
[ LAUGHTER ] OKAY, I'M SOPHIE BUDDLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
