THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE GUYS, IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR TOMORROW IS SANTACON -
[ AUDIENCE OHS ] -- HERE IN NEW YORK CITY. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS.
YEAH, AT SANTACON, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL DRESS UP AS SANTA AND PACK THE STREETS FOR AN
ALL-DAY BAR CRAWL. SO, BEFORE YOU GO TO BED, MAKE SURE YOU PUT OUT A PLATE OF
ADVIL AND A TALL GLASS OF PEDIALYTE. [ LAUGHTER ]
THAT'S RIGHT, HAPPY SANTACON TO EVERYONE IN THEIR 20s, HAVE FUN.
TO EVERYONE IN THEIR 30s, IT'S GETTING KIND OF SAD. [ LAUGHTER ]
HEY, GET THIS, ACCORDING TO A NEW SURVEY, 30% OF AMERICANS HAVE INJURED THEMSELVES DURING
HOLIDAY RELATED ACTIVITIES WHILE THE OTHER 70% ARE THE ONES FILMING IT FOR TIKTOK
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S RIGHT, 30% GET INJURED. WHO KNEW CLIMBING A LADDER AND
HANGING LIGHTS ON AN ICY GUTTER COULD BE DANGEROUS [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
ACTUALLY, THE MOST COMMON INJURY IS SPRAINING YOUR FACE FROM FAKE SMILING AFTER OPENING
A PRESENT. [ LAUGHTER ] "IT'S A SLANKET.

46%, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE BLOOD ALCOHOL CONTENT OF EVERYONE AT SANTACON

[ LAUGHTER ] DID YOU GUYS SEE THIS? A TOP ADVISER TO SENATOR
BERNIE SANDERS SAID THAT IF BIDEN DOESN'T RUN IN 2 2024, SANDERS WILL GIVE IT A
A HARD LOOK. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] YEAH, PEOPLE WEREN'T SURE ABOUT
HIM IN THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS, BUT MAYBE THEY'LL VOTE FOR HIM NOW THAT HE'S MORE MATURE.
[ LAUGHTER ] SOME MORE BIG NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
TODAY, SENATOR KYRSTEN SINEMA ANNOUNCED THAT SHE'S LEAVING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND
REGISTERING AS AN INDEPENDENT. IT'S GOOD TIMING, 'CAUSE NOTHING SAYS THE HOLIDAY SEASON

THEM [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW
YOU FROM "GREY'S ANATOMY." >> SURE. >> Jimmy: DO PEOPLE, WHEN
YOU'RE DOING BROADWAY, DO THEY -- DO THEY SAY "HI" TO YOU AFTER THE SHOW, AND BE JUST
LIKE, "HEY, WE JUST CAME BECAUSE WE'RE "GREY'S ANATOMY" >> THERE'S A LOT OF "GREY'S"
FANS AT THE STAGE DOOR IT'S, KIND OF, A -- ONE COOL THING I THINK IS THAT IT'S
BRINGING A LOT OF FOLKS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, SURPRISINGLY, THAT HAVE NEVER
SEEN A BROADWAY PLAY COMING TO SEE IT BECAUSE THEY'RE BIG FANS OF "GREY'S."
AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE FANS THAT ARE 12 AND 72 I MEAN, WE HAVE THE WHOLE -- WE
HAVE FOUR GENERATIONS OF FOLKS >> Jimmy: YEAH >> PRIMARILY WOMEN, WHO COME
AND SEE THE -- [ LAUGHTER ] COME AND SEE THE SHOW.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND THEY COME, "YEAH, I'M FROM CHILE AND WE LOVE THE
SHOW AND WE JUST WANTED TO COME." BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY ARE
GOING TO SEE YOU IN REAL LIFE. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN
STAND THERE -- I DON'T WANT TO SOLICIT THIS BECAUSE THERE'S A A LOT OF PEOPLE.
BUT, LIKE, I CAN STAND DOWN IN ONE SPOT AND I'M GOING TO BE THERE EVERY NIGHT.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND SO, IT'S A PRETTY COOL EXPERIENCE FOR THEM.
AND IT'S A HELL OF A SHOW, HONESTLY SO -- SO, I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT
>> Jimmy: AND YOU'RE -- YOU'RE BACK DOING IT. I MEAN, THIS IS --
>> YEAH, THAT WAS NOT EXPECTED >> Jimmy: IT TAKES SO MUCH WORK, BY THE WAY, TO A BROADWAY
PLAY I MEAN, IT'S JUST -- ANY, ANY BROADWAY PLAY, BUT ESPECIALLY
WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN THIS ROLE IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. DID YOU HAVE A SECOND THOUGHT
WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD -- IF I CAN PHYSICALLY CAN COME BACK AND DO
THIS." >> WELL, I MEAN, WHEN WE WERE ALMOST DONE THE FIRST RUN
EARLIER THIS YEAR, IT CAME TO MY DRESSING ROOM I REMEMBER, OUR DIRECTOR,
SCOTT ELLIS, INCREDIBLE DIRECTOR, CAME TO DRESSING ROOM AND ASKED, YOU KNOW, DO WE --
IT WAS PROBABLY MAY. "DO YOU WANT TO -- I MEAN, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT EXTENDING
IT, BECAUSE IT WAS A BIG SUCCESS. IT WENT REALLY WELL.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND I -- IT'S SUCH AN EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTING ROLE.
IT'S JUST SO -- IT JUST BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ME I WAS JUST LIKE, "NO, GET OUT
OF MY DRESSING ROOM. >> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU'RE LIKE -- >> IT'S, "NO, I'M TIRED.
I'M TIRED. I WANT -- I COULD NOT WAIT TO --
I LOVED IT, BUT I NEEDED TO -- >> Jimmy: EXACTLY. >> IT WAS BEATING THE HELL OUT
OF ME. I GOT A SUMMER WITH MY KIDS. I GOT TO, KIND OF, DECOMPRESS,
GET SOME PERSPECTIVE AND IT WAS JUST STILL IN ME. I WAS RUNNING THE LINES.
I WAS STILL -- IT WAS JUST -- YOU CARRY IT WITH YOU. >> Jimmy: IN THE SUMMER FOR --
>> YEAH, THROUGHOUT. I WAS STILL RUNNING THE LINES, WORKING AROUND THE HOUSE,
MESSING AROUND AND I JUST -- WE JUST LEFT ON A HIGH -- I KNEW WE HAD MORE IN
THE TANK AND WE JUST -- WELL, HOW RARE --
LIKE, YOU JUST SAID, IT'S SUCH A RARE OPPORTUNITY >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> ONCE IN A LIFETIME TO BE A LEAD IN A BROADWAY PLAY WITH INCREDIBLE ACTORS.
THIS -- THIS COMPANY IS SO FANTASTIC. WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE TO DO
THAT AGAIN, I'M -- THAT'S NOT PROMISED SO --
>> Jimmy: CAN WE TALK JUST ABOUT -- WHAT IS "TAKE ME OUT" CAN YOU TELL EVERYONE WHAT IT'S
ABOUT? >> YEAH, "TAKE ME OUT," IT FOLLOWS ESSENTIALLY, KIND OF,
LIKE, THE NEW YORK YANKEES IT IS THE BEST PLAYER ON THE BEST TEAM, CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING
TEAM, AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS CAREER, WITH EVERYTHING AHEAD OF HIM
HE'S ON TOP OF THE WORLD AND WITH JUST TO -- AS A A SURPRISE TO EVERYONE, HE
COMES OUT AS GAY HE DOESN'T WARN ANYBODY. AND THE PLAY BEGINS JUST IN THE
IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH -- AFTERMATH OF THAT. AND IT'S JUST AN EXAMINATION OF
MALE RELATIONSHIPS AFTER A WORD IS SAID. BECAUSE NOTHING BEHAVIORALLY
CHANGES ABOUT THIS PLAYER. HE'S THE ALPHA ON THE TEAM, ALPHA IN THE LEAGUE.
HE DOESN'T -- THERE'S NO -- THERE'S NO KIND OF AFFECTATION OR GIMMICK FOR MEN TO HIDE
BEHIND WITH THEIR, LIKE, HOMOPHOBIA >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND THEIR DISORIENTATION AROUND IT'S NOT LIKE, "WELL, IT'S COOL
BUT I WISH HE DIDN'T DO THIS." OR "I WISH HE DIDN'T DO THAT I WISH HE DIDN'T TALK LIKE
THAT." BUT I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING IT'S JUST HOW MEN STRUGGLE TO
HANDLE A RELATIONSHIP AND WHAT IS A RELATIONSHIP IF YOU CAN'T BE YOUR TRUE SELF IN FRONT OF
EACH OTHER AND IT'S -- AND THERE'S A LOT OF GROWTH, AND IT'S VERY MUCH
A HOMAGE TO BASEBALL AND I GREW UP PLAYING BASEBALL, YOU KNOW, YEAR AROUND.
IT WAS VERY, VERY SACRED IN OUR HOUSEHOLD. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND A HUGE BONDING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY FATHER
>> Jimmy: ME TOO >> I DEFINITELY -- I DEFINITELY WAS CONSCIOUS OF DOING --
CHOOSING TO DO THE ROLE AS PART OF A HOMAGE TO MY DAD AND, LIKE, OUR RELATIONSHIP
>> Jimmy: DID HE GET TO SEE YOU IN THE ROLE? >> HE'S BEEN TO TWO -- TWICE
ALREADY. AND HE'S COMING -- >> Jimmy: REALLY
>> YEAH, HE'S COMING AGAIN >> Jimmy: WHAT DOES HE THINK >> YEAH.
HE LOVED IT. HE LOVED IT. AND, YOU KNOW, HE COMPLIMENTED
THE SWING. YOU KNOW, HE APPROVED. [ LAUGHTER ]

>> YEAH. YEAH, HE'S -- >> Jimmy: HE'S LIKE, "YEAH, I
TAUGHT YOU WELL. >> HE'S A MECHANICS GUY. AND -- BUT NO, HE LOVED IT
