IT'S TIME FOR "THE NEWS."
WOW, OKAY.
TOMORROW, PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL WELCOME GERMAN CHANCELLOR OLAF
SCHOLZ TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND YOU KNOW BIDEN IS GOING TO KICK IT OFF BY TELLING HIM, "I
GOTTA TELL YOU, OLAF, MY GRANDKIDS LOVED YOU AS THAT

REAL TOP-NOTCH WORK."
♪ IN SUMMER ♪ BIDEN AND THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR
WILL DISCUSS EFFORTS TO SUPPORT UKRAINE, TRANSATLANTIC SECURITY,
AND OF COURSE.
THE TOP OF JOE BIDEN'S AGENDA...
THE UNDERGROUND CLUBBING SCENE IN BERLIN.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, BIDEN CAN USE THE MEETING TO FINALLY PITCH THE
GERMAN CHANCELLOR ON HIS IDEA FOR "MARCH-TOBERFEST."
[LAUGHTER] DO YOU THINK?
Ian: YES, THE TOBER IS FROM OCTOBER.
James: I'M NOT SAYING IT IS MY IDEA.
I AM NEARLY A VESSEL.
SHARING DIRECT NEWS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
OKAY?
I SAID TO HIM, I SAID JOE-- I CALL HIM JOE.
I SAID, BUDDY, JUST CALL IT TO MARCH FAST.
AND HE SAID I THINK IT'S TOO CLOSE, HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT LIKE
MARCH MADNESS AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.
AND HE SAID I WANTED IT TO BE "MARCH-TOBERFEST."
Ian: HE IS THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD AND I WILL FOLLOW
HIM GLADLY.
James: AND HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS?
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE IS TRYING TO CORNER
DONALD TRUMP WITH A DEBATE PLEDGE.
IT'S TRUE, IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN REPUBLICAN
DEBATES, EACH CANDIDATE WILL NEED TO SIGN A PLEDGE TO SUPPORT
WHOEVER WINS THE NOMINATION.
YEAH, THAT WILL DO IT.
GETTING TRUMP TO SIGN A PLEDGE IS A BRILLIANT PLAN.
BECAUSE IF THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW, DONALD TRUMP WOULD NEVER
SAY ONE THING AND THEN DO ANOTHER.
I MEAN, NOTHING'S HAPPENED TO HIM AFTER ATTEMPTING TO
OVERTHROW AN ELECTION, BUT SURE, THIS IS WHAT'LL GET HIM.
A "DEBATE PLEDGE."
[LAUGHTER] BUT I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE
RNC HERE.
THEY HAVE TO LET DONALD TRUMP ON THAT DEBATE STAGE.
IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO HEAR ALL THOSE NICKNAMES.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE IS COOKING UP.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
TRICKY NIKKI HALEY, PRAWN DESANTIS, AND HIDIN' BIDEN.

James: AND THEN YOU ARE LIKE, DON'T LOOK NOW, MEATBALL
RON HAS JUST WALKED IN.
I THINK IT IS SO-- I JUST WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS

FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS FILED FOR A PATENT THAT
WOULD ALLOW SELF-DRIVING TRUCKS TO "REPOSSESS" THEMSELVES IF
PAYMENTS ARE MISSED.
OR, IF IT'S NOT CONSIDERED WORTH REPOSSESSING, THE VEHICLE COULD
ACTUALLY DRIVE ITSELF TO A JUNKYARD.
THAT IS SOME MESSED UP "END OF A PIXAR" MOVIE TYPE [BLEEP].
WHEN THEY FIRST TOLD US ABOUT SELF-DRIVING CARS IT WAS LIKE
"YOU'LL BE ABLE TO READ THE NEWSPAPER ON YOUR DRIVE INTO
WORK!" AND NOW THEY'RE JUST CAUSING CAR
CRASHES AND GHOSTING YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
[LAUGHTER] HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS, REG?
YOU ARE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE, I MEAN, YOU ALREADY, YOUR CAR
ALREADY DOES DRIVE YOU AROUND, RIGHT?
YOU JUST GO-- AND SIT THERE, AND I WOULD FEEL VERY
UNCOMFORTABLE.
HE WOULD BE LIKE THIS IS FINE.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
Reggie: I THINK IT IS GREAT, INSTEAD OF WAKING UP IN
THE MORNING IT'S LIKE NO, I JUST DROVE AWAY.
James: KIDS, WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!
[LAUGHTER] I MEAN IMAGINE HOW MANY CALLS
THE POLICE ARE GOING TO GET.
MY CAR HAS BEEN STOLEN...
IT HASN'T.
AND WE WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS.
ACCORDING TO A NEW POLL, THE MOST STRESSFUL TIME OF THE
DAY-- WHAT DO YOU THINK?
TIME OF THE DAY?
RIGHT NOW.
James: DAVE?
WHAT IS THE MOST STRESSFUL TIME CUSTOMER >> 8:30 A.M.
James: YOU ARE GOING 8:30.
WHAT IS THE MOST STRESSFUL TIME OF THE DAY FOR LAUREN GREENBERG?
BEDTIME.
James: ANY TIME THAT YOU GET TO BE ALONE WITH YOUR
THOUGHTS.
WINNIE, WHAT IS THE MOST STRESSFUL TIME FOR YOU?
THE MINUTE I WAKE UP.
James: SOME OF YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT ZONE.
PEOPLE SAY THE MOST STRESSFUL TIME OF DAY IS 7:23 A.M.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU WERE MEANT TO BE AT WORK AT 7:00.
ACCORDING TO THE SAME POLL, THE FIRST CASE OF "DRAMA" TYPICALLY
HAPPENS BY 8:18 A.M.
THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT KIDS.
BY 8:18 I HAVE ALREADY SAVED MY HOUSE FROM BURNING DOWN TWICE.
RESPONDENTS ALSO SAID THEY EXPERIENCE AN AVERAGE OF THREE
DRAMAS A DAY.
I LIKE TO GET ALL THREE OF MY DRAMAS OUT OF THE WAY EARLY.
I WALK IN IN THE MORNING AND RANDOMLY OPEN SOMEONE'S OFFICE.
AND I AM LIKE, "YOU ARE SLEEPING WITH MY FATHER?
HOW DARE YOU!" REG COME I FEEL LIKE HER DAYS
ARE FREE OF DRAMA, YOU'RE PRETTY ZEN.
Reggie: THERE RANDOM THINGS, IT'S MOSTLY STRESSFUL
BECAUSE IT WILL BE LIKE YOU HAVE TO GO OVER HERE, AND THEN YOU
HAVE TO GO OVER THERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
James: YEAH.
[LAUGHTER] BOIL IT DOWN.
HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THIS.
IT IS JUST ONE [BLEEP] THING AFTER ANOTHER.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?
A FASHION RETAILER HAS INTRODUCED AN ARTICLE OF
CLOTHING THEY'RE CALLING "LOW RISE BOOTY DENIM SHORTS" AND,
THEY'RE BASICALLY A JEAN THONG.
HERE THEY ARE HERE.
LOOK AT THAT.
YOU KNOW, FOR CASUAL FRIDAYS.
I LIKE IT, I LIKE THE LOOK.
THAT'S HOW YOU WANT TO HIT THE CLUB.
JEANS THONG, TEAM STRONG.
THAT'S WHAT I SAY.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING YOURSELF RIGHT NOW: "SURE THEY
LOOK GREAT, JAMES, BUT ARE THEY COMFORTABLE?"
AND THE ANSWER IS...
KIND OF.

HERE IT IS HERE.
LOOK AT THAT.
YOU DO HAVE TO PROVIDE YOUR OWN FAMILY DRAMA.
YOU CAN ALSO RENT THE PLACE FROM "WHITE LOTUS," BUT THAT'S JUST A

NOT REALLY A BIG DEAL.

James: GENTLEMEN, GENTLEMEN, I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE
HERE, AND I AM SO AWARE OF HOW MANY THINGS AND PEOPLE AND
PLACES ARE PULLING ON YOUR TIME AT THIS MOMENT IN THEIR LIVES,
AND THE FACT THAT YOU BOTH HAVE FOUND THE TIME TO BE HERE--
Colin: JUST START ASKING QUESTIONS, JAMES.
James: HERE WE ARE, JUST THE THREE OF US, TWO OSCAR
NOMINEES, AND RICHLY, RICHLY DESERVED!
AND COLIN, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU HEARD THAT YOU WERE
NOMINATED?
Colin: I WAS ON MY COUCH IN MY LIVING ROOM WITH MY YOUNGEST
SON, MY TWO SISTERS, A BROTHER-IN-LAW, AND CARRY FROM
THE FILM WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SHE TEXTED ME, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
ARE YOU GOING TO BED AND HOPEFULLY RECEIVE A CALL OR
WATCH IT LIVE?
AND I SAID I HAVE A FEW PEOPLE COMING BY, SO 5:00 IN THE
MORNING, SHE WAS IN HER PAJAMAS, AND SHE CAME, THE CATTLE WENT O
ON.
AND THAT WAS IT.
James: DID YOU NOT FEEL A SENSE OF PRESSURE INVITING
PEOPLE AROUND AT SUCH A MOMENT?
Colin: I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR THE NOMINATION.
THE THING WAS, MY SISTER NEARLY GOT A DRUM ROLL.
I THOUGHT OF IT.
MY SISTER HAD SAID ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, WILL WE ALL COME
OVER WHEN NOTHING HAPPENS?
THERE BEEN SOME CONVERSATION FOR ALL OF US IN THE FILM.
AND I SAID THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
TALK ABOUT TEMPTING FATE IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY.
SO I GOT A BIT COCKY AFTER THAT AND THOUGHT THAT IT'S NEVER A
CERTAINTY.
BUT THEY ARE SAYING INSTEAD OF A POSSIBILITY IT HAS ENTERED THE
REALM OF PROBABILITY.
BUT THEN YOU STILL [BLEEP] YOURSELF.
ON THE COUCH AND ONCE IT STARTED HAPPENING, AND KERRY'S ACTRESS
WAS FIRST, AND IT WILL ALL BE OVERLOOKED IN THREE WEEKS LIKE
THAT.
James: WHAT ABOUT YOU, BRENDAN, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU
HEARD THE NEWS?
Brendan: I WAS ASLEEP, BECAUSE I WAS WORKING.
I WAS WORKING ON-- AND I HAD TO GET SOME SLEEP, AND
ANY WHEN THE PHONE CALL CAME, THAT'S NOT MY ALARM, I WOULD NOT
BE GETTING IT SO EARLY IF IT WAS NOT GOOD NEWS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] James: IT HAS BEEN THE MOST
INCREDIBLE RUN, AND YOU SHARED A KISS AND THEN SHARED COVID
OBVIOUSLY, TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS CASE.
I MEAN IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, IS THIS HOW YOU
CONGRATULATE EACH OTHER ALWAYS?
Colin: THAT'S HOW WE START EVERY MORNING AT WORK.
TWO HOUSE OF A FRACTURED FRIENDSHIP, WE BETTER START WITH
A GOODLY BLOCK EVERY MORNING.
Brendan: SO THAT WAS.
COLIN WON THE GOLDEN GLOBE AND IT WAS ANNOUNCED, AND HE GOT UP,
AND I WENT TO GIVE THEM A BIG BRUISE ON YOUR RIGHT CHEEK AT
WHICH STAGE HE WAS GIVING IT TO ME ON MY LEFT CHEEK, AND WE MET
IN THE MIDDLE, AND I COULD AT LEAST SIT DOWN AND SAY THAT WAS
A BIT ODD, BUT HE WOULD GO UP AND EXCEPT HIS GOLDEN GLOBE.
SO-- Colin: AND DID NOT EVEN
HAVE A BREATH MINT.
James: IT IS YOUR EYES THAT I REALLY LOVE.
Colin: I'M REALLY IN IT.
James: I BELIEVE BRENDAN STORY THAT HE WAS GOING FOR
SOMETHING ELSE, BUT IN THAT MOMENT I THOUGHT THAT THIS IS
EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED.
Colin: A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, BUT I CAN'T DENY
THAT.
IT'S THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE.
James: SOMETHING YOU BOTH COMBINATION, YOU BEGAN YOUR
CAREERS ON IRISH SOAP OPERAS, BRENDAN YOU WERE ON A SHOW
CALLED "GLENROE" HERE TO TELL ME THIS GUY.
Colin: OH, IF I HAD SEEN THEM BACK THEN.
SMOLDERING OVER A BREAKFAST ROLL.
YOU LOOK LIKE, IF I KNOWN HIM BACK THEN, THERE MIGHT'VE BEEN
SOME TONGUE IN THAT CASE.
James: THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE A MAN WHO ENJOYED HIS FIRST
BRUSH WITH FAME, DID YOU ENJOY IT?
Brendan: NO.
IDENTITY.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I WENT INTO A SHOP AND FELT THE EYES
BURROWING IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD AND I SAID OH, GOD, I AM GOING
TO HAVE TO ADJUST TO THIS.
BECAUSE I HAD BEEN IN PLAYS AND KNOWN IN PLACE, BUT THAT'S BE
LOVELY, SOMEBODY WHO HAS SEEN THE PLAY SAYS I SAW YOU IN THE
PLAY.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DO IT.
BUT THAT'S, I JUST THOUGHT, BECAUSE IT IS IN THE LIVING ROOM
OR WHATEVER, PEOPLE FEEL THEY KNOW YOU IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
AND WENT DOWN TO A PLACE CALLED ELLIS IN THE WEST OF IRELAND
THERE WAS A WHOLE GROUP OF WOMEN WHO I THINK WERE A PART OF THE
LIONS CLUB OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE IN THE TOWN, AND THEY
BASICALLY TOSSED HER OUT OF THE WAY.
Colin: MARY?
Brendan: NOT EASILY DONE.
AND SHE SAID, WHAT'S GOING ON?
AND THEY CAME AT ME FOR THE WAY THAT I WAS TREATING FIONA IN THE
SOAP OPERA.
MY CHARACTER IN THE SHOW, I WAS LEAVING HER AND I WAS NOT
STANDING BY HER.
IT WAS THE WEIRDEST THING.
AND THEY ARE HAVING A LAUGH, BUT IT WAS KIND OF-- I DID NOT
KNOW, SOME OF THOSE WOMEN WERE ENTIRELY BELIEVING.
Colin: IT MUST HAVE BEEN CONVINCING IN THE SHOW.
Brendan: IT WAS SO BIZARRE.
BUT I ASKED THEM TO KILL ME OFF--
[LAUGHTER] BECAUSE I HAD BEEN A TEACHER FOR
LIKE TEN YEARS PRIOR, AND I DID NOT WANT TO BE TIED TO THE JOB.
I WANTED TO GO DO STUFF.
BUT THEY SENT ME TO KENYA.
SO HE IS STILL IN KENYA SOMEWHERE.
James: HE IS STILL IN KE KENYA, AND IT'S NOT ON ANYMORE?
Colin: RAN FOR 20 PLUS YEARS OR SOMETHING.
James: IF YOU CALLED UP THE PRODUCERS AND SAID, YOU KNOW IT,
GOING TO COME BACK FROM KENYA, THEY WOULD GREEN LIGHT THAT SHOW
STRAIGHTAWAY.
Brendan: OH, THANKS.
IT'S BEEN YOU ARE NO STRANGER, BECAUSE HE STARTED IN A IRISH
SOAP OPERA CALLED "BALLYKISSANGEL," WHICH I
REMEMBER VERY FONDLY.
THERE YOU ARE.
[LAUGHTER] NOW WHO DID YOU--
Colin: THAT'S MY HEAD SHOT úBACK WHEN I WAS POLE DANCING.
James: WHO DID YOU PLAY IN "BALLYKISSANGEL"?
Colin: I PLAYED DELI BURN, HE WAS A RAGAMUFFIN, AND HE GOT
IN A SPOT WITH THE LOCAL LAW IN THE CITY AND HAD TO FIND HIS WAY
TO THE COUNTRYSIDE TO WEAR HIS UNCLE PLAYED BY BERTIE SWEENEY.
Brendan: DO YOU REMEMBER?
THE MAGIC HE WAS.
James: AND YOUR CHARACTER WENT TO KENYA?
Colin: ABSOLUTELY.
SIERRA LEONE.
THE OTHER PLACE.
THANK YOU, REGGIE.
James: LET'S TALK ABOUT "THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN,"
NOMINATED FOR NINE ACADEMY AWARDS!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BRENDAN HAS NOT CAUGHT IT YET.
AND I CAN'T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Colin: IT'S DIFFERENT TO EVERYONE WHO SEES IT.
IT'S ABOUT THE CORE DISSOLUTION OF FRIENDSHIP.
THE SUDDEN AND UNCOMPROMISING DECISION OF ONE MAN, MEAN MAN
MAKES IN DECIDING THERE IS A LANE IN THE SAND AND HE DOESN'T
WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH THE OTHER MUCH NICER FELLA.
James: I LOVE THE FILM SO MUCH, I LOVE EVERY SINGLE
PERFORMANCE AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
AND COLIN COMING TO WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH SEVERAL ANIMALS IN
THE FILM.
SPECIFICALLY THIS MINIATURE DONKEY NAMED JENNY, JENNY IS A
STAR AND HER OWN RIGHT.
BUT TELL ME IS THIS TRUE, BECAUSE I HAVE READ, IS IT TRUE
THAT JENNY, THE DONKEY, HAS HER OWN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DONKEY?
Colin: SHE DID.
James: HOW THAT HAPPEN?
Colin: I DON'T KNOW IF SHE REQUESTED IT.
James: WHY IS IT NECESSARY?
Colin: SHE WAS A NERVOUS WRECK.
James: SHE LOVED "IN BRUGES."
IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR HER.
Colin: SHE SAW MY WORK AND WAS AIMING HIGHER WITH HER
CAREER.
James: ALL MY LIFE "PADDINGTON 2."
Colin: BEING ON A FILM SET AS YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE AN
AWKWARD PLACE TO BE ESPECIALLY-- DO YOU VISIT A
FRIEND WHEN THEY ARE SHOOTING THE FILM?
IT'S VERY WEED, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN THE WAY.
James: IT'S LIKE GOING TO A FANCY DRESS PARTY AND NOBODY IS
IN FANCY DRESS.
WHY ARE THEY HERE?
Colin: THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JENNY SAID, SHE SAID IT'S LIKE
BEING AT A FANCY DRESS PARTY AND NOBODY ELSE IS DRESSED UP.
I NEED A SUPPORT DONKEY.
SO THEY CAST ROSIE, THE SUPPORT DONKEY AND WHAT HAPPEN WAS JENNY
DID NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
IT'S HER FIRST FILM, SHE'S A 2-YEAR-OLD BIT OF ASS.
LITERALLY, ANYWAY.
SO SHE WOULD GET NERVOUS AND SHE WOULD NOT HIT HER MARKS.
AND THEY WOULD GO, BRING IN ROSIE.
AND THEN HE WOULD HEAR A CLIP, KLOPP, CLIP, KLOPP.
AND ROSIE WOULD COME AROUND THE CORNER AND HE WOULD SEE JENNY
COME DOWN.
AND SHE WOULD GO UP AND NUZZLE ROSIE A LITTLE BIT, AND HE WOULD
GIVE THEM A FEW SECONDS AND THEN BRING JENNY BACK.
James: YOU KNOW IT, AND MAKES ABSOLUTE SENSE.
BECAUSE IMAGINE NOW, RIGHT READ YOUR NEXT NEXT JOB YOU TURN UP
AND IT'S YOU AND AN ENTIRE ROOM OF DONKEY'S.
OKAY?
AND THERE'S A DONKEY ON THE CAMERA, A DONKEY WITH A BOOM.
Brendan: I WOULD LIKE TO WORK ON A MOVIE LIKE THAT.
James: LET'S LOOK AT A CLIP FROM "THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN"
STREAMING RIGHT NOW ON HBO MAX.
YOU USE TO BE NICE!
DID HE NOT?
AND NOW, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?
NOT NICE.
I SUPPOSE NICENESS DOES NOT LAST, DOES IT, PADRAIC.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT DOES LAST--
WHAT?
AND DON'T SAY SOMETHING STUPID LIKE MUSIC.
MUSIC CLASS.
THE PAINTING LASTS, AND POETRY LASTS.
SODAS NICENESS.
DO YOU KNOW WHO WE REMEMBER WHO NICE HE WAS IN THE 17TH
CENTURY?
WHO?
ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, BUT WE REMEMBER THE MUSIC, EVERYONE
REMEMBERS MOZART'S NAME.
I DON'T, THERE GOES THAT THEORY.
James: STICK AROUND.
WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK.

TIME.
WHEN YOU THINK BACK TO THAT TIME FIRST COMING TO L.A., NOW YOU'RE
HERE A LOT, WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF HOLLYWOOD WHEN HE FIRST GOT HE

Brendan: WELL, IT WAS KIND OF THRILLING.
I CAME OVER FOR THE PREMIER OF "BRAVEHEART" AND WENT TO THE
BACK LOT AT PARAMOUNT STUDIOS.
AND MEL BROUGHT ALL OF THE GUYS IN THE BAND, THE GROUP AROUND
OVER.
AND I JUST-- IN FACT I WAS VERY JET-LAGGED,
THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT WORD, AND I WAS STANDING IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE LOT AND I REMEMBER THE CHIEFTAINS WERE PLAYING, AND IT
WAS 2000 AND I MET JODIE FOSTER, AND BIT FOR MY LIP 10 MINUTES
AFTER SAYING IT WAS A TERRIBLE THING TO SAY TO ANYBODY EVEN
THOUGH IT WAS TRUE.
AND I FOUND MYSELF LOOKING AROUND NOT ABLE TO BELIEVE IT.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT L.A. THAT I LOVE, AND ONE OF
THEM IS THE EMBRACE OF STRANGENESS AND OTHERNESS.
AND THERE'S ALWAYS THE FAITH THAT A NEW IDEA MIGHT BE LURKING
SOMEWHERE IN A NEW TALENT.
AND I KNOW THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS WRONG AND IT DOES NOT
HAPPEN FOR EVERYBODY, BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS THAT PEOPLE BRING IN
THE DIVERSE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT COME TO THIS PLACE, YOU GET
THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY MIX OF TALENT.
AND I HAVE LEARNED TO LOVE THE CITY FOR THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING
ELSE.

REMINDED ME JUST BEFORE THE SHOW, AND I THINK IT WAS LOTS OF
PEOPLE ON THE SHOW, THAT WHEN WE-- AND IT FEELS STRANGE NOW
THAT WE ARE SHOOTING THE SHOW 1,171 AND IT'S ABOUT TO END
SOON!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT COMPLETELY HAD FORGOTTEN ALL
ABOUT IT REALLY THAT THE NINTH WE TAPED TO THE FIRST EVER "THE
LATE LATE SHOW," I WENT TO DINNER IN MALIBU WITH COLIN, AND
BONO, RIGHT?
AND IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY NIGHTS OF MY LIFE
AND I REMEMBER SITTING WITH YOU AND YOU SAID THE MOST GLORIOUS
THINGS TO ME ABOUT LOS ANGELES AND BEING HERE.
Colin: DID I?
I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT ANYMORE.
[LAUGHTER] James: WE SAT OUTSIDE AND
YOU SAID TO ME HOW WAS THE SHOW?
AND I WAS LIKE I DON'T KNOW.
Colin: YOU ARE IN A TIZZY.
James: I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE JUST DONE.
AND YOU SAID TO ME, YOU HAVE LANDED AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT
IN YOUR LIFE WITH THIS BIG BLUE SKY, THERE ARE MORE CREATIVE
PEOPLE PER SQUARE MILE HERE AT.
YOU ARE LIKE YOU HAD TO SOAK UP EVERY INCH OF IT, YOU'RE GOING
TO LOVE IT AND BE GREAT, THE SHOW WILL BE GRAND.
AND I WAS LIKE THANKS, COLIN, THAT'S AMAZING!
I MEAN, EARLY ON IN YOUR CAREER, AM I RIGHT IN THINKING USED TO
FLY FRIENDS AND FAMILY OUT TO L.A. FROM IRELAND?
Colin: YES, THE SAME HOTEL I USED TO STAY, I STAYED IN WHAT
IS NOW WINDHAM WAS THE HOLLOW HOLIDAY INN RIGHT NEAR THE PIER
IN SANTA MONICA, CAME UP WHEN I WAS 22 OR 23, JUST DOING
MEETINGS, AND I WHEN I TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF WORK, I THINK PART
OF IT WAS I JUST DID NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT ON MY OWN.
I DID NOT WANT TO GO HOME AND BE BORING PEOPLE WITH MY STORIES, I
WANTED THEM TO HAVE THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE, SO WE COULD SAY DO
YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME WHEN AND I WAS NOT JUST BOYS POSTING INTO
THE VOID.
SO THERE WERE TIMES WHERE I HAD 35 PEOPLE COME OVER, AND I
REMEMBER SEEING MY UNCLE JUNIOR WITH HIS FACE LIKE BE TRUE TO
READ GOT TOO MUCH SUN, AND ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT HE'S
BEHIND ME IN AN INTERVIEW GOING--
YEAH, IT WAS BRILLIANT.
AND THEN THEY WOULD COME OVER.
AND THEY WOULD COME OVER FOR A WEEK AND GO TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
AND DISNEYLAND, AND THEN WE WOULD ALL MEET AND HAVE
COCKTAILS BEFORE AND DO THE PREMIER PARTIES, IT WAS AMAZING.
IT WAS ABSOLUTE DEBAUCHERY AS WELL, BUT THERE WAS SOME CLASSIC
TIMES.
REALLY.
AND I PROBABLY FELT, THIS IS NOT A POOR ME, SMALLEST VIOLIN IN
THE WORLD SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED, BUT I THINK AT THAT TIME I WAS A
LITTLE BIT MORE LONELY OR A LITTLE BIT MORE, I WAS NOT
AWARE, A LITTLE BIT MORE MISSING LIFE AT HOME THEN I WAS WILLING
TO ADMIT, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT I WAS ALSO REALLY FORTUNATE AND
LUCKY IN ALL OF THOSE OTHER THINGS.
SO IT WAS LIKE I CAN'T EVEN MISS HOME, I'M NOT REALIZING HOW
BLESSED I AM AND STUFF, SO ONE OF THE KIND OF THINGS WAS TO
BRING AS MANY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS OVER WHENEVER I COULD.
James: HOWEVER DEBAUCHERY IT WAS.
IT DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR A Reggie: YES, I DO,
THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME FOR THE FIRST TIME.
TONIGHT'S QUESTION IS...
IRELAND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, WHAT ARE
YOUR PERSONAL FAVORITE PLACES IN IRELAND?
Brendan: MY FAVORITE PLACES ARE THE THINGS I WANT TO KEEP TO
MYSELF, BECAUSE A QUIET PLACE I CAN GO, I LIKE THIS PLACE THAT I
GO A LOT, BUT I HAVE BEEN KIND OF ALL AROUND AND IT'S HARD TO
MISS IF YOU HAVE THE TIME AND THE WHEREWITHAL JUST TO KIND OF
LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU, ANYWHERE AROUND THE WEST COAST OF IRELAND
IS GOING TO SUIT.
THAT IS NONSPECIFIC.
James: COLIN?
Colin: THERE IS A TOWN THAT AT ONE STAGE WAS THE SECOND
BIGGEST WHITE FISH PORT IN EUROPE, IT'S CALLED CASTLE
BEARER, AND IT'S IN THE BARROW PENINSULA, AND IT CAN FEEL
DIFFERENT, AND THE PEOPLE ARE EXTRAORDINARY, THEY ARE TOUGH
AND FUNDAMENTALLY SO, SO DECENT.
BUT THE LANDSCAPE IS BEAUTIFUL AND IT'S ON THE LIP OF THE
ATLANTIC.
IT'S ALSO WHERE I DID MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL JOB WHEN I WAS 20
OR 21.
AND I HAVE BEEN BACK THERE, TAKE MY KIDS THERE, SO THAT PLACE
HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART.
James: IS THAT OKAY, REG?
IT IS BEYOND CORRECT!
COLIN FARRELL, BRENDAN GLEESON!
STICK AROUND, CHRIS MARTIN IS HERE WITH STAND UP!
James: WELCOME BACK!
WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR THE GUEST WE HAVE COMING UP ON THE SHOW.

PLEASE WELCOME THE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CHRIS MARTIN!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Chris: THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, ALL RIGHT.
I AM BRITISH, BUT I LIVE IN AMERICA NOW!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] NOW HERE'S THE THING ABOUT
LIVING IN AMERICA, EVERY TIME I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE
HERE, I MAKE A ROOKIE ERROR.
AND THE BIGGEST ONE I MADE RECENTLY BY A MILE WAS I JOINED
SOME BRITISH FRIENDS FOR A BACHELOR PARTY IN LAS VEGAS FOR
FIVE DAYS.
[LAUGHTER] MY NEW FAVORITE THING BY A MILE
IS TELLING A BUNCH OF AMERICANS I WENT TO VEGAS FOR FIVE DAYS.
BECAUSE YOU GUYS ACT LIKE I JUST SAID I WENT TO FIGHT IN IRAQ FOR
NINE YEARS.
"DUDE, TOO LONG, FIVE DAYS, WAY TOO LONG, BUDDY.
YOU WANT TO DIE?" THEN WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO IS SHOW
OFF TO ME ABOUT HOW TINY A TIME PRIME YOU GO TO VEGAS FOR.
"WHEN I GO, 2 DAYS MAX, ONE NIGHT, TWO DAYS, THAT'S
ENOUGH VEGAS.
SOMETIMES I GOT TO THE CASINO ROLL ONE DICE, LEAVE
THAT'S IT.
STRIP CLUB, ONE NIPPLE, BYE VEGAS.
I DRIVE TO VEGAS, I GET PAST THE VEGAS SIGN, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED
AROUND, BECAUSE THAT IS ENOUGH VEGAS.
SO I GOT TO VEGAS WRONG IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
ONE THING I DID WRITE AS I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES, AND I AM THE
PROUD OWNER OF A STANDARD ISSUE TINY DOG.
I HAVE ONE OF THOSE LITTLE, LOOKS LIKE A REAL DOG GOT HIT BY
LIGHTNING ON "MARIO KART."
[LAUGHTER] I OWN A QUARTER OF A REGULAR
SIZE DOG.
AND I LOVE IT, BECAUSE I NEVER HAD ONE BEFORE.
SO I KEEP LEARNING, NOT JUST ABOUT THE DOG, BUT ABOUT THE
VET.
I'D NEVER BEEN TO A VET BEFORE I GOT THIS DOG, I USED TO THINK A
VET WAS LIKE AN EXPERT THAT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING ABOUT
ANIMALS.
BUT NOW I'VE BEEN A FEW TIMES I'VE REALIZED WHAT HAPPENS AT
THE VET IS YOU PAY THEM A LOT OF MONEY, AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY
GUESS WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH YOUR CREATURE.
I WAS LIKE WHAT'S WRONG?
THEY WERE LIKE, IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS.
AND I'M LIKE, YEAH, THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT HIM TO YOU TO GET THE
NUMBER DOWN TO ONE THING.
TO DO THAT YOU HAVE TO GET AN X-RAY.
AND I'M LIKE HOW MUCH IS AN X-RAY?
AND THEY ARE LIKE THINK OF THE BIGGEST NUMBER YOU'VE EVER
THOUGHT OF IN YOUR LIFE, AND THEN DOUBLET.
THAT'S HOW MUCH AN X-RAY IS.
AND I'M LIKE WHY IS AN X-RAY THAT EXPENSIVE?
SURELY I CAN SPEND $50 ON A SPIRIT AIRLINE TICKET, GET TO
TSA, PUT MY DOG ON THE CONVEYOR BELT THING THAT GOES THROUGH.
AND THEY CAN TAKE A PHOTO ON MY PHONE.
SOME OF YOU LAUGHING, SOME OF YOUR LIKE, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I WILL TRY IT MYSELF.
HERE'S THE THING, I KNOW THAT VETS ARE GOOD, AND MY VET IS
AMAZING.
THIS IS HOW I KNOW, SHE GAVE ME THE GREATEST DIAGNOSIS OF ALL
TIME LAST SUMMER.
I TOOK MY DOG AND, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS WALKING HIM DOWN THE
STREET COME EVERY FEW YARDS HE WAS FREAKING OUT AND SITTING
DOWN.
SO TO COME IN, TELL THE TECHNICIAN, THE VET SAYS HE
KEEPS DOING THAT?
CAN I ASK YOU ONE QUESTION?
DID HE USED TO HAVE A LOT MORE HAIR UNTIL QUITE RECENTLY?
AND I SAID YEAH, HE HAD WAY MORE HAIR LIKE THREE DAYS AGO, AND IT
WAS SUMMER, SO WE SHAVED IT ALL OFF.
SHE SAID THIS IS WHAT I THINK IS HAPPENING.
IF HE IS FREAKING OUT AND SENDING DOWN AND HE HAD A LOT OF
HAIR UNTIL RECENTLY, I THINK YOUR DOG IS SUFFERING FROM--
AND IT'S APPARENTLY NO MORE MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY THAN THIS--
FROM A BREEZY BUTTHOLE.
[LAUGHTER] AND WHEN SHE SAID THAT, I SAID,
CAN YOU REPEAT THAT AND TO LET ME RECORD IT ON MY PHONE?
BECAUSE IT IS NOT EVERY DAY A TRAINED MEDIC DIAGNOSES YOUR
CREATURE WITH A DRAFTY-- IT'S A REAL THING, IF YOUR DOG
HAS LOADS OF HAIR BLOCKING THAT AREA, AND YOU SHAVE IT AWAY AND
THE WIND GOES UP THERE, IT FREAKS THEM THE HELL OUT.
AND I'VE NEVER FELT MORE CONNECTED TO MY DOG THEN WHEN I
HEARD THAT INFORMATION.
[APPLAUSE] BECAUSE IF I WAS WALKING DOWN
THE STREET, AND UNBEKNOWNST TO ME, SOMEBODY HAD CUT A HOLE OUT
OF MY TROUSERS AND UNDERPANTS, AND I FELT THAT GUST, I WOULD
SI DOWN AND NEVER STAND UP EVER AGAIN.
GUYS, THAT IS MY TIME.
I AM NOT AN, THANK YOU!
