>> James: Good evening ladies
and gentlemen, welcome to The Late Late Show.
Hope you all had a nice Monday.
We have a fun week of shows for you.
Tonight, we'll be chatting with the hilarious Will Arnett, and
later the very talented Maria Bakalova will be joining us, so
stick around.
How was our weekend, gang?
REG, HOW WAS SEDONA?
>> IT WAS REALLY COOL.
FAIRLY AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL.
JUST INSANE GEOGRAPHY.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
>> James: WHEN YOU GOT THERE, WERE YOU, LIKE, AH, I COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND WHY THEY NAMED A CAR AFTER THIS PLACE.
( LAUGHTER ) BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I IMAGINE.
AH, YEAH, IT'S A MID-SIZE, I GET IT, A RENTAL AT THE AIRPORT.
>> Reggie: YEAH.
IT WAS LIKE THE FIRST PROBABLY AMONG THE FIRST THINGS THAT I
THOUGHT.
>> Reggie: I THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.
>> Reggie: THAT'S KIND OF WHY I WENT UP THERE, I WAS, LIKE,
DOES IT LIVE UP TO THE NAME?
( LAUGHTER ) LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HEADLINES.
OVER THE WEEKEND, PRESIDENT TRUMP SEEMED TO ACCIDENTALLY
ADMIT DEFEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME, WHEN HE TWEETED...
"HE WON BECAUSE THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED.ù"
THAT'S RIGHT, TRUMP FINALLY ADMITTED BIDEN WON.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> James: BANG!
BUT I WILL SAY, TRUMP'S HANDLERS WERE
IMMEDIATELY LIKE, "PAY NO ATTENTION, IT WAS JUST A BRIEF
MOMENT OF SANITY."
( LAUGHTER ) TRUMP WON'T EVEN MENTION BIDEN
BY NAME, KIND OF WHEN A TEENAGER TALKS ABOUT THEIR EX
BEST-FRIEND. "WELL I WAS HAVING A GREAT TIME AT THE MALL UNTIL
SHE SHOWED UP."
"WHO?" "HER!"
BUT AFTER HE REALIZED WHAT HE HAD DONE, THE PRESIDENT LATER
TWEETED THIS, IN ALL CAPS...
"I WON THE ELECTION!" I'VE GOT TO SAY, YOU'D THINK
THIS WOULD BE BIGGER NEWS.
( LAUGHTER ) LISTEN, AS THE PARENT OF THREE
YOUNG CHILDREN, I CAN ASSURE YOU, WE'VE STILL GOT LIKE SIX
MORE STAGES OF TANTRUM BEFORE WE FINALLY GET HIM DOWN FOR BED.
( LAUGHTER ) HERE'S THE THING, SCREAMING
SOMETHING DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE.
IN FACT, IF YOU SAW A FRIEND TWEET IN ALL CAP "MY LIFE IS
GOING GREAT!" YOU'D IMMEDIATELY START TO WORRY.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT HE MAY BE SLOWLY ACCEPTING
HIS FATE BECAUSE, JUST HOURS LATER, TRUMP POSTED A MORE
SUBDUED, LESS SCREAMY VERSION OF THE SAME TWEET, WRITING...
"I WON THE ELECTION!" ( LAUGHTER )
LOOK AT THAT.
WITHOUT THE ALL-CAPS I CAN HARDLY RECOGNIZE THAT AS A TRUMP
TWEET.
( LAUGHTER ) ALTHOUGH HE DID RANDOMLY
CAPITALIZE "ELECTION" TO LET US KNOW HE HASN'T FORGOTTEN HIS
ROOTS.
( LAUGHTER ) YOU CAN REALLY SENSE HOW
DEFLATED TRUMP IS FROM HIS TWEETS.
HE'S HOURS AWAY FROM TWEETING...
(SAD) "WITCH HUNT OR WHATEVER.ù" ( LAUGHTER )
SURE, LOCK HER UP.
DO WHAT YOU WANT.
YOU ALWAYS DO.
( LAUGHTER ) >> JAMES: BUT SOME PEOPLE STILL
DON'T THINK IT'S OVER.
ON SATURDAY, A FEW THOUSAND TRUMP SUPPORTERS GATHERED IN
WASHINGTON D.C. TO PROTEST THE ELECTION RESULTS.
BUT THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY FALSELY CLAIMED ON
TWITTER THAT MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE ACTUALLY ATTENDED.
I MEAN, IF THIS IS HOW HIS AIDES DO MATH, THEN IT'S WONDER TRUMP
THINKS HE WON THE ELECTION.
THE PRESS SECRETARY EVEN TWEETED THIS PHOTO TO SUPPORT HER CLAIùu
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A MILLION PEOPLE, BUT KEEP IN MIND A LOT
OF THOSE GUYS ARE WEARING CAMOUFLAGE.
( LAUGHTER ) IT WAS KNOWN AS "THE MILLION
MAGA MARCH."
WHICH IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL NAME, "THE CRAZIES
THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE."
( LAUGHTER ) WHAT KIND OF FLOATS AND GIANT
BALLOONS WOULD YOU SEE AT "THE CRAZIES THANKSGIVING DAY
PARADE?" WHAT WOULD YOU GET THERE?
>> WE'RE TALKING THE CRAZIES THANKSGIVING PARADE?
>> James: YEAH.
WHAT KIND OF FLOATS?
>> James: WHAT SORT OF BALLOONS WOULD YOU SEE?
>> MAYBE A FLOUT OF MY EXWIFE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: HANG OPEN.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
>> AT THE CRAZIES THANKSGIVING PARADE?
>> James: YEAH.
THE KIND OF FLOAT WE MAY SEE?
>> James: YEAH.
HOW ABOUT MY EX-WIFE.
>> James: I STILL DON'T GET IT.
( LAUGHTER ) AND I DID THAT THING WHERE I
LAUGHED ALONG.
>> I THINK HE'S SUGGESTING HIS EX-WIFE IS CRAZY.
>> Reggie: SHE'S CRAZY.
NOT ONLY DOES SHE HAVE A COUPLE OF SCREWS LOOSE, SHE
DRIVES ME CRAZY.
( RIM SHOT ) ( LAUGHTER )
>> James: HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M MISSING.
( LAUGHTER ) I KNOW I'M IN THE MINORITY.
IAN SAID IT, I BELIEVE IT'S FUNNY, I JUST DON'T GET IT.
DO YOU GET IT, GUILLERMO?
>> I WOULD JUST SUGGEST MOVING ON.
( LAUGHTER ) LOOK, WHETHER IT WAS -- LOOK,
WHETHER IT WAS THOUSANDS OR A MILLION, THE IMPORTANT THING IS
THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS STILL ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GATHER IN
LARGE GROUPS WITHOUT MASKS RIGHT NOW.
( LAUGHTER ) IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA,
THE CITY JUST UNVEILED PLANS FOR THE NATION'S FIRST-EVER FLYING
CAR HUB.
HERE'S AN ARTIST'S RENDERING OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE
SO AN AIRPORT. THEY INVENTED AN AIRPORT.
IT'S BEING CALLED A "VERTIPORT."
AS IN (SERIOUS NEWS ANCHOR) "THERE WAS YET ANOTHER ACCIDENT
TODAY AT THE NATION'S FIRST VERTIPORT..."
( LAUGHTER ) LOOK AT -- BRING THAT UP!
HOW IS THAT A FLYING CAR?
IF YOU HAVE A TWENTY-FOUR-FOOT WINGSPAN, THAT'S NOT A CAR!
GOOD LUCK AT THE CARL'S JUNIOR DRIVE-THRU LANE.
( LAUGHTER ) HERE'S MY DEBIT CARD, SHOULD I
JUST THROW IT TO YOU?
( LAUGHTER ) WOULD YOU DO THIS, GUILLERMO?
YOU WERE TRYING TO SHOW ME THE WINGS DR. .
>> FLIP IN.
>> James: IT DOESENTS LOOK LIKE A CAR.
>> IT LOOKS LIKE A COMB.
>> Reggie: IT'S MADE BY LILLIAN.
IT'S A MULTI-PROPULSION SYSTEM KIND OF GROUND EFFECT VEHICLE.
IT'S HARD.
YOU CAN'T MAKE CARS LOOK LIKE CARS AND FLY.
I'LL SEE YA LATER.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: THAT'S TOO MUCH!
BUT THAT'S MY POINT, THEN, DON'T CALL IT A FLYING CAR.
>> Reggie: I AGREE.
>> James: CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE IF IT'S A FLYING
CAR, I WANT IT TO BE A SEDONA.
( LAUGHTER ) I WANT IT TO BE A SEDONA AND I
WANT IT STUCK IN TRAFFIC.
I DON'T WANT IT TO GO TO A VERTIPORT AND TAKE OFF.
I WANT TO BE ON THE 405 IN TRAFFIC AND BE LIKE, TWO HOURS,
FORGET THAT.
SEE YOU LATER, GUYS!
THAT'S A FLYING CAR.
>> Reggie: I AGREE.
>> James: AND FINALLY, JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, THE SNACK
COMPANY RITZ IS GIVING AWAY A GIANT TEN
INCH CRACKER MEANT TO BE USED AS AN EDIBLE HOLIDAY CHEESE BOARD.
HERE IT IS HERE. SO NOW YOU CAN BE LIKE, "DO I
WANT AN APPETIZER?
I REALLY SHOULDN'T. BUT I GUESS I CAN HAVE ONE CRACKER."
( LAUGHTER ) I LOVE THAT PEOPLE AREN'T
ALLOWED TO SHARE FOOD BECAUSE OF COVID AND RITZ IS LIKE, "BUT
WHAT IF YOU COULD EAT THE PLATE EVERYONE'S BEEN TOUCHING ALL
NIGHT LONG?!" ( LAUGHTER )
A TEN-INCH CRACKER.
IS IT PRACTICAL?
NO.
BUT IS IT INTERESTING?
ALSO NO.
THE CRACKER ISN'T FOR SALE.
IT'S BEING GIVEN AWAY THROUGH RITZ'S INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT.
WHICH EXPLAINS THIS ODD TWEET FROM TRUMP...
"I WON THE GIANT RITZ CRACKER!" ( LAUGHTER )
WE'RE SO EXCITED, MELISSA McCARTHY IS GOING TO BE ON THE
SHOW TOMORROW.
I'M NOT SURE IF YOU KNEW THIS, REG, BUT BACK WHEN THE WORLD WAS
STILL SEMI-NORMAL, MELISSA AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO
CHALLENGE A FEW OTHER CASTMATES OF HER UPCOMING FILM,

ABOUT YOUR BRILLIANT PODCAST JASON PATEMAN AND SEAN HAYES

THING IF YOU'RE DOING A COMMERCIAL FOR IT.

WITH ONE MISSION -- THIS FALL -- TAKE A RIDE -- INTO TOTAL
NONSENSE!
IT'S "SMARTLESS" WHEREVER YOU GET PODCASTS.

EXPLAIN WHAT THE SETUP OF THE PODCAST IS.
>> EVERY EPISODE, JASON OR SEAN OR I BRING ON A GUEST AND THE
OTHER TWO GUYS DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS.
IT WAS OUT OF LAZINESS SO WE DON'T ALL HAVE TO RESEARCH.
SO THE ONE GUY WHO BRINGS THE GUEST HAS TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON
THE GUEST AND THE OTHER TWO GUYS CAN JUST SHOW UP.
BUT THE TRUTH IS, IT'S REALLY JUST AN EXCUSE FOR US TO KIND OF
TAKE THE PISS OUT OF EACH OTHER.
THAT'S ALL WE WANT TO DO IS LAUGH AND GOOF AROUND BUT HAVE
PEOPLE AROUND THAT WE REALLY LIKE.
I CAN SAY THIS, I MIGHT AS WELL GET IT OUT, JAMES, YOU WERE ON

>> James: WELCOME BACK.
OUR NEXT GUEST IS THE BRILLIANT BREAKOUT STAR OF BORAT'S
SUBSEQUENT MOVIE FILM.
SHE PLAYS THE TEENAGE DAUGHTER NAVIGATING LIFE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
HAVE A LOOK.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN HELP YOU WITH.
>> I WANT THIS ONE WITH THE BABY ON IT.
>> THIS IS OUR LITTLE SECRET.
OKAY.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
( BURPING ) >> WE NEED A DOCTOR!
I HAVE A BABY INSIDE ME, AND I WANT TO TAKE IT OUT OF ME.
>> MM-HMM.
RIGHT.
>> James: PLEASE WELCOME THE INCREDIBLY TALENTED MARIA
BAKALOVA!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) HI!
>> HI.
>> James: HOW ARE YOU?
SUPER HAPPY, SURE NERVOUS.
EXCITED, MAYBE MORE NERVOUS THAN WHEN SHOOTING THE MOVIE.
>> NO, YOU CAN'T BE MORE NERVOUS WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING THE MOVIE
THAN TO BE HERE NOW.
WE SHOULD SAY THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME ON A LATE-NIGHT TALK SHOW.
>> YEAH.
AND WE'RE SO EXCITED THAT YOU'RE HERE.
WE'RE SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE.
EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO YOU SINCE THE FILM CAME OUT,
THE FILM IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE HIT, YOUR PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN
SINGLED OUT BY EVERYBODY.
WHAT'S LIFE BEEN LIKE SINCE THE FILM CAME OUT?
>> WHAT LIFE'S BEEN LIKE, I'M LUCKY TO LIVE HERE RIGHT NOW BUT
AT THE SAME TIME I'M LUCKY THAT IT'S NOT A GOOD THINGS BECAUSE
COVID SAVED ME.
I'M KIND OF WORRIED ABOUT IF COVID DOESN'T EXIST AND PEOPLE
DON'T WEAR MASKS THEY WILL PROBABLY RECOGNIZE ME AND
ESPECIALLY GIRLS ARE GOING TO SAY HELLO TO ME LIKE, HI!
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: I THINK THE REASON
PEOPLE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT YOU AND YOUR CAREER RIGHT NOW IS YOU
HAVE TO ALL OF US COME FROM NOWHERE.
YOU MADE A COUPLE OF FILMS IN BULGARIA BEFORE.
>> YEAH.
>> James: YOU HAVEN'T DONE A COMEDY OR IMPROV BEFORE, AND 600
OTHER ACTORS AUDITIONED FOR THIS PART.
TALK TO ME ABOUT THE AUDITION PROCESS FOR A FILM LIKE BORAT.
>> YEAH, I'M COMING FROM BULGARIA, BUT, ACTUALLY, WHEN I
DID THE RECORDING, I DID IT AT 5:00 A.M. AFTER THE UNIVERSITY
AND MY FRIEND SHOWED IT AS A JOKE.
I THOUGHT, IT'S NOT A REAL AUDITION THEY'RE GOING TO DO
HUMAN TRAFFICKING ON ME.
>> James: THAT'S HONESTLY WHERE YOUR MIND WENT.
>> YEAH.
>> James: THEN YOU SEND IN THE TAPE, YOU REALIZE YOU'RE NOT
BEING HUMAN TRAFFICKED.
HOW MANY AWE CIGSINGS DO YOU GO THROUGH BEFORE YOU AUDITION FOR
IMPROV WITH SACHA.
>> IT WAS AFTER MY GRADUATION AND I FINALLY HAD MY DIPLOMA AND
I'M IMPROVISING SOMETHING THAT MY DADDY IS THE BEST DADDY IN
THE WHOLE FLAT WORLD BECAUSE HE GIVES ME CIGARETTES, HE ALLOWS
ME TO DRINK AND EVERYTHING IS AMAZING.
SO I SENT ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER ONE AND PROBABLY TWO
MORE AFTER THAT.
I FLY TO ENGLAND, MY MOM WAS CRYING, SHE WAS, LIKE, AM I EVER
GOING TO SEE YOU AGAIN?
I WAS, LIKE, MAYBE.
MAYBE IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
BUT, AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS, LIKE, IT'S GOING TO BE MY FIRST
TIME TRAVELING ALONE, I HAVE TO DO IT.
I WENT THERE AND SACHA WAS THERE, AN THAT'S HOW I STARTED.
>> James: THERE WAS SO MUCH SECRECY SURROUNDING THE MOVIE, I
MEAN, AM I RIGHT THAT YOU COULDN'T EVEN TELL YOUR PARENTS
WHAT YOU WERE DOING WHILST YOU WERE FILMING THE FILM.
SO WHEN DID THEY KNOW?
WHAT DID THEY THINK WHEN THEY SAW THE FILM?
>> MY MOM -- MY MOM FaceTimeED ME AFTER SHE WATCHED THE MOVIE,
AND SHE WAS SO SAD.
( LAUGHTER ) HER EYES WERE FULL OF TEARS.
SHE WAS CRYING FOR MAYBE TWO HOURS BECAUSE SHE'S KIND OF A
MASOCHIST, OBVIOUSLY, SHE WATCHED IT TWICE, AND SHE WAS
EVEN MORE SAD.
( LAUGHTER ) SHE WAS, LIKE --
( CRYING ) -- TUTAR -- IT'S SO SAD!
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: ONE OF THE MOST
TALKED ABOUT SCENES WAS YOUR INCIDENT WITH RUDY GIULIANI.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE FILMING THAT INTERVIEW?
>> NERVE RACKING.
MY HEART WAS RACING AND I WAS NERVOUS.
I WAS SCARED.
NOT SCARED SCARED BECAUSE SACHA WAS IN THE CLOSET, BUT --
>> James: FOR SURE.
AND WHEN SACHA OR BORAT BURSTS OUT AND WHEN HE'S DOING ALL
THOSE THINGS AND RUDY GIULIANI LEAVES, ARE YOU AND THE CREW,
LIKE, YEAH, GREAT, THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S HOW IT WORKS OUT.
IS THAT HOW IT WORKED OUT AT THE END OF A SHOOT DAY FOR ONE OF
THOSE SCENES?
>> RUDY GIULIANI DID ACTUALLY CALL THE POLICE, BUT WE DID
NOTHING ILLEGAL.
>> James: SURE.
SO WE LEFT THE PLACE TOGETHER, AND SO HOW WE CAN RUN
TOGETHER AND WE'RE HAPPY.
IT'S LIKE A FAMILY MOMENT.
>> James: SO WHEN YOU KNOW THAT HE'S CALLED -- WHEN YOU
KNOW THAT RUDY GIULIANI'S CALLED THE POLICE, DO YOU HAVE TO GET
OUT OF THERE QUITE QUICK?
>> YEAH.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: SO YOU'RE, LIKE,
HE'S CALLED THE POLICE AND HE'S PACKING UP ALL THE EQUIPMENT AND
YOU'RE IN A VAN AND YOU'RE GONE?
>> YEAH.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: WELL, I GOT TO TELL
YOU, I THINK YOUR PERFORMANCE IN THE FILM IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
AND IT'S WORTHY OF ALL OF THE PRAISE YOU'RE GETTING IS
ABSOLUTELY DESERVED.
