FIVE STATES WENT TO THE POLLS TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES.
AH, YES, THE EXCITEMENT OF MIDTERM STATE PRIMARIES.
PUT THE COFFEE ON, HONEY, IT'S GONNA BE AN ALL-NIGHTER.
IDAHO, KENTUCKY, NORTH CAROLINA, OREGON, AND PENNSYLVANIA ALL
HELD PRIMARIES TODAY.
WHICH, OF COURSE, IS NEWS TO THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN
IDAHO, KENTUCKY, NORTH CAROLINA, OREGON, AND PENNSYLVANIA.
ONE OF THE MOST-WATCHED RACES IS IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE DOCTOR OZ
IS TRYING TO WIN THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR SENATE.
MY APOLOGIES TO DOCTOR OZ, BUT I CAN'T CROSS PARTY LINES.
I'M A DOCTOR PHIL GUY THROUGH AND THROUGH.

AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WILL DELIVER THE COMMENCEMENT
ADDRESS AT THE COAST GUARD ACADEMY TOMORROW.
AH, YES, THE COAST GUARD.
THE MINI MARINES.
THE OLD NAVY.
THE BAY WATCH.
BUT, HONESTLY, SENDING IN KAMALA HARRIS MAKES SENSE.
COMPARED TO THE NAVY, THE COAST GUARD IS VERY MUCH THE VICE
PRESIDENT OF AQUATIC MILITARY BRANCHES.
ISN'T IT?
THE COMMENCEMENT IS GOING TO BE GREAT.
THE THEME OF HER SPEECH TO THE COAST GUARD IS HELP OUR
ADMINISTRATION IS A SINKING SHIP.
HELP US NOW!
[ LAUGHTER ] IAN, IF YOU WERE GIVING A
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS, WHAT KIND OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE?
>> IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT TACO BELL, GET IT IN BEFORE YOU TURN
30 BECAUSE, AFTER THAT, IT'S DIFFERENT.
>> James: YEAH, YEAH.
[ LAUGHTER ] YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
NO ONE'S SAYING THAT -- >> YOU'VE GOT TO SPEAK TRUTH TO
THESE PEOPLE.
>> James: AND IT'S TO THE DAY.
IT'S TO THE DAY.
IF YOU GO OUT ON YOUR 29 29th BYRD DAY AND HAVE TACO
BELL 11:45, YOU'RE FINE.
IF YOU HAVE IT 12:05, THAT'S THE NEXT THREE DAYS FOR YOU.
>> James: IT'S A DIFFERENT THING.
IT SUDDENLY BECOMES A CRY FOR HELP.
>> YEAH, I USED TO GET TACK TO BELL TO DEAL WITH HANGOVERS, AND
WHEN I DO NOW, IT FEELS LIKE THE COVERUP IS WORSE THAN THE CRIME.
>> James: CORRECT.
THAT'S TRUE.
[ LAUGHTER ] IN OTHER NEWS, TOMORROW, QUEEN
ELIZABETH WILL BE HOSTING THE 2ND OF THREE GARDEN PARTIES AT
BUCKINGHAM PALACE, BUT DUE TO MOBILITY ISSUES, THE QUEEN WILL
NOT BE ATTENDING.
ALSO, IT'S HER DAY TO DO THE PALACE LAUNDRY.
[ LAUGHTER ] FOR YOU AMERICANS, A ROYAL
GARDEN PARTY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK
IT IS.
WHATEVER YOU HAVE IN YOUR BRAIN RIGHT NOW, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
A TYPICAL GARDEN PARTY WILL HOST AROUND 8,000 GUESTS WITH AROUND
27,000 CUPS OF TEA, 20,000 SANDWICHES AND 20,000 SLICES OF
CAKE SERVED.
IT'S FUN TO SHOW UP AND BE LIKE OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME, BUT
WHAT'S EVERYONE ELSE GONNA EAT?

"THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS" HAS CONFIRMED THAT ZEUS
THE GREAT DANE IS NOW THE WORLD'S TALLEST DOG.
ZEUS LIVES IN TEXAS AND STANDS AT OVER THREE-FEET, FIVE INCHES.
HERE HE IS HERE, BIG DEAL, IF IT'S NOT A BULLDOG WHO CAN RIDE
A SKATEBOARD, I'M NOT INTERESTED.
[LAUGHTER ] CAN WE SEE THAT PHOTO AGAIN?
THAT IS TRULY A BIZARRE PICTURE.
NOT BECAUSE THE DOG IS SO BIG, BUT BECAUSE THEY'VE CHOSEN TO
POSE LIKE THEY'RE ON A BLIND DATE.
[ LAUGHTER ] I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
THOUGHT OF, LIKE, WE WANT TO SHOW EVERYBODY -- LET'S BE
HONEST, LET'S CALL IT WHAT IT IS, IT'S A BIG [ BLEEP ] DOG,
RIGHT?
[ LAUGHTER ] IT'S A BIG DOG, A WORLD RECORD
HOLDER?
HOW SHOULD WE DO IT?
PUT IT ON THE COUCH.
NONE OF THIS IMPRESSES ME.
NONE OF IT.
I JUST WATCHED A FILM ABOUT A DOG WHO WAS WAY BIGGER THAN
THAT, AND HE WAS RED.
[ LAUGHTER ] IF I'VE SAID IT ONCE, REG, I'LL
SAY IT AGAIN, THE COLOR OF THE DOG IS IRRELEVANT.
>> Reggie: SURE.
>> James: IT'S IRRELEVANT.
I'LL NEVER STOP SAYING IT, ROB.
TRY CUT THIS OUT, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.
THAT FILM AND THE BOOK SHOULD JUST BE CALLED CLIFFORD THE BIG
DOG, PARENTHESES, IT'S ALSO RED BUT NO ONE MENTIONS IT.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> A DOG JUST KNOCKED OVER MY
GARAGE!
IT'S RED!
>> James: IRRELEVANT.
THE SIZE OF A [ BLEEP ] BUS, MAN.

>> James: NO.
AND I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
REGGIE AND I, WE HANG, WE WALK AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WE

DO YOU WANT TO COME WITH ME TO A VIRTUAL REALITY TECH CANNABIS
EVENT IGLOO IN THE DESERT?
AND I WILL BE, LIKE, I'M FREE, AND WE ROCK WITH THAT.
WE JUST GO WHERE THE WIND TAKES US.

>> James: OH.
THAT'S EXCITING.
BUT THE TRUTH IS, I'M FROM LOS ANGELES, BORN AN RAISED HER-
[ CHEERING ] >> YEAH.
HELL, YEAH.
I LOVE AN L.A. CROWD MORE THAN ANYTHING, I DO, BECAUSE THEY'RE
TOUGH.
I LOVE A CHALLENGE.
>> James: HOW ARE THEY TOUGH, WHY?
>> BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT EASILY IMPRESSED.
L.A. CROWDS, YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE, LIKE, AN ACTOR,
OH, I LOVE THAT SHOW.
THEY SAY, OH, YOU'RE AN ACTOR IN SO ARE ALL OF US.
MY DOG WAS IN A PET SMART COMMERCIAL LAST WEEK, YOU'RE NOT
SPECIAL.
SO I LOVE THAT.
I LOVE THAT.
YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOT TASTE, I LOVE 'EM.

EARLY IN YOUR CAREER, WE SHARED THIS IN COMMON, YOU WAITED
TABLES.
>> YES.
>> James: TALK ME THROUGH YOUR VIBE WITH THE CUSTOMERS.
>> I WORKED AT A PLACE CALLED THE BULL MOOSE SALOON -- YEAH,
SOUNDS AS AWESOME AS IT WAS.
[ LAUGHTER ] I DID MAKE FRIENDS FOR LIFE BUT
IT'S ON 44th AND 9th IN "HELL'S KITCHEN," WHICH IS A
NOTORIOUSLY KIND PART OF TOWN WHERE EVERYONE IS JUST GENERALLY
NICE.
I HAD A TABLE THAT CAME IN ONE TIME, AND I GUESS I WASN'T,
LIKE, THE FRIENDLIEST.
I WAS, LIKE, A REALLY GOOD WAY TREES, SO GOOD AT MULTI-TASKING,
LIKE, MEMORIZE, YOU WANTED POPPERS BUT NOT THE CURLY FRIES,
GOT IT.
AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO GO AROUND THE TABLE.
BUT THIS ONE GENTLEMEN WAS, LIKE, HEY, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO
SMILE?
[ AUDIENCE REACTS ] >> James: OH...
THIS WAS BEFORE I WAS OFFICIALLY MARRIED.
I WAS IN A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP.
I DIDN'T HAVE KIDS.
AND I SAID TO HIM, WOULD YOU SMILE IF YOUR HUSBAND JUST LEFT
AND YOU HAD THREE MOUTHS TO FEED?
[ LAUGHTER ] AND I WAS LIKE, [ BLEEP ].
YOU ENJOY YOUR FRIES.
[ LAUGHTER ] BUT IT'S "HELL'S KITCHEN,"
>> James: CORRECT.
WE THROW DOWN.
>> James: THAT'S IT.
WE THROW DOWN.
>> James: HANNAH, WE'VE GOT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON SEASON TWO
OF "HACKS."
WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS SEASON?
>> THIS SEASON, THE GIRLS HIT THE ROAD.
A LOT OF REALLY BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, INTEREST
ENSEMBLE, I WOULD SAY, SHINES, AND IT'S JUST A LOT MORE OF WHAT
WE LOVED FROM SEASON ONE, A LOT OF LAUGHS, A LOT OF TEARS, A LOT
OF LOVE.
SO, YEAH, IT'S A LOT MORE OF THE SAME BUT BETTER, IF YOU CAN
BELIEVE IT.
>> James: IT'S SUCH A GOOD SHOW.
I LOVE THE SHOW TAKES PLACE IN LAS VEGAS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE FILMING THERE.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANY CRAZY EXPERIENCES WHILE YOU HAVE BEEN
THERE?
>> YOU KNOW, VEGAS HAS REALLY BEEN A CURSED AREA FOR ME,
PERSONALLY.
>> James: OKAY.
I HAVE A WEE VEGAS STORY.
I WENT THERE WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS FROM COLLEGE, MY COLLEGE
ROOMMATES, ELIE, BELA AND SASHA A YEAR AFTER WE GRADUATED, SO WE
DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND.
WE SPLIT ONE HOTEL ROOM.
WE WERE, LIKE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TO DINNER OR SEE A SHOW,
WE'LL GET INTO THE CLUB FREE AND HIT THE WHOLE FOODS HOT BAR ON
OUR WAY INTO TOWN.
[ LAUGHTER ] AND, SO, WE GET TO THE HOTEL,
THE CARPET IS DAMP.
[ LAUGHTER ] WHAT'S THAT IS A QUESTION WE CAN
ALL ASK OURSELVES FOR THE REST OF TIME.
AND WE GO OUT -- WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE AT THE CLUB.
YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO IMPRESS MY FRIENDS, MAKE THEM LAUGH.
I MOUNT A STRIPPER POLE, AND I ATTEMPT A MOVE THAT CAUSES ME TA
DISC IN MY BACK.
[ LAUGHTER ] SO I LIMP BACK TO THE ROOM WITH
MY GIRLS, AND AT ABOUT 2:33 A.M., I BEGIN TO -- I AM
AWOKEN BY A COLD SWEAT.
I RUN TO THE BATHROOM, AND IT WAS LIKE THE SCENE FROM
BRIDESMAIDS IN THERE.
THE HOT BAR GOT ME, FOLKS.
I HAD A LITTLE FOOD POISONING.
[ AUDIENCE REACTS ] YEAH, VEGAS WASN'T MY JAM.
I SWORE NEVER TO GO BACK AND I DIDN'T GO BACK TILL WE FILMED
FOR "HACKS," AND THEN THAT, I BELIEVE, BROKE THE CURSE.
RECENTLY ME AND REGGIE WENT TO VEGAS FOR ONE NIGHT.
WE SAW MUSICIANS PENN AND TELLER.
THAT WAS SICK.
VEGAS, I'VE HAD A JOURNEY WITH IT DID, NICE, BUT SINCE IT'S THE
REGGIE MAGIC.
>> James: IT'S COME BACK AROUND.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A CLIP FROM "HACKS."
SEASON TWO IS STREAMING NOW ON HBO MAX.
>> SPEANS DOESN'T HAVE A COMP HERE SO WE WERE ASKED TO CLEAR
IT OUT.
BUT I PUT ALL THE OVERFLOW IN THESE BAGS.
>> COOL.
EVERYTHING'S NICE AND LUGES IN THERE.
>> James: YEAH.
I HAD A CAD BURY CREAM EGG IN THERE.
THEY'RE KIND OF HARD TO GET NOW.
IS IT IN THERE.
>> James: ARE YOU SERIOUS?
>> James: STICK AROUND, MORE OF THESE TWO WHEN WE COME BACK,
EVERYBODY.
>> HAVE YOU BEEN TO A NEW STAND RECENTLY, YOU KNOW A RESEARCH
TRIP?
NO, I'M DONE WITH ALL THAT.
I'M GOING TO DO WHAT GLENN DOES, WRITE ABOUT ISLANDER, GET
PROMOTED.
I KNOW YOU WANT THIS FOR ME BUT I WOULD RATHER NEVER PUBLISHED A
MAGAZINE THAN CAPITULATE TO SOMEONE'S BAD IDEA.
>> WHAT IF IT ISN'T A BAD IDEA.
A MAGAZINE FULL OF NAKED MEN IS DEEPLY INEGGS SCAPABLY SILLY.
>> WILL YOU LOOK IN YOUR EASTER BASKET, ALREADY?
YES, OPEN IT UP, I BOOKMARKED THE PAGE.
>> AT LAST A MALE NUDE CENTER FOLD.
>> IT'S TELEVISION STAR BURT REYNOLDS.
>> WILL PEOPLE LIKE THIS?
IT'S A SENSATION.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] [ BAND PLAYING ]
>> James: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM "MINX," THE ENTIRE 1ST SEASON IS
AVAILABLE NOW ON HBO MAX.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SHOW!
>> THANK YOU.
>> James: PEOPLE REALLY LOVE THIS SHOW.
TELL US WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY.
>> IT'S BASICALLY ABOUT THE FIRST EVER ADULT MAGAZINE FOR
WOMEN.
S CENTER FOLDS WITH NAKED MEN.
BUT THE ARTICLES ARE GOOD, RIGHT?
>> James: YEAH.
THAT'S WHY WE LOOK AT IT, FOR THE ARTICLES.
I PLAY THE SISTER OF THE FEMINIST WANNA BE GLORIA STEINEM
TYPE EDITOR WHO WANTS TO PUBLISHED THIS MAGAZINE BUT
NOBODY'S BUYING IT, SO SHE PAIRS UP WITH JAKE JOHNSON, WHO IS
PLAYING A PORN MANAGER, WHO CASED YOU HAVE TO HIDE IT.
THEY DECIDE TO DO A CENTER FOLD.
I PLAY THE SISTER.
I'M A PASADENA HOUSEWIFE WITH THREE KIDS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
ELSE.
I ENCOURAGE HER TO GO FOR IT AND I GET SWEPT UP IN THE WORLD.
>> James: IS SHOW IS GREAT.
THIS ISN'T AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
YOU ARE SURROUNDEDBY PENNIES ON STAGE.
THERE ARE [ BLEEP ] EVERYWHERE ON THIS SET.
>> YES.
>> James: DOES THAT EVER GET AWE WARD?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S A CLOSED SET.
MOST OF THE TIME THEY'RE SHOOTING WITH THE PENNIES OR AS
YOU SAY [ BLEEP ] -- [ LAUGHTER ]
-- [ BLEEP ].
IN THE PILOT, THERE'S A MONTAGE, IT'S A [ BLEEP ] MONTAGE, ANDI
WASN'T [ BLEEP ] FOR THAT, [ BLEEP ], [ BLEEP ], [ BL,
IT'S JUST A COLLECTION OF [ BLEEP ].
BUT I WAS ON SET, WE FILMED WITH A GENTLEMEN PLAYING THE DAVID,
BUT THE JOKE WAS HIS P PENIS WAS NOT TINY.
IT'S NATE'S FIRST DAY ON SET, THE ACTOR THAT PLAYED DAVID,
SPENT TWO HOURS GETTING A PROSTHETIC PENIS PUT ON.
IT WAS HALFWAY DOWN HIS THIGH.
HONESTLY, I COULDN'T LOOK AT HIM IN THE EYES.
WE GOT USED TO IT, MUCH LIKE YOU WOULD GET USED TO WORKING AT A
PORN MAGAZINE AND BY THE END I WAS HIGH-FIVING HIS PENIS.
[ LAUGHTER ] [ APPLAUSE ]
>> James: YOU POSTED THIS PHOTO OF YOURSELF WHEN YOU WERE
ON THE NEWS AND YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT BEING AN EAGLES FAN.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERER?
>> THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS TO THE WORLD.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> James: YOU POSTED IT.
I THINK YOU POSTED IT.
>> YES.
TOUCHE.
>> James: HAVING THEM ON THE SHOW ONE DAY, I'M KEEPING IT FOR
MYSELF.
>> YEAH, SO THIS IS FROM THE SUPER BOWL WHEN THE EAGLES BEAT
THE PATRIOTS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
I AM FROM LOS ANGELES.
MY DAD IS A PHILADELPHIA FAVORITE, AND, SO, I WAS
BRAINWASHED FROM A YOUNG AGE TO LIKE PHILADELPHIA SPORTS, AND
THE EAGLES HADN'T WON A SUPER BOWL SINCE THE YEAR I BELIEVE
1964.
AND THIS WAS THE MOMENT THEY WON.
IT WAS OUTSIDE AN EAGLES BAR IN SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA.
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS LOVE IN THE AIR.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THAT PHOTO, YOU KNOW, MY DAD IS LOOKING AT
ME IN A WAY THAT IS PURE PRIDE, PASSION AND INTENSITY.
MOMENTS BEFORE THIS, I WATCHED HIM, I THINK HE WAS ALONE, LOOK
TO THE SKY AND SAY, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, DAD.
>> James: OH, I LOVE THAT!
THROUGH TEARS.
>> James: I LOVE THAT.
SO IT WAS REALLY FUN.
THAT NIGHT, I WATCHED TWO PEOPLE MEET, LIKE SHAKE HANDS, AND BY
THE END OF THE GAME, THEY WERE JUST MAKING OUT.
>> James: OH, I LOVE IT!
REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> Reggie: YES, I DO.
TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO -- [ DRUM ROLL ]

>> YES!
>> Reggie: YOU KNOW I LOVE QUESTIONS, RIGHT.
>> WE KNOW THAT, YEAH.
>> Reggie: DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

I ACTUALLY DO -- I ACTUALLY DO HAVE A QUESTION.
I DON'T USUALLY GET ASKED DURINT A QUESTION?
>> I DID HAVE A QUESTION.
WHAT IF THERE ARE TWO RED DOGS IN THAT TOWN, AND THAT'S WHY UP

[ LAUGHTER ] [ APPLAUSE ]
>> James: ALL RIGHT, I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Reggie: IN THIS PARTICULAR
