25th AND IN STORES NOVEMBER 2nd. >> Jason: HE IS AN EMMY AWARD
WINNER KNOWN FOR ROLES ON TV
SHOWS LIKE THE WEST WINNING, GET
OUT, AND GODZILLA, KING OF THE
MONSTERS.
MONSTERS. AND NOW BRADLEY WHITFORD IS
STARRING AS A PROFESSOR.
>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
WILL NOT BE THE LAST THING I
HEAR ON EARTH.

♪ ♪[SINGING]♪
♪[SINGING]♪ >> STOP!
>> STOP! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
PIANO GIRL, YOU’RE SLIDING UP TO
EACH NOTE WHICH RUINS THE
LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
LISTENING EXPERIENCE. STAND UP STRAIGHT SO WE CAN HEAR
YOU.
YOU. MR. ROGERS, DO YOU HAVE A BUG IN
YOUR EAR?
YOUR EAR? >> NO.
>> NO. >> DON’T DO THAT.
>> WHITNEY HOUSTON WE HAVE A
PROBLEM, YOUR CONFIDENCE EXCEEDS
YOUR TALENT.
YOUR TALENT. SNAKE TATTOO, GEORGE FREDERICK
CANDLE DIDN’T KNOW ANYONE NAMED
HAL.
HAL. >> Jason: WOW!
HE JOINS US LIVE FROM NEW YORK.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
GOOD TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN.
>> IT’S A PLEASURE.
>> Jason: HERE’S THE FIRST
QUESTION.
QUESTION. THIS SHOW IS MUSICAL IN NATURE,
DO YOU SING, AND IF SO, WHAT IS
YOUR GO-TO AT KARAOKE?
>> IT’S A DARK SONG CALLED "SHE
LEFT ME FOR JESUS."
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] >> OR ANY ELTON JOHN SONG IS
WHERE I GO TO.
>> Jason: IF YOU PLAY THAT SONG,
"SHE LEFT ME FOR JESUS", YOU
WOULD GET HER BACK.
>> GOOD TO KNOW.
>> Jason: TELL US ABOUT THIS NEW
CHARACTER ON NBC.
WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
>> THIS SHOW HAS BEEN SUCH A
BLAST TO WORK ON.
WE HAVE A WONDERFUL CAST, ANNA
CAMP.
CAMP. THIS IS A FLAT-OUT COMEDY WITH A
MUSICAL ELEMENT.
MUSICAL ELEMENT. THE MUSIC ISN’T THE MAIN DISH.
THE COMEDY IS THE MAIN DISH.
THE COMEDY IS THE ENTREE.
AND THE CHARACTER IS A BLAST.
WHEN WE MEET HIM, HE’S GOT A
BRIGHT FUTURE BEHIND HIM AND
LOST EVERYTHING PROFESSIONALLY
AND PERSONALLY, AT A VERY
RECKLESS PLACE AND THROWN IN
WITH THESE PEOPLE WHO HE DOESN’T
THINK HE WANTS TO CONNECT WITH,
BUT THEY END UP ACTUALLY MEANING
A LOT TO EACH OTHER.
THE BIG THING THAT ATTRACTED ME
TO THIS IS THAT IN THESE
POLARIZED TIMES, I WANTED TO DO
SOMETHING FUNNY AND SHOW
RADICALLY DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND
HOW THEY TRANSCEND THAT.
>> Jason: YOU’RE BILLY MADISON
AND THEN HAND MAID’S TALE, WHEN
DID YOU GO FROM BEING THAT GUY,
I LIKE HIM IN THAT THING, TO
BRADLEY WHITFORD, STAR OF STAGE
AND BIG SCREEN?
>> I DON’T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER
THAT.
THAT. I’M ACTUALLY REALLY GRATEFUL.
I’VE HAD A CAREER THAT DID NOT
EXPLODE WHEN I WAS 22.
I WAS ALWAYS WORKING A LOT, SO
MY EXPERIENCE OF BECOMING KNOWN
IS A BOILED FROG SITUATION.
IT’S BEEN GRADUAL, WHICH I THINK
IS THE HEALTHIER WAY TO GO.
>> Jason: I’M TOLD WE HAVE NO
MORE TIME WITH YOU, WHICH
STINKS, BUT I WANNA TELL YOU --
>> STORY OF MY LIFE.
>> Jason: CABIN IN THE WOODS,
YOU TWO NEED TO GET TOGETHER
AGAIN.
AGAIN. >> WE HAD SO MUCH FUN.
AND THE IMPROVISING WAS A BLAST.
WATCH THE SHOW!
>> Jason: WE WILL.
PERFECT HARMONY IS TOMORROW
NIGHT.
NIGHT. AND WHEN WE HAVE TO SHRINK THE
