>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK!
FOLKS, MY NEXT GUEST IS AN ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM THE LEFTOVERS, AND
GHOSTBUSTERS AFTERLIFE, PLEASE WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW,"
CARRIE COON! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
♪ ♪ >> Carrie: WHAT A NICE WEL
WELCOME. THANK YOU!
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO HAVE YOU, I DIG THAT SUIT.
OF >> Carrie: WHEN YOU'RE ON WITH THE VP, YOU HAVE TO WEAR A
POWER SUIT. >> Stephen: HERE'S THE THING,
I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO INTERVIEW YOU BEFORE, BUT I'M
SURE WE KNOW A TON OF PEOPLE IN COMMON BECAUSE MY SORT OF
FORMATIVE ACTING TIME BACK WHEN I WAS AN ACTOR WAS IN CHICAGO.
I WAS THERE FOR 11 YEARS. >> Carrie: I KNOW, BEFORE MY
TIME. I'M SO YOUNG.
>> Stephen: WELL, THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE --
THANK YOU. I WAS JUST TELLING THESE PEOPLE.
>> Carrie: I KNOW, I HEARD THAT PART B PART.
>> Stephen: FIRST PERSON I SAW ON STAGE.
>> Carrie: EXACTLY, ME TOO, I'M NOT.
THE LAST TIME TJ AND DAVE WERE IN NEW YORK, TRACY AND MICHAEL
SHANNON IMPROVISED WITH THEM, THE LAST TIME I SAW THEM.
>> Stephen: SO, DID YOU OPEN CHICAGO OR GROW UP IN CHICAGO?
>> Carrie: I GREW UP OUTSIDE AKRON, OHIO, USED TO BE WOW BUT
NOW IT'S ON THE EDGE. THEN I WENT TO THE RENOWNED
ACTING PROGRAM THAT'S ALSO GONE. AND NOW THE DIRECTORS I WAS
WORKING WITH AT THE OUTDOOR SHAKESPEARE THEATER.
>> Stephen: LIKE OVER THERE, TOM IS FROM CHICAGO.
WE LOVE CHICAGO HERE. WHAT IS IT YOU LOVE ABOUT
CHICAGO AND WHAT ARE YOUR MOST FORMATIVE MEMORIES?
>> Carrie: I LOVE THE LAKE AND I USED TO PLAY SOCCER BY THE
LAKE AND THEN JUMPED IN. VERY IDYLLIC IN THAT WAY.
AND ALL THE NORTHWESTERN WAY WHE WAITRESSES THERE.
THEN MY HUSBAND AND I WOULD GO THERE AND HAVE THE CHICKEN FOR
$12.95. >> Stephen: NICE TONIGHT
SPONSOR. AS YOU SAY, YOUR HUSBAND IS A
PRIZE-WINNING ACTOR TRACY LET'S WHO BY THE WAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE ON THE SHOW TWICE. WAS ON MARCH 13TH SHOW THAT WAS
CANCELED AND THEN BOOK TO MY GUN BACK IN THE THEATER AND HE WAS
MY GUEST THE NIGHT I GOT COVID. IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL.
HOW DID YOU TWO MEET? >> Carrie: IT'S CALLED A
SHOW-MANCE. YUP, --
>> Stephen: THERE YOU ARE. >> Carrie: THAT PLAY ABOUT
MARRIAGE. I WALKED IN THE DOOR AND HE SAID
I'M VERY GLAD YOU'RE HERE. I'M SO GLAD I'M HERE.
I THOUGHT WE WERE BEING VERY SUBTLE ABOUT ALL OF IT BUT THEN
AS SOON AS WE TOLD OUR DIRECTOR AND COSTARS THAT IT WAS ON, THEN
IT'S GOING TO BE FULL ON AND THEY'RE LIKE YEAH, BIG SURPRISE.
APPARENTLY THE CHEMISTRY WAS OBVIOUS FROM THE BEGINNING.
>> Stephen: WONDERFUL THING ABOUT STAGES ANYTHING CAN
HAPPEN. IT'S NOT A CONTROLLED
ENVIRONMENT. YOU'VE GOT YOUR PREPARATION COME
UP WITH THE AUDIENCE CAN CHANGE THINGS UP.
DO YOU HAVE A SCARIEST MOMENT ON STAGE?
>> Carrie: I MEAN, I DID FALL FLAT ON MY FACE ONE TIME.
THE SCARIEST PART WAS, I DID ONE OF MY HUSBANDS PLAY BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC AND WE BROUGHT THE PLAYBACK FROM THE PANDEMIC TO
OPEN IN THE THEATER BECAUSE IT WAS READY TO GO.
I HAD MY SECOND CHILD SO IT'S 11 WEEKS AFTER I GAVE BIRTH I WAS
BACK IN REHEARSALS. OUT OF MY MIND HERE THAT THERE'S
A 10-12 MINUTE SCENE IN THE PLAY AND SO I WAS JUST PARADING
AROUND AS A CHICAGO RITE OF PASSAGE TO BE NAKED ON STAGE.
YOU'VE DONE IT. >> Stephen: I HAVE, I WAS 19
THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON STAGE. >> Carrie: 19 IS A GREAT AGE
TO BE NAKED. [LAUGHTER]
TRY 41 AFTER TWO KIDS. >> Stephen: THERE IS NO
INTERNET. >> Carrie: IT'S TRUE, YOU'VE
GOT TO BE CAREFUL OF THAT THING. TRACY SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE
LIBERATING AND IT WAS, AND BEING NAKED WAS THE LEAST OF MY
WORRIES. THE PLAY IS SO HARD TO COME IN
THE END OF THE PLAY IS SO HARD THAT IT BECAME A RELAXING
MOMENT. >> Stephen: WERE YOU A
WAITRESS? >> Carrie: I'M THE WORST
WAITRESS YOU'VE EVER SEEN. I GOT A WAITRESSING JOB ONCE AND
I TOLD THEM THAT THE PLACE IN MY HOMETOWN THAT I WORKED IN BURNT
DOWN AND SO THEY COULD NOT CALL FOR REFERENCES.
>> St>> Stephen: YOU HAD TO LIEO YOUR JOB AT BOB EVANS?
>> Carrie: I KNOW, I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.
>> Stephen: I HAD TO FALSIFY MY PASSPORT TO WORK AT CRACKER
BARREL. >> Carrie: TERRIBLE.
I'M SURE THIS WOMAN SUPPORTING HER FAMILY, SHE SAID ARE YOU
RIGHT-HANDED OR LEFT-HANDED? I SAID RIGHT HANDED, AND SHE
SAID SWITCH YOUR TRADE. AND I WAS DOING EVERYTHING
WRONG. EVERYTHING WAS BACKWARDS.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE NOW STARRING IN --
>> Carrie: YOU'RE A GOOD WAITER APPEARED >> Stephen: I
WAS PRETTY GOOD, IT WAS HARD TO
PUT ME IN THE WEEDS. >> Carrie: DID YOU SEE THAT?
MAYBE IT WAS CLOSED? >> Stephen: YES, BECAUSE
YOU'RE SO MUCH YOUNGER THAN I AM.
HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO SAY THAT?
>> Carrie: ONE MORE, I AM SO YOUNG.
>> Stephen: THE NEW MOVIE IS CALLED "BOSTON STRANGLER."
DO YOU ENJOY TRUE CRIME? >> Carrie: I DO.
YES WE ARE ALWAYS AFRAID OF BEING MURDERED, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD
TO BE VIGILANT. >> Stephen: DO YOU THINK TRUE
CRIME KEEPS YOU ON YOUR TOES? WHAT DID YOU KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING
ABOUT THE CASE BEFORE? >> Carrie: I KNOW THE TONY
CURTIS MOVIE, I KNEW HE WAS THE KILLER OF ALL OF THE WOMEN.
BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE, HE WAS NEVER CHARGED FOR ANY OF THE
MURDERS AND ONLY BEEN CONNECTED BY DNA EVIDENCE TO ONE OF THE
MURDERS SO WE DON'T KNOW IF HE'S ONE OF THE KILLERS.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I DIDN'T KNOW THERE'S TWO FEMALE JOURNALIST
WHO HELPED BREAK THE STORY AND WARNED THE WOMEN OF BOSTON THEY
MIGHT BE MURDERED. THEY'VE BEEN COMPLETELY ERASED
FROM THE STORY. IT'S BEEN WHEN WE HAVE A CLIP
HERE AND CAN YOU TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CLIP?
>> Carrie: RIGHT HERE, KEIRA KNIGHTLEY WAS RECEIVING A LOT OF
DEATH THREATS FROM THE CRIME AND RECEIVED ANOTHER DEATH THREAT.
>> SOMEONE CAME TO THE HOUSE? >> PUT IT IN THE MAIL SLOT.
>> JUST ME AND THE KIDS HOME. >> DO YOU THINK IT'S A DERANGED
COP WAS MAX >> I'M NOT PLEASED ABOUT IT EITHER WAY
>> WHERE YOU GOING? >> I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
THAT WAS A STUNT. I KNOW YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR
PAPERS, BUT AT WHAT COST? YOU'RE GOING TO GET US ALL
KILLED. TAKE IT OUT!
>> THEY ARE NOT PUTTING OUR PICTURE IN THE PAPER ANYMORE.
[LAUGHTER] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Carrie: LOVELY. >> Stephen: PLEASE COME AGAIN.
SO MUCH MORE TO TALK ABOUT. "BOSTON STRANGLER" PREMIERES
FRIDAY ON HULU. CARRIE COON, EVERYBODY!
