I'LL FOLLOW THE.
>> Stephen: NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE A VICTIM OF A CRIME ON THE
WAY TO DO THIS SHOW?
>> FASHION, FASHION DISASTER.
I LEFT MY SUIT ON THE PLANE.
>> Stephen: LEFT IT?
>> WELL, TO BE DETERMINED.
>> Stephen: TO ME, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS A THEFT.
>> IT SLOWLY BECOMES STUFF OF LEGEND IN THE LAST 12 HOURS,
WHICH IS SO SILLY.
>> Stephen: DID YOU STEAL THIS AND --
>> NO, BUT I THINK I BORROWED IT FROM THE GOOD PEOPLE AT ARMANI,
THEY'RE VERY NICE.
WHEN A FASHION DISASTER STRIKES -- .
>> Stephen: WILL YOU INTRODUCE ME?
I WANT SOMETHING FROM THEM.
>> WHAT IS IT?
LOOKS LIKE A GUCCI, YEAH, NOT TOO SHABBY.
>> Stephen: NOT TOO BAD.
GUCCI, ARMANI, CIAO, BELLA.
>> I LEFT THE PLANE, I TURNED AROUND RIGHT WHEN I WENT TO
BAGGAGE CLAIM.
I LEFT.
I HAD THEM HANG IT FOR ME I JUST TOOK A CARRY-ON AND A SUIT.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE IN FIRST CLASS, MY FRIEND.
BACK IN COACH, THEY SAY, "WOULD YOU LIKE US TO COMPOST THAT FOR
YOU?" [ LAUGHTER ]
>> BUT, YEAH, I ASKED AND THEY SAID, OH, I WASN'T THERE AND,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
>> Stephen: I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU.
ON "THE O.C." YOUR CHARACTER, SETH, WAS DESCRIBED -- COULDN'T
GET A GIRL DESCRIBED AS SOMETHING OF A DORK, OK?
THAT IS HIM.
COULDN'T GET A GIRL, OK?
>> IN FAIRNESS, IT'S PRETTY DORKY ITSELF.
>> Stephen: IT'S PRETTY DORKY?
NO, THIS IS ME IN HIGH SCHOOL.
THAT'S DORKY.
OK?
I'M SORRY.
>> YOU KNOW, PUT ON THE BRACES, TAKE OFF THE MAKEUP AND THAT'S
VERY MUCH THE FOX TELEVISION VERSION OF YOU.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
THIS IS WHO YOU'RE PLAYING ON "THE O.C.."
BUT WERE YOU ACTUALLY -- WERE YOU ACTUALLY A DORK WHEN YOU
WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL?
>> NOT -- NOT REALLY, BUT I WASN'T VERY COOL EITHER.
MY HIGH SCHOOL WAS ACTUALLY -- IT WAS SO MELO -- I
WAS ONE OF THE FIRST GRADUATING CLASSES THAT STARTED.
I STARTED AS A FRESHMAN.
IT WAS NEW.
T FELT LIKE A COMMUNITY COLLEGE COLLEGE.
I DON'T REMEMBER THERE BEING A SOCIAL HIERARCHY AT ALL, SO I
WAS JUST -- MY GROUP DID OUR OWN THING.
>> Stephen: IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER THERE BEING A SOCIAL
HIERARCHY, THAT MEANS -- >> WELL.
>> Stephen: THAT MEANS -- YEAH, YOU KNOW.
THAT'S LIKE A LION GOING, "I DON'T REMEMBER ANYBODY GETTING
EATEN IN THE JUNGLE."
>> I DON'T REMEMBER A PROM KING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> Stephen: WASN'T YOU?
>> CERTAINLY WASN'T ME, ALTHOUGH I WAS TALKING TO A BUDDY TWO
DAYS AGO WHO WE WERE FRESHMEN WATER POLO PLAYERS -- THAT WAS
THE ONLY YEAR I PLAYED.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE ON THE WATER POLO TEAM?
>> AND -- AND BEFORE -- IT WAS A VERY EMBARRASSING THING.
I WASN'T -- I HADN'T GONE THROUGH PUBERTY WHEN I WAS A
FRESHMAN AND, UM, HE RECALLS GETTING HUNG BY HIS SPEEDO, HE
AND ANOTHER KID, AND I WASN'T, I WASN'T ONE OF THOSE KIDS.
SO THERE WAS -- I GUESS THERE WAS SENIORS HANGING KIDS BY
THEIR SPEEDOS.
>> Stephen: AND NOT YOU?
>> AND NOT ME.
IT'S OK.
I MADE IT OUT ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE A SURFER, RIGHT?
>> CORRECT.
CORRECT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU STILL SURF?
>> I DO.
I DO.
I HURT MYSELF RECENTLY.
SIX WEEKS AGO.
HURT MY KNEE.
THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: HOW'D THAT HAPPEN?
>> YOU I WAS JUST KIND OF A -- OH, AH.
>> Stephen: I DON'T SPEAK THE LINGO, MY FRIEND.
>> I LANDED ON IT WRONG.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU AFRAID OF SHARKS OR ANYTHING?
IS THIS IN CALIFORNIA YOU'RE SURFING?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AREN'T YOU AFRAID?
ON THE SHARK MAP THERE -- THAT'S WHAT I CALL THE SURF
BOARD -- WHEN YOUR ARMS AND LEGS ARE OFF, YOU LOOK LIKE A GIANT,
JUICY SEAL.
>> I GREW UP SURFING.
NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
NEVER SAW A SHARK.
I STOPPED SURFING FOR MY 20'S.
WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE WATER INFREQUENTLY, THEN ALL OF A
SUDDEN I HAD THIS -- IT'S SORT OF AN -- IT'S RATIONALE BUT
STATISTICALLY IT'S IRRATIONAL AND THEN I DO HAVE A LITTLE
BIT -- I PUT MY FEET UP SOMETIMES ON THE BOARD WHEN I'M
WAITING BUT IT'S STILL A -- YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MANY MORE THINGS
TO BE SCARED OF.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
>> THAN SHARKS.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
THIS IN NO WAY -- >> WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE.
>> Stephen: IT WOULD BE A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE.
I HOPE NO ONE PLAYS THIS FOOTAGE LATER OF YOU.
>> FOR A LAUGH -- .
>> Stephen: IT WOULD BE FUNNY.
>> IT WOULD BE FUNNY.
IT WOULD BE REALLY FUNNY.
>> YOU'VE GOT MY CONSENT.
>> Stephen: ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT WOULD PLAY THIS FOOTAGE
ND THEN THEY'D PLAY THEIR MUSIC MUSIC.
>> I WON'T SAY WHO DIED TODAY BUT IN ALL THE HEADLINES, THEY
ALWAYS GO SO-AND-SO "DEAD!" HOW ABOUT LIKE, "DIES AT 80?"
THEY JUST STAMP "DEAD" ON THE NEWS NOW AND I DON'T LIKE IT.
>> Stephen: I DON'T LIKE IT EITHER.
>> TEAM WILDER IS WHO I'M REFERRING TO.
>> Stephen: SO SAD, WONDERFUL COMEDIC ACTOR AND WONDERFUL MAN,
EVIDENTLY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ]
AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO SHARKS INVOLVED.
WELL, ADAM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
ADAM BRODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY ST. PAUL AND THE
BROKEN BONES.
