>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW" ALREADY IN
PROGRESS.
WE'RE HERE WITH HANK AZARIA.
HANK, YOU'VE GOT THE NEW SHOW "BROCKMIRE."
>> BROCKMIRE.
>> Stephen: WHO IS JIM BROCKMIRE?
>> JIM BROCKMIRE IS A BASEBALL ANNOUNCE WHO ARE TALKED LIKE
THIS -- I NOTICED ESPECIAL IN THE '70s WHEN I WAS GROWING
UP, STEPHEN COLBERT -- AND EVERYBODY HAS THEIR FULL NAME --
BACK TO YOU STEPHEN COLBERT.
YOU'RE NOT STEPHEN, YOU'RE NOT MR. COLBERT YOU'RE STEERCH STEPH
COLBERT.
I HOOKED ON TO THIS AS A MIMIC IN THE '70s.
THEY ALWAYS SOUND LIKE THIS WHEN THEY GO HOME, HAVE DINNER, HAVE
SEX WITH THEIR WIVES, ARGUE WITH THEIR GIRLFRIENDS, DO THEY CALL
IT?
DO THEY SAY STUFF LIKE, IF YOU'RE JUST JOINING US, WE GOT A
GOOOD ONE GOING HERE!
>> Stephen: HEY!
IT'S SUCH A PRETTY DAY, LET'S PLAY, TOO!
BROCKMIRE TAKING NO CHANCES, JUST TRYING TO GET A RHYTHM
EARLY IN THE MISSIONARY POSITION, OH!
AND A SURPRISE FINGER IN THE (BLEEP)!
AND BROCKMIRE IS IN THE LEAD!
HOA!
( PIANO RIFF ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: OH!
OH!
IT'S A KNUCKLEBALL!
>> I'M GOING TO STOP THERE.
I COULD GO ON.
>> Stephen: COULD GO ON.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: IN THIS CLIB, I
THINK IT'S THE BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SERIES.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOUR CHARACTER IS HAVING A ROUGH DAY.
>> YES, THIS IS WHERE THE SHOW STARTS.
HE HAS A MELTDOWN ON THE AIR, AS YOU WILL SEE.
HE HAS JUST WALKED IN ON HIS WIFE WITH ANOTHER MAN.
USUALLY HAS THREE OR FOUR BEERS.
TODAY HE HAD, LIKE, ABOUT A BOTTLE OF RYE, AND HE'S IN A BIT
OF A BLACKOUT DRUNK.
>> Stephen: AND HE'S CALLING A GAME.
>> HE IS CALLING A REAL PROFESSIONAL GAME IN
KANSAS CITY, HIS LAST ONE FOR AWHILE AS YOU WILL SEE WHY, AND,
YOU KNOW, ANOTHER DYNAMIC OF THESE GUYS THAT I LOVE IS YOU
WILL SEE IN ACTION HERE, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH SAY ANYTHING YOU
WANT AS LONG AS YOU GIVE THE COUNT RIGHT AFTERWARDS, AS LONG
AS YOU TELL THE BASEBALL COUNT, THOUGH YOU CAN'T QUITE GET AWAY
WITH THIS.
>> PLEASE IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I OPENED MY FRONT DOOR TO
FIND ABOUT HALF A DOZEN NAKED FOLKS SPRAWLED OUT IN MY LIVING
ROOM ENGAGED IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A DESPERATE AND
HUNGRY ACCOUNT OF LOVEMAKING AND RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF IT ALL
WAS MY WI -- MY WIFE LUCY.
SHE WAS WEARING A STRAP-ON AND HE WAS (BLEEP) OUR NEIGHBOR BOB
GREEN WALLED AND FOLKS I DO I MEAN (BLEEP).
COUNT THOSE, 3 AND 2!
>> DID YOU SAY STRAP-ON IN ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: A CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL.
A PROFESSIONAL TO THE END.
>> I BET THERE IS NEVER BEEN THIS MUCH BASEBALL DIRTY TALK ON
YOUR SHOW EVER.
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO THROW OUT OR -- A COLLEAGUE OF MINE, A GUY
NAMED DONNY FRANKS, WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO THROW OUT THE
CEREMONIAL FIRST PITCH AT WRIGLEY FIELD THE DAY AFTER THEY
CLINCHED THE PLAYOFFS AND I WOULD JUST BE SO HONORED IF JIM
BROCKMIRE COULD JUST CALL THE PITCH.
IF WE COULD PLAY THE FOOTAGE OF DONNY FRANKS THROWING THE BALL
OUT AT WRIGLEY, I WOULD BE SO HONORED IF JIM COULD CALL THE
PLAY.
>> YES, I SAW A LITTLE BIT OF THIS BACKSTAGE.
JIM, THERE HE IS.
DON GRAPHICS LOOKING LIKE A BEARD STEPHEN COLBERT WITH
'80s HAIR AND WHEN HE PULLS HIS LOT DOG OUT OF HIS PURR
VANES DEVICE, HE SHAKES SOMETHING OFF EVEN THOUGH
THERE'S NO CATCHER THERE, GOES INTO HIS WINDUP AND HERE COMES
THE PITCH!
AND IT'S WAY INSIDE, WAY OUTSIDE -- IT'S HORRIBLE, BUT
HE'S CELEBRATING LIKE HIS HAIR BAND JUST WON A BAT OF THE BANDS
CONTEST!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WHAT AN HONOR!
HANK, GOOD TO SEE YOU!
"BROCKMIRE" PREMIERES APRIL 5 ON I.F.C.
HANK AZARIA, EVERYBODY!
