( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE HERE WITH OUR FRIEND SETH ROGEN.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS POLITICAL, BUT IT'S
GEOPOLITICAL.
THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU WAS AT THE OLD GIG, AND THAT'S WHEN THE
MOVIE "THE INTERVIEW" WAS NOT COMING OUT.
>> THAT NIGHT LITERALLY.
>> Stephen: SONY HAD JUST SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO RELEASE "THE
INTERVIEW" BECAUSE THE NORTH KOREANS, MAYBE WE'D GO TO WAR.
IT WAS REALLY SERIOUS.
YOU AND JAMES FRANCO MADE THE MOVIE THAT WE FORGET WAS AN
INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT.
>> IT WAS.
>> Stephen: THERE WERE THREATS OF EXPRIENS WAR AND PEOPLE'S
CAREERS WERE RUINED.
NOW WHEN YOU SEE OUR PRESIDENT OVER THERE SHAKING HANDS GOING,
"GREAT GUY."
HOW DOES THAT FEEL FOR TO YOU WATCH THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME
INSIGHT INTO WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF.
>> YES, IT IS SURREAL.
BECAUSE OUR MOVIE IS ABOUT AN EGO MANIACAL TV HOST WHO GETS
INVITED TO NORTH KOREA TO MEAT ITS LEADER, AND HE DOES IT IN AN
ATTEMPT TO GAIN LEGITIMACY ON A GLOBAL SCALE, AND WHEN HE GETS
THERE HE'S TRICKED INTO THINKING HE'S A SUPER-NICE GUY.
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE!
>> Stephen: THAT'S TRUE.
>> EXCEPT IN THE MOVIE, WE HAVE A THIRD ACT WHERE HE FINDS OUT
HE'S BAD.
EXCEPT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
THAT PART DIDN'T HAPPEN.
AND IT'S ALSO CRAZY.
WE DID A LOT OF RESEARCHINAR MOVIE, AND I WATCHED THE
PRESIDENT TALK TO HIM AND I'M LIKE, I KNOW I DID MORE RESEARCH
THAN THIS GUY.
>> Stephen: HE SAYS IT'S MOSTLY ABOUT ATTITUDE.
>> YEAH!
IT'S SO WEIRD.
KIM JONG-UN DID CALL ME A GANGSTER FILMMAKER, WHICH I KNOW
HE MEANT AS AN INTULT OF SULT BUT IT IS THE COOLEST THING
ANYBODY HAS SENT ABOUT ME TO THIS DAY.
>> Stephen: A NUCLEAR ARMED MAD MAN CALLING YOU A GANGSTER
FILM MAKE THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, YOU WERE HERE TO TALK
ABOUT "PREACHER."
IS THIS SEASON TWO OR SEASON 33?
>> SEASON THREE IS STARTING.
>> Stephen: IT HAS BEEN NOTED MORE THE LEVEL OF GORE.
>> IT'S A GORY SHOW.
>> Stephen: EXPLAIN WHAT "PREACHER" IS?
>> IT'S VERY COMPLICATED.
IT'S ABOUT A PREACH WHO ARE IS IMBUED WITH THE SPIRIT OF AN
OFFSPRING OF AN ANGEL AND A DEMON WHICH GIVES HIM THE POWER
TO TELL ANYONE WHAT HE SAYS THEY'LL HAVE TO DO IT.
AT THE SAME TIME, HE'S FOUND OUT THAT GOD HAS GONE MISSING FROM
HEAVEN, AND HE TEAMS UP WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND, WHO IS A HIT WOMAN,
AND HIS BEST FRIEND, WHO IS A VAMPIRE.
AND THEY GO TRYING TO FIND GOD.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: IT'S-- IT'S AN ETERNAL STORY.
>> EXACTLY.
IT'S BEEN TOLD SO MANY TIMES WE THOUGHT WE'D DO OUR STAB AT IT.
>> Stephen: OKAY, SO IT'S PRETTY GORY.
>> IT'S BEEN PROTESTED AS WELL.
>> Stephen: REALLY.
>> BY SEVERAL RELIGIOUS GROUPS.
>> Stephen: VAMPIRES.
>> VAMPIRES HAVE PROTESTED IT.
JESUS IS A CHARACTER ON THE SHOW.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
IS HE A GOOD GUY?
>> IT'S THE INBRED OFFSPRING OF JESUS.
>> Stephen: OH, GOOD GOD.
SO YOU CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
>> Stephen: YES, I CAN.
OKAY.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT THIS SEASON, SETH ROGEN?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> WELL, HITLER A A BIG CHARACTER ON THE SHOW.
AND I'M NOT JOKING.
MERCEDES WON'T ADVERTISE.
BUT, YEAH, THIS SEASON-- IT'S TRUE.
THEY WON'T.
THAT'S AN ACTUAL LEGITIMATE -- >> Stephen: I FEEL YOU.
>> THAT'S A PROBLEM WE HAVE.
BUT THIS SEASON, JESSIE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE SHOW WHAT I'M
ABOUT TO SAY MAKES NO SENSE.
JESSE RETURNS TO ANGELVILLE -- >> Stephen: WHAT!
>> EXACTLY, HE'S REUNITED WITH HIS FAMILY, WITH JODIE, WHO IS
THE MAN WHO KILLED HIS FATHER.
AND HE'S BEING THROWN BACK INTO AN OLD LIFE THAT HE'S BEEN
TRYING TO HIDE FROM FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP HERE.
DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHAT'S HAS GONE.
>> JESSE, HAS RETURNED TO HIS HOMETOWN AND HE'S TRYING TO
AVOID PEOPLE FROM HIS PAST AS HIS COUSIN IS TRYING TO STEAL A
PIECE OF A SOUL-STEALING MACHINE.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: JUST RUN THE CLIP.
>> DO I KNOW YOU?
>> MAYBE.
YOU TAKE COMMUNION?
CHURCH OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN?
>> NO, MAN, I DON'T KNOW NO BLESSED VIRGIN.
>> THEN I GUESS YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
>> THAT'S TOO BAD, PREACHER, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS TRUCK.
>> JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, RIGHT, KID?
GOT YOUR TRANSPORT.
LET'S GO.
( TIRES SQUEALING ).
>> Stephen: PREACHER.
>> IT'S HARD TO FIND A CLIP.
>> Stephen: WE'VE GOT TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK.
WE'VE GOT TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK.
WHEN WE COME BACK, SETH AND I-- SETH AND I ARE GOING TO HOT BOX.
STICK AROUND.
