>> JAMES: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM "FOUNDATION," WHICH IS NOW
STREAMING ON APPLE TV+, WITH NEW EPISODES OUT EVERY FRIDAY.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE HUGE DEBUT AT "FOUNDATION."
IT'S BEEN PICKED UP FOR A SECOND SEASON.
MORE THAN THAT, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT A SEAL OF QUALITY THIS IS.
IT'S REGGIE WATTS' FAVORITE TELEVISION SHOW.
FOR REAL.
HE'S NOT LYING BECAUSE, ON SATURDAY NIGHT, WE WERE OUT AND
DRIVING IN REGGIE'S CAR AND HE SAID TO ME, HAVE YOU WATCHED
"FOUNDATION."
HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE IT, REG?
>> I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE CONTROVERSIAL, BUT IT'S WHAT
"STAR WARS" AND "STAR TREK" WISHES IT WAS.
>> WOW!
>> James: FIGHTING TALK.
TELL US WHAT THE SHOW IS IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY.
>> WELL, I PLAY THE EMPEROR OF THE GALAXY.
( LAUGHTER ) WHICH IS AN ABSURD IDEA IN,
LIKE, ANY CASE, BUT IT TAKES PLACE IN THE DISTANT, DISTANT
FUTURE WHEN MAN KIND HAS MOVED OFF THIS PLANET AND SPREAD OUT
THROUGH THE ENTIRE MILKYWAY GALAXY, AND MY EMPEROR HAS
CHEATED DEATH AND HAS HELD CONTROL OVER THIS VAST TERRITORY
BY CLONING HIMSELF.
SO AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THERE IS ME THE SITTING EMPEROR, THERE'S
AN EMPEROR IN TRAINING AND THEN THERE'S THE RETIRED EMPEROR, AND
THE SCENE YOU JUST SAW WAS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN ME AND,
WELL, MYSELF, BASICALLY, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL THE SAME MAN.
>> James: NOW, THERE'S SO MUCH INTEREST IN THE SHOW FROM THE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE TRAILER, PEOPLE ONLINE STARTED CALLING
YOU THE INTERGALACTIC EMPEROR DADDY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> MMM, THAT'S GREAT.
>> James: HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU HEAR THAT?
>> I CAN GET USED TO THAT, NICE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, ACTUALLY.
WHAT IS AN EMPEROR GALACTIC DADDY, YOU KNOW?
>> James: I THINK IT COULD BE THE NAME OF YOUR CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY FOR BUILDING HOUSES.
HOMES BUILT BY THE INTERGALACTIC EMPEROR DADDY.
PEOPLE WOULD GO FOR IT.
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HUGE SERIES, HAILEE, YOU'RE IN A
SERIES THAT CAUSED A HUGE AMOUNT OF INTEREST.
YOU'RE IN MARVEL'S "HAWKEYE."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
>> James: HOW STRESSFUL IS IT HAVING TO KEEP EVERYTHING A
SECRET ABOUT A SHOW WITH SUCH A LEVEL OF INTEREST?
>> IT SUCKS.
>> James: YEAH.
IT'S SO HARD.
YEAH, NO, WHEN I'M -- YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT
SOMETHING, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
THE WHOLE THING IS VERY MUSH-MUSH, LOCKDOWN.
WHEN I WENT TO THE LOT FOR THE FIRST TIME I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE
THE JOB YET, I WAS SIMPLY GOING TO HAVE A MEETING.
I WENT UNDERGROUND.
I WENT THROUGH THESE SECRET ENTRANCES.
IT WAS THE MOST WILD THING, I FELT SO COOL AND I DIDN'T EVEN
HAVE THE JOB YET.
THAT EXPERIENCE ALONE, I WAS, LIKE, I COULD WALK AWAY AND BE
COOL WITH IT.
>> James: THIS IS A WHOLE MARVEL UNIVERSE.
>> MM-HMM.
>> James: WHAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> James: IF YOU TOLD US -- I WOULDN'T DARE FIND OUT.
>> James: BUT IF YOU TOLD US ANYTHING ABOUT THE "HAWKEYE"
SHOW NOW, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO TELL ME, I'M SAYING WHAT WOULD THEY DO?
>> I DON'T -- I DON'T KNOW.
YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> James: SOUNDS LIKE NOT A FUN PLACE TO WORK.
>> WELL -- >> James: CAN I BE HONEST?
IT SOUNDS -- >> WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE WORK.
IT'S PLAY.
>> James: IT'S NOT PLAYFUL.
DON'T SAY ANYTHING!
NO, IT'S DEFINITELY HARD.
AGAIN, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
I REALLY DON'T AND I DON'T WANT WANT TO KNOW.
>> I ALWAYS MAKE A GAME WITH IT.
PLAY FOXY WITH IT.
THAT'S THE THING.
MAKE A GAME OF, NO, I CAN'T SAY, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW.
>> James: CAN I SHARE THE THING YOU TOLD ME ABOUT IT?
>> WHAT?
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: THE THING YOU TOLD
ME ABOUT IT.
>> NO.
WAIT -- >> James: I'M GOING TO SAY IT.
YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK.
STOP!
>> James: I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT
( WHISPERING ) >> STOP.
>> James: I WON'T SAY IT.
THIS IS THE END OF MY CAREER.
>> James: LIPS SEALED.
GREAT.
>> James: REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS
EVENING?
>> Reggie: YEAH, I GUESS IF YOU WERE ABLE TO TRAVEL TO ANY
PARALLEL WORLD, MEANING A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THIS WORLD
OR THE PAST OR THE FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF
WANTING TO EXIST OR GO?
>> DEEP.
OOOH, A PARALLEL WORLD.
HMM.
>> WOW.
I'M AWFULLY HAPPY WITH THIS ONE.
I THINK THIS IS A REALLY NICE PLACE TO LIVE, YOU KNOW, EARTH,
2021.
SO I WOULD LIKE IT TO LOOK A LOT LIKE THIS, BUT MAYBE WITHOUT
COVID.
( APPLAUSE ) I THINK I WOULD MAKE THAT WISH.
AND PEOPLE TO BE AS FUN BUT A LITTLE MORE SENSIBLE.
RIGHT.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE GOT AN LITTLE NUTS.
>> AS FUN BUT MORE SENSIBLE.
I'M WITH YOU.
I LIKE THE WORLD YOU'RE CREATING.
>> LET'S GO.
HOW DO WE GET THERE?
>> Reggie: I'LL GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS AFTERWARDS, BUT IN
THE MEANTIME, THOSE ARE CORRECT ANSWERS.
>> James: ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
HAILEE STEINFELD, LEE PACE.
COLDPLAY HERE WHEN WE COME BACK!
