-How are you?
-It's good, Seth. What's happening?
-I mean, this is incredible.
You know, we talked about this last time you were here,
but you are now in the middle of shooting
the 20th season of "SVU." -Believe it or not.
-20 years! That's incredible!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-And I might have said it before,
but I only came on the show to do four episodes.
-Yeah.
-And now here we are in the 20th season.
If we can get to the next season,
which I'm sure we will, we'll have the record
for the longest-running drama in television history.
-It's incredible. You mentioned -- yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You mentioned you were only supposed to be on
for four episodes.
You've now been on so long,
your wife, Coco, has been on three episodes.
Just from being married to you,
she's almost caught up to what you originally were gonna be.
-Just for hanging out in the dressing room.
They'll be coming up with a script, and they'll go,
"Okay, we need a blonde. She needs big boobs.
Not too big, kind of like Coco's."
And they go, "Why don't we just ask Coco, you know?"
And next thing you know, she's in it,
and so she's got a SAG card, benefits.
It's worked out. -Do you support it?
Are you excited when she's gonna to do an episode?
-I mean, definitely, definitely.
But it's not something she ever expected.
They just come knock on the dressing-room door and said,
"Coco, would you take this role?"
She definitely rolls with it, yes.
-For people who are watching at home,
acting is not usually that easy. -It's not that easy.
They don't usually just show up
and knock on the door and offer you a part.
-No, it's not that easy, no.
-And one thing that certainly has not been easy this year is,
you had to be shooting outside in this weather,
this New York weather, which has been very intense recently.
-Well, a couple weeks ago, last week, it was 6 degrees.
And I was shooting outside with Jennifer Esposito.
She was guest-starring on the show, and we almost died.
[ Laughter ]
You know, and it's funny, 'cause we talk to people,
they go, "That's fake snow, and that's fake cold."
I'm like, "What is fake cold?"
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, it's difficult, because your brain goes into,
like, survival mode.
So, your brain is saying, "Get the hell out of the cold,"
and you're trying to remember lines.
So there's lots of levels of acting going on there.
Yeah, but you're really trying to kill yourself.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
Well, your brain both kicked in to survival mode
and thought it was a good idea
to film a video of you guys outside.
-Oh, you saw it?
-Yeah, let's take a look real quick.
-His face froze. -Okay.
Me and Jennifer Esposito are standing out here, freezing.
-Freezing my ass off! -It's 6 degrees.
People think that we're in fake cold.
-Not fake cold.
I'm stuffed here, frigging jacket.
[ Laughter ]
-You also -- yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
That's real cold right there.
You have a new member of the family.
You guys got a new dog.
-Yeah, we got a new puppy, named Princess Alexis.
-Uh-huh. -And we had Spartacus,
famous Spartacus, from our reality show.
He passed a couple years ago.
So we had a place missing in our family.
So, King Maximus now has a little girlfriend
named Princess Alexis. -Uh-huh.
-And, yeah, it's crazy now.
She's got little puppy teeth,
so she's biting Chanel a little bit.
-Here's a picture of all of them together, your three.
There's Chanel, there's Alexis, there's Maximus.
-And Chanel's in Alexis' bed. She is --
Everyone's trying to claim area.
So, Max jumps in one.
And the poor puppy's just sitting there, like,
"I know I'll find my area sooner or later."
-Did you know it was a -- Once you had a dog pass away,
did you know eventually you were gonna get another one?
-Definitely. -Yeah.
-Definitely. So it was just time.
And we were in California.
And Coco ran into somebody who had this puppy.
And she comes back to the hotel room.
I was out there recording, and she comes back,
and she tells me this whole story
about how beautiful the puppy is.
I'm like, "So, where is it?"
Like, I know. And she's all, "I wanted your approval."
I'm like, "No, you didn't want my approval.
That puppy is coming.
That pitch you just gave me, that puppy will be there."
-And it's a good life to end up with you and Coco.
I mean, lookit. This is Maximus' birthday.
-Yeah, Max had a little party.
-And I would just say, not all dogs have birthdays like that.
[ Laughter ]
That's a very -- They're enjoying themselves.
[ Applause ]
I love dogs. I love dogs.
I don't -- I don't trust people that don't like dogs.
-Yeah, I agree with that. -Unless you --
[ Cheers and applause ]
Unless you can tell me some traumatic childhood experience
where you got bit or something.
Other than that, if you just don't like dogs,
you're suspect to me. I don't trust you.
There's something wrong. -Yeah.
I think that's fair. -Dogs are the best.
We don't deserve them.
