♪ ♪ ♪
>> HELLO, SIR.
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> YOU, TOO.
>> THE LAST TIME WE WERE GOING WAS A YEAR AND A HALF AGO-- THAT
LONG AGO-- NOVEMBER OF 2016, I THINK?
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TENSION OF, LIKE, DOING SHOWS ON
ELECTION NIGHT, HOW STRESSFUL IT WAS, THAT PARTICULAR ELECTION
NIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> ALTHOUGH, I WAS ON PUBLIC ACCESS, SO YOU HAD MORE STRESS
THAN I DID.
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
PUBLIC ACCESS, THE CAMERAS MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ON.
THAT'S PRETTY STRESSFUL, TOO.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> Stephen: NOW WE'RE INTO THE PRESIDENCY, FOLLOWING THAT
ELECTION.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THESE DAYS TO KEEP CALM?
>> I MEAN, THERE'S NOT REALLY MUCH YOU CAN DO.
I TRIED ONE OF THE CLASSICS.
I TRIED YOGA FOR THE FIRST TIME RECENTLY.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> DID NOT GO WELL.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
DID YOU GO TO, LIKE, A HOT YOGA SITUATION?
>> NO, I DON'T HAVE THE GUTS FOR THAT.
I WAS ACTUALLY ON VACATION.
I WENT TO SRI LANKA WITH MY WIFE.
SHE TOLD ME I NEEDED TO TRY YOGA.
>> Stephen: SRI LANKA SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLACE TO START.
NATURAL.
MOST PEOPLE START IN SRI LANKA.
>> THEE FOUND A PLACE AT THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN.
YOU HAD TO CLIMB HUNDREDS OF STEPS.
THERE IS A BUDDHIST SANCTUARY, A GIANT STATUE OF BUDDHA, GOING
INTO THE PAVILION.
EVERYTHING LINING UP TO BE THE ULTIMATE FIRST YOGA EXPERIENCE
AND IT WENT DOWNHILL, MAN.
>> Stephen: DID YOU NOT BRING A MAT?
>> NO, THEY HAD THE MATS THERE.
THE GUY-- THE CLASS WAS UP AND RUNNING.
PEOPLE WERE DOING VERY HARD THINGS.
I WAS AT THE BACK-- I MADE IT VERY CLEAR AT THE START--
EVERYBODY HAD TO SPRUCE THEMSELVES.
I SAID, "I'M JUST TAG ALONG WITH MY WIFE.
I DON'T DO THOSE."
AND THE GUY SAID IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WANT WANTS TO DEMONS
DOWNWARD DOG?
SOMEONE DID IT.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO DEMONSTRATE IT, MAYBE A GUY WHO
IS LESS EXPERIENCED?
AND I SAID OH, NO.
AND HE SAID, "MAYBE YOU WOULD HELP US OUT."
AND I THOUGHT, "HERE WE GO."
AND I'M DOING IT, AND HE GOES TO THE WHOLE CLASS, "I WOULD LIKE
SOMEONE TO GIVE THIS MAN A NUMBER GRADE ON HIS DOWNWARD
DOG."
HE GOES, "ON A SCALE OF 0-100, HOW WOULD YOU SAY HE'S DOING?"
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER DONE IT.
AND SOMEONE SAID, "I'D GIVE HIM A 200 BECAUSE HE'S TRYING REALLY
HARD.
>> Stephen: OOOOH, THAT'S NICE.
>> AND THE ENSTRUCTURE GOES, "NO, SOMEONE GRADE THIS MAN,
0-100.
>> Stephen: I DIDN'T REALIZE THE BOUD AFS SUCH A (BLEEP).
>> IT WAS NUTS.
IT WAS NUTS.
AND SOMEONE OUT OF PITY WENT, "I DON'T KNOW, A 50, A 60."
AND THE INSTRUCTOR GOES, "I WOULD GIVE HIM NEGATIVE POINTS."
THAT'S WHEN I FELL DOWN.
HE WAS LIKE AN EVIL CHRIS HARDWICK.
HE WAS LIKE, "NEGATIVE POINTS."
REMEMBER "AT MIDNIGHT?" >> Stephen: NO, WAS THAT ON
COMEDY CENTRAL.
BASIC CABLE.
>> YOU CAN CUT THIS PART OUT.
>> Stephen: NOW, THIS LEADS TO THE ONE OBVIOUS QUESTION: COULD
I SEE YOUR DOWNWARD DOG, PLEASE?
>> IT WON'T BE GOOD.
>> Stephen: WE WILL BE THE JUDGE.
>> IT WON'T BE GOOD.
>> Stephen: WE WILL BE THE JUDGE.
MAY WE SEE YOUR DOWN WARD DOG.
>> IT WON'T BE GOOD.
I CAN'T REALLY DO IT.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN DO IT.
YOU'VE GOT THE RIGHT SHOES FOR IT.
ONE OF THESE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THAT'S PRETTY
GOOD.
HOLD ON.
STAY THERE!
HOLD ON!
>> THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I DID IT.
THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I DID IT.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO WE THINK?
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: THANK YOU, YOU CAN GET UP NOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IF YOU CAN GET UP.
THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> IT WAS, LIKE, 10 TIMES BETTER THAN I DID ON THE MOUNTAINTOP.
I GOT TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE GUY AFTER THE CLASS.
THE JERSEY IN ME REALLY BUBBLED TO THE SURFACE.
>> Stephen: DID IT PUT YOU IN A SPIRITUAL HEADSPACE?
HAVE YOU, LIKE, YOU HAVE-- LIKE, DID YOU GET ANYTHING SPIRITUAL
OUT OF IT?
>> NO, I MEAN I WAS MOSTLY JUST SHOUTING AT A MAN AND HAD TO BE
SEPARATED FROM HIM.
SPIRITUAL-- I'M NOT THE MOST SPIRITUAL GUY.
I'VE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT IT.
I THINK, LIKE, LIKE, I REALLY-- THERE'S, LIKE, RELIGIONS I'VE
RESEARCHED.
LIKE, I GREW UP CATHOLIC.
I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS ABOUT IT.
SIKHISM IS BEAUTIFUL, QUAKERS.
>> Stephen: QUAKERS ARE NICE.
ARE THEY THE FRIENDS?
>> THE FRIENDS, YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND THEY SIT IN A CIRCLE AND GO, "THIS IS HOW MY
DAY WAS, EXPWTS THAT'S CHURCH.
>> YEAH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
>> Stephen: ISN'T THAT IT?
>> YEAH, A LITTLE BIT.
AND YOU SAY WHAT YOU TONIGHT LIKE ABOUT SOMEONE TO HIR FACE.
IT'S NICE.
IF I WAS GOING TO GET BACK INTO RELIGION I WOULD PROBABLY GO AND
TRY TO START A CULT ORING.
>> Stephen: OH, START A CULT.
NOT JOIN A CULT, START A CULT.
>> I'D LIKE TONG I'M A LEADER.
I'D LIKE TO THINK I'M A LEADER, NOT A FOLLOWER.
>> Stephen: THAT DOWNWARD DOG, YOU'RE NOT, NO.
YOU DO SHOWS LIVE.
>> I DO.
>> Stephen: WE'VE SOMETIMES DONE OUR SHOWS LIVE.
IT CAN BE-- AS I SAID TCAN BE VERY TENSE, AND CRAZY THINGS CAN
HAPPEN.
YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT.
HAVE THINGS GONE SOUTH FOR YOU?
>> ALL THE TYPE.
THAT'S MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVE TV.
ACTUAL DISASTERS HAPPEN, AND THEY GET TO SEE ME WALLOW IN
SHAME.
I LOVE THAT.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN EXPLAIN THIS-- WE HAVE TO GO HERE, BUT
VERY QUICKLY, YOU CAN EXPLAIN THIS PHOT ON RIGHT HERE?
>> OH, YES.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE?
>> THAT WAS THE LAST EPISODE OF MY SEASON LAST YEAR.
THE GUESTS ACTUALLY CONVINCED THE WHOLE STUDIO AUDIENCE TO
LEAVE-- THAT'S TRUE.
TO, LIKE SCREW ME OVER THEY WERE LIKE, EVERYONE, LET'S LEAVE."
AND THE ONLY PERSON WHO STAYED WAS MY WIFE WHO IS THE BAND
LEADER ON MY SHOW AND THIS TURTLE HUNG OUT.
THE SEASON ENDED WITH ME JUST SITTING IN SHAME WAY TURTLE
LOUDLY EATING LETTUCE, LOUDLY CHOMPING ON LETTUCE, WHILE I MUM
MUMBLED ABOUT HOW I OFTEN FEEL LEAK A FAILURE.
I THINK THAT'S GOOD COMEDY.
>> Stephen: "THE CHRIS GETHARD SHOW" RETURNS LIVE TO truTV ON
MARCH 20.
AND THAT'S CHRIS GETHARD, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY PORTUGAL, THE
