>> Ben Feldman stars in
"Superstore."
>> You can catch new episodes
every Thursday night where Ben
is lighting up the screen.
Good to see you.
>> Welcome to the show, man.
>> Thanks for having me.
This is cool.
>> Love America.
>> Yeah.
That's great.
>> Congrats.
The show has had a nice run.
How has it grown?
>> It hasn't.
It's just sort of devolving.
No, I think what's nice is I
don't have to lie to people like
you guys.
I can say it's as good as it's
ever been and it's not actor bs.
I think it gets better.
I think the writers and
everybody figured out what we do
best and zero in on that.
We do a lot of issue stuff and
we tell a lot of American
stories, but we only do it if
it's funny.
>> And a lot has changed in your
personal life.
How many kid dos we have
currently?
>> So many.
>> Two which is not so many.
There's people watching with a
lot.
>> What are the ages?
>> One is 8 months and he just
turned 2 a little while ago.
>> You're in the trenches.
>> It's why I'm here.
>> Exactly.
>> I'm just calling around to
day time talk shows to see if I
can get out of the house.
>> You didn't give yourself a
hiatus.
>> It wasn't entirely intended
to be that timing.
But we just -- I just sort of
assumed that eventually they're
going to be -- they're going to
take care of themselves at some
point is my assumption.
>> You just took a trip with
your wife just the two of you.
This is a big deal.
How did your wife do?
How did you do?
Was it immediate gratification?
Did it take a minute to get in
the zone?
>> First of all when you have
two tiny psychos, you just look
forward to the plane.
I tell all my friends without
kids, they'll be like why are
you so excited about the plane?
I'll fly to Japan and back.
Is it not the worst feeling in
the world when you're getting on
the plane with the kids and
people give you the dirtiest
look.
Like really?
You'll see, buddy, you'll see.
>> Fly private if you don't like
it.
>> I feel so bad for the babies.
But by yourself you don't even
care if there's entertainment.
You don't care what seat you're
in.
>> Well --
>> Now I went a little too far.
>> Speaking crazy here.
>> We left the kids with their
grandparents and went to Mexico
City.
We wanted to go on the kind of
trips we used to go on where
it's cool city, going out
drinking, going out to eat at a
thousand o'clock which is where
they eat in Mexico.
Instead of the normal trips you
take where you go to a hotel and
spa.
We dug in and came back
exhausted which completely
defeated the whole purpose.
You get back and it's like 5:50
and I'm waking up at this time
forever again.
>> Are you the thing my husband
could never hear the babies.
Eld had be snoring and I'm like
how do you not hear this baby?
>> Yeah, my wife would argue we
have the same situation.
>> You guys can sleep through
anything.
>> I'm half deaf in my left
ear --
>> Convenient.
Convenient.
>> -- So I'll lay on my right
ear and it's like a noise cancel
Aller.
My wife will be like wake up,
wake up.
>> I don't have that super
power.
I'm like bing and I'm up.
>> You don't want to wake up to
someone angry at you.
>> Good for you.
>> We have something in common
we're talking about.
Can you guess our acting ability
which is very strong.
We were both canned from our
first job for giving away free
stuff.
You were bass kin robins.
I was tcby.
>> You were Baskin robins.
How many samples can you give
before you have to order?
>> Oh, god, I don't know.
I was 14.
>> You're not even legally
allowed to work.
>> 14?
>> There was a rule.
I didn't adhere to it.
>> You don't want to get too
aggressive with the samples.
>> I had friends that would come
in and give them the family size
bucket with all the toppings and
there was cameras.
>> I was caught giving the big
thing from the freezer.
>> Like Costco.
>> The kid came in, I didn't
want them to pay and I would do
it this big.
I was asked to leave shortly
after.
>> The owner of that Baskin
robins is the executive producer
of my show now.
So, in a sense I'm still robbing
a store.
You can't fire me.
I'm going to grow up to do this
for a living, and I do.
>> I wanted to ask you real
quick --
>> Just kidding NBC, I don't
take anything.
>> Anything.
>> Sorry, marrow.
>> You had a cool story on mad
men.
>> You know what's funny, the
people -- you could always tell
the next morning after that
episode -- spoiler alert -- I
cut my nipple off.
And the next morning I was on a
different show doing press for
this pilot that got picked up
for NBC and I told my publicist
you're going to know the -- a
lot of people are going to be
like blah blah blah blah and the
people creeped out will be like
tell us about the mad men fan.
Someone else will be like can we
