( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY NEXT
GUEST TONIGHT IS A VERY FUNNY MAN WHO STARS IN ONE OF MY
FAVORITE SHOWS OF ALL TIME "VEEP."
HIS NEW MOVIE IS "UNDER THE EIFFEL TOWER."
>> IMAGINE THE HISTORY OF THE LAND THAT YOU STAND UPON NOW.
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF YEARS OF SEDIMENT AND GRAVEL DEPOSITED
HERE TO FEED THIS UNIQUE ROOT STALK.
EVERY GLASS OF WINE IS A COURTSHIP, AN ENCOUNTER WITH
MOTHER EARTH.
>> EXACTLY.
NOW, GO AHEAD, TASTE IT.
ROLL IT ON THE PALETTE, FEEL THE WINE BEFORE YOU SWALLOW.
MMM.
THIS WINE REMINDS ME OF A COLD WINTER NIGHT, SITTING BY A FIRE,
READING BALLSAK.
>> STEPHEN: PLEASE WELCOME, MATT WALSH!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> Stephen: I LOVE A GOOD BALLSAK.
>> HE'S A NEW WRITER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ HIM.
>> Stephen: DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WINE?
BECAUSE YOU REALLY -- >> I SOLD IT.
>> Stephen: YOU SOLD IT, EXACTLY.
>> I KNOW I LIKE RED WINE AND I DON'T LIKE THE PEPPERY SARAZ.
AFTER THAT -- >> Stephen: YOU KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT WINE.
>> I KNOW NOTHING.
>> Stephen: I LIKE WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE WINE
BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE IT GETS ME DRUNKER QUICKER.
>> AND IF YOU GET HUNG OVER, IT'S PROBABLY BAD WINE.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> GREAT.
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.
>> Stephen: I'VE ALREADY WAXED POETIC.
I'M TRYING TO NOT TO DO IT ABOUT "VEEP" AND MIKE McCLINTOCK,
YOUR CHARACTER ON "VEEP," LEFT IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION.
IS IT MARCH IT'S COMING BACK?
>> I BELIEVE.
>> Stephen: WHEN LAST WE LEFT YOUR CHARACTER IN "VEEP," MIKE
McCLINTOCK, HE WAS TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE --
>> I THINK HE WAS TEACHING GOVERNMENT AT A JUNIOR COLLEGE.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN DROPPED --
>> BY SALINA IN FAVOR OF LEON WEST.
>> Stephen: I AM A SUPER FAN.
THIS IS THE LAST SEASON COMING UP.
>> IT IS ( AUDIENCE REACTS )
>> Stephen: I KNOW.
YOU ARE A LEGIT SUPER FAN AND I TOOK SOMETHING FROM THE ART
DEPARTMENT AND IT'S YOURS TO KEEP, A CAMPAIGN BUTTON FROM
THIS FINAL SEASON!
>> Stephen: SALINA, THE FUTURE.
>> BECAUSE SHE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT THIS YEAR.
>> Stephen: OH, MY GOD!
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
>> I KNOW, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED.
>> Stephen: PEOPLE THINK I HAVE A PROBLEM.
I WILL LITERALLY GO TO SLEEP LISTENING TO THAT SHOW.
>> YOU SAY ONE OF THE GREATEST ALL TIME TV SHOWS.
THAT'S CRAZINESS.
>> Stephen: WITHOUT A DOUBT.
YOU CAN'T TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
>> I CAN'T.
MIKE IS STILL TRYING TO SUPPORT THREE ADON'T CHILDREN,
SCRAMBLING FOR MONEY, SO HE GOES BACK TO JOURNALISM ANY WAY HE
CAN AND STARTS COVERING THE NEW ELECTION COMING UP.
SO HE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
>> Stephen: MIKE McCLINTOCK SPINOFF?
>> I WOULD DO IT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU TAKE ANYTHING ELSE?
>> MY ONLY STIPULATION IS IF MIKE COULD BE DUMBER.
( LAUGHTER ) I WON'T DO IT IF HE'S THE SAME.
>> Stephen: HIS ORGANS STILL HAVE TO FUNCTION!
AT THIS POINT YOU'RE JUST AUTONOMIC.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, LIGHT RESPONSE.
( LAUGHTER ) "UNDER THE EIFFEL TOWER," WHAT
IS IT ABOUT?
>> IT'S ABOUT A WASHED-OUT BOURBON SALESMAN, LIKE ME, WHO
GOES TO FRANCE TO KIND OF SHAKE THINGS OFF.
HIS FRIEND INVITES HIM, UNDER THE ROMANTIC NATURE OF PARIS, HE
DECIDES TO PROPOSE TO THAT FAMILY'S DAUGHTER.
FAMILY FRIEND DAUGHTER, 26, DOESN'T GO WELL.
>> Stephen: HE'S INVITED BY FRIENDS?
>> HIS FRIENDS SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU SHOULD COME TO PARIS WITH US.
WE'RE CELEBRATING ROSALIND'S GRADUATION IN ART HISTORY.
>> Stephen: AND YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HER?
>> BECAUSE I'M IN PARIS, I PROPOSE TO HER.
>> Stephen: THAT MUST BE AGONIZING TO EVEN SHOOT.
>> IT WAS REALLY PAINFUL.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
( LAUGHTER ) >> THE SCRIPT SAYS 26 BUT THEY
KEEP SAYING SHE'S 24.
I WAS PLAYING IT LIKE SHE WAS 26.
>> Stephen: FAR LESS TRICKY.
I COULD SEE WITH A 26 YEAR OLD -- WE'RE BASICALLY THE SAME
AGE, RIGHT?
TWENTY-FOUR,UUUUGH.
>> SO THE FAMILY SAYS, LEAVE US ALONE.
SO HE GOES ON A DRINKING BENDER REED SCOTT WHO PLAYS A
FOOTBALLER.
THEY STUMBLE INTO A VINEYARD AND MEETS A GIRL AND BATTLE FOR THE
GAL.
>> Stephen: AND GARY COLE IS IN IT?
>> AND DAVID WAYNE AND MIGUEL.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: YOU SHOT IN PARIS?
WE WERE IN PARIS TEN DAYS AND BORDEAUX THREE AND A HALF WEEKS.
A GUY SENT ME A SCRIPT AND I SAID, CAN I BRING MY FAMILY?
HE SAID, YEAH.
I SAID, I'LL DO IT.
IT'S THE BIGGEST BOONDOGGLE.
IT WAS A LOVELY, SWEET, ROMANTIC COMEDY AND IT WAS NICE TO BE
OVER THERE AND WORK WITH A FRENCH FILM CREW BECAUSE THEY DO
THINGS SO DIFFERENT.
>> Stephen: CAN WE DO MY SHOW IN PARIS.
>> REALLY?
>> Stephen: HE WOULD SAY ANYTHING TO ME RIGHT NOW.
CAN I HAVE NEXT WEEK OFF?
>> SURE, STEPHEN.
I'M GOING TO PARIS?
YOU AND I ARE GOING TO PARIS?
THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: MATT, A DELIGHT TO SEE YOU ALWAYS.
"UNDER THE EIFFEL TOWER" IN THEATERS THIS FRIDAY.
MATT WALSH, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH TIDYING EXPERT MARIE KONDO.
