>> THANK YOU, YOU CAN HAVE IT WHEN WE'RE DONE.
>> Stephen: I DON'T THINK I HAVE THE HIPS FOR IT.
>> I THINK YOU MIGHT.
>> Stephen: WHAT I LIKE IS THAT IT KIND OF HAS GOT SORT OF
A VERY SUBDUED LIKE SORT OF FRENCH, LIKE, 19th CENTURY
SCHOOL MASTER LOOK TO IT.
BUT IT'S GOT ALL THIS GLAMOR AND SPARKLE TO IT T IS REALLY
WONDERFUL.
>> IT'S HOW YOU SEDUCE THE SCHOOL CHILDREN, IT'S HOW YOU
HYPNOTIZE.
>> Stephen: WHICH WAS LEGAL BACK THEN.
>> EVERYTHING WAS LEGAL BACK THEN.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU'RE A FASHION ICON YOURSELF BECAUSE OF
SEX & THE CITY.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: WHICH, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY--
(APPLAUSE).
>> Stephen: NO, IT'S TRUE.
YEAH S THAT NICE?
>> WHAT A FANTASTIC FEELING.
IT HYPNOTIZES SHALL DOESN'T IT.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE LACKING UP THERE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO
ASK ME TO ASK I IF THERE SAY SEX AND THE CITY 3.
>> SPEAK INTO MY GOOD EAR.
>> Stephen: I'M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU THAT BECAUSE EVERYBODY
WILL ASK YOU IF THERE IS A SEX & THE CITY 3 AND I WOULD JUST ASK
YOU, WHAT PART WOULD I PLAY.
>> OH, WELL THERE'S AN OPENING.
>> Stephen: WELL, REALLY, REALLY?
>> I MEAN AIM KNOW NOT-- .
>> Stephen: WHO DO I HAVE TO ACT LIKE?
WHAT WOULD MY CHARACTER BE LIKE.
>> ACCORDING TO VERY RECENT DOCUMENTATION OF WHY WE'RE NOT
MAKING IT.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> IT'S BECAUSE THE PART USUALLY PLAYED BY KIM CATTRELL HAS BEEN
VACATED.
SO THAT IS WHAT I MEAN THAT PERHAPS YOU WANT TO PLAY
SAMANTHA.
>> Stephen: I'M KIND OF LIKE, A LITTLE SLUTTY, KIND OF FUN.
>> KNOW WE WERE IN ABU DHABI.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE FUN, REMEMBER, WAS THAT THE SECOND
MOVIE.
>> YES, WE WERE A LOT OF FUN IN A BLEW DABBEE.
NO, WE WEREN'T ALLOWED IN A YOU BOO DABBEE, WE SHOT IN MOROCCO.
>> Stephen: PRETENDING TO BE A BEU DABI.
>> YES, ABUDABAI-- I THINK THE WORD SEX IN THE SCRIPT, THE
TITLE PAGE, SINCERELY, I THINK WAS OBJECTIONABLE, JUST THE
TITLE OF THE SHOW OR THE MOVIE WAS VERBOTIN.
I'M JUST GUESSING BUT MAYBE THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
I MEAN THERE HAS BEEN PROGRESS.
>> Stephen: YOU THINK IF WE NAMED IT DRUNK WHITE HAPPY LADY.
>> WE DID THINK OF THAT, BUT-- WE TRIED TO-- .
>> Stephen: AND AFTERWARDS THEY GO AHA!.
>> WELL, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE
OBFISCATION THAT WAS PLOTTED BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT THERE WAS
SOME THOUGHT ABOUT FINDING A MORE PALATABLE WAY TO TELL THE
TRUTH.
>> Stephen: AREN'T WE ALL.
AREN'T WE ALL LOOKING FOR THAT ON A DAILY BASIS.
>> BUT THIS WAS BACK IN THE DAY WHEN TRUTH MATTERS, YOU KNOW,
WHERE YOU HUNG YOUR HAT ON HONOR.
>> Stephen: THERE WAS SUCH A THING, MY APOLOGIES.
>> YOU KNOW, HONOR AND PRINCIPLE AND JUST GOOD OLD-FASHIONED
RELIABLE-- .
>> Stephen: FACT CHECKING.
THE NEW SHOW ON HBO IS CALLED DIVORCED AND YOU HAVE BEEN
MARRIED FOR 20 YEARS TO THE LOVELY AND TALENTED MATTHEW
BRODERICK.
(APPLAUSE) YEAH, GIVE IT UP FOR MATTHEW
BRODERICK.
WHEN.
>> DID YOU CALL HIM LOVELY AND TALENTED.
>> Stephen: IS HE LOVE LEIGH AND TALENTED.
WE SUNG AND DANCED TOK ON THIS STAGE.
>> HE'S OF MUCH MORE TIME WITH YOU THAN I HAVE.
>> Stephen: WE'RE NOT DONE.
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO HIM FOR 20 YEARS SO DOING A
SHOW ON DIVORCE IS THAT LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE TRYING OUTLINING
A FANTASY CAMP?
LIKE WHAT IS IT FOR YOU?
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO DO A SHOW ABOUT VONS WHEN ARE YOU NOT A
DIVORCED PERSON?
>> IT IS-- WELL, IT IS A NICE WAY TO LEARN THAT YOU WOULD
RATHER NOT DIVORCE BECAUSE IT'S NOT PLEASANT.
IT TURNS OUT THAT DIVORCE IS UNPLEASANT.
I DON'T-- I MEAN I DON'T, TO BE HONEST, IT DOESN'T REALLY AFFECT
WHAT HAPPENS IN MY HOME.
BUT I THINK IT IN SOME WAYS IS SORT OF A SUB VERSIVE-- I DON'T
KNOW, IT SEEMS SORT OF SUPPORTIVE IN MARRIAGE IN A
STRANGE WAY TO TALK ABOUT DIVORCE AND TO EXAMINE IT AND TO
SEE WHAT, YOU KNOW, SORT OF HOW INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED AND
UNPLEASANT AND DEVASTATING, AWFUL, OFTEN.
I DON'T KNOW, IT JUST SEEMS MAYBE EASIER JUST TO STAY
MARRIED?
>> Stephen: UNTIL IT'S NOT.
>> I GUESS, YES, BUT MAYBE THE THINGS THAT DON'T-- LIKE THE
THINGS THAT BOTHER YOU THAT DON'T MATTER, MAYBE THEY
ACTUALLY DON'T PLATTER.
AND MAYBE THEREFORE-- THIS IS-- YOU UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, I
MEAN THAT'S REALLY-- WHAT I AM SAYING IS, THAT DON'T GET
DIVORCED UNLESS YOU REALLY ARE BOTHERED BY THE THINGS THAT
DON'T MATTER.
YOU UNDERSTAND.
>> Stephen:-- BEFORE YOU GET MARRY IMAGINE THE THING YOU LIKE
LEAST ABOUT THIS PERSON, MULTIPLY IT BY TEN AND THINK
COULD I TAKE 50 YEARS OF THAT, AND I DID THAT WITH MY WIFE AND
I WENT-- GOT T I'M IN, 100 PERCENT AND I WAS TOTALLY RIGHT,
25 YEARS IN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: I THINK I GOT THIS ONE.
>> YOU GUYS ARE AT 25 YEARS.
>> Stephen: 25 YEARS ARE THIS FALL.
>> VERY IMPRESSIVE.
>> Stephen: YEAH, YEAH.
>> YEAH.
SO YOU KNOW, YES, YOU FIND THAT YOU HAVE A FAIRLY HIGH
THRESHHOLD FOR THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW-- EH.
>> Stephen: YEAH, HAVE A HIGH THRESHHOLD FOR PAIN, THAT IS THE
RIGHT THING FOR A MARRIAGE.
YOU HAVE BEEN PERFORMING, HOW OLD WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED
PERFORMING.
>> I WAS EIGHT.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> YEAH, I WAS EIGHT.
>> Stephen: MY RESEARCH PEOPLE FOUND SOMETHING HERE AND I DON'T
KNOW WHETHER YOU KNOW THEY FOUND.
THIS BUT THEY FOUND THAT IN 1983 YOU GAVE AN INTERVIEW IT SAID
ACTRESS 18 HAS SOME REGRETS.
>> I AM REGRETFUL THAT THEY GAVE MY AGE IN 1983, THAT IS WHAT A
REGRET.
>> Stephen: GET OUT YOUR CALCULATORS.
NOW 18 YEAR OLD SINGER AND ACTRESS WHO NOW LIVES IN-- SHE
MISSED PROM.
YOU NEVER WENT TO PROM.
>> IT'S TRUE.
>> Stephen: AND SO WHY?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW WHY, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I WAS SHOOTING FOOT
LOOSE.
I WAS SHOOTING A PROM SCENE WHILE MISSING MY VERY OWN PROM.
YES, AND IN FACT, THE FELLOW THAT I WAS GOING TO ATTEND PROM
WITH WHO I GUESS COULD SAY WAS PIE BOYFRIEND, HE WAS, YEAH, HE
WAS-- HE WAS-- CROWNED PROM KING.
HE KNOWS WHO HE IS.
HIS NAME IS.
>> Stephen: PROM KING.
>> HIS FIRST NAME IS DAVID.
>> Stephen: KING DAVID.
>> YEA YES, YES.
AND I INTUITED BIG THINGS FOR HIM.
AND IN FACT HE WAS PROM KING.
AND I THINK GOT A SCHOLARSHIP FOR COLLEGE TOO, LIKE A LOT OF
GOOD.
>> Stephen: HE GOT A SCHOLARSHIP FOR PROMMING HE WENT
PRO.
>> I THINK HE STOPPED BY, HE STOPPED BY MY PARENTS ON THE WAY
TO THE PROM AND I THINK THEY BROUGHT MY DRESS OUT ON A HANGER
TO SHOW HIM-- WHAT I WOULD HAVE WORN.
AND I THINK IT WAS LIKE A SORT OF CANTELOUPE-COLORED SILK,
EITHER LIKE A GUNNY SACK OR A LAURA ASHLEY, YOU KNOW DRESSMENT
AND I THINK ABOUT IT NOW AND IT WAS LIKE SUPERCHAISES, LIKE
REALLY COVERED, LIKE REALLY COVERED.
LIKE VERY PROPER.
>> Stephen: I HEARD THAT YOU NEVER WENT TO PROM.
>> I DIDN'T GO TO PROM.
>> Stephen: SO I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD GO TO PROM WITH ME.
>> WELL, OF COURSE, ON BEHALF OF ALL THE MILLIONS-- OF AMERICANS.
THANK YOU.
OH, HOW LOVELY.
>> Stephen: HOLD ON, WE NEED A PROM PHOTO.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: WHICH SIDE W OH, I DON'T CARE AS LONG AS YOU CAN
SEE, THIS WHAT IS A PROM PHOTO TYPICALLY LIKE.
OH, YOU KNOW WHAT, I SHOULD BE LIKE-- SHOULDN'T IT BE LIKE-- OH
MY GOSH. MY MIKE, READY?
IS IT THIS WAY?
