YOU KNOW MY FIRST GUEST FROM FILMS SUCH AS "KNOCKED UP," "THE
OTHER WOMAN," AND "BLOCKERS."
HER NEW FILM IS "WELCOME TO MARWEN."
>> A LOT OF WEIRD STUFF HAPPENS HERE IN MARWEN, A LOT OF STUFF
THAT MAKES NO SENSE, LIKE HOW YOU GOT HERE.
>> I JUST MOVED IN ACROSS THE STREET.
>> WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
>> NICOL, WITHOUT THE.
ON THE END.
>> SHE SAYS.
TO BE CONTINUED.
( SIGHS ) >> THAT'S SWEET.
THAT'S ONE HECK OF A STORY.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME, LESLIE MANN!
♪ ♪ ♪
>> Stephen: HI.
>> HI!
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
WELCOME BACK.
>> THANK YOU!
I'M HAPPY TO BE BACK.
>> Stephen: THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, YOU WERE-- YOU WERE A
LITTLE ANXIOUS.
>> UH-HUH.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE YOUR DAUGHTER, MAUDE, WAS GOING OFF
TO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.
>> YES, WITH YOUR SON.
ARE WE ALLOWED TO SAY THAT?
>> Stephen: SURE, WHY NOT.
THEY'RE NOT HERE.
THEY CAN'T STOP US.
THEY'RE NOT THE BOSS OF US.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
>> WOW.
>> Stephen: WE ARE SCARED OF THEM.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: BUT OTHER THAN THAT.
HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH ANXIETY THESE DAYS?
>> WELL, SHE'S BACK.
SO SHE CAME BACK.
SHE DROPPED OUT.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE DO.
>> IS THAT BAD?
YEAH.
>> Stephen: NO, NOT AT ALL.
SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE DO.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: STEVE JOBS.
>> OH, OH, REALLY?
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
>> OKAY.
WELL, IT WAS-- IT WAS REALLY HARD BEING IN THE COLD.
YOU KNOW, SHE'S A CALIFORNIA GIRL.
>> Stephen: AND CHICAGO WINTERS ARE EXTRAORDINARILY
PUNISHISHING.
>> YES.
SO AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, SHE SAID, "I'M SO MISERABLE.
I WANT TO COME HOME."
AND WE SAID OKAY.
AND THEN SHE GOT A JOB RIGHT AWAY, SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO GO
BACK.
>> Stephen: SURE.
AN ACTING JOB.
>> AN ACTING JOB.
AND NOW SHE'S EMPLOYED, LIVING AT HOME --
>> Stephen: LIVING AT HOME?
>> SHE'S LIVING AT HOME WHICH I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT.
BUT THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW BECAUSE SHE'S, LIKE, AN ADULT
WOMAN.
SHE'S ABOUT TO TURN 21.
AND, YOU KNOW, SHE'S -- >> Stephen: IS THERE A CURFEW
OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT?
>> OKAY, SO, WELL, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS.
LIKE, I CAN'T DISCIPLINE HER, BECAUSE SHE'S OLD.
( LAUGHTER )
IF THEY DON'T KNOW, THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO KNOW.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE DONE YOUR JOB ALL RIGHT.
>> I'VE DONE MY JOB.
BUT I STILL-- LIKE, I HAVE ISSUES-- YOU KNOW, I-- I CAN'T,
LIKE -- >> Stephen: SOUNDS LIKE IT'S
GOING REALLY WELL.
( LAUGHTER )
SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SO, LIKE, SHE'S HOME, AND EVERYTHING'S GREAT.
>> NO.
SHE'S NOT--
SHE'S NOT LIKE A SLOB.
>> Stephen: NO ONE SAID SHE'S A SLOB.
NO ONE-- YOU'RE DEFENDING HER FROM AN ACCUSATION THAT NO ONE
HERE HAS MADE.
>> BUT I'LL TELL HER, LIKE, YOU KNOW, "CAN YOU PUT YOUR DISHES
IN THE DISHWASHER?" AND SHE'LL SAY, "IT'S A FORK AND
A PLATE."
AND I'LL SAY, "I KNOW.
JUST PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER."
AND SHE'S LIKE, "OOOH!
IS THIS GOING TO BECOME A THING?
BECAUSE IF SO, I'M JUST GOING TO GO GET AN APARTMENT, AND I'LL BE
OUT OF YOUR HAIR."
AND SO I QUICK AND PUT THE DISHES IN THE DISHWASHER JUST
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT HER-- SO SHE WON'T LEAVE.
SO I HAVE NO LEVERAGE TO GET HER TO DO ANYTHING.
AND IT'S -- >> Stephen: OH, SHE IS WORK
YOU HARD.
>> SHE IS!
I KNOW!
>> Stephen: YOU SHOULD GO TO COLLEGE.
>> I KNOW!
BUT SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT SHE'S OLD, SHE CAN, LIKE,
GO DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS, AND I CAN'T TELL HER, YOU KNOW, BE
HOME BY MIDNIGHT," BECAUSE -- >> Stephen: YOU CAN'T EVEN
TELL HER TO PUT HER FORK IN THE DISHWASHER.
>> I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN'T TELL HER ANYTHING AT THIS POINT.
>> BUT I'M STILL SCARED AND I CAN'T SLEEP WELL IF SHE'S NOT
HOME.
>> Stephen: OF COURSE.
>> I WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AND I CHECK "FIND MY
FRIEND."
IT'S A LITTLE PICTURE OF HER FACE FLOATING AROUND ON THE MAP
WHEREVER SHE IS.
AND I'LL OPEN IT UP, AND SOMETIMES HER LITTLE HEAD IS,
LIKE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN.
AND I'M LIKE... AND THEN IT, LIKE, RECALIBRATES AND, LIKE,
JUMPS OVER TO, LIKE, THE BAR NEAR THE OCEAN.
>> Stephen: IF THIS HELPS AT ALL, IF HER-- IF HER PHONE WAS
IN THE OCEAN, IT WOULDN'T BE BROADCASTING.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: OKAY?
IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE.
SO IT DOESN'T HELP AT ALL FOR ME TO TELL YOU THAT.
BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: YOU'LL JUST GET NO SIGNAL.
>> YES.
( LAUGHTER )
KNOW YOU'RE NOT ANXIOUS ANYMORE.
IT'S GOOD TO KNOW-- YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE.
IS YOUR DAUGHTER REALLY GOING TO BE OKAY WITH YOU TALKING ABOUT
THIS?
>> SHE TOLD ME NOT TO.
BUT--
>> Stephen: BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU TOLD HER TO PUT HER FORK IN
THE DISHWASHER.
>> EXACTLY.
SHE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME.
THEN WOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL THE STORY.
YOU HAVE THE MOVIE WITH STEVE CARELL.
MY OLD FRIEND STEVE CARELL.
CALLED "WELCOME TO NARWEN."
TELL THE STORY OF THE MOVIE A LITTLE BIT.
IT'S HARD TO TELL FROM THAT ONE LITTLE CLIP.
WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS MOVIE?
>> IT'S A TRUE STORY ABOUT A MAN, AN ARTIST, PLAYED BY STEVE
CARELL, WHO IS VERY BADLY BEATEN UP FOR BEING DIFFERENT.
AND HE LOSES A LOT OF HIS MEMORIES, AND HIS-- ABILITY TO
DRAW.
SO HE-- THE WAY HE DEALS WITH THAT TRAUMA AND AS A FORM OF
THERAPY, HE-- HE CREATES THIS IMAGINARY WORLD WITH DOLLS WHERE
HE IS THE HERO.
>> Stephen: AND THE GUY REALLY DID THIS, THE MAN WHO RECOVERED?
>> YES, IT'S A TRUE STORY.
>> Stephen: AND YOU ALL POPULATED IN THE MOVIE-- ALL THE
CHARACTERS POPULATED AS DOLLS IN HIS IMAGINATION.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: ALL SORT OF GI JOE AND BARBIE-SIZED DOLLS.
HERE YOU ARE BEING CAPTURED.
IT'S ALL DONE WITH PERFORMANCE CAPTURE.
AND HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOUR FINAL RENDER IS LIKE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THERE YOU ARE.
>> IT'S VERY COOL.
>> Stephen: VERY NICE.
>> YEAH.
( APPLAUSE )
HAVE-- DID YOU HAVE ANY INPUT INTO WHAT YOUR FINAL, LIKE,
BARBIE VERSION OF YOU WOULD LOOK?
>> SO ROBERT ZEMECKIS DIRECTED IT, AND HE'S A DREAM, AND HE
ASKED US, YOU KNOW, HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO DRESS OUR DOLLS.
AND I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW-- YOU CAN'T SAY...
>> Stephen: YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT.
( LAUGHTER )
I WENT WITH IT.
"R" RATED.
PROVOCATIVE.
>> Stephen: SURE.
YOU WANTED TO PUT IT OUT THERE.
>> I DID.
I CHOSE-- I REALLY GOT INTO IT AND EXCITED ABOUT IT, AND I DID,
LIKE, THE FISHNET STOCKINGS FOR MY DOLL, AND THIGH-HIGH BOOTS
AND MICRO-MINIS AND THE CROP TOPS.
AND I WAS LIKE, YES!
THIS LOOKS GREAT.
THEY CHANGED IT, OBVIOUSLY.
( LAUGHTER )
THINK-- LET ME ASK YOU THIS-- WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT YOU WHEN
YOU THINK ABOUT THE CHOICES YOU MADE FOR YOUR OWN DOLL?
IS THAT FOR THE CHARACTER THAT YOU WERE PLAYING IN THE MOVIE?
IS THAT WHAT SHE WANTED TO SECRETLY LOOK LIKE?
OR IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO SECRETLY WEAR?
BECAUSE GO FOR IT.
YOU'RE IN HOLLYWOOD.
YOU CAN WEAR ANYTHING YOU WANT.
PEOPLE WILL GO, "OH, YEAH, THAT'S JUST HOW SHE DREIVES.
>> REALLY?
SHOULD I?
WE WANT TO, KIND OF.
DON'T WE ALL?
YEAH?
( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: YOUR HUSBAND WOULD BE HAPPY.
>> YOU THINK?
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF HE'D NOTICE.
I DON'T THINK HE WOULD.
>> Stephen: HE WOULDN'T NOTICE IF CAME IN WEARING A MICRO-MINNY
AND FISHNETS AND A CROP TOP.
>> HE'D BE LIKE, "HEY, HONEY."
>> Stephen: KICK HIM TO THE CURB!
SERIOUSLY, HE WOULDN'T NOTICE?
>> I CAN'T SAY THAT HE WOULD.
I MEAN, IF-- I MEAN MAYBE, MAYBE.
I DOUBT IT.
>> Stephen: WOW.
WHAT WOULD YOUR CHILDREN SAY IF YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT?
>> I THINK THEY JUST MIGHT BE EMBARRASSED.
WOULDN'T YOUR-- I MEAN -- >> Stephen: IF I WORE FISHNETS
MY CHILDREN MIGHT BE EMBARRASSED.
THEY SAY I GOTTA GO.
I DON'T WANT TO, THOUGH.
IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU >> Stephen: "WELCOME TO MARWEN"
IS IN THEATERS NEXT FRIDAY.
LESLIE MANN, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH BRANDON MICHEAL HALL.
