>> Stephen: HELLO?
>> HELLO.
>> Stephen: THANKS FOR BEING ON.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
IT'S SUCH A THRILL TO BE HERE.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND YOU STARTED OFF-- DID YOU LIVE IN
NEW YORK WHEN YOU STARTED?
>> I DID, I STARTED OFF AT THE UPGRADE BRIGADE CITIZENS IN NEW
YORK CITY.
>> Stephen: QUALITY ENTERPRISE.
>> QUALITY ENTERPRISE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S IMPROVISATION WHICH, OF COURSE,
IS VERY USEFUL FOR AN ACTOR.
BUT THEN YOU ACTUALLY DID-- YOU DID THE ACTORS STUDIO.
>> I GRADUATED FROM WANT NEW SCHOOL OF THE ACTORS STUDIO.
>> Stephen: THAT'S LIKE STAN SLOF SKI?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T KNOW.
>> I WAS SO CHECKED OUT.
>> AS SOON AS I GOT TO THE NEW SCHOOL I SPENT MY NIGHTS AT THE
UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE, AND MY DAYS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NEW
SCHOOL, SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ACTING.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: DID YOU READ "AN
ACTOR PREPARES" BY CONSTAN STEEN STAN SLOF SKI?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: DID YOU GO TO ANY OF THOSE "INSIDE THE ACTOR"
STUDIOS.
>> I WENT TO HALF OF ONE.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: WHO WAS IT?
>> WELL-- SO THEY MAKE YOU GO TO ONE TO GRADUATE.
AND I, OBVIOUSLY, BLEW THAT OFF.
AND THEN RIGHT BEFORE I GRADUATED, LIKE, YOU HAVE TO GO
TO ONE.
BUT THE ONLY ONE LEFT OF THE SEASON WAS JENNIFER LOPEZ.
WHICH IS, LIKE, I DON'T-- I GUESS PEOPLE FIND IT FUNNY THAT
SHE HAD AN "INSIDE THE ACTOR" STUDIO.
I'M A BIG JENNIFER LOPEZ FAN.
"OUT OF SIGHT" IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES.
AND THEN SHE'S MADE, LIKE, OTHERS.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: CAN WE FACT CHECK
THAT?
>> AM I RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
>> Stephen: THEY'RE TELLING ME SHE MADE OTHER MOVIES.
>> LOOK AT THAT!
I WAS RIGHT!
SO I HAD TO GO TO THAT.
AND IT-- I LOVE JENNIFER LOPED, LIKE I SAID, BUT, YOU KNOW,
THERE ARE SO MANY ANSWERS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MOVIE "U.
TURN ONE PERSON CAN TAKE."
SO WHEN THE MIC GOT PASSED TO ME TO ASK A QUESTION I KIND OF
BLACKED OUT OR SOMETHING AND DECIDED TO DO A BIT.
AND I GOT UP AND I WAS LIKE, "J.LO," AND SHE WENT,
"JENNIFER."
AND RIGHT AWAY I WAS LIKE, "OH, GOD.
THIS IS BAD.
THIS IS BAD."
BUT I POWERED THROUGH.
AND SHE WAS LIKE "JENNIFER."
AND I SAID, "I KNOW THAT YOU RECENTLY HAVE GONE THROUGH A
BREAKUP WITH-- WITH CASEY AFFLECK"-- DON'T KNOW WHY I SAID
THAT.
( LAUGHTER ) TO WHICH SHE THEN QUICKLY
RESPONDED, "BEN."
AND I WAS LIKE, "SURE, SURE, SURE, SURE, SURE."
EVEN THEN PEOPLE WERE EMBARRASSED TO BE CONFUSED TO
HAVE AN ALLEGIANCE WITH CASEY AFFLECK.
SHOTS FIRED!
SO THEN-- THIS IS A TERRIBLE LONG STORY.
( LAUGHTER ) SO THEN I SAID, "SO I'VE BEEN
THROUGH A BREAKUP, TOO, RECENTLY.
AND I DON'T KNOW.
I'M JUST FEELING LIKE WE HAVE A CONNECTION."
( LAUGHTER ) MEANWHILE, I'M, LIKE, 21, WAY
HIGH.
( LAUGHTER ) AND ALL THE REAL J. LO FANS ARE,
LIKE, NOT HAPPY.
>> Stephen: SURE, AND SHE IS NOT EITHER.
>> AND SHE'S LOOK AT ME.
SHE'S BEING SO SWEET, YOU KNOW.
SHE'S LOOKING AT ME LIKE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THIS KID KIDDING
AROUND.
AND THEN I WENT EVEN FURTHER-- SO DUMB.
AND I WAS LIKE, "SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAYBE AFTER YOUR TAPING,
I REPRESENTED THE DVD OF THE MOVIE 'BIG FISH'," WHICH IS SO
RANDOM.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.
THERE WAS NO NETFLIX AND CHILL AT THE TIME.
( LAUGHTER ) AND I WAS LIKE, "IF YOU WANT TO
COME WATCH IT WITH ME."
AND SHE WAS VERY SWEET AND SHE WAS LIKE, "OH, NOW, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH."
AND IT DIDN'T GET A LAUGH, OBVIOUSLY, AND I WAS HORRIBLY
EMBARRASSED.
SO I SAT BACK DOWN THINKING OH, GOD THAT WAS VERY-- VERY-- VERY
DUMB.
>> Stephen: BUT I GET TO GRADUATE.
>> BUT I GET TO GRADUATE.
AND WITHIN THREE SECONDS OF SITTING DOWN LIPTON HAD, LIKE, A
BRAIN ANEURYSM EXPLOSION AND SAID, "THIS IS A SERIOUS CLASS!"
AND I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
I FORGOT.
I FORGOT."
>> Stephen: YOU UNDERSTAND YOU GRADUATED AND YOU GOT TO
ACTUALLY WORK WITH ONE OF YOUR ACTING HEROES.
YOU GOT TO WORK WITH DeNIRO.
>> DI.
>> Stephen: WHO I MET AND IT'S A LITTLE IMPOSING.
>> IT IS A LITTLE IMPOSING.
WE WERE SHOOTING A MOVIE CALLED "DIRTY GRANDPA."
AND YOU COULD TELL, HE WAS NOT GOING TO BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT
THIS ONE.
( LAUGHTER ) I'M NEVER GOING TO GET A TABLE
AT THE TRIBECA GRILLE.
LIKE, THAT IS OUT.
CAN ANYWAY, SO I GOT TO WORK WITH DeNIRO IN THE ACCLAIMED
MOVIE "DIRTY GRANDPA."
OH, MAN, I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M PUBLICIZING THAT MOVIE HERE.
NO ONE SAW THAT FOUR YEARS AGO.
ANYWAY--
>> Stephen: ARE THEY MAKING A "DIRTY GRANDPA 2?"
>> OH, YEAH.
I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE CALL YET.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I THOUGHT THEY
WERE.
BUT GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD.
>> I THINK THEY ARE.
"DIRTY GRANDPA IN EUROPE."
SUPER DIRTY.
>> Stephen: DO YOU WANT TO EVER WORK AGAIN?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> HONESTLY, I'M GOOD.
( LAUGHTER ) AND NOT-- NOT MONEY-WISE.
I NEED THE MONEY.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU'RE GOOD.
>> I THINK I'M GOOD RIGHT HERE WHERE I AM.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: SO, KEEP GOING.
GO ON.
>> SO ANYWAY -- >> Stephen: THERE IS STILL A
CHANCE.
>> THERE IS STILL A CHANCE I MIGHT MAKE IT THROUGH THE STORY.
>> Stephen: THERE IS STILL A CHANCE THIS WILL MAKE IT TO AIR.
>> NO!
>> Stephen: DeNIRO.
SCORSESE DIRECTED THIS ONE, RIGHT?
>> NO, HE'S DIRECTED "DIRTY GRANDPA 2."
( LAUGHTER ) SO I'M IN A SCENE WITH DeNIRO,
AND IT WAS THE FIRST TAKE, AND I WAS TRYING TO LIVEN IT UP.
SO WE DID THE FIRST TAKE AND IT WAS A FUNERAL SCENE, AND HE CAME
OVER TO GIVE ME A HUG AND I GRABBED HIM AND I TOSSLED HIS
HAIR EXTRA HARD.
AND THEY IDEAL CUT.
AND HE WAS IN MY EAR AND-- I DON'T DO A GREAT DeNIRO.
BUT HE WAS LIKE, "VERY FUNNY.
DON'T DO THAT AGAIN."
AND I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, "OKAY."
BUT, ALSO, WE'RE SHOOTING A MOVIE CALLED "DIRTY GRANDPA."
I'M GONNA DO THAT AGAIN.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: DAMN IT.
>> IT DOES FEEL LIKE-- IT DOES FEEL LIKE WE'VE MET BEFORE.
SO THEN WE DID THE NEXT TAKE.
AND HE CAME OVER TO GIVE ME A HUG AND HE'S ALL SAD AND I GAVE
HIM A HUG, AND I GAVE HIM A LITTLE PAT ON THE BUTT LIKE
ATHLETES DO.
AND AFTER THE TAKE HE CAME OVER AND SAID, "VERY FUNNY.
DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN."
LAYOFF LAUGH AND I WAS LIKE, "NO PROBLEM," OF COURSE.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> AND SO THEN THE THIRD TAKE HE CAME OVER TO ME, AND I WENT UP
TO HIM AND I WENT TO GIVE HIM A BIG HUG AND HE SAW AND HE PUSHED
ME.
AND I, LIKE, FELL BACK INTO THE STALL.
AND THEY IDEAL "CUT," AND I WENT OVER TO HIM AND I GRABBED HIM,
AND I WAS LIKE, "VERY FUNNY, DON'T EVER-- DON'T EVER DO THAT
AGAIN."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: "DOG DAYS" IS IN
THEATERS AUGUST 8.
ADAM PALLY, EVERYBODY!
