WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU.
YOU'VE SEEN MY NEXT GUEST IN "SHAUN OF THE DEAD," AND
"GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY," AND HEARD HIM AS DARTH MAUL IN "STAR
WARS: EPISODE ONE."
PLEASE WELCOME PETER SERAFINOWICZ.
COME ON UP.
THERE YOU GO.
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
RE>> Stephen: AS I SAID, YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC ROSTER OF FILMS
TO YOUR NAME.
PERHAPS ONE OF MY FAVORITE LIENGZ YOU EVER SAID WAS, "WHAT
A BUNCH OF A-HOLES" IN "GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY."
>> THANKS, MAN, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE DONE SO MUCH VOICE WORK OVER THE YEARS,
AND SOMETIMES AMERICANS.
HOW DID YOU GET YOUR AMERICAN ACCENTS BECAUSE-- SPOILER
ALERT-- YOU'RE NOT AMERICAN.
WHERE IN ENGLAND ARE YOU FROM, BY THE WAY?
>> I'M FROM LIVERPOOL.
>> Stephen: WELL, THAT'S A REALLY SPECIFIC ENGLISH ACCENT.
>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT NOW?
>> NO, NOT RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I'M ON TELEVISION.
SO I'M-- ( LAUGHTER )
BUT, YOU KNOW, I SUPPOSE, YOU KNOW, IF I STILL LIVED IN
LIVERPOOL I WOULD PROBABLY TALK LIKE, THIS YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> Stephen: OH, WOW.
THE BEATLES ARE FROM LIVERPOOL.
DO YOU DO THE BEATLES?
>> YEAH, YEAH.
I LOVED-- WHEN I WAS YOUNG ONE OF THE FIRST VOICES THAT I LOVED
TO DO WAS JOHN LENNON, YOU KNOW.
AND PARTICULARLY, ( APPLAUSE )
THANK YOU.
BUT, REALLY THOUGH, YOU KNOW, THE VOICE THAT HE HAD WHEN HE--
HE HAD BEEN LIVING IN NEW YORK FOR FIVE, SIX YEARS, YOU KNOW,
AND, YOU KNOW, HE COULD LOOK BACK ON THE WHOLE BEATLES THING
AND JUST TALK VERY WISELY ABOUT IT.
I MEAN I JUST LOVE THAT VOICE!
>> Stephen: IT'S THE BEST.
>> I LOVED IT.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU KNOW, I ALSO, YOU KNOW, AM
PRETTY-- KIND OF-- A LITTLE BIT OBSESSED WITH PAUL McCARTNEY.
>> Stephen: I HAD TO PLAY GEORGE ONE TIME IN A PIECE.
>> OH, THAT'S GOOD.
>> Stephen: I HAD TO PLAY GEORGE HARRISON FOR ONE TIME FOR
A PIECE.
>> THAT'S GOOD.
WHAT DO YOU DO THAT IN.
>> Stephen: IT WAS WHEN ABC-- ABC HAD, YOU KNOW, THE BEATLES
MEMORIES, THAT THING.
IT WAS ME AND JOHN AND PAUL, AND WE WERE WRITING, YOU KNOW,
"OCTOPUSES GARDEN."
THAT WAS MY GEORGE.
THAT'S ALL I COULD DO.
>> THAT'S-- THAT'S BRILLIANT.
>> Stephen: THANKS VERY MUCH.
LIVERPOOL TOOK FOREVER.
YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING AMAZING WITH DONALD TRUMP THIS POLITICAL
SEASON.
YOU HAVE REVOICED DONALD TRUMP ON YOUTUBE VIDEOS THAT I'VE
SEEN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE GOT DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF DONALD
TRUMP, EXACTLY THE WORDS HE'S SAYING, EXACTLY TIMED WITH HIS
LIPS.
YOU DO SOPHISTICATED TRUMP, COCKNEY TRUMP, AND POSSIBLY MY
FAVORITE, YOU HAVE SASSY TRUMP.
>> UH-HUH.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A RECENT SASSY TRUMP I'D LIKE TO SHOW THE
AUDIENCE IF YOU DON'T MIND.
AND THIS IS DONALD TRUMP TALKING ABOUT NORTH KOREA.
JIM.
>> NORTH KOREA, LET'S NOT MAKE ANY MORE THREATS TO THE UNITED
STATES.
THEY WILL BE MET WITH FIRE AND FURY.
LIKE THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN.
( LAUGHTER ) THEY HAVE BEEN VERY THREATENING
BEYOND A NORMAL STATEMENT.
AND AS I SAID, THEY WILL BE MET WITH FIRE, FURY, AND, FRANKLY,
POWER, THE LIKES OF WHICH THIS WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
THANK YOU.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: AMAZING.
AND NOW-- INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE.
HE SOUNDS MORE BELIEVABLE.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT TRUMP ANYMORE.
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU THRIEK TALK ABOUT TRUMP?
>> YES, I WOULD, YEAH!
I WOULD.
>> Stephen: CAN I MENTION THAT YOU'RE THE TICK COMING UP ON
AMAZON.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE THE TICK ON AMAZON, IT'S DONE.
>> THE TICK.
YEAH, I PLAY THE TICK, IT'S ON AMAZON AUGUST 25.
IT'S REALLY GOOD, RIGHT.
IT'S GREAT.
>> , OF COURSE, IT IS.
OF COURSE IT IS.
>> I'M NOT BEING EYE HOPE I DON'T COME OFF AS BEING
IMMODEST, BUT I'M GREAT IN THIS SHOW.
( LAUGHTER ) NO, NO.
IT'S VERY -- >> Stephen: AGAIN, AN
AMERICAN.
YOU'RE AN AMERICAN.
THE TICK HAS AN AMERICAN ACCENT.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU, CHRISTIAN BAIL, BRITS TAKING AMERICAN
SUPERHERO JOBS.
THIS IS WHY PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMP.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> YEAH, I AM, I'M A LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
I HAVE A VISA, AND, YOU KNOW, I-- I-- I FIND THAT KIND OF
TROUBLING THAT YOU WOULD BRING THAT UP, ACTUALLY.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT, ACTUALLY, ON THE-- I DO--
YOU KNOW, FOR SOME REASON THERE IS KIND OF SOME MYSTIQUE ABOUT
BRITISH ACTORS, YOU KNOW.
I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, THAT-- BECAUSE I CAN'T GET
ANY (BLEEP) WORK IN LONDON.
I REALLY CAN'T, YOU KNOW ( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: WE'RE SUCKERS OVER HERE.
>> AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE YOU'VE GOT AN ENGLISH ACCENT,
SUDDENLY YOU HAVE 500 POINTS.
"WOW, HE MUST BE SOME KIND OF INTELLECTUAL, AND, YOU KNOW, HE
MUST LEARN HIS LINES AND HE OBVIOUSLY KNOWS SHAKESPEARE."
ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE FALSE.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T KNOW ANY SHAKESPEARE?
>> SHAKE WHO?
NO, NO.
YEAH, ME, NOT REALLY.
MY WIFE IS AN ACTOR, AND SHE KNOWS LOTS OF SHAKESPEARE.
>> Stephen: AND YOU'RE NOT AN ACTOR.
>> NO, I AM AN ACTOR.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU JUSTIFIED HER KNOWING SHAKESPEARE BY
SAYING SHE'S AN ACTOR AS IF THAT'S FOR ACTORS, NOT FOR--
>> MAYBE SHE DOESN'T, AND THAT WAS ME DOING SOME GOOD ACTING.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
"THE TICK" PREMIERES NEXT FRIDAY ON AMAZON.
PETER SERAFINOWICZ, EVEYBODY.
