>>> IT'S BEEN 25 YEARS SINCE THE ORIGINAL "TWIN PEAKS" WENT OFF
THE AIR, BUT JUDGING BY ITS LOYAL FAN BASE YOU WOULD NEVER
KNOW IT. >> AND IT'S BACK FOR AN 18-PART
SERIES THIS SUMMER, AND KYLE McLAUGHLIN RETURNS AS AGENT
COOPER. >> AND HE'S HERE WITH THE INSANE
TWISTED FINALE OF "TWIN PEAKS" THIS PAST WEEKEND.
GOOD MORNING! >> GOOD MORNING.
>> GOT THE MESSAGE TO MATCH US. >> ALL BLUE.
DIDN'T WEAR MY BLUE EYE SHADOW. IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
>> PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY FOR "TWIN PEAKS."
CAN YOU EXPLAIN IT TO US? >> YES, I CAN EXPLAIN IT.
HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE? >> ABOUT AN HOUR.
>> OH, YOU KNOW. IT'S A CRAZY JOURNEY FROM THE
MIND OF DAVID LYNCH. LET'S PUT IT LIKE THAT.
>> DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON ALL OF THE TIME?
>> YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND WHAT I NEED -- WHAT I NEED TO KNOW, YOU
KNOW. SO AS A CHARACTER, I KNOW WHAT
I'M DOING, GOING THROUGH THESE SCENES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL SCOPE --
>> YES. >> THAT'S ALL DAVID.
THAT'S ALL DAVID LYNCH LAND. SO I LEAVE THAT TO HIM.
>> AS WE LOOK AT THIS VIDEO, WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO REVISIT
THE SHOW AND THIS CHARACTER AFTER 25 YEARS, AND TRY AS BEST
AS YOU CAN TO EXPLAIN KIND OF WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON.
FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT KNOW. >> OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, IN THE REINVENTION OF THE
SHOW, I PLAY A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT CHARACTERS.
HOPE THERE'S NO SPOILER FOR PEOPLE.
BUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS FOR ME, NOT
JUST DALE COOPER, WAS REALLY EXCITING.
SO I GET TO EXPLORE CERTAIN SIDES OF MY PERSONALITY THAT I
NEVER GET TO SEE BEFORE. SO THAT FOR ME WAS LIKE THE BIG
DRAW. >> SO MUCH FUN.
OKAY. SO DO WE KNOW IF WE GET TO HEAR
MORE FROM "TWIN PEAKS," ANOTHER SEASON?
>> YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN NO DISCUSSIONS YET.
SO NO WORD. >> NO WORD.
OKAY, SO BASICALLY YOU'RE LEAVING US WITH SOME QUESTIONS.
>> WE'RE LEAVING IT HANGING RIGHT NOW.
>> WE WANT MORE. >> THAT'S HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO -- IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE A FULL YEAR FOR EVERYONE TO ABSORB
AND FIGURE OUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
>> AT LEAST A YEAR. >> EXACTLY.
>> I AGREE. >> WHAT ABOUT "SEX IN THE CITY".
>> I WILL SAY REBOOTS ARE BIG. EVERYBODY WANTS MORE OF A GOOD
THING. >> LISTEN, IF I CAN FIT BACK
INTO THE COSTUME -- I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT.
>> I THINK YOU CAN DO IT, RIGHT? I'M PRETTY SURE YOU CAN DO IT.
>> THAT WOULD BE FUN. >> FOR ME, I'M A DIE-HARD FAN.
WHAT ABOUT "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES?"
>> THAT WOULD BE FUN. I LOVED WORKING WITH MARCIA
CROSS. THEY WERE ALL GREAT.
I HAD FUN WITH THAT. AND I GOT TO BE IN A WHEELCHAIR,
WHICH IS EVEN BETTER. JUST ROLL AROUND.
THEY DON'T EXPECT MUCH FROM YOU. >> YOU DON'T HAVE TO WALK.
SO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SUMMER. IT'S FALL, WHICH IS MAKING ME
SAD. >> I KNOW.
I'M SAD TOO. I AM TOO.
>> YOU HAVE TWO KIDS. >> JUST ONE LITTLE BOY.
WE TOOK HIM TO EUROPE. WE WENT TO EUROPE.
HE'S 9. JUST TURNED 9, GOING INTO FOURTH
GRADE. IT'S FANTASTIC.
>> SO HE'S STILL IN THE I LOVE DAD PHASE.
>> TOTAL I LOVE DAD. I CAN WALK HIM ALL THE WAY TO
SCHOOL AND TO THE DOOR OF THE CLASSROOM.
HE'S NOT SORT OF SAYING GOODBYE TO ME.
DAD, YOU CAN LEAVE ME AT THE CORNER, I'M FINE.
STILL THE BIG HUG BEFORE HE GOES TO SCHOOL.
>> AND MY LITTLE GUY, HE'S 8, STILL HOLDS MY HAND WHEN I CROSS
THE STREET. I'M NERVOUS ABOUT THE DAY WHEN
HE DOESN'T GRAB IT. >> I KNOW, I KNOW.
I'M WITH YOU. I'M LOVING EVERY MOMENT OF IT.
>> THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, RIGHT?
YOU HAVE TO EMBRACE EVERY MOMENT OF IT.
>> I AGREE. >> SO TELL ME THIS.
AFTER EVERYTHING SETTLES DOWN, WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, WE JUST WRAPPED UP "PORTLANDIA" SO
THAT'S GOING TO BE ON-AIR I THINK IN JANUARY.
GET TO PLAY THE MAYOR AGAIN. THAT'S A LOT OF FUN.
THERE I AM, SINGING AWAY. >> IT'S HILARIOUS.
>> I MADE THIS UP ON THE SPOT. >> YOU DID?
>> I DID. YEAH.
>> IMPROV. >> YEAH, THE DIRECTOR SAID, UH,
HERE'S THE MUSIC AND I SAID WHAT ABOUT THE LYRICS?
AND HE SAID NO, THAT'S YOU. END IT'S A LOVE LETTER TO
PORTLAND. GO.
>> WHAT -- WHERE DO I GO WITH THIS?
>> WHERE DO I START? I CHANNELED MY WILLIAM SHATNER.
RIGHT? ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU DO?
>> YOU MAKE DOING DRAMA AND COMEDY EQUALLY EASY.
>> YOU'RE INCREDIBLE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
VERY KIND. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> YOU CAN CHECK THE FINALE OF "TWIN PEAKS" ON SHOWTIME NOW,
WHICH WE'RE ALL GOING TO DO. WE'RE BACK IN A MOMENT, BUT
FIRST, THIS IS "TODAY" ON NBC.
