-Alright, sweetheart. I'm gonna go inside.
I'm gonna get your koala, okay?
But I need you to stay in the car.
Got it? -I got it.
-[ Taps car ]
-Sir, you have to leave the premises immediately.
You're not welcome here. -Uh-oh.
-Brother man, I'm going into that house to get something.
Either I go through you, or you go through me.
-You shouldn't have...
[ Both grunting ]
-Ew. -It's okay, baby.
We actually went to high school together.
We're just catching up. -Daddy, watch out!
[ Both grunting ]
-Aah! Oh!
Too young for this [Bleep].
-Welcome back to "Late Night.
Wwe're here with Ike Barinholtz, everybody.
-I'm tellin' you, that was good.
-This is a wonderful premise for a television show.
-Yes. -It's a whodunnit.
-Yes. -Almost like an Agatha Christie-style whodunnit,
where, over the course of each episode,
we see a different genre... -Yes.
-...based on the perspective of who's telling us the story.
You're the second episode, your character,
and it's lovely to watch because it's sort of an action episode.
-Yeah, my guy is --
Each genre is appropriate for that character,
and my guy is kind of a sad, middle-aged man.
So action movie felt natural. -Yep.
-I was very inspired by Vin Diesel,
but also Steven Seagal, because I, too, have trouble
raising my leg for a kick. -Yeah.
I've known you long enough to know that was not your leg.
-You don't know that. That could have been.
Depends on the angle. -If you did a headstand,
your leg wouldn't be that high. [ Laughter ]
-He's joking, folks. I'm very flexible in life.
-I want to get back to the show. Since we're talking about
flexibility and what-not, you have an issue to take with me.
-Yeah, I do. -Because we're
on a friendly text chain. -It was friendly.
It was friendly at one point. -I did not realize
that I had run afoul of your feelings like this.
-Yeah, so, we're on a text chain together.
And a couple weeks ago, Seth said, "Hey,
I saw 'West Side Story,' and you dance like --"
and he named one of the performers in "West Side Story."
And I was like, "Oh, thanks."
He says, "Yeah, it's not a compliment."
And that hurt my feelings so much.
Only because, Seth, like, we've danced together many times.
-Yeah, yeah, we have. -And you know the vibe I bring.
You know the [Bleep ] I bring on the dance floor.
-Yeah. -It's hot.
People are in a good mood when I dance.
-We always say it's like drinks at Tommy Bahamas.
-Yeah, it is. [ Laughter ]
And so, when you said that, I felt the need to kind of
have some people vouch for my dancing abilities.
So I've actually brought some clips.
Do you mind if I -- -Are these celebrity clips?
-Some of them are. -Okay.
-Alright, so, let's see what we got up there, folks.
Let's see, who do we have first who can vouch
and say that I'm a good dancer? What do we got?
-Hi, Seth. -Hi, Seth.
-I just wanted to tell you that Ike was a very good dancer.
He brings joy to people when he dances.
-Ike, we're very proud of you. Bye-vye.
-Okay. -That's my parents.
-That's great.
-And I thought they did a great job.
-And for your dad to take time off
from his job in the Irish Mafia...
[ Laughter ]
-The film "Belfast" was based off of
my father's real experience.
-Okay, first of all, so, that's just your parents.
-Are you saying they're liars?
-I'm just saying they maybe have a different standard
for what counts as good dancing. -So, if there was someone
who I wasn't related to, would that maybe --
-It would matter more. -Let's roll clip number 2, guys.
Let's see what we got. -Hey, Seth. It's Mindy.
Ike wanted me to reach out to you to tell you
that he's a really good... -Dancer.
[ Laughter ]
-Okay, so, right at the end... -Right at the end.
-...your voice. -No, sir.
Mindy had a cold. She had a head cold.
She said she didn't want to do it.
She said, "My voice is weird."
I said, "Just do it, Mind, please."
So, I mean, that's pretty much case closed.
-I think, case def still open. -Okay.
Okay, if there was someone you really loved and trusted
and really looked up to, even from an early age.
-Okay. -Let's roll that third clip,
please. Thank you.
-Hey, Seth, it's baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs here.
I heard you were talking smack about Ike and his dancing.
Just want to say, that's not cool, man.
Ike is a great dancer,
and when he starts moving, he gets everyone excited.
And you're no Fred Astaire, believe me.
-Boom. -Wade Boggs out.
-Okay, so, your childhood idol just basically said
you were acting like a [bleep]. -Yeah.
Now, I do -- I mean, I loved Wade Boggs, growing up.
I don't, like, trust him. [ Laughter ]
-What?! A Hall of Fame baseball player!
That cost me $300, man! [ Laughter ]
-You have the wrong cameo if that cost $300!
-It was either him or Franco Harris.
I don't have that kind of money. [ Laughter ]
-Hey, before we go -- and, again, congratulations
on the show. It's wonderful.
It's a great cast. -Thank you.
-Yeah, and we're gonna have dinner later,
and I don't want you to be like, "Hey, man, where was my plug?"
-Yah, no, I gotcha. [ Laughter ]
Um... -You, uh -- You know --
and, again, we've talked about comedy since the day we met --
we're both huge fans of David Letterman,
and he's gonna be here tomorrow night.
-I know, it's crazy. And I asked --
David Letterman is gonna be here tomorrow night.
-There we go. Finally popped one.
-That's the big one. -Finally popped one.
-That's the big one.
And I asked if I could be on the show again.
Shoemaker shut that down. -Yeah.
-Um, so, I was wondering -- I have a little gift,
if you could give it to Dave. -A gift?
Because again, it's the 40th anniversary of his show.
-Yeah, and I want him to feel like it's not --
you're not the only fan of his here.
So I have a nice headshot right there.
if we can get a nice tight shot of that.
It says, "To Dave, thanks for all the laughs.
Best, Ike Barinholtz." -That's great.
-If you could give that to Dave tomorrow --
-That's beautiful, because that definitely
just came right off a printer. [ Laughter ]
-No, I carry these in my carry-on.
You ever see him on a flight, folks, feel free to ask for one.
[ Laughter ] Free of charge.
Mention promo code "Late Night With Seth Meyers.
-You guys, that's Ike Barinholtz.
New episodes of "The Afterparty" are available Fridays
on Apple TV+.
We'll be right back with Bridget Everett.
-Right here on the couch. Right here.
