WE'RE BACK WITH THE AUTHOR OF "THE LEGEND OF THE CHRISTMAS
WITCH."
AUBREY PLAZA.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS WHICH I'M A LITTLE BIT JEALOUS
OF.
YOU GOT TO WORK WITH THE BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED
MR. MICHAEL KANE, THE LEGEND.
>> MICHAEL CAINE.
>> Stephen: SURE, NICE PROMPT.
I LOVE HIM.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE TO WORK WITH
THIS MAN?
>> WELL, SPEAKING AS AUBREY, IT WAS-- IT WAS THE BEST.
MICHAEL CAINE IS THE BEST.
>> Stephen: HE'S AN HONEST TO GOD TELL YOU STORIES ABOUT THE
OLD DAYS.
>> OH, YEAH.
HE LOVES TELLING STORIES.
HE'S LIKE A CHILD.
LIKE, HE'S BEEN AROUND FOREVER.
HE'S SEEN IT ALL, BUT HE STILL HAS THIS CURIOSITY AND LOVE FOR
BEING ON SET.
HE KNOWS EVERYBODY'S NAME.
HE'S SO RESPECTFUL AND SWEET.
HE TELLS STORIES EVERY DAY.
HE WAS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT.
>> Stephen: AND A TREMENDOUS ACTOR.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE AN ACTING PROGRAM WITH HIM.
>> OH, YES.
HE TAUGHT ME A LOT.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> IT WAS LIKE A ROAD TRIP COMEDY.
SO WE WERE STUCK IN A CAR TOGETHER FOR A WHILE.
AND-- OH, YEAH.
AND HE WOULD-- HE WOULD DO STUFF LIKE-- HE WOULD BE LIKE, "NOW,
WHEN I'M GOING TO DO MY CLOSE-UP--" THIS IS A VERY BAD
IMPRESSION.
>> Stephen: PRETTY GOOD SO FAR.
>> "WHEN I DO MY CLOSE-UP, WATCH WHAT I DO.
I'M GOING TO SAVE THIS EYE FOR THE CAMERA, AND THIS EYE FOR
YOU.
AND I THINK YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME."
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
YOU'RE NOT A CHAMELEON.
>> I SAID,"MICHAEL, I'M NOT DOING THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALK ABOUT."
HE SAID, "I HAVE TWO ACADEMY AWARPDS AND YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO
WHAT I'M SAYING.
THIS EYE FOR THE CAMERA, THIS EYE FOR YOU."
HE TAUGHT ME, THE CAMERA IS HERE-- IF WE WERE IN A MOVIE NOW
AND THE CAMERA IS HERE, AND YOU WERE MICHAEL CAINE, YOU WOULD
SAVE THAT EYE FOR THE CAMERA AND THIS EYE FOR ME.
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO THAT.
DO IT TO ME.
OKAY, READY?
CAMERA IS HERE, ONE EYE FOR THE CAMERA, ONE EYE FOR ME.
>> YEAH.
I WANT A DIVORCE.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: YOU CAN HAVE ONE.
>> OKAY.
( LAUGHTER )
BUT WHEN WE DID IT, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT IT.
BUT I SWEAR TO GOD IT REALLY DOES WORK.
HE'S A VERY TECHNICAL ACTOR.
AND HE WOULD SAY, "I DON'T SEE THE BLOODY CAMERA ANYWHERE."
I WOULD SAY, "MICHAEL, YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE IT.
LOOK AHEAD AND SAY THE LINES."
HE WOULD SAY, "WHERE'S THE CAMERA."
HE LOVES TO PLAY THE LENS.
>> Stephen: ONE THING I FOUND OUT MICHAEL CAINE SAID AFTER
THIS MOVIE THAT THAT WILL BE HIS LAST MOVIE, THE MOVIE HE DID
WITH YOU.
AUBREY PLAZA, DID YOU BREAK MICHAEL CAINE?
( LAUGHTER )
SET IS WHAT I'M ASKING?
>> LOOK, I DON'T KNOW.
I BLACKED OUT.
( LAUGHTER )
EXPERIENCED THE BEST... YOU GOT TO WRAP IT UP.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: WILL YOU DO OTHER MOVIES OR IS MICHAEL CAINE YOUR
LAST, TOO.
>> I'M DONE.
I'M RETIRED.
ME AND MICHAEL GO OUT TOGETHER.
I DO WHAT HE DOES NOW.
>> Stephen: YOU'LL FIGHT CRIME.
>> WE'LL FIGHT EVERYBODY.
WE'LL TAKE EVERYBODY DOWN.
>> Stephen: LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, WHICH WAS ON ZOOM.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: I HAVE NOT SEEN YOU FOR YEARS IN PERSON.
>> A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE PANDEMIC, HUH?
>> Stephen: YES.
>> I DRESS LIKE THIS NOW.
( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERING )
>> Stephen: LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, YOU TALKED ABOUT DOING--
WE DID A SEGMENT CALLED "TEA AT THE PLAZA," WHERE AUBREY PLAZA
SPILLS THE TEA ON HER COSTARS.
I WAS WONDERING WHETHER YOU WOULD DO THAT FOR US HERE AGAIN
TONIGHT.
>> OH!
ALL RIGHT!
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP OF TEA BEFORE YOU SPILL THE
TEA?
>> WHAT KIND OF TEA IS IT?
>> Stephen: I HAVEN'T THE SLIGHTEST IDEA.
>> IT'S DANDELION TEA.
>> Stephen: IT IS?
HOW DO YOU KNOW.
>> I REQUESTED IT.
THE WITCH ONLY DRINKS DANDY LION TEA.
>> Stephen: DO YOU TAKE A SPOT OF CREAM.
>> NO.
>> Stephen: NO, OKAY.
MMM.
>> MMM.
YOU SMELL DANDELIONS.
>> Stephen: THAT IS LIKE DRINKING GRASS.
THANK YOU.
THAT IS JUST SOMEBODY MOWED A LAWN AND PUT IT IN A POT.
THERE YOU GO.
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT CHOICE.
EXCELLENT CHOICE.
( APPLAUSE )
DO YOU WANT-- DO YOU WANT A SAUCER?
DO YOU WANT A SAUCER THERE?
>> YES, DARLING.
>> Stephen: I WILL GIVE YOU THE NAME OF A COSTAR.
>> OH, GOD.
>> Stephen: YOU SPILL THE TEA.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: NO PRESSURE.
SPILL THE TEA ON MICHAEL CAINE.
>> MICHAEL CAINE, HE IS A NAUGHTY BOY.
HE LIKES TO STICK HIS TOES IN ELECTRICAL OUTFITS-- OUTLETS.
( LAUGHTER )
KRISTEN STEWART.
>> KRISTEN STEWART SMELLS LIKE CINNAMON AND GASOLINE, AND I
HEARD THAT SHE SECRETLY WANT MEAS TO OFFICIATE HER WEDDING,
BUT SHE'S TOO AFRAID TO ASK.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY.
MOLLY SHANNON?
>> OKAY, MOLLY SHANNON IS ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY LIVING CON
ARTISTS ALIVE TODAY.
( LAUGHTER )
I JUST-- I'M SERIOUS.
I JUST READ -- >> Stephen: SO FAR, I CAN
TELL.
>> MOLLY SHANNON CONNED HER WAY INTO HOLLYWOOD, AND SHE KNOWS
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
BECAUSE I JUST READ HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY, AND IT IS JUICY,
AND IT IS GOOD.
AND IT'S COMING OUT IN APRIL.
I'M GOING TO PROMOTE HER BOOK.
I DON'T GIVE A ( BLEEP ).
HER BOOK-- HER BOOK IS SO GOOD --
>> Stephen: DOES SHE REALLY HAVE A MEMOIR COME OUT IN APRIL?
>> YES, AND IT'S CALLED "HELLO MOLLY."
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S SO ( BLEEP ) GOOD.
I CRIED.
I LAUGHED.
IT'S BRILLIANT.
EVERYBODY SHOULD GET IT.
AFTER THEY GET THE OTHER ONE.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: YOUR BOOK.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: "THE CHRISTMAS WITCH."
THE OTHER ONE.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: ALL OF THAT WAS SCANDALOUS.
>> I KNOW.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A SCANDALOUS REVELATION, MOLLY-- I
MEAN, NOT MOLLY.
>> NO, I AM MOLLY.
>> Stephen: YOU GOT ME THINKING ABOUT MOLLY SHANNON.
I'M ONLY THINKING ABOUT MOLLY SHANNON NOW.
>> I WISH I WAS MOLLY.
>> Stephen: SPILL THE TEA ON AUBREY PLAZA.
WHAT DO WE NOT KNOW ABOUT AUBREY PLAZA?
>> AUBREY PLAZA IS BORING.
SHE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING INTERESTING.
SHE-- WHAT?
>> Stephen: NOTHING.
>> WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY?
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
>> SHE CAN PLAY THE SAXOPHONE, OKAY.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN PLAY-- SHE CAN PLAY THE SAXOPHONE?
( APPLAUSE )
SAXOPHONE?
>> YEAH.
YEAH, ME, BILL CLINTON...
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: WHO PLAYS THE SAXOPHONE BETTER, YOU OR BILL
CLINTON?
>> DEFINITELY BILL.
>> Stephen: HOW LONG DID YOU PLAY?
>> JUST SINCE WAS A LITTLE KID.
>> Stephen: HOW LONG DID YOU PLAY?
>> LONG, LIKE -- >> Stephen: CAN YOU BE ANY
MORE SPECIFIC?
( LAUGHTER )
HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STATED PLAYING?
>> OH, OH, I DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY, LIKE, FIFTH GRADE OR
SOMETHING.
I WAS JUST IN THE BAND OR WHATEVER.
>> Stephen: AND HAVE YOU KEPT IT UP?
>> YEAH, I TRY.
BUT IT'S A HARD INSTRUMENT TO WHIP OUT AND PRACTICE BECAUSE IT
REALLY ANNOYS OTHER PEOPLE.
>> Stephen: UNLESS YOU PRACTICE, AND THEN IT'S QUITE
DELIGHTFUL.
>> I PRACTICE IN THE WOODS SOMETIMES.
THAT'S WHERE I GET MY REAL WORK DONE.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: AUBREY.
>> STEPHEN.
THANK YOU.
