WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW"."
WE'RE HERE WITH OUR FRIEND, OUR COMPATRIOT, ROBERT De NIRO.
I DON'T THINK-- I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY TO GIVE LONG
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FOR US TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
>> I AGREE.
>> Stephen: JUST KEEP IT PITHY.
I'D LIKE TO DO A LIGHTNING ROUND OF SOME RAPID-FIRE QUESTIONS FOR
YOU RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE CALLING THIS "ANALYZE THESE."
( LAUGHTER )
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: GIVE IT A SHOT?
OKAY.
GREATEST ACTOR YOU'VE EVER WORKED WITH.
>> MYSELF.
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: THE GUY I IN THE MIRROR.
>> I HAD TO SAY THAT.
>> Stephen: OF COURSE, OF COURSE.
>> NO MARLON BRANDO WAS -- >> Stephen: BRANDO?
>> I LOVED MARLON BRANDO.
ALL ACTORS OF MY GENERATION LOVED MARLON BRANDO.
HE WAS A GREAT ACTOR.
TOWARDS THE END HE WAS NOT AS-- I DID A MOVIE WITH HIM ABOUT 15
YEARS AGO, AND HE WAS-- THE DIRECTOR SAID, "LOOK, IF YOU
WANT TO-- I'M THINKING OF GETTING BRANDO."
I SAID, "GREAT, GREAT, BUT JUST KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE WHAT IT'S
GOING TO BE."
IT WAS THAT.
HE'D COME ON, SAY THIS, DO THAT.
WE LOVED HIM, SO I DIDN'T CARE.
WHATEVER HE DID, WE'LL GO OFF OF THAT.
IS THERE DID IT HAVE A VAGUE RELATIONSHIP TO WHAT THE LINES
WERE?
>> NOT REALLY.
( LAUGHTER )
De NIRO MOVIE.
>> "THE IRISHMAN."
>> Stephen: THIS FALL.
THIS FALL.
WITH MARTIN SCORSESE, OKAY.
PERSON WHO DOES THE BEST ROBERT De NIRO IMPRESSION.
YOU LOVE MINE, RIGHT?
>> YOURS IS GREAT.
>> Stephen: "I'M BOBBY D.
I RUN THIS TOWN."
OKAY.
>> YOU'RE VERY GOOD.
>> Stephen: DO YOU KNOW WHO DOES A REALLY GOOD ONE?
>> ALEC BALDWIN.
ALEC DID A THING ON THE REUNION OF "GOD FATHER ONE AND TWO" THAT
I SAW THAT WAS SO FUNNY.
HE WAS MAKING FUN OF ALL OF US, ME, FRANCIS, PAKENO, JIMMY CAAN.
HE WAS GREAT, HAD ME IN STITCHES.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE BEST IMPRESSION YOU DO?
>> I DON'T DO IMPRESSIONS.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN-- DID YOU DO A ROBERT De NIRO?
>> WELL, WHAT-- YEAH.
>> Stephen: GIVE ME YOUR BEST De NIRO.
>> OH, COME ON, I DON'T-- GR I HEAR IT'S GOOD.
I HEAR IT'S REALLY GOOD.
( CHEERS )
STILL HAVEN'T DONE?
>> I SHOULD HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT.
BUT I DON'T.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
YOU FAILED.
>> I FAILED.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
HARDEST LINE YOU'VE EVER BEEN GIVEN TO DELIVER.
>> I CAN'T, OF THAT, EITHER.
BUT THERE ARE SOME-- YOU KNOW, JUST-- WHEN YOU GET A SCRIPT
THAT IS WRITTEN WELL, EVEN IF IT'S NOT YOUR OWN RHYTHM AND
IT'S ALIEN TO YOU, YOU KNOW IT'S WRITTEN WELL, IT'S MUCH MORE
EASY TO LEARN AND GET A SENSE OF IT AND A FLOW OF IT.
IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN YOU HAVE TO LEARN SOMETHING THAT IS NOT
COMING FROM A REAL PLACE.
>> Stephen: WE HAD LAURIE METCALF ON EARLIER THIS WEEK
OTUESDAY NIGHT, AND SHE SAID IT'S IMPOSSIBLE-- IT'S ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE WHEN YOU SEE IN A SCRIPT LIKE "SNEEZE."
CAN YOU ACT A SNEEZE?
>> YEAH, BUT THAT'S-- YOU KNOW.
I NEED ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR PREPARATION.
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
YOU HAVE TO-- YOU HAVE TO FORESHADOW IT AND EVERYTHING
LIKE THAT.
FINALLY-- AND THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION...
>> YES.
>> Stephen: HOW YOU DOIN '?
>> I'M DOIN 'OKAY.
THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
ROBERT De NIRO.
