You just made it here in time, so you literally just landed?
>> Just landed, yes.
>> And then drove like- >> Yes.
>> Crazy to get here.
>> Yes. >> Wow.
>> I'm not stupid, I know that's a bad idea.
But I did it because yesterday, was my son's second birthday in London,
which is 5000-ish miles away and I wanted to be there for that.
>> Yeah. >> And so
then I, [INAUDIBLE] so here, but I made it.
>> You're a good dad, that's really sweet.
>> For now. >> Okay, yeah, for now.
>> [LAUGH] >> So you got picked up for
another season, so that's fantastic.
That's another reason to stay there.
>> Yeah, yeah. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> How long have you been there now?
>> Coming up on three years.
>> Three years since you started shooting?
>> Yeah. >> And so
your children must have British accents.
>> Okay, the two year old doesn't,
he's just mishmash, I don't know what he's saying.
The four year old has a British accent because he started to talk there and
he has a British accent.
The six year old moved there at age three so, he's tried to hang on to his American
accent because he was already an established speaker when he got there.
The British girls think that that's cute, so,
he talks like a cowboy and the other one talks like a chimney sweep.
It's a fun little environment in my home.
[LAUGH] >> That's adorable but
I bet that its a very mixed American accent though.
>> Yeah, it's pretty strange.
>> And its boys or boys and girls?
>> All boys, I only make boys.
>> You only make boys.
[LAUGH] >> And it's my fault,
you know I only learned that a few years ago.
It's the man, their ingredients have the gendered juice in it, so, that's medical.
>> Gender juice is what it's called?
>> That's what it's called now.
>> I didn't know.
>> Yes, so, it's my fault they're all boys.
>> I see.
>> Well.
>> Well, had you known, but they're probably well behaved good boys.
>> Yeah, I like them.
>> Yeah.
>> [LAUGH] >> And what are they in to?
What kinds of activity?
Are they athletic cuz I know your wife is.
>> Yeah, I know which is why it was so fun to get her pregnant
three times in rapid succession because she's like a triathlete.
She's one of those annoying people who just like wakes up in the morning,
is like I'm just gonna do a quick triathlon before work.
>> [LAUGH] >> And like, [SOUND] cuz I'm a sloth.
>> [LAUGH] >> So she really does triathlons?
>> Yeah, ringing a bell, I have a sip of water, she's done two triathlons.
>> [LAUGH] >> Have you, do you wanna do one ever?
>> I did one once.
>> You did.
>> I did one once and I sort of enjoyed it but not enough to ever, do another one.
>> [LAUGH] >> Wow, but do you workout?
>> I run, I'm one of those people who say I love to work out but,
I like to eat a little bit more.
You know how when you get older and
people talk about, well you've got to exercise, really you don't to lose weight.
It's all about what you eat and I eat garbage by the buckets so,
I stay fat even though I work out a lot.
[APPLAUSE] [LAUGH]
>> That really is actually,
that easy to break it down like that.
So, Catastrophe,
tell everyone what the show is about >> Right.
>> How it starts and where you are now.
>> Well, I’m American.
>> Yes. >> In the show I’m also American, so,
I don't have to act and in the show >> [LAUGH]
>> I go to London on business and I meet
an Irish school teacher, played by Sharon Horgan, who also writes the show with me.
And we have a little one week stand, she falls pregnant somehow,
and then since we're not 22, we decided actually to follow through and
have the kid and then we kind of start to like each other and
then we become a family and terrible things happen.
You know the drill.
>> [LAUGH] So, it's a very honest and
funny look at marriage and a relationship that started in that way.
>> That is the goal.
>> Yes it is, it's very, very funny.
And Carrie Fisher plays your mom on the show and
she was there filming before she was flying back here.
>> Yeah, she was amazing, I mean,
it's unbelievable that we got to have her in the show.
In the first season we just kinda sat at her feet and we're, whatever you wanna do,
we can't believe you're here.
And then in season two we unwind a little bit, by season three we were friends, and
she was amazing.
And so she becomes a progressively larger part of the show because we just fell
more and in love with her and we're less terrified to say anything stupid or
unfunny around her because we knew that that would happen anyway.
And we became at peace with that and yes she's just amazing as you know and
we're so lucky to have her.
>> She was brilliant, she was really, really funny, very clever.
