PLEASE WELCOME COBIE SMULDERS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> Stephen: NICE.
BEAUTIFUL!

IT'S QUITE GLORIOUS.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> Stephen: BEAUTIFULLY WELL.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
IS.
>> VERY WELL, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE JUST ON BROADWAY WITH KEVIN KLINE.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
>> I WAS DOING A PLAY CALLED "PRESENT LAUGHTER"
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HAD YOU DONE A LOT
OF BROADWAY BEFORE THAT.
>> THAT WAS MY DEBUT.
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS.
( APPLAUSE ) WAS THAT FREEING OR PARALYZING?
>> A BIT OF BOTH.
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY DREAM TO DO BROADWAY, TO DO THEATER, AND IT
WAS INCREDIBLE.
AND IT WAS WITH KEVIN KLINE AND IT'S SUCH AN AMAZING CAST DOING
A NO-POWER PLAY, IT'S KIND OF REAL.
>> Stephen: I HAVE TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR NAME.
YOU HAVE ONE TO HAVE THE GREATEST NAMES, COBIE SMULDERS.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: IT NOT MADE UP.
IT'S NOT.
>> Stephen: IT SOUNDS MAKE UP, LIKE NAMING MYSELF JACOB SIZZLE.
>> IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
>> Stephen: IT'S TOO LATE, UNFORTUNATELY.
( LAUGHTER ) I FOUND OUT SMULDERS IS NOT THE
MADE-UP PART.
>> NO, COBIE IS WHAT I GO FROM AND IT'S JACOBA MARIA FRANCES
SMULDERS.
IT'S REALLY INTENSE.
MY DRIVERS LICENSE HAS A FLAP THAT FOLDS OUT.
IT'S VERY INTENSE.
>> Stephen: HOW DID YOU GET SUCH A FANCY NAME?
>> FROM MY FANCY FOLK.
MY FATHER IS DUTCH, MY MOTHER EUROPEAN.
WE ALL HAVE ALL THESE NAMES.
>> Stephen: THEY JUST KEEP SHOVELING THE NAMES IN THERE?
>> FRANCESCA MARIA, VERY CATHOLIC.
IT CAME FROM DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY, SO YES.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE CANADIAN.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
150 YEARS.
>> Stephen: IT'S THEIR FOURTH OF JULY FOR CANADA.
( APPLAUSE ) ( PIANO RIFF )
WERE YOU ABLE TO GET BACK UP THERE FOR THE 150th?
>> NO, I WAS IN THE COUNTRY.
ON CANADA DAY, I DON'T REMEMBER A PARADE OR MANY FIREWORKS, BUT
WE WOULD BE IN THE WOODS IN A CABIN, NOT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,
BUT WE ONE DRINKING.
>> Stephen: ANYTHING ELSE INCREDIBLY STEREO TYPICAL?
>> NO, THAT'S IT.
>> Stephen: THE NEW SERIES IS FRIENDS FROM COLLEGE ON NETFLIX.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU DID NINE YEARS ON CBS WITH "HOW I MET YOUR
MOTHER."

>> Stephen: WHAT IS IT LIKE WORKING FOR NETFLIX AFTER
WORKING AT ONE OF THE BROADCAST NETWORKS?
>> WELL, THEY'RE BOTH GREAT.
>> Stephen: OF COURSE, THEY ARE.
>> LET'S OPEN WITH THAT.
THEY'RE EQUALLY GREAT EMPLOYERS.
"HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" WAS AN 8:00 P.M. SHOW.
IT'S NETFLIX AND YOU CAN SWEAR AND THERE IS NUDITY.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
THERE IS.
>> Stephen: WHAT KIND OF NUDITY?
>> LIKE SIDE BUMS.
>> Stephen: BUMS?
YOU ARE CANADIAN.
>> BOTTOMS.
>> Stephen: BOTTOMS, BUTTS.
ARE THERE A MICHAEL KEEGAN BUTTS IN THERE.
>> IT'S KIND OF CHEEKY.
>> Stephen: NICE.
NICE.
HEY.
>> BUT MOSTLY IT'S ABOUT THE SWEARING BECAUSE I MEAN THAT'S A
FUNNY THING ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING A SHOW AND YOU HAVE
FREE REIGN TO SAY THE F WORD WHENEVER YOU WANT, YOU START
SAYING IT A LOT.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
YOU FEEL FREE TO SAY IT AND YOU HAVE TO SAY IT TOO MUCH AND
THEY SAY, NO, YOU CAN'T SAY THE F WORD THREE TIMES IN A
SENTENCE, NOBODY TALKS THAT WAY.
SO I HAD TO BE REINED BACK IN FOR SURE.
BUT THEY'RE IN THERE.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN?
>> THIS IS A LADIES NIGHT OUT, AND WE DECIDE, WE GO TO
BELLLEMAN'S -- BEMMLEMAN'S BAR ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE AND WE
MEET A LOVELY GENTLEMAN AND PRETEND TO BE NOT OURSELVES,
DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
>> Stephen: JIM?

>> WE'RE HERE ON BUSINESS.
OH, WHAT KIND OF THE BUSINESS?
>> I AM MODEL.
S THAT RIGHT?
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.
>> TELL US EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR LIFE IN YOUR COUNTRY.
>> YES, I WILL DO.
I, UM -- I AM MODEL AND I AM ALSO SINGER.
>> WE'RE SINGER/MODEL ALSO.
LL, IF YOUR VOICES ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOUR FIGURES, THEN
WE'RE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE!
( LAUGHTER ) >> THESE ARE WONDERFUL MEN.
AMERICANS, AMERICA!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> YOU KNOW, IT'S FUN TO PRETEND
TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE.
