-I was gonna say this is your first time here,
but I'd be lying -- this is not the first time.
-No, it's not the first time
I've been in this room. -Do you remember being here?
-I did -- I snuck in here to watch him.
-You were in the audience one night,
and I was going -- at the end of our show,
I usually go around and thank everyone for being here
and slap hands, and I go, "Thank you so much for being here."
I'm making my way down the aisle,
and I have a photo of it.
I'm like, "Wait, is that M. Night Shyamalan?"
-[ Laughs ] -There you are.
And that's me going, "What? Huh? Huh?"
How did you -- That's Steve Burke right there.
-Yeah, Steve Burke.
I was very impressed that you recognized me.
I thought you'd just think I was some random tourist Indian
or something. -No, no, no.
-You were just like, "Whoa!" -I'm a big fan. Absolutely.
But how did you end up coming to the show?
-We were upstairs, and then he said, "You wanna go watch this?"
And I was like, "I would love it."
So we snuck down here, and we just --
I didn't tell you, and we just watched it.
It was amazing. -I love that you were there.
-Yeah. -So cool.
-You were excellent. It was really amazing.
-You like the show? -I love it.
-Clearly I know you like The Roots.
-Absolutely. -And this is in Philly.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Do you ever -- Do you watch other movies and other TV shows?
I mean, or you just sit, like, in an empty room and go,
"I got to think of new ideas"?
-It's tough to watch something with me, I'll be honest.
The family doesn't like to watch anything with me.
If they're watching a TV show and I'll come in,
even if I don't say anything, it's --
I'm just judging the camera angles and the performances.
I try not to breathe differently,
but I'm, like, you know, sighing and I'm like,
"That's not the right -- That's not the right lens."
[ Laughter ] -You're like,
"This is so obvious. Don't you guys know what's gonna happen?"
-Yeah, and I just get up and walk out just disappointed
and sometimes I'll walk by
and they're in the den watching TV,
and I honestly will yell, "You're making a choice."
[ Laughter ]
-To watching bad TV? -Yeah.
-Do you hate when people give spoilers to, like, "Sixth Sense"
or anything? -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-But, I mean, even now? It's probably 20 --
is it 20 years old? -Yeah, but it's --
now there's a whole new generation watching.
We'll be screening "Sixth Sense" because its 20th anniversary,
and half the audience is new.
They're all new fans
that are watching "The Visit" and "Split" and "Glass,"
and they've never seen it.
So you guys can't say anything about what happened.
-Ever? I mean, you can't ever say --
Everyone knows the [whispering] "I see dead people."
-That's fine. You can say that.
-[ Normally ] Oh, you can say that?
-You can say that line, yeah, but don't say what happens.
-Oh, okay, but I can say "I see dead people"?
-Yes, that's fine. That's fine. Totally fine.
It's just a personal thing. -Did you know you had that take
once he said "I see dead people"?
You're like, "Got it." -Yeah.
When he said it, but when I wrote it,
I thought it was overwritten, and it is overwritten.
It's a little -- It's a little young for his age.
But I needed to get the plot all in one line,
and I was trying to -- so it's not particularly well written,
but he -- [ Laughter ]
-That's like one of the most famous lines in movie history.
-It's not. It's like --
He's 10 and I wrote it for, like, a --
it's really a 6- or 7-year-old would say it.
-Oh, yeah, I was really complaining about that
after the movie, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're off by four years. [ Chuckles ] Boo.
-I'm happy. -That was the best line ever.
I heard that one of The Roots
might've maybe screwed up a scene or something.
-Yeah, so we were -- So, this is literally what happened.
This is no joke. This is exactly what happened.
I'm shooting "Sixth Sense" in Philly,
and we had this scene,
and it's right when Bruce is outside the kid's house.
And I have it all set up, and somebody comes out of their home
and right in the middle of the take.
And it isn't somebody I can just let it roll
because it looks like a normal person.
This person has, like, this strange hair
and has a comb in their hair.
And I go, "Cut!
Who is that?!" -[ Chuckles ]
-And they're like, "He's a musician.
He's in this band called The Roots."
No joke, he came into "The Sixth Sense" when we were --
Questlove, man. How do you love that?
-That's got to make the 20th anniversary DVD blooper reel.
If you could find it. If you could find it.
-I should find that. That'd be perfect.
-That'd be great. -It was on film.
-So, "Servant," this new show on Apple TV Plus,
is set in Philly in a brownstone there,
and do you want to set it up?
I think you'd be better than me setting it up.
-Yeah, I shoot everything in Philly.
So, "Servant" basically is this story of a couple
that have tragically lost a child,
and they're doing this really fringe therapy
where they use a doll, where the mother's using a doll
and pretending her child is real.
And this is actually a therapy that exists,
and it's to help.
And she believes it so much,
she starts treating the doll so much like it's a live,
so she decides to hire a nanny.
And then the nanny comes
and immediately starts treating the doll like it's real.
-It's bizarre. -[ Laughs ]
-It is unbelievable.
I would compare it to almost
like "The Twilight Zone" or something.
It's in the way of, like, it's just so --
every episode's different, but it's so, like,
"Wait, what just happened?"
That is the most bizarre thing with this baby doll.
-It's really weird and cool.
We had the premiere here just two days ago,
and the audience just freaked out.
It was fun to watch them, them all screaming.
-It's called "Servant" on Apple TV Plus,
and it hasn't been said in public yet
and I just want to say it here while I can,
it just got picked up for a second season,
so congratulations. [ Cheers and applause ]
That's great, man. That's awesome news.
I wanna show everyone a clip.
Here's a peek at the first episode of M. Night Shyamalan's
"Servant" -- take a look.
[ Door opens ]
-So, I guess we should talk about this.
She's gone. You can put it down now.
-I'm fine as I am, Mr. Turner.
-[ Inhales deeply ]
-[ Exhales sharply ] [ Cheers and applause ]
M. Night Shyamalan, everybody!
