This show has an awesome set up, it really is a huge hit,
it's already been picked up for additional episodes
and it's only been--
(applauding)
It's super creepy, it's super great.
I was just saying, she's so beautiful,
I said, "There is no way you are Tom Payne's mom!"
Like, give me a break! And I said,
"It's mathematically possible."
(laughing)
It's vegan, you're vegan,
it holds a little bit longer!
It sticks up there! Yeah, yeah, oh yeah!
(laughing)
So Tom was just here.
Yeah I know!
He's so delightful.
The best!
He's so delightful!
We have to give him more food though, he's far too thin.
You know, he's running himself ragged for us right now,
it's fine, he was out killing zombies
and now it's all like-- Exactly,
he's off killing zombies and now he's the son
of the psycho-- He can't sleep
and he's gotta find killers, bless his heart!
(laughing)
Michael Sheen's awesome in this show, he's so--
Come on!
The cast of this show is so good.
Well first of all, give them the set up if they're like--
Yeah! One of the 1% of people
that have not caught on to the show yet.
No, that just means you have it ahead of you,
so that's the great news.
Our show is really asks the question
what if your father were Hannibal Lecter?
'Cause you know, we all think--
Or your ex-husband, in her case.
In my way, exactly, my ex-husband.
But it really, you know,
we're all sure our parents ruined us,
we all don't wanna grow up to be our parents,
but this just sort of takes it to the next level.
So, brilliant Michael Sheen is playing a person
who was "The Surgeon."
In 1998 he got arrested for killing 23 people.
A lot!
I mean, he's off in Hannibal Lecter land,
so he's alone, sort of in a jail cell.
But he's so delicious, like everything he does
you're just like-- Well he's so good!
And we get to do flashbacks--
You like him!
So you see us more happy.
Like, you don't wanna be in a room with him,
but you really like him.
No, no, exactly.
He's so good at being creepy!
Exactly, exactly and Tom is our son.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so Tom saw his dad arrested
when he was like 9-years-old and it changed his whole life
and so he's grown up and he has this nature nurture thing
because he knows all about murder
and he's so intrigued by murder,
but he's trying to use it for the good by being a profiler.
Were you a fan of this type of show?
I'm a scaredy-cat I, well you were talking about watching,
like, "good" growing up.
I watched like, when I was growing up
they'd play "Dracula" and "The Mummy" and all of that
on Saturday afternoon.
And I would hide behind the recliner,
and watch it like that,
literally I'm a real scaredy-cat.
I'm the polar opposite.
I watch horror movies and I giggle.
(audience laughing)
Seriously.
No, no!
So what attracted you to this?
Oh the writing, the script was
just incredible. It's just so good right?
It's so good and, you guys, my part is Jessica
and she's just so delicious, she's so dry and raw--
Oh, I love dry humor.
Oh, I just did, and they said Michael Sheen,
they said New York, I mean there's just so much to love.
Right!
Yeah, yeah.
And, you know, on your old show,
they're putting up pictures of you guys Halloween-ing out.
(applauding)
Do you dress up every year?
Not every year, 'cause sometimes, you know,
other people have worked very hard to dress me up
as another person already, so I need to respect that work.
But as a child I always wanted to be Cleopatra,
just every year, all I wanna do is Cleopatra.
You wanna rock that wig!
Oh my gosh and I would have my wonderful outfit
and this Greek jewelry, and it would be sunny
until October 31st and my mother would make me put on a coat
and I would get so mad.
(audience laughing)
So, yeah.
It was really bad for us, we were in upstate New York--
Oh yeah, you're freezing.
No, some years you had to wear the snowsuit
underneath the costume.
(audience laughing)
I always am impressed with the people
that think of things that are like "Freudian slip,"
you know, things like that.
So I always wanna think of something sort of,
I don't know--
Ironic!
Ironic or nebulous that you're like "Ah!"
But I haven't thought of it yet.
Ah, I get it.
But I'm a late, I'm a late one 'cause, you know,
I only have a few days now, so.
What about your new gang, are you guys doing something
as a team, are you filming around then or?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll be filming
and we have a great episode coming up
for next week for Halloween.
Yeah, oh my god.
Oh my gosh. You're teasing,
you're here to sell, come on!
There are rabbits involved.
Halloween, yeah, we'll just--
Kill the rabbit, right?
You remember Bugs Bunny?
(laughter and applause)
Anyway, nice to see you again
my friend. It's so good to see you!
And "Prodigal Son," congratulations!
Oh, thank you!
(applause)
