MY NEXT GUEST IS A TONY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR WHO SPENT
SEVEN SEASONS ON "THE GOOD WIFE."
HE NOW STARS IN THE NEW CBS SERIES, "INSTINCT."
>> WOW.
NICE HARLEY.
>> IT'S DETECTIVE FUCCI'S.
HE LOVES IT MORE THAN HIS CHILDREN, MUCH MORE.
THE PRECINCT IS GOING TO EMAIL THE PHOTOS.
>> DON'T TELL ANYONE TO FOLLOW YOU EVER AGAIN.
I'M SURPRISED YOU WEREN'T PULLED OVER.
>> AS YOUR BOSS, ALL I CAN SAY IS GET USED TO IT.
>> "BOSS?" I HAVE A THING WITH AUTHORITY.
>> THEN I'M ORDERING YOU TO GET OVER IT.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME ALAN CUMMING!
♪ ♪ ♪
>> Stephen: HI YA.
>> HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING.
>> Stephen: GOOD, HOW ABOUT YOU?
>> STILL ALIVE.
>> Stephen: GOOD.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> YOU, TOO.
>> Stephen: YOU KNOW, THE-- I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT.
YOU-- DID YOU MEAN TO LOOK LIKE A PRIEST?
YOU'VE GOT THAT LOOK.
EVEN THE HAIRCUT RIGHT NOW.
>> BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU, MY CHILD.
A NAUGHTY PRIEST.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: A LITTLE BIT.
NAUGHTY PRIEST.
I LOVE YOUR ACCENT.
I THINK I'VE SAID THAT TO YOU BEFORE.
BUT IN THIS YOU'RE AN AMERICAN.
>> I'M AN AMERICAN, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: AND YOU SAY, "NICE HARLEY."
THAT MUST BE HARD FOR YOU TO SAY WITHOUT A SCOTTISH ACCENT
BECAUSE-- SAY HARLEY WITH A SCOTTISH ACCENT.
>> HARLEY.
>> Stephen: IT SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER THAT WAY.
>> IT'S SO FUNNY.
I ACTUALLY LOVE THAT-- I DO NOT DRIVE A MOTOR BIKE-- RIDE A
MOTOR BIKE IS WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY.
>> Stephen: MOTORCYCLE.
>> SEE I DON'T HAVE THE LINGO AT ALL.
I HAVE A MOTORCYCLE DOUBLE.
AND IT'S SO HILARIOUS, BECAUSE SOME SHOTS, HE COMES ALONG THE
STREET LIKE THIS, AND THEN IT PANS OVER-- ALL IN ONE SHOT--
PANS OVER TO BOJANA-- THE GIRL IN THE SHOW WITH ME.
MEANWHILE, HE GETS OFF THE BIKE LIKE THIS AND I RUN IN AND GO...
( LAUGHTER ) YOU REALLY THINK IT'S ME, BUT
IT'S NOT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: SHOW BUSINESS!
>> SMOKE AND MIRRORS.
SORRY TO DISILLUSION YOU, KIDS.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE GOT A SIDE HUSTLE GOING ON RIGHT NOW,
BECAUSE YOU WON A TONY FOR CAN THE CABARET."
>> YEAH
>> Stephen: AND NOW YOU HAVE OPENED--
>> NO AGREEMENTS.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE OPENED A CABARET.
IT'S CALLED "CLUB CUMMING."
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: IT'S A HOT SPOT.
PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP AT THIS THING.
>> OH, YES, IT'S BUSY.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION-- FIRST OF ALL,
WHERE IS IT?
>> IT'S IN THE EAST VILLAGE.
IT'S A BAR IN THE EAST VILLAGE CALLED CLUB CUMMING.
ACTUALLY, RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANY CABARET,
BECAUSE WE HAD THE WRONG KIND OF LIANCE AND WE HAD TO STOP.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS THE LICENSE FOR.
>> BACKGROUND MUSIC, WE REALIZED.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU NEED?
>> WE NEED A LICENSE FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE AND D.J.s.
IT WAS A CLERICAL ERROR, A BUREAUCRATIC ERROR ON OUR PART.
SO WE'RE BEING VERY DILIGENT AND COMPLYING, AND WE HAD OUR FIRST
MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY BOARD, AND THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL.
>> Stephen: OKAY, GOOD, GOOD.
>> YEAH.
AND SO -- >> Stephen: YOU KNOW, YOU
KNOW-- >> I'M LIKE A POLITICIAN.
>> Stephen: YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GET IN GOOD WITH
GOVERNOR NIXON OVER THERE.
>WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE
CLUB?
WHY DID YOU START A CLUB?
>> WELL, IT WAS BECAUSE-- ACTUALLY, ALONG THE STREET HERE,
WHEN I WAS DOING "CABARET" THE MUSICAL NEXT DOOR AT STUDIO 54,
I WAS DOING "THE GOOD WIFE" AT THE SAME TIME, AND I THOUGHT I'M
NEVER GOING TO HAVE ANY FUN.
SO I BROUGHT THE PARTY -- >> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU MEAN?
>> WELL, I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO GO OUT.
I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO GO TO A BAR BECAUSE I HAD TO GET UP SO
EARLY FOR FILMING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
SO I MADE THE BAR HAPPEN IN MY DRESSING ROOM.
AND I GOT COMPARDE SPONSORED MY BAR.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A LIQUOR SPONSORSHIP.
>> YOU LIQUOR.
YOU BROUGHT HER.
>> Stephen: ALAN!
YOU WORK FOR CBS NOW, MY FRIEND.
>> SORRY ABOUT THAT.
>> Stephen: COME ON!
>> IT'S LIKE A PAVLOVIAN RESPONSE WHEN ANYONE SAYS
"LIQUOR."
>> Stephen: WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALIZE ALAN MIGHT HAVE HAD A
PROBLEM?
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WHEN HE GOT A LIQUOR SPONSORSHIP.
>> BASICALLY, I HAD A BAR IN MY DRESSING ROOM, AND EVERYONE CAME
AND FRIENDS WOULD DROP BY.
WE GOT A BIG NEON SIGN SAYING, "CLUB CUMMING," A RED ONE, WHICH
NOW HANGS IN THE REAL CLUB CUMMING.
AND I WOULD DO POP-UP CLUB CUMMING PARTIES AND I WOULD DO A
D.J. AND A BAND.
AND MY FRIEND DANIEL SAID WHY DON'T WE HAVE AN ACTUAL BAR?
THAT'S WHY.
I WANTED TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND GENDERS
AGENDERSAND SEXUALITY WOULD COME >> Stephen: LET ME GIVE PEOPLE
AN IDEA OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT GO ON THERE.
THE CLUB PROMISES DOWNTOWN DEBOTCHRY-- I DON'T HAVE A LOT
OF ROOM IN MY SCHEDULE FOR DEBOTCHRY RIGHT NOW.
A SENSUALLY SEDUCTIVE SLUMBER PARTY.
PARTY HOSTED BY WITCHES AGAINST FASCIST TOTALITARIANISM.
AND YOU HAD ONE PERFORMANCE BY A MAN WHO-- WHO MAKES PAINTINGS--
HE PAINTS WITH HIS PENIS.
( LAUGHTER ) IS IT BROADBRUSH STROKES OR
POANTS-A-LISM?
WHAT ARE WE MISSING?
>> IT'S A VERY BIG BRUSH.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
NOW, HERE'S THE THING, HERE'S THE THING, IS THAT I DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE, THEY'RE GOING TO BLUR
THIS, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
>> YOU CAN'T SEE A THING.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, AND YET I'M PRETTY
SURE-- MAYBE THIS ENTIRE THING IS GOING TO BE BLURRED, EVEN
YOU, BECAUSE YOU LOOK FAR TOO INTERESTED IN HIS WORK.
SO THIS IS ON YOUR INSTAGRAM, RIGHT.
>> I'M LIKE A CURIOUS GEORGE.
THAT WAS ON MY INSTAGRAM, YES.
>> Stephen: GO TO HIS INSTAGRAM TO SEE THIS.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULDN'T SHOW THAT.
>> Stephen: THE ONE THING I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT YOU GOING
BACK TO DO ANOTHER TELEVISION SERIES IS THAT, AS GOOD AS YOU
WERE ON "THE GOOD WIFE," YOU'RE A BROADWAY PERFORMER.
YOU'RE A GREAT SINGER.
WHY CAN'T YOU HAVE A SHOW ON TV-- WHY CAN'T "INSTINCT" BE A
MUSICAL?
>> WELL, MAYBE IT COULD, STEPHEN COLBERT.
>> Stephen: WHAT!
