>> HI!
>> Stephen: NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK.
>> I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK.
I LOVE THIS PLACE.
>> Stephen: OH, WELL, THEY EVIDENTLY LIKE YOU, TOO.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, THANKS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HAPPY 2020.
HAPPY 2020.
DOES IT FEEL JUST TOO SOON FOR THAT?
LAST YEAR WAS OVER IN A HEART BEAT!
>> Stephen: OH, IT SEEMED ETERNAL TO ME.
( LAUGHTER ) LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, WE HAD
A LOVELY TIME TALKING, AND YOU LET ME DO SOMETHING YOU SAID YOU
NEVER LET ANYBODY DO, AND I'M NOT ASKING ANYBODY TO DO, BUT I
RAN MY FINGERS THROUGH YOUR UNBELIEVABLY LUXURIOUS HAIR.
>> YOU'RE VERY KIND.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THANK YOU.
YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S EVER RUN THEIR FINGERS THROUGH
MY HAIR.
NO ONE.
MY HUSBAND IS NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH MY HAIR.
THAT JUST SHOWS THE LACK OF RESPECT I HAVE FOR HIM COMPARED
TO YOU.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU STOP HIM, IS IT IN THE PRE-NUP?
>> IT'S IN THE PRE-NUP.
>> Stephen: THAT'S JUST AN INVITATION.
>> HE KNOWS I'LL DIVORCE HIM IF HE TRIES TO TOUCH MY HAIR.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: HOW WERE YOUR
HOLIDAYS?
>> IT WAS THE MOST HEAVENLY EXPERIENCE.
>> Stephen: DID YOU GO SOMEPLACE FANCY?
>> I DID MY SOPHIA.
IT'S MY FAVORITE PLACE ON THE PLANET.
>> Stephen: I BET IT'S GRANS.
IT'S JUST NICE.
IT WAS NICE TO BE HOME TWO WEEKS AND NOT WORK.
I LOVE MY JOB BUT IT'S NICE TO HAVE A BREAK.
>> Stephen: DO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS EVER TALK ABOUT MARIE
CONDO?
SHE'S VERY HOT NOW.
>> WHEN ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT HER.
>> Stephen: IS THERE A CHANCE OF A CROSSOVER?
>> I'M NOT GOING TO SAY NO.
WE WOULD LOVE TO.
WHO KNOWS.
WE'VE ASKED MANY TIMES.
SHE'S THE MOST LOVELY PERSON.
>> Stephen: I'VE HAD HER ON RIGHT HERE AND I'VE JOINED HER
CULT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> I JOINED HER CULT!
>> Stephen: SHE'S LIKE AN ELF!
SHE'S WONDERFUL!
>> I MET HER A FEW TIMES AT EVENTS AND SHE SEEMS TO GET
SCARED BY ME BECAUSE I SPEAK REALLY FAST AND I GET VERY
EXCITED.
>> Stephen: IT'S THE HAIR.
I SAY, OH, I'M SO EXCITED, REALLY FAST, AND IT'S JUST NOT
GOOD.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HER STYLE.
>> SHE LOOKS INCREDIBLE, ALWAYS.
SHE'S SO CHIC.
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.
>> Stephen: DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH
FASHION?
YOUR FIRST MEMORY YOU HAVE OF IT.
>> I STARTED OUT IN FASHION IN MY GRAND-DAD'S FACTORY WHEN I
WAS SEVEN.
IT WASN'T CHILD LABOR.
I WASN'T GETTING PAID.
HE'S A REALLY GOOD GUY.
>> Stephen: IT WASN'T CHILD LABOR BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T
GETTING PAID?
THERE'S ANOTHER WORD FOR THAT AND IT'S WORSE THAN CHILD LABOR.
( LAUGHTER ) >> I LOOKED AT SO MUCH --
>> Stephen: WHAT WERE YOU MAKING.
>> DENIM.
>> Stephen: DENIM, OKAY.
O I GOT TO SEE SOMETHING GO FROM A BOLT OF FABRIC TO AN
ACTUAL PIECE OF CLOTHING.
I COULD MAKE A DENIM JACKET BY THE TIME I WAS 13 WHICH IS VERY
DIFFICULT.
SO MY GRAND-DAD DIED AND I LOVED HIM VERY MUCH AND I NEVER
UNDERSTOOD WHY HE GOT RID OF THE FACTORY.
I ASSUMED IT WASN'T DOING WELL.
I WROTE, THIS IS WHERE I GOT MY FIRST START IN FASHION, THIS IS
WHERE I MADE DENIM BECAUSE MY GRAND-DAD HAD A FACTORY THAT
MADE DENIM FOR DISNEY.
MY SISTER SAID YOU'VE GOT TO STOP TELLING THAT STORY.
SAID WHY?
SHE SAID, YOU WERE TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER WHY THE FACTORY CLOSED
DOWN.
WE WERE MAKING KNOCKOFFS.
( AUDIENCE REACTS ) ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: WOW!
WOW!
AND THEY -- AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS, THEY HAVE
LAWYERS.
( LAUGHTER ) >> THEY DO.
I THINK THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IS OKAY.
AND, ALSO, HE'S PASSED AWAY.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
>> Stephen: NOTHING IS BEYOND MICKEY.
GO GET 'EM!
( LAUGHTER ) OKAY, YOU HAVE A NEW SHOW.
IT'S CALLED "NEXT IN FASHION" WHICH THE HOST IS ALEXA CHUNG.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WHAT'S NEXT IN FASHION?
FASHION ME UP.
>> LET ME TELL YOU TWO THINGS REALLY QUICKLY.
THIS IS THE FIRST SHOW I'VE DONE AWAY THERE THE BOYS, BUT ALEXA
CHUNG IS FORMIDABLE, AND THE SHOW IS SUPER EXCITING.
I PROMISE YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT.
IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCES OF MY
LIFE.
IT WAS A REALLY FUN SHOW AND THE DESIGNERS ARE INCREDIBLE.
THAT'S AS FAR AS WHAT'S IN STYLE, CAN WE TALK ABOUT
MENSWEAR?
>> Stephen: I HOPE.
LAST TIME WE MET YOU WERE WEARING A VERY PECULIAR TIE, A
VERY KOOKY TIE.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
BUT I'VE SEEN YOU MANY, MANY TIMES AND YOU ALWAYS LOOK VERY,
VERY NICE, BUT -- ( LAUGHTER )
THERE IS SOMETHING FASHIONABLE NOWADAYS THAT YOU HAVEN'T
STARTED WEARING YET.
>> Stephen: IS THIS IT PAUSE THEY HAVE SOMETHING BACK HERE.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: MAY I SHOW IT?
YES.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
LET ME EXPLAIN!
( CHEERING ) ( APPLAUSE )
( PIANO RIFF ) ( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> OKAY --
>> Stephen: BY THE WAY, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT --
( AUDIENCE CHANTING "STEPHEN" ) >> Stephen: YOU BETTER WATCH
OUT, DISNEY'S GOING TO COME AFTER YOU AGAIN BECAUSE YOU
STOLE THIS FROM THE LION KING.
( LAUGHTER ) WHAT AM I WEARING?
>> LET ME EXPLAIN.
I KNOW IT'S NOT FOR EVERYBODY AND MAYBE NOT FOR YOU EITHER,
HOWEVER, WHAT I WILL SAY IS THIS ( LAUGHTER )
-- ANIMAL PRINT IS A HUGE PRINT FOR 2020, IT WAS BETWEEN THIS
AND A SOLID SATIN JACKET WHICH I THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLY MORE 2020.
BUT LET ME SAY, IF YOU WERE TO TAKE OFF THIS TIE AND JUST HAD
THE SHIRT OPEN, HE WOULD LOOK CHIC WEARING A PATTERN JACKED.
>> Stephen: THEY SAID HE'S GOING TO WANT YOU TO WEAR A
PATTERNED JACKET AND I SAID WHAT ABOUT THE ONE I WORE LAST YEAR
WITH MY WIFE.
>> YOU LOOK POSH ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YOU LOOK SUPER SUPER HOT BUT YOUR WIFE OVERSHADOWED YOU.
>> Stephen: AS SHE ALWAYS DOES.
>> YOU LOOK VERY GOOD.
>> Stephen: OBVIOUSLY, I GET TO KEEP THIS?
>> YOU CAN KEEP IT SO YOU CAN BURN IT LATER IN A CEREMONY,
YES.
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: HAPPY NEW YEAR.
