-Welcome back to "Late Night."
We're here with Timothy Olyphant.
I'm so excited about this.
You know I've said this in the past,
I'm a huge fan of the show "Justified,"
which had a wonderful run.
And now you've just finished shooting
a new limited series, 8 new episodes of the show.
-Yeah. -Raylan Givens is back.
-Yeah. -But even more exciting,
your daughter, your youngest daughter,
has been cast in the show.
-Can I just say the first thing that went through my mind?
"Is it more exciting?"
[ Laughter ]
I mean...
I'm happy for her, don't get me wrong,
but why is --
I'm still, underneath this bull[bleep] exterior,
just a neurotic actor. -Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry.
-And all I heard there was, somehow my kid coming back
was more exciting... -Let me rephrase that.
Just a fraction as exciting as you being back.
It's barely news that your daughter is in it.
-My daughter is playing my daughter
in the "Justified" revival. -That's exciting, yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah.
-She's still a teenager, right? -She's a teenager.
-So what's it like having a teenage daughter on set?
-I don't recommend it.
[ Laughter ]
You know, here's the downside.
She, uh...
Here's one of the things about "Justified" in particular
is that over time, you've earned a little bit of reputation
where perhaps people, and just how you are,
the number on the call sheet,
people can be a little bit nervous around you
or feel intimidated,
and they're just very careful around you.
We hired the one person, guaranteed,
doesn't feel that way at all.
[ Laughter ]
In fact, she's not only not nervous around me,
she's kind of over it.
-Yeah. -You know what I mean?
So it's such a strange thing to be working with your daughter,
and you're, like, gonna give a note or a suggestion...
-'Cause it should be known, you're also an EP on the show.
You're a producer on the show.
-That's what I kept reminding her.
[ Laughter ]
'Cause she's like, "Dad, no. Stop it.
[ Laughter ] Ugh!
God!
Just leave me alone."
[ Laughter ]
I'm like, "I'm the star of the [bleep]...
You can't..."
Do you know what it's like
to have to whisper to your daughter,
like, "You can't talk to me like that."
[ Laughter ]
On the set of your own show?
It's terrible. -Yeah.
-I was like, "Nobody talks to me like that.
This is like..." Yeah.
It was really quite lovely.
-It's a bummer that she's also playing your daughter,
which she does in real life.
I know you're not the same person,
but she must feel like she knows exactly how to do it.
-Seth, that's me. -Yeah, that's you?
You're Raylan Givens? You are? -Pretty much.
-Well, to quote Snoop Dogg...
[ Laughter ]
-That's what I'm trying to get across.
-Which you've begged us to do.
-It was an incredible experience.
I have to say, she was remarkable,
and it was a joy to work with her.
She worked very hard.
She auditioned for it,
and I wasn't surprised that they hired her.
It was really special. -That's very cool.
I did hear she did some on-set polling.
What was the polling she was doing?
-Oh, she did all that bull[bleep]
where she would put, like --
she'd write, like, "Favorite Olyphant"
on a big board
and put my name and her name.
[ Laughter ]
Look -- the crew's laughing!
I lost in a landslide.
[ Laughter ]
Like, a landslide.
[ Laughter ]
It was like, one "Star Wars" geek
that voted for me.
He's like, "Oh, I saw him in 'The Mandalorian.'"
He was the only guy who gave me a vote.
It was terrible. -Yeah.
-No, she was terrible. -Oh, I'm very sorry.
I'm very sorry that your life continues to be so rough.
[ Laughter ]
I really, I cannot wait to see "Justified" coming back,
and I'm very excited about "Amsterdam" as well.
-That's very kind of you.
I'm just thrilled to be here.
It's great to see you. -It's always great to see you.
-I'm in town, by the way.
-I know, you're here for three months.
-So we can... -If anybody drops out,
you'll be here, right?
-That's what I'm saying. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
It's coming across loud and clear.
You guys, that's Timothy Olyphant!
-Thank you.
-"Amsterdam" is in theaters Friday, October 7th.
