( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> VERY GOOD!
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND YOU CELEBRATED A BIRTHDAY.
>> I DID.
WHEN I'M 64!
>> Stephen: OH, THAT'S A BIG ONE.
>> IT IS A BIG ONE.
>> Stephen: I'M SORRY I MISSED IT.
WHAT DATE IS IT?
>> OCTOBER 9.
>> Stephen: THAT'S GREAT.
THAT'S MY ANNIVERSARY.
>> SERIOUSLY?
>> Stephen: YEAH, JUST DID 25 YEARS.
>> JOHN LENNON'S BIRTHDAY, ALSO.
25 YEARS.
>> Stephen: 64 YEARS, THAT'S AMAZING!
( LAUGHTER ) DID YOU DO ANYTHING TO CELEBRATE
IT?
>> I SURVIVED IT.
>> Stephen: OKAY, GOOD.
GOOD.
>> NO, I WAS IN L.A., WHICH WAS GREAT, WHICH I'M USUALLY --
>> Stephen: YOU LIVE THERE NOW?
>> NO, I'M IN NEW ORLEANS, BUT I HAD A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF SO I'M
ACTUALLY IN MY OWN BED WITH MY OWN WIFE AND THAT WAS PRETTY
GREAT.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A GOOD PLAN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THAT'S AN EXCELLENT PLAN IF YOU WANT TO
LIVE TO BE 65.
( LAUGHTER ) >> I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
WHEN I SAID THAT BUT THANK YOU FOR BAILING ME OUT AND NOT
CALLING ATTENTION TO IT.
>> Stephen: NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
ARE YOU ENJOYING 64?
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, AGE -- I HAD TO GET A NEW LICENSE, RIGHT,
BECAUSE THERE'S A THING IN L.A.
WHERE YOU HAVE TO GET A REAL I.D., YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR
THUMB PRINT AND IT'S A WHOLE NEW THING TO FLY IN TWO YEARS.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND THEY SCAN YOUR THING
AND -- >> YEAH, THE WHOLE DEAL, RIGHT.
SO IT'S A NEW HIGHER TECH.
>> Stephen: TO DRIVE?
NO, TO FLY IN L.A.
>> Stephen: OH.
O AFTER 2020, YOU CAN'T USE YOUR REGULAR OLD LICENSE TO
BOARD AN AIRPLANE, SOUTH ANOTHER LAYER OF SECURITY.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
O YOU CAN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT AT THE D.M.V. IN
CALIFORNIA.
I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS HERE BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
SO I DRIVE AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GO TO OXNARD TO GET THIS THING.
MY ASSISTANT FILLED OUT THE FORMS AHEAD OF TIME.
I DIDN'T DO IT, BUT I GOT THERE.
( LAUGHTER ) I'M NOT SWIFT WITH THE ONLINE
STUFF.
SO I GET OUT THERE AND SHE HANDS ME THE FORM, I HAD A
10:00 APPOINTMENT, SHE TOOK ME AT 10:08, AND I THOUGHT THIS IS
GOING GREAT.
I GET THE THING, MAKE SURE THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT.
THE NAME, AGE IS CORRECT, DATE OF BIRTH, SEX IS CORRECT --
WELL, MAYBE THAT'S ALL GOING TO CHANGE SOON.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT WE HAVE M.F., WE'LL ALL JUST
HAVE M.F.
THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
SO I GET TO WEIGHT -- I'M A LITTLE THINNER THAN I USED TO
BE.
I LET THAT GO.
I'M GOING TO GET IN AND OUT.
SO I'M RUSHING.
EYE COLOR GREEN, GREAT.
THEN I GET TO HAIR, AND IT SAYS BROWN.
AND I HAVE A HAT ON.
SO I ADD THAT MOMENT IN LIFE WHERE I'M THINKING I WONDER IF I
COULD STILL GO WITH THE BROWN HAIR THING.
SO I ASKED THE LADY, RIGHT?
I SAID, BECAUSE I'M WORRIED IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME TO CHANGE IT.
SO I TAKE MY HAT OFF AND I SAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHAT DO YOU THINK MY HAIR IS?
WHAT COLOR?
SHE SAID, GREY.
SO I SAID, OKAY.
SO CHANGE THE GREY AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND SHE SAID, BY THE WAY,'RE ARE YOUR 18 QUESTIONS FOR YOUR TEST.
GOOD LUCK.
>> Stephen: 18 QUESTIONS?
I SAID, WHOA, NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT A TEST.
SHE SAID, I'M TELLING YOU NOW.
>> Stephen: DO THEY SPRING THEM ON YOU ON PURPOSE?
WHAT'S THE UPCAPITAL OF NEBRASKA?
>> IT'S NOT OMAHA.
>> Stephen: IT'S LINCOLN.
I KNOW.
SO NOW I'M PETRIFIED BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE TO OXNARD
AGAIN IF I FLUNKED THE STUPID TEST AND WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU STUDIED ANYTHING FOR A DRIVERS TEST?
18 QUESTIONS, MULTIPLE CHOICE.
THE LEGAL AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL YOU CAN HAVE IN YOUR SYSTEM IS .01,
.05, .08 WHERE YOU'RE CONSIDERED LEGALLY UNDER INFLUENCE, WHAT'S
THE ANSWER?
>> Stephen: .01.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
YOU'RE WRONG.
YES, .08.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A LOT OF BOOZE.
>> THAT'S A LOT OF BOOZE.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN PARTY IN CALIFORNIA.
>> YEAH, AND IF YOU WEIGH A CERTAIN AMOUNT, IT'S EVEN LESS.
IT'S A SO I MISSED THAT AND NOW I'M
STARTING TO PANIC.
NOW I GET TO, IF YOU FIND OUT YOU HAVE SOME MEDICAL CONDITION
THAT AFFECTS YOUR ABILITY TO DRIVE, YOU SHOULD, A, CONTACT
THE D.M.V., B, CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR, C, CONTACT YOUR
INSURANCE AGENT.
>> Stephen: CONTACT YOUR LAWYER BEFORE YOU ANSWER ANY
MORE QUESTIONS.
( LAUGHTER ) QUESTION IS IT?
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?
>> Stephen: I THINK D.M.V.
YOU GOT THAT ONE RIGHT.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
I SAID INSURANCE.
>> Stephen: I KNOW MORE THAN SCOTT BAKULA.
>> YEAH, YOU DO.
>> Stephen: DID YOU FAIL?
NO, THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO I MISSED.
BUT I WAS TERRIFIED.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE ALLOWED JUST TO GET 16 OUT OF 18?
>> WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?
>> Stephen: I WANT THE PEOPLE I'M DRIVING WITH TO BE PERFECT
AT ALL TIMES.
>> OH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: 16 OUT OF 18 TIMES I GO DRIVING, EVERYTHING IS
GREAT.
TWO OUT OF 18 WHEN I'M A MANIAC OUT THERE.
( LAUGHTER ) YOU JUST CELEBRATED AN IMPORTANT
MILESTONE, 100 EPISODES OF "NCIS: NEW ORLEANS."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) FOUR AND A HALF YEARS?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: 100th EPISODE IS TOMORROW NIGHT.
THIS IS THE LOVELY CELEBRATION.
>> YES, IT WAS A BIG CELEBRATION WITH A BIG-ASS CAKE.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE DONE A TON OF SHOWS BEFORE.
YOU MUST HAVE HIT 100 BEFORE.
>> NO, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AND I WAS VERY SUPERSTITIOUS.
"QUANTUM LEAP" 97.
"STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE" 98.
SO I'M GETTING CLOSE TO 100 AND I'M GETTING NERVOUS.
HERE COMES HURRICANE GORDON, SERIOUSLY, UP THE GULF OF
MEXICO, HEADING STRAIGHT FOR NEW ORLEANS, AND I THINK,
REALLY?
THE STUDIO'S GOING TO BLOW AWAY, THERE WILL BE A GIANT FLOOD AND
I'LL NEVER GET TO 100.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU MADE IT.
YEAH, HURRICANE GORDON TURNED AND WENT TO THE EAST AND WE
AVOIDED THE HURRICANE, I GOT TO 100, AND IT'S PRETTY COOL AFTER
ALL THESE YEARS IN THE BUSINESS TO GET TO IS HUNDRED.
YOU DON'T ALWAYS DO THAT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN.
"NCIS: NEW ORLEANS" AIRS TUESDAYS AT 10:00 ON CBS.
SCOTT BAKULA, EVERYBODY!
