LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY NEXT GUEST IS AN ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM
"AN EDUCATION," "JACKIE," AND "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN."
HIS NEW SHOW IS "INTERROGATION."
>> HE'S IN HERE?
>> I DIDN'T THINK A BOY CULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IF WE CLEAR HIM, I'LL SLEEP A LOT BETTER TONIGHT.
MR. FISHER.
>> WHAT?
>> WE CAN'T ASK ERIC TO TAKE THE POLY.
IT HAS TO BE HIS IDEA.
UNDERSTAND?
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME, PETER SARSGAARD!
♪ ♪ ♪
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING NOW.
>> Stephen: BLOWING CIZS FROM A DISTANCE?
THAT'S NICE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> THANK YOU, NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS.
I THINK WE JUST MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY WEEKEND.
>> DID YOU.
>> Stephen: 49.
>> I TRIED TO MISS IT.
>> Stephen: WHY?
IT'S GREAT.
YOU HAVE THE BIG ONE COMING UP NEXT YEAR, 50.
>> I'M GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT YEAR TRAINING TO RUN 50
KILOMETERS.
>> Stephen: NOW HOW MUCH IS THAT IN EVERYBODY DISTANCE?
>> EVERYBODY DISTANCE?
I THINK IT'S 31 MILES.
>> Stephen: WOW.
SO MORE THAN A MARATHON.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WHY?
WHY?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> YOU KNOW, I GUESS OSTENSIBLY BECAUSE IT'S 5-0.
IT'S 50.
IT MAKES SENSE.
BUT ALSO BECAUSE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO WHEN I TURNED 40.
>> ALSO RAN 50 KILOMETERS, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE.
>> Stephen: IT DOES NOT.
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY.
>> THIS FRIEND OF MINE, THIS RETURN, SCOTT JURICK.
AMERICA'S GREAT LONG-DISTANCE RUNNER.
HE WAS IN THE BOOK "BORN TO RUN."
HE SAID HE WANTED TO HONOR THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER TED CORPET,
WHO WAS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN RUNNER-- PLAWZ.
YEAH, TED CORBETT, A NEW YORKER.
AND HIS TRAINING ROUTE WAS ONE LAP AROUND MANHATTAN, WHICH
TURNS OUT, IF YOU DO THE WHOLE ISLAND, WE STARTED AT THE UNITED
NATIONS, WE ENDED THERE, IS 50 KILOMETERS.
SO I RAN THAT WITH HIM.
>> Stephen: IS IT EYE NICE RUN?
>> IT WAS A NICE RUN.
IT'S NOT SO NICE UNDER THE F.D.R., AS YOU'RE COMING IN FOR
THE HOME STRETCH.
AND IT WAS RAINING, AND NO ONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT, LIKE,
CHAFING.
>> Stephen: OH, NO.
>> AND I WAS ACTUALLY FINE IN EVERY OTHER WAY.
I WAS TOTALLY PREPARED.
I WAS-- YOU KNOW, SO WHEN I WAS 39, I TRAINED FOR WHEN I WAS 40.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> IT'S SOMETHING I DO EVERY DECADE.
AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT, YOU KNOW, ON ALL THE PLACES, YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO PUT SOME STUFF.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LUBRICATE YOUR NIPPLES.
>> YES, YOU ARE, AND YOUR ARMPITS AND YOUR GROIN.
I DIDN'T DO ANY OF IT.
AND I WAS WEARING THESE SHORT-SHORTS, AND IT WAS RAINING
SO IT WAS JUST...
( SLAPPING ) AND FOR THE HOME STRETCH THE
ONLY THING ON MY MIND WAS GET ALL OF MY CLOTHES OFF OF ME AND
JUST LIKE DO THAT.
>> Stephen: WAS THERE ANYTHING LEFT FROM THE RUBBING WHEN YOU
GOT THERE?
OR DID YOU LOOK LIKE A KEN DOLL WHEN THEY TOOK EVERYTHING OFF.
YOU'RE IN THE UPCOMING "BATMANMENT.
>> I AM.
>> Stephen: "THE BATMAN" WITH ROBERT PATTENSON.
THERE'S A NEW CHARACTER CREATED FOR THE MOVIE CALLED GIL COLSON.
>> YEAH, AND I'M A DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
AND I'M BASICALLY A POLITICIAN THAT HAS TROUBLE TELLING THE
TRUTH.
>> Stephen: OH.
WHAT A NOVEL IDEA.
>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: NOVEL IDEA.
OF COURSE FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER,
YOUR LOVELY WIFE, MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, WAS ALSO IN "THE
DARK KNIGHT."
>> SHE WAS.
>> Stephen: DO YOUR CHILDREN HAVE TO CHOOSE WHICH NON-BATMAN
CHARACTER FROM A BATMAN MOVIE THEY LOVE MORE?
ARE THEY PREPARED?
ARE YOU GOING TO PUT THE SCREWS TO THE KIDS?
>> HERS OF SO LOVELY.
HER CHARACTER.
I'M A PRETTY DISTASTEFUL PERSON.
DADDY DOESN'T PLAY NICE PEOPLE, TYPICALLY, TYPICALLY.
THE GUY IN THIS IS NOT VERY NICE.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A NOVEL APPROACH TO WORKING ON A BATMAN
MOVIE, BECAUSE THIS IS-- IF I HAVE THIS RIGHT-- IS THIS YOU UP
ON THIS FRONT-END LOADER?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THIS IS YOU BUILDING A BAT HOUSE.
THAT THING ON THE TOP SAY BIRD HOUSE BUT FOR BATS?
>> IT IS.
YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, BATS WANT TO BE UP HIGH TO PROTECT THEM
FROM PREDATORS.
AND THIS THING IS A BOX, AND IT'S VERY SHALLOW, BUT IT'S BIG.
AND YOU PAINT IT BLACK BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO BE AT 100 DEGREES
OR SO.
>> Stephen: OH, REALLY?
>> AND THEY GET ALL REAL TIGHT IN THERE.
UNDERNEATH TYOU CAN SEE, I HAVE A COMPOST HEAP FOR MY GARDEN AND
THERE'S ( BLEEP ) ON THE COMPOST.
AND THEN THAT GIVES ME MY-- MY NITROGEN.
YOU KNOW WE NEED THAT.
>> Stephen: WE DO.
>> AND SO I ACTUALLY WENT TO PATTENSON AND THE DIRECTOR AND I
SAID, "I HAPPEN TO KNOW ABOUT THEM.
WE HAVE OVER 200 BATS IN THAT BAT HOUSE," AND THAT'S PRETTY
GOOD, CONSIDERING WITH THE WHITE NOSE FUNGUS THAT IS KILLING A
LOT OF BATS IN THE NORTHEAST, LIKE, SIX MILLION.
WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM.
>> Stephen: YOU DO KNOW A LOT ABOUT THAT.
>> YEAH, I DO.
SO I WENT EYE WENT TO THEM, AND WE'D BEEN WORKING ON THIS SCENE
FOR DAYS.
AND I SAID, ," YOU KNOW, ACTORS TYPICALLY DO A THING CALLED AN
ANIMAL EXERCISE, YOU KNOW.
LIKE YOU WOULD SAYUE KNOW, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT PLAYING BATMAN.
I'M PLAYING THIS POLITICIAN.
MAYBE I'M A HEDGEHOG.
A PORCUPINE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> Stephen: A BABOON SPINE.
>> AND I GO THROUGH A LITTLE WALK AND GO THROUGH IT ALL.
AND I SAID, "I HAPPEN TON ABOUT THEM.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?" THEY BOTH KIND OF LOOKED APT ME
AND I TOOK OUT THE PICTURES TO SHOW THEM WHAT I WAS TALKING
ABOUT.
YOU TYPICALLY HEAR BATMAN PLAYING SOTTO VOCE.
AND I SAID, A BAT IS AN ANIMAL THAT GOES LIKE
( SCREECHING ) AND THEY FLY REALLY ERRATICALLY.
AND THEY LIKE TO BE REALLY TIGHTLY PACKED WITH EACH OTHER.
SO WOULDN'T IT BE COOL IF YOU HAD A SCENE WHERE YOU JUST WERE
LIKE, , YOU KNOW, LIKE, GETTING REALLY, REALLY UPTIGHT WITH
PEOPLE.
AND, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU FLEW, YOU DIDN'T FLY LIKE
GRACEFULLY, BUT IT WAS KIND OF LIKE THIS.
AND, YOU KNOW.
ANYWAY, I TOLD THEM ALL THESE STORIES ABOUT BATS AND
EVERYTHING, AND EVERYBODY JUST KIND OF LOOKED AT ME.
AND I REALLY MEANT IT.
I WAS LIKE, "WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING
DIFFERENT."
( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE )
YEAH.
>> Stephen: I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT MOVIE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT MOVIE.
>> GOOD.
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE 50K.CAN.
"INTERROGATION" IS AVAILABLE ON "CBS ALL ACCESS" NOW.
PETER SARSGAARD, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
