>> James: OUR NEXT GUEST IS ONE OF THE MOST
SUCCESSFUL STANDUP COMEDIANS ON PLANET EARTH, HE PLAYED TO OVER
800,000 FANS ON HIS RECENT BIG WORLD TOUR.
WHAT AN HONOR TO WELCOME MICHAEL McINTYRE TO THE SHOW.
HOW ARE YOU?
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
ARE YOU WELL.
>> SORRY, I DON'T NORMALLY CLAP MYSELF BUT THERE ARE SO FEW
PEOPLE, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO INJECT.
>> James: I THINK THAT IS VERY WISE, HAVE I GOT TO SAY I HAVE
ALWAYS DREAMT OF HAVING YOU ON TE SHOW AND I NEVER THOUGHT
THAT IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS, WHERE YOU WOULD BE ON THE SHOW
AND NEITHER OF US WOULD BE IN THE STUDIO.
>> BUT IT DOES VERY MUCH LOOK LIKE WE'RE IN THE SAME ROOM,
JAMES, YOU LOOK AT THE-- BEHIND YOU IT LOOKS LIKE I AM SITTING
DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU.
>> James: IF I DO THAT, YOU ARE THE OTHER SIDE OF THOSE
CURTAINS, THAT IS WHAT NO ONE KNOWS, WE ARE BOTH ISOLATING.
>> SITTING BACK TO BACK.
WE ARE BOTH ON THE BEIGEST ROOMS ON EARTH.
I THINK OUR STRATEGY TO FIGHT THIS VIRUS IS BEIGE.
I JUST THINK THE MORE BEIGE THAT YOU CAN GET IN YOUR ROOM AND I
CAN GET IN MINE, AND MAYBE WE CAN PEN THIS THING UP.
>> James: I ALSO THINK BEIGE MIXED WITH DARK BLOCK COLORS CAN
ONLY BE A GOOD THING FOR THE PHYSIQUE.
>> AND ALSO THE CAMERA, THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO ADJUST THE
CAMERA.
I DO A LOT OF MY ZOOMING HERE.
THIS IS HOW I FEEL THAT REPRESENTS ME BEST, YEAH.
I GOT THIS LIGHT THING TO TRY AND LOOK LIKE GOOD FOR YOU.
>> James: A RING LIGHT.
>> AROUND, WHAT IS IT CALL.
>> James: I THINK IT IS CALLED A RING LIGHT.
>> I CAN'T WEAR IT WITH MY GLASS, WHEN I DO IT, THIS STARTS
HAPPENING.
(LAUGHTER) SO IF YOU INTRODUCE ME LIKE
THAT, I MEAN THAT IS CRAZY, (LAUGHTER)
I DON'T KNOW HOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING THIS BUT I ASSUME THEY
ARE NOT SPECTACLE WEARING.
SO.
>> James: HAVE YOU BEEN DOING A LOT OF ZOOMING?
HOW DOES MICHAEL McINTYRE GET ON WITH THE ZOOM?
>> ASPECTS OF IT I REALLY ENJOY, JAMES.
I REALLY LIKE THE NAME THING BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY PERSONABLE
AND I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED YOU, YOU REMEMBER PEOPLE'S NAMES AND
PEOPLE KNOW THAT ABOUT YOU.
AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT JAMES IS GREAT AT THAT.
I KNOW NOBODY'S NAMES.
NOBODY WHO WORKS ON MY TV SHOW, I'M SORRY TO SAY, I DON'T KNOW
ANY OF THEIR NAMES.
I KNOW THEY ARE ON THE CREDIT BUT I'M NORMALLY REWINDING THE
SHOW, I DON'T KNOW THEIR NAMES, JAMES, I'M'S SORRY BUT ON ZOOM
WE HAVE THESE MEETINGS AND YOU JUST PUT YOUR MOUTH OVER THE
THING AND THE NAME POPS UP AND HAVE I BEEN GOING HUGE ON THE
NAME, SO I AM LIKE SO JASMINE, WHAT DO YOU THINK, YOU SEE THEIR
EYES, OH MY GOD, HE KNOWS ME, FIRST TIME I LEARNED THEIR
NAMES.
>> James: ARE YOU BACK IN BRITAIN.
HOW ARE THINGS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
>> SORRY, I WAS JUST READING MY MOUTH, YES JAMES CORDEN.
THINGS ARE GOING REALLY WELL.
I AM-- HOLD ON.
I'M FINE.
I'M 36.8.
YOU KNOW WHAT JAMES, HAVE YOU GOT ONE OF THESE.
>> OH, OUR HOUSE IS FULL OF THEM.
YOU CAN'T MOVE WITH EM THIS.
THE PHONE RANG THE OTHER DAY AND I PICKED ONE UP.
>> WHAT DO YOU RUN AT, BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW, I RUN AT 36.
>> WE ARE FAHRENHEIT, LAST TIME I DID ONE I WAS 96, 97,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> OH YES, I REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE I HAD IT ON THE WRONG
SETTING AND PUT MYSELF IN THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS
LIKE-- I'M FIVE TIMES HOTTER THAN THE AVERAGE HUMAN, I
REALIZED THIS IS A FAHRENHEIT THING.
>> James: LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR FIRST NETFLIX SPECIAL,
MICHAEL McINTYRE SHOWMAN, I WILL SAY T I THINK IT IS ONE OF
THE BEST SPECIALS I HAVE SEEN ON NETFLIX, CERTAINLY MY FAVORITE I
HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR.
I THINK IT IS SO BRILLIANT.
AND THIS IS, YOU TAKE TAPED THIS IN MARCH.
WAS THAT BEFORE, BECAUSE YOU WENT ON A HUGE WORLD TOUR, YOU
PLAYED TWO SOLD OUT SHOWS AT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL IN NEW
YORK.
YOU PLAYED STADIUMS AND ARENAS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
WAS THIS TAPED AT THE END OF THE TOUR?
>> YES, IT WAS A WEEK BEFORE THIS ALL HAPPENED.
IT WAS LAST MARCH 6th, WE RECORDED IT IN LONDON.
SO IT WAS JUST STARTING A LITTLE BIT.
WE MR. AT THE HAND WASHING PHASE BUT NOBODY WAS TALKING ANYTHING
SERIOUSLY.
THE FIRST THING I SAID WAS THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME WE GET
TOGETHER AS AN AUDIENCE THAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO GATHER TOGETHER.
NOT FOR A MOMENT DID I THINK THAT WAS TRUE.
IT WAS A COMPLETE JOKE, PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING.
I WAS MAKING JOKES ABOUT WASHING YOUR HANDS.
I THINK I INTRODUCED MYSELF ON STAGE BY SAYING LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE PUT YOUR HANDING TO AND WASH THEM FOR 30
SECONDS.
IT WAS ALL A BIT OF A JOKE.
AND THEN REALLY QUICKLY IF YOU REMEMBER, EVERYTHING RAMPED UP.
AND I HAD THIS MONTH OF HAVING THIS RECORD OF MY LAST DAY AT
WORK.
WHICH I HAVE BEEN WATCHING.
I AM TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO WATCH THE NETFLIX SPECIAL, I
HAVE SEEN IT A LOT.
I MEAN IT IS THE ONLY THING I'VE CLUNG ON TO.
IT IS THIS RECORD OF A LIFE I LEFT BEHIND BEFORE I GOT FLOO --
AND HAIR DRESSING AND CRYING WATCHING THE NEWS, BABYSITTING.
>> James: DO YOU FEEL LIKE THAT, DOES IT PLAY ON YOU, SO
MANY, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT
HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE YOU GET TO BE BACK OUT THERE AGAIN
AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU MISSING?
>> YEAH, I DID MISS IT A LOT, OBVIOUSLY.
JUST TO HAVE IDEAS TO EXPRESS TO AN AUDIENCE, BUT WE CLING ON TO
THAT, WHEN IT ALL COMES BACK, WHAT WHENEVER THAT WILL BE.
IT WILL BE SO JOYOUS.
YOU KNOW, I'M GOOD FRIENDS WITH THE AUDIENCE THAT IS FASCINATED,
ANTIBODY DAY PEOPLE IT IS GOING TO BE AMAZING BUT IT WILL BE
AWAKE AND I WILL BE WATCHING MY OLYMPIC SPECIAL UNTIL THEN.
>> YOU EVEN TALK IN THE SPECIAL ABOUT WHEN YOU PLAYED IN HONG
KONG, AND YOU COULD SEE PEOPLE WEARING WALKING AROUND AND
PEOPLE ARE WEARING FACE MASKS AM YOU CAN HAVE NO IDEA AT THE TIME
THAT THIS ROUTINE WOULD BE SO TOPICAL TODAY.
>> THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.
IT CHANGED SO QUICKLY.
I DO BECOME SLIGHTLY SELF-OBSESSED.
SO IT SAYS ABOUT KIM JUNG-UN.
HE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A GREAT GUY BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE A
JOKE.
IT WAS THAT WEIRD PERIOD WHERE THEY THOUGHT IT DIED AND MY
FIRST AUDIENCE-- CAN'T DO THAT JOKE SO I WAS LIKE SO EVERYONE
IS LIKE CELEBRATING THE KIM JUNG-UN, HIS REIGN IS OVER AND
I'M LIKE PLEASE, KIM, COME ON, SHOW YOURSELF.
AND AFTER A WEEK THEY FOUND KIM JUNG-UN AND I'M LIKE COME ON!
COME ON KIMIE BOY!
>> James: LET ME TELL YOU, I THINK THE SPECIAL IS ABSOLUTELY
BRILLIANT AND I THINK IT WILL BRING SO MUCH JOY TO SO MANY
PEOPLE PARTICULARLY IN THIS MOMENT THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A CLIP FROM MICHAEL McINTYRE SHOWMAN, HOW
ARE YOU SAYING.
>> YES, IT IS OPEN FOR INTERRUPTION, I ALTERNATE
BETWEEN SHOWMAN AND SHOWMAN.
