>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!
WE'RE BACK HERE WITH MR. BRYAN CRANSTON.
NOW, YOU STAR IN "JERRY AND MARGE GO LARGE."
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: I KNEW THIS STORY BEFORE THE FILM CAME OUT.
I LOVE THE STORY.
TELL THE FOLKS WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
>> A RETIRED COUPLE, JERRY AND MARGE SELBY, A REAL-LIFE COUPLE,
IN MICHIGAN, A VERY SMALL ONE, ONE TRAFFIC LIGHT.
HE HAS A BRILLIANT MATHEMATICAL MIND, WORKED FOR KELLOGG FOR
YEARS, 65 YEARS OLD, IT'S TIME HE RETIRED BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITH HIMSELF.
HE GOES TO HIS FRIEND, GAS STATION, SELLS MILK, COFFEE AND
LOTTO TICKETS AND READS THE TABLE TINT ON THE TABLE.
HE TAKES OUT HIS MECHANICAL PENCIL AND NAPKIN AND HE FIGURES
OUT THE RULES OF THIS, THE WAY THE GAME IS STRUCTURED, AND HE
SEES A MATHEMATICAL FLAW IN THE CONSTRUCT OF THE GAME AND HE
REALIZES THAT IF HE PLAYS AT A CERTAIN TIME AND A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF MONEY, THE ODDS ARE IN HIS FAVOR TO WIN.
SO HE GETS HIS ENTIRE TOWN -- VIRTUALLY -- AND HIS KIDS ARE
INVOLVED IN IT, AND THEY BET HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS, AND IT KEEPS GOING UP AND UP AND UP FORKS NINE YEARS
THEY PLAYED -- >> Stephen: AND THEY'RE
WINNING.
>> THEY'RE WINNING EVERY TIME BECAUSE IT'S MATH, IT'S EITHER
RIGHT OR WRONG, AND IT'S RIGHT, AND THEY END UP WINNING
$27 MILLION.
>> Stephen: WOW.
WOW IS RIGHT.
>> Stephen: THAT IS A HOPEFUL STORY.
>> YES!
IT WAS GREAT.
ANNETTE BENING PLAYS MARGE TO MY JERRY.
HE'S NOT ONLY A GREAT ACTOR BUT SUCH A LOVELY HUMAN BEING, SO WE
HAD A GREAT TIME.
>> Stephen: I DON'T PLAY THE LOTTO MUCH, BUT WE DO LIKE TO DO
SOMETHING ON THE SHOW WHICH WE CALL SACK, SACK, SACK, SACK,
SACK.
IT'S A THURSDAY SHOW, WE DO A SACK EVERY WEEK WHERE PEOPLE GO
AROUND, WRITE THEIR NAME ON A DOLLAR BILL, PUT IT IN A SACK,
AND THEY ACTUALLY PUT IT IN THIS SACK.
>> OH, OKAY.
>> Stephen: THEY PUT IT IN THIS SACK RIGHT HERE, AND THIS
IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL, BUT -- AND THEN WHAT I DO IS I PICK A NAME
OUT TO WHO THE WINNER IS.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: ACTUALLY, I PICK OUT TWICE.
I PICK OUT THE FIRST ONE, I GO TONIGHT'S LOSER IS, BECAUSE THIS
IS THE PERSON WHO WOULD HAVE WON IF WE WERE CHOOSING THE FIRST
DOLLAR.
AND I SAY, THE LOSER -- >> WHO DOES THAT?
>> Stephen: I DO THAT.
THAT'S JUST CRUEL.
>> Stephen: IT IS.
IT'S KIND OF FUNNY, THOUGH.
AND I DO THE WINNER.
AND IF IT'S A TOUGH WEEK I MATCH THE SACK.
SO WOULD YOU HELP ME?
>> THIS IS A RALE DEAL.
>> Stephen: THIS IS A REAL SACK FILLED WITH REAL AMERICAN
GREENBACKS IN THERE.
SO TONIGHT'S LOSER IS -- >> OH, MY GOD I HAVE TO PLAY
YOUR CRUEL GAME?
TONIGHT'S LOSER IS...
( DRUM ROLL ) -- IS TOM CARROLL.
>> Stephen: VIDEO ENGINEER.
SORRY, TOM.
>> I'M GOING TO GET YOU A BOTTLE OF DOS HOMBRES.
SO YOU'RE NOT A LOSER.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: TONIGHT'S WINNER
IS -- >> TONIGHT'S WINNER IS -- GEORGE
WASHINGTON?
OH -- >> Stephen: JESSE ANN DERRICK!
MAKEUP AND WARDROBE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> SACK, SACK, SACK, SACK, SACK!
>> Stephen: BRYAN.
VERY NICE.
>> Stephen: ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: AN ARTIST AND -- BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR
YOUR MONOLOGUES EVERY NIGHT TO MAKE US LAUGH THROUGH A LOT OF
THE PAIN.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: OH, YOU'RE VERY
KIND.
>> THANK YOU.
