>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK TO "A LATE SHOW" EVERYBODY.
YOU KNOW MY NEXT GUEST FROM "THE OFFICE," "BRIDESMAIDS," AND
UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT."
PLEASE WELCOME ELLIE KEMPER!
WELL, WELL, WELL.
>> WELL, WELL.
>> Stephen: WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
>> TURN OFF THE PHONE!
>> GLF ELLIE KEMPER.
WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO, SOMEBODY GOOD?
>> I'M TEXTING MY MOM.
IT IS SOMEBODY GOOD.
IT'S MY MOM.
>> Stephen: HOW WAS YOUR MOTHER'S DAY?
>> MINE WAS GOOD, IT WAS-- IT WAS UNEVENTFUL, WHICH WAS GOOD.
I HAVE TO SAY THERE WASN'T THAT MUCH DOWN TIME.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T WANT AN EVENTFUL MOTHER'S DAY.
"HOW WAS YOUR MOTHER'S DAY?" "UNBELIEVABLY PACKED.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, WE STILL-- WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN ALL THE
CATTLE OUT OF THE YARD."
>> THEY'LL THEREBY UNTIL NEXT MOTHER'S DAY.
I LIKE A MOTHER'S DAY BLOWOUT.
>> Stephen: SURE, FIGHT, 50 FIST CUFFS YOU'RE BACK IN ST. LOUIS
WHERE YOU GREW UP.
>> YES, I AM.
I WAS WORKING IN MONTREAL WHEN EVERYTHING START GETTING SMUT
DOWN.
I WAS WITH MY FAMILY, MY TWO SONS AND MICHEL WHO YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: I DO KNOW HIM.
>> AND HE WAS IN MONTREAL.
SO WE DECIDED TO COME TO ST. LOUIS SO THE KIDS COULD HAVE
A YARD.
WE'VE BEEN STAYING AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE HERE, SINCE MARCH--
MID-MARCH, HOWEVER LONG THIS HAS BEEN.
>> Stephen: HOW HAVE YOUR KIDS LIKED IT?
HAVE THEY HAD A GOOD TIME.
YOU GUYS NORMALLY LIVE IN MANHATTAN-- NOT MANHATTAN BUT
NEW YORK.
>> WE DO LIVE IN MANHATTAN.
BUT COMING HERE HAS BEEN ONE SILVER LINING TO THIS AWFUL,
AWFUL SITUATION IS THAT MY KIDS HAVE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
OUTSIDE.
AND WE'RE STAYING NEAR-- THERE'S A LAKE NEARBY THE HOUSE WHERE
WE'RE STAYING.
AND THERE'S SO MUCH WILDLIFE.
THERE'S, LIKE, DEER AND TURKEYS, EVEN.
AND THERE ARE GEESE.
AND IT'S BEEN REALLY FUN FOR JAMES, MY OLDER SON, TO SEE ALL
THESE ANIMALS.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU ONE OF THE FIRST DAYS WE WERE HERE, WE WERE
GOING FOR A WALK AROUND THIS LAKE, AND JAMES WAS ON HIS
SCOOTER AND HE WAS GOING TOO FAST.
SO I SHOUTED AT HIM TO SLOW DOWN.
AND I GUESS I STARTLED A NEARBY GOOSE, AND I HAVE TO BELIEVE SHE
WAS A MOTHER GOOSE.
BECAUSE THIS WOMAN, THIS WOMAN GOOSE, SPUN HER HEAD AROUND.
SHE LOOKED ME STRAIGHT IN THE EYE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE
FAMILIAR WITH EXACTLY HOW FAST GEESE CAN RUN?
>> Stephen: AND THEY'RE MEAN.
>> OH, THEY ARE MEAN!
I KNEW SWANS WERE MEAN.
I DID NOT KNOW GEESE WERE MEAN.
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH.
>> SHE CAME SPRINTING TOWARD ME.
THEN BEGAN TO TAKE FLIGHT, AND SHE CLIPPED MY FACE WITH HER
WING.
LIKE, SHE-- SHE GOT ME.
>> Stephen: WOW!
GAVE YOU ONE OF THESE, WHACK!
>> A TOTAL WHACK.
AND THEN I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE.
WE WERE NOT DONE.
SHE THEN WHEELED AROUND-- I GUESS SPUN AROUND-- AND THEN
PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE WITH HER WING AGAIN.
AND IT WAS-- IT WAS-- IT WAS VERY-- IT WAS TERRIFYING.
>> Stephen: DID IT UPSET YOUR SON?
>> NO.
AND, IN FACT, EVER SINCE THE GOOSE ATTACK, DO YOU KNOW WHAT
HE SAYS TO ME?
>> Stephen: WHAT?
>> WELL I'LL TELL YOU.
HE SAYS, "I REALLY WISH I WEREN'T A PERSON I WANT TO BE A
GOOSE."
THIS IS AFTER SEEING HIS MOTHER BE ATTACKED BY A GOOSE.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> NOW HE WANTS TO BE A GOOSE.
SO YOU TELL ME -- >> Stephen: HAVE YOU-- HAVE
YOU REMINDED HIM THAT YOU ARE A VICTIMAVE GOOSE.
>> YES, I HAVE.
I SAID, "YOU KNOW, JAMES.
A GOOSE ATTACKED ME.
YOU WERE THERE WATCHING."
AND HE SAID, "I KNOW, MOM.
BUT HE DIDN'T GET ME."
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THAT.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT "THE UNBREAKABLE KIMMY
SMITS, THE INTERACTIVE."
AND HOW IS IT AN INTERACTIVE MOVIE?
>> IT'S VERY COOL, TINA FEY, AND ROBERT KARLIC, INNOVATORS
UNTIL THE END.
>> Stephen: TILL THE END?
THAT'S KIND OF GRIM.
"TILL THE END, YEAH."
>> THEY'LL BE INNOVATING UNTIL THAT TIME.
BASICALLY, YOU, THE VIEWER, CAN CHOOSE WHICH CHOICE YOU WANT THE
CHARACTERS TO MAKE.
AT VARIOUS POINTS IN THE SHOW, PRETTY MUCH EVERY FIVE OR 10
MINUTES, THERE'S A CHOICE THAT APPEARS ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR
SCREEN, AND THE VIEWER GETS TO DECIDE WHICH ROW HE OR SHE WANTS
TO GO DOWN.
>> Stephen: WAIT A SECOND.
HOW MUCH DOES THAT DECISION TREE KIND OF PICK YOUR OWN ADVENTURE,
HOW MUCH MUCH ARE.
MOVIE DID YOU HAVE TO SHOOT FOR THAT TO EXIST?
>> I KNOW.
SO MUCH MOVIE.
WE SHOT IT IN UNDER 30 DAYS LAST SUMMER.
IT'S NINE MOVIES IN ONE-- NO, 30 MOVIES IN ONE.
I JUST UPPED IT.
IT'S A LOT OF MOVIES IN ONE, AND KEEPING TRACK OF THAT WAS VERY
CONFUSING.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO PUT UP A PHOTO ON SCREEN HERE, AND IT'S
YOU AND YOUR COSTAR, TITUSS BURGESS, FROM THE BEGINNING OF
"KIMMY SCHMIDT."
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU WANTED THIS MOMENT MEMORIALIZED?
THAT'S AN UNUSUAL SHOT.
>> IT'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL SHOT.
THIS WAS DURING THE PILOT, THE FIRST EPISODE OF "UNBREAKABLE
KIMMY SCHMIDT."
AND BASICALLY WE JUST WANTED TO TAKE A SELFIE.
HE WAS GOING TO POST IT ON INSTAGRAM.
OH, WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER.
HOW MUCH FUN.
BUT WHEN THE PRODUCTION ASISTANT TOOK THE PHOTO SHOWED
US HIS PHONE, IT WAS SO-- IT LOOKS LIKETITUSS IS NAKED.
>> Stephen: IT IS.
>> LET'S CALL IT WHAT IT IS.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS NOT WEARING ANY CLOTHES.
>> Stephen: AT THE VERY BEST FROM THE WAIST DOWN HE'S VAPOR,
LIKE A JEANIE.
>> Stephen: I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE IS BETTER.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> TO BE HONEST.
THE REASON HE DIDN'T HAVE A SHIRT ON, IS HE WAS TAKING A
SHOWER IN THE WORLD OF THE SHOW.
SO ANYWAY, WHEN I SAW THIS PHOTO, AGAIN, IT'S SO VERY
STEAMY, THAT I STARTED LAUGHING UNCONTROLLABLY.
AND ONE THING THAT HAPPENS TO ME SOMETIMES WHEN I LAUGH TOO HARD,
I DO WET MY PANTS.
I HAVE ALWAYS DONE THAT.
AND WHY STOP NOW?
SO I STARTED TO WET MY PANTSZ.
AND THIS IS WHEN I KNEW TITUSS WAS MY FOREVER FRIEND.
I GO, "OH, MY GOSH.
I'M SO SORRY.
I'M WETTING MY PANTS RIGHT NOW."
AND HE SAID, "EWWW."
THAT'S ALL HE SAID WAS EWWW.
THE BOTTOM OF HIM WAS VAPOR.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE STILL SITTING ON HIS LAP WHEN THIS
HAPPENED?
>> YES.
HE TOOK IT ALL-- I HOPPED UP WHEN I REALIZED --
>> Stephen: AND YOU STAYED FRIEND.
THAT'S A GOOD MAN.
HOLD ON TO THAT ONE.
I WILL FOREVER.
>> Stephen: THE THE INTERACTIVE SPECIAL
"UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT: KIMMY VS. THE REVEREND" IS
AVAILABLE NOW ON NETFLIX.
ELLIE KEMPER, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
THANKS ELLIE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
BYE.
