( LAUGHTER )
IT'S A BIG FIELD THIS YEAR.
I WILL JUST LAY CARDS ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW IS THAT I DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THESE FEELINGS.
( LAUGHTER )
THAT ALL THE TIME, RIGHT?
YOU MUST FACE THAT ALL THE TIME.
>> WE LOVE IT!
>> Stephen: PEOPLE SEE YOU AND IT'S TRULY A GENUINE EYE KIND OF
ALMOST DON'T WANT TO DO MY JOB RIGHT NOW.
I WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YU GUYS.
>> LET'S JUST HANG.
LET'S MAKE THOSE DRINKS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
AND LET'S JUST HANG.
>> Stephen: IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE YOU GUYS HERE.
LET'S EXPLAIN TO THE PEOPLE SORT OF EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
RIGHT NOW.
IS THE "BRADY BUNCH" HOUSE ON HGTV HAS BEEN COMPLETELY-- WELL,
"THE BRADY BUNCH" HOUSE WE ALL SAW FROM THE EXTERIOR WAS
RENOVATED TO BECOME THE ACTUAL "BRADY BUNCH" HOUSE.
PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW THE EXTERIOR SHOT, THAT'S NOT THE ACTUAL
HOUSE.
>> THAT WAS A PHOTOGRAPH.
>> Stephen: A PHOTOGRAPH FROM WHERE?
>> FROM A HOUSE IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD.
IT'S ON DILLING STREET.
I HAD NEVER BEEN THERE.
>> YEAH.
>> I DON'T THINK A LOT OF US HAD EVER BEEN THERE.
>> WE HAD-- WE HAD NO CLUE.
I HAD A FRIEND WHO INVITED ME TO THAT HOUSE TO HAVE DINNER, NOT
TELLING ME ANYTHING.
WE HAD A MUTUAL FRIEND.
I WENT OVER TO THE SOUSE.
WE SAT DOWN IN THE LIVING ROOM AND IT GOT QUIET AND THEY'RE ALL
LOOKING AND LAUGHING AT ME WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.
I SAID, "WHAT'S GOING ON?" SHE SAID, "DON'T YOU KNOW WHERE
YOU ARE?" I SAID, "WELL, I THINK I'M AT
THE McALLISTER HOUSE."
THEY SAID, "NO, YOU'RE IN THE 'THE BRADY BUNCH' HOUSE."
THERE'S NO UPSTAIRS, NO NOTHING.
>> Stephen: THIS IS RESTORED TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE
EXTERIOR "THE BRADY BUNCH" HOUSE.
>> THEY TOOK ME OUT TO THE SIDEWALK SO I COULD SEE IT.
>> Stephen: AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BEFORE HGTV
RESTORED IT TO ITS ORIGINAL-- >> YEAH, HOW ABOUT THAT?
>> BUT THAT WASN'T THE HARD PART.
THE HARD PART WAS THE INSIDE.
>> WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE INSIDE.
>> Stephen: OF COURSE, FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO AREN'T
FAMILIAR WITH HOW SHOW BIZ WORKS, YOU GUYS WERE JUST ON
SETS.
AND SETS ARE TWO, MAYBE THREE WALLS, NO CEILING, AND THEN
YOU'RE IN THIS CAVERNOUS ROOM.
HUNO SENSE OF A HOUSE.
>> CIEN OF LIKE THIS.
>> Stephen: THIS IS WHAT THE ACTUAL HOUSE LOOKED LIKE.
AND THIS IS WHAT HGTV HAS DONE TO IT.
THEY'VE TURNED IT INTO THE DAMN HOUSE.
IN THE VERY FIRST EPISODE OF THIS, I THINK-- HOW MANY PEOPLE
WATCHED?
>> EIGHT MILLION OR MORE.
>> Stephen: 10 MILLION PEOPLE WATCHED THE RESTORATION OF THIS
HOIS.
PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THIS HOUSE AGAIN.
>> IT'S THEIR HOUSE!
>> I WANT TO BUY IT.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> I DID.
JUST BECAUSE-- EVEN THOUGH I HAD NEVER BEEN IN AND IT LOOKED
NOTHING LIKE TIT'S-- IT'S THE HOUSE.
SO IT WAS EITHER THAT OR STAGE 5.
I CAN'T BUY STAGE 5, SO-- ON THE PARAMOUNT LOT.
>> Stephen: ANYBODY FREAKED OUT TO BE BACK IN IT AGAIN?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: CHRIS?
>> I MEAN, IT'S A MIND-EXPANDING EXPERIENCE.
BUT ODDER THAN THE FIRST-PERSON EXPERIENCE IS WATCHING US INSIDE
OF THAT HOUSE.
>> RIGHT.
>> IT'S NOT A SET ANYMORE, BECAUSE WE'RE A LOT BIGGER.
AND A BIT OLDER.
>> JUST A BIT.
>> Stephen: HERE YOU ARE-- HERE YOU ARE BACK IN THE
ORIGINAL HOIS, BACK IN THE DAY.
>> THE SET.
>> THE SET, YEAH.
>> Stephen: HERE YOU ARE NOW.
>> WOW.
>> AND WE HAVE A CEILING ABOVE US.
>> WE'RE NOT USED TO THAT.
IT'S GOT A CEILING.
>> IT'S GOT REAL STONE, REAL WOOD.
IT FEELS SO COMFORTABLE, I FORGET I'M NOT ON THE SET.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: NOW, EACH ONE OF YOU HAD A DIFFERENT
RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DIFFERENT PART OF THE RENOVATION.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: DID ANY OF YOU THINK YOU HAD A HARDER ZOB THAN
THE OTHERS?
>> I THINK THEY MANAGED TO SPREAD IT OUT ALL OVER.
I MEAN THEY WERE-- THEY WERE-- THAT WAS WHAT WAS SO EXCITING
WAS GETTING TO ACTUALLY WORK WITH TOOLS, WORK ON THE DEMO,
WORK ON THE SHOPPING.
>> Stephen: WAIT, EVE, YOU ACTUALLY DID, LIKE, THE DEMO?
>> YES, YEAH, WE WORKED-- ALL OF US.
>> JACK HAMMERS.
>> JACK HAMMER PRO NOW.
>> Stephen: HAD YOU DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
>> YES.
>> I HAD DONE SOME DEMO WORK.
>> NOT WANTED TO MISLEAD THE AUDIENCE.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE DONE SOME LIGHT JACKHAMMERING.
>> WE DID WORK ON IT BUT THERE WERE ANOTHER 200 PEOPLE WORKING
ON IT.
>> TRUE.
>> DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING.
>> THE TOUGHEST PART FOR ME ABOUT WATCHING THIS SHOW IS ONE
OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THE SHOW WHICH IS THAT WE'RE NOT
PLAYING CHARACTERS.
WE'RE BEING COMPLETELY OURSELVES.
AND SO I'M.
>> -- I'M WATCHING THE SHOW AND I'M THINKING, "THAT'S WHAT I
SOUND LIKE!"
>> Stephen: WELL, WAS THERE A PARTICULAR-- BECAUSE IT'S
PERFECTLY RESTORED.
IS THERE A PARTICULAR PROP OR A PARTICULAR ROOM THAT HAS
RESONANCE FOR YOU, THAT SORT OF FREAKED YOU OUT TO SEE AGAIN?
>> IT FREAKED ME UP ON THE TO-- WHEN I WENT INTO THE MASTER
BEDROOM, WHICH IS WHERE FLORENCE AND BOB DID SO MANY SCENES.
AND THERE'S -- >> Stephen: FLORENCE HENDERSON
AND ROBERT REID WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US.
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN BITTERSWEET.
>> IT'S REALLY HARD.
I HAD SOME AMAZING MOMENTS WITH FLORENCE TOWARDS THE END OF HER
LIFE ON "DANCING WITH THE STARS."
AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR INTERVIEW ON GRIEF WITH ANDERSON
COOPER TOUCHED ME SO MUCH.
>> Stephen: OH, I'M SO GLAD.
>> BECAUSE--
I STILL GRIEVE FLORENCE'S LOSS.
SHE TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT LEARNING TO FIND JOY IN MY LIFE,
IN A WHOLE NEW WAY.
>> Stephen: WHAT WERE THEY LIKE AS ADULT PRESENCE ON THE
SET AND TV PARENTS?
DID THAT EVER BLEED OVER-- >> VERY MUCH.
>> VERY MUCH SO.
>> Stephen: THE STEWARDING OF YOU GUYS.
>> ROBERT REED WAS SUCH A FATHER FIGURE, ANDENING A LOT OF WAYS,
HE MISSED HIS OWN DAUGHTER, AND WE GOT A LOT OF HER LOVE.
AND HE GAVE US ALL MOVIE CAMERAS ONE CHRISTMAS SO THAT WE COULD
EXPERIENCE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
AND HE TOOK US ALL ON ENGLAND TO TURN US ON TO THE THEATER.
YEAH, HE WAS VERY MUCH A FATHER.
AND SO WAS FLORENCE LIKE A MOTHER.
>> WE STAYED HERE AT THE PLAZA FOR A FEW DAYS.
>> WHEN HE BROUGHT US.
>> YES, WHEN HE BROUGHT US HERE.
FIRST, WE CAME TO NEW YORK AND WE BROUGHT OUR CAMERAS, AND I
HAVE SEVERAL LONG VIEWS FROM THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING OF EACH
VIEW.
IT'S REALLY BORING.
( LAUGHTER )
GIFT-- HE GAVE US ONE YEAR THE CAMERA; THE NEXT YEAR THE TRIP
TO THE U.K., TO ENGLAND; AND THE FOLLOWING YEAR PROJECTORS.
AND THEN A PARTY AT HIS HOUSE TO SHOW OUR MOVIES.
>> BUT HE NEVER GAVE US FILM.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK.
PLEASE DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF THE CAST OF "THE BRADY BUNCH,"
EVERYBODY.
