-I see you almost every day of my life.
-Uh-oh. -Because I have --
Remember the last time you came on, you gave me --
Someone made an air-freshener of you.
-[ Chuckles ] Yeah. -I hang it in my dressing room.
-Shut up. Really? -So, yeah. I swear.
I look at you every single day. I'll go get it right now.
-[ Laughing ] No, no, no. I believe you. I believe you.
Does it still have the smelly bit?
-No, but I just like seeing you. [ Laughter ]
Just, like, cool and all.
Yeah, just like, "Oh, Norman Reedus is here."
Yeah. -[ Chuckles ]
-You just got back from Costa Rica?
-Last night, yeah.
-Thank you for making the trip to come here.
Appreciate it. Sorry to make you leave.
You were on vacation?
-I was in the town of Fa-la...
-Oh, yeah?! I know that place! [ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ] Oh, my God.
That's the hottest vacation trend.
-Yeah. -Everyone is vacationing in
[Speaks gibberish].
Everyone -- That's the hottest thing.
I saw it in Travel + Leisure.
-I can watch that clip for hours.
-Dude, it's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
What do you do there?
Are you like a -- a surfer?
-I'm probably the worst surfer on the planet,
but yeah. -You do surf?
-You know, Andy Lincoln got me into surfing,
'cause during our break,
he would always take me to this spot
and try to teach me how to surf,
and I still suck really bad at it.
-I could never do it. -Yeah.
-I could never get up on the board.
It's so sad. -But if I get up
and I make it to, like, that monitor,
like, life is amazing, you know what I mean?
[ Laughter ] I'd be like, yes!
-You get one foot off there, you're like, "Oh, my gosh!
That was a monster wave, dude!"
Yeah, like, "Not really. You were only up 3 inches."
Yeah, still.
-There was one time I was --
It was the last surfing thing
I was gonna do right before I caught a plane out of there,
and sometimes, the locals will find out I'm there,
and so there will be people down there with their cameras,
you know, videotaping or whatever.
And I get out there, and I look out,
and there's like 30 girls with their cameras pointed at me,
and I was like, "Okay, Norman. What are you gonna do?
Are you gonna wimp out, are you gonna just, like,
sort of paddle in and stand up and walk out?"
And I was like, "Nah, I'm gonna go for it."
And it was, like, the best wave I ever took, yeah.
-And you look like a stud? -I look like Stud the Studdo.
[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah.
I got super-lucky.
-I have trouble getting
out of the water, if I go to the ocean.
I remember, my wife was on the beach with our friend,
and I was swimming in the ocean,
and they just happened to be --
Well, they were looking at the ocean,
so I was walking out towards them,
and I go, I got to make this cool.
It's like James Bond.
I'm Daniel Craig coming out of the water.
And so I went out, and this giant wave started coming.
I'm like, "All right. What do I do?
I don't really know..."
I go, I'm just gonna tough it out,
let it crash behind me, and we'll see what's up.
This wave knocked me down. [ Laughter ]
Flipped me around.
My shorts came off.
I skinned my knee.
I got up. I'm like [gasps]
I'm like [Speaks gibberish].
And I was like, "Dude, so not James Bond."
It was the most embarrassing thing
ever to happen to me, ever. [ Applause ]
-That's awesome. -Dude, congratulations.
You just welcomed a baby girl.
-Yeah. -Hey, bud!
[ Cheers and applause ] Congratulations.
-Thank you. Yeah.
-Can you describe the feeling?
It's the greatest, right?
-Wrapped around my finger.
-Right. -For sure.
Yeah, well, the other way around I think.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-It's great.
It's great.
It's really beautiful. She's super...
I mean, she just laughs at everything.
Everything's hysterical. -Yeah.
-Yeah. -That's what baby's do.
It's the best. It's the greatest.
-Yeah, I had her like this last night in Costa Rica,
and I'm doing this and, you know, making her fly,
and just drool, right in my eyeball.
-[ Laughs ]
Hey, man, I gotta be honest, you're lucky it was drool.
Huh?! -I've seen it all.
-[ Chuckling ] Yeah. Exactly. It happens.
Oh, well, you have --
You son is, what -- -He's 19, yeah.
-Wow. How great is that? -Yeah, he goes to NYU.
-Yeah, it's great.
So, now you have an older kid
and a younger kid.
Do you remember what it's like to have a baby?
-You know, I thought I did, and I kind of forgot everything.
[ Laughter ] You know what I mean?
But it's awesome. -Yeah, that's great.
Well, your son turned out great, so you're doing a good job.
You know how to do. -Thanks, man. Thanks.
-I want to talk about "Walking Dead."
-Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
Dude, you're the man.
-It's good, yeah.
-You are the man, and this -- Dude, you told me --
You said, "Dude, the season's gonna be insane."
-It is. -And it's been epic.
-It's like a Western. -Really.
Yeah, it's like you guys are making movies every week.
-You know, Angela's done a really good job --
Angela Kang, our new showrunner --
of taking it in a new, fresh direction,
and, you know, going into our 10th season,
that's hard to do but... -Holy moly.
-Yeah. -10 seasons.
-It's really good. I mean, the crew --
You can tell from the crew.
When the crew is super pumped... -Yeah.
-...that's when you know you're doing it right.
-You have two more episodes coming out.
-Yeah.
-Can you say -- I know you really can't.
We do this every time.
Don't give us any spoilers, but can you give us hints
of what to look at?
-I can say the next episode, like, bring some Kleenex.
It's gnarly. -Really?
-I mean, it's so heavy.
-Wow. -Yeah.
-Oh, man. That's a good one. -Get ready. Yeah.
It's -- It's --
-That's the next episode or the last episode?
-The next episode, and the last episode
has a look to it that we've never done before.
It's a brand-new look of the show.
-Really? -So, yeah.
It's just phenomenal.
-Dude, we love you. I want to show a clip.
Here's Norman Reedus in "The Walking Dead."
Take a look at this.
