our first guest is a very funny man one of the stars of the saturday night live
program ladies and gentlemen say hello to jason sudeikis everybody good day thank you very much
for being here thank you for having me thanks to everybody because i know it's just the even the
easiest activity is difficult now but you is it true that you missed the whole event uh uh yeah
sandy hurricane yes i mean i missed it all i was out of town uh yeah something else i mean i was
here you know i was here a couple days after uh hurricane irene as well that's right this is uh
this is i don't know like yeah you're kind of like our government calls fema late show calls me happy
happy to be here we have we have better luck with you than the government does with phoebe i don't
read the news i don't read the name you don't read the news yeah where were you when you say you
were out of trouble i was i was actually in uh uh europe or europa uh-huh what were you doing there
i was visit i was visiting my girlfriend who was working in italy in rome uh and then girlfriend
by the way yeah it was beautiful oh yeah she was on the show not so long ago no i remember
i actually wanted to pull something out olivia olivia wilde olivia how did you meet her uh we
met at uh the uh season finale of uh saturday night live not this last year but the year before
uh you're very lucky yeah yeah yeah yeah you know yeah no i i i you you know you're right yeah
very much so very very romantic two of you were in europe you know when she was on the show here
about like a month or a half ago or so she brought me up and you and you you said i was kind of dopey
uh you said you said you like i think i'm quoting it like he's kind of a dope right
yeah that's probably right you're probably right about that
but i mean that's because i mean i am then right is that official
why don't you tell us that's a good point
i was more lucky than dope i was referring i guess to the uh the character portrayed in
motion pictures i appreciate i i i feel sometimes like if you want a good stooge in a movie you
want kind of a dopey good-looking guy okay it's i mean and then the next guy would be sam champion
it would be there you go and then sam they're happy to do that wow look at that
well i'll tell you what it was uh i apologize but i know exactly what this is uh your girlfriend is
so lovely fiancee or girlfriend oh boy it's just girlfriend girlfriend
so unless she's gonna surprise me that would be great
did she do that and me being being bitter and envious that somebody like you has done so well
for yourself okay so i attacked i attacked you out of it you know what it was but that's what
that's what i wanted to talk about i wouldn't take it seriously yeah no okay all right
so what were you guys doing in europe i don't remember i'm dumb no no no we were
no we uh we were we went to paris we i i met her there and then we went to paris and um and then
uh sandy hit she had to go to los angeles i got stuck in paris by myself i was in a a much poorly
written version of midnight in paris basically um because it was me and and i had to come up
with the words not woody allen and uh it was it was not any friends nothing nothing i i was there
so long that i eventually felt like i had to start saying pardon and you know mercy but but then but
but i would do it and then immediately back off it like i'd be like mercy you know i'm sorry
it's like i you know i'm fight because then they come at you with some french and then i'm just
like no no that's right because what they do you make the mistake of trying to speak their language
they know better they know you don't speak the language and they're insulted that you're
trying absolutely so they think oh you want to play yeah and then they go right at you
they go right at you it's so true yeah oh boy it's very true
i i i got rope-a-dope so many times by them yeah i tried uh but then i so then so then i stayed
there and then getting home was uh how did you make arrangements for flights uh you know just
my phone was working all the days leading up to the day that i was actually set to leave i was
supposed to leave monday morning ended up leaving uh gosh when was it thursday morning i was on that
flight that landed the first one that landed from paris i didn't know that i i was on that flight
and i got to the uh to the uh airport with my internet on my phone down everybody was asleep you
know here in the states and you know the french are about as helpful as the internet being down
and so so so i'm just going through the rat race of getting through and you know figuring things
out i finally get on the plane uh and because it was a i went with um a ticket that olivia had
through a production i got sit in the fancy seats right business class so i was all business and i
um yeah and i end up sitting next to a fella who um for eight hours that did not i thought like me
then didn't like me it turned into like a very nuanced like odd couple relationship uh did the
the man know who you are you know what he was so mean he might have i've that happened i get that
you never know no you do know i i get it i get it all the time yeah but you and jay are good look
oh yeah you're good now uh no so i was there and he was he was not uh american uh i know that uh
even though he was wearing sweatpants on the plane they were very fancy sweatpants that's
how i know he wasn't american sweatpants threw me though for a second very ornate
and then he didn't speak french because the the the lovely gal that was helping us out
wasn't helping uh and um and then yeah it was just it was rough it was rough and he
he had he drank champagne cognac i think the only water he had was the ice in his vodka
he was all over the place uh i was watching movies i watched when harry met sally which
i hadn't seen forever and after a couple glasses of white wine it's it's amazing
and uh at one point i started la i was laughing i was laughing and he like
he he like looked at me and gave me like just like
whoa like we were laughing and i was like i was like i had to say the sentence i was like i go to
tap them because i had headphones on to say like i'm sorry yeah like i'm sorry for laughing too
loud like what an awful sense to ever have to say and when i went to tap him he just goes
whoa and i go i go i'm sorry if my laughing was bothering you sincerely like you know like as we
do from the midwest you know you want to make sure your good time isn't ruining someone else's and
and he and he goes you are not alone on this plane
and i and then i realized oh he's german german yeah
german fellow there you go german fella you gotta make any friends there
it was it was all right and then did you guys ever ever kind of get over this and
so no no i mean then at the very end then at the very end of the flight i hadn't you know we
just seated next to each other the whole time we we stand up to get up
he literally came up to my nipples like the top top of his head was like like i was like well
this little guy um you know now this this raises more than uh several interesting
questions you're both in business class yes we know what business you're in what do you
suppose his business is gosh i don't know i mean like dirty looks yeah and he's the best
no it was i don't i have no idea well he was listening to like i saw on the thing uh after
i upset him with my he was just everything he did was very small and very like pointed and just like
he was like like like chris katan like a chris katan character from snl like he just saw he
was like mango except like all hate like it was it was like bad it was it was he works on the german
snl yeah well yeah he's he's great at it now speaking of uh snl uh do i have this correct yeah
yeah that's where i work yeah no absolutely that the the the last uh snl presidential
uh edition four years ago yeah 2008 uh they're at the the the saturday night before election didn't
you have was it john mccain who came on john mccain came on and performed with with tina fey
who was playing the fake sarah palin yes this is it was really really odd because
in between the dress rehearsal that we do at eight o'clock in the air show at 11 30 we have
a meeting in lauren's office uh and he gives us suckers and tells us we did a good job and
and he uh we're sitting we're sitting there i'm sitting sitting next to the man running
for president i'm wearing ku basketball shorts where i'm you know kansas where i'm from and he
and he he and i are having a conversation about arizona basketball loot olsen and like that era
uh you know where he's from and i'm like you're like i'm like he knows he's going to lose like
i mean you know 2020 hindsight but i'm like he must know if he's here on a saturday doing skits
like with with a lady that like just cold cocked is running me like for
six weeks straight i it was so odd to me now let me let me let me ask it could not have been nicer
and great and like just super you know do you think that uh let's just say insiders or pollsters
or pundits or whatever you call it do you think they now know who will win the election do you
think they knew a month ago who will win the election well i'm not i'm not an expert i'm not
cornell west dr cornell west but um if anybody's concerned about that yeah um but i i um i would
say if they if they being the big they the the the the 10 that run the world know how much money
frank and weenie is going to make on uh opening weekend they probably have a good idea who's
going to get a president of the united states right how did frank and weenie do by the way
not well not right no it underperformed we don't know what happened we don't know what happened now
there's black and white there's a uh who's going to be on color who's going to be on your
show this week we've got uh louis c.k yeah okay yeah and then uh
and then our uh and then our musical guest is fun which is the name of the band not
not i mean i'm sure they're fun too but uh but and any sense that maybe you'll have a
late minute drop by when when when lauren michaels is your boss things happen that
you can't believe it you know uh so is there a little buzz in the building now well whatever
happened a little buzz was you there when you were working when i was there little bugs and stuff
yeah well uh people will be looking forward to this yeah i would imagine you know with
lincoln coming out we could be getting uncle abe you know honest abe abraham lincoln excellent
excellent not bad right yeah not bad at all nice to see you
my best to your girlfriend good luck there buddy thank you
you
