>> Stephen: HEY!
WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY!
OH, WHAT A TREAT.
OH, WHAT A TREAT FOR EVERYBODY OUT THERE.
MY FIRST GUEST IS A SIX-TIME EMMY AND TWO-TIME TONY
AWARD-WINNING ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM "YOUR HONOR," "NETWORK,"
AND "BREAKING BAD."
HE NOW STARS IN "JERRY AND MARGE GO LARGE."
>> BOTH SIDES.
THAT IS WHERE I WENT WRONG.
I DIDN'T CALCULATE THE FREQUENCY OF PROBABILITY.
IT'S JUST MATH.
>> OH, I DON'T LIKE MATH.
.
OH, I'M SORRY.
HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU -- UH -- HERE.
SO IF YOU TAKE A COIN, AND YOU FLIPPED IT A THOUSAND TIMES, YOU
MIGHT STILL GET 60% HITS.
BUT IF YOU FLIPPED IT 5,000 TIMES, THE PROBABILITY GETS
CLOSER TO 50%.
THE SAMPLE HAS TO BE LARGE ENOUGH TO TAKE LUCK OUT OF THE
EQUATION.
AND THIS IS FOR YOU.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW," BRYAN
CRANSTON!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> YOUR AUDIENCE IS ALWAYS SO COCAINED UP, I TELL YA, I LOVE
IT!
>> Stephen: WELL, YEAH.
VERY ENERGIZED.
>> Stephen: THAT'S HOW YOU GET THE BIG NUMBERS.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: BRYAN, LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: I KNOW YOU'RE A BUSY, BUSY MAN, WHAT BEING A SEA
CAPTAIN NOW.
BRINGING IN YOUR LOAD FROM AN OLD CAFE.
>> I COULD BE A SEA CAPTAIN.
I COULD DO THE REMAKE TO HAVE THE MIRACLE ON 34th STREET, OR
I COULD BE AN OLD TIMER PROSPECTOR, OR LIKE RUTHERFORD
B. HAYES, ONE OF OUR PRESIDENTS.
>> Stephen: YOU COULD BE A 19th CENTURY PRESIDENT.
>> LET ME LOOK OFF LIKE THAT, ALWAYS LOOKING TO THE SIDE.
>> Stephen: YES.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WHO DICE OF
DROPSY.
>> DIES A HORRIBLE DEATH.
OR IT COULD BE I'VE JUST LOST MY RAZOR.
>> Stephen: NOW, JENNA FISHER AND ANGELA KINSEY HAVE A BOOK
ABOUT "THE OFFICE" AND THEY TALK ABOUT THE EPISODE YOU DIRECTED
CALLED WORK BUS.
IN THE EPISODE, THEY CALL IT DEATH BUS.
>> OH, THAT'S JUST SO UNFAIR.
>> Stephen: IT'S NOT ENTIRELY UNFAIR BASED UPON WHAT I READ.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO THE PEOPLE WHY IT'S CALLED DEATH BUS?
>> WELL, OKAY, SO THE TEAM HAS FUMIGATION AT THE OFFICE, SO WE
HAVE TO GO ON TO A BUS, AND WE SET UP DESKS ON THE BUS TO BE
ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK.
IN ORDER TO DO THAT, AND WE HAVE ALL THESE ACTORS IN THERE, THEY
PULLED ON A TRAILER REFRIGERATION SYSTEM, AN AC
SYSTEM.
BUT WHAT THEY DIDN'T PLAN ON, THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT WHERE THE
INTAKE FOR THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM WAS WAS EXACTLY LINED UP
TO WHERE THE TAILPIPE OF THE BUS WAS.
SO THE EXHAUST OF THE BUS WAS GOING RIGHT TO THE INTAKE,
COOLING IT, BECAUSE, WHEN YOU BREATHE IN CARBON MONOXIDE, YOU
WANT IT COOL.
THE COOLER THE BETTER.
>> Stephen: IT'S LIKE A MENTHOLATED CIGARETTE.
>> IT IS.
AS YOU FALL INTO A DEEP COMA AND EVENTUALLY DIE, YOU WANT TO KNOW
YOU WENT OUT SMOOTHLY, SOFTLY.
>> Stephen: HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO REALIZE THIS?
>> OKAY, SO IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S CALLED DEATH BUS BECAUSE NO ONE
DIED.
( LAUGHTER ) I'LL ADMIT, IT WAS MY AIM, BUT
JENNA FISHER ACTUALLY SAVED EVERYONE'S LIFE.
>> Stephen: HOW?
WELL, SHE SAID, I SMELL EXHAUST, IT'S COME I THINK SIDE
THE BUS -- IT'S COMING INSIDE THE BUS.
I'M THINKING, JENNA...
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
SHE SAID, NO, IT'S COMING IN.
I GOT A CHAIR AND STOOD UP ON THE THING AND STUCK MY NOSE UP
IN THERE AND, SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS BILLOWING DOWN.
IT WAS CARBON MONOXIDE.
I WASN'T SO SURE, SO I GOT A SECOND WIND, I GOT NICE AND
DIZZY AND THEN REALIZED, OH, MY GOD WE COULD HAVE CALL -- ALL
BEEN DEAD.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE HELL OF AN EPISODE.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FINALE BEFORE THEY PLANNED THAT,
THOUGH.
I HEARD YOU WERE IN THE EPISODE THAT FOLLOWED THAT PRODUCTION.
>> Announcer: I WAS IN THE NEXT ONE.
I WAS BROCCOLI ROB IN THE NEXT EPISODE WHICH IS CALLED HERE
COMES TROUBLE.
>> DID YOU ENJOY THAT EXPERIENCE?
>> Stephen: VERY MUCH.
I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING IT SOME DAY.
>> STEPHEN!
>> Stephen: I'VE ACTUALLY NEVER SEEN ITS.
>> WHY?
>> Stephen: I JUST HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE.
>> COME ON!
>> Stephen: WAS IT GOOD?
I'VE NEVER SEEN IT EITHER.
( APPLAUSE ) SINCE WE'RE BEING HONEST.
>> Stephen: YOU AND YOUR FRIEND AND FRIEND OF THE SHOW
AARON PAUL, AS WE'VE SAID BEFORE, HAVE A LOVELY MASCAL
COMPANY CALLED HOMBRES.
>> I'D LOVE A LITTLE SNORT ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: HERE'S THE THING -- YOU GUYS -- WOULD YOU
LIKE A SIP OR -- >> I JUST LIKE TO SIP IT.
SERVE IT AND EAT.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
THIS YEAR YOU TOOK THE MEZCAL ON A TOUR.
WHAT WAS THE TOUR?
WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?
>> IT'S CRAZY.
IT'S LIKE A -- SALUTE.
>> Stephen: SURE.
I CAN FEEL BAD DECISIONS COMING ON.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW WHY I FEEL LIKE FIGHTING YOU RIGHT
NOW.
>> OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO FIGHT WITH THIS BECAUSE THIS COMES
WITH A FIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I SAW A PHOTO OF
YOU GUYS ON REDDIT, KIND OF A COSTCO, SIGNING BOTTLES.
>> IT'S ALL GLAMOUR.
IT'S SHOW BUSINESS, STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: SURE.
IT'S ALL GLAMOUR, ALL THE TIME.
MMM...
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK, BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, BRYAN AND I WILL GAMBLE
WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.
STICK AROUND.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
