By the way, I'm so worried about sucking in my fat.
You walk out looking like a billion dollars.
Oh my gosh.
[LAUGHTER]
I mean, right?
[CHEERING]
Will you guys come with me everywhere, please?
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
My gosh.
Matt, do you want to try any of this?
Ooh, yeah.
Yeah, try something.
What have we got?
Not that one.
Uh, oh.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
A tomato?
Yeah.
That's going to just not be good if I eat that, right?
No.
It's going to go all over.
That's going to just be--
Wait.
So we've known each--
It's like a loud, crunchy carrot.
Do it.
[CRUNCHING]
[LAUGHTER]
Tell me.
Do it.
Yeah.
Wait.
We've known each other, and we're neighbors.
We're neighbors.
We've known each other for a long time.
And now, I'm on your talk show.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
Thank you.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you.
Yeah.
The E- double L- E- N is all silent.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
And you have had the honor of working
with me on Will & Grace.
Yes.
The best gig in the business.
Did you have fun?
I had the best time.
I think it's the best-kept secret in Hollywood.
[LAUGHTER]
You guys are, obviously, such incredible professionals.
But I could drop the kids off at school, go to work,
finish, and pick them up from school.
It was just the most humane hours I've ever had--
Yeah.
--as an actor.
That's so true.
We were so lucky that Jimmy Burrows--
James Burrows, who directed the show-- he's like, in it,
louder, faster, funnier, get out of here.
Yeah.
And, yeah, one of the things I would say, like the direction--
I'd ask Jimmy, like, is it funnier if I say the line
and then shut the refrigerator door?
And his direction is, I don't care.
[LAUGHTER]
There were times when I got it really fast.
Like they added a scene.
I was lucky enough to be in the series finale.
And they added a scene at the very last minute.
And I think I got to read it twice, rehearse it once.
Oh, right.
I like that.
That was like yoga you just did there.
Sorry.
And then I think we taped it once
with two different endings, and that was it.
I mean, you were so pro about it.
He's like, yeah, I got this, [SOUND EFFECT],, memorized,
shoot it.
And it was brilliant.
Well, you didn't have time to even think about it.
No.
I think maybe that's a good thing for actors sometimes,
you know?
For sure.
You have three sons.
Yes.
They're gorgeous, and awesome, and super cool.
Aw, thank you.
And tell me about [INAUDIBLE].
They love you.
Well, I love them.
They're the nicest.
They're great.
Aw.
Oh, yeah.
They love you guys.
They're amazing.
Our oldest is a huge 49ers fan.
[CHEERING]
[INAUDIBLE] in the house.
OK.
Wow.
Here we go.
He knows every player--
Wow, look at that.
--every statistic.
You know, he's so excited about Sunday, obviously.
And were you always a sports fan,
or do they get you into sports?
No.
I grew up.
My dad was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys back in the '70s.
What?
So football was kind of like in my-- oh, OK.
[CHEERING]
All right.
Yes.
Good job, Dad.
My favorite thing about the Dallas Cowboys
was the cheerleaders.
The cheerleaders.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
And I grew up in kind of a Friday Night Lights esque town.
So football was like the lifeblood
of the town in many ways.
I love that.
And now, I watched the first episode back of The Sinner.
Yeah.
You're absolutely brilliant in it.
If you haven't seen it, it's unbelievable.
Talk about it.
Tell everybody what it's about.
Because after the first episode, I'm on the edge of my seat.
I want to know like 50,000 answers.
Oh, great.
You're so great in it.
Oh, thank you so much.
I play a guy named Jamie Burns, who, on paper, seems to have
his whole life together.
He's got a great job.
He's got a beautiful wife.
They're expecting a child.
But inside, he is just suffering from this profound sense
of loneliness, and spiritual disconnection with society,
and the people in his life.
And out of an act of desperation,
he reaches out to this friendship from his past,
this toxic relationship he had from his past.
And it ends up being a decision that spins his whole life out
of control.
It's so cool.
And-- I don't think I'm giving away anything--
you were roommates in college.
Yes.
We were roommates back in college.
Right.
And he reaches back out to him after many years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember that.
Yeah.
We're going to play a game after this when we come back.
Yes.
Is that cool?
Let's do it.
