>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK WITH THE CAST OF
HBO'S "SUCCESSION."
>> TAKE IT IN.
>> Stephen: SO Y'ALL OBVIOUSLY SPEND A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER
SHOOTING AN ENTIRE SEASON OF A SHOW.
WE HAVE SOME-- WE HAVE SOME SHOTS FROM SEASON THREE.
ALL OF YOU TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF EACH OTHER TRYING TO NAP IN
VARIOUS LOCATIONS.
THERE'S ONE OF BRIAN REALLY GETTING A GOOD NAP HERE.
>> UH-OH.
I KNOW THIS ONE.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE THIS SHOT OF BRIAN?
THAT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.
YOU'RE VERY LIMBER NAPPER.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
I SLEEP WITH MY FEET UP.
OTHERWISE, I DIE.
( LAUGHTER )
KNOW.
>> IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE BLOOD TO MY HEAD.
>> Stephen: THE MOST UNLIKELY AND YET MOST-ENJOYABLE COUPLE TO
COME DOWN THE PIKE IN A LONG TIME IS ROMAN AND GERRI.
( APPLAUSE )
LOT OF SENSE IN A WAY.
>> IN A WAY.
>> Stephen: BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM, THERE SEEMS TO BE-- WE
BELIEVE THE RELATIONSHIP IN A STRANGE WAY.
HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT?
>> FOR WHATEVER REASON, WHEN WE STARTED DOING THE SCENES, WE
JUST STARTED FLIRTING.
>> YEAH.
BUT WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER A LONG WHILE.
>> Stephen: NO ONE IS JUDGING THIS.
WE JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED.
>> JUST TRYING TO BE A SCENE, AND, WHATEVER, WE WERE JUST
FLIRTING.
I DON'T KNOW.
J. IS HOT.
>> Stephen: DID THE WRITERS NOTICE THIS?
DID THEY NOTICE THE FLIRTING?
>> I GUESS SO.
>> WE WERE SHOOTING SEASON ONE, AND I MADE A JOKE LIKE, "CAN I
HAVE SEX WITH YOUR TORTOISE," OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND YOU ROLLED YOUR EYES AND I LEFT, AND APPARENTLY WE BOTH
CHECKED EACH OTHER'S BUTTS OUT.
>> AND THEY KEPT THE CAMERA ROLLING, AND HE LEFT AND... AND
APPARENTLY HE DID THE SAME.
I GUESS THEY WENT OFF AND WROTE A STORYLINE ABOUT THAT.
>> SEE IF IT WORKED.
>> Stephen: WITHOUT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY, CAN WE EXPECT
MORE IN SEASON THREE.
>> WHOWT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY.
>> Stephen: YES, TELL ME EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED WITHOUT
GIVING ANYTHING AWAY.
( LAUGHTER )
>> WELL, BOTH GERRI AND ROMAN ARE IN SEASON THREE.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: THERE IT IS.
I HOPE I HAVE THE TERMINOLOGY RIGHT.
A FREEBIE.
IS THAT AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY SHOT THE SCRIPT?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: DO YOU ALWAYS GET TO BE A FREEBIE AT THE END OF
THE SCENE, ALAN.
>> GENERALLY, ALWAYS, YES.
>> Stephen: AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR AUDITION WAS SOMETHING OF A
FREEBIE, THAT THERE REALLY WASN'T A SCRIPT FOR YOUR
AUDITION.
>> I ALMOST BLEW IT OFF BECAUSE I WAS SHOOTING IN CHICAGO AND
FLYING HOME EVERY WEEKEND, LONG WEEKENDS AND MY WIFE WAS
STRESSED OUT AND SAID, "BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO CHICAGO I WANT
YOU TO GO TO MOMMY AND ME CLASS WITH MY LITTLE BOY, LARKIN."
AND MY MANAGER SAID, I HAVE AN AUDITION FOR YOU, HBO.
AND I SAID, "HONEY, IT'S HBO," AND SHE WEPT.
AND I SAID I CAN'T GO.
I HAVE TO GO TO MOMMY AND ME CLASS, AND WE DID.
AND YOU BANG YOUR TAMBOURINE, AD I CAME OUT AND THERE WERE,
LIKE, SEVEN MESSAGES.
SO THEY JUST SAID, "GO TO ADAM McKAY'S HOUSE BEFORE YOU LEAVE
TOWN."
AND I DID.
AND I SAID, "I DON'T REALLY KNOW THE MATERIAL."
AND HE SAID, "YOU KNOW THE SITUATION, RIGHT?"
AND I SAID, "YEAH."
AND HE SAID, "MAKE IT UP.
MAKE IT UP WHATEVER COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH."
THERE WAS ONLY ONE LINE, "DAD, THERE'S THIS JOB I WANT, AND
IT'S CALLED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."
AND I SAID SO HE'S PUTTING THE OLD MAN ON, RIGHT.
AND ADAM WAS LIKE, "OH, NO, HE'S DEADLY SERIOUS."
SO I KIND OF KNEW WHO THIS BOY WAS.
AND I LEFT, THEY SAID THANK YOU, AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO CHICAGO
THEY SAID, "YOU HAVE THE JOB."
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
