>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.
MY FIRST GUEST WON AN EMMY AS A "DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE," AND
CURRENTLY STARS IN THE NEW SEASON OF "AMERICAN CRIME."
>> SHE'S MY SISTER.
>> AND WE TRIED TO HELP HER ONCE.
>> HOW MANY TIMES DOES SHE HAVE TO SAY SHE'S SORRY.
>> IF YOU WANT-- IF YOU WANT, YOU KNOW, SEND HER A CHECK.
>> I WANT TO GET HER A JOB.
I WANT TO GET HER A DECENT JOB.
>> YEAR, WELL IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ON THE FARM.
>> WELL, IF YOU TALK TO HER AND YOU JUST--
>> I'M NOT DOING THAT.
YOUR SISTER STOLE MONEY.
SHE STOLE MONEY FROM MY DAD AFTER HE GAVE HER WORK.
SHE DID THAT TO HIM.
SHE DID THAT TO YOU.
>> SHE WASN'T WELL.
I MEAN, SHE HAD PROBLEMS.
SHE-- >> PROBLEMS.
I MEANT WHAT I SAID.
IF YOU WANT TO WRITE HER A CHECK.
>> JUST GIVING HER MONEY ISN'T THE SAME AS HELPING HER.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME FELICITY HUFFMAN.
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
OF TIME.
WE MET ONCE BRIEFLY BACKSTAGE AT THE EMMYS MANY, MANY YEARS AGO,
AND, OF COURSE, I TALKED TO YOUR HUSBAND MANY TIMES.
WILLIAM H. MACY.
>> YES, HE'S BEEN BRAVE ENOUGH TO TALK TO YOU BUT I HAVE NOT.
HERE I AM.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE MY FAVORITE CELEBRITY COUPLE NAME
WHICH IS PHILLIP H. MUST HAVEMAN.
>> DIDN'T YOU DRAET IT?
>> Stephen: YES.
>> AND WE HAVE T-SHIRTS THAT SAY IT.
EVERY NIGHT WE SLEEP IN THEM.
>> Stephen: AND WE MADE UP A MOVIE YOU GUYS DID TOGETHER.
WELL, HERE YOU ARE, YOU GRIEZ GETTING MORE AND MORE ALIKE AS
THE YEARS GO ON.
HE'S GOT YOUR HAIR, AND YOU'RE BUYING THE SAME LEATHER JACKETS
AT THIS POINT.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
YOU KNOW HOW SOME PEOPLE LOOK LIKE YOUR DOG?
WE LOOK LIKE EACH GLRG VERY NICE, VERY NICE.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM ORIGINALLY?
>> I'M FROM COLORADO.
>> Stephen: REALLY, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD, VERY SPECIFIC
ACCENT YOU'RE DOING IN THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DO COUNTRY ACCENTS OVER-DIAL IT.
THAT'S BEAUTIFULLY PLACED.
>> THAT'S KIND OF YOU.
I TOOK A LONG TIME LEARNING THAT.
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TEXAS, AND YOU DON'T WANT TO GO MISSISSIPPI
AND I SHOWED UP AT THE FIRST READ-THROUGH AND I WAS THE ONLY
ONE WITH AN ACCENT.
AND JOHN RIDLEY WAS LIKE, "YOU HAVE TO BRING IT WAY DOWN."
I WAS THAT (BLEEP) HUE ACHIEVER KIND OF PERSON.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU LIKE THOSE PEOPLE'S WORK.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> Stephen: WELL, ONE THING IS THAT YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND, AS--
>> ENOUGH WITH THE PHOTO!
>> Stephen: ONE MORE.
IS THAT YOU GUYS SORT OF EMBODY, AS ONE OF MY PRODUCERS SAID THE
HASHTAG RELATIONSHIP GOALS.
BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU-- HE ASKED YOU TO MARRY HIM A COUPLE
OF TIMES AND YOU SAID NO.
>> I-- I DID.
I THINK I SAID-- I FINALLY SAID YES THE THIRD TIME.
AND IT WAS MANY YEARS.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS --
>> Stephen: WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE FELLA.
>> OH, HE'S THE BEST FELLA.
BECAUSE, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I THINK WOMEN SORT OF DISAPPEAR
IN MARRIAGE.
FOR SOME REASON MEN'S STOCK GOES UP, AND I THINK WOMEN TEND TO
DISAPPEAR.
>> Stephen: OKAY, WELL, I DON'T THINK YOUR STOG HAS GONE
DONE.
I'M VERY BULLISH ON FELICITY HUFFMAN.
>> YOU ARE, OKAY.
I THINK IT WAS A FEAR I HAD AND MAYBE I DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
>> Stephen: HOW DID HE TAKE IT?
>> HE TOOK IT-- HE TOOK IT-- HE SORT OF TOOK IT.
HIS FEELINGS GOT HURT AND THEN HE GOT DETERMINED.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> I MEAN, FINALLY WHAT HAPPENED WAS, I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO-- I
KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE OUT THE DOOR AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE
THIS GUY.
AND I SAID YES.
AND HE SAID, "GREAT."
AND I SAID, YES, BUT WE CAN'T TELL PEOPLE."
AND HE SAID, "NO, THAT'S NOT OKAY.
WE HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE."
AND I SAID, OKAY, YES, WE CAN TELL PEOPLE BUCIALGHT I DON'T
WANT TO WEAR A RING."
AND HE SAID, "NO, THAT'S NOT OKAY.
WE HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE AND YOU HAVE TO WEAR A RING."
FINALLY IT WAS, "HERE'S THE DRESS, HERE'S THE DATE, JUST
SHOW UP."
>> Jon: THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO PLAN IT.
I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE THE YOUNGEST OF A BIG FAMILY AS AM I.
>> YES, I'M THE YOUNGEST OF EIGHT.
I KNOW YOU HAVE ME BEAT.
YOU HAVE 15 OR SOMETHING?
>> Stephen: 11, 11.
>> THERE'S A GUY IN THE AUDIENCE WHO IS ONE OF NINE OUT THERE.
>> CATHOLIC?
>> Audience: YES.
>> YES.
HE WAS GOING TO BE CATHOLIC OR MORMON.
>> Stephen: SURE.
WHERE DO YOU FALL?
>> I'M THE YOUNGEST.
>> Stephen: OH, BABY!
>> I KNOW!
>> Stephen: BABY OF 11.
>> DO YOUR SIBLINGS HATE YOU?
>> Stephen: YES!
>> YOU GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING.
>> MY MOM WAS SO TIRED.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
YOU'RE GOING TO YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE?
JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE THERE SAFE.
I MEAN, I WAS AT MY BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE WHEN I WAS 13.
>> Stephen: WOW.
MY MOM WASN'T THAT LAX.
BUT I WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A FREE-RANGE CHICKEN.
"YOU'RE FINE.
GO TO BED.
ARE YOU STILL UP?
STAY UP.
I LIKE YOUR COMPANY."
>> WHAT ABOUT THE CLOTHES?
YOU'RE ALWAYS SCRAMBLING THROUGH SOMEBODYALCY'S DRAWERS FOR
CLOTHES AND YOU NEVER HAVE SOCKS THAT MATCH.
>> Stephen: SOMEBODYALCY BLAZER.
HOW MANY BOYS, HOW MANY GIRLS?
>> WE HAD SEVEN GIRLS AND ONE BOY.
>> Stephen: WOW!
>> AND ONE-- ONE BATHROOM.
>> Stephen: OH, MY-- DID HE EVER GET INTO THE BATHROOM?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> I DON'T EVER REMEMBER MY BROTHER BEING IN THE BATHROOM.
( LAUGHTER ) I WONDER WHAT HE DID.
YEAH, WE WOULD ALL-- BUT, YOU KNOW, SUNSHINE IT'S SEVEN GIRLS,
ALL GIRLS HANG OUT IN BATH ROOMS TOGETHER SO THAT REALLY WASN'T
AN ISSUE.
WE'D ALL, YOU KNOW, SILT ON THE COUNTERS AND SMOKE CIGARETTES CI
AND BLOW THEM OUT THE WINDOW AND SOMEBODY'S TAKING A EXPHOWR
SMAEN DOING THEIR MAKEUP AND EVERYONE'S TALKING.
I LOVED IT.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU SAY THEM FAST.
>> YES, I BET YOU CAN, TOO.
>> Stephen: I'LL DO 11 WHILE YOU DO EIGHT.
FROM THE TOP DOWN OR HOW YOU WANT TO DO IT.
>> SHOW OFF.
I'M DOING IT FROM THE TOP TOWN.
ONE, TWO THREE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: YOU BEAT ME.
YOU BEAT ME.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: I WISH I HAD SOMETHING FOR YOU.
I'VE GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF YOU--
>> DID YOUR MOM CALL YOU EVERY NAME BUT YOUR OWN?
>> Stephen: SLIEWCIALGTHS ABSOLUTELY.
>> EVEN THE DOG'S NAME.
>> Stephen: WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOG.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOG.
MY MOM SAID, "NO DOGS UNTIL MORE PEOPLE MOVE OUT AND GET
MARRIED."
WE DIDN'T GO TO CAMP BECAUSE WE LIVED AT CAMP, BECAUSE THAT IS
WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
AND NO DOGS EQUAL "YOU PEOPLE ALL CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES."
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE WHICH I SAW YOU WHEN YOU DID THAT TROIBT
YOUR MOM AND THAT REALLY WAS WONDERFUL.
I WATCHED IT A LOT OF TIMES AND I THINK EVERYBODY FOR MOTHER'S
DAY SHOULD WATCH IT.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
I WAS VERY LUCKY.
( APPLAUSE ) OKAY, YOU HAVE-- SPEAK OF MOMS,
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PARENTING SITE.
EXPLAIN THIS NAME FOR ME.
IT'S "WHAT THE FLICKA?" WHAT IS "WHAT THE FLICKA?"
>> MY NICKNAME IS FLICKA.
BEING THE EIGHTH KID MY MOM RAN OUT OF FAMILY CATHOLIC NAMES, SO
MY SISTERS WERE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL CONVENT WITH THIS WOMAN
NAMED FLAKE SO SHE NAMED ME FLICKA.
AND THE LOCAL PRIEST SAID IT'S NOT CATHOLIC.
I THINK SHE GOT DEBUNKED.
SO IT'S ST. FELIFT.
WHAT THE FLICKA IS A SITE I CREATE WHEN I HAD STARTED HAVING
KIDS BECAUSE I FOUND IS SO ALIENATING AND DIFFICULT AND
HORRIBLE DISPPT ONLY CONVERSATION OUT THERE WAS LIKE,
"ISN'T IT THE BEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE?"
AND I KEPT GOING, "NO!" >> Stephen: YOUR CHILDREN
AREN'T WATCHING TONIGHT ARE, THEY?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE IN THE THIRD SEASON NOW OF "AMERICAN
CRIME."
AND THIS IS SORT OF SET UP IN AN INTERESTING WAY.
IT'S AN ENSEMBLE EXPERVEG YEAR, YOU ALL PLAY DIFFERENT PARTS IN
THE STORY.
IT'S NOT BASED ON AN INDIVIDUAL CRIME BUT THE IDEA OF-- IT'S NOT
RECREATING A CRIME.
>> NO.
>> Stephen: BUT IT'S-- IT DEALS WITH A ONE-CRIME ISSUE.
WHAT IS IT THIS YEAR?
>> THIS YEAR, ODDLY ENOUGH, IN SEASON ONE AND TWO, IT WAS A
CRIME THAT WAS THE INCITING INCIDENT, AND THE STORY FOLLOWED
FROM THERE.
AND THIS IS SORT OF THE FABRIC OF MANY DIFFERENT CRIMES.
I THINK IT'S ILLEGAL IMGRAICIALGZ FORCED LABOR, SEX
TRAFFICKING.
IT'S A COMEDY.
( LAUGHTER ) THOSE ARE THE ISSUES.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BIGGEST CRIME IN AMERICA IS
RIGHT NOW?
>> GOSH, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SO MANY.
BUT I THINK IT'S THAT WE'VE STOPPED-- THERE'S NO DIALOGUE.
WE'VE STOPPED TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
I THINK EVERYONE'S STUCK IN THEIR OWN-- AND I AM, TOO--
THEIR OWN IDEOLOGY AND WHAT'S WRONG AND WHAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: IT MAKES IT HARD TO FIX THINGS, I SUPPOSE.
FLES TEE, IT WAS VERY NICE TO MEET YOU
>> Stephen: THE NEW SEASON OF "AMERICAN CRIME" PREMIERES THIS
SUNDAY ON ABC.
FELICITY HUFFMAN, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH JURNEE SMOLLETT-BELL.
