( LAUGHTER )
EVE, AND JENNY THIS YEAR-- MY WIFE, JENNY McCARTHY-- WAS
HOSTING NEW YEAR'S EVE, AND NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK HOSTED NEW
YEAR'S EVE, SO WE WERE LEAVING AT 4:00 A.M. TO GO TO A HOTEL
AND NAP.
OUR DRIVER TOOK A RIGHT TURN ON RED WHICH YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
DO.
AND THE COP WAS STANDING THERE.
AND THE GUY WAS LIKE, "OH, MAN."
AND THE COP WAS GIVING HIM A HARD TIME.
"THE SIGN'S RIGHT THERE."
AND I SAID TELL HIM YOU HAVE DONNIE WAHLBERG FROM "BLUE
BLOODS" AND MAYBE HE'LL LET YOU GO.
AND THE COP COMES OVER.
AND HE SAID, I HAVE DONNIE WAHLBERG IN THE BACK.
HE SAID I DON'T CARE WHO YOU HAVE IN THE CAR, YOU CAN'T GO
RIGHT ON A RED.
HERE'S THE TICKET.
HEY, DON'T, I LOVE 'BLUE BLOOD."
>> Stephen: NEW YORK'S FINEST.
>> I PAID THE TICKET.
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU MAKE A GOOD COP?
WOULD YOU MACK A GOOD COP?
>> YOU KNOW, I'M TOO NICE.
I'M TOO LENIENT.
NEW YORK CITY COPS ARE NICE, THEY'RE VERY NICE.
THEY'RE REGULAR NEIGHBORHOOD PEOPLE.
AND THEY'RE CHARGED WITH PROTECTING THE SINGLE MOST
TARGETED CITY IN THE WORLD AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT.
BUT SEE, I WOULDN'T HAVE GAVE THAT TICKET OUT.
I WOULDN'T ARE GAVE IT OUT.
IF YOU'RE DRUNK DRIVING I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN JAIL BUT IF
YOU TOOK A RIGHT TURN OR PARKED WRONG I WOULD BE, "GO AHEAD, GET
OUT OF HERE."
IF YOU'RE SPEEDING, "SLOW DOWN."
I COULDN'T DO IT.
>> Stephen: YOU SHOULDN'T BE A COP.
SPEAKING OF CRIME, YOU HAVE A NEW SHOW CALLED "VERY SCARY
PEOPLE."
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND IT'S A SCARY ABOUT SOME OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS
CRIMINALS, MURDERERS, THE WORST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
IS IT A COMPLIMENT OR DOES IT UPSET YOU WHEN YOU FOUND OUT
THEY SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
DONNIE WAHLBERG.
>> HE'S THE GUY.
HE'S THE GUY TO TALK ABOUT JOHN WAYNE GACY.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WILL TELL YOU WHAT'S VERY STRANGE IS I SAW
AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE SHOW IN A REVIEW, AND IT HAD A PICTURE OF
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK AT 18 YEARS OLD NEXT TO CHARLES
MANSON.
IT WAS VERY UNSETTLING TO SEE.
IT JUST-- ♪ ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT
LIKE THE OTHER ♪ >> YES, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN,
VERY SURREAL, VERY SURREAL.
IN MY CAREER-- SOMEHOW IN MY ACTING CAREER I'VE PLAYED A LOT
OF COPS.
I WORKED WAY LOT OF COPS.
AND I WORKED HARD ON "BLUE BLOODS" TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY
AND DO IT LIKE A REAL DETECTIVE WOULD DO IT.
I THINK THAT BRINGS SOMETHING TO IT.
CERTAINLY I'M INFORMED PROBABLY MORE THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON WHO
MIGHT BE ASKED TO HOST THE SHOW.
DOES IT MEAN I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
BUT I THINK I'M-- I AM FASCINATED BY THESE REAL CRIME
SHOWS.
THAT'S THE THING.
I LOVE LIKE "FORENSIC FILES," IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS.
MY WIFE AND I BINGE WATCH IT ALL THE TIME PER FOR ME, IT'S
SOMETHING I ALWAYS LOVE AND I LIKE TO DO WHAT I LIKE TO DO --
>> Stephen: YOU STILL HAVE THE MUSIC.
YOU STILL HAVE THE MUSIC AND YOU'RE GOING ON TOUR AGAIN THIS
SUMMER.
>> NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK, NIXED TAPE WITH NAUGHTY BY NATURE,
DEBBIE GIVENS.
IT NEVER GETS OLD.
I LOVE PERFORMING AS MUCH AS I EVER HAVE WITH MY BAND MATES.
WE HAVE THE GREATEST FANS IN THE WORLD.
AND, YOU KNOW, OUR TOURS JUST GET BIGGER AND BIGGER EVERY YEAR
AND IT'S CRAZY.
WE REUNITED IN 2008, AND EVERY TOUR GETS BIGGER THAN THE LAST
ONE.
I FEEL VERY LUCKY AND BLESSED AND I WILL RIDE THAT WAGON UNTIL
THE WHEELS FALL OFF.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE, MAN.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER.
"VERY SCARY PEOPLE" PREMIERES THIS SUNDAY ON HLN, AND "BLUE
BLOODS" AIRS FRIDAYS AT 10:00 ON CBS.
YOU KNEW THAT.
DONNIE WAHLBERG, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ACTRESS AND PLAYWRIGHT HEIDI SCHRECK.
