>> Stephen: WE'VE NEVER MET BEFORE BUT I'M FAMILIAR WITH
YOUR WORK.
WE WERE A REAL "VAMPIRE" FANS AS A FAMILY.
>> I'M A VERY BIG FAN OF YOURS AS WELL.
YOU JUST-- YOU JUST-- IS THIS TWEETED OR INSTAGRAM?
>> THAT WAS INSTAGRAM.
>> Stephen: YOU SAID YOU'RE CARB LOADING FOR "COLBERT LATE
SHOW," TEQUILA, PLEASE.
TUNE IN TONIGHT.
>> SO I WAS PREPARING AND GETTING READY FOR TONIGHT AND I
YOUTUBED PREVIOUS SHOWS, AND I SAW JENNIFER LAWRENCE WHEN SHE
WAS ON THE SHOW WITH YOU.
>> Stephen: SURE, SURE, SURE.
WE DRANK A LOT OF RUM.
>> YES.
SO I GOT NERVOUS AND THOUGHT THAT MAYBE WE WOULD DRINK TODAY,
SO I ORDERED A LOT OF ROOM SERVICE TO PREPARE MYSELF SO
WOULDN'T BE A CHEAP DATE.
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU-- WOULD YOU-- WE HAVE A BAR BACK HERE,
WOULD YOU LIKE SOMETHING?
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEQUILA?
>> YES, I WOULD NEVER SAY NO TO TEQUILA.
WOOO!
I AM EXCITED AND VERY NERVOUS.
THIS IS GOING TO GET-- THOSE ARE BIG SHOT GLASSES.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
>> Stephen: SO YOU WERE-- WHILE I'M POURING THIS-- YOU
WERE BORN IN BULGARIA AS I UNDERSTAND.
>> ACCURATE, YES.
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHAT WE AIM TO BE HERE, ACCURATE.
I WORKED ON "ACCURATE CENTRAL" FOR YEARS.
I'LL DO A LITTLE.
I'M NOT FEELING TOO DRINKY TONIGHT.
>> IS SOMEBODY HUNG OVER.
>> Stephen: I WAS ON ANDY COHEN'S SHOW "WATCH WHAT HAPPENS
LIVE," WHICH IS GOING TO BE ON THIS SUNDAY, AND THEY HAVE A BAR
THERE.
I CAN'T DRINK MIDWEEK.
>> WHAT DAY IS IT, WEDNESDAY?
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
>> CHEERS.
>> Stephen: CHEERS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> ALL RIGHT!
FEELING GOOD.
>> Stephen: THERE WE GO.
THEN YOU MOVED TO CANADA.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: FROM BULGARIA.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: DO YOU GET TIRED OF THE STEREOTYPE THAT CANADIANS
ARE NICE?
ARE THEY ACTUALLY NICE, OR DO WE JUST NOT TELL-- WE CAN'T TELL
HOW THEY'RE BEING RUDE.
>> OKAY NO I THINK IT IS A STEREOTYPE FOR A REASON.
I GET TOLD THAT I'M VERY NICE, AND I DO HAVE-- I'VE HAD THAT
EXPERIENCE.
I RECENTLY WENT TO MONTREAL TO VISIT MY BROTHER, FOR EXAMPLE,
AND WE PLAYED THIS GAME AT THE BAR-- I GUESS I HAVE A DRINKING
THEME.
MAYBE I'M AN ALCOHOLIC.
I DON'T KNOW-- YEAH, HERE WE GO, LOAD THEM UP.
SO WE WERE AT THE BAR AND PLAYING THIS GAME WE INVENTED
CALLED, "ROCK, PAPER, DARE."
ESSENTIALLY, YOU DARE THE OTHER PERSON TO DO SOMETHING, AND IN
THIS CASE A BACHELORETTE PARTY WAS THERE, THE GIRLS HAD A TRAY
OF 12 DRINKS, AND MY BROTHER DARED ME TO GRAB ONE OF THE
DRINKS FROM THE TRAY.
I LOST, I HAD TO GO UP TO THESE STRANGERS, TOOK THE SHOTS --
>> Stephen: YOU STOLE THEIR SHOTS.
>> I STOLE THEIR SHOTS.
AND I SAID, "I'M SOR SORRY, IT'S A DARE."
AND THEY LOOKED AT ME, "NO, WE'RE SORRY.
PLEASE, TAKE IT."
AND I WAS LIKE, "WAIT, WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING, I STOLE FROM
YOU."
AND WE KEPT GOING BACK AND FORTH, "I'M SORRY."
"NO, I'M SORRY."
>> Stephen: I HOPE NOBODY INVADES CANADA BECAUSE THE ARMY
WILL JUST SURRENDER OUT OF GRACIOUSNESS.
>> Stephen: CHEERS.
>> ARE WE SIPPING OR SHOTTING.
>> Stephen: SHOTTING.
ONE, TWO, THREE, GO.
>> OH, THAT WAS MEAN!
I'M SORRY.
>> Stephen: OH, NO--
I WAS-- I WAS WAITING.
I WAS WAITING.
DO YOU NEED A LIME OR ANYTHING?
NEED A LIME?
>> I'LL TAKE IT, YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: I HAVE FREQUENTLY ACCUSED ACTORS-- AND I WAS ONE
MYSELF AT ONE POINT-- ACTORS ARE VERY CLOSE TO LIARS.
THEY KIND OF PROFESSIONALLY LIE WITH EMOTIONAL INTEGRITY.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU EVER USED YOUR SUPERPOWER AS AN ACTRESS
FOR EVIL.
>> I'VE NEVER HEARD IT CALLED A SUPERPOWER, BUT I WILL TAKE
TBECAUSE I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A SUPERHERO.
YESSS...
>> Stephen: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
HOW HAVE YOU USED YOUR ACTING-- HOW HAVE YOU USED YOUR ACTING
FOR BAD?
>> I HOPE THIS DOESN'T GET ME IN TROUBLE.
SO I DON'T THINK HE KNOWS THIS BUT I DID A MOVIE WITH SAM
JACKSON -- >> Stephen: HE DOESN'T KNOW
YOU DID THE MOVIE WITH HIM?
>> NOW, HE DOES.
BUT BEFORE WE HAD DONE THE FILM TOGETHER HE WAS SHOOTING A FILM
IN ATLANTA AND I WAS ON "VAMPIRE DIARIES," AND A FRIEND WHO KNOWS
HIM INVITED HIM TO DINNER, AND I HAD SOME FRIENDS IN TOWN.
AND I HAD PROMISED, BECAUSE I WAS THE QUEEN OF ATLANTA--
EVERYONE SAID I KNEW THE CITY BEST, THAT I WOULD TAKE CARE OF
THE RESERVATION AND TAKE THEM TO THE NICEST RESTAURANT IN TOWN.
CUT TO, I HAD MY ASSISTANT CALL, AND HE DROPPED MY NAME, AND MY
NAME DIDN'T MATTER.
THEY WERE LIKE, "WE DON'T REALLY CARE.
THE RESTAURANT IS BUSY.
WE CAN'T TAKE YOU."
AND I SAID, "OH, (BLEEP), I ALREADY PROMISED THIS"-- OH, AM
I ALLOWED TO SWEAR?
WELL, I DID, SO THERE IT IS.
SO I HAD MY ASSISTANT CALL AGAIN, SAME VOICE, BUT SAY THAT
HE WAS SAM'S ASSISTANT -- >> Stephen: OH, "I'M CALLING
FOR SAMUEL JACKSON."
>> YES, AND THEY NOT ONLY GOT US A TABLE FOR EIGHT, BUT THEY GOT
IT ON THE INSIDE PLUS THEY GOT US A TABLE FOR EIGHT IN A
PRIVATE ROOM JUST IN CASE SAM DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN THE MAIN
ROOM.
( LAUGHTER ) CUT TO WE GET TO THE RESTAURANT,
AND NOW WE HAVE TWO TABLES, AND WE THOUGHT MAYBE HE WOULD COME,
BUT AS THE DINNER WENT ON, LIKE, HE WASN'T COMING.
AND THEY WERE LIKE OH, COOL.
THE WAITERS WERE ALL EXCITED TO.
"I CAN'T WAIT TO MEANTIME SAM."
AND IT WAS JUST ME AND A COUPLE OF OTHER KIDS.
AND AS THE MEAL WENT ON THEY KEPT COMING AROUND.
AND THEY WERE LIKE, "IS HE COMING?"
I SAID, "YEAH, FIVE MINUTES, 10 MINUTES AWAY, ON HIS WAY."
30 MINUTES GO BY, THEY KEEP CIRC HING, AND BY THE END OF IT, I
MADE UP A LIE AND I WAS LIKE, "OH, SAM JUST CALLED.
ACTUALLY"-- AT THE TIME OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT.
"OBAMA ASKED HIM TO COME TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
SO HE GOT ON THE JET.
SAM CAN'T MAKE IT."
>> Stephen: THAT'S A BIG LIE.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO LIE, LIE BIG.
>> YOU CAN'T GET MAD.
IF OBAMA CALLS YOU GO.
>> Stephen: THE NEW FILM IS CALLED "DOG DAYS."
YOU HAVE A LOT OF CANINE COSTARS ON THIS.
WHAT DOES THE SET SMELL LIKE?
IS IT THE WORST-SMELLING SET YOU HAVE BEEN ON OR WAS IT THE BEST?
>> I LIKE PUPPY BREATH, SO I DIDN'T MIND IT.
ALSO, I WILL TAKE A FOUR-LEGGED COSTAR OVER A TWO-LEGGED COSTAR
ANY DAY.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: REALLY.
THEY'RE MORE RELIABLE?
>> THEY'RE MORE RELIABLE, THEY'RE CUTER, THEY'RE FUZZIER,
THEY CUDDLE MORE, AND THEY DON'T TALK BACK.
>> Stephen: BUT COULD YOU GET THEM A RESERVATION?
>> FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCE, I THINK SO, NECESSARY.
>> Stephen: NINA, LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
"DOG DAYS" IS IN THEATERS NOW.
NINA DOBREV, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH COMEDIAN MICHAEL PALASCAK.
