>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY FIRST GUEST IS A WRITER,
PRODUCER, AND ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM "KNOCKED UP," "PINEAPPLE
EXPRESS," AND "NEIGHBORS."
HIS NEW FILM IS "LONG SHOT."
>> I'M NERVOUS.
THIS PRETTY WOMAN.
JULIA ROBERTS AND RICHARD GERE IS ABOUT TO COME PICK YOU UP.
>> DO I LOOK OKAY?
DO I LOOK FUNNY?
A WHY ARE THESE POCKETS HERE?
THEY'RE TOO TAPERED.
>> YOU CAN'T THINK LIKE THAT.
YOU HAVE TO BE POSITIVE.
>> MR. -- WISH ME LUCK.
YOU DON'T NEED LUCK, LUCK IS FOR LOSERS.
YOU HAVE DESTINY ON YOUR SIDE.
>> YOU BODY BODY.
DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW," SETH
ROGEN!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> IT'S DELIGHTFUL.
THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> YOU, TOO.
GREAT TO BE HERE.
>> Stephen: HOW WAS YOUR SPRING?
>> A LOVELY SEASON OF REBIRTH.
IS THAT WHAT SPRING IS?
SURE.
>> Stephen: TRADITIONALLY.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: IF IT'S NOT, WE'RE ALL IN BIG TROUBLE.
>> EXACTLY.
NO.
MY SPRING HAS BEEN GOOD.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU LOOK FORWARD TO
MOST?
WE'RE STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF SUMMER.
>> WE ARE.
THERE'S NOTHING SPECIFICALLY I LOOK FORWARD TO.
THE WEATHER IS NICER, DAYS ARE LONGER.
>> Stephen: NEW MOVIES.
EVERAL MOVIES COMING OUT.
LONG SHOT.
I HAVE "LONG SHOT" COMING OUT.
>> Stephen: "LONG SHOT" WITH CHARLIZE THERON.
>> CHARLIZE THERON, YEAH.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WHAT'S THAT LIKE?
HAVE YOU WORKED WITH HER BEFORE?
>> NO.
I WAS SCARED.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I'VE INTERVIEWED
HER AND IT'S A LITTLE SCARY.
>> IT'S A LITTLE SCARY.
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I'M AN ACTOR AND I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE
ASSUME I'M WHOM MY CHARACTERS ARE.
BUT WHEN I MEET ANOTHER ACTOR, I JUST ASSUME THEY ARE WHO THEIR
CHARACTERS ARE.
AND WHIN MET CHARLIZE THERON, I WAS, LIKE, SHE'S GOING TO KILL
ME.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SHE DOES, SHE KILLS PEOPLE, GENERALLY, ON
FILM.
AND IN A MOVIE I'M THE TYPE OF GUY SHE WOULD KILL, 100%.
( LAUGHTER ) , NO, BUT I WAS A HUGE FAN OF
HERS FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
I WOULD SEE HER INTERVIEWS AND SHE WAS ALWAYS VERY FUNNY, SO I
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO TRY TO MAKE, LIKE, A COMEDY WITH
HER.
BUT SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE ACTOR, AND I AM LIKE AN OKAY ACTOR, BUT
I REALIZE I'M NOT -- I'M NOT AS GOOD AS SHE IS AT ALL, AND ONE
OF THE THINGS I KNOW THAT MAKES ME NOT A GREAT ACTOR IS WHEN I'M
IN A SCENE WITH SOMEONE WHO'S ACTING REALLY, REALLY WELL, I
FIND MYSELF THINKING, WHOA, THIS PERSON'S DOING GOOD!
AND I'M, LIKE -- ( LAUGHTER )
-- THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD BE -- AND I START ANYTHING, I
SHOULDN'T BE THINKING THAT.
I'M IN A SCENE LIKE THAT.
AND THEN I'M, LIKE, SHE'S STARING AT ME, SHOULD BY
TALKING?
I'M SURE DAVID LEWIS HAS NEVER THOUGHT THAT THROUGHOUT THE
COURSE OF HIS CAREER, NO.
>> Stephen: I KNOW YOU'RE NOT YOUR CHARACTERS.
>> NO, I'M NOT.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU DO ENJOY THE OCCASIONAL MARIJUANA
CIGARETTE MY UNDERSTANDING IS.
>> YEAH, I SMOKE WEED ALL DAY EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU EVER ACTED HIGH?
>> FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS EXCLUSIVELY.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: COULD THAT BE WHY YOU STEP OUTSIDE OF THE SCENE SO
OFTEN?
>> YEAH, I BECOME A VIEWER, OH, WOW, SHE'S VERY CLOSE, VERY
VIVID -- >> Stephen: DO YOU EVER WANT
TO SNACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCENE?
>> THERE ARE SCENES WHERE YOU GET TO EAT, AND THAT IS A LOVELY
THING.
BUT, NO, YEAH, I DO SMOKE A LOT OF WEED.
>> Stephen: I TRY TO IMPROVISE HIGH ONCE.
I STOOD ON STAGE AND WAS, LIKE, THESE GUYS ARE GOOD.
BOY, SHE'S LIKELY FUNNY.
>> I'M A GREAT AUDIENCE MEMBER.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
BUT I ACTUALLY ENJOY IT IN MY PERSONAL LIFE AND ON FILM.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: SO KEEP IN MIND,
ANY MOVIE WE SEE YOU IN, THERE'S A FAIRLY GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU'RE
HIGH.
>> THERE'S 100%, YES.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: YOU AND HARRISON
FORD.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: NOW, YOU ALSO HAVE ANOTHER HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FILM
COMING OUT.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: IS THIS THIS SUMMER, TOO?
>> IT IS IN JULY, YES.
>> Stephen: HOLY COW, WHAT A BIG POMMER, YOU ARE PLAYING
PUMBA IN THE "LION KING."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> IT'S AMAZING.
>> Stephen: IS THAT A DREAM ROLE FOR YOU?
>> IT REALLY IS.
I GREW UP LOVING THE LINE KING.
IT EMOTIONALLY HURT ME AS A CHILD.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: SURE, WHAT WAS HIS
FATHER, M M MUFASA IS KILLED.
>> IN A VERY GRAPHIC WAY.
IT BRINGS YOU TO LOW LOWS AND HIGH HIGHS.
NO PUN INTENDED.
BUT, YEAH, I LOVE MY FRIEND JOHN FAVRO DIRECTED IT, I'VE KNOWN
HIM FOREVER.
BEYONCE IS IN THE FILM, WHICH IS EXCITING
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: DID YOU DO ANY
SCENES WITH BEYONCE?
>> TECHNICALLY PUMBA AND NALA SHARE SCENES.
I DID NOT MEET BEYONCE, NO.
>> Stephen: WHY WOULD YOU NOT MEET BEYONCE?
YOU'RE BOTH IN A FILM TOGETHER.
>> SHE HAS NOT BEEN WHERE I HAVE YET.
I'VE TRIED -- I WAS CLOSE TO MEETING HER ONCE AROUND, I
THINK, 11 YEARS AGO AT THE GRAMMYS.
I WAS INTRODUCING EMINEM WHO WAS PERFORMING, HE ASKED ME TO
INTRODUCE HIM.
WHEN EMINEM ASKS YOU TO DO ANYTHING YOU SAY YEAH BECAUSE
YOU DON'T WANT TO HIM OFF, I DON'T THINK, HONESTLY.
IT WAS BACKSTAGE AT THE GRAMMYS, NERVOUS AND DRINKING AS I TENDED
TO DO AT THE TIME, AND I HAD A DRINK AND I SAW BEYONCE AND
GWYNETH PALTROW KIND OF, LIKE, FLOATING TOWARDS ME BACKSTAGE.
>> Stephen: THEY DON'T USE FEET.
>> NO FEET.
THEY WERE KIND OF JUST LIKE GLIDING AROUND.
>> Stephen: YES.
AND I WAS, LIKE, I'M A HUGE FAN OF BEYONCE, SHE'S WITH
GWYNETH PALTROW, I'LL GO SAY HI.
AND I TRIED TO GO OVER TO SAY HI AND, LIKE, AN ARM HIT ME IN THE
CHEST LIKE A BASEBALL BAT!
AND IT WAS HER SECURITY WHO JUST, LIKE, KNOCKED ME ASIDE
WITH SUCH FORCE THAT I SPILLED MY DRINK ALL OVER MYSELF, AND
THEN I HAD TO PRESENT, AND, SO, WHEN I PRESENTED, I ACTUALLY AM
STANDING FUNNY BECAUSE I SPILLED A DRINK ALL OVER MYSELF BECAUSE
OF BEYONCE'S SECURITY GUARD.
BUT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IF I SAW ME APPROACHING BEYONCE --
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: DID YOU THINK
ABOUT THIS -- >> -- I WOULD SWAT MYSELF ASIDE
WITH BLATANT DISREGARD.
>> Stephen: DID YOU THINK ABOUT SAYING TO THE GUARD, IT'S
OKAY, I'M HIGH?
( LAUGHTER ) >> YEAH, I ASSUME IT'S APPARENT.
YEAH.
IT WOULD MAKE ME LESS OF A THREAT IN GENERAL.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK.
JUST HOLD ON.
HOLD THAT THOUGHT.
BACK WITH MORE SETH ROGEN!
