-Welcome back to the show.
I appreciate you coming back here.
You were my first guest ever
in my whole experience being a talk show host.
-Yes. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
That was supposed --
Most of your answers were one-word answers, yeah.
But I remember, I was so nervous.
Thank you again. I'll never forget it.
Thank you for doing that.
And I was so nervous.
I was talking to your publicist or something.
He said, "Bob wants to see the questions."
First of all, I can't even call you Bob
because I was so nervous.
And I go, "Okay, whatever."
He wants to see the questions before you ask on the show.
I said, "Okay." Here's his e-mail address.
And they had some -- probably some dummy e-mail address
you don't use anymore. Anyways, I was so nervous.
I sent the questions, like 15 questions to you,
and you go, "Pretty good."
[ Laughter ]
"What else have you got?"
I go, "Uh, okay."
So I wrote up another 15 questions
or something like that.
I'm sweating. This is how hard it is.
I sent it to you and you go, "It's okay."
[ Laughter ]
"Getting closer. What else have you got?"
And I go, "Oh, my goodness."
Now my questions are getting bizarre.
And as I'm typing, I got an e-mail from you that go,
"Ha ha, just kidding. See you on the show."
[ Cheers and applause ]
You totally got me. My first ever guest.
Oh, gosh.
Thank you for doing the bit today with the dog.
I love seeing you do comedy.
You were great on "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend.
-Oh, thanks. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Was it fun teaming up with Ben Stiller again?
-Yeah, it was great. We had a good time.
-Are there talk about another "Meet the Parents" maybe?
-I don't know.
That's a good question.
I don't know at this point.
-We would be into it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You guys have great chemistry.
It was good to see the lie detector scene.
It was great.
Speaking of good chemistry, you guys always work together.
Everyone's eyes are on this new movie coming out
you have called "The Irishman." -Yeah.
-Now, that is directed by Martin Scorsese.
-Yes.
-And it's you and it's Al Pacino
and it's Harvey Keitel and it's Joe Pesci.
[ Cheers and applause ] What?!
I mean, I'm so excited about it.
There's been a couple of photos
leaked about you guys filming scenes.
And there was something about you and Al Pacino's feet
that people were obsessed with. -Yes, yes.
-Do you know what I'm talking about?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
-There's a photo of you on the street.
Can you explain what's going on?
This is -- Zoom in. [ Laughter ]
First of all, I don't understand this at all.
If you told me that was a Jerry Lewis movie, I'd go okay.
But then, what is happening here?
-Well, those are kind of things we made
to give me a few more inches in height,
because the guy was actually much taller than -- not much.
Yeah, he was about five, six inches taller than me.
-Yeah.
-And so just to show the relation to any of the actors
or characters that I'm heavy -- taller.
So that's what we used.
When we had a wide shot,
that wasn't the shot we were shooting.
-The camera would cut that off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's happening with Al's feet?
Was it just an odd pose?
-I don't know. -Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[ Laughter ]
Let's talk about the Tribeca Film Festival.
Congratulations. 17 years. -Yeah, 17 years.
-Holy moley. [ Cheers and applause ]
Ah, but it's -- I was there, the first one,
and every single year,
it's just grown and grown and gotten bigger.
Last year, you set records for attendance.
I mean, it's a giant, giant festival now.
-Yeah, no, and we're very happy that it's doing so well.
It's doing even better this year, the way I understand it.
And hopefully it will be part of the fabric of New York
for decades to come.
And as long as the city is here, the festival will be here.
-Yeah. People will -- Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I love that.
The opening movie is a documentary about Gilda Radner.
-Yes, yes. -Which I'm very excited about.
You always kind of like to launch new directors.
I appreciate that as a fan.
-And we have 46% of the films are done by women this year.
-Oh, is that right? [ Cheers and applause ]
That's fantastic.
Did you ever meet Gilda Radner?
-I did. I spent a night with her after the show, "SNL."
Must have been 30 years ago.
-Is that right?
We went to her apartment with some friends,
we go, hung out together.
-I just heard the best stuff.
Everyone said she's so charming.
You just want to hang out with her,
like, just fall immediately in love with her.
But -- So, the festival, when you first started,
it was all movies.
Now you branch out and you do TV shows, TV debut.
It's a big deal.
I know Ralph Macchio's Karate Kid TV show "Cobra Kai"
is coming up. -Yes.
-I cannot wait for that thing.
Ralph is coming on Friday.
If you haven't seen "The Karate Kid" --
Anyways, Daniel starts his own dojo up against John.
Anyway, you'll see it.
[ Laughter ]
But that's debuting during the festival.
You also do -- Remember you were here once, you had an AI thing,
or, you had a computer virtual reality thing
that you were doing. -Yes, yes.
-You were in a prison. -Yes.
-And this year, you're doing video games.
-Yes.
-So, "God of War" is going to debut,
which is going to be a giant, giant --
[ Laughter ]
Trust me. That's going to be a giant video game.
Do you play video games? -No.
-Have you ever played video games?
-Pacman. That was it.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Yeah.
That's a great one to play if you're going to play one.
[ Laughter ]
You're closing the festival
with the movie called "The Fourth Estate."
-Yes. -What is that film about?
-That's about -- It basically, it was certain writers
in "The New York Times"
and about how they deal on a daily basis with stories.
Today it's the administration, a lot of the stories,
and how to get it right,
especially with what the administration
will call fake news whenever they get a chance.
So it's a necessary movie to see.
It's one of four parts.
And it's closing the festival,
which feels like the right thing.
-Absolutely. [ Applause ]
Well I can't congratulate you enough on everything.
Thank you for doing this.
If you're in New York, go to the Tribeca Film Festival.
If you are traveling or want to come, come this Wednesday.
Starting Wednesday, you'll have so much fun.
It's great.
The legendary Robert De Niro right there.
