♪ ♪ ♪ >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK.
MY NEXT GUEST IS A STAND-UP COMEDIAN AND ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM
"ONE MISSISSIPPI" AND "STAR TREK: DISCOVERY."
HER NEW FILM IS "ARMY OF THE DEAD."
>> WE PUT TOGETHER A CREW FOR A JOB.
>> YEAH, WHAT DOES IT PAY?
>> YOU MAKE $2 MILLION FOR ONE DAY'S WORK.
>> $2 MILLION.
THAT'S MY SHARE?
THAT'S JUST FOR ME?
$2 MILLION IF IT PANS OUT.
100% I'M IN, YEAH.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE RISKS OR--
>> WHY WOULD I WANT TO KNOW THE RISKS?
$2 MILLION.
THAT'S A LOT OF CASH.
LISTEN, I HATE MY LIFE SO DEEPLY, IF I HAD $2 MILLION, MY
LIFE WOULD CHANGE DRASTICALLY.
YEAH.
THANK YOU.
YES.
>> YOU YOU'RE YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW?
>> I BET IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A HELICOPTER?
>> YEAH.
>> AND THE HELICOPTER GUY?
>> YEAH.
WHERE DO I SIGN?
( LAUGHTER )
TO "A LATE SHOW," TIG NOTARO.
HEY, TIG.
>> HE, STEPHEN.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> Stephen: I'M DOING GREAT.
I AM-- I AM TRULY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR PERFORMANCE IN
"ARMY OF THE DEAD."
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FREAKING OUT A LITTLE BIT AT ALL THE PREVIEWS
OF YOU IN THIS MOVIE.
WE'RE USED TO LOVING TIG NOTARO, BUT WE'RE NOT USED TO A BAD-ASS
TIG NOTARO.
DO YOU ENJOY, YOU KNOW, HAVING THE LITTLE YOU KNOW KICKING A
LITTLE ASS AND TAKING NAMES?
DOES THIS FEEL NATURAL ON ANY LEVEL TO YOU?
>> IT FEELS GOOD.
IT'S FUNNY, I REMEMBER WHEN I PUT ON THE OUTFIT FOR THE FIRST
TIME AND WALKED OUT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.
THEY WERE LIKE, "OKAY...
I THINK THIS MIGHT BE YOUR THING."
>> Stephen: IT LOOKS LIKE A COMFY JUMPSUIT.
>> YEAH, THEY GAVE ME ONE TO TAKE HOME, WHICH IS NICE!
>> Stephen: OH, THAT IS NICE.
I KNOW-- I HEARD THAT YOU ACTUALLY REPLACED AN ACTOR WHO
HAD ALREADY SHOT THIS PART, SO THEY CAME IN AND SAID, "OKAY,
THE MOVIE IS DONE BUT WE'RE GOING TO PUT YOU INTO THIS
PART."
SO YOU GOT TO SEE THE WHOLE MOVIE BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY EVEN
DECIDED WHETHER YOU WANTED TO BE IN THE MOVIE, RIGHT?
>> CORRECT.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND, OBVIOUSLY, I DON'T WANT YOU TO TELL ME
ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MOVIE, BUT DID YOU-- SO
YOU-- WERE YOU NEVER ON SET WITH, LIKE, DAVE BAH TEFT OR
ANYBODY?
>> I NEVER MET DAVE BAUTISTE IN MY LIFE, I NEVER MET THE MAN.
>> NONE OF THE OTHER ACTORS.
IT'S JUST YOU ON GREEN SCREEN THE ENTIRE TIME.
>> IT IS ME ON GREEN SCREEN THE WHOLE TIME.
BUT THERE IS A HALF DAY ANAUONE OF THE ACTS CAME, AND SHE WALKED
ME FROM A STAIRWELL TO HALFWAY TO MY HELICOPTER.
AND MY ASSISTANT WAS ON SET AND HE'S S 6'2" AND THEY WOULD PUT H
IN A GREEN SUIT AND EVERY NOW AND THEN I WOULD LOOK UP AND
LOOK AT HIM.
>> Stephen: WAS HE SUPPOSED TO BE DAVE BAUTISTA?
>> YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.
IT WAS SUCH A TECHNICAL SHOOT, THAT THEY WOULD SAY, "LOOK IN
THIS DIRECTION, WALK EXACTLY ON THIS LINE."
AND I DWOWLD THAT, AND THEN THEY'D LOOK AT IT ON THE SCREEN,
AFTER THEY GREEN SCREENED MY PERFORMANCE IN, AND THEN THEY'D
COME BACK AND SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT, LET'S MOVE IS TA
CENTIMETER TO THE LEFT AND DO IT EXACTLY THE SAME.
AND SOMETIMES THEY'D HANG A TENNIS BALL, LIKE HOW YOU DO IN
A GARAGE, WHERE TO PARK.
>> Stephen: PARK YOUR CAR, SURE.
>> YEAH.
OR THEY'D PUT A LITTLE PIECE OF TAPE ON THE WALL IN THE
DISTANCE.
THEY'D BE LIKE, "LOOK AT THAT.
WALK ALONG THIS LINE."
BECAUSE I HAD TO RECREATE SIMILAR MOVEMENTS AS THE
PREVIOUS ACTOR, AND, ALSO, IN GROUP SHOTS, I NEEDED TO FALL IN
LINE EXACTLY WHERE THE REST OF THE CAST WAS.
IT WAS INSANE.
>> Stephen: SO WAS IT JUST YOU AND ZAK SNYDER TOGETHER, JUST
THE TWO OF YOU?
>> HE HAD A SCALED DOWN CREW, AND, YEAH, IT WAS-- IT WAS
REALLY SCALED DOWN.
AND HE WAS THE CINEMATOGRAPHER.
HE WAS THE CAMERAMAN, THE THE DIRECTOR.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> IT WAS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
>> Stephen: DID YOU LIKE THE GREEN SCREEN ACTING, OR DOES IT
FEEL STERILE?
>> I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH ZAK.
I TRULY DID.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH HIM.
AND THE CREW.
THEY WERE SO INCREDIBLE.
BUT I NEVER WANT TO DO IT AGAIN.
I WANT TO BE IN AN ACTUAL MOVIE WITH PEOPLE.
>> >> Stephen: THERE YOU ARE.
THERE YOU ARE.
WITH KEY POINT OUT WHAT YOU'RE WEARING?
YOU'RE WEARING SLIP-ON FLIP-FLOPS FROM, LIKE, A DAY
SPA.
IS THAT YOUR CHOICE OR A CHARACTER CHOICE?
>> YOU'RE BLOWING MY COOL, STEPHEN.
EVIDENCE TRENDING ON TWITTER FOR BEING A BAD ASS, AND HOT, AND
NOW YOU'RE SHOWING THAT I'M, YOU KNOW, A VERY TYPICAL GAY WOMAN
IN COMFORTABLE SHOES.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: OH, OKAY.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS-- I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS TYPICAL.
I HAD HEARD-- >> YOU DIDN'T --
>> Stephen: NO, I DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS TYPICAL OF GAY WOMEN
WAS TO BE COMFORTABLE.
>> YES, GAY WOMEN WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES.
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH.
>> I GUESS WE DON'T RUN IN THE SAME CIRCLE S.
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT'S A GREAT CHOICE.
>> THANK YOU.
IT'S ONE OF MY BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BUT WHEN WE COME
BACK, TIG AND I ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT COTTON CANDY.
