-Welcome back to "Late Night." We're here with my family
and it does seem like Dad's
maybe wrapping up. Mom, you want
to unmute him real quick?
-So -- -Alright.
-[ Laughs ] -So, anyway, it's a great story.
It's one of Hilary's favorites,
[ Laughter ] so, I'm glad I was able
to tell it tonight. -It was really good.
It was really good, Dad. -Yeah.
-Everybody here liked it a lot. -You know what?
I can't hear the audience, really, being remote like this,
but I really just got the sense that they really enjoyed it.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
They really, really loved it.
-Just from the expressions on your faces,
I think it really tracked with them.
[ Laughter ] Thank you so much.
I'm glad you guys liked it.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-No, yeah, give him his round of applause. Well-deserved.
So, you guys showed up, came over.
First thing you did was stop at the apartment, my apartment.
I was here at work. -Mm-hmm.
-You got in early, couldn't check into your hotel yet.
Did you enjoy? Were you happy to come to my apartment?
Was it, uh, hospital -- hospitable?
-It's colder inside than outside.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-Like in New York, in November.
And your television doesn't work.
-Nope.
[ Laughter ] -There's mustard, I think,
in the fridge, but not much else.
-No, we always like to have one jar of mustard.
It's a way of letting our guests know they're welcome.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
So, yeah. -Now, what are your requests
when you come stay at a home?
We've left a spoiler.
There's been an Easter egg already in this interview.
-[ Laughs ]
-Alright.
Beverages. See, I drink sparkling water.
I drink grapefruit juice.
I drink gin, I drink tonic,
and sometimes I'll drink beer
and sometimes I'll drink wine.
-Now, what do we have?
-Water. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] -Not even sparkling water.
-No, it comes right from the tap.
-I know. -[ Smooch ]
[ Laughter ]
Look, you're getting your free drinks elsewhere.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, you did make a special trip
and went out and bought gin and soda.
-I made a mistake, yeah. -Everyone loves
a nice gin and soda. -I knew my mom was coming and I
went out to get gin and tonic
and I accidentally got gin and soda,
a drink no one orders.
[ Laughter ]
Now, Josh, one of the other things that has been --
I guess you've had to be a little creative,
in recent years, about Thanksgiving
and, in general, you're a vegan, now, for how many years?
-Coming on three. -Coming on three.
And recently visited Mom and Dad.
And you, very sweetly, went out of your way
to make sure that he was taken care of. -Yeah.
Kale and chickpea and it was a soup with --
-So, what kind of soup was it?
Like a kale-chickpea soup? -Kale-chickpea soup, yep.
-Was it good, Josh? -Yeah, it was a New York Times
recipe, I want to say. -Yeah.
-Like she cut it out special
-Delicious. -and prepped for my arrival.
-You, as a son, you must feel loved
when that happened. -Yeah, yeah.
-Dad, was there any errors in the soup?
[ Alert chimes ] -Just one.
[ Laughter ] I mean, there were a lot
of ingredients and a lot to do.
The problem was that, instead of using vegetable broth --
she came so close and --
[ Laughter ] very close.
But she used chicken broth.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah. -So, it wasn't vegan.
-Yeah. And, now, did you --
-That's probably why it was so good, but...
[ Laughter ]
...it wasn't vegan and Josh came down the next morning and said,
"Did you use chicken broth in that soup?
Because my stomach's a little upset."
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
But she came really close. -She really came close.
You know, if there's only one ingredient in there,
that's pretty close. -Yeah.
I tried. -You know, the thing is --
Yeah. -You know, one would say
you could maybe be as forgiving about gin and soda.
[ Laughter ] -Oh.
One could say that. -One could say that.
-One could say that. -The thing that concerns me is
that I know she's been trying to poison me,
but I never thought she'd try to poison Josh.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, that's true.
That's about --
Once you get a taste of the poisoning,
you just start doing it to everyone.
But, Josh, anyway, it is --
I do hope -- I know you're going back to L.A.
I do hope you have a great vegan Thanksgiving.
-Yeah, I will. And I don't like --
I know it gets tedious for like vegans
to talk about being vegans... -Yeah.
-...but I did write a song about it
[ Laughter ] and I don't know if I can sing that.
-Oh, we don't have time, but -- -No, perfect, perfect.
[ Laughter, cheering, and applause ]
[ Band play bright tune ]
[ Laughter ]
Hey, Seth, do you think
animals like you?
-I don't think about it at all.
[ Laughter ] -Well, they probably don't,
because you eat them,
but I wrote a verse about how they like me.
Can I sing that one? -We are out of time.
-2, 3, 4. [ Laughter ]
[ Laughter ] Ooh!
Big and plump.
I like that.
[ Laughter ]
[ Laughter ] [ Sighs ]
Look at this.
[ Crunch ] Mmm!
Oh!
[ Laughter ]
Ooh! Ooh!
[ Laughter ]
Man.
This is raw.
[ Laughter ] Unsalted.
[ Crunch ]
Mmm! Mmm.
[ Laughter ]
-Is that the same nut?
[ Laughter ] -Mmm.
Mmm. [ Laughter ]
Wow!
Oh! It was a big nut.
[ Laughter ]
Eli.
