HELLO!
( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERING )
>> Stephen: HELLO!
>> HELLO, EVERYONE.
>> Stephen: NICE TO HAVE SUCH A GLAMOROUS DUO ON THE SHOW
TONIGHT.
YOU TWO, THE SHOW IS CALLED "A VERY BRITISH SCANDAL."
IT'S ON THE AMAZON, THE PRIME VIDEO.
EVIE AND I GOBBLED IT DOWN, ALL THREE EPISODES ON SATURDAY.
ONCE WE STARTED, WE COULDN'T STOP.
YOU PLAY JUST THE MOST AWFUL PEOPLE WHO-- BUT ARE JUST-- IT'S
JUST SO WONDERFUL TO WATCH YOU BE AS AWFUL AS YOU ARE.
AND THESE ARE BASED ON REAL PEOPLE, RIGHT?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: BUT ON TOP OF THAT YOU PUT ON CHARACTER NAMES AT
THE SAME TIME.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY OF A FAMOUS DIVORCE BETWEEN A DUKE AND
DUCHESS OF ARGYLL, RIGHT?
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
>> IT WAS SORT OF A PUBLIC TRAIN WRECK WITH TEA.
>> Stephen: THIS WAS IN ALL OF THE PAPERS.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: THIS WAS-- THIS WAS A HUGE SCANDAL.
THEY WERE SORT OF FAMOUSLY BON VIVANTS, RIGHT?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WHEN YOU ACTUALLY SHOT THIS, THAT SCENE WHERE HE'S
CARRYING YOU INTO INVERARAY CASTLE WHEN YOU FIRST GOT
MARRIED.
YOU ACTUALLY SHOT AROUND INVERARAY CASTLE.
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
BECAUSE IS THERE A PRESENT DUKE WILL ARIL?
>> YES, THERE IS.
AND HE WAS THERE.
AND WHEN -- >> Stephen: IS HE, LIKE, THE
GRANDSON OR SOMETHING?
>> HE'S THE GRANDSON OF IAN, IAN CAMPBELL.
>> AND HE WAS REALLY GOOD WITH CATTLE, I SEEM TO REMEMBER.
HE HAD TO SORT OF SHOO IT CAMPBELL-- HE WAS GREAT WITH
CATTLE AND WHISKEY.
>> Stephen: HE WAS GOOD WITH WHISKEY?
>> HE HAS HIS OWN WHISKEY BRAND CALLED...
>> THE ROYAL SALUTE.
>> AND IT WAS AMAZING.
AND HE GAVE US SOME.
IN FACT, HE LEFTINOUS A ROOM WITH SOME, AND HE SAID, "HERE'S
THE 300 POUND BOTTLE, HERE'S THE 600 POUND BOTTLE, HERE'S THE
2,000 POUND BOTTLE, AND YOU SHOULD START FROM HERE AND HE
LEFT.
AND CLAIRE AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE 2,000.
>> AND NOW HE'LL KNOW THAT.
>> HEROIC PAUSE.
>> IT WAS DELICIOUS!
>> Stephen: IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A HAUNTED CASTLE.
IT'S LIST AS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE HAUNTED CASTLES.
DID YOU SEE A GHOST?
>> NO.
>> THE ONLY SPIRITS THEY CAME INTO CONTACT WITH WERE THE
DRINKS.
( LAUGHTER )
GHOSTS EITHER OF YOU?
>> THE 2,000-POUND BOTTLE.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL OR GHOSTS?
>> VERY MUCH SO, YES.
>> Stephen: DO YOU REALLY?
>> YES.
DO YOU NOT?
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT GHOSTS.
I BELIEVE IN A-- OH, THIS IS GOING TO COME OUT WRONG.
THIS IS GOING TO COME OUT WRONG.
>> DO IT.
>> Stephen: I WAS GOING TO SAY I BELIEVE IN A SPIRIT REALM.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE I'M ABOUT TO SUMMON SOMETHING ON TO THE STAGE
RIGHT NOW.
EXCUSE ME WHILE I SACRIFICE A GOAT.
THAT WOULD BE A FUN THING TO DO, TO HAVE A SEGMENT OF A SHOW
WHERE YOU DO OUIJA BOARDSES WITH STARS.
WILL YOU COME BACK AND OUIJA BOARD WITH STARS?
>> WHO KNOWS.
IT'S LIKE "GHOSTBUSTERS" ISN'T IT?
>> WHAT'S YOUR NEXT ROLE.
>> YOU SHALL NOT WORK FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
>> Stephen: CLAIRE, YOU PLAYED THE QUEEN IN "THE CROWN,"
BEAUTIFULLY, AS EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS.
THAT'S THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
( APPLAUSE )
DUCHESS.
>> I MADE THE SAME JOKE!
>> YOU DID MAKE THE SAME JOKE.
IT'S A GOOD ONE, GUYS.
I MEAN, WHAT WILL BE NEXT, THEN?
>> Stephen: UH, UH...
>> MIDDLE LING TO LOW RANK -- >> Stephen: A DAME.
>> I LIKE THAT.
>> Stephen: WHO DO YOU WOULD MAKE THE BETTER NOBLE IF YOU
GUYS COULD HAVE A NOBLE TITLE?
WHICH DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE?
>> I THINK IT WOULD BE YOU.
>> OH, MY GOD!
>> Stephen: WHY?
>> LOOK AT HIM.
HE'S SO -- >> Stephen: YOU'RE SO LONG?
IS THAT PART OF IT?
>> HE LOOKS BETTER, DOESN'T HE?
HE LOOKS MORE DEBONAIR.
>> THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
>> Stephen: HE DOES NOT LOOK BETTER THAN YOU.
I AM A PROFESSIONAL.
( LAUGHTER )
A BREAK TO PAY SOME BILLS HERE, BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, I WILL
ASK PAUL WHETHER WE MIGHT SEE HIS CHARACTER FROM "WANDAVISION"
AGAIN ANY TIME SOON.
STICK AROUND.
