[ APPLAUSE ] >>> DID YOU WATCH "THIS IS US"
LAST NIGHT?
LAST NIGHT?
YOU KNOW THAT CHRIS SULLIVAN,
WHO PLAYS TOBY, GOT BIG NEWS
FROM HIS FIANCEE, KATE.
HE HAS SHOT TO FAME ON THIS
SHOW.
HE IS KNOWN FOR HIS THOUGHTFUL, FUNNY, IRREVERENT INTERVIEWS.L,
FUNNY, IRREVERENT INTERVIEWS. HES HERE.
HES HERE.
BUT FIRST, WANT TO GET YOU UP TO
SPEED ON WHAT HAPPENED LAST
NIGHT.
>> IM PREGNANT.
>> EXCUSE ME?
>> IM EIGHT WEEKS PREGNANT. >> SO, WHAT YOURE TELLING ME
IS --
IS -- >> WERE PREGNANT.
>> WELL, THAT IS THE GREATEST
THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY
WHOLE LIFE.
WHOLE LIFE.
OH, MY GOD. >> AW. GOD.
>> AW. CHRIS SULLIVAN, COME ON OUT.
WELCOME.
WELCOME.
[ APPLAUSE ] >> I KNOW. ]
>> I KNOW. >> WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU.
IM SO EXCITED.
THIS IS GREAT TO KNOW, KATE IS
PREGNANT.
PREGNANT.
>> YES.
>> EVEN BETTER WOULD BE, HOW
DOES JACK DIE?
[ LAUGHTER ]
FIRE?
WAS IT FIRE?
IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS FIRE. >> THIS IS GREAT.WAS FIRE.
>> THIS IS GREAT. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. THERE YOU GO.
SAD.
SAD.
I CAME OUT TO INTERVIEW THE COST
OF "THIS IS US" A MONTH OR SO AGO, AND WAS STUNNED HOWOR SO
AGO, AND WAS STUNNED HOW THOUGHTFUL AND INTROSPECTIVE ALL
OF YOU WERE.
ESPECIALLY YOU.
ESPECIALLY YOU. YOU SAY THE SHOW SPEAKS THE
LANGUAGE OF VULNERABILITY.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> A LOT OF TIMES, I THINK DRAMA
IS DERIVED FROM CONFLICT.
ESPECIALLY CONFLICTS THAT PUSHES
PEOPLE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
AND I THINK THAT THE BEAUTIFUL
PART ABOUT THIS SHOW IS THAT YOU
SEE THESE CHARACTERS, THESE
PEOPLE, IN ALL OF THEIR
IMPERFECTION, WITH ALL OF THEIR
FLAWS, ENGAGING WITH EACH OTHER.
AND INSTEAD OF USING THAT
CONFLICT TO MOVE AWAY FROM EACH
OTHER, THEY USE IT TO COME
CLOSER AND TO FORM STRONGER
BONDS.
BONDS.
>> YOU SAID ITS LIKE A TRAINING
MANUAL, ON LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS.
>> I THINK SO.
>> HAVE YOU -- HAVE YOU LEARNED
ANYTHING FROM IT?
>> YEAH.
IVE -- IVE LEARNED MORE FROM PLAYING TOBY THAN I THINK TOBY
HAS LEARNED FROM ME.
I THINK THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
LESSONS IN THERE, YOU KNOW?
THAT LESSON -- THAT LESSON THAT
WE LEARN, YOU KNOW, WITH JACK
AND REBECCA, THE GET IN THE CAR.
THE STAY IN THE RING.
THE FIGHT -- THE FIGHT DOESNT
MEAN THAT YOU MOVE AWAY FROM
EACH OTHER.
EACH OTHER.
IT MEANS THAT YOU STAY IN THE
ROOM AND YOU WORK IT OUT, UNTIL
YOU COME BACK TO A PLACE OF
LOVE. I THINK THATS AN IMPORTANT
LESSON AND IMPORTANT METAPHOR
FOR A LOT OF THINGS THESE DAYS.
>> INCLUDING OUR COUNTRY.
I GOT YOU.
YOUVE BEEN IN "THE AMERICANS,"
WHICH IS A GREAT SHOW.
"STRANGER THINGS."
"STRANGER THINGS." YOU WERE A STAR OF "GARDENS OF
THE GALAXY II."
TASER FACE.
TASER FACE. YOU HAVE A PROSTHETIC ON.
ITS TOUGH TO KNOW ITS YOU.
>> A FACE ONLY A MOTHER CAN
LOVE.
LOVE.
>> YOU WEAR A PROSTHETIC IN "THIS IS US," TOO.THETIC IN
"THIS IS US," TOO. YOURE NOT AS HEAVY AS TOBY IS.
SOME PEOPLE ARE MAD ABOUT THAT.
YOU SAY YOU DONT GO ON THE
INTERNET.
INTERNET.
READ THE HATE.
>> DONT GO IN THERE. DONT GO IN THERE ALONE.
THERE IS -- THERES A LOT OF
THINGS TO BE OUTRAGED ABOUT
THESE DAYS.
THESE DAYS. AND I THINK THAT GETTING
OUTRAGED ABOUT AN ACTOR ON A
TELEVISION SHOW WHO MAY BE
WEARING A COSTUME, WHO MAKES HIM
LARGER THAN HE IS, MIGHT BE LOW
ON THE LIST.
AT LEAST IN MY OPINION.
NOW, IF I -- IF I AM NOT
PORTRAYING TOBY WITH A LEVEL OF
INTEGRITY OR WITH A LEVEL OF
HONESTY THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH,
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT
THAT.
THAT.
BUT I THINK IM -- I THINK THAT REGARDLESS OF THE COSTUMES THAT
I WEAR, THAT -- ESPECIALLY WITH
TOBY
TOBY
TOBY, TRY TO BRING AS MUCH HEART
AND HONESTY AS I CAN.
>> YOU DO SO WELL. VERY WELL.SO WELL.
VERY WELL.
GREAT TO SEE YOU, CHRIS. LOTS OF LOVE.YOU, CHRIS.
LOTS OF LOVE. YAY.
YAY.
