I'VE WANTED TO TALK TO MY FIRST GUEST FOR YEARS.
HE IS AN EMMY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR
YOU KNOW FROM "MAGNUM, P.I.," "THREE MEN AND A BABY," AND CBS'
OWN "BLUE BLOODS".
>> TV SCHEDULE FOR MONDAY WHICH IS ALSO YOUR BIRTHDAY.
>> WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE SCHEDULE.
>> THEY WILL WANT TO DO CAKE.
LET'S SAY 5:00.
>> WHO WANTS CAKE AT 5:00?
>> Stephen: LET'S DON'T DO THIS AGAIN.
I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR BIRTHDAY.
>> YET YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT.
>> Stephen: A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO GET YOU PRESENTS.
WHAT DO I TELL THEM?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT IN LIEU OF FLOWERS, CHARITIES.
>> ISN'T THAT FOR FUNERALS?
>> STEPHEN: PLEASE WELCOME THE ICONIC TOM SELLECK!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ♪
IT IS LOVELY TO FINALLY TALK TO YOU.
>> NICE TO TALK TO YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> Stephen: I HAVE WANTED TO INTERVIEW YOUR MUSTACHE FOR
YEARS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: AND THE MUSTACHE WAS AVAILABLE BUT YOU WEREN'T.
>> I KNOW.
>> Stephen: AND I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE A PACKAGE DEAL THESE
DAYS.
>> WELL, I GET EMBARRASSED SOMETIMES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
THEY PUT ICONIC TO M MY NAME OR SOMETHING, BUT HE GETS ICONIC
EVERYWHERE, MY MUSTACHE.
MY ICONIC MUSTACHE.
>> Stephen: IT PRE-SEEDS YOU INTO THE ROOM BY ABOUT 30
SECONDS.
>> YEAH, I DON'T LIKE TO TALK TO HIM BECAUSE HE'S GETTING FULL OF
HIMSELF.
HE HAS HIS OWN AGENT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE TO AGREE ON YOUR PROJECTS?
>> WE HAVE TO GET THE "BLUE BLOODS" SCRIPTS TWO WEEKS EARLY
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO PREPARE.
HE'S A MUSTACHE FOR GOD'S SAKES.
>> Stephen: I KNOW YOU HAVE NEVER EXPRESSED ANY DESIRE TO
RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.
>> NO.
>> Stephen: BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR MUSTACHE?
BECAUSE I'D VOTE FOR THAT THING, MAN.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRAIN THE
SWAMP, YOU COULD JUST SWEEP THE SWAMP OUT WITH THAT THING.
>> BY THE WAY, IS MUSINEX YOUR REAL SPONSOR?
>> Stephen: IT'S THE UNSEXY SPONSOR RIGHT THERE.
>> IT REALLY WORKS, BUT THE MASCOT, I WANT TO MEET THE
MASCOT, THE BIG PILE OF MUCUS.
>> Stephen: THE PILE OF PHLEGM?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IS HE HERE?
WE'LL GET THAT.
HE'S MY GUEST TOMORROW NIGHT, I THINK.
>> IT'S AMAZING, THOUGH, LITTLE PHLEGMY GUY.
>> Stephen: JUST TO GET BACK TO YOUR MUSTACHE FOR A SECOND.
>> OF COURSE.
>> Stephen: IF YOU SHAVED YOUR MUSTACHE, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
JUST ROB A BANK AND NO ONE WOULD IDENTIFY YOU?
>> NO, I -- >> Stephen: WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME YOU SAW YOUR UPPER LIP, SIR?
>> WELL, "BLUE BLOODS" HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVEN YEARS, SO NOT
LATELY.
BUT I WAS BORN WITH THAT.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: REALLY?
YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU DID A LOT OF COMMERCIAL WORK WHEN YOU WERE
YOUNGER AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE A COMMERCIAL.
>> OH, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU LOOK FANTASTIC, AND TURNS OUT YOU
SMELL EVEN BERT.
>> OH, GOOD.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT IT IS?
>> I DID A LOT OF HYGIENE PRODUCTS.
>> Stephen: THIS IS A HYGIENE PRODUCT.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE PRODUCT IS.
WE'LL FIND OUT IN A SECOND.
YOUNG TOM SELLECK WITHOUT A MUSTACHE.
>> SAFEGUARD CURRENT NEED HEAVY PER ASSUME TO MASK ODOR BECAUSE
IT'S SO EFFECTIVE OF REMOVING THE CAUSE OF PERSPIRATION ODOR.
>> GOOD MORNING.
HE SMELLS JUST THE WAY A MAN SHOULD SMELL.
CLEAN.
>> SAFEGUARD'S DEODORANT LATHER IS SO EFFECTIVE IT DOESN'T NEED
HEAVY PERFUME.
WITH SAFEGUARD, YOU DON'T GET THE HEAVY SMELL OF SOME
DEODORANT SOAPS, YOU GET NATURALLY CLEAN SMELLING SKIN.
( APPLAUSE ) >> IT'S A VERY INTERESTING
CONCEPT.
EVERYWHERE I WALK, THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE IN IT.
THAT WAS GREAT PENNY MARSHALL AND TERRI.
>> Stephen: YEAH, IN THE EARLY DAYS.
>> THE CONCEPT IS I'D WALK BY EVERYBODY AND THEY'D SMELL ME.
BUT I WAS PRETTY NEW AND THAT WAS A FLANNEL SUIT AND I WAS
PRETTY HOT AND SMELLY.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT I REALLY SMELLED LIKE.
AND I THINK I TOOK A SHOWER IN THAT.
>> Stephen: IN THE EARLY PART OF THE COMMERCIAL YOU WERE
TAKING A SHOWER.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: HOW MUCH OF YOUR EARLY WORK WAS YOU SHOWERING?
>> EVERYTHING YOU DID IN THOSE DAYS, I'M NOT SURE ANYMORE, WHEN
YOU SHOWERED, YOU HAD TO SHOWER ECSTATICALLY, YOU KNOW, JUST
CRAZCRAZILY.
>> Stephen: WHY?
TO BE EXCITED ABOUT THE THE LATHER?
>> I DON'T KNOW, THEY JUST HAD ME DO THAT.
IF YOU DID IT ECSTATICALLY ENOUGH YOU LOST A LOT OF SKIN.
ONE COMMERCIAL I DID WAS FOR SOME COLOGNE AND I HAD TO SLAP
ON COLOGNE ALL OVER MY BODY AND I HAD NO SKIN LEFT SO ANY
NIPPLES WERE PRETTY PAINFUL.
>> Stephen: I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS IMAGINED THE FIRST
TIME I INTERVIEWED YOU THAT YOU WOULD SAY MY NIPPLES WERE PRETTY
PAINFUL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU MIGHT BE THE FIRST ONE WHO'S EVER SAID THAT TO ME IN PUBLIC.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THE FIRST MAN EVER TO SAY THAT
ON CAMERA WITH ME.
>> IT'S A TOUGH WORLD OUT THERE.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA!
BUT I GOT BY.
I ALWAYS FELT THEN I WOULD RATHER DO A STUPID COMMERCIAL
THAN A STUPID ACTING JOB.
>> Stephen: LIKE A STUPID MOVIE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
>> YEAH, LIKE A STUPID MOVIE.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE STUPIDEST MOVIE YOU EVER DID?
>> I DID TWO REALLY STUPID MOVIES.
I DID DAUGHTERS OF SATAN.
>> Stephen: THAT SOUNDS LIKE A QUALITY FILM.
FAMILY DRAMA?
WHAT'S DAUGHTERS OF SATAN?
>> YOU ALWAYS THINK YOU CAN RISE ABOVE IT.
YOU GO, WELL, I KNOW IT'S A LOW-BUDGET MOVIE BUT I'LL DO
MORE WORK AND GET MORE JOBS, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF MY DEATH SCENE WHEN MY WIFE WHO WAS
REALLY A WITCH STABS ME IN THE BACK.
IT'S A LONG STORY.
>> Stephen: SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD ONE.
>> TERMINAL ISLAND WAS GOOD.
>> Stephen: GOOD?
HAD SEVEN BREASTS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAD AN ODD NUMBER OF BREASTS IN IT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU HAVE SEVEN BREASTS?
>> NO, I PLAYED -- THIS WAS BIG AND I WAS GOING TO RISE ABOVE.
NO, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT WAS OUTLAWED AND ALL KILLERS ARE
SENTENCED TO AN OFFSHORE ISLAND WHERE THEY DEVELOP THEIR OWN
SOCIETY AND I PLAYED DR. MILFORD, THE MERCY KILLER
WHO WAS HOOKED ON WILD MIMOSA AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR COCAINE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A CLASSIC TALE.
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
>> Stephen: WHERE DO THE SEVEN BREASTS COME IN?
>> I THINK SOMEBODY GOT THEIR BLOUSE RIPPED OPEN ONLY ON ONE
SIDE.
>> Stephen: SO YOU SAW SEVEN BREASTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE
FILM.
>> WELL -- >> Stephen: HOW DID YOU KNOW
THERE WERE SEVEN, WERE YOU COUNTING?
>> I'M ALWAYS COUNTING.
>> Stephen: VERY IMPORTANT.
IN THOSE DAYS SEEING A BREAST WAS A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
>> Stephen: STILL A PRETTY BIG DEAL TO ME.
( LAUGHTER ) WHEN "MAGNUM" WAS ON, IT WAS THE
MOST POPULAR TELEVISION SHOW IN THE WORLD.
DID YOU EVER WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED AND WEREN'T?
YOU PROBABLY GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AND PEOPLE GO, HEY,
MAGNUM!
>> IT'S A GOOD LESSON WHEN YOU'RE NOT.
I GOT RECOGNIZED A LOT WHEN I WAS IN HAWAII.
I BECAME THE DE FACTO HOST.
>> Stephen: IN HAWAII.
YEAH.
IF I GOT PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING, THE COP WOULD COME UP
AND GO, OH, I'M SORRY!
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS YOU, GO ON, PLEASE.
SO I WAS DOING OKAY.
BUT THE LESSONS YOU LEARN, GENE KIRKPATRICK, WHO WAS AMBASSADOR
OF THE UNITED NATIONS.
>> Stephen: UNDER REAGAN.
YEAH, SHE WAS A DEMOCRAT AND REAGAN HIRED HER AND SHE WAS
REALLY SMART AND I REALLY ADMIRED HER.
SHE'S AT THE HILTON DOWN THE ROAD, SO I'LL CALL HER.
I CALLED HER, AND SHE WAS VERY NICE.
SHE GOT ON THE PHONE AND SAID, YES?
I SAID, WELL, I'M TOM SELLECK, AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT
OUR SET, WE WOULD LIKE TO HOST YOU AND YOU CAN WATCH US FILM.
I KNOW YOU'RE ON A LAYOVER HERE AND MAYBE YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO
DO.
AND SHE SAID, I'M SORRY, I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU ARE.
( LAUGHTER ) SO MY BRUSH WITH GREATNESS WAS
CUT SHORT.
>> Stephen: OH, I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THAT.
DID YOU EVER -- >> BUT SHE WAS PRETTY SMART.
>> Stephen: OH, ABSOLUTELY.
NOW "BLUE BLOODS."
HOW MANY OF THESE HAVE YOU DONE?
HAVE YOU DONE MORE OF THESE OR MAGNUM P.I.?
>> WE'RE ON SEASON 7.
>> Stephen: SO THE CBS BRASS.
IF THE CBS BRASS IS LIST UPPING, WE'RE COMING UP ON 150
IN ABOUT FOUR SHOWS, I THINK.
SO THAT'S A LOT OF EPISODES.
BUT "MAGNUM," THE NUMBER WAS 163.
SO IF HE H RENEWS US AND I GET TO 164, THAT'S MY NEW RECORD.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: SO IF YOU GET TO
164 WITH "BLUE BLOODS," ARE YOU GOING TO JUST LIKE PEEL OFF THE
MUSTACHE AND WALK OFF INTO THE SUNSET?
>> YES.
WELL I DID THAT IN THE LAST EPISODE OF MAGNUM.
WHY NOT IN "BLUE BLOODS"?
>> Stephen: DID YOU REALLY?
YEAH, I WALKED OFF INTO THE SUNSET.
HE WALKED OFF WITH HIS DAUGHTER.
>> Stephen: WHEN I WAS 14 AND THAT THING WAS AT ITS PEAK, I
COULD NOT IMAGINE A GREATER GOAL OF MY MANHOOD THAN BEING TOM
SELLECK IN THE OPENING CREDITS TEACHING THAT WOMAN TO SWIM IN
THE POOL AND DRIVING A FERRARI.
>> THAT WAS SHIRLEY ROGERS.
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW WHO CHERYLY ROGERS WAS.
>> SHIRLEY ROGERS WAS A BABE.
SHE WORKED A SCENE IN THE SHOW AND I KNEW THE CAMERA CREW
PRETTY WELL AND SHIRLEY WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SHE HAD BODY PARTS
THAT YOU WAND TO STARE AT, SO I AM HOLDING HER, TEACHING HER HOW
TO SCUBA DIVE AND SHE'S GOT HER MASK AND SNORKEL IN AND I DID AN
ASIDE TO THE CREW -- I WENT, OH, MY GOD -- AND THEY PUT IT IN THE
SHOW.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WELL, IT WAS
LOVELY TO MEET YOU AND YOUR MUSTACHE.
EITHER ONE OF YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME BACK ANYTIME, PLEASE.
>> HE'S VERY GLAD TO BE HERE AND I'M ECSTATIC.
>> Stephen: WELL, TOM, AN HONOR.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
"BLUE BLOODS" AIRS FRIDAYS AT 9:00 CENTRAL, 10:00 EAST COAST,
CBS, TOM SELLECK, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE BACK WITH CRAIG ROBINSON, STICK AROUND!
