MY NEXT GUEST HAS STARRED IN "HOT TUB TIME MACHINE,"
"PINEAPPLE EXPRESS," AND OF COURSE "THE OFFICE." PLEASE
WELCOME CRAIG ROBINSON!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ♪
>> YEAH!
>> Stephen: DO YOU KNOW THESE GUYS?
>> I KNOW LOUIS OVER THERE.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU GUYS KNOW EACH OTHER?
>> I HOST A SHOW IN LOS ANGELES CALLED THE BLACK MOVIE SOUND
TRACK.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS THE BLACK MOVIE SOUND TRACK.
>> THEY SHOW THESE BLACK MUSIC IN MOVIES, WHETHER IT'S BEEN
SOUND TRACKS OR BLACK ARTISTS, AND THEN WE HAVE PERFORMANCES
FROM, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL ARTISTS.
LIKE THIS YEAR WE HAD -- LAST YEAR WE HAD GLADYS KNIGHT, EARTH
WIND AND FIRE, BABY FACE.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BAND CALLED NASTY DELICIOUS.
>> NASTY DELICIOUS.
>> Stephen: IT'S KIND OF UNFAIR FOR YOU TO BE AS FUNNY AS
YOU ARE AND ALSO HAVE A BAND.
SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE TO PICK BETWEEN ONE OF THE TWO?
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
IN FACT, I'VE MARRIED THE TWO, SO WHEN I DO MY ACT, IT'S MUSIC
AND JOKES.
>> Stephen: YOU JUST TOOK NASTY DELICIOUS TO AUSTRALIA.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: HERE YOU ARE, GETTING YOUR KOALA ON RIGHT
THERE.
THAT'S NICE.
>> YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CUDDLED -- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A CUDDLE IS
TILL YOU CUDDLE A KOALA BEAR.
PEOPLE THINK THEY'RE HIGH ALL THE TIME BUT THEY'RE NOT.
THEY EAT EUCALYPTUS AND GET SUGAR FROM IT AND JUST ENOUGH
SUGAR TO GO TO SLEEP AND GET UP AND EAT MORE EUCALYPTUS.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
I THINK I'M A KOALA BEAR IN ANOTHER LIFE.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?
ARE YOU A BIG SNAKE FAN?
WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?
>> SNAKES GET A BAD RAP, TOO.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN CUDDLED TILL YOU HAVE BEEN
CUDDLED BY AN ANACONDA.
ANACONDA.
IF YOU TOLD ME I WOULD GO TO AUSTRALIA AND TOUCH A SNAKE, I
WOULD GO, NO, NEVER.
BUT THAT WAS AMAZING.
THEY FEEL AMAZING.
THEN THEY SHOWED YOU HOW TO HOLD IT AND STUFF AND IT WAS AWESOME.
>> Stephen: WHAT KIND OF SNAKE IS THIS?
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF SNAKE IT IS BUT MY FEAR OF
SNAKES IS GONE.
>> Stephen: EVERYTHING IN AUSTRALIA WANTS TO KILL YOU IS
WHAT I'VE HEARD.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THIS THING COULD WRAP AROUND YOUR NECK AND
SQUEEZE AND YOU WOULD BE GONE.
>> IT'S NOT WHAT YOU HEARD.
THAT'S PROOF.
IT'S ALL GOOD.
>> Stephen: YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN EATING SOME
EUCALYPTUS.
( LAUGHTER ) YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE GOTTEN JUST
ENOUGH SUGAR.
( LAUGHTER ) YOU HAVE A NEW SHOW.
IT'S CALLED.
>> KARAOKE SHOWDOWN.
>> Stephen: EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THAT IS NOT CAR POOL KARAOKE?
>> I LOVE JAMES CORDEN, BEEN ON THE SHOW, HE IS AMAZING AND
AWESOME.
SO THE SHORT ANSWER IS THAT MIXED WITH LIKE CASH CAB.
>> Stephen: I LOVE CASH CAB.
RIGHT.
>> Stephen: YOU JUST PICK PEOPLE UP AND THEY HAVE TO SING?
>> IT'S A GAME SHOW IN A CAR.
THESE ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL SINGERS SO THERE IS A LOT OF EAR
PAIN GOING ON.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE THE DRIVER?
YES, I'M DRIVING THE CAR, HOSTING THE SHOW, AND I'M
GETTING STUFF IN MY EAR, I'M DRUNK, ALL KIND OF STUFF.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU HAD ANY ACCIDENTS?
>> WELL, I MISSED A FEW TURNS.
THERE'S A LEAD AND FOLLOW VAN, AND SOMETIMES I'LL GET ALL INTO
IT WITH THE CONTESTANTS AND WE HAVE A GOOD TIME AND I MISSED A
FEW TURNS, BUT NO ACCIDENTS.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVEN'T HIT ANYBODY?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MAKE THEM DO FOR THE CASH?
>> THERE ARE SEVERAL -- I MEAN, A LOT OF DIFFERENT GAMES, BUT,
LIKE, ONE WOULD BE, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU START SINGING WITH
MARSHMALLOWS IN YOUR MOUTH AND YOUR PARTNER HAS TO GUESS THE
SONG AND EVERY SONG THEY GET RIGHT, MORE MONEY AND MORE
MARSHMALLOWS.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A CHOKING HAZARD.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND IT'S DANGEROUS.
HAS ANYONE DIED DURING YOUR SHOW?
>> IT'S DANGEROUS AND NASTY BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
>> Stephen: YOU'RE A FORMER MUSIC TEACHER, TOO.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: HOW OLD WERE THE KIDS YOU'RE TEACHING?
>> I TAUGHT K-8 MUSIC IN CHICAGO.
>> Stephen: WOW ( APPLAUSE )

EGGERS AND FRANKLIN ELEMENTARY.
HAMMOND, INDIANA.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE AGE TO TEACH?
>> RIGHT THERE IN SECOND, THIRD GREAT.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A GREAT AGE, YEAH.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF SECOND GRADERS IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT.
WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THE SECOND GRADE?
>> IT'S RIGHT BEFORE THEY TURN EVIL.
>> Stephen: SECOND GRADE IS LIKE SEVEN YEARS OLD.
>> THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE, SOMETHING HAPPENS RIGHT THERE --
>> Stephen: IT'S CALLED PUBERTY.
>> EIGHTH GRADE IS COOL BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GRADUATE.
>> Stephen: THEY CALM DOWN AGAIN?
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: WHAT WOULD YOU TEACH THEM?
>> I TAUGHT SOME CHORUS, SINGING, PIANOS, LITTLE
RECORDERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
>> Stephen: I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD SAY THAT.
THIS WOULD BE FOR YOU.
I'VE GOT TWO RECORDERS HERE BECAUSE WHEN I HEARD THAT YOU
TAUGHT, I KNOW THE FIRST THING YOU ALWAYS TEACH KIDS IS
RECORDERS, SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF RECORDERS BACK HERE.
>> IT'S BEEN A WHILE FOR ME, TOO.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU TEACH PE?
I CAN PLAY ONE THING ON THE RECORDER.
