♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: my thanks to demi moore, eve hewson, colin jost, michael che, st. vincent, once again! [ cheers and applause ] and the roots, right there, from philadelphia, pennsylvania. thank you for watching. stay tuned for "late night with seth meyers." good night, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] ♪

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> announcer: from 30 rockefeller plaza in new york, it's "late night with seth meyers." tonight -- colin farrell, star of "emily in paris," actress ashley park, an all new "closer look." ♪ ♪ [ cheers and applause ] and now, seth meyers. >> seth: good evening. i'm seth meyers. this is "late night." we hope you're doing well. and now if you don't mind, we're going to get to the news. at a trump campaign rally last night, arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders said that her kids keep her humble and added, quote, "unfortunately, kamala harris doesn't have anything to keep her humble." though i'm not sure the math checks out there, because doesn't trump have like five? [ light laughter ] according to a new poll, vice president kamala harris has a six-point lead over former president trump following last weeks debate, and if you think that's a big -- [ cheers and applause ] and if you think that's a big lead, then you just don't follow

new york football. [ laughter ] in a new interview, vice president kamala harris said she's very grateful and honored to have taylor swift's endorsement. well, i'm sure trump has gotten some big-name musicians to endorse him. oh, no! [ light laughter ] barack obama and hillary clinton are set to host separate fundraisers on friday for vice president kamala harris, with obama's event in the evening and clinton's in the afternoon. and in an attempt to win harris the senior vote, joe biden will host an event at 5:00 in the morning. [ laughter ] "folks, folks, here's the deal, i've been up since 3:30. i got up to pee, i never went back." [ light laughter ] former president trump held a rally today on long island at the nassau coliseum, and just like every stadium show held on long island, he ended with "piano man." that's just the law out there. house speaker mike johnson yesterday criticized vice president kamala harris' economic plan, and said it includes centralized price

controls, new government spending programs and car giveaways, adding, quote, "it's like oprah is running for president." are you trying to win this for her? [ light laughter ] "her ideas are like oprah, her personality is that of tom hanks, and no offense, her singing voice is barely as good as adele's." [ light laughter ] in a new interview, dolly parton said that taylor swift has been a great inspiration and added quote, "lord knows, we need some uplifting people and things." man, if trump responds by tweeting, "i hate dolly parton," he'll finish third behind jill stein. [ light laughter ] the food storage company tupperware brands filed yesterday for bankruptcy because they wouldn't take my idea. [ laughter and applause ] authorities in new york are looking for two people who allegedly got onto an empty subway train at a station in queens, took it for a joy ride, amd then crashed it. police say this may be the first ever case of someone experiencing joy on the subway.

[ laughter ] finally, taco bell announced yesterday that it successfully lobbied to have national taco day moved from october 4th to the first tuesday in october. it's the first time a corporation has managed to change the calendar since target moved christmas to september. [ laughter ] and that was the monologue everybody. [ cheers and applause ] we are off and running. got a great show for you tonight, really special. he is -- you know what, i'm just going to say it. he's my favorite actor. you know him from "in bruges," "the banshees of inisherin," "the lobster," and "the batman." he returns as "the penguin," which premieres tomorrow on hbo and max. colin farrell is here, everybody! [ cheers and applause ] she is a tony and grammy-nominated actress who you know from "beef," "girls5eva," and "only murders in the building." she's currently starring in "emily in paris," whose fourth season is streaming now on netflix. ashley park is on the show, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] so excited to have her here. before we get to all that, donald trump was asked at a town hall on tuesday how he would

save manufacturing jobs and bring down grocery prices, and he gave a series of incoherent answers that made clear he has no idea and doesn't care. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> seth: the further trump falls in the polls, the further he sinks into conspiracy theories. and if the trend continues, he's really going to lose his [ bleep ] when he sees the latest polling in pennsylvania. >> new poll numbers show vice president kamala harris is leading in the battleground state of pennsylvania. the "usa today" and suffolk university polls show harris leading former president donald trump 49-46%. >> we've mentioned the numbers from quinnipiac, the idea that harris is leading trump in pennsylvania and michigan. but here are the exact figures. harris, 51 in pennsylvania to trump's 45. >> seth: oh, my god, trump's behind in pennsylvania. can you imagine what he's going to blurt out at his next rally? "gritty is a communist. [ light laughter ] he's a -- everybody knows it! look at his eyes! he's a meth addict and a communist, and many people are telling me, it's so true." [ light laughter ]

now, we all know the caveats here. these are just isolated polls, and polls are just snapshots, and they can easily change, but try telling that to donald trump, a man with so much rage and so little impulse control, he scream-tweeted "i hate taylor swift" in all caps like his older sister was blasting "midnights" through his bedroom wall. [ laughter ] "turn that down, kayleigh, i'm trying to play 'minecraft,' and i do not care to hear about the dating mishaps of your beloved tay tay!" [ laughter ] of course nothing will ever trigger trump as much as kamala harris saying people leave his rallies because they're boring. that's the comment that infamously set him off at the debate. and he brought it up again out of nowhere at a town hall last night. >> so we do these rallies, they're massive rallies, everybody loves -- everybody stays till the end, by the way. you know -- [ light laughter ] when she said that -- "well, your rallies, people leave." honestly, nobody does, and if i saw them leaving, i'd say, "and ladies and gentlemen, make america great again, now get the hell out." okay? because i don't want people leaving. >> seth: that's right, people don't leave his rallies, a

soaring message that was, unfortunately, lost on the people who left that exact rally. [ laughter ] trump's so insane, he's getting fact-checked by his own supporters in real time. next time he says hannibal lecter is a wonderful man, they're going to cut to hannibal lecter in the crowd holding up a sign that says "actually, i'm a bad guy." [ laughter ] every time his political fortunes take a turn for the worse, trump sinks deeper into rage and conspiracy theories. and he surrounds himself with weirdo cultists who make him feel better. like laura loomer, a right-wing internet troll who, among other insane things, once promoted a video that said 9/11 was an inside job. even republicans like lindsey graham and marjorie taylor greene were mad at trump for spending time with loomer. in fact, trump even brought loomer to a 9/11 remembrance ceremony. that's like bringing someone who thinks the moon landing was faked to cape canaveral. "next stop on the tour is the u.s. astronaut hall of fame." "when are you going to show us the green screen?" "the what?" "the green screen, where you faked it all." [ light laughter ] you can just feel the desperation radiating off trump. at a rally over the weekend, he insisted kamala harris must have

had an earpiece feeding her answers at the debate. >> she can't talk! she can't talk! [ booing ] she can't talk without maybe getting the answers. what's the story with that? [ cheers ] did she get the questions? you think? so i hear she got the questions, and i also heard she had something in the ear, a little something in the ear. "no, kamala, do this. say it this way, kamala. okay, be quiet, too many people watching." >> seth: for what it's worth, if harris did have people in her ear screaming, "no, kamala, do this, say it this way, kamala, okay, be quiet, too many people watching," and still managed to kick your ass, i wouldn't be telling us about it. [ laughter ] if anything, watching that debate -- [ cheers and applause ] if anything, watching that debate, i'd believe you were wearing an earpiece that was just playing this on a loop. ♪ ♪ who let the dogs out who who who who who ♪ >> seth: in trump's mind, the

only way anyone could ever coherently answer questions about policy on the fly is if they're getting fed the answers in real time. that says a lot more about you than it does about her. "the clarity of her answers was very suspicious to me, because let me tell you, if they asked me those questions, i would have no [ bleep ] idea what to say. i wouldn't. [ laughter ] i wouldn't even know where to start. i mean, you saw me at the debate right? i mean, look at my eyes. i am just gone. [ laughter ] there is nothing the -- i look like a goldfish when you don't clean the bowl for a week." [ laughter ] but that's the maga movement's whole thing -- projection. they insist, without any hint of self-awareness, that harris is the one who can't answer questions about policy. >> she may not be capable of uttering a clear, coherent policy position. but whatever the reason, the more we get these word salads, the more obvious it is that she either doesn't know what she's saying, or she can't articulate it, or she's trying to hide. if you just watch her, it's the

same stuff over and over, the things she's memorized, has nothing to do with the real world. >> seth: that's newt gingrich, who you may remember from that time he played the moon in a silent film. [ laughter ] now it would be easy for me to dunk on newt here by listing off all the deranged and incoherent things donald trump has said over the years, but we don't have enough time. well, actually i did have the time, it was the last ten years. i've been doing that for ten years. and that is time i will never get back. but if i tried to list every demented thing donald trump has ever said right now, i would still be here when the "today" show starts. they'd have to put me in a little box in the corner of the screen. so -- [ laughter ] here's just a quick montage of some of my favorite trump policy answers, because, you know, why not? >> their windmills are causing whales to die in numbers never seen before. the windmills are driving 'em crazy. they're driving -- they're driving the whales, i think a little batty. the late, great hannibal lecter is a wonderful man. sinks! toilets! and showers!

do i stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do i jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? this is tic tac. this is tic tac. they're eating the dogs. the great pavarotti, the singer, when -- you know, he's a very -- he was a diva. he was the greatest of all divas, the greatest, right? pavarotti! but he was a d -- he liked me, for whatever reason. he was very terrible to other people, to me he was nice, he liked me. >> seth: that's a nice way to pay a guy back for being nice to you. "pavarotti! always nice to me, which is notable because he was a flaming hot ass[ bleep ]. just -- just a piece of [ bleep ] to other people. and yet, to me, a gentleman." in fairness to trump, recent polls have found that the top three policy concerns among voters are, "how many times do you flush a toilet?" "what do tic tacs look like?" and "was pavarotti a nice guy?" [ light laughter ] so maga wants you to believe that kamala harris is the one who can't talk coherently about policy. trump, on the other hand, is a policy expert. here he is last night being asked a simple question by a supporter at a town hall -- how

will he protect manufacturing jobs? now, there's all kinds of issues he could discuss here. outsourcing, competition from overseas, predatory companies using union-busting tactics to exploit workers. let's hear what donald trump thinks is the number one threat to manufacturing jobs. >> my question to you, sir, is what do you see as the major threats to the future of michigan manufacturing, auto-working jobs, and what will you do to eliminate those threats, sir? >> okay, i'll get into another little bit of a long answer because when you say "major threat," to me, we have one really major threat, that's called nuclear weapons. >> seth: what are you talking about? the number one threat to manufacturing jobs is nuclear weapons? okay. in that case, the number one threat to the new york giants is nuclear weapons. [ laughter ] oh, sure, it's easy to blame roster construction and play calling, but they drop a nuke on metlife, the season is over! [ laughter ]

i think what happened here is trump wasn't paying attention to the question because he doesn't care, and the only word he heard was "threats." when trump takes a question from a voter, this is how it actually sounds in his brain. [ charlie brown's teacher "speaking" ] [ laughter ] >> major threats. [ charlie brown's teacher "speaking" ] [ sound distorting ] >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. ♪ who let the dogs out ♪ [ laughter and applause ] >> seth: but it's not like -- yeah. [ cheers and applause ] but it's not like trump just happened to mention nuclear weapons, then switched back to the main topic. he kept going. again, this question was about manufacturing jobs. >> to me, we have one really major threat, that's called nuclear weapons. we call -- we have other countries that are hostile to us. they don't have to be hostile to us. i always say if you have a smart president, you'll never have a problem with china, russia, or any of them, okay? i got along great with putin. i got along great with president xi.

i got along great with kim jong-un of north korea. everybody said, "oh, you can't get along with him." he liked me, i got along great with him, and he has a lot of nuclear force. >> seth: "kim jong-un. he's a bad guy who's nice to me. a real korean pavarotti." [ laughter ] the same thing happened with grocery prices, arguably the most important issue of the campaign, the one trump constantly pretends to care about. it's fair to say that inflation has been a major concern for voters over the last four years, and it's also fair to ask how you would address that concern. he should have an answer for this. this should be a slam dunk. instead, here's the word vomit he belched up. now, this clip is long, but we're going to try to play as much of it as we can. and while i wait for trump to finally get to a real answer, i'm going to try, for the first time in my life -- wish me luck -- to teach myself how to solve a rubik's cube. [ laughter ] >> my name is barbara. i'm a mom of three, a grandmother of seven, and three great-grands. [ cheers ]

a registered nurse, retired. retired nurse. so i know the cost that goes into raising children and running a household. >> yeah. >> people just can't survive now. how are you going to bring down the cost of food and groceries? [ applause ] >> good, very good, thank you. so we have to start always with energy. always -- i don't want to be boring about it, but there's no bigger subject. it covers everything. if you make donuts, if you make cars, whatever you make, energy is a big deal. you'll see, they'll do the rate cut and all the political stuff tomorrow i think. and, you know, will he do a half a point, will he do a quarter of a point? and you know, one of the reasons is we allow a a lot of farm product into our country. [ cheers ] and i don't know if you remember. i love the farmers, because you know, i had many meetings as president, i had this gorgeous room with this beautiful table

that seats about 35 people. i said, "look, fellows, we're going to get you such a beautiful subsidy." everybody wants -- they want money, one, they want to build windmills, we want money for the windmills. ay-yai-yai. i said nobody's ever said that. and i have many industries and many groups of people from different things. you know, they do all different things. it's probably the most dramatic i've ever seen. he didn't want anything, all he wanted was to be able to compete fairly. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: i also had time to whittle one out of wood. [ laughter ] seriously, what are you talking about? we'd get a more coherent answer if we took a bunch of scrabble letters, dumped them in a bingo cage, picked them out at random, translated them from english to french and french to german, then back to english, then recorded them on a vhs and played the tape backwards. i'm honestly in awe of the fact that he can talk that long without making any sense whatsoever.

i can't even pretend to be him for that long. here, i'll try. "look, it's very simple, grocery prices are going up due in large part to the massive disruptions to the supply chain caused by covid and the predatory practices of large corporations." oh, wait, sorry, that's the real answer. uh, let me try again. [ laughter ] "grocery prices because of energy causing windmills to attack toilets, flushing sharks down into the water next to the boats that have whales eating tic tacs with nuclear --" aghh [ bleep ], i can't do it. [ cheers and applause ] you guys, the reality is simple. trump has no plan to save manufacturing jobs or lower food prices, and he doesn't care about manufacturing jobs, and he doesn't care about food prices. from now on, when he answers these questions, he might as well just say -- ♪ who let the ♪ >> dogs. ♪ out ♪ >> seth: this has been "a closer look." [ cheers and applause ] ♪ we'll be right back with colin farrell, everybody! ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> announcer: for more of seth's "closer looks," be sure to subscribe to "late night" on youtube.

[ light laughter ] >> seth: yeah, right. >> i don't know. >> seth: i have a question, though. i mean, i'm assuming -- you know, you're well known here, i would imagine you're a big deal in dublin. do you feel like -- are they going to notice you? >> well, i'm running with a friend. so, my friend's name is emma fogarty and she has a condition called epidermolysis bullosa. i don't know if any of you know about it.

it's a skin condition which she was born with. she literally, 80% of her body is an open wound. she's a legend. she shouldn't have lived to the age she is now, she's 40 years of age. i'm going to push her the last 4k. >> seth: oh, fantastic. >> no, yeah. she's magic, this one. >> seth: that's great. >> and i've known her for 16 years. so, she's my excuse to slow down for the last two and a half miles. [ laughter ] if i could just get to emma, 'cause as she knows, she said to me, we can't be running over speed ramps on the streets of dublin with her skin, that'll kill her. >> seth: oh, that's right. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> seth: this is a great cause -- >> and then we have to be careful about having people around, because literally, nobody can knock into her. so we're gonna have some support runners. >> seth: okay, great. >> we're gonna have some support runners there. >> seth: this is fantastic. for a great cause, you're a great friend, and she's a great excuse. [ laughter ] >> yes, one and three, 100%. two, questionable, but we'll go with it. >> seth: really exciting. i remember the first one i ran -- >> why don't you come and do it? wait a second. hold on a sec. >> seth: no, i said -- you're not making it sound fun. >> it's on the 27th, what's your nights off? are you weekends -- [ talking over each other ]

[ laughter ] when was the last one you did? >> seth: stockholm was the one i couldn't finish. >> and then so, you're due doing a full one. are you going to do one again? >> seth: i don't know. i'm getting older, it's harder and harder. >> in new york -- that'd be hard for you to do here. >> seth: yeah, i don't know. i don't like the idea -- i did like doing it somewhere where i'd be a little anonymous. >> the prep is the thing, isn't it? >> seth: but i like the prep, because i liked aiming toward it. and then the day of, like, that's the one day you just can't bail out of it, you know. you know you have to finish. >> you get anxious at the start, don't you? >> seth: yeah, i get so anxious. >> great fun, i loved it. [ light laughter ] >> seth: i will say, does this happen to you where you pass a lot of older fellows, and then they pass you in the back half? >> and then they get you back? yeah, yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: 'cause they're running the mile -- they're running the exact same mile every time and they're like, "oh, slowing down?" [ laughter ] >> that reminds me, i was in tibet once, i was lucky enough to get to go to tibet with a friend years ago, 15 or 16 years ago. and we were going up to visit a

monastery, as you do in tibet, there's not that much else to do. it's a magic, magic place, but full of monasteries of course and very devout people, peace-loving people. and we were going up a hill, and there was an old woman with a cane, she must have been anywhere between 95 and 120. [ laughter ] and myself and anty, my friend who's from new york, and we walked up the hill past her. i was like, "god, did you see her face? wasn't she beautiful? she was so weathered, her cheekbones were like rosy red apples." and we walked past her. and then the two of us, because it was that altitude, about ten minutes later we were sitting on a rock, and then passed us. [ laughter ] on she went. >> seth: it's the best. >> yeah, it was awesome. [ laughter and applause ] it's the same thing, same thing. >> seth: you've got a fantastic new show. was it fun to come back and play oz again? play the penguin? >> yeah, it was loads of fun. yeah, i loved it. got to do it, you know, matt reeves, who wrote the script for "the batman" film and directed that film, he gave me five or six great scenes in that and they were fun. but there was such an extraordinary amount of work

that went in to creating the character, with the body suit and the wardrobe, and obviously the makeup was such a significant part of it that i just, yeah. it felt like it was a bit of a waste almost, of all this brilliant stuff that was going on. >> seth: yeah. >> so, to get eight hours on hbo and get into character -- >> seth: and then when did, how far -- like, was matt talking to you during the movie about like, "we should do a series"? >> no, not at all, he had bigger fish to fry. absolutely. pardon the pun. but he -- [ light laughter ] >> seth: missed it and i'm glad you said, "pardon the pun." you know what, i liked the pun. >> i do love a pun as well. dad jokes. but yeah, matt, no, he was doing -- he had so much going on, creating that world and bringing that film to life in the extraordinarily beautiful way that he did. it was about week five, or six, or seven i think i went up to dylan clark the producer, and i said, "could we do a show at some stage with this?" and then i totally forgot about it. and they had the idea again a year and a half later and talked to hbo and it was a go. lauren lefranc wrote the script. extraordinary job. >> seth: it's wonderful. >> she wrote 500 pages, with a

great room of writers, she wrote 500 pages of bringing this world to life. which is kind of a parallel world to the gotham that we see in "the batman" film, it's really down in the gutter. >> seth: it's really down in the gutter, but there are some differences as well that i really enjoyed, and i want to talk about them in a second. we'll be right back with more colin after this.

[ cheers and applause ] a wonderful first episode wonderful. cristin milioti there. >> amazing. >> seth: and it's really -- cristin i know, a lovely person. she shows up here -- >> terrifying. >> seth: more scary than the penguin. >> yeah, terrifying. and it's fun to watch you be afraid of her. >> iron fist in a somewhat velvet glove. do you know what i mean? at the start. then we get into her backstory. episode four is majority her story and we get to see what happened to her, no spoiler alerts, when she was sent away to arkham, and what she had to go through.

and the characters as designed by lauren, really -- there's not an attempt to justify the behaviors, but as is the case with all good drama, there's an opportunity to try to understand why the characters are the way they are. and cristin was terrifying. she was fantastic. >> seth: she's a fantastic actor. i will say -- i thought the script was fantastic as well because you know, oswald cobblepot is not a likeable person. but you -- >> speak for yourself. [ talking over each other ] yeah, yeah, yeah, no totally. >> seth: you play him so needy, he needs connection. he wants to be someone whose loved. >> don't want to call him pathetic, but yeah. he's a very very pathetic, no he's very -- >> seth: you find yourself -- you know, an again i should say, i'm not giving much away, but you know, he does terrible things in the first episode but you do find yourself rooting for him. >> yeah. >> seth: like, when you approach it, is that something you're trying to do? >> i'm not trying to elicit sympathy, honest to god. like, really. if sympathy is elicited, then that's -- lauren did a great job

and i'm doing all right and the makeup is doing what it should do. because he's a very multifaceted character. and there is a kind of a sense -- there is a sense of sorrow to him and a sense of loneliness. he has been treated cruelly by the world. i think he wears all that and it's very apparent. by the end of the eight hours, i don't think anyone will feel pity for him. [ light laughter ] >> seth: okay. >> i really don't. it's kind of a dark descent into psychopathy. >> seth: there is also, i should say, which i was also happy to experience, there's some comedy in it. it seems like a fun -- i mean it seems like you're having fun. >> i was -- i had a blast. had a blast. >> seth: which it also does not seem like it would be fun to be in all that stuff. >> it was fun -- the process is three hours in the morning and about 45 minutes to get out of the makeup. but i loved the makeup team that we had. val, bobby, stella, crystal and the two mikes. it was amazing. we had our penguin trailer. we go in in the morning, have coffee, have a shave, sit in the chair, start the clock. in three hours we'd shoot the breeze, play music, i'd look at

me script and get read for the day ahead. so that three hours was kind of meditative in a way. and then, by -- >> seth: by the way, i wish because my kids are young, i wish i needed to sit still for three hours a day. >> yeah, no absolutely. >> seth: i wish i could say to them, "help us, we can't find the legos" and i'm like, "i'm getting into the penguin makeup." [ laughter ] >> totally, yes i'm having coffee and listening to '80s music with my friends, the makeup crew -- the makeup misfits. >> seth: but is it true that you pitched slender penguin before you took it -- >> i did. yeah. slender penguin, hilarious. [ laughter ] ridiculous idea. that's what matt thought as well. i met matt reeves to talk about, when i heard he wanted to talk about the penguin -- or me doing the penguin. i was just giddy. i mean i really was. because as i said to somebody at the -- we had the premiere last night and somebody asked me a question about it and they asked me if i liked it or if i was happy with it. and i said, i don't know what it means, like it's a fair question, but i wouldn't know how to be happy about any of it. but i'm really grateful that i'm in the thing because i realize i was a 7-year-old child sitting on the carpet watching --

♪ burgess meredith -- [ light laughter ] and danny devito's -- >> seth: fantastic. >> fantastic. and i have yet to see robin lord taylor, who i believe is brilliant in "gotham." >> seth: he's great. >> i can't wait. i hear it from everyone he's brilliant. i'm really going to enjoy that now that we've done this. but yeah, so just coming at it from a fan standpoint, it's incredible really to be part of that lineage. >> seth: it is very dark. did you find you had to do things to get out of the dark place when you were sort of finished with it? >> i sauna a lot as a general rule in life and i have done for years. ever since actually the first time i got into the habit of going to the bath house was tenth street here, as the case for many people. and ever since that, which was what, 20 years ago when i got clean. yeah saunas are a huge thing for me, physically and just me noggin as well. >> seth: yeah. >> and run. yeah, and that was it. but the days where -- you know by the end of it, i do remember reading about jim carrey having a bit of a tricky time on "the grinch."

and maybe not loving the whole makeup and suit and grinch thing by the end. >> seth: at some point, there's not enough '80s music to get you out of it. [ talking over each other ] >> thinking of a support group for people buried under mounds of prosthetics. yeah. >> seth: we do appreciate your sacrifice, because it is a great product. >> it was a blast man. >> seth: and more importantly, good luck in a month in dublin. >> thanks, brother. >> seth: very excited for you and your friend. emma, was it? >> emma. >> seth: emma, best of luck to you both. >> thanks emily. >> seth: thank you so much colin farrell, everybody!

>> seth: when you were, like, a kid? >> yeah, or until i was like a senior in high school. >> seth: okay. for some reason in my mind broadway was a building, like, it wasn't like a district. >> seth: you thought it was like, a building with a bunch of different theaters in it? >> no, i thought it was like people took turns doing shows, i don't know. [ laughter ] like in one building. i didn't really think about it. >> seth: it's really funny, 'cause i feel like a lot of actors who make it to broadway are people who dream of it the whole time, right? >> yeah. >> seth: and i would imagine by senior in high school you were dreaming of doing -- >> absolutely. >> seth: it's funny that your dream was so just off.

[ laughter ] >> so like, you know, like 50th street.

and so i didn't know it was a land mass. like, in my mind. >> seth: yeah, and it would be like, maybe like the eighth biggest city in america? >> really? >> seth: i think brooklyn would be really -- yeah, brooklyn's massive. yeah. >> oh. [ laughter ] >> seth: what i like is how -- you just learned a little bit about it and just stopped again.

[ laughter ] i thought it was like a little neighborhood. i know things now, guys. [ laughter ] >> seth: this -- really what this has all been is like a terrible reflection on the school you went to. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: but wait i'm going to give you a chance to save it, because i've heard you have a special skill which seems very out of line in everything we've learned about you so far. that broadway is a building and brooklyn is a subway stop. >> you know what, geography, i'll give it -- geography is not my thing. >> seth: if you were on

"celebrity jeopardy!" and one of the categories was geography, would you just leave?

[ light laughter ] she's on her like 200th digit of

pi." >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> seth: but why did you learn it? [ laughter ] >> oh, my gosh. [ light laughter ] in high school there was a competition in my math class, to whoever could memorize the most digits of pi got a pizza hut personal pizza. [ laughter ] >> seth: okay. >> i don't -- did you guys -- did you, like when you were kids, when they check off like the reading list, they get like a pie. >> seth: of course. >> for us, in ann arbor, michigan, it was the pizza hut personal pizza was like ah! >> seth: i mean a huge deal. >> and i only got second place. [ laughter ] but my teacher felt bad, so she also gave me a personal pizza for pi. >> seth: and now, again i don't want to keep putting you on the spot, but is it true just today it dawned on you why it was pizza. >> yeah, your pre-interview for this, your producer was like, "oh, my gosh, that's so funny, like a pizza pie for pi day." and i was like -- [ laughter ] "oh, my gosh."

i was like, it blew my mind. [ laughter and applause ] >> seth: i just feel like -- can i say something genuine? i just feel like it must be so much fun to hang out with you. i feel like every day must be full of surprises. [ laughter ] every day is just like, you must be like, "oh, my god, you guys. " >> honestly, for me, too. >> seth: yeah, but you seem like -- i'm very jealous of all this. >> yes. >> seth: i'm not jealous of this. because i thought i would be. this is the most glamorous show, right? >> yes. >> seth: and i think people, rightly so, drawn to how fantastic you look. this is, you just look fantastic. [ talking over each other ] your wardrobe department obviously -- >> incredible. >> seth: but it's less glamorous than it seems. >> yes, this is my first week back shooting. we're -- this is the dead of winter in paris. and we're like "ooh, look at us in our boots and out little short skirts. look how cute we are." and then now that people know where -- >> seth: this is -- that is like, you look so cold. [ laughter ] that face. so this is the way less glamorous.

like, how quickly are they wrapping you up? when they -- >> it's like, quick. i mean, this one, i was like, "guys, come on." the paparazzi came, and i was like look how -- i'm literally blowing out -- [ light laughter ] and this. yeah. >> seth: we saw -- the clip we showed, your character mindy is a singer, a songwriter. that's the first, we've seen you do a lot of covers over the first four seasons, but this was you singing a song that your character had written. >> yeah. >> seth: and it's a really beautiful song. who actually wrote the song? >> freddy wexler. he wrote the other original song, a couple seasons back, "mon soleil." and this, the song you heard, it's a portion of the full song, and we've released that for everyone to hear. but, i mean, it's special that, and i think you can see it in the emotion. it was my last scene that i got to shoot. and when he was able to find lyrics that really, really enhanced the character's story and propelled that forward, but really felt like it was coming from stuff that i was going through, like the highs and lows in life and stuff. so it was a very special moment. >> seth: and obviously, an incredible location right?

i mean, again, you've performed on broadway, but it must be -- when you're in europe, performing outside like that? >> i mean i don't think that -- i hope that people don't go up to performing artists outside and are like "can i have your piano? [ light laughter ] i'm in a gown, let me sing for you." that's not what -- >> seth: that's bad form. >> it was gorgeous, trevi fountain in rome and in this dress and lily being there. you can see the emotion in her face too, she's just the best scene mate. >> seth: and so, i guess at the time you were recording it, you did not know that you could play the character again, right? because that was -- you didn't know there was gonna be a season five when you were shooting it. >> no, no, i didn't know until like two days ago, i think. >> seth: but that maybe means everyone else knew a year ago? [ laughter ] >> yeah -- wait. i didn't even know what you were getting at, i was like, "what?" [ laughter ] i literally was like, "how would they know a year ago"? >> seth: i'm so happy you came. this is just a delight to have you here.
