"honey bunch"? and you guys think biden is too old. [ laughter ]

during former president trump's criminal hush money trial, adult film star stormy daniels testified that she spanked trump with a rolled-up magazine that had his face on the cover. and i think it's weird that the hotel even had a copy of bankruptcy aficionado.

[ light laughter ] you know what i mean? who among us hasn't slept with an adult film star, and then tried to cover it up, and then become president?

"don't even think about it!" shouted judge merchan to the sketch artist.

[ laughter ] all right, now we're moving on. the biden campaign released a new ad today criticizing former president trump's immigration record that highlights his family separation policy. in trump's defense, he just assumed people wanted to be separated from their family. [ laughter ] russian president vladimir putin was inaugurated today for another six-year term. putin sailed to victory after his opponent dropped out. of a window.

like, for example, we haven't had time to make any jokes about stormy daniels. so here with a recap is one of our writers, amber ruffin, in a segment we call "amber says what." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> hi! hi! you guys, things have been crazy. okay, first of all, trump is on trial, and i heard that he keeps falling asleep in court! and i was, like, what? but he was, like -- [ snores ] what? [ laughter ] then i heard he was also farting himself awake? and i was, like, wha-ha-hat? how embarrassing for you! [ laughter ] [ fart noise ] [ laughter ] i actually think it's perfectly reasonable that he did that. next topic. then angel reese played her first wnba game and had 13 points and 9 rebounds in 24 minutes, and i was, like, what?! [ cheers and applause ]

amber, i can do that if i wanted to. i'd be all, like -- [ fart noise ] [ laughter ] never mind. she is a goddess. i am nothing. next topic. then i heard the golden bachelor got divorced and i was, like, that's what you get for not picking leslie! everyone adores her! because we all knew teresa wasn't right ever since she squealed on kathy for calling her out which she had every right to do. p.s., kathy, if the bachelor has picked a favorite girl, don't make her cry, you idiot. that's why you didn't get no rose. but, really, folks, if these two crazy kids who met the old-fashioned way, on a reality show contrived by producers to sell ad space can't make it, what hope is there for the rest of us, huh? [ light laughter ] then, i heard trump announced that during his campaign he will focus on anti-white racism, and i was, like -- [ extended fart noise ]

[ laughter ] that one was on purpose. [ laughter ] anti-white? what's anti-white? flavor? rhythm? hardship? then i heard biden is reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug and i was like, whaat? [ light laughter ] 'cause i was already high. just kidding. i don't care for weed. the only thing i do care for is 100% pure colombian coke. [ light laughter ] >> seth: amber, you do not do drugs, least of all colombian coke. >> yes-huh. because it's got more sugar in it than ours. [ laughter ] then governor kristi noem admitted to killing her family's puppy and i was, like, what! then she was talking about how biden should have killed his

dog, too, and i was, like -- [ light laughter ] i said what so high that only dogs could hear it. [ laughter ] the ones she hasn't murdered. [ laughter ] but, seriously, if you see that woman at disneyland, get these two out of there! [ laughter ] then i heard there's going to be a mufasa movie and i was, like, what? then, i heard beyonce and blue ivy are going to be in it, and i was like, what can i do to get in that movie? [ light laughter ] seth, do you know anyone who could help? >> seth: no. >> you have never once helped me in my entire career! then i read that arizona might uphold an abortion ban from 1864, and i was, like, whaat? if they're revisiting laws from the 1800s, what's next? reinstituting slavery? so just to be safe, i, amber ruffin, would likely to publicly announce i'd make a terrible slave. [ laughter ]

>> seth: they're not bringing slavery back. >> i said the same thing about flip phones, and look at my dumb ass. it's coming! the future looks terrible! almost as terrible as my apartment, which i do not keep clean. please don't buy me. [ laughter ] >> seth: no one's going to buy you. >> everyone's gonna buy me! people will be lined around the block. i don't eat much, i'm happy all the time and i start a party. think about it. i'm the ideal slave. [ laughter ] >> seth: stop saying that! >> i say whatever i want! see? i'm too militant to be a slave. please don't buy me. [ laughter ] >> seth: amber -- >> tell them i would make a terrible slave, seth. >> seth: i'm not going to say that! >> so you think i would make a good slave? >> seth: stop doing this to me! >> look, slavery is coming back. so black people, do what i did and buy yourselves. [ laughter ]

>> seth: amber, that is not an official document. >> well, it is now. because i became a notary. [ laughter and applause ] i know that that makes me a better investment, but please don't buy me. [ laughter ] then applebee's announced something called dollaritas where you can buy a margarita for a dollar all month long and i was like, whaat!? seth, i need a month off to celebrate dollaritas. >> seth: you cannot have the whole month off. >> i demand a whole month off! >> seth: oh, my god, you would make a terrible -- you know what? never mind. [ laughter and applause ] >> then i heard people say china's new train station design looked like a maxi pad, and i was, like, what? then i saw it, and i was, like -- [ laughter and applause ] wait. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage

amber ruffin! [ cheers and applause ] [ laughter ] >> hey, hey. what's the deal with this train station, huh? where do you take it to? aunt flo's? trains show up there, like, what? once a month? [ laughter ] i heard the traffic is heaviest on days two and three, but on day four it slows to a trickle. [ laughter ] and where do you find this train station? in the bottom of your mom's purse? why would you take a train when you have wings? [ laughter ] this station is great, but don't use it when you go swimming. what else, what else? what else? what else? this station is modern, high-tech and more absorbent than the leading brand. [ laughter ] this is the first train station you can buy out of a vending machine in a bathroom. now some train stations close at 7:00, but this one is strong enough for overnight.

it would also work.

[ light laughter ] it's been a while. i'm so happy to see you in person. i haven't seen you in person since before the pandemic. >> 2019. >> seth: yeah. >> all of these world events are trying to keep us apart. >> seth: and now we're together again. >> and now we're together. >> seth: and the chemistry is everything i remember. >> that cuddle backstage -- [ light laughter ] was amazing. >> seth: this is based on a book i read and really enjoyed. and it's thrilling to watch it adapted. and also i think one of the things that probably helps the adaptation is author of the book, blake crouch -- >> yeah. >> seth: -- was actually the show runner of the show. >> he wrote the book. he wrote the screenplays and he was the showrunner and he finally -- thank god he's not a good actor because i would be out of a job. [ light laughter ] he literally did everything and he was daddy for everything that we needed. [ light laughter ] >> seth: and i should note, like, it makes a lot of sense to have somebody like that on board because this is intricately

plotted. a lot of big ideas about quantum physics. >> parallel universes. yeah, somebody's got to keep an eye on all of the infinite possibilities. >> seth: yeah. you get to -- i mean, you always said, like, your issue with the universe is there was only one of you. and so this show -- [ laughter ] >> yeah. i -- i kept joking in the early phases of it, it's like i've always wanted to work with myself. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> and i finally got to do it. and i have to say, i wouldn't recommend it. [ light laughter ] especially doing fight scenes -- >> seth: yeah. >> -- with yourself. >> seth: right. >> because, you know, i wanted -- i play a physics teacher. you know, on one version of myself i fail -- not a failed physics teacher but a physics teacher who's not really happy with his work. >> seth: unsatisfied, yeah. >> yeah, and i kept trying to underline to the stunt guys that this physics teacher doesn't run off to tae kwon do classes every couple of days. >> seth: yeah. >> so having two science teachers fight each other was the challenge.

>> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> i mean it'll be better than that, but -- >> seth: yeah, yeah, yeah. we did see, you know, and again -- you know, you are who you are, but there's a, you know, we did see a science teacher early on with his shirt off and i'm like, i think top .1% of science teachers have that torso. [ light laughter ] >> well, if you have the science, you can just inject the right things into yourself, you know what i mean? [ laughter ] >> seth: there you go. >> not that i'm doing that, by the way. >> seth: no, of course. [ light laughter ] you talk -- we were talking about "red sparrow" i think last time you were in person and we were saying you would make a bad spy in real life. >> yeah. >> seth: how do you think you would fare as a physicist? >> as a physicist i'd make a great spy. [ laughter ] i think -- i would -- honestly, my brother was brilliant in maths and physics. i was not brilliant at any of those things. and yeah, i just wouldn't make -- i'd blow things up, and it wouldn't be on purpose. >> seth: right, yeah. [ light laughter ] that's why they say the

difference between scientist and trouble maker is did they mean the explosion, right? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> seth: like, in a different world, oppenheimer's just a bad kid, you know? [ laughter ] >> i don't necessarily think there would be an actual profession, like, professional vocation that i would have been really good at. >> seth: it's interesting you say your brother was good at math and science, because you did ultimately end up in similar career paths. >> well interestingly, physics is a big part of stunt. my brother started as a stunt guy. >> seth: i did not -- >> and i didn't realize how much physics goes into it. i mean when you're thinking about the balance of the weight of a car that's flying through the air and which way it's gonna land and so on, physics does play a big part of it. and then just stupidity plays the other part. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. right. they say the kids that are both really smart and really dumb in physics class, they're like, "thought about stunts?" [ laughter ] >> yeah. so, i don't -- you know, acting is not a science, that's for sure. and it's relatively uncomplicated.

i really don't think i would have made a great scientist, mathematician, anything. i don't even know that i'm a great actor, to be honest. [ light laughter ] >> seth: but this is -- this show does also like -- the physics side, it also explores like the choices we make and, you know, how we could, like, make a choice early on and diverge, and sort of career choice is one of those things. what -- you say that, but what -- are there any other things you examined doing as a young person? >> yeah, there was a point where i was going off to become an actor and i thought i might go to a fine arts school and be a painter and -- >> seth: so you found something that made, like was less -- like sure thing. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: you're like, "i can't have one of these boring, you know, punch in, punch out acting jobs." >> yeah, i mean, like, today you could probably buy one of my paintings for $15 in a market somewhere in an alternate universe. i really sometimes -- i mean this show really led me in for those reasons of wondering about the accumulative choices you make and where it's gotten you to this point today. and whether you have gratitude for where you are or whether you

regret certain things. i don't believe in regrets anymore. i used to. but it does make me curious to take a peek at the other versions of what your life could have been. >> seth: you -- you currently -- this has been something since we've last seen each other in person. you're the father of two. congratulations. >> thank you. [ cheers and applause ] i'm going to wave to them. my kids watch me on interviews. not that i make them watch my interviews, by the way. [ light laughter ] but if they did -- >> seth: but they just are up watching late-night tv. >> they love your show. >> seth: thank you. >> they love your show. they try and talk to me and they get very upset when i don't talk back. >> seth: oh, during the interview, they like talk to the tv screen. >> so i'll just pretend they're talking to me now, and i'm like, "hi, hello." [ light laughter ] "i'm here. i'll be right there." >> seth: you just wanna do their half of the conversation, so they're not thrown later. your kids, i mean, i'm not just saying this because you're australian, but i'm assuming your kids, like any kids that are almost 3, are "bluey" fans? >> they are, "bluey" and "bingo." >> seth: yeah, "bluey" and "bingo." >> i mean they are so obsessed

with it that half the time they wear costumes. and if i talk to them and refer to them by their real name, my daughter goes, "no, i'm bluey." >> seth: yeah. [ light laughter ] >> and i have to call her by the name "bluey" if she's wearing the ears. >> seth: yeah. oh, that's good. i was wondering how much of the costuming? just the ears usually? >> oh, everything. >> seth: you actually -- you got to voice a "bluey" character. >> yes. >> seth: you were a police officer. there you go, you can see it. [ cheers and applause ] there you go. so they've seen episodes where you are the police officer? >> they saw the episode where i'm the police officer, and they -- even though i told them that that is my voice. >> seth: and do you do -- did you do much of a voice? >> no, a little bit -- my partner christine thinks that i maybe changed my voice a little bit too much and maybe that's the reason. but i just don't think they put it together. >> seth: yeah. >> so they're like -- i'm like, "this is me," and they're, like, "get out of the way, dad." [ laughter ] "we're watching 'bluey'. we're watching this cool cop. you're not cool." [ light laughter ] >> seth: so they won't even take

your word for it? >> no. >> seth: yeah. do they in general sort of think that you're a liar? >> they don't -- [ laughter ] well, yeah, i mean, you know what it's like. you got kids. >> seth: yeah. >> nothing you do is right, and you're wrong on everything and you can't win an argument with a child. which means you probably should send your child into law school because then they would make a lot of money and win a lot cases. >> seth: i walk my kids to school and it's my favorite like 20 minutes of the day. that's a lie. [ laughter ] but i like the idea of it. i like the idea of that i'm a person where that's true. >> that's true, yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: but we have people walk by, and every now and then, the nice thing about new yorkers is they also have somewhere to be. so, like, nobody bothers me, but every now and then, someone will be, like, "hey, man, good to see you," and i'm like, "oh, hey, thanks." you know, very nice. and they'll be like, "how do they know you?" and i'll say, "oh, they probably know the show," and they're like, "okay. " and then somebody else will do it. and they're like, "how do they know you?" i'm like, "the show." and then somebody will be like, "how do they know you?" i'm like, "he was my oldest friend." [ laughter ]

"he's my oldest friend from my old hometown." [ laughter ] do you ever -- is it -- i mean you were saying you only know twins, but do you ever think to yourself oh, my gosh, this is, you know, exactly double what most people do with the first time they have kids? >> yeah, i had nothing to compare it to. and this is the reason why i say i have zero regrets in life. you know, one of them is because, like my character on the show, if you took my life away from me, i would destroy you to get it back. and any time in my past that i've had regrets, i now realize that everything i am is part of all of the choices i've made up and to this point. and i wouldn't exchange anything for the world. and i'm not even going to make a joke. >> seth: yeah. i think it's a very lovely, lovely, real place to leave it. [ cheers and applause ] it's so nice to have you back in the building, man. >> what a pleasure. >> seth: you guys, that's joel edgerton. [ cheers and applause ] "dark matter" premieres on apple

[ laughter ] >> exactly! >> seth: their eyes are different. >> they are. oh, my god. it's like -- i feel like there's just -- there's such power in adolescence. it's when your identity's forming, it's when you're really getting a sense of what you care about in the world and everything is so intense. like hormones, whatever it is, so, when you're in the scene with teenagers that are playing some truly scary like -- >> seth: right? yeah. >> some scary kids and scary moments, all of the kids are so brilliant. i mean, they're all very, very kind human beings and tremendous actors. but being in a scene with somebody who's that close to these fresh discoveries because they're coming online as adults and it's -- i don't know. there's something that's a lot more raw and a lot more in the moment and spontaneous and a little intimidating about it. so yeah. >> seth: it's very funny to think that you can say to robert de niro, "you don't scare me. [ laughter ] i have a teenager." [ laughter ] >> right? chloe guidry scares me, robert de niro does not.

[ laughter ] >> seth: you -- i believe, and tell me if i'm wrong -- but, so this is you and riley keough in "under the bridge." she's wonderful as well. we're a big fan of hers. but you -- they -- the teenagers knew her from "daisy jones and the six." >> right. >> seth: but "killers of the flower moon" had not come out yet when you started shooting. >> nope. >> seth: so did they have any sense of your previous work before that? >> not really. i mean, i know that izzy g., who plays kelly ellard, and her parents and everybody, they kind of looked -- they looked me up and i think they'd seen another film of mine. but other than that i was kind of a mystery to the kids which was great because it's strange. cam says it in the series, but i felt it in that cop uniform, it changes how people are around you. >> seth: yeah. >> and when i was in uniform around these kids who had no -- you know, nobody had seen what i'd done before. it's like, i was -- they were probably 4 when "certain women" came out and not everybody is diving into these independent dramas when they're 4 years old. so it was kind of fun to be like -- i really loved the gift

of that, because it created a really authentic sort of relationship i got to have with them. you know, there wasn't this -- you know, riley was like a rock star to those kids. >> seth: sure. >> literally because "daisy jones," we were watching it every week. there were episodes dropping while we were filming and everybody was so excited, and that they get to be doing this with riley. and then i leave for cannes, "killers" premieres, there's a lot of press around it and then i go back and everybody's like, "oh! oh! [ laughter ] you're -- you're -- this is who you are. you're not actually a cop?" [ laughter ] >> seth: "we thought you were a cop!" >> right. [ light laughter ] >> seth: you're, like, "i'm an undercover cop." >> exactly. [ laughter ] >> seth: these are -- "killer," obviously, "under the bridge." heavy works. >> mm-hmm. >> seth: very moving dramas. i'm also very happy -- when i heard that you are starring in a remake of the comedy "wedding banquet." >> yep. >> seth: this is a wonderful ang lee film and its going to be you and your co-star is going to be bowen yang. >> bowen yang. [ cheers and applause ] yep. so excited.

it was so sweet. i actually just met him in person about 10 minutes ago. >> seth: oh, really? [ light laughter ] >> he came down from the "snl" stage to say hi. >> seth: oh, that's fantastic. >> oh, my. he smells so good. [ laughter ] >> seth: oh, that's good. and i heard you will not work with someone who is not great smelling. >> no. no. it's in my contract. >> seth: that's the one -- that's your one thing in your rider. hey, congratulations on everything. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> seth: it is so lovely to meet you in person. >> thank you. >> seth: thank you. lily gladstone, everybody.

>> seth: oh, cole! you came in costume. >> well, i came from the show. i forgot i had to do this, so thank you so much. [ laughter ] >> seth: oh, my god. thank you for -- >> oh, please, please. >> seth: thank you for forgetting. >> yeah, yeah. >> seth: before we move on, i was lucky enough to run into you last night at the met. and cole, some sartorial splendor here. this is just fantastic. [ cheers and applause ] >> i needed -- i was in the neighborhood. i needed to charge my phone. i saw a line of people. [ light laughter ] >> seth: oh, no! so, you were not invited. >> no, i was not invited. are you kidding? that's for rich people. >> seth: so, you were just wearing this on the streets of new york city? >> have you -- this is new york city, seth. >> seth: yeah, that's true. [ light laughter ] >> come on. >> seth: if it's anywhere, that makes sense. >> yes. >> seth: uhm, all right. so i -- i'd heard so many wonderful things about this show. >> i'm sorry. >> seth: and i was worried. i was worried that it had been oversold. you know that fear you have -- >> i have that fear. >> seth: i would imagine yeah, you have that fear. >> yeah, terrified. >> seth: but i am here to tell you don't have that fear, because i went -- and, again, my expectations have been raised through the roof and it was so much better than i even could have imagined.

so, congratulations. >> thanks. thank you, seth. [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: for -- >> don't clap for him! >> seth: sorry. do you want to lay out the premise of the show? >> the show is called "oh, mary!" it's about mary todd lincoln, who, if you don't know was abraham lincoln's wife. [ laughter ] he had one of those. and it's -- it's sort of, it's about her hopes and dreams in the weeks leading up to abraham's assassination. >> seth: and you had an idea where you would play mary todd lincoln. >> yes. >> seth: and then, how much research did you do? >> i did -- less than no research. [ laughter ] i actively forgot things that i knew about mary todd lincoln. >> seth: so, your whole idea was "i'm going to write this play based on the things i was taught years ago without doing more leg work?" >> well, what i was worried about was that the audience -- you know, people are stupid, seth. >> seth: sure, sure. [ laughter ] >> but i wanted to have the same knowledge that the audience had. i didn't want to do research and

then be making jokes about, like, "well, that'll get a laugh because that's where she was born." you know? [ laughter ] and then -- so i was, like "oh that's --" it was actually dangerous. so, it's -- >> seth: but then you -- i mean, you also sort of gave yourself artistic license because your mary todd -- >> because i'm an artist. >> seth: yes, of course. [ laughter ] and you have physical license that you were given. >> yes, let me -- oh, it's in my other pants, yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: so -- but you made a choice of how you wanted to play this mary todd lincoln. >> yes. >> seth: which is a sort of frustrated former cabaret -- >> cabaret star. >> seth: -- star. >> um, alcoholic. >> seth: yes. >> yeah. >> seth: and how did you come to those two details? >> well, because, seth, you are looking at a former cabaret star alcoholic. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] thank you. yeah, clap for that! clap for that. thank you. so, yeah. it's -- it's literally -- it's me. >> seth: yeah. >> it's about -- it's a show about me, and all my feelings and -- yeah. genuinely, i hope that's why it works, you know?

>> seth: i -- one of the reasons i think it works is -- [ laughter ] it works because i feel like no one's ever quite seen anything like it. and the minute it starts, we feel as though we are in a very safe pair of hands. like -- >> oh! >> seth: we don't know where it's going and we feel confident based on the very beginning of "oh, they know where it's going." and how long have you worked on it? like, how long did you take to get this to the shape it is in now? >> what time is it now? >> seth: okay, right. [ laughter ] >> yeah -- well, i had the idea in 2009. >> seth: okay. >> we all remember 2009, right? >> seth: everyone was talking about lincoln. >> everyone had ideas. [ laughter ] yeah. i said "i got to cash in. i got to cash in, but i'm going to wait." [ laughter ] i'm going to wait until they least expect it. but i was actually scared to write it because i loved the idea so much. >> seth: i know that feeling, right? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> seth: it's too -- it's almost too good. >> yeah. >> seth: once you put it -- the minute you start writing it it gets worse than you thought it would be. >> if you write it and then, you're like, "oh, no, this sucks.

i have nothing. i should go away." >> seth: yeah. >> yeah. and i will go away after this play ends, i promise. [ laughter ] i know people are -- my family's sick of me doing press for this thing. yeah. >> seth: you are about to move to a bigger theater. >> yes. >> seth: and how long into the run of -- at the lortel did you find out that you were going to go to broadway? >> um, oh god, just like a month or so, ago. >> steve: and was that met with extreme excitement? >> well, i don't know if you know the thing about theater, but you do eight a week. >> seth: yeah, you do eight a week. >> we do eight a week, and -- >> seth: you're doing some work up there. >> i'm doing some work up there. so, of course i'm excited. this is my dream come true. it's my dream come true. [ cheers and applause ] but i -- but i didn't have -- i didn't have, like -- i will, once we have a break, i'll get to have a moment of, like, "broadway!" but i haven't had that yet. [ light laughter ] >> seth: right, you have to do

it every night. >> i have to do it every night. >> seth: and now, of course -- >> i get to do it every night. i get to do it every night. >> seth: you are also now -- and i know you're -- you're now doing it for people who have heard about it, right? >> yeah. >> seth: so, the thing now is -- >> is like, "oh, yeah? prove it!" [ laughter ] "what's so funny about her?" that's -- i hear that every night, seth. >> seth: there were a lot of that crowd the night i was there. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. especially these people. >> seth: a lot of longshoremen type. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: all right. so, tony kushner wrote the film "lincoln." >> yes. >> seth: steven spielberg directed it. >> yes. >> seth: and sally field played mary todd lincoln. >> yeah. >> seth: they all came to the show the same night. >> yeah. [ audience ohs ] >> seth: and here they are after the show. >> yeah. >> seth: now -- [ cheers and applause ] you -- you knew in advance they were coming? >> i did. i love to know when people come because then i try harder. >> seth: oh, yeah, that's -- >> you know? >> seth: if there's no famos you let go. >> oh, yeah. i'm, like, "can we -- let's cancel the show." [ laughter ] >> seth: so, how -- what was their reaction to it? did you have any trepidation about those three? >> i only slightly was worried that they would be, like --

because they worked on that film and so they care about the lincolns. i was afraid that they might be, like, "that's disrespectful." [ laughter ] "you went way too far, buddy. way too far." but they -- but they were so warm and lovely, and -- yeah. >> seth: did they lean over at any point and go, "we also didn't do any research." [ laughter ] >> well, actually, stephen did say this really sweet thing, he was like, "we made the wrong movie!" [ laughter ] i was like, "oh, don't tease me, stephen." >> seth: i don't want to give anything away. >> mm-hmm. >> seth: there's a physical moment involving a desk. >> oh, yes. >> seth: can i just -- >> well, there was a couple. yeah, yeah. >> seth: there's a dismount. >> yes. okay, okay. >> seth: where did -- how long into the process did that happen? >> you know, theater is all about the rehearsal. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> and you find things in rehearsal and then they go in the show. [ light laughter ] it's a beautiful process, seth. you've got to do broadway.

>> seth: oh, my god, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> seth: just to meet more people who explain it like that. [ laughter ] >> yeah. of course. >> seth: we -- and i was apologizing backstage. i forgot that we had worked together before. >> we -- yes, technically, we did work together. >> seth: technically. we were in an episode of "difficult people." >> yes. >> seth: with the great billy eichner. >> yeah. >> seth: here is a -- this is -- we were never actually in a two-shot together. >> we -- no. >> seth: there you are and there i am. [ laughter ] >> but in the world of the show, you did give me a hand job. >> seth: in the world of the show -- [ laughter ] i did. you know what, the best is they think you're joking, but that is 1,000% true. >> it's true. >> seth: that is true. >> in the world of the show. >> seth: off camera. off camera. >> off camera. but it's just referenced. but you insisted on doing the research. [ laughter ] which -- [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: because unlike you, i think research matters. >> all right. all right. agree to disagree. >> seth: because someone told me you find it in rehearsal!
