"LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS."

TAYLOR SCHILLING

AUTHOR OF "HOAX," CNN ANCHOR AND

CORRESPONDENT, BRIAN STELTER

AN ALL-NEW, "CLOSER LOOK,"

FEATURING THE 8G BAND WITH

JESSICA BURDEAUX

AND NOW, SETH MEYERS

>> Seth: GOOD EVENING, I'M

SETH MEYERS.

THIS IS "LATE NIGHT.

HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING TONIGHT

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD

GOOD

GOOD

LET'S GET TO THE NEWS.

WELL, LAST NIGHT WAS THE

FIRST --

>> WRONG

LAST NIGHT WAS -

>> FAKE NEWS

>> Seth: LAST --

>> EXCUSE ME

EXCUSE ME.

>> Seth: JUST FORGET IT.

THAT'S RIGHT

THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

WAS HELD LAST NIGHT IN

CLEVELAND, OHIO.

ALTHOUGH, IT WASN'T REALLY A

DEBATE

IT CERTAINLY WASN'T

PRESIDENTIAL

AND IT WASN'T HELD SO MUCH, AS

IT HAPPENED TO US.

I GUESS THE ONLY ACCURATE PART

OF THAT SENTENCE WAS

CLEVELAND, OHIO.

WHILE BEING REPEATEDLY

INTERRUPTED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP

DURING LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE,

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

SAID TO TRUMP, QUOTE, WILL YOU

SHUT UP, MAN

AND IN FAIRNESS, IT WAS THE ONLY

QUESTION TRUMP ACTUALLY

ANSWERED

DURING THE SECTION OF LAST

NIGHT'S DEBATE ON THE ECONOMY,

PRESIDENT TRUMP CRITICIZED

FORMER VICE

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S TRADE

RECORD, AND SAID, QUOTE, CHINA

ATE YOUR LUNCH

THOUGH, I'M SURE THAT'S NOT THE

FIRST TIME HE'S TRIED THAT

HEY, HAS ANYONE SEEN MY LUNCH?

I LEFT IT IN THE BREAK ROOM.

"AH.

CHINA ATE IT

SAW CHINA SNOOPING AROUND THE

BREAK ROOM, EARLIER.

JANET WILL BACK ME UP.

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT

JOE BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN SAID IT

RAISED A RECORD $3.8 MILLION IN

ONE HOUR DURING LAST NIGHT'S

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

"SAME," SAID THERAPISTS.

GOOGLE SAID TODAY THAT SEARCHES

FOR, QUOTE, HOW TO APPLY FOR

CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP SKYROCKETED

AN HOUR INTO LAST NIGHT'S

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

THOUGH, GOOGLE AND CANADA HAD A

TOTALLY DIFFERENT ONE.

"TIGER KING" STAR CAROLE BASKIN

WAS ELIMINATED FROM "DANCING

WITH THE STARS" THIS WEEK.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN "TIGER

KING," IT'S A DOCU-SERIES THAT

PREMIERED ON NETFLIX THREE

LIFETIMES AGO.

TODAY WAS INTERNATIONAL PODCAST

DAY.

TO CELEBRATE, INVITE SOMEONE

OVER, AND THEN TALK ABOUT YOUR

DAY FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE

ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR EXISTENCE.

"THANK GOD," SAID SOMEONE IN

LINE AT THE DMV.

ACCORDING TO NEW RESEARCH,

PHYSICISTS BELIEVE THAT TIME

TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE

OH

THAT'S WHY

WOW.

HUH.

HOPE YOU'RE PROUD OF YOURSELF,

SCOLLINS

I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU'RE TRYING

TO IMPRESS WITH THAT ONE,

SCOLLINS

AND FINALLY, TODAY WAS NATIONAL

ASK-A-STUPID-QUESTION DAY.

GLAD YOU CELEBRATED,

CHRIS WALLACE.

AND THAT, YOU GUYS, THAT WAS A

MONOLOGUE.

WE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU

TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW HER FROM "ORANGE IS THE

NEW BLACK.

AND SHE'S GOT A NEW SHOW CALLED

"MONSTERLAND" COMING TO HULU

TAYLOR SCHILLING WILL BE HERE.

SHE IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITES.

SO EXCITED TO SEE HER.

HE IS A CNN ANCHOR AND THE

AUTHOR OF THE BEST-SELLING, NEW

BOOK "HOAX: DONALD TRUMP, FOX

NEWS AND THE DANGEROUS

DISTORTION OF TRUTH.

BRIAN STELTER WILL JOIN US

BUT BEFORE -- YOU GUYS, BEFORE

WE GET TO ALL THAT, WELL, LAST

NIGHT, WE ALL WATCHED A PETULANT

PSYCHO DEBASE HIMSELF AND THE

NATION ON LIVE TV.

AND NOW, HIS DERANGED SYCOPHANTS

ARE MAKING ALL KINDS OF EXCUSES

FOR HIS PERFORMANCE.

FOR MORE ON THIS, IT'S TIME FOR

"A CLOSER LOOK."

>> Seth: SO WHERE TO BEGIN WITH

THAT DEBATE LAST NIGHT

ACTUALLY, DEBATE IS NOT THE

RIGHT WORD

IT WAS MORE LIKE A COLLECTIVE

BRAIN HEMORRHAGE

IT WAS LIKE WATCHING DEMOCRACY

GET A LOBOTOMY

OR AS CNN PUT IT

>> THIS WAS THE MOST CHAOTIC

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE I'VE EVER

SEEN AND I SUSPECT MOST OF YOU,

IF NOT ALL OF YOU, HAVE EVER

SEEN

>> THAT WAS A HOT MESS, INSIDE A

DUMPSTER FIRE, INSIDE A TRAIN

WRECK.

THAT WAS THE WORST DEBATE I HAVE

EVER SEEN.

IN FACT, IT WASN'T EVEN A

DEBATE

IT WAS A DISGRACE.

>> THAT WAS A [ BLEEP ] SHOW

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ON CABLE.

WE CAN SAY THAT.

APOLOGIES FOR BEING, MAYBE, A

LITTLE BIT CRUDE

>> Seth: YOU GUYS ARE BEING WAY

TOO CHARITABLE

WATCHING THAT DEBATE WAS LIKE

HOT BOXING A PORTA-POTTY WITH

CRYSTAL METH, IN PHOENIX, IN

JULY

IT WAS LIKE BEING HIT ON THE

HEAD WITH A LEAD PIPE IN A ROOM

FILLED WITH NITROUS OXIDE.

IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A

TWO-PERSON PERFORMANCE OF "12

ANGRY MEN" WHERE ONE ACTOR

PLAYED ONE PART.

AND ONE WAS MAD ENOUGH FOR THE

OTHER 11

ALSO, DANA, I DON'T THINK YOU

HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING CRUDE.

NOTHING YOU COULD SAY OR DO

COULD TOP THAT DEBATE.

WOLF BLITZER COULD'VE SHOWN UP

IN FULL BDSM GEAR SCREAMING THE

LYRICS TO "WAP" AND IT STILL

WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE CRUDEST

THING THAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MOST FUN

THING.

YOU KNOW, WE GOT A COUPLE MORE

DEBATES LEFT, WOLF

IT WAS, TO STATE THE OBVIOUS,

ONE OF THE MOST EMBARRASSING

DEBACLES IN AMERICAN HISTORY,

AND I AM INCLUDING

KEVIN FEDERLINE'S PERFORMANCE AT

THE 2006 TEEN CHOICE AWARDS.

OKAY, FED, WE OWE YOU AN

APOLOGY.

BUT THAT "POPOZAO" WAS THE

LOWEST POINT IN AMERICAN

HISTORY.

BUT THAT WAS BEFORE THE

PRESIDENT TOOK A POPOZAO ON THE

DEBATE STAGE

AND THE DEBATE, SOMEHOW, MANAGED

TO TOP THE EMBARRASSING RUN-UP

IN THE DAYS PRIOR, DURING WHICH

THE RIGHT-WING FEVER SWAMP

BELCHED UP A BUNCH OF INSANE,

CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT

JOE BIDEN.

ALL OF WHICH, FOUND AIRTIME ON

FOX NEWS FROM THEIR MORNING

SHOWS, TO THEIR SUPPOSED

STRAIGHT NEWS ANCHORS.

FOX SPENT THE ENTIRETY OF

YESTERDAY AIRING ONE DERANGED

CLAIM ABOUT BIDEN'S COGNITIVE

STATE AFTER ANOTHER.

>> THE TRUMP TEAM ASKED TO

INSPECT THE EARS OF EACH DEBATER

FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES OR

TRANSMITTERS

THE BIDEN TEAM HAS NOT CONSENTED

TO THAT.

>> AS FAR AS THE LISTENING

DEVICES AND THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN'S

RESPONSE TO THAT, I THINK THAT'S

INTERESTING.

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO

FOLLOW THAT THROUGH THE DAY.

>> IT'S A RISK TO RUN A

CANDIDATE WHO MAY BE SENILE.

THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS CONVINCED

THAT BIDEN'S STAFF WILL TRY TO

FEED HIM LINES THROUGH AN

EARPIECE

>> ELDERLY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING

MEMORY LOSS AND THE OTHER

PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH AGE CAN

HAVE, YOU KNOW, GO FOR PERIODS

OF HOURS AT A TIME AND BE JUST

FINE

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY DOUBT

BIDEN'S SENILE BUT IT DOESN'T

MEAN IT'S GOING TO SHOW UP

TONIGHT.

>> LOOK.

THE MAN HAS DEMENTIA

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

I'VE TALKED TO DOCTORS

I'VE HAD THEM LOOK AT A

HUNDRED -- A HUNDRED DIFFERENT

TAPES OF HIS, FIVE YEARS AGO AND

TODAY.

>> THE BIDEN PEOPLE SAY HE'S

FINE

>> HE CAN'T RECITE THE PLEDGE OF

ALLEGIANCE, AND HE'S FINE?

HE ACTUALLY DISPLAYS SYMPTOMS

THAT TWO GERONTOLOGISTS TOLD ME

ARE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS OF

MIDDLE-LEVEL DEMENTIA.

I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS QUITE

RIGHT TO SAY MAYBE HE'S TAKING

ADDERALL OR SOME KIND OF

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER

THING.

AND THAT'S NOT JUST MY OPINION

IT'S THE OPINION OF A NUMBER OF

DOCTORS I'VE ACTUALLY

INTERVIEWED.

>> Seth: WERE THEY INTERVIEWS?

OR WERE THEY EXAMS

LIKE, DURING THESE INTERVIEWS,

RUDY, WERE YOU WEARING A GOWN

THAT TIED IN THE BACK?

"THESE INTERVIEWS WERE SO

SECRET

THEY DIDN'T WANT ME TO TAKE

NOTES, SO THEY TIED MY HANDS

TOGETHER."

BUT SURE, "FOX AND FRIENDS,"

TAKE MEDICAL ADVICE FROM A GUY

WHO ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE HE HAS

ELECTRODES ATTACHED TO HIS

TESTICLES, MAKES THIS NOISE.

WHAAAA

ALSO, "FOX AND FRIENDS," WHAT

ARE YOU GUYS DOING

A LUNATIC RANTS AND RAVES ABOUT

GOD KNOWS WHAT, AND YOU JUST SIT

THERE LIKE TOURISTS WATCHING A

GUY TAKE A DUMP ON THE F-TRAIN

"MAYBE, THIS IS PERFORMANCE ART?

HONEY, JUST GIVE ME A DOLLAR

I'M GOING TO TIP HIM."

ALSO, I LOVE THIS NEW ARGUMENT

FOX HAS, COURTESY OF BRIT HUME,

THAT BIDEN IS ACTUALLY SECRETLY

SENILE

SEEMS TO ME THAT IF YOU HAVE IT

TOGETHER ENOUGH TO HIDE THAT

YOU'RE SENILE, YOU MIGHT NOT BE

SENILE

PRETTY SURE IF YOU WERE

SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA, IT

WOULD SHOW UP AT THE DEBATE.

IN FACT, I'M PRETTY SURE IT DID.

SERIOUSLY.

EVERYONE WHO WATCHED THAT DEBATE

HAD FLASHBACKS TO ARGUING WITH A

DRUNK FRIEND TO HAND OVER HIS

CAR KEYS

"I'M NOT DRUNK."

THEN, TELL ME HOW MANY FINGERS

I'M HOLDING UP

"HUNTER BIDEN.

BURISMA.

SO THEY TRIED ARGUING THAT BIDEN

WAS IN COGNITIVE DECLINE

BUT THEN, IT BECAME OBVIOUS HE

WASN'T

SO THEY HAD TO CHANGE TACT TO

SUGGESTING THAT MAYBE HE'S ON

DRUGS.

IF ANYONE'S ON DRUGS, IT'S YOU

GUYS

IF YOU TUNE INTO FOX NEWS AT ANY

GIVEN MOMENT, THEY SOUND LIKE

THEY JUST GOT DONE DOING BLOW IN

THE BATHROOM AT CBGB

THEY SOUND LIKE COKED UP

SCREENWRITERS PITCHING IDEAS

"ALL RIGHT

SO LIKE, WHAT IF HE HAS LIKE, I

DON'T KNOW, A SECRET EARPIECE.

RIGHT?

HE GETS QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE,

BUT HE'S SENILE.

YOU CAN'T TELL, BECAUSE HE GOT A

SHOT OF ADRENALINE IN HIS HEART

JUST LIKE "PULP FICTION.

WOO!

EVEN FOX'S SUPPOSED STRAIGHT

NEWS ANCHORS, WHO JUST CASUALLY

ENTERTAINING INSANE CONSPIRACY

THEORIES, LIKE BIDEN WEARING AN

EARPIECE AT THE DEBATE

YOU'D KNOW IF BIDEN WAS WEARING

AN EARPIECE, BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T

HAVE THE LATEST MODEL.

HE'D HAVE THE BIG, OLD CLUNKY

ONE, WITH THE CURLY WIRE GOING

DOWN THE BACK OF HIS SHIRT

AND DURING THAT DEBATE, HE WOULD

HAVE CALLED FOR BACKUP LIKE AN

UNDERCOVER COP AT A DRUG BUST

GONE BAD

"OH, MAN

I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU FELLAS

WOULD HAVE SO MANY GUNS.

YOU GOT TO GET ME OUT OF HERE.

SASSAFRAS.

SASSAFRAS.

BUT SURE

LET'S ENTERTAIN THE IDEA THAT

ONE OF THE CANDIDATES WAS ON

ADDERALL

I WONDER WHO IT WAS.

>> THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAID AND

IT'S NOT WHAT YOUR PARTY HAS

SAID

>> WE HAVE TO BE -

>> THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY ARE

TALKING ABOUT, CHRIS

>> WE HAVE THE HIGHEST TRADE

DEFICIT WITH MEXICO.

>> CHINA ATE YOUR LUNCH, JOE

>> ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN --

>> CHINA ATE YOUR LUNCH, JOE

>> YOU SAID MAYBE YOU SHOULD

DROP A NUCLEAR WEAPON ON THEM.

>> I NEVER SAID THAT

>> ANTIFA'S AN IDEA, NOT AN

ORGANIZATION

>> YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME

>> NOT MILITIA

IF HE'D JUST STAY OUT OF THE

WAY.

>> OH, REALLY?

OH, REALLY

>> THIS GUY.

[ TALKING OVER EACH OTHER

>> HE'S JUST AFRAID OF COUNTING

THE VOTES, BECAUSE OF THE

OUTCOME.

>> YOU'RE WRONG.

>> I WANT TO CONTINUE WITH YOU

ON THIS.

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN

>> CHRIS, HE'S SO WRONG WHEN HE

MAKES THE STATEMENT LIKE THAT.

>> Seth: OH, MAN, DID SOMEONE

SWITCH OUT HIS CAN FOR DIET

CRANK?

ALL THE CRANK, NONE OF THE

CALORIES

I'VE NEVER SEEN THE ACTUAL

REDNESS OF HIS FACE OVERTAKE HIS

BRONZER LIKE THAT.

TRUMP HAD SO MUCH CRAZY COKE

ENERGY THAT THE MODERATOR,

CHRIS WALLACE, LITERALLY HAD TO

YELL "NO" AT HIM TO BEG HIM TO

STOP INTERRUPTING.

>> YOU DO WANT ME TO BAN EUROPE.

YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH LATER,

JOE.

>> MR. PRESIDENT

MR. PRESIDENT.

SIR.

>> CHRIS, THAT WS THE WORST PART

OF OBAMA

>> LET ME ASK MY QUESTION.

>> WELL, I'LL ASK JOE.

>> NO.

NO

HEY.

MR. PRESIDENT.

MR. PRESIDENT, PLEASE, STOP.

GO AHEAD

NO, NO, NO

MR. PRESIDENT.

>> THREE AND A HALF MILLION,

JOE.

[ TALKING OVER EACH OTHER

>> NO.

NO

NO

STOP

WAIT A MINUTE.

MR. PRESIDENT.

NO

MR. PRESIDENT.

>> GO AHEAD.

CAN I BE HONEST?

IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION

>> TRY TO BE HONEST.

IT'S A GOOD THING.

>> HE STOOD UP

HE STOOD UP, AND HE

THREATENED -

>> THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS

NO

>> Seth: THE MODERATOR OF A

NATIONALLY TELEVISED DEBATE HAD

TO TREAT THE PRESIDENT LIKE A

RABID DOG HUMPING HIS LEG.

NO, NO, NO, NO

NO, NO, NO

BAD!

BAD PRESIDENT!

MEANWHILE, BIDEN WAS JUST

STANDING THERE LOOKING OVER AT

THE CAMERA LIKE A GRANDPA IN A

SITCOM

"I CAN'T BELIEVE MY DAUGHTER

MARRIED THIS DOPE.

BUT THE DERANGED PETULANCE ON

DISPLAY FROM TRUMP LAST NIGHT,

IT'S NOT UNIQUE AND IT'S NOT AN

ABERRATION WITHIN THE GOP OF THE

CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT.

UNLESS YOU LET THEM SCREAM,

UNINTERRUPTED, FOR 90 MINUTES

STRAIGHT, THEY THINK YOU'RE OUT

TO GET THEM.

EVEN IF YOU WORK FOR THE SAME

NETWORK.

DURING THE DEBATE, FOX HOST

LAURA INGRAHAM TWEETED TRUMP IS

DEBATING THE MODERATOR AND

BIDEN.

I LOVE HOW SHE CALLS

CHRIS WALLACE THE MODERATOR,

LIKE SHE DOESN'T KNOW HIM.

YOU GUYS ARE CO-WORKERS.

YOU GET THE SAME FOX NEWS

SWEATSHIRTS EVERY CHRISTMAS, AND

YOUR PAYCHECKS ARE SIGNED BY THE

SAME GUY

THESE PEOPLE ARE SUCH PATHETIC

SYCOPHANTS

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF INGRAHAM

MODERATED A DEBATE

"MR. PRESIDENT, THE FIRST

QUESTION IS TO YOU

HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD AT GOLF?

AND IS IT HARD BEING AS STRONG

AND HANDSOME AS YOU ARE?

YOU HAVE 90 MINUTES TO RESPOND

AND, MR. BIDEN, YOU CAN GO."

NOT LIKE WALLACE DIDN'T HAVE

MOMENTS OF OBSEQUIOUSNESS.

TWICE, HE TEED UP QUESTIONS BY

PROMISING THE PRESIDENT THEY

WOULD MAKE HIM HAPPY

>> SIR

YOU'LL BE HAPPY I'M ABOUT TO

PICK UP ON ONE OF YOUR POINTS TO

ASK THE VICE PRESIDENT, WHICH

IS, HE POINTS OUT THAT YOU WOULD

LIKE TO ADD A PUBLIC OPTION TO

OBAMACARE.

MR. PRESIDENT, YOU'RE GOING TO

BE VERY HAPPY, BECAUSE WE ARE

NOW GOING TO TALK ABOUT LAW AND

ORDER.

>> Seth: FIRST OF ALL, IT'S NOT

YOUR JOB TO MAKE HIM HAPPY

SECOND OF ALL, YOU ARE WASTING

YOUR TIME, BECAUSE HE'S NEVER

GOING TO BE HAPPY.

IF HE WAS A CHILDREN'S BOOK

CHARACTER, HE WOULD BE AN OGRE

WHO EATS THE HAPPINESS OF

CHILDREN AND NEVER GETS FULL

AND THEN, A TALKING BUTTERFLY

WOULD TELL HIM, YOU'LL NEVER

TASTE HAPPINESS UNTIL YOU FACE

YOUR ANGER, AND THEN HE'D EAT

THE BUTTERFLY.

AND, THIRD OF ALL, IT'S NOT A

MODERATOR'S JOB TO BE A HOSTAGE

NEGOTIATOR, TRYING TO GET THE

PRESIDENT TO CALM DOWN DURING A

DEBATE

"I KNOW YOU ARE UPSET ABOUT

PROTESTORS, SO WE'RE GOING TO

SEND IN SOME SANDWICHES.

TRUMP'S ALLIES JUST CAN'T HELP

BUT MAKE EXCUSES FOR HIS

GROTESQUE BEHAVIOR

EVEN DON JR. GOT IN ON THE

WALLACE BASHING IN AN INTERVIEW

WITH SEAN HANNITY.

AND HANNITY SAID NOTHING

ANYWAY WITH CHRIS WALLACE.

YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND HE'S A

"FOX" GUY, BUT HE'S -- HE'S NO

CONSERVATIVE

HE'S GOING TO BE -- AND HE'S NO

CENTRIST, EITHER

>> Seth: I'M SORRY

YOU THINK CHRIS WALLACE IS A

LIBERAL?

HE WORKS FOR FOX NEWS.

HE'S NOT A LIBERAL

HE HAD THE ENERGY OF AN

EXHAUSTED DAD AT THANKSGIVING

TRYING TO GET HIS BURNOUT SON TO

TAKE OFF HIS HEADPHONES.

"TYLER, WHAT DID WE SAY ABOUT

BLASTING METALLICA AT THE DINNER

TABLE?

NO, TYLER.

STOP GIVING ME THE MIDDLE

FINGER

OH, NOW IT'S DOUBLE MIDDLE

FINGERS.

VERY CREATIVE, TYLER

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE VERY HAPPY

BECAUSE I'M MOVING YOUR CURFEW

BACK TO 3:00 A.M."

YET, THE FOX NEWS POST-DEBATE

SPIN WAS EVEN MORE PATHETIC THAN

ALL THE WHINING ABOUT THE

MODERATOR.

>> TRUMP IS AN APEX PREDATOR

HE'S THE LION KING

TRUMP WENT OUT THERE TONIGHT AND

DID WHAT TRUMP DOES.

HE'S THE SHARK IN THE OCEAN, AND

HE ACTED LIKE IT

>> YOU'RE GOING TO GET A

GLADIATOR, WARRIOR, FIGHTER, IN

DONALD TRUMP

A GUY THAT IS GOING TO GO TO

BATTLE, LIKE HE HAS FOR THE LAST

FOUR YEARS

>> Seth: HE'S A PREDATOR

GLADIATOR.

SHARK IN THE OCEAN

HE'S LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN

HE-MAN, XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS,

AND A BOWL OF FARINA WITH GOOGLY

EYES

AND I'M SORRY, YOU WATCHED THAT

DEBATE AND SAW AN APEX PREDATOR

AND A GLADIATOR, WARRIOR,

FIGHTER?

BECAUSE, HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A

PREDATOR, TO ME.

MOST OF THE TIME, HE STOOD THERE

WITH HIS HEAD COCKED LIKE AN OLD

DOG WHO JUST HEARD A TWIG SNAP

HELD ON TO THAT PODIUM THE WAY

MY GRANDMA HOLDS ON TO HER

WALKER WHEN THEY'RE READING THE

POWERBALL NUMBERS.

AND WHEN THEY WEREN'T SLOBBERING

ALL OVER HIM, FOX PUNDITS AND

GOP ALLIES WERE PRETENDING THEY

WATCHED A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

DEBATE ALTOGETHER.

>> THE PRESIDENT WAS SO SOLID.

WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT THE

ECONOMY, WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT

HIS COVID RESPONSE

>> Seth: THAT'S PRETTY

SELECTIVE.

THAT'S LIKE SAYING THIS GUY

NAILED THE APPROACH.

YEAH

I JUST WANTED TO WATCH IT,

AGAIN.

IT'S WHAT THE INTERNET'S GOOD

FOR.

INSTEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE

TRUMP'S INCAPABLE OF TALKING

ABOUT POLICY, BECAUSE HIS RECORD

IS DISMAL AND HE DOESN'T KNOW

ANYTHING

THERE IS A RAGING PANDEMIC, AN

ECONOMIC CRASH, AND THE WEST IS

ON FIRE, AND THAT'S WHY HE IS

TALKING ABOUT DRUGS AND

HUNTER BIDEN AND WHATEVER OTHER

[ BLEEP ] HE AND HIS GANG OF

MAFIA BOBBLEHEADS CONCOCTED.

THAT'S ALL THEY CAN TALK ABOUT

THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE

SAME REASON WHY TRUMP REFUSES TO

CONDEMN VIOLENT, WHITE

SUPREMACISTS, AND WHY HE IS

LYING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MAIL

BALLOTING.

HIS ONLY CHANCE FOR REMAINING IN

POWER IS TO UNDERMINE THE

ELECTION, AND THREATEN VIOLENCE

IF HE LOSES.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO WIN THE

ELECTION

HE WANTS TO DESTROY THE

ELECTION, JUST LIKE HE DESTROYED

THE DEBATE

LAST NIGHT, HE WAS GIVEN THE

OPPORTUNITY TO DENOUNCE VIOLENT,

WHITE SUPREMACIST MILITIAS, AND

TOLD THEM TO STAND BY.

AND THEN, LATER, URGED HIS

SUPPORTERS TO GO TO THE POLLS

AND PHYSICALLY INTIMIDATE

VOTERS

CONDEMN WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND

MILITIA GROUPS

>> SURE.

>> AND TO SAY THAT THEY NEED TO

STAND DOWN AND NOT ADD TO THE

VIOLENCE IN A NUMBER OF THESE

CITIES, AS WE SAW IN KENOSHA,

AND AS WE HAVE SEEN IN PORTLAND?

>> SURE, I'M WILLING TO DO THAT.

>> DO IT

>> GO AHEAD, SIR

>> I WOULD SAY -- I WOULD SAY

ALMOST EVERYTHING I SEE IS FROM

THE LEFT WING, NOT FROM THE

RIGHT WING

>> SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

>> I'M WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.

I WANT TO SEE PEACE.

>> THEN, DO IT, SIR.

>> SAY IT.

DO IT.

SAY IT

>> DO YOU WANT TO CALL THEM --

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CALL 'EM

GIVE ME A NAME

>> WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND

RIGHT-WING MILITIA

>> WHO WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO

CONDEMN?

>> THE PROUD BOYS.

>> PROUD BOYS.

STAND BACK AND STAND BY.

>> YOU GO FIRST.

>> I'M URGING MY SUPPORTERS TO

GO INTO THE POLLS, AND WATCH

VERY CAREFULLY

BECAUSE, THAT'S WHAT HAS TO

HAPPEN

I AM URGING THEM TO DO IT.

>> Seth: THEY LITERALLY TOLD HIM

DO IT, CONDEMN THEM, AND HE

STILL WOULDN'T

THE BEST HE COULD MUSTER WAS,

SURE, I'LL CONDEMN THEM, BEFORE

REFUSING TO CONDEMN THEM

THAT'S THE WAY YOU RESPOND WHEN

YOU ARE OFFERED AN HORS D'OEUVRE

AT A PARTY

"SURE, I'LL TAKE A CRAB PUFF."

THEN, YOU SPIT IT IN A NAPKIN

AND THROW IT AWAY.

"THERE WAS [ BLEEP ] CRAB IN

THAT."

AND THEN, TO FOLLOW THAT UP, BY

TELLING YOUR SUPPORTERS, WHICH

WOULD INCLUDE THOSE VIOLENT,

RIGHT-WING MILITIAS, TO

INTIMIDATE PEOPLE AT THE POLLS

IS JUST CHILLING

LET'S REMEMBER, WE'VE ALREADY

SEEN ARMED, RIGHT-WING MILITIAS

ROAMING THE STREETS OF

LOUISVILLE AND WISCONSIN

AND NOW, VIOLENT, FAR-RIGHT

GROUPS, LIKE THE PROUD BOYS, ARE

CELEBRATING TRUMP'S CALL OUT AT

THE DEBATE

IF YOU WERE TO SUM UP THE STATE

OF OUR DEMOCRACY RIGHT NOW, I

THINK YOU'D HAVE TO SAY THAT

IT'S A -

>> [ BLEEP ] SHOW.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ON CABLE.

WE CAN SAY THAT.

APOLOGIES FOR BEING MAYBE A

LITTLE BIT CRUDE

>> Seth: DANA, MY WORD

AND IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT

SORT OF DEFENSE TRUMP ALLIES

COULD POSSIBLY MOUNT OF THOSE

HORRIFIC COMMENTS, HERE'S

RICK SANTORUM WHO, FOR SOME

REASON, IS STILL A CNN

COMMENTATOR, DOING HIS LEVEL

WORST.

>> HE WAS ASKING THE PRESIDENT

TO

DO SOMETHING THAT HE KNOWS THE

PRESIDENT DOESN'T LIKE TO DO

>> WHICH IS?

>> WHICH IS, SAY SOMETHING BAD

ABOUT PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT HIM

RIGHT?

>> WHAT?

DECLINING VIOLENCE

>> WELL -- WELL, TALKING

ABOUT --

>> WHITE SUPREMACY

>> YEAH.

THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS

>> Seth: THAT'S YOUR DEFENSE

SO, I GUESS, BY THAT SAME TOKEN,

TRUMP WOULD ACCEPT AN

ENDORSEMENT FROM ISIS IF THEY

PRAISED HIM.

IF THEY WERE SMART, THEY'D START

WAVING TRUMP FLAGS FROM THE BACK

OF THEIR TRUCKS.

"SO I GUESS, YOU KNOW, LONG LIVE

THE CALIPHATE IS KIND OF MY

CURRENT POSITION."

THE PRESIDENT'S PERFORMANCE IN

LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE WAS TRULY

ONE OF THE MOST EMBARRASSING

DEBACLES IN AMERICAN HISTORY

TRUMP DEBASED HIMSELF, AND THE

NATION, AND THEN HIS WORMY

SUPPORTERS SLINK TO HIS DEFENSE.

TRUMP'S BEHAVIOR LAST NIGHT WAS

PERFECTLY EMBLEMATIC OF THE

MODERN GOP, RIGHT-WING MEDIA AND

THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT.

THE REPUBLICAN MASCOT SHOULDN'T

BE AN ELEPHANT

IT SHOULD BE AN OPOSSUM BEING

CORNERED IN A GARAGE BY A RAKE

THEY'RE ALL LIKE THIS, DERANGED,

PETULANT CHILDREN, CONSTANTLY

GRIEVED, MAKING EXCUSES.

WE GOT A CLOSE-UP LOOK AT JUST

HOW ODIOUS AND GROTESQUE THE

PRESIDENT IS

HIS ONLY GOALS ARE CHAOS AND

NIHILISM

HE THINKS THAT'S THE PATH TO

POWER.

AND NOW, IT'S UP TO US TO SHOW

HIM HE'S WRONG AND RESTORE OUR

DEMOCRACY, BY VOTING, IN

OVERWHELMING NUMBERS, TO

REPUDIATE HIM AND EVERYTHING HE

STANDS FOR

BECAUSE, RIGHT NOW, OUR

DEMOCRACY IS A -

>> HOT MESS, INSIDE A DUMPSTER

FIRE, INSIDE A TRAIN WRECK

>> Seth: THIS HAS BEEN "A CLOSER

LOOK."

SHIRT.

ZOOMING.

AND LOOK AT YOU.

>> NO, I TOOK IT -- THIS IS THE

AN INTERNAL KILL SWITCH THAT IS

JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU OPT OUT

OF -- OF THE MORE STRESSFUL

MOMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT

NOW?

>> THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN

HAPPENING?

DO YOU JUST, ALL OF SUDDEN, WAKE

UP AND REALIZE THAT TIME HAS

PASSED

>> THERE'S BEEN PHOTOGRAPHIC

EVIDENCE

NOW, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

AND I LOVE EVERYONE HERE SO

MUCH, I THOUGHT ABOUT SHARING A

PHOTO WITH YOU

>> Seth: RIGHT

>> AND THEN I SHARED IT WITH

YOUR PRODUCER AND WE DECIDED

TOGETHER, IT WOULD SCARE

AMERICA.

>> Seth: YEAH.

>> IF I SHARED IT PUBLICLY

>> Seth: THE LAST THING WE NEED

RIGHT NOW IS TO SEE YOU, ONE OF

AMERICA'S MANY SWEETHEARTS, IN A

SITUATION THAT -- THAT WOULD

BRING MORE TROUBLE IN.

>> A DARK PLACE, I WAS READY TO

SHARE IT

I WAS READY TO OFFER IT, BUT

IT'S DARK.

>> Seth: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT

THE SHOW

BUT I ALSO -- YOU MENTION A DOG

IN THE CLIP, WHICH MAKES ME --

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE,

BUT YOUR DOG, TANK -

HOW IS TANK DOING?

>> YOU KNOW, TANK IS A LIGHT

>> Seth: YEAH.

>> TANK IS HANGING IN THERE.

TANK'S DOING A GREAT JOB

TANK IS -- TANK'S AS STEADY AS

SHE'S EVER BEEN.

>> Seth: I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR

THAT AND I WANT TO SHOW

SOMETHING WE'VE SHOWN ON THE

SHOW BEFORE, BUT I FEEL LIKE

IT'S SOMETHING EVERYONE NEEDS TO

SEE AGAIN, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE

WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR ANYTHING,

ANY LITTLE PIECE OF JOY THAT WE

CAN GRAB ON TO

>> YEAH.

>> Seth: YOU HAVE A VIDEO OF A

TIME, YOU ARGUE, TANK SAID, "I

LOVE YOU."

>> I MEAN, THE PROOF IS IN THE

PUDDING.

WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE

BUT WE CAN -- WE CAN REVISIT IT.

>> Seth: LET'S TAKE A LOOK

HERE'S TANK SAYING I LOVE YOU.

>> I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU

[ WHIMPERING ]

THERE YOU GO

IT DOESN'T GET OLD, DOES IT?

>> Seth: NO, IT REALLY DOESN'T

GET OLD.

AND YOU KEEP THINKING IT'S NOT

GOING TO HAPPEN.

AND I JUST THINK IT SPEAKS TO

HOW MUCH TANK LOVES YOU BECAUSE

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S EASY

FOR HER TO SAY IT.

>> SHE'S STRUGGLING.

SHE'S SUFFERING.

>> Seth: LIKE, IT SEEMS LIKE IT

MIGHT TAKE A LOT OF PHYSICAL

EFFORT

>> SHE'S STRUGGLING AND SHE'S

SUFFERING WHEN SHE TRIES TO SAY

I LOVE YOU

IT'S NOT EASY FOR HER.

>> Seth: I KNOW WE'VE ALSO --

YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO

GET MORE DIALOGUE, MORE ADR,

FROM TANK OVER THE YEARS

BUT HAVE YOU HAD ANY SUCCESS, OR

IS THAT THE LAST THING TANK

SAID

>> WE'RE WORKING ON IT

>> Seth: YEAH, >> SHE REALLY --

I -- WE TRIED AND I GUESS WE

FAILED

>> Seth: I MEAN, IF YOU'RE GOING

TO SAY ONE THING -

>> THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

>> Seth: IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY

ONE THING --

>> WE FAILED

>> Seth: "I LOVE YOU" IS THE

THING, RIGHT

>> YEAH.

YEAH

>> Seth: IS TANK WITH YOU NOW?

>> ARE YOU READY

>> Seth: YEAH.

>> COME HERE

COME HERE, GIRL.

COME HERE.

LOOK IT.

>> Seth: OH MY GOD, SEE THIS

THERE IS SOME UPSIDE TO DOING

ZOOM INTERVIEWS ON TALK SHOWS.

>> THERE IS.

>> Seth: HI.

OH MY GOD, HI, TANK.

THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, TANK.

TANK, I JUST WANT TO SAY ON

BEHALF OF ALL OUR VIEWERS, WE

LOVE YOU

>> TANK, DID YOU HEAR THAT

SHE CAN'T HEAR IT.

SHE'S TRYING SO HARD TO BREATHE.

SHE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A NOSE

IT TAKES UP ALL OF HER ENERGY

JUST TRYING TO GET THE AIR IN

AND OUT.

>> Seth: SO THAT MIGHT REALLY BE

ONE OF THE REASONS SHE'S NOT

TALKING MORE OFTEN IF SHE JUST,

IN GENERAL, HAS TROUBLE

BREATHING.

>> TROUBLE BREATHING

>> Seth: YEAH.

>> OH GOD.

>> Seth: THANK YOU FOR THE -

THANK YOU FOR THE CAMEO, TANK.

AND WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'RE

GOING TO TALK MORE ABOUT YOUR

SHOW

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE

FROM TAYLOR SCHILLING.

♪

>> Seth: WELCOME BACK TO "LATE

NIGHT.

WE'RE TALKING TO

TAYLOR SCHILLING, AND LAST TIME

YOU WERE HERE, IT WAS PROMOTING

A HORROR FILM "PRODIGY" AND YOU

WERE SAYING THAT YOU WANTED

TO -

>> WAS I

>> Seth: I THINK IT WAS THE LAST

TIME, IT WAS LIKE FEBRUARY

LIKE -- NOT THIS FEBRUARY, THE

ONE BEFORE

>> I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

BUT FRANKLY, I'M REALLY

DISTRACTED BY THIS PLANT

>> Seth: ARE YOU HAVING REGRET

ABOUT IT OR DO YOU FEEL LIKE

IT'S STEALING YOUR FOCUS

>> I WAS LIKE ACTUALLY THINKING

LIKE, SHOULD WE PUT BOOKS?

BUT EVERY TIME I SEE SOMEONE

DOING A ZOOM INTERVIEW, I JUDGE

THEIR ENTIRE LIFE BY THEIR --

WHAT BOOKS ARE ON DISPLAY.

>> Seth: AND WOULD SAY ON THE

WHOLE YOU'RE MORE IMPRESSED BY A

PERSON OR LESS IMPRESSED BY A

PERSON AFTER YOU SEE THEIR

BOOKS?

>> BOY, THAT'S A TOSS UP

>> Seth: YEAH.

>> 50-50

>> Seth: BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE DO

YOU THINK WE'RE SEEING THEIR

ACTUAL BOOKSHELF AND HOW MANY

PEOPLE DO THINK HAVE CURATED IT

KNOWING THEY'RE GONNA BE ON TV

>> I WOULD SAY WE'RE SEEING

PROBABLY 2% OF PEOPLE'S REAL

BOOKS.

>> Seth: YEAH, I THINK SO TOO.

I THINK WE'RE --

>> I THINK EVERYBODY SPENT A LOT

OF TIME THINKING ABOUT WHAT

OTHER PEOPLE WILL THINK OF THEIR

BOOKS.

>> Seth: YEAH.

>> I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE

ACKNOWLEDGING THIS BECAUSE

THAT'S ONE OF MY -- THAT'S

REALLY WHAT I THINK OF WHEN I

SEE THESE ZOOM INTERVIEWS.

>> Seth: WHERE I DON'T THINK

ANYONE -- I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S

WATCHING THIS RIGHT NOW SAYING

LIKE, THAT'S NOT TAYLOR'S PLANT.

>> I KNOW, I DON'T THINK SO

EITHER

"SHE'S FULL OF IT.

>> Seth: I THINK IT'S VERY

OBVIOUS THAT THAT WAS THERE,

EVEN IF IT WEREN'T ON TV

TONIGHT.

>> "SHE'S HAD THAT PLANT IN HIGH

SCHOOL."

>> Seth: WHAT'S THAT

>> YEAH.

"NO, SHE'S HAD THAT PLANT SINCE

HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT'S WHAT I THINK ABOUT SOME

OF THESE BOOKS

"YOU READ THAT IN TENTH GRADE,

FRIEND."

>> Seth: AND BY THE WAY, THANK

YOU TANK FOR STICKING AROUND

ALTHOUGH, SHE DOESN'T -- THAT'S

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT TANK, SHE LIKE

KNOWS WHEN SHE SHOULD BE ON

CAMERA AND WHEN SHE SHOULDN'T.

>> SHE'S REALLY STRANGE RIGHT

NOW.

I'M SORRY.

WE DON'T HAVE TO -- SHE'S

SUPPOSED TO GO AWAY.

DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE

SHOW

>> Seth: I DO.

SO THIS IS A HORROR --

>> I DON'T --- I DON'T MEAN TO

JUST GO COMPLETELY -

>> Seth: NO LOOK, I GET IT

YOU'RE ALWAYS ABOUT THE PLUG

EVERYBODY SAYS THAT ABOUT

TAYLOR

ALWAYS ABOUT THE PLUG.

>> THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY.

>> Seth: ABP

>> SHE LOVES THE PRESS

>> Seth: ALWAYS BE PLUGGING.

YOU --

>> THIS SHIRT IS REALLY

SOMETHING, ISN'T IT?

>> Seth: IT'S REALLY GOOD AND

IT'S REALLY HOLDING IT'S SHAPE

I THINK WHEN WE FIRST SAW IT, WE

WERE LIKE --

>> THANK YOU

THAT'S WHAT I'M IMPRESSED BY

TOO.

>> Seth: YEAH.

>> WITH ALL THIS -- LIKE DOG

WRESTLING.

>> Seth: IT'S IS -- IT'S LIKE,

THE TWO THINGS THAT ARE -- JUST

REMAIN PERKY THROUGHOUT THIS

WHOLE INTERVIEW ARE THE

SHOULDERS OF THAT SHIRT AND

TANK'S EARS.

>> I KNOW.

SHE'S REALLY -- SHE'S REALLY

HERE FOR IT.

>> Seth: IT'S REALLY NICE

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IF THEY

WERE -- YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I FEEL

LIKE SHE'S REMAINED INTERESTED

IN ME THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE

INTERVIEW.

SHE SURE IS.

SHE'S FASCINATED

SHE'S -- YEAH.

SHE'S, IN FACT, DROOLING

I WASN'T GONNA MENTION THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON

I DON'T KNOW IF LIKE A DOG

EXPERT WILL TELL ME THAT THAT'S

A SIGN OF SOMETHING.

MAYBE SHE JUST NEEDS DINNER.

>> Seth: WELL MAYBE, DO YOU

EVER -- IS THAT A CASE OF -- LET

ME JUST LIKE TRY TO GAME THIS

OUT.

MAYBE EVERY MORNING YOU WATCH MY

SHOW WHILE YOU'RE FEEDING HER,

AND SO NOW SHE'S ACTUALLY HAVING

A PAVLOVIAN RESPONSE TO HEARING

MY VOICE

SHE'S LIKE, "IS IT TIME FOR

BREAKFAST AGAIN?

>> THAT WAS GOOD

THAT WAS A GOOD PROCESS OF --

THAT WAS GOOD DEDUCTION.

>> Seth: YEAH.

>> SHERLOCKY

THAT'S SHERLOCK.

THAT WAS GOOD.

MAYBE THIS IS HAPPENING.

>> Seth: THIS IS -- COME ON.

TO THE SHOW, I GET IT.

I KNOW YOU'RE FRUSTRATED

[ SIGHS

SO, THIS IS A HORROR ANTHOLOGY

BUT IT'S -

[ SCREAMS

IT'S NOT

>> NO, IT IS, IT IS.

IT IS, IT IS

>> Seth: OH, GOOD.

>> I'M JUST CELEBRATING WITH

YOU.

>> Seth: OH, GREAT

>> WOOO.

>> Seth: I DON'T WANT TO GIVE

ANYTHING AWAY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY

THE CLIP DOESN'T QUITE SHOW US

WHERE WE'RE GOING.

>> RIGHT

>> Seth: BUT THERE'S A FAIR

AMOUNT OF MAKEUP INVOLVED IN

THIS

WAS THAT AN ENTERTAINING PART OF

THAT

>> LET ME TELL YOU, THERE WAS A

FAIR AMOUNT OF MAKEUP INVOLVED,

AND I HAD TO DO SOMETHING THAT I

WAS EXCITED FOR BECAUSE, YOU

KNOW, IN LIKE -- LIKE A

"TRANSFORMERS" MOVIE OR LIKE AN

"AVENGERS" MOVIE, YOU KNOW

THERE'S A LOT OF MAKEUP ON ONE'S

FACE, AND I WAS EXCITED TO

EXPERIMENT WITH THAT

BUT I LEARNED IN THIS -- I

LEARNED ON THIS JOB SET THAT I

HAVE PANIC ATTACKS WHEN'S THERE

SILICONE ON ME, WHEN THERE'S

SILICONE ON MY FACE.

>> Seth: OH, WOW

>> SO I WAS -- I HAD TO TAP OUT,

YEAH

I WAS ABOUT TO PUT A WHOLE MASK

ON AND IT WAS A BIG DAY OF

MAKEUP, AND I LAID BACK IN THE

CHAIR AND I STARTED TO ASK IF

THEY COULD MAKE THE NOSE HOLES

BIGGER AND THE EYES HOLES

BIGGER

AND THEN THE VISUAL EFFECTS GUY

WAS JUST LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M GONNA CALL THIS.

YOU NEED TO LEAVE.

I'M NOT GONNA FINISH PUTTING

MAKEUP ON YOU FACE."

>> Seth: HOW FAR INTO THE

PROCESS?

'CAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES THAT CAN

TAKE HOURS

HOW FAR INTO IT DID YOU TAP OUT?

>> WE'RE LIKE -- WE WERE LIKE

15 MINUTES

AND I HAD THE REST OF THE DAY

OFF FROM WORK BECAUSE HE

WOULDN'T PUT IT ON MY FACE

BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY

CHARITABLE

HE KIND OF WAS ABLE TO -- HE WAS

KIND OF ABLE TO STAND UP FOR ME.

IN A WAY I WASN'T NECESSARILY

ABLE TO STAND UP FOR MYSELF.

>> Seth: YEAH, I IMAGINE THAT HE

OVER THE YEARS PROBABLY HAS AN

EXPERTISE IN KNOWING WHO CAN PUT

UP WITH SOMETHING AND WHO CAN'T.

>> HE KNEW

[ DOG SNEEZES

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> Seth: THAT IS -- I THINK

GOING THROUGH COVID AND HEARING

A SNEEZE THAT LOUD, IT'S HARD

NOT TO BE VERY JARRING

>> I KNOW, IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE.

>> Seth: AND THEN YOU

IMMEDIATELY LIKE -- YOU INDEX

LIKE, "CAN DOGS GET COVID?

>> YEAH.

>> Seth: BUT GOD BLESS YOU

>> THE ANSWER IS NO.

>> Seth: GOD BLESS YOU, TANK

>> THE ANSWER IS NO.

THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN'T GET COVID.

AND ALSO, I CAN'T PUT ON THOSE

THINGS

I CAN'T PUT MAKEUP LIKE THAT ON

MY FACE.

IF THERE WAS ANYTHING I LEARNED

FROM "MONSTERLAND" IT'S THAT I

CANNOT HAVE SILICONE OVER MY

NOSE HOLES OR MY EYES.

I CAN'T DO IT.

ALSO, I WAS TRYING TO PAINT MY

NAILS BEFORE WE STARTED AND I

DIDN'T HAVE TIME

[ LAUGHTER ]

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE -- I

WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS

COMPLETELY UNCHIPPED FOR YOU

SETH, IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU.

>> Seth: IT'S SO NICE TO SEE

YOU, TOO

AND I THINK THAT WAS REALLY

GREAT THAT YOU DID THAT 'CAUSE I

FEEL LIKE WE WERE GONNA HEAR A

LOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AFTER THIS

INTERVIEW ABOUT HOW CHIPPED YOUR

NAILS WERE AND NOW I FEEL LIKE

YOU'VE COVERED YOUR BACK

>> I KNOW, I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE I

REALLY -- I DID IT THE BEST I

COULD.

BETWEEN THE NARCOLEPSY AND THE

STATE OF PUBLIC DISCOURSE IN OUR

COUNTRY, I PUT ON A SHIRT.

>> Seth: YEAH.

I THINK YOU DID GREAT.

I MEAN, I DO THINK THERE ARE

GONNA BE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE A

LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED YOU

DIDN'T NOD OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF

THIS

>> YEAH.

[ LAUGHTER ]

SOMEDAY YOU'LL SEE THE PICTURE

I'M TALKING ABOUT.

>> Seth: YEAH, WE'LL DO THAT

I THINK THAT'S IT.

I THINK THE OFF-AIR IS PROBABLY

THE BETTER WAY TO DO THAT.

>> YEAH.

>> Seth: CONGRATULATIONS ON THE

SHOW

>> THANK YOU

>> Seth: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING HERE

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME

>> Seth: IT IS ALWAYS THE BEST

TO SEE YOU

>> YOU'RE DOING SUCH A GREAT

JOB.

>> Seth: IT'S GREAT TO FINALLY

MEET YOU, TANK

>> I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING

RIGHT NOW.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL

IT'S WONDERFUL

>> Seth: AND WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.

>> YEAH.

>> Seth: YOU GUYS, THAT WAS

TAYLOR SCHILLING

ALL EPISODES OF "MONSTERLAND"

WILL BE AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY ON

HULU THIS FRIDAY

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH

BRIAN STELTER.

♪

>> Seth: OUR NEXT GUEST IS CNN'S

CHIEF MEDIA CORRESPONDENT AND

THE ANCHOR OF THE NETWORK'S SHOW

"RELIABLE SOURCES.

HIS BEST-SELLING BOOK "HOAX:

DONALD TRUMP, FOX NEWS AND THE

DANGEROUS DISTORTION OF TRUTH"

IS OUT NOW

PLEASE WELCOME TO THE SHOW,

BRIAN STELTER.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE, BRIAN

>> HELLO, THANK YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> Seth: AND INCREDIBLE

RESTRAINT TO NOT BE DOING THIS

IN FRONT OF A BOOK SHELF THAT

HAS YOUR NEW BOOK.

I TIP MY CAP

>> I DON'T HAVE ANY BOOKS LEFT,

SETH

THEY'RE TOO POPULAR.

>> Seth: OH, WOW

NICE ONE

VERY NICE PLAY ON THAT ONE

SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A BOOK

ABOUT FOX NEWS

ONE OF THE PEOPLE YOU COVER IN

THE BOOK, AMONG MANY, IS

CHRIS WALLACE, THE MODERATOR OF

LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE WHO WENT

INTO IT SAYING THAT HE WANTED TO

BE INVISIBLE

THAT DOES NOT STRIKE ME AS THE

CASE HERE, AS WE'RE COMING UP ON

A DAY LATER.

HOW DO YOU THINK HE PERFORMED

LAST NIGHT IN, OBVIOUSLY TO GIVE

HIM SOME CREDIT, A VERY CHAOTIC

NIGHT?

>> YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO MODERATE

A DEBATE WITH DONALD TRUMP

I DON'T THINK I WOULD EVER WANT

TO DO IT

IT'S A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT

MISSION.

SO, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME

SYMPATHY FOR CHRIS WALLACE

BUT, YOU KNOW, HE GAVE AN

INTERVIEW TO "THE NEW YORK

TIMES" TODAY WHERE HE SAID HE

NEVER DREAMT THAT IT WOULD GO

OFF THE RAILS THIS WAY

HE NEVER DREAMT THAT TRUMP'S

STRATEGY WOULD BE TO JUST

INTERRUPT CONSTANTLY AND THROW

EVERYTHING OFF

WELL, HERE'S THE PROBLEM, SETH,

A FAILURE OF IMAGINATION HAS

BEEN A BIG PROBLEM FOR THE PAST

FIVE YEARS

A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T IMAGINE

THAT TRUMP COULD GET ELECTED

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T

IMAGINE THAT HE WOULD GO IN TO

OFFICE AND TRY TO BREAK ALL THE

GLASS AND BLOW UP THE

INSTITUTIONS OF THE COUNTRY.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T

HAVE ANY MORE FAILURES OF

IMAGINATION RIGHT NOW.

THIS WAS PREDICTABLE

>> Seth: I DO APPRECIATE HIS

HONESTY IN SAYING HE DIDN'T SEE

IT COMING.

BUT EVEN IF HE DID SEE IT

COMING, WHAT DO YOU DO IN THAT

SITUATION?

AND, YOU KNOW, EVEN NOW, WE HAVE

THE DEBATE COMMISION SAYING

THEY'RE GONNA CHANGE THE RULES

BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE THEY'RE

GOING TO CHANGE IT IN A WAY

THAT'LL STOP DONALD TRUMP FROM

BLOWING UP WHATEVER STANDARDS

THEY SET FOR ANY DEBATES

I MEAN, IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE A

NORMAL DEBATE WHEN ONE-HALF OF

THE DEBATORS IS DONALD TRUMP

>> WELL, THAT'S THE THING.

EVEN IF THEY CUT OFF HIS

MICROPHONE IN FUTURE DEBATES,

WHICH IS DEFINITELY BEING TALKED

ABOUT BY THE COMMISSION NOW,

EVEN IF THEY CUT OFF HIS

MICROPHONE SO THAT THE VIEWERS

CAN'T HEAR HIM, JOE BIDEN CAN

STILL HEAR HIM

THE MODERATOR CAN STILL HEAR

HIM.

SO, EVEN CUTTING OFF THE

MICROPHONE IS NOT GOING TO BE

ENOUGH TO MODERATE OR CONTROL

THE SITUATION.

BUT HERE'S WHY THE NEXT DEBATE

WILL BE DIFFERENT, IT'S GOING TO

BE A TOWN HALL IN FRONT OF

NORMAL PEOPLE ASKING AVERAGE

AMERICAN QUESTIONS

SO, MAYBE HE WON'T FEEL LIKE HE

CAN BE AS MUCH OF A -- YOU USED

A LOT OF WORDS EARLIER, RABID

DOG, YOU KNOW.

MAYBE HE'LL FEEL LIKE HE CAN'T

DO THAT WHEN HE IS IN A TOWN

HALL FORMAT.

>> Seth: HOW DARE YOU PUT MY

WORDS IN MY MOUTH.

[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT ABOUT

CUTTING OFF THE MICS, BECAUSE,

YOU KNOW, WORKING IN TV YOU KNOW

THIS

AGAIN, IF THEY CUT OFF HIS MIC,

NOT ONLY THE POINT YOU MADE IS

TRUE THAT, YOU KNOW, BIDEN WILL

STILL HEAR HIM

YOU'LL STILL BE ABLE TO HEAR HIM

A LITTLE BIT THROUGH BIDEN'S

MIC, AND IT WILL BE MORE

DISTRACTING THEN IT WOULD BE

HEARING THE WORDS HE'S SAYING.

SO, I HOPE THAT'S NOT THEIR

PLAN, BECAUSE THAT IS A BAD

PLAN

YOU TALK ABOUT, IN THIS BOOK AS

WELL, HOW INFLUENCED

DONALD TRUMP IS BY FOX NEWS.

WHAT ELEMENTS OF THAT DID YOU

SEE CLEARLY ON DISPLAY LAST

NIGHT?

>> ALL THE HUNTER BIDEN

REFERENCES

TRUMP'S WEIRD REFERENCE TO WHERE

BIDEN WENT TO COLLEGE IN

DELAWARE

IT'S ALL THESE RIGHT WING MEMES

THAT GET INTO TRUMP'S DIET

THROUGH FOX NEWS

FOX IS LIKE THE BEATING HEART OF

THE RIGHT WING MEDIA WORLD

AND THEN WHAT COMES OUT OF THAT

HEART, WHETHER IT'S BLOOD OR

SOMETHING ELSE, IT GETS PUMPED

ALL THROUGHOUT THE RIGHT WING

BODY

SO, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES STUFF

STARTS ON FOX, OTHER TIMES IT

STARTS IN THE BEAVER SWAMPS OF

THE INTERNET AND GETS ON TO "FOX

AND FRIENDS", BUT THE POINT IS,

TRUMP GETS TO IT VIA FOX

SO, FOX IS LIKE THE DELIVERY

DEVICE FOR THIS POISONED

INFORMATION.

AND, FRANKLY, THAT IS WHAT IS SO

DISTURBING TO ME AS A MEDIA

REPORTER

I LOOK AT TRUMP THROUGH A FOX

NEWS PRISM

SO, HE IS GETTING A POISONED

INFORMATION DIET, AND WHEN HE'S

OUT THERE SCREAMING ABOUT

HUNTER BIDEN ON STAGE, WELL,

HE'S PROVING MY POINT.

>> Seth: A LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU

SORT OF SAW ON SOCIAL MEDIA

THROUGHOUT THE DEBATE LAST

NIGHT, WERE SAYING "I CAN'T

HANDLE THIS.

I'M TUNING OUT

THIS IS TOO TOXIC.

YOU NOT ONLY WATCHED THE DEBATE

LAST NIGHT, BUT YOU, FOR YOUR

BOOK, YOU SORT OF WATCH FOX NEWS

MORE THAN IS MAYBE A HEALTHY

AMOUNT

[ LAUGHTER ]

DID YOU FIND IT HARD TO WATCH IT

DAY IN AND DAY OUT

>> THAT'S FUNNY, I WATCH IT A

LOT LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP

I HAVE THE VOLUME OFF.

I WATCH IT BY FAST-FORWARDING,

I'LL FAST-FORWARD THROUGH SHOWS

JUST SO I CAN AT LEAST SEE

WHAT'S ON THE BANNER, SEE WHAT

THEY'RE SAYING

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU CAN

UNDERSTAND AMERICA WITHOUT

UNDERSTANDING FOX RIGHT NOW.

IT IS AN ALTERNATIVE REALITY,

WHERE NEW YORK CITY, A PLACE I

LOVE, IS A HELL-HOLE, A DISASTER

ZONE

IT'S SO UNHINGED FROM REALITY,

BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR

GRANDFATHER OR YOUR GRANDMOTHER

IS HEARING ON FOX, THEN YOU

CAN'T POSSIBLY HAVE A REASONABLE

CONVERSATION

SO, I DID WATCH TOO MUCH FOX FOR

THE BOOK, MOSTLY MUTED

AND, HERE'S THE FUNNY THING, AT

HOME -- I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS

WORKS, SETH, MY WIFE WOULD

ALWAYS KNOW WHEN I HAD FOX WITH

THE VOLUME UP.

WHENEVER I TURNED THE VOLUME UP,

SHE SOMEHOW COULD TELL THAT IT

WASN'T CNN OR MSNBC.

IT WAS LIKE SHE HAD A SIXTH

SENSE FOR FOX.

AND, OF COURSE, SHE WANTED ME TO

MUTE IT.

BUT, I TOLD HER I WAS WORKING.

I TOLD HER I HAD TO WORK

>> Seth: WELL, ONE THING SHE

MIGHT HAVE HEARD ON FOX NEWS

THAT YOU DON'T HEAR ON THE OTHER

CABLE NEWS CHANNELS, IS FOX NEWS

PERSONALITIES COMPLAINING ABOUT

YOU BY NAME.

YOU COME UP A LOT.

HOW IS IT -- HOW DOES IT FEEL TO

BE A CABLE NEWS REPORTER WHO IS,

YOU KNOW, BASICALLY BEING

DRAGGED BY THE CABLE NEWS

REPORTERS ON ANOTHER NETWORK

>> YEAH, I'M ONE OF THEIR HATE

OBJECTS, AND WE JUST HAVE TO

VIEW IT THE WAY IT IS.

LET'S CALL IT WHAT IT IS

TRUMP IS LEADING A HATE MOVEMENT

AGAINST THE MEDIA AND HE HAS A

BUNCH OF HATE OBJECTS, AND FOX

PICKS UP ON THOSE AND RUNS WITH

THOSE.

BUT, IT IS SO SURREAL, SETH.

WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING

SEAN HANNITY'S SHOW, AND ALL OF

A SUDDEN HE'S CALLING YOU

HUMPTY DUMPTY, AND HE'S USING A

FUNNY PICTURE OF YOU ON TV, THAT

NEVER GETS OLD

THAT IS ALWAYS WEIRD

AND IT'S WEIRD FOR ME BECAUSE

HANNITY USED TO BE REALLY

FRIENDLY WITH ME

HE GAVE ME GREAT ADVICE WHEN I

WENT IN TO CNN

LIKE, YOU KNOW, HE USED TO BE

ALMOST A MENTOR OF SORTS

TUCKER CARLSON, TOO.

HE DONATED MONEY WHEN I WAS A

BLOGGER.

SO, TO HAVE THESE RELATIONSHIPS

WITH THESE GUYS, AND THEN TO SEE

THEM FALL SO FAR DOWN THE TRUMP

RABBIT HOLE, IT REALLY IS

SURREAL.

YOU KNOW, TUCKER CALLED ME A

EUNUCH ONCE, AND I HAD TO GOOGLE

THAT WORD.

AND I WISH I HADN'T LEARNED WHAT

IT MEANT

BUT NOW EVERYDAY, I GET TWEETS

FROM PEOPLE CALLING ME THOSE

INSULTS.

AND IT REALLY DOES SPEAK TO HOW

THIS INFORMATION WAR IS WAGED.

LIKE, I THINK IT'S MOSTLY FUNNY,

AND I DON'T REALLY CARE THAT

THEY CALL ME HUMPTY-DUMPTY, AND

I KNOW THAT I'VE GOT A BALD

HEAD

BUT, IT DOES SHOW HOW THE

INFORMATION WAR IS WAGED WHEN

ALL THESE TROLLS PILE ON AND USE

THE NICKNAMES THAT FOX COMES UP

WITH

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

>> Seth: YOU ALSO, ONE OF THE

THINGS YOU UNCOVER IN THE BOOK

IS THAT BEHIND THE SCENES YOU

HAVE SOURCES THAT TELL YOU THAT

SEAN HANNITY ALSO THINKS THE

PRESIDENT IS CRAZY, THAT A LOT

OF PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE WOULD,

IF IT WAS OFF THE RECORD, AGREE

WITH YOUR AND MY ASSESSMENT OF

HIM.

HOW DOES THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS

YOUR TAKEAWAY FROM THAT?

>> THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO WRITE

"HOAX" IS BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE

AT FOX ARE HYPOCRITICAL RIGHT

NOW.

THRE ARE SO MANY SOURCES AT THE

BOTTOM AND AT THE TOP, IN

MANAGEMENT, WHO ARE CONCERNED

ABOUT TRUMP, WHO SAY HE'S LIKE A

MADMAN

AND THEY KNOW BECAUSE HE'S

CALLING THEIR STARS.

HE'S CALLING HANITY ALL THE

TIME

HANNITY SAYS TO HIS OWN FRIENDS,

"TRUMP IS CRAZY.

HE'S ACTING LIKE A CRAZY

PERSON."

AND YET, HANNITY NEVER REFLECTS

THAT REALITY ON TELEVISION

SO, THERE'S A UTTER HYPOCRISY

THAT HAS TO BE EXPOSED

EVEN WHITE HOUSE AIDES FEEL THIS

WAY.

HOPE HICKS HAS SAID TO PEOPLE,

"I WISH TRUMP WOULDN'T TALK SO

MUCH ABOUT FOX

I WISH HE WOULDN'T WATCH SO MUCH

FOX.

WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST THE

REALITY OF THE SITUATION

WE HAVE TO FACE IT HEAD-ON

I KNOW THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE

THAT SAY WE NEED TO FACT CHECK

MORE

AND THAT'S TRUE.

THE PRESS NEEDS TO FACT CHECK.

THE REPUBLICANS NEED TO STAND UP

TO TRUMP

THERE'S ALL THESE PEOPLE MAKING

EXCUSES AND SAY THAT OTHER

INSTITUTIONS NEED TO TAKE

ACTION

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, THE

PROBLEM, THE ROOT PROBLEM IS THE

PRESIDENT.

AND YES, FACT CHECKING CAN HELP.

AND YES, OTHER THINGS CAN HELP

BUT, YOU KNOW, AS I WRITE IN THE

BOOK, WHEN GRANDPA IS SICK, WHEN

YOU HAVE A LOVED ONE WHO IS

SICK, THE ENTIRE FAMILY SUFFERS.

AND I HAD PEOPLE AT FOX NEWS SAY

TO ME, "IS THAT WHAT'S GOING ON,

BRIAN?

IS THAT WHAT'S GOING ON?

AND THEY ARE WONDERING THE SAME

THINGS THAT LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE

ARE WONDERING.

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT WHEN YOU

WORK FOR FOX, YOU'RE AFRAID TO

SAY IT OUT LOUD, ON THE RECORD,

BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO PISS OFF

THE AUDIENCE

>> Seth: WELL, CONGRATS ON THE

BOOK

IT IS A VERY NICE HISTORICAL

RECORD

I LOOK FORWARD TO WHEN IT IS A

HISTORICAL RECORD, BECAUSE THAT

WILL MEAN WE'RE IN THE FUTURE

AND NOT THE PRESENT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
