Announcer: TONIGHT ON
"LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS,"

GWEN STEFANI
FROM "THE MANDALORIAN," ACTOR
GIANCARLO ESPOSITO

AN ALL NEW "CLOSER LOOK,
FEATURING THE 8G BAND WITH
FRED ARMISEN

AND NOW SETH MEYERS.
Seth: GOOD EVENING, I'M
SETH MEYERS AND THIS IS

"LATE NIGHT.
HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING TONIGHT
THAT'S FANTASTIC TO HEAR

LET'S GET TO THE NEWS.
ELECTION DAY IS EIGHT DAYS AWAY,
WHICH MEANS WE'RE JUST A FEW

SHORT WEEKS AWAY FROM THE
SUPREME COURT TELLING US WHO WE
ELECTED.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED TODAY,
QUOTE, "THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS
RIDING COVID, COVID, COVID ALL

THE WAY TO THE ELECTION,
LOSERS."
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT

EVEN AFTER THE ELECTION THEY'LL
PROBABLY RUN A HEADLINE LIKE
THIS

SCIENTISTS IN GERMANY HAVE
ANNOUNCED THAT THEY'VE MEASURED
THE SHORTEST INTERVAL OF TIME

EVER RECORDED AND NO SURPRISE
HERE, IT WAS HOW LONG TRUMP
LASTED ON "60 MINUTES.

IN AN INTERVIEW THAT AIRED LAST
NIGHT ON "60 MINUTES,"
PRESIDENT TRUMP CRITICIZED

CORRESPONDENT LESLIE STAHL FOR
GIVING HIM TOUGHER QUESTIONS
THAN FORMER VICE PRESIDENT,

JOE BIDEN.
SAID TRUMP, "WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER
ASK BIDEN ABOUT HIS PAST FOUR

YEARS AS PRESIDENT?"
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND FIRST LADY
MELANIA TRUMP HELD A HALLOWEEN

AT THE WHITE HOUSE EVENT
YESTERDAY.
MELANIA DRESSED NORMALLY BUT I'M

NOT SURE WHO THAT WAS DRESSED AS
MELANIA.
THAT'S A NORMAL THING, RIGHT

JUST A NORMAL, COOL THING.
AT THE END OF HIS RALLY IN OHIO
THIS WEEKEND, PRESIDENT TRUMP

DANCED TO THE VILLAGE PEOPLE
SONG, "YMCA," BUT NOT THE DANCE
YOU'D EXPECT

SONG, "YMCA," BUT NOT THE DANCE
YOU'D EXPECT

* IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE
YMCA *

Seth: WHY AREN'T YOU DOING
THE LETTERS?
TRUMP'S THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH

WHO'D MAKE UP HIS OWN DANCE TO
"YMCA.
AFTER THIS, THEY PLAYED

"THE MACARENA," AND TRUMP JUST
DID THE CHARLESTON
THAT'S RIGHT, TRUMP ONCE AGAIN

DANCED TO THE VILLAGE PEOPLE
SONG, "YMCA," BECAUSE NOTHING
TICKS ALL OF TRUMP'S BOXES LIKE

A SONG ABOUT GAY MEN PARTYING
TOGETHER IN LOW-INCOME HOUSING
AT A CAMPAIGN EVENT IN MAINE

YESTERDAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP
SIGNED A PUMPKIN, SO IF SOMEONE
COULD WRITE A STIMULUS BILL

RIGHT ABOVE IT, THAT'D BE GREAT.
THE NFL ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY THAT
IT HAS FINED THE TENNESSEE

TITANS FOR VIOLATING THE
LEAGUE'S CORONAVIRUS SAFETY
PROTOCOLS, WHICH LED TO AN

OUTBREAK THAT AFFECTED DOZENS OF
PLAYERS AND SEVERAL STAFF
MEMBERS.

MEANWHILE, THE JETS' DEFENSE IS
STILL STAYING SIX FEET AWAY FROM
THE GUY WITH THE BALL AT ALL

TIMES.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
HILLARY CLINTON, WHO TURNED

73 TODAY, 68 ELECTORAL
AND FINALLY, A McDONALD'S FAN
RECENTLY LAUNCHED A NEW WEBSITE

CALLED THE "McBROKEN," THAT CAN
IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE FAST FOOD
CHAINS LOCATION HAVE BROKEN ICE

CREAM MACHINES
THE WAY IT WORKS IS, YOU TYPE IN
McDONALD'S ON GOOGLE, THEN

THAT'S IT.
THAT WAS A MONOLOGUE, EVERYBODY.
WE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU

TONIGHT.
SHE'S A GRAMMY WINNING MUSICIAN
AND A COACH ON "THE VOICE,"

GWEN STEFANI IS HERE
WE'RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE HER.
AND YOU KNOW HIM FROM "BREAKING

BAD," "BETTER CALL SAUL," SO
MANY OTHER THINGS.
HE'S SUCH A GREAT ACTOR.

HE'S IN "THE MANDALORIAN," WHICH
RETURNS FRIDAY
GIANCARLO ESPOSITO WILL JOIN US.

BUT BEFORE WE GET TO ALL THAT,
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
OFFICIALLY GAVE UP ON CONTAINING

THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, EVEN
AS THE COUNTRY SET NEW RECORDS
FOR DAILY CASES AND THE

WHITE HOUSE FACED ITS SECOND
OUTBREAK
FOR MORE ON THIS, IT'S TIME FOR

FOR MORE ON THIS, IT'S TIME FOR
"A CLOSER LOOK."

Seth: THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND

ITS ALLIES IN THE RIGHT-WING
MEDIA HAVE BEEN DESPERATE TO
RECREATE THE 2016 ELECTION BY

MANUFACTURING FAKE SCANDALS AND
SUPPOSED GAFFS THEY THINK CAN
TANK JOE BIDEN

FOR EXAMPLE, THEY THOUGHT THEY
HAD A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO
SHIFT THE FOCUS OF THE RACE LAST

WEEK WHEN BIDEN MADE THE
SHOCKING SUGGESTION THAT WE
SHOULD, MAYBE, THINK ABOUT

TRANSITIONING AWAY FROM FOSSIL
FUELS, WHICH ARE RAPIDLY KILLING
THE PLANET

FUELS, WHICH ARE RAPIDLY KILLING
THE PLANET

WOULD YOU CLOSE DOWN THE OIL
INDUSTRY

I WOULD TRANSITION FROM THE
OIL INDUSTRY, YES.
OH, THAT'S A BIG STATEMENT.

THAT IS BIG STATEMENT
BECAUSE I WOULD STOP --
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

BECAUSE THE OIL INDUSTRY
POLLUTES SIGNIFICANTLY
OH, I SEE

HERE'S THE DEAL -
THAT'S A BIG STATEMENT.
IF YOU LET ME FINISH THE

STATEMENT BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE
REPLACED BY RENEWABLE ENERGY
OVER TIME.

ONE FINAL QUESTION.
THAT'S MAYBE THE BIGGEST
STATEMENT IN TERMS OF BUSINESS,

THAT'S THE BIGGEST STATEMENT
BECAUSE BASICALLY --
OKAY, WE HAVE ONE FINAL -

WHAT HE'S SAYING IS HE'S
GOING TO DESTROY THE OIL
INDUSTRY

WILL YOU REMEMBER THAT, TEXAS?
WILL YOU REMEMBER THAT,
PENNSYLVANIA, OKLAHOMA, OHIO -

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, LET ME
GIVE YOU TEN SECONDS TO RESPOND.
Seth: TRUMP HAS NO CHILL.

HE'S LIKE A GUY ON A FIRST DATE
SAYING, "WHEN WE GO BACK TO MY
PLACE, I HOPE YOU REMEMBER THAT

I PAID FOR DINNER JANET?
WILL YOU REMEMBER THAT
WILL YOU?"

SOMETHING ESPECIALLY PATHETIC
ABOUT PLAINTIFF TRUMP, IT'S LIKE
WATCHING THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOG

THAT'S ALWAYS BARKING AT
NEIGHBORS AND RIFLING THROUGH
THEIR TRASH, SUDDENLY MOPING

AROUND WITH A CONE AROUND HIS
NECK
"WILL YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A

TREAT, OHIO?
OF COURSE, WHAT BIDEN SAID ISN'T
EVEN REMOTELY CONTROVERSIAL.

57% OF VOTERS SAY THEY SUPPORT
TRANSITIONING FROM OIL TO
RENEWABLES, WHILE ONLY 28%

OPPOSE IT.
LET'S NOT FORGET, LARGE PARTS OF
THE WEST ARE ON FIRE AND SEA

LEVELS IN SOUTH FLORIDA COULD
RISE MORE THAN A FOOT BY 2045.
TRUMP CAN DENY CLIMATE CHANGE

ALL HE WANTS BUT IT WILL BE VERY
REAL TO HIM WHEN MAR-A-LAGO IS
UNDERWATER, YOU KNOW, LITERALLY,

INSTEAD OF JUST FINANCIALLY.
ALTHOUGH, IT'LL PROBABLY BE FINE
UNDERWATER SINCE IT ALREADY

LOOKS LIKE A CASTLE IN A FISH
TANK
"AT MAR-A-LAGO, WE OFFER FIRST

CLASS AMENITIES, LIKE A GOLF
COURSE, A SWIMMING POOL AND FREE
FOOD FLAKES TWICE A DAY.

AND IF YOU NEED A RESTAURANT
RECOMMENDATION, JUST ASK OLD
TIMEY DIVER MAN.

SO TRUMP STRUCK OUT ON HIS ONE
ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE FOCUS OF
THE RACE

MEANWHILE, IN THAT SAME DEBATE,
THE PRESIDENT SAID THE
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, WHICH IS

CURRENTLY SETTING NEW CASE
RECORDS AND RAGING OUT OF
CONTROL, WAS BASICALLY OVER.

RECORDS AND RAGING OUT OF
CONTROL, WAS BASICALLY OVER.

WE'RE FIGHTING IT AND WE'RE
FIGHTING IT HARD

THERE IS A SPIKE, THERE WAS A
SPIKE IN FLORIDA AND IT'S NOW
GONE

THERE WAS A VERY BIG SPIKE IN
TEXAS.
IT'S NOW GONE.

THERE WAS A VERY BIG SPIKE IN
ARIZONA.
IT'S NOW GONE.

AND THERE ARE SOME SPIKES AND
SURGES IN OTHER PLACES, THEY
WILL SOON BE GONE.

I CAN TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE THAT I WAS IN THE
HOSPITAL, I HAD IT AND I GOT

BETTER
Seth: OKAY, BUT THAT'S KINDA
LIKE GEORGE CLOONEY TELLING YOU

A RESTAURANT HAS REALLY GOOD
SERVICE.
"I MEAN, THEY TREATED ME LIKE A

REAL CELEBRITY."
YOU HAD THE BEST MEDICAL CARE IN
THE WORLD AND AN ARMY OF DOCTORS

AROUND YOU 24-7 LIKE A NASCAR
PIT CREW FIXING UP A
'76 DODGE DART.

"ALL RIGHT, QUICK, JUST PUT SOME
DUCT TAPE ON THE WINDSHIELD.
EVEN WORSE, AS HE WAS SAYING

THAT, ALL -- EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
THE STATES HE NAME CHECKED,
TEXAS, FLORIDA AND ARIZONA WERE

SEEING MAJOR SPIKES IN COVID
CASES.
PATIENTS IN EL PASO ARE BEING

AIR LIFTED TO OTHER HOSPITALS
BECAUSE THEY'RE AT CAPACITY.
NINE MONTHS INTO THE OUTBREAK,

WE'RE STILL SETTING RECORDS FOR
NEW DAILY CASES WITH 85,000 ON
FRIDAY ALONE, MEANING ABOUT ONE

IN 4,000 AMERICANS GOT COVID ON
JUST THAT ONE DAY, WHICH IS AN
INSANE STATISTIC

THAT'S LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D READ
ON A REALLY DEPRESSING SNAPPLE
CAP.

YOU KNOW, ALONG WITH "THE
AVERAGE PERSON SPENDS TWO WEEKS
OVER THEIR LIFETIME WAITING FOR

A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE.
"OH, MAN, THAT'S SUCH A BUMMER
OH, WAIT, WHAT DOES THIS SIGN

SAY?
OOH, DIET PEACH?
THIS MUCH IS CLEAR

TRUMP WHITE HOUSE HAS GIVEN UP
WHILE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
AMERICANS NEEDLESSLY DIE FROM A

VIRUS THAT CAN BE CONTAINED, THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS AIDES ARE
WAVING THE WHITE FLAG AND

TELLING YOU TO FEND FOR
YOURSELF
TRUMP'S CHIEF-OF-STAFF,

MARK MEADOWS, ADMITTED AS MUCH
ON SUNDAY.

THE
PANDEMIC
WE ARE GOING TO CONTROL THE FACT

THAT WE GET VACCINES,
THERAPEUTICS, AND OTHER
MITIGATION AREAS -

WHY AREN'T WE GOING TO GET
CONTROL OF THE PANDEMIC?
BECAUSE IT IS A CONTAGIOUS

VIRUS JUST LIKE THE FLU.
Seth: AT THIS POINT, THE
MAYOR FROM "JAWS" WOULD BE AN

UPGRADE.
AT LEAST IN THAT MOVIE, THE
MAYOR WAS IN DENIAL.

HE WASN'T GOING AROUND SAYING,
"LOOK, SHARKS GOT TO EAT, TOO.
NOW HELP ME PUSH THESE KIDS INTO

THE OCEAN.
SINCE THE OUTSET OF THE
PANDEMIC, IT'S BEEN CLEAR THAT

THE PRESIDENT HAS NO INTEREST IN
DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN
WHINING ABOUT IT

FOR EXAMPLE, AS THE COUNTRY
FACES A ONCE-IN-A-CENTURY
CATACLYSM THAT HAS SICKENED

MILLIONS AND PUT MANY MORE OUT
OF WORK, TRUMP HAS ADDED A NEW
REFRAIN TO HIS CAMPAIGN RALLIES,

WHICH HE REPEATED OVER THE
WEEKEND AND AGAIN TODAY,
COMPLAINING THAT THE MEDIA WON'T

COMPLAINING THAT THE MEDIA WON'T
STOP TALKING ABOUT COVID

WE'RE ROUNDING THE TURN, YOU

KNOW, ALL THEY WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IS COVID
BY THE WAY, ON NOVEMBER 4th, YOU

WON'T BE HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT
IT
[ CHEERS ]

COVID, COVID, COVID.
COVID.
TODAY, LET'S TALK ABOUT COVID.

THAT'S ALL I HEAR ABOUT NOW,
TURN ON TELEVISION, COVID,
COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID,

COVID.
A PLANE GOES DOWN, 500 PEOPLE
DEAD, THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT IT

COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID
BY THE WAY, ON NOVEMBER 4th, YOU
WON'T HEAR ABOUT IT ANYMORE.

IT'S TRUE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
COVID, COVID

COVID, COVID
PLEASE DON'T GO AND VOTE, COVID.

VOICE?

WHY IS HE SHOUTING THE WORD,
COVID, LIKE A SUBURBAN STEP-DAD
CALLING HIS TEENAGE SON DOWN FOR

DINNER
"COVID
COVID!

DINNER'S READY
COVID, I MADE JAMBALAYA.
COVID!

COVID!
COVID!
WELL, THEN WHY DID HE LEAVE?

WHY DID YOUR REAL FATHER LEAVE,
COVID?
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

COVID.
COVID, I'M --"
AS HE WAS SAYING THAT, THE

WHITE HOUSE WAS DEALING WITH A
SECOND COVID OUTBREAK, THIS TIME
IN THE VICE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

ABOUT 800 AMERICANS ARE DYING A
DAY.
OF COURSE.

OF COURSE, IT'S THE NUMBER ONE
STORY.
IF THAT FAKE PLANE CRASH HE MADE

UP WAS HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE
DAY, THEN THAT WOULD BE THE MAIN
STORY, TOO

NO MATTER WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE
WORLD, TRUMP WILL ONLY BE HAPPY
IF EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE

EVENING NEWS, THE TOP STORY IS
"HANDSOME PRESIDENT WOWS NATION
WITH DANCE MOVES."

WHEN, IF ANYTHING, HE LOOKS LIKE
A SERIAL KILLER TRYING TO
WRIGGLE OUT OF HIS STRAIT

JACKET
MY FAVORITE IS WHEN HE JUST
MOVES HIS ARMS BACK AND FORTH,

LIKE HE'S SOFTLY FIGHTING OFF AN
OLD MUGGER
"OH, GIVE ME YOUR WALLET

I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU DO THAT.
THAT'S A DANCE YOU'RE DOING WHEN
YOU'RE TRYING ON A NEW JACKET.

"I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I CAN
GET STUFF OFF A HIGH SHELF."
ALSO, WHY ARE YOU MAKING UP A

FAKE PLANE CRASH
IS THIS THE SAME PLANE THAT HAD
ALL YOUR IMAGINARY ANARCHIST

ALL YOUR IMAGINARY ANARCHIST
THUGS ON IT, TOO

WE HAD SOMEBODY GET ON A

PLANE FROM A CERTAIN CITY THIS
WEEKEND, AND IN THE PLANE, IT
WAS ALMOST COMPLETED LOADED WITH

THUGS WEARING THESE DARK
UNIFORMS, BLACK UNIFORMS WITH
GEAR AND THIS AND THAT

A PERSON WAS ON A PLANE SAID
THAT THERE WERE ABOUT SIX PEOPLE
LIKE THAT PERSON, MORE OR LESS,

AND WHAT HAPPENED IS THE ENTIRE
PLANE FILLED UP WITH THE
LOOTERS, THE ANARCHISTS, THE

RIOTERS, PEOPLE THAT OBVIOUSLY
WERE LOOKING FOR TROUBLE

UNIFORMS AND TO COVER THEIR
TRACKS, THEY CRASHED THE PLANE
AND PARACHUTED TO SAFETY

I SAW IT IN A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT
THE BATMAN
WE LOVE THE BATMAN, DON'T WE,

FOLKS?
DON'T WE
HE'S GOT THE CAPE, HE'S GOT THE

COWL, THE WHOLE DEAL
SUBURBAN WOMEN THEY LOVE -- THEY
LOVE THE BATMAN.

WE'VE HAD MORE BATMEN UNDER MY
ADMINISTRATION THAN ANY OTHER IN
HISTORY.

OBAMA ONLY HAD THE ONE BATMAN,
SO RUDE.
SO RUDE, HIS BATMAN.

YELLED AT THE SOUND GUY.
IF YOU HAVE SEEN OBAMA'S BATMAN
LATELY, IT GAINED A LOT OF

WEIGHT
FAT BATMAN NOW
NOT MY BATMAN.

COVID!
THIS MAY BE A RHETORICAL CHANGE
BUT IT'S NOT REALLY MUCH OF A

CHANGE IN POLICY SINCE THE TRUMP
WHITE HOUSE HAS, FROM THE
BEGINNING, DECIDED TO FORFEIT

AND LET THE VIRUS RUN RAMPANT
ACROSS THE COUNTRY
JUST LAST WEEK,

DR. ANTHONY FAUCI SAID HE HADN'T
SPOKEN DIRECTLY WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP IN A WHILE AND ADDED THAT

TRUMP STOPPED GOING TO
CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE MEETINGS
MONTHS AGO

CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE MEETINGS
MONTHS AGO

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
HAD THE PRESIDENT AT ONE OF

THESE TASK FORCE MEETINGS?
AT A TASK FORCE MEETING, THAT
WAS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, CHUCK.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO
Seth: "DONALD TRUMP
WHY I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT NAMES

IN YEARS."
POOR GUY, HE MUST FEEL LIKE
KEVIN SMITH'S STYLIST.

"JUST, PLEASE, TRY THE LONG
PANTS.
JUST TRY -

IT'S WINTER, KEVIN."
OH, LOOK AT THIS
THIS IS WHEN KEVIN SMITH WAS ON.

HE GAVE US A JOINT
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE STILL HAVE IT

THANK YOU, KEVIN
THAT'S RIGHT
TRUMP HASN'T BEEN TO A

CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE MEETING
IN SEVERAL MONTHS.
I GUESS HE'S BEEN TOO BUSY, I

DON'T KNOW, SPARRING WITH AN
INVISIBLE PUNCHING BAG
MONTHS AGO, TRUMP DECIDED

INSTEAD OF PROVIDING ANY
LEADERSHIP AT ALL, HE JUST LETS
STATES FEND FOR THEMSELVES AND

THEN BLAME THE SO-CALLED BLUE
STATES FOR DOING A BAD JOB,
WHICH A, ISN'T EVEN TRUE, AND B,

IS DISGUSTING.
CAN YOU IMAGINE BARACK OBAMA
TELLING A RED STATE TO GO SCREW

ITSELF DURING A CRISIS
YOU CAN'T.
"IDAHO, MORE LIKE, "I DON'T

KNOW
YOU SAY POTATO I SAY [ BLEEP ]
OFF.

[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
BUT UNTIL NOW, THE TRUMP
WHITE HOUSE HAS AT LEAST LIED

AND PRETENDED THEIR GOAL WAS TO
CONTAIN THE VIRUS, PROCLAIMING
VICTORY MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE

VICTORY MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE
COURSE OF THE OUTBREAK

THANKS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S

HISTORICALLY AGGRESSIVE
CONTAINMENT EFFORTS, WE'VE
ACTUALLY CONTAINED THE SPREAD OF

THIS VIRUS HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
WE HAVE CONTAINED THIS, WE

HAVE CONTAINED THIS, I WON'T SAY
AIRTIGHT BUT PRETTY CLOSE TO
AIRTIGHT

SO FAR, IT LOOKS RELATIVELY
CONTAINED AND WE DON'T THINK
MOST PEOPLE -- I MEAN, THE VAST

MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE NOT AT
RISK FOR THIS VIRUS.
IT IS BEING CONTAINED

DO YOU NOT THINK IT'S BEING
CONTAINED?
I'M NOT A DOCTOR, I'M A

LAWYER
YOU SAID -- YOU SAID IT'S NOT
BEING CONTAINED.

SO ARE YOU A DOCTOR OR A LAWYER
WHEN YOU SAY IT'S NOT BEING
CONTAINED?

THE VIRUS IS SPREADING.
YOU JUST SAID SOMETHING
THAT'S NOT TRUE.

Seth: MISS YOU, KELLYANNE
NOBODY WAS BETTER AT BEING WRONG
AND CONDESCENDING AT THE SAME

TIME
SHE'S LIKE THE DOWAGER COUNTESS
IF MAGGIE SMITH WAS FROM

LONG ISLAND AND FLUNKED OUT OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
"I LIKE MY TEA SERVED THE PROPER

WAY --
WITH GIN, RUM, VODKA AND
TEQUILA.

I HOPE THAT TAPE GETS REPLAYED
OVER AND OVER FOR THE REST OF
KELLYANNE'S LIFE

SHE'S LIKE A PILOT ON
THE HINDENBERG SAYING "DO
NOTHING, WE'RE LANDING SAFELY.

ARE YOU A PILOT?
[ HISSING
[ HISSING

OH, THE HUMANITY
I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE TIRED OF
THAT SENTIMENT."

IT'S BEEN CLEAR FROM DAY ONE
THAT THE PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY
DON'T CARE ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF

THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WHO HAVE
DIED AND THE MILLIONS MORE WHO
HAVE GOTTEN SICK AND LOST THEIR

JOBS
THEY WERE WILLING TO STOMACH ALL
OF THAT FOR A 6-3 CONSERVATIVE

SUPER MAJORITY ON THE
SUPREME COURT.
TRUMP AND HIS AIDES ARE

SURRENDERING TO THE VIRUS AND
TELLING AMERICANS YOU'RE ON YOUR
OWN.

SO, I GUESS, IF YOU LIVE, IN A
SWING STATE, AND YOU'RE WATCHING
THIS, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO

SAY --
WILL YOU REMEMBER THAT,
TEXAS?

WILL YOU REMEMBER THAT,
PENNSYLVANIA
THIS HAS BEEN "A CLOSER

LOOK."

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A WORD

FROM "LATE NIGHT" WRITER,
AMBER RUFFIN

FOR MORE OF SETH'S "CLOSER
LOOKS," BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO
"LATE NIGHT" ON YOUTUBE.

Seth: WELCOME BACK TO "LATE
NIGHT.
RECENTLY AFTER MEETING WITH

TRUMP'S TEAM TO TALK ABOUT HIS
PLAN FOR BLACK AMERICA, RAPPER
ICE CUBE CAME UNDER FIRE AND

AFTER WEIGHING IN ON BIDEN'S TAX
PLAN, 50 CENT ENDORSED
DONALD TRUMP

HE SINCE SEEMINGLY RETRACTED
THAT STATEMENT SAYING HE, QUOTE,
"NEVER LIKED HIM."

KANYE WEST HAS BEEN SHOWING
SUPPORT FOR TRUMP FOR QUITE SOME
TIME

ALSO, A FEW OTHER RAPPERS HAVE
SHOWN SUPPORT FOR --
OH, HEY, AMBER

HMM
Seth: DO YOU WANT TO SAY
SOMETHING ABOUT RECENT SUPPORT

TRUMP HAS RECEIVED FROM VARIOUS
RAPPERS?
ME?

OH, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY
ABOUT THAT
Seth: OKAY.

WELL, THIS NEW TREND IS
SOMETHING --
BECAUSE IF I DID, IT WOULD

LIKE IMMEDIATELY GO OFF THE
RAILS.
50 AND CUBE BOTH SAID THEY DON'T

SUPPORT HIM.
SO, NO, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO
SAY ABOUT THAT

Seth: OKAY.
WELL, ONE THING THAT IS --
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD

GO OFF THE RAILS IMMEDIATELY
I WOULD JUST BE SO MAD, YOU
KNOW

SO, NO
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY
ABOUT THAT

Seth: OKAY, GREAT
WELL, THANK YOU, AMBER
BECAUSE IF I DID, YOU KNOW

WHAT, I WOULD BE ALL LIKE, "WHAT
IS WRONG WITH YOU?
WHY IN THE BUTT WOULD YOU BE

LIKE, "I WANT A SEAT AT THE
TABLE TO SHARE MY IDEAS," WHEN
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THE WORK.

YOU CAN'T JUST BE LIKE, "IT'S MY
TURN TO PLAY POLITICS NOW, WE
TAKE TURNS."

NO, YOU DO NOT GET A TURN!
THIS IS NOT AN ALL-SKATE
YOU CANNOT JUST BE LIKE, "I'LL

HELP CREATE POLICIES FOR MY
COMMUNITY.
PEOPLE ARE ALREADY DOING THAT

AND HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR
YEARS.
TALK TO BLACK COMMUNITY LEADERS

WHO HAVE BEEN DOING THE WORK
DON'T JUST BUST INTO THE COCKPIT
OF A PLANE TALKING ABOUT "WHAT

IF WE FLEW THE PLANE UPSIDE
DOWN?"
THIS IS NOT WHERE YOUR

EXPERIENCE LIES.
YOU DON'T SEE TRUMP COMING UP TO
YOU TALKING ABOUT, "UMMM,

'CRISTAL' AND 'PISTOL' IS MORE
OF A SLANT RHYME."
LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO BE LIKE,

"THIS MAN GIVES ME TAX CUTS AND
I WORKED HARD FOR THIS MONEY AND
IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN

YOUR EDUCATION, QUALITY OF LIFE,
HEALTH INSURANCE, BLAH, BLAH,
BLAH," FINE.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH EVIL
PEOPLE BEING EVIL, BUT DON'T TRY
TO [ BLEEP ] DUPE ME WITH YOUR

GREEDY ASS
"I THINK HE'S GOT SOME GOOD
IDEAS, EVERYONE.

COME ON, LET'S ALL FALL FOR IT."
NO
LET TRUMP TRICK WHITE PEOPLE

INTO VOTING AGAINST THEIR BEST
INTERESTS AND PAYING ALL OF HIS
TAXES FOR HIM.

DON'T SHOP THAT [ BLEEP ] AROUND
HERE
HE IS PLAYING YOU!

DO NOT GIVE HIM AN OUNCE OF
CREDIBILITY.
I MEAN, THE EMOTIONAL

RAMIFICATIONS ALONE.
WHAT ARE PEOPLE TO THINK OF
THEMSELVES WHEN THEY VOTE FOR A

MAN WHO SUPPORTS RACIST
POLICIES
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF?

IS IT WORTH IT
MAN, THE BEST PART OF BEING
BLACK IS HOW BLACK PEOPLE ARE

ROOTING FOR YOU AND LOOKING OUT
FOR YOU, AND I WANT TO BE THAT
FOR YOU, BUT YOU MAKE IT HARD

WHEN YOU PULL [ BLEEP ] LIKE
THIS
BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES TO

THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC, LIKE I
WANT TO SUPPORT EVERYBODY AND I
JUST -

I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO
SAY ABOUT THAT
Seth: THAT WAS AMBER RUFFIN,

EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
GWEN STEFANI

* WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH GWEN STEFAN
'CAUSE SHE WAS LOOKED ON

FROM ABOVE *
*
Seth: WELCOME BACK.

WE'RE SO HAPPY TO HAVE
FRED ARMISEN HERE TO LEAD THE
8G BAND THIS WEEK.

WELCOME HOME, FRED, SO GOOD TO
SEE YOU.
FRED WITH A BEARD.

BEARDED FRED
FRED, I LOVE YOUR BEARD.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

STILL JUST WAVING.
JUST WAVING AT ME.
HUH.

DEF STARTING TO THINK THIS WAS
PRERECORDED.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

ALL RIGHT.
WE WILL TRY FOR A LITTLE BIT
MORE BACK AND FORTH TOMORROW,

FRED
STILL JUST WAVING AT ME.
ALL RIGHT.

OUR FIRST GUEST TONIGHT IS A
GRAMMY WINNING MUSICIAN AND A
COACH ON "THE VOICE.

NEW EPISODES AIR MONDAYS AND
TUESDAYS AT 8:00 ON NBC.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

TUESDAYS AT 8:00 ON NBC.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

YOU GOTTA TO CATCH IT, OKAY
I'LL TRY.

IT'S A T-SHIRT?
OKAY.
ARE YOU READY

I THINK SO.
HERE IT COMES
OH!

WHAT DO WE DO NOW
SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS.
[ LAUGHTER ]

REDO.
OKAY, HOLD YOUR BREATH.
I CAN'T BREATHE

I GOT IT, I GOT IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I'M NOT GOING TO HELP HER,

BECAUSE IT'S TOO FUNNY
HOW DID YOU FOLD IT BEFORE --
JUST, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING'S

GREAT, RYAN.
EVERYTHING'S -
[ LAUGHTER ]

ARE YOU READY
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.
HERE IT GOES.

OH, IT'S NOT LOADED.
Seth: PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO
THE SHOW, GWEN STEFANI

HOW ARE YOU?
WOW
I GET TO BE ON YOUR SHOW, AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
THIS IS SO FUN
Seth: IT'S LOVELY TO HAVE YOU

BACK
OBVIOUSLY NOT THE IDEAL
CIRCUMSTANCES.

BUT, I'M WONDERING, YOU KNOW,
FOR US WE'RE OBVIOUSLY BACK IN
THE STUDIO

WE DON'T HAVE AN AUDIENCE.
BUT IT IS STILL -- THERE IS A
NICENESS TO BEING BACK IN THE

STUDIO
I'M ASSUMING IT'S THE SAME FOR
YOU AND "THE VOICE."

YEAH, I MEAN, WE WERE JUST --
IT WAS LIKE EVERY DAY CALLING
LIKE, "DO I NEED TO GET ON THE

TREADMILL?
LIKE ARE WE REALLY GOING BACK?
ARE WE SHOOTING AGAIN?

SO, WE ALL FELT REALLY GRATEFUL
TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND DO THE
SHOW, AND TO LISTEN TO LIVE

MUSIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
FOREVER.
IT'S DEFINITELY DIFFERENT.

BUT THERE WAS SOME REALLY NICE
THINGS ABOUT IT, I HAVE TO SAY
YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY INTIMATE

LIKE BETWEEN THE COACHES I FEEL
LIKE WE --
THERE'S NOBODY THERE

SO YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE THE
REALITY PART FEELS VERY RELAXED,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING

SO, THAT WAS REALLY FUN.
AND MAINLY JUST BEING AROUND THE
MUSIC IS SO INSPIRING.

ESPECIALLY DURING THESE TIMES,
YOU KNOW
AND MUSIC IS SO JOYFUL AND

INSPIRING AND YOU JUST -
THERE'S SO MUCH TALENT
SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY GREAT.

Seth: IT'S ALSO A REMINDER
THAT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY,
YOU'VE BECOME SUCCESSFUL AND

THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY BEHIND
MUSIC, BUT YOU CAN ALSO DO MUSIC
AT A REAL DIY LEVEL, WHICH, YOU

KNOW, YOU GUYS DID -- I KNOW YOU
DID FOR YEARS BEFORE YOUR BAND
HAD MAJOR SUCCESS BACK IN THE

DAY.
DO YOU REMEMBER BACK TO THOSE
DAYS AS YOU GO THROUGH THESE

TIMES?
YEAH, A LOT LATELY.
BECAUSE WE JUST HAD OUR, UM, I

HATE SAYING IT, BUT WE HAD OUR
25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE "TRAGIC
KINGDOM," WHICH WAS OUR FIRST

BIG COMMERCIAL ALBUM
SO I FEEL LIKE IT WAS LAST WEEK.
I WAS REALLY LIKE IN THE ZONE,

LIKE, "OH MY GOSH.
LIKE, I DIDN'T EVEN THINK I
WOULD CARE

LIKE, I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT
THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT WHEN YOU
WATCH EVERYONE POSTING, AND I

LOOK BACK TO HER, THAT OTHER
GIRL THAT WAS ME, BUT IS SORT
OF, LIKE, EVOLVED INTO THIS ONE,

I JUST THINK, "HOW?"
YOU KNOW
HOW DID WE DO IT BACK THEN

AND WE WERE ALREADY A BAND FOR
LIKE NINE YEARS BEFORE "JUST A
GIRL" CAME OUT

WE WERE PLAYING THAT SONG LIVE
FOR A YEAR BEFORE IT GOT ON THE
RADIO.

I THINK K-ROCK SAID IT WOULD
TAKE AN ACT OF GOD FOR THEM TO
PLAY IT ON THE RADIO, SO THERE

IS A GOD
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT

THE WAKE OF SONGS AND HOW
THEY'VE JUST TOUCHED EVERYONE.
EVERYBODY COMES TO ME ALL THE

TIME TELLING ME HOW THAT RECORD
REALLY WAS LIKE A BIG RECORD FOR
THEM, AND I JUST LOOK AT THE

SONGS, AND I'M LIKE, "THIS
RECORD WAS A WEIRD RECORD.
AND IT WAS SO MY STORY

SO, I'M JUST REALLY GRATEFUL,
REALLY GRATEFUL.
Seth: IT'S A -- I THINK THIS

IS RIGHT, WAS YOUR BROTHER THE
ONE WHO WAS BEHIND THE IDEA OF
DOING A SKA BAND

IS THAT WHO HAD THE IDEA FOR IT?
MY BROTHER WAS THE ONE THAT
DISCOVERED THIS BAND CALLED

MADNESS, WHICH WAS, YOU KNOW, A
SKA BAND
AND BASICALLY WHEN WE GOT INTO

MADNESS, IT GOT US INTO ALL THE
OTHER SKA BANDS THAT WERE
HAPPENING IN THE LATE 70s,

EARLY 80s.
WE WERE LIKE THE THIRD WAVE OF
THAT

AND DEFINITELY, LIKE, MY BROTHER
WAS THE ONE THAT WAS THE
SONGWRITER IN THE EARLY DAYS AND

TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW.
IT'S CRAZY, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN
MAKING NEW MUSIC MYSELF, WHICH

IS TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE,
LIKE, DIDN'T PLAN ON IT.
IN FACT, I HAD BEEN TEXTING

DURING THE PANDEMIC WITH
KELLY CLARKSON AND SHE WAS
SENDING ME SONGS AND I WAS LIKE,

WAIT A MINUTE, I'M LITERALLY
DOING 40 LOADS OF LAUNDRY A DAY,
I'M COOKING FOR 15 PEOPLE EVERY

NIGHT, THREE TIMES A DAY
HOW DO YOU HAVE TIME TO
ACTUALLY, LIKE, WRITE MUSIC

RIGHT NOW?
SHE'S LIKE, "OH, I JUST STAY UP
ALL NIGHT.

I'M LIKE, "I'M NOT DOING THAT.
SO, I WAS REALLY JEALOUS THAT
SHE WAS ACTUALLY MAKING NEW

MUSIC, AND I THOUGHT, "THAT'S
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN FOR ME,"
AND THEN I KIND OF PUSHED THE

BUTTON TO SEE IF IT WAS WORKING
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THESE
SONGS WERE LIKE COMING DOWN.

I'M LIKE, WHAT
SO, MY BROTHER ACTUALLY PLAYED
ON A SONG OF MINE THE OTHER DAY,

AND I WENT UP TO HIS HOUSE AND
IT WAS JUST LIKE THIS -- IT WAS
DURING THAT SAME WEEK OF ALL OF

THE NOSTALGIC "TRAGIC KINGDOM.
SO, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I
STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS BUT,

YES.
Seth: WELL IT IS NICE
I THINK IT'S VERY --

MY BROTHER IS LIKE MY BIGGEST
HERO
AND SO, HE'S AN AMAZING ARTIST

AND TALENT
Seth: I KNOW YOUR PARENTS
WERE REALLY SUPPORTIVE

WHAT WAS THEIR FIRST REACTION
TO, LIKE, THE "NO DOUBT" SOUND
WHEN THEY FIRST HEARD IT

MY PARENTS WERE REALLY
MUSICAL GROWING UP, AS WELL.
THEY WERE REALLY INTO FOLK AND

BLUEGRASS.
THEY USED TO TAKE US TO THESE
LIKE WEIRD FESTIVALS WHERE

PEOPLE WOULD LIKE STREAK AND
WEAR OVERALLS.
AND IT WAS JUST LIKE, VERY

HIPPIE WHEN WE WERE KIDS
THAT'S WHAT I REMEMBER
SO THERE WAS A LOT OF MUSIC IN

THE HOUSE.
MY DAD PLAYED GUITAR, PIANO.
BUT THEY WERE JUST ALWAYS SUPER

SUPPORTIVE
I MEAN, THEY LET US USE THE
GARAGE

AND THEN WHEN MY BROTHER
ACTUALLY MOVED OUT OF THE HOUSE,
HE MOVED INTO MY DAD'S HOUSE

THAT HE GREW UP IN, WHERE MY
GRANDPARENTS AFTER THEY PASSED
THAT WAS THE BAND HOUSE.

THAT WAS THE BEACON STREET HOUSE
THAT IS KIND OF FAMOUS NOW
YOU CAN GO BY AND SEE IT, IT'S

IN ANAHEIM, WHERE WE WROTE ALL
THE SONGS.
THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE SUPER,

VERY STRICT WITH ME.
SO, WHEN WE WOULD BE PLAYING UP
IN L.A. LIKE BACK IN THE DAY

AND, YOU KNOW, I LIVED AT HOME
UNTIL I WAS 26, BUT THEY WOULD
COME TO ALL THE SHOWS, BECAUSE

THEY NEEDED TO LIKE CHAPERONE
ME
THEY DIDN'T TRUST US

SO, I CAN REMEMBER THE FIRST
TIME WE PLAYED AT LIKE THE ROXY
AND THE WHISKEY, LIKE, THEY WERE

THERE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE
CAMERA, FILMING.
[ LAUGHTER ]

Seth: THAT IS -
I HAVE REALLY COOL PARENTS.
THEY'RE VERY WEIRD, IN A VERY

NORMAL WAY
I JUST FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE THAT
Seth: THAT'S GREAT.

THAT'S A LOVELY THING TO HEAR.
ANOTHER -- YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH HAPPENS IN

25 YEARS AND WHAT A WEIRD PATH
IT TAKES, YOU AND BLAKE JUST WON
A CMT AWARD.

WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU
WOULDN'T THINK LISTENING TO
"TRAGIC KINGDOM" THIS IS SOMEONE

IN 25 YEARS WHO WILL BE WINNING
AN AWARD FOR A COUNTRY SONG.
I STILL -

Seth: DOES IT FEEL SURREAL TO
YOU, TOO
WHEN YOU SAY THAT, I GET

SHOCKED.
AND I ALSO THINK ABOUT THIS A
LOT.

I LOVE TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH
MYSELF, WHERE I PICTURE MYSELF
IN MY "VOICE" CHAIR, RIGHT

BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW
BLAKE SHELTON EXISTED BEFORE I
WENT ON THAT SHOW.

MEANWHILE, HE'S LITERALLY LIKE
ONE OF THE BIGGEST -- YOU KNOW,
27 NUMBER ONE RADIO HITS, YOU

KNOW
HE'S INSANE.
SO, I JUST ALWAYS LIKE TO

PICTURE MYSELF AND THINK ABOUT
BEFORE I KNEW HIM, AND THAT
PERSON WHO I DIDN'T KNOW AT ALL,

AND THEN IMAGINE THAT NOW LIKE,
HE'S MY BOYFRIEND AND I WON A
SONG ON A COUNTRY --

LIKE, IT'S TOO HARD TO IMAGINE
LIKE, IT'S INCONCEIVABLE THAT WE
WOULD EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER AND

BE FRIENDS, LET ALONE DO MUSIC
TOGETHER
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S LIKE,

WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS THAT COME
TOGETHER AND WE'RE THE SAME.
EVEN WITH MUSIC.

SO, YEAH, BEING ON THOSE RECORDS
WERE SO MUCH FUN
THE COMMUNITY, THE WHOLE COUNTRY

COMMUNITY, WAS SO WELCOMING TO
ME AND THERE IS A LOT OF
CROSS-POLLINATION GOING ON IN

MUSIC, IN ALL DIFFERENT GENRES
I FEEL LIKE IN MY WHOLE CAREER,
I'VE BEEN, I DON'T KNOW WHY, SO

LUCKY, TO BE ABLE TO BOUNCE IN
DIFFERENT GENRES
AND, YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE DAY

BEING ON AN EVE TRACK, BEING ON
A MOBY TRACK, LIKE, IT'S JUST SO
INCREDIBLE BECAUSE MUSIC IS

SO -- IT BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER
IN SO MANY WAYS.
SO, SOMETIMES BOUNDARIES AND

GENRES DON'T REALLY MEAN
ANYTHING
IT'S REALLY ABOUT THE STORY, AND

THE SONG, AND THE HEART, AND THE
MESSAGE.
AND SO, I'VE JUST NOTICED THAT

BEING ABLE TO GO IN COUNTRY
MUSIC AND JUST GO TO CONCERTS
AND SEE BLAKE'S AUDIENCE, AND

IT'S JUST SO DIFFERENT, BUT YET,
SO THE SAME.
SO IT'S BEEN--

Seth: I WILL -- WITH THAT
SAID, I WOULD BE REALLY
IMPRESSED IF YOU COULD WIN A SKA

AWARD FOR BLAKE.
I THINK BLAKE IS LOOKING INTO
DOING A SKA RECORD NEXT.

AND I WAS GOING TO PRODUCE IT
AND WRITE IT
SO, WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES.

Seth: I KNOW YOU ALSO ARE
DOING SOME CHRISTMAS MUSIC AS
WELL

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A FUN SORT
OF DEPARTURE FROM THE NORM AS
WELL

THAT IS MY FAVORITE THING
I'VE EVER DONE, HONESTLY
IT SOUNDS CRAZY.

Seth: REALLY?
YEAH, BECAUSE THERE WAS
SOMETHING ABOUT WRITING A

CHRISTMAS RECORD, WHERE YOU
DIDN'T HAVE THE BOUNDARIES
LIKE, YOU COULD KIND OF BE

CHEESY OR LIKE YOU COULD WRITE
WITHIN A THEME
AND I NEVER REALLY DID THAT

BEFORE
THERE WAS LESS PRESSURE IN SOME
WAYS, BUT THEN WHEN I LOOK BACK

AT THE RECORD AND THE ORIGINAL
SONGS ON THE RECORD, THEY'RE
QUITE DEEP

LIKE, THERE'S A SONG ON THERE
THAT I WROTE ON BLAKE'S RANCH
THAT IS ALMOST, LIKE IT

LITERALLY WAS A SPIRITUAL MOMENT
WHERE I WAS RUNNING ON THE
RANCH.

AND, I SAID TO MYSELF, "I'M
GOING TO RUN, AND I'M GOING TO
PRAY, SO I'M GOING TO GET MY

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE AND MY
PHYSICAL EXERCISE AT THE SAME
TIME."

AND THIS SONG, JUST LIKE,
LITERALLY CAME THROUGH
I STARTED RUNNING BACK TO THE

RANCH TO GET MY PHONE, SO I
COULD LIKE, NOT FORGET IT.
AND, SO THAT RECORD IS REALLY

SPECIAL TO ME.
AND TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH --
I'M WORKING WITH HALLMARK

CHANNEL THIS SEASON, JUST OUT OF
NOWHERE THEY CALLED ME TO SING
ON A SONG THAT RYAN TEDDER

WROTE, AN ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS
SONG
AND THEN I GOT TO DO "SLEIGH

RIDE," WHICH IS A COVER, AND
THOSE GET ADDED TO MY RECORD
SO THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, AND

IT'S BEEN REALLY FUN TO WORK
WITH RYAN.
HE'S SO TALENTED

OH MY GOD.
HE RECORDED MY VOCALS.
SO, IT'S CHRISTMAS ALREADY, IN

MY HOUSE
Seth: WELL, I'M GLAD TO HEAR
IT

AND YOURS AS WELL, IF YOU
WATCH THE HALLMARK CHANNEL
Seth: WE'RE ALL LOOKING

FORWARD TO IT BEING IN ALL OF
OUR HOUSES
I KNOW.

Seth: IT SO GREAT TO SEE YOU
AS ALWAYS.
CONGRATS ON ANOTHER SEASON, AND

REALLY JUST, I HOPE TO SEE YOU
SOON
I MISS BEING IN NEW YORK.

I WANT TO COME BACK.
Seth: WE'D LIKE YOU TO COME
BACK

THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
Seth: NEW EPISODES OF "THE
VOICE" AIR MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS

AT 8:00 ON NBC
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
GIANCARLO ESPOSITO

*
Seth: REAL QUICK, YOU GUYS.
THIS IS VERY EXCITING.

WE DID A VERY POPULAR SEGMENT ON
OUR SHOW WHERE ANDY SAMBERG
PLAYED A RECENTLY DISTURBED

MUMMY.
AND DURING IT, ANDY SORT OF
INSISTED IT WAS SUCH A HIT THAT

HE SHOULD HAVE A FIGURE ON THE
DESK
AND TO THAT, WE GOT THIS GUY

RIGHT HERE
THIS ONE
AND THEN COLIN JOST MADE THIS

ONE FOR US
IT TOOK HIM A FULL MONTH TO MAKE
THIS

[ LAUGHTER ]
WHICH SEEMS -- EVEN AS I'M
TOUCHING IT, IT DOES NOT SEEM

STURDY OR WELL MADE.
BUT IT DOES HAVE, I THINK, THE
CATCH PHRASE THAT'S TAKEN

AMERICA BY STORM, "MY DOINK FELL
OFF.
[ LAUGHTER ]

YOU GUYS, I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT
THIS
OUR NEXT GUEST IS AN EMMY

NOMINATED ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM
SHOWS SUCH AS "BREAKING BAD" AND
"BETTER CALL SAUL" AND MOVIES

LIKE "DO THE RIGHT THING."
HE STARS IN "THE MANDALORIAN,"
WHICH BEGINS ITS SECOND SEASON

OCTOBER 30th ON DISNEY PLUS WITH
NEW EPISODES RELEASED EACH
FRIDAY

PLEASE WELCOME TO THE SHOW
GIANCARLO ESPOSITO
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE

OH, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME,
SETH
I'VE BEEN DYING TO BE ON YOUR

SHOW FOR A LONG TIME
I LOVE WHAT YOU DO
HAPPY TO BE HERE

Seth: I'VE BEEN A FAN OF
YOURS FOREVER AND HAVE ALSO BEEN
DYING TO HAVE YOU.

AND I KNOW RIGHT NOW YOU'RE
ACTUALLY IN NEW MEXICO
HOW IS IT TREATING YOU

IT'S TREATING ME VERY WELL.
I'VE HAD A GOOD TIME
DURING PANDEMIC I'VE BEEN ABLE

TO WORK FROM HOME, START A
GARDEN, HAVE A BUNCH OF FRESH
VEGETABLES

JUST IN CASE THE WORLD FALLS
APART, I'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO
EAT.

AND IT CERTAINLY IS
UNPREDICTABLE.
RIGHT NOW IT'S A BLIZZARD AND

SNOWING FURIOUSLY.
HOW ABOUT THAT
YOU MUST HAVE GREAT WEATHER IN

NEW YORK
I'M HAVING A BLIZZARD HERE IN
NEW MEXICO

Seth: WELL, YOU KNOW, I
ACTUALLY -- MY WIFE'S FROM
NEW MEXICO AND WE GO BACK EVERY

YEAR
AND I THINK FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW
THE SHOWS LIKE "BREAKING BAD"

AND "BETTER CALL SAUL", THAT'S
OFTEN THEIR ONLY CONNECTION TO
NEW MEXICO

AND I WOULD IMAGINE AFTER I
GUESS A DECADE OF WORKING THERE,
PEOPLE ARE PRETTY EXCITED TO SEE

YOU WALKING AROUND
THEY SURE ARE
I HAPPEN TO HAVE AN AFFINITY FOR

NEW MEXICO SINCE THE FIRST DAY I
CAME HERE.
I COULD FEEL A HIGHER ENERGY, A

HIGHER ELEVATION HAPPENING
ALSO IT'S THE CONFLUENCE OF, YOU
KNOW, WE HAVE KIRKLAND AIR FORCE

BASE HERE, WHICH YOU OF COURSE
KNOW, AND IT'S THE CONFLUENCE OF
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND

SPIRITUALITY
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THESE HIGH
MESAS WHERE THE INDIANS WORSHIP

AND WE HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT
KIND OF ELEMENTAL WIND CHANNELS
THAT COME THROUGH HERE, THE

BIGGEST BALLOONING TOWN IN THE
WHOLE WORLD BECAUSE OF THE BOX
CONSTRUCTION OF THE MOUNTAINS.

I HAVE FOUND IT VERY PEACEFUL
AND VERY FILLING TO BE HERE.
Seth: YOU HAVEN'T STAYED WITH

MY IN-LAWS
[ LAUGHTER ]
IF I WANTED TO AFTER THAT

Seth: SO -- BUT I DO WANT TO
SAY THIS, ANYBODY -- IF ANYONE
HAS EVER SEEN YOUR WORK AND NOW

THEY'RE SEEING YOU HERE, YOU'RE
OBVIOUSLY -- YOU'RE FULL OF
LIGHTNESS.

YOU'RE FULL OF OPTIMISM AND YET
YOU ARE SO GOOD AT PLAYING
VILLAINS

ARE PEOPLE SURPRISED WHEN THEY
MEET THE REAL GIANCARLO?
WHO AND WHAT IS THE REAL

GIANCARLO?
[ LAUGHTER ]
YES.

NO, PEOPLE -- YOU KNOW, LOOK,
I'VE GOT SO MANY STORIES ABOUT
PEOPLE MEETING ME ON THE STREET

AND THEY'RE AFRAID TO APPROACH
ME, ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE A VERY
STERN ATTITUDE

AND SO IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO
BE ON YOUR SHOW AND REVEAL WHO I
REALLY AM.

AND SOME PEOPLE ARE DISAPPOINTED
BY THAT.
BUT I HAVE A [ INDISCERNIBLE ]

THAT I ENJOY
AND IF YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED, IT'S
TOO BAD.

Seth: WE HAVE ENOUGH -- WE
HAVE ENOUGH VILLAINS
I THINK AN EXTRA NICE PERSON

IS -- YOU'RE ADDING VALUE TO THE
HUMAN RACE
WAS IT COOL WHEN YOU FOUND OUT

ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE IDEA OF
"BETTER CALL SAUL", WHICH
INITIALLY I DON'T THINK ANY OF

US NEW GUSTAVO WAS GOING TO BE
IN
WAS IT A COOL CHALLENGE AS AN

ACTOR TO GO AND PLAY YOURSELF IN
A PREQUEL KNOWING THAT BOTH YOU
AND THE AUDIENCE WAS AWARE OF

THE OUTCOME OF HOW THAT
CHARACTER WOULD END UP
IT TRULY WAS.

I HAD LONG CONVERSATIONS WITH
VINCE GILLIGAN ABOUT GOING BACK
AND I THOUGHT AFTER "BREAKING

BAD" I WAS ABSOLUTELY FINISHED
WITH THIS CHARACTER, BUT IT WAS
INTRIGUING TO ME TO THINK OF

GUSTAVO FRING, WHO WAS MORE
VULNERABLE, WHO WAS YEARS BEFORE
WE MET HIM IN "BREAKING BAD.

AND THE CHALLENGE FOR ME WAS TO
REMIND MYSELF THAT THAT'S WHO I
AM

I'M NOT THAT GUSTAVO OF OLD.
I'M THIS NEW GUSTAVO WHO IS MUCH
YOUNGER, MUCH MORE VIBRANT AND

MAYBE A LITTLE MORE ON EDGE THAN
THE GUSTAVO THAT YOU MEET IN
"BREAKING BAD.

MY FEELING IS THEY COULD BE
BOOKENDS
YOU KNOW, YOU COULD WATCH

"BETTER CALL SAUL" FIRST AND
THEN GO BACK AND WATCH "BREAKING
BAD" OR WATCH "BREAKING BAD" AND

THEN "BETTER CALL SAUL."
AND IF THEY FIT SEAMLESSLY, IF
YOU REALLY SEE THE CHARACTER

DEVELOP IN GROWTH, THEN WE'VE
DONE OUR JOB WELL.
SO FOR ME, IT'S BEEN SUCH A

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE TO BE A
PART OF A SHOW THAT'S NOT ONLY
ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON

TELEVISION BUT THAT IS AN
INVESTIGATION OF WHO WE ARE AS
HUMAN BEINGS

Seth: I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH.
AND I'VE BEEN SO IMPRESSED WITH
IT

WHEN I FIRST HEARD WHAT YOU GUYS
WERE SORT OF SETTING OUT TO DO,
I THOUGHT IT WAS SUCH A HIGH BAR

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE YOU -- YOU
JUST EXCEED IT EVERY WEEK.
WAS IT EXCITING TO THEN ALSO

JOIN THE "STAR WARS" UNIVERSE IN
"THE MANDALORIAN"?
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT, AS BIG A

FAN BASE AS "BREAKING BAD" HAD,
THIS IS A BIGGER ONE
IT CERTAINLY IS

I HAVE TO PINCH MYSELF THAT I'M
A PART OF THIS FRANCHISE BECAUSE
AS A YOUNG MAN, I WATCHED "STAR

WARS" AND I WAS TAKEN TO A
DIFFERENT GALAXY, A DIFFERENT
PLACE, YET I ACKNOWLEDGED AND

RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS SOME
MYTHOLOGICAL STORY BEING TOLD
HERE THAT I THOUGHT HAD

RELEVANCE AND MERIT TO MY LIFE
AND SO WHEN I GOT THE CALL FROM
JON FAVREAU TO DO THIS

PARTICULAR PART OF A MOFF,
GIDEON, I REALIZED OH, THIS WAS
AN OPPORTUNITY AND OF COURSE I

COULDN'T SAY NO.
JON'S A FRIEND
HE WROTE SOMETHING REALLY

FANTASTIC BUT MY INTRIGUE AND MY
INTEREST WAS REALLY PIQUED
BECAUSE OF THE RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN GEORGE LUCAS AND
JOSEPH CAMPBELL.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL WAS A WRITER WHO

WROTE A NUMBER OF BOOKS BUT ONE
IS "THE HERO'S JOURNEY."
WE CAME TO KNOW HIM THROUGH

BILL MOYERS' SHOW ABOUT HIS
MYTHOLOGY.
AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT, THE

SIMPLICITY ABOUT "MANDO" IS THAT
INSIDE OF ALL OF US WE WANT TO
BE CHILDREN AGAIN, WE WANT TO BE

UNJADED BUT WE WANT TO FEEL LIKE
WE ARE ALSO PART OF A HERO'S
JOURNEY.

AND SO I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT
TODAY IN OUR SOCIETY THAT I WANT
TO BE EMPOWERED BY YOU, SETH

I WANT TO BE EMPOWERED AND I
WANT TO EMPOWER YOU AS WELL TO
STAND UP AND HAVE THAT HERO

MENTALITY.
AND UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE IS A
JOURNEY AND WHAT WE LEARN FROM

IT AND WHAT WE RECEIVE FROM IT,
IF WE PASS IT AROUND IN A
CIRCLE, WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP A

DIFFERENT KIND OF SOCIETY THAN
WE EVER THOUGHT OR EVER IMAGINED
COULD EXIST.

SO I'M DIGGING THIS SHOW
I FEEL LIKE A KID IN A CANDY
SHOP

I MEAN, LOOK, SETH, I GET TO
WEAR A CAPE, MAN
[ LAUGHTER ]

Seth: YOU GET TO WEAR A CAPE
AND YOU KNOW, HALLOWEEN'S COMING
UP, AND THERE'S A CHANCE THAT

THERE'S HANDFUL OF PEOPLE OUT
THERE WHO ARE GONNA DRESS UP
LIKE YOUR CHARACTER.

BUT LET BE HONEST, I THINK WE'RE
GOING TO SEE A LOT OF BABY
YODA'S OUT THERE

IS YOUR EGO OKAY WITH THE FACT
THAT BABY YODA IS THE RUNAWAY
STAR OF THE SHOW

I HAVE TO SAY MY EGO IS MORE
THAN OKAY WITH IT BECAUSE I
CALLED IT, YOU KNOW, ON THE SET

FOR THE FIRST SEASON AFTER I
FIRST SAW THE CHILD, POP
CULTURE, WE CALL HIM BABY YODA,

ON THE SET WE CALL THAT
PARTICULAR CHILD THE ASSET
WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS, I WENT,

"THIS IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW.
AND I SAID, "GIANCARLO, SIT
BACK, RELAX, TRY TO GET IT."

I SAID TO JON FAVREAU, "I WANT
ALL MY SCENES WITH BABY YODA
I DON'T CARE!"

Seth: WELL, YOU DEFINITELY
CALLED IT.
YOU WERE DEFINITELY RIGHT.

IT IS SUCH A PLEASURE TO MEET
YOU AND SPEAK WITH YOU
ENJOY NEW MEXICO AND HOPEFULLY

WE'LL SEE YOU SOON
THANK YOU SO MUCH, SETH
WHAT A PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH

YOU.
