I'm jimmy. 11 00:00:58,259 --> 00:00:59,491 Thanks for watching. Thank you for joining us. 12 00:00:59,527 --> 00:01:07,699 After the aftermath of the mess our president and his army of 13 00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:10,502 d-imbeciles made of our country. Yesterday was a day we will 14 00:01:10,538 --> 00:01:11,336 never forget. We saw confederate flags being 15 00:01:11,372 --> 00:01:12,404 waved in the chamber of the senate. 16 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,476 Pipe bombs were found near the capitol building. 17 00:01:17,511 --> 00:01:18,844 Molotov cocktails too. The maga maggots were urinating 18 00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:23,048 in the offices of congress. The kind of behavior that 19 00:01:23,084 --> 00:01:25,918 wouldn't be tolerated at a gathering of the juggalos, went 20 00:01:25,953 --> 00:01:28,520 on at the direction of our con artist in chief. 21 00:01:28,556 --> 00:01:33,559 Congress reconvened last night. They stayed up late to 22 00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,294 officially certify joe biden as our next president, despite 23 00:01:35,329 --> 00:01:39,465 objections from a number of despicables in the house and 24 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,301 senate, who are still hitching their sad little wagons to 25 00:01:42,336 --> 00:01:44,436 donald trump. I've been watching the news and 26 00:01:44,472 --> 00:01:47,706 these "experts" keep saying "history will not look back 27 00:01:47,741 --> 00:01:51,977 kindly" on the politicians who continue with this charade. 28 00:01:52,012 --> 00:01:55,714 As if these people care about history. 29 00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:56,982 Those people don't even care about climate change. 30 00:01:57,017 --> 00:02:00,886 At this rate, we'll be lucky if we even have a history. 31 00:02:00,921 --> 00:02:02,054 For them to be ashamed of. I've heard a lot of people say a 32 00:02:02,089 --> 00:02:05,457 lot over the last 36 hours. But none of them summed this 33 00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:08,994 whole thing up better than this unidentified gentleman in 34 00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:15,067 washington, who had some very wise words from his stoop. 35 00:02:15,102 --> 00:02:19,171 >> get the [ bleep ] out of town! 36 00:02:19,206 --> 00:02:22,474 [ bleep ], [ bleep ]! >> jimmy: Give that guy a 37 00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:24,710 cabinet position, will you? Last night marked the end of the 38 00:02:24,745 --> 00:02:28,614 longtime romance between donald trump and his golden 39 00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,716 graham, lindsey, who used his time before the senate to issue 40 00:02:30,751 --> 00:02:38,290 a very public breakup. >> I cannot convince people, 41 00:02:38,325 --> 00:02:43,295 certain groups, by my words, but I will tell you by my actions. 42 00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:46,698 That maybe I among -- above all others in this body need to say 43 00:02:46,734 --> 00:02:53,172 this. Joe biden and kamala harris are 44 00:02:53,207 --> 00:02:55,941 lawfully elected and will become the president and the vice 45 00:02:55,976 --> 00:03:01,580 president of the united states on January the 20th. 46 00:03:01,615 --> 00:03:03,615 >> jimmy: Lindsey graham said he and trump "had a hell of a 47 00:03:03,651 --> 00:03:07,719 journey" but "enough is enough." and he decided not to give him 48 00:03:07,755 --> 00:03:10,856 the final rose. That was something to watch. 49 00:03:10,891 --> 00:03:14,860 I want to commend senator graham for this courageous act, two 50 00:03:14,895 --> 00:03:17,896 weeks after he called to try to get the georgia secretary of 51 00:03:17,932 --> 00:03:20,098 state to change the election results. 52 00:03:20,134 --> 00:03:23,735 Now he's appalled. But heroes come in many forms. 53 00:03:23,771 --> 00:03:25,938 Last night was trump's worst nightmare. 54 00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:28,207 The vice poodle is off the leash. 55 00:03:28,242 --> 00:03:31,677 I would hate to have been mike pence's juice box last 56 00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:36,014 night. The vp is poed. 57 00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:38,083 One of his longtime pals in the senate, senator jim inhofe, said 58 00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:41,086 he's never seen pence as mad as he was yesterday. 59 00:03:41,121 --> 00:03:44,289 They say mike pence hasn't been this angry since the night they 60 00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:46,425 picked "footloose" as the in-flight movie on air force 61 00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:49,294 two. Today we learned that pence is 62 00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:51,230 even planning to go to biden's inauguration. 63 00:03:51,265 --> 00:03:54,600 Of course he's planning to go to biden's inauguration. 64 00:03:54,635 --> 00:03:59,204 It's one last chance to do what he does best. 65 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,708 Sit there and stare at the back of a president's head. 66 00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:04,243 This rift between pence and trump, this is a tough one. 67 00:04:04,278 --> 00:04:11,149 And not just for them, a split like this is also very awko-taco 68 00:04:11,185 --> 00:04:15,320 for their fox and friends. >> I hope it doesn't taint the 69 00:04:15,356 --> 00:04:17,055 relationship because they've been such supporters of each 70 00:04:17,091 --> 00:04:21,093 other and been a good team -- >> how can it be good after 71 00:04:21,128 --> 00:04:23,295 that? >> I'm sure it won't be, but I 72 00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:26,164 hope the president will be able to forgive him because mike 73 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,399 pence is such a stellar individual. 74 00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:33,071 >> jimmy: Gosh, I hope so too. Give me a second, I'm going to 75 00:04:33,107 --> 00:04:34,339 pray for them. Okay, I'm done. 76 00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:36,475 I really hope the president will forgive him for not breaking the 77 00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:37,643 law on his behalf. Unless pence visits trump in 78 00:04:37,678 --> 00:04:40,379 prison, those two will never see each other again. 79 00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:43,682 Mike pence is headed back to indiana to take a long hot 80 00:04:43,717 --> 00:04:50,722 shower in his swim trunks. The west wing is in absolute 81 00:04:50,758 --> 00:04:52,224 chaos right now. There is said to be "anger and 82 00:04:52,259 --> 00:04:57,462 consternation" among white house staffers, who were suddenly 83 00:04:57,498 --> 00:05:00,198 appalled by their boss' appalling behavior. 84 00:05:00,234 --> 00:05:01,600 Trump was said to be "borderline enthusiastic" as he watched the 85 00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:04,303 violence unfold. I don't know about enthusiastic, 86 00:05:04,338 --> 00:05:08,373 but he's definitely borderline. And today, with all this going 87 00:05:08,409 --> 00:05:14,012 on, with five people dead as a result of the riot he started, 88 00:05:14,048 --> 00:05:16,615 including a police officer, with impeachment proceedings brew, 89 00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:20,619 with a pandemic raging, with some of his own insiders calling 90 00:05:20,654 --> 00:05:23,455 for his head, donald trump spent a chunk of his day today 91 00:05:23,490 --> 00:05:26,925 awarding the presidential medal of freedom to golfers gary 92 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,530 player and annika sorenstam. And those two idiots showed up 93 00:05:31,565 --> 00:05:33,131 to accept them. The resignations are piling up, 94 00:05:33,167 --> 00:05:38,203 transportation secretary and wife of mitch mcconnell, 95 00:05:38,238 --> 00:05:42,274 elaine chao, resigned. The deputy national security 96 00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:44,776 adviser resigned. The first lady's chief of staff. 97 00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:45,911 The white house social secretary. 98 00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:52,184 The deputy press secretary. Even slick mick mulvaney is 99 00:05:52,219 --> 00:05:53,218 calling it quits. They did not see this coming. 100 00:05:53,253 --> 00:05:54,453 They're not-sees. Trump's former attorney general 101 00:05:54,488 --> 00:05:56,254 bill barr said "orchestrating a mob to pressure congress is 102 00:05:56,290 --> 00:06:00,359 inexcusable." it is "a betrayal of his office 103 00:06:00,394 --> 00:06:03,695 and supporters." usually when there's a trump 104 00:06:03,731 --> 00:06:08,567 betrayal, a pornstar gets to pay off her credit card debt. 105 00:06:08,602 --> 00:06:11,737 Trump's former national security adviser john bolton said trump 106 00:06:11,772 --> 00:06:14,406 "has blood on his hands." trump's former chief of staff 107 00:06:14,441 --> 00:06:18,910 john kelly told jake tapper today, he thinks they should 108 00:06:18,946 --> 00:06:22,280 invoke the 25th amendment and remove the president from 109 00:06:22,316 --> 00:06:23,348 office. Which is a sentiment shared by 110 00:06:23,384 --> 00:06:26,651 republican congressman adam kinzinger of illinois. 111 00:06:26,687 --> 00:06:31,656 >> the president is unfit, and the president is unwell. 112 00:06:31,692 --> 00:06:35,260 And the president must now relinquish control of the 113 00:06:35,295 --> 00:06:37,095 executive branch, voluntarily or involuntarily. 114 00:06:37,131 --> 00:06:39,965 >> jimmy: Come on, he's not unfit, he's just big boned. 115 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,501 I love that these people are just now realizing that man is 116 00:06:42,536 --> 00:06:43,602 not fit to be president. Have you never seen his 117 00:06:43,637 --> 00:06:46,571 pizza hut commercials? But the end of this nonsense is 118 00:06:46,607 --> 00:06:48,907 near. We have 13 days of trump to go, 119 00:06:48,942 --> 00:06:52,611 possibly less. Nancy pelosi today said if his 120 00:06:52,646 --> 00:06:55,013 cabinet won't give him the boot, the house may have to impeach 121 00:06:55,048 --> 00:06:58,817 him again. She and chuck schumer tried to 122 00:06:58,852 --> 00:07:04,256 get mike pence on the phone to suggest invoking the 123 00:07:04,291 --> 00:07:05,891 25th amendment. The vice president has to 124 00:07:05,926 --> 00:07:08,727 initiate that. But pence left them on hold for 125 00:07:08,762 --> 00:07:09,928 25 minutes and then refused to pick up. 126 00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:12,364 But trump is definitely shaken. President evil released a 127 00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:14,099 statement in the middle of the night last night. 128 00:07:14,134 --> 00:07:16,501 "even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the 129 00:07:16,537 --> 00:07:21,873 election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless, there will be 130 00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:23,809 an orderly transition on January 20th." 131 00:07:23,844 --> 00:07:26,111 that's reassuring. That's like hearing godzilla 132 00:07:26,146 --> 00:07:28,480 say, "don't worry, I'm gonna swim home." 133 00:07:28,515 --> 00:07:32,551 trump was suspended by twitter and blocked by facebook and 134 00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:36,488 instagram too. He's still on match.Com. 135 00:07:36,523 --> 00:07:38,023 But this is the capper. This is how we know we're going 136 00:07:38,058 --> 00:07:41,359 to have to live in this flat earth society for a while. 137 00:07:41,395 --> 00:07:42,627 Some of the wingnuts on the far right are trying to float the 138 00:07:42,663 --> 00:07:46,865 idea that the mob who attacked the capitol building yesterday 139 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,702 was infiltrated by members of antifa. 140 00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:53,705 >> now there were likely not all trump supporters, and there are 141 00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:57,742 some reports that antifa sympathizers may have been 142 00:07:57,778 --> 00:08:00,412 sprinkled throughout the crowd. >> some of the people who 143 00:08:00,447 --> 00:08:04,483 breached the capitol today were not trump supporters, they were 144 00:08:04,518 --> 00:08:07,352 masquerading as trump supporters, and in fact, were 145 00:08:07,387 --> 00:08:10,121 members of the violent terrorist group antifa. 146 00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:13,758 >> there were probably some undercover antifa that dressed 147 00:08:13,794 --> 00:08:17,095 as trump people, and you know, did some damage to windows. 148 00:08:17,130 --> 00:08:18,563 >> there was some people with ropes. 149 00:08:18,599 --> 00:08:22,100 That's an antifa tactic. >> there was some intelligence 150 00:08:22,135 --> 00:08:26,671 received prior to today that antifa was going to try to 151 00:08:26,707 --> 00:08:34,913 impersonate trump supporters and attack the capitol. 152 00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:35,914 >> antifa, could be involved in all of this. 153 00:08:35,949 --> 00:08:38,049 >> it clearly looks like antifa people to me. 154 00:08:38,085 --> 00:08:41,520 >> we have credible reports antifa was very much involved. 155 00:08:41,555 --> 00:08:45,290 >> keep in mind, we don't know who all were the instigators in 156 00:08:45,325 --> 00:08:47,559 this, of these horrible things that happened today. 157 00:08:47,594 --> 00:08:51,496 I think a lot of it is the antifa folks. 158 00:08:51,532 --> 00:08:54,499 >> jimmy: Oh, god. Where did she -- shut up, sarah 159 00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:58,503 palin, crawl back in your igloo and seal the hole shut with 160 00:08:58,539 --> 00:08:59,938 snow. Here are some of the 161 00:08:59,973 --> 00:09:03,041 infiltrators from the left. Who are masquerading. 162 00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:04,676 There's a group of free trade coffee roasters from portland. 163 00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:08,346 These organic quinoa farmers are waiting in line for kombucha. 164 00:09:08,382 --> 00:09:10,615 We spent the afternoon doing some research into this, and I 165 00:09:10,651 --> 00:09:14,152 have to be honest, there might be something to this. 166 00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:15,787 Let's take a look at some of the more notable characters from the 167 00:09:15,822 --> 00:09:19,758 insurrection. Starting with this member of the 168 00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:22,227 flintstones' loyal order of water buffalo, he goes by the 169 00:09:22,262 --> 00:09:28,967 name "q shaman," but his real name is jake angeli. 170 00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:31,536 He is an actor, voiceover artist, and actually a very 171 00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:34,205 talented person. >> yeah! 172 00:09:34,241 --> 00:09:39,277 Thank you, president trump! Whoo! 173 00:09:39,313 --> 00:09:45,584 Thank you, q! America! 174 00:09:45,619 --> 00:09:51,756 >> jimmy: Look out fella, you might get shot by don jr. In 175 00:09:51,792 --> 00:09:53,491 that outfit. So he's antifa. 176 00:09:53,527 --> 00:09:55,760 Then there's this guy. His name is adam johnson. 177 00:09:55,796 --> 00:09:59,497 He was photographed walking around with the speaker's 178 00:09:59,533 --> 00:10:00,632 podium. He lives in florida, shocker, 179 00:10:00,667 --> 00:10:03,068 where he makes furniture. So maybe he was just admiring 180 00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:04,402 the woodwork? I don't know. 181 00:10:04,438 --> 00:10:05,870 Either way, his disguise is great. 182 00:10:05,906 --> 00:10:11,343 You'd never know he was antifa. This colorful bag of scum is 183 00:10:11,378 --> 00:10:13,511 richard "bigo" barnett, he's the guy who put his feet on 184 00:10:13,547 --> 00:10:17,115 nancy pelosi's desk and stole her mail. 185 00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:23,388 He works with an antifa cell in arkansas, very big antifa in 186 00:10:23,423 --> 00:10:24,556 arkansas.

It says he's a trump supporter 188 00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:32,464 and gun advocate for months been railing about the stolen 189 00:10:32,499 --> 00:10:34,799 election, complaining about masks, and he's quote not afraid 190 00:10:34,835 --> 00:10:37,969 to go out of this world kicking and screaming covered in someone 191 00:10:38,005 --> 00:10:41,673 else's blood.

Then there's this dude, code 197 00:11:01,395 --> 00:11:03,328 name baked alaska, who broke into a senate office and then 198 00:11:03,363 --> 00:11:05,630 didn't know what to do, so he pretended to talk on the phone. 199 00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:09,467 The "new york post" has identified him as a well-known 200 00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:11,670 white nationalist named tim gionet. 201 00:11:11,705 --> 00:11:14,773 Tim was bright enough to livestream his crime. 202 00:11:14,808 --> 00:11:15,740 >> america first!

Perhaps most interestingly, we 211 00:11:45,806 --> 00:11:47,672 have this undercover antifa who stormed the capitol shouting -- 212 00:11:47,708 --> 00:11:51,743 >> trump! Yes! 213 00:11:51,778 --> 00:11:59,017 We're going in!

Maga, antifa. 220 00:12:20,707 --> 00:12:22,607 What are the odds he pardons these animals before this goes 221 00:12:22,642 --> 00:12:23,775 out? This is good. 222 00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:30,682 There were light moments. One of the patriots who barged 223 00:12:30,717 --> 00:12:34,652 into the capitol got a nice souvenir, a faceful of mace, and 224 00:12:34,688 --> 00:12:36,855 didn't seem to understand why. >> what happened? 225 00:12:36,890 --> 00:12:38,923 You were trying to go into the capitol? 226 00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:41,760 >> yeah, I got a foot inside, and they pushed my out and maced 227 00:12:41,795 --> 00:12:43,261 me. >> what is your name? 228 00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:44,496 >> alyssa from knoxville, tennessee. 229 00:12:44,531 --> 00:12:49,968 >> why did you want to go in? >> we're storming the capitol, 230 00:12:50,003 --> 00:12:53,671 it's a revolution! >> jimmy: Yeah come on, dude, 231 00:12:53,707 --> 00:12:57,108 it's a revolution. I like that she wore her piano 232 00:12:57,144 --> 00:12:59,410 scarf to the revolution. The president's antics this week 233 00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:05,116 remind me of -- a lot of people think this is a poem, they're 234 00:13:05,152 --> 00:13:08,086 actually song lyrics that trump read many times on the campaign 235 00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:11,723 trail. It's a piece called "the snake." 236 00:13:11,758 --> 00:13:15,760 it's about a woman who finds a half-frozen snake on the ground, 237 00:13:15,796 --> 00:13:17,428 rescues it, then it bites her. Trump turned it into a metaphor, 238 00:13:17,464 --> 00:13:19,130 to warn us about immigrants. Remember that wall he was gonna 239 00:13:19,166 --> 00:13:22,100 build? Yeah. 240 00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:24,402 Anyway. But now that we're thankfully 241 00:13:24,437 --> 00:13:25,870 coming to the end of this, the snake, to me, feels like it has 242 00:13:25,906 --> 00:13:32,544 an all-new meaning. >> so I read this the other day, 243 00:13:32,579 --> 00:13:34,946 and I said, wow. That's really amazing. 244 00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:40,618 That's really incredible. And it's the snake lyric. 245 00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:46,758 On her way to work one morning, down the path along the lake a 246 00:13:46,793 --> 00:13:52,463 tender hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake. 247 00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:56,668 Thank you very much. His pretty colored skin had been 248 00:13:56,703 --> 00:14:00,638 all frosted with the dew. Oh, well, she cried, I'll take 249 00:14:00,674 --> 00:14:03,374 you in and I'll take care of you. 250 00:14:03,410 --> 00:14:10,515 She stroked his pretty skin, and then she kissed and held him 251 00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:14,252 tight. But instead of saying thank you, 252 00:14:14,287 --> 00:14:17,789 that snake gave her a vicious bite. 253 00:14:17,824 --> 00:14:23,561 I saved you, cried the woman, and you've bit me, heavens why? 254 00:14:23,597 --> 00:14:28,266 You know your bite is poisonous, and now I'm going to die. 255 00:14:28,301 --> 00:14:30,802 >> count me out, enough is enough. 256 00:14:30,837 --> 00:14:35,373 >> oh, shut up, silly woman, said the reptile with a grin. 257 00:14:35,408 --> 00:14:41,846 You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in. 258 00:14:41,882 --> 00:14:48,753 Does that make sense to anybody?

So, you know, it was really 555 00:30:36,569 --> 00:30:37,534 romantic. >> jimmy: That's how it goes. 556 00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:41,638 Yeah, you guys have been married for a long time. 557 00:30:41,674 --> 00:30:43,740 I didn't realize that. >> I know, yeah. 558 00:30:43,776 --> 00:30:44,808 In hollywood years that's like 300. 559 00:30:44,844 --> 00:30:47,878 >> jimmy: How did you find the voting experience? 560 00:30:47,913 --> 00:30:49,346 Was it strange for you? Do we do it wrong? 561 00:30:49,381 --> 00:30:52,816 >> no, you do it exactly right.

And this country's been really 565 00:31:08,567 --> 00:31:11,535 good to me. And I -- it was great to sort of 566 00:31:11,570 --> 00:31:16,974 take part in it, you know, as a citizen, take part in this. 567 00:31:17,009 --> 00:31:20,010 >> jimmy: I'm glad you did. You know, I hope that we soon 568 00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:27,918 can get back to a time where we're the things we're most 569 00:31:27,953 --> 00:31:32,122 moved by are like ""avengers: End game"" and which heroes got 570 00:31:32,157 --> 00:31:33,390 killed.

I'm like, oh! 583 00:32:23,842 --> 00:32:25,842 All right, okay. >> jimmy: So this tv show, and I 584 00:32:25,878 --> 00:32:27,577 know you can't say a ton about it. 585 00:32:27,613 --> 00:32:29,780 What can you say about it? Legally? 586 00:32:29,815 --> 00:32:37,587 >> it's about -- it's about two superheroes who find themselves 587 00:32:37,623 --> 00:32:43,193 in 1950 suburbia, and then start hurtling through the american 588 00:32:43,228 --> 00:32:47,898 century at breakneck speed and begin to wonder what's going on 589 00:32:47,933 --> 00:32:50,067 in this town because it can't be right. 590 00:32:50,102 --> 00:32:52,369 I mean, that can't be right. >> jimmy: I know they have 591 00:32:52,404 --> 00:32:55,772 sitcoms and all the stuff that we have over in England, but 592 00:32:55,808 --> 00:33:00,310 specifically the sitcoms -- it's an interesting idea, you guys 593 00:33:00,346 --> 00:33:06,116 have each decade, a classic sitcom is represented is kind of 594 00:33:06,151 --> 00:33:08,018 the model for your show. >> correct. 595 00:33:08,053 --> 00:33:11,221 >> jimmy: Starting with the '50s, right? 596 00:33:11,256 --> 00:33:13,190 Starting with -- >> dick van dyke. 597 00:33:13,225 --> 00:33:17,294 >> jimmy: Did you know "the dick van dyke show"? 598 00:33:17,329 --> 00:33:22,599 >> you know, I did. Saturday mornings and Sunday 599 00:33:22,634 --> 00:33:25,469 mornings were given over to american cultural imperialism. 600 00:33:25,504 --> 00:33:28,038 >> jimmy: Wow. >> I totally fell in love with 601 00:33:28,073 --> 00:33:31,008 america through watching these shows, yes. 602 00:33:31,043 --> 00:33:32,976 "brady bunch," "I love lucy," "bewitched." 603 00:33:33,012 --> 00:33:36,213 I grew up on those shows too. >> jimmy: Wow, that's 604 00:33:36,248 --> 00:33:38,949 interesting. Here, over here, we watched 605 00:33:38,984 --> 00:33:40,584 cartoons on Saturday and Sunday morning. 606 00:33:40,619 --> 00:33:41,852 >> right. >> jimmy: That was the thing. 607 00:33:41,887 --> 00:33:45,956 And then, if you were lucky, you could find the british sitcoms 608 00:33:45,991 --> 00:33:49,359 late at night on your local syndicated channel. 609 00:33:49,395 --> 00:33:53,964 >> oh, really? >> jimmy: "faulty towers." 610 00:33:53,999 --> 00:33:56,733 "the black adder." that kind of stuff. 611 00:33:56,769 --> 00:34:09,312 >> "blacked aeradder" is genius >> jimmy: You shot these in 612 00:34:09,348 --> 00:34:13,283 front of a live studio audience, as they did in that time? 613 00:34:13,318 --> 00:34:14,551 >> that's right. And I was terrified. 614 00:34:14,586 --> 00:34:18,055 We shot the first episode in two days, which is how they would 615 00:34:18,090 --> 00:34:20,690 have shot it. Then we come back in front of 616 00:34:20,726 --> 00:34:24,327 the audience, then we come back for pickup shots and specials. 617 00:34:24,363 --> 00:34:29,933 And it was terrifying. I hadn't been on stage in 20 618 00:34:29,968 --> 00:34:36,339 years. But it was just so thrilling. 619 00:34:36,375 --> 00:34:39,209 And I realized I'd wasted my entire career and I should have 620 00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:42,946 been in sitcoms my whole life, and I loved it. 621 00:34:42,981 --> 00:34:46,416 It really reminded me of being on the stage. 622 00:34:46,452 --> 00:34:50,720 The last time I was on the stage was with matthew rhys. 623 00:34:50,756 --> 00:34:56,693 And we were in a play together called "one more wasted year." 624 00:34:56,728 --> 00:34:58,495 and I remember nothing of what happened in that play. 625 00:34:58,530 --> 00:35:03,667 But I do remember the reviews, which were cruel. 626 00:35:03,702 --> 00:35:04,868 Probably because I can't remember what happened in the 627 00:35:04,903 --> 00:35:09,139 show, let's be honest. And I remember one night matthew 628 00:35:09,174 --> 00:35:13,610 and I were leaving the theater, and we heard an audience member 629 00:35:13,645 --> 00:35:18,815 say "one more wasted year? One more wasted evening, more 630 00:35:18,851 --> 00:35:22,919 like." and that was the night I tried 631 00:35:22,955 --> 00:35:27,023 to outthink a welchman, which you should never try to do. 632 00:35:27,059 --> 00:35:28,358 >> jimmy: Good tip, I didn't know that. 633 00:35:28,393 --> 00:35:30,060 You had the studio audience there. 634 00:35:30,095 --> 00:35:32,462 I think that's interesting. I'm trying to piece together 635 00:35:32,498 --> 00:35:35,265 what's going on. Marvel would not let me see a 636 00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:38,668 screener of the show, even though I work for the company 637 00:35:38,704 --> 00:35:42,506 and presumably can be trusted. But apparently I cannot. 638 00:35:42,541 --> 00:35:47,144 And I wanted one so that I knew what was going on. 639 00:35:47,179 --> 00:35:48,612 I had you and elizabeth on the show this week. 640 00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:55,585 Yet they let a room full of strangers, I assume, watch the 641 00:35:55,621 --> 00:36:00,157 screening of the show? >> I think it was a friends and 642 00:36:00,192 --> 00:36:01,124 family kind of. >> jimmy: Friends and family? 643 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:08,131 I'm an employee! Friends and family they could 644 00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:09,332 trust? Yeah, I know. 645 00:36:09,368 --> 00:36:12,903 I am going to take it up with them. 646 00:36:12,938 --> 00:36:17,507 My theory is that what happens during the sitcom portion of 647 00:36:17,543 --> 00:36:20,977 this show is not the entirety of the show, and -- 648 00:36:21,013 --> 00:36:23,647 >> that's 100% correct. >> jimmy: Oh, that is, really? 649 00:36:23,682 --> 00:36:29,786 >> uh-huh. That's 100% correct. 650 00:36:29,821 --> 00:36:33,890 We -- we hurtle through the decades. 651 00:36:33,926 --> 00:36:39,996 And we hit different genres of sitcoms. 652 00:36:40,032 --> 00:36:44,367 And then vision begins to think that this is getting a little 653 00:36:44,403 --> 00:36:50,273 weird, you know. And in the end, you end up in 654 00:36:50,309 --> 00:36:54,377 full mcu -- >> jimmy: I love this, I feel 655 00:36:54,413 --> 00:36:56,613 you've said too much already and I love it. 656 00:36:56,648 --> 00:36:59,616 I appreciate that you've given me more than kevin did. 657 00:36:59,651 --> 00:37:03,987 It's great to see you. Stay safe, stay healthy. 658 00:37:04,022 --> 00:37:06,623 "wandavision" premieres a week from tomorrow on disney plus. 659 00:37:06,658 --> 00:37:09,359 Paul bettany, everybody!
