-First of all, congrats.
-
You're gonna be a first-time dad.
-
-Oh, my God, yeah. -This is a big deal.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
-It's great. -Well, where are you?
-
Where's your head right now? Where's your headspace?
-
-I don't have -- I'm not having any of the freak-outs
-
or the nervousness that everyone tells me I should be having.
-
-Yeah. -All I am is excited.
-
-Yeah. -And we're about
-
5, 6 weeks away. Something like that.
-
-Wow. Are you -- -But now that I'm, like,
-
on national television, maybe I am freaking out a little bit.
-
[ Laughter ] -That's right.
-
Sorry about that. -Sort of in real time,
-
I'm like, "Actually, wait. I should be nervous."
-
We are not ready at all.
-
We have a friend of a friend that loaned us a crib,
-
and that's all we have.
-
We have not planned a baby shower.
-
We don't know what we're doing. We are wildly unprepared.
-
I think I am freaking out. -I'm sorry about that.
-
I don't want -- Here's some water right here.
-
I don't want you to freak out. But it is a --
-
It's kind of fun when you have your first child,
-
if you're lucky enough to have a baby.
-
But it's fun that everyone gives you advice.
-
-Yeah. -And everyone gives you books.
-
They give you things.
-
They go, "Don't have them sleep on this type of mattress."
-
-Yeah. -"Don't use these nipples.
-
Use this thing." -I know.
-
-"They're environmentally safe. Use glass --"
-
I go, "Please, just leave me alone.
-
It's my baby." -There's so much.
-
And we're taking these classes. There's --
-
Tonight, after this, I'm doing the third class
-
in the last four days where you just get about
-
a hundred pieces of information in an hour,
-
and I don't know what to do with it.
-
-You have to get your license to have a baby.
-
Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-
-Yesterday, we did what was like the baby prep class.
-
And the way we started is, we went around the room,
-
and all you had to do was say your name
-
and how much experience you have with a newborn,
-
like changing diapers or holding babies.
-
Like, just that.
-
So it goes around, it comes to me,
-
and I'm like, "Hi. I'm Kieran.
-
I've held some newborns, friends of mine,
-
and when I was a little kid, I probably helped my mom
-
with diapers and stuff.
-
And I remember holding my little brother Rory."
-
And then, I turn to my wife,
-
and she goes "Hi. I'm Jazz. I hate babies,
-
and I'm terrified of them so I never hold them."
-
[ Laughter ] -Oh, my God!
-
Enh! Wrong answer.
-
"Okay. Let's try it again, Jazz."
-
-What I love about that is that
-
I know she's so happy being pregnant,
-
and she loves this baby.
-
But what she basically said to the room is,
-
"I love my child, but I'm going to hate all of yours."
-
[ Laughter ]
-
"Anyway, next?" -She's gonna see --
-
You start loving every baby. -I -- Well, maybe.
-
-You do.
-
-I took one look at her when she said that, too,
-
and I was like, "I've never been more in love
-
with anybody in my life." -Yeah, that's true.
-
Yeah. Very good.
-
My advice to you is, don't take anyone's advice.
-
Just go -- -That's the best advice.
-
-Just go and -- It'll all work out.
-
It's great. And no spoilers.
-
No spoilers for you. -Thank you.
-
-Let's talk about "Succession." -Okay.
-
-This is a giant -- Yeah, we got one "whoo."
-
Yeah. -One person saw the show.
-
It's great. -That's good.
-
-And a bunch of liars.
-
-People are obsessed with the show.
-
Did you know it was gonna be a hit when you first did it?
-
-Absolutely not, no. But I never know that.
-
It's weird for me doing a TV show.
-
This the first time I've ever done that,
-
and I've been doing this for 29, 30 years,
-
which is sort of weird to say.
-
I hope that didn't come off as obnoxious, but who cares?
-
[ Laughter ]
-
Usually, whenever I do a job, I don't usually care
-
what the perception of it is gonna be,
-
because I'm just like, "I did my part.
-
However people like it is none of my business."
-
Now I'm a little bit like, "I hope people like it,
-
'cause I want to keep doing it." -Yeah.
-
-So, the fact that people have been liking the show
-
actually feels really nice. It's good.
-
-But, I mean, it's bizarre that people like these characters,
-
'cause they're awful people.
-
-I'm not sure that they like the characters.
-
They kind of -- There's something about them.
-
They just want to watch them
-
and maybe watch them fail or something.
-
-It's like watching "Dancing With the Stars."
-
You're like... [ Laughter ]
-
...kind of rooting for them but kind of hoping they're bad.
-
You know? Yeah. -I get multiple times --
-
And I think that they all think they're very original.
-
But people on the street come up to me, like,
-
"Hey, you're on that show." I'm like, "Thanks."
-
Like, "You're an ass [bleep]" Like, "Oh, thank you."
-
[ Laughter ] -There you go.
-
-Yeah. -"My wife's pregnant.
-
Thank you very much." -Walking with her.
-
-"I'm doing my job." -Yeah, it's a character.
-
-You insult some people. I mean --
-
-Oh, yeah. -You go for it.
-
-Oh, there are times when they're just like,
-
"You know what? If you want to,
-
there's a bunch of background actors there.
-
Just, like, rip into them."
-
So, at the end of a take, I'll just start making fun
-
of some guy's beard and yelling at him,
-
and they go, "Cut," and I run over,
-
I'm like, "I'm Kieran, by the way.
-
Like, they asked me to --" -"I am so sorry.
-
That's my character." -"That's Roman.
-
That's not -- yeah." -"That is not me at all."
-
Well, congrats on everything. -Thank you.
-
-I know you're getting a lot of Emmy love,
-
and the show's a hit, and so that's awesome for you, buddy.
-
And congrats more on being a dad.
-
It's gonna be great. Got to come back.
-
-Thank you so much.
-
-We have a clip from "Succession."
-
And we had to bleep out a lot of it.
-
Take a look.
-
-Where's this coming from?
-
-It's coming from dad. -It's coming from us.
-
-No. What? Why are we dancing around?
-
It's coming from dad. Dad's worried about you.
-
-Okay. -I mean, come on.
-
You know how he is. He doesn't get it.
-
He still has a plant out in the Philippines
-
manufacturing Xerox machines but he's [bleep] shrewd.
-
And right now -- Right now, his giant cyclops eye
-
is looking in this direction, and he's feeling like
-
maybe he bought a giant pile of bull [bleep]
-
So now here I am to inquire, in the politest terms possible,
-
what the [bleep] is going on.
-
-There you go. [ Cheers and applause ]
-
You're good. It's not bad.
-
Kieran Culkin, everybody!
