TUCCI IS HERE ON THE SHOW.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS, I WANT TO SAY THIS, IT'S THE MIDDLE OF

THE NIGHT.

IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND I WANT TO SAY THIS, YOU'RE

WELCOME, AMERICA.

STANLEY, HOW ARE YOU?

>> I'M WELL, I'M WELL.

I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

>> James: THE LAST TIME YOU WERE ON THE SHOW, WAS SORT OF

WAY BACK, AT THE START OF LOCKDOWN AND YOU TAUGHT US HOW

TO MAKE A MARTINI WHICH IS A THRILL FOR ME.

AND NOW SORT OF YOU ARE IN BRITAIN, IT KIND OF OPENED UP IN

THE SUMMER AND WENT DOWN INTO A SECOND LOCKDOWN.

HOW DOES LOCKDOWN ONE OVER THERE COMPARE TO LOCKDOWN TWO, HOW IS

TUCCI HOLDING UP.

>> I THINK THAT LOCKDOWN TWO IS A LITTLE BIT EASIER BECAUSE WE

KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE CAN'T EXPECT ANYTHING.

>> YEAH.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

>> YES, SO YOU HAVE TO SETTLE IN AND SAY THIS IS THE WAY IT IS

GOING TO BE, FOR HOW LONG, I DON'T KNOW.

BUT WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO BE IN A COMFORTABLE PLACE.

SO.

>> YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S THE HOPE THAT KILLS YOU.

DO YOU KNOW LIKE IN A WEEK'S TIME, A WEEK'S TIME WE ARE

COMING UP TO THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF STAY INSIDE FOR

14 DAYS TO FLATEN THE CURVE.

>> YES, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?

TWO WEEKS, JUST HAVE TO STAY IN FOR TWO WEEKS AND FLATEN THE

CURVE.

HOW DID THAT WORK OUT.

>> YEAH, IT TURNED INTO A FULL CIRCLE.

>> NOW STANLEY, YOU'VE LIVED IN LONDON, I THINK ABOUT SEVEN AND

A HALF YEARS NOW.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE BRITISH EXPRESSIONS.

>> I USE THE WORD "QUOTE" A LOT.

>> James: YES.

>> WHICH IS A WORD THAT YOU KNOW BRITISH PEOPLE USE A LOT.

IT IS REALLY MORE ABOUT INFLECTION.

>> James: YES, IT IS.

>> THERE ARE CERTAIN WORDS THAT I USE THAT I CAN'T USE ON YOUR

SHOW THAT NOW, YOU KNOW, ARE VERY MUCH A PART OF MY

VOCABULARY.

BUT YEAH, IT IS REALLY ABOUT INFLECTION, SO MY OLDER

CHILDREN, THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T HAVE BRITISH ACCENTS BUT THEY

WILL SAY SOMETHING LIKE, ARE WE GOING AS OPPOSED TO WHEN ARE WE

GOING TO GO.

THAT IS ABOUT IT.

>> James: IT IS MORE ROMANTIC, ISN'T IT?

>> IT IS MORE ROMANTIC.

BECAUSE THE BRITISH ARE OFTEN, WELL, THEY ARE INTERESTED IN

ASKING QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME.

EVERYTHING ENDS SLIGHTLY UP.

>> James: ARE YOU RIGHT, SHALL WE LEAVE?

ARE WE GOING?

>> SHALL WE GO?

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

>> James: YOU WANT TO EAT, BRO?

>> YEAH, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

ARE YOU HUNGRY.

>> James: YOU HEADING OUT, DUDE.

>> YEAH.

>> James: STNLY WHEN YOU SAY THERE ARE WORDS YOU CAN'T USE

THAT YOU HAVE ADOPTED ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WORD [BLEEP].

>> OH YES.

>> James: YES, NOW STANLEY, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS, ARE YOU

AWARE, LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU IN THE THIRD PERSON FOR A SECOND.

IS STANLEY TUCCI AWARE OF THE EFFECT THAT STANLEY TUCCI HAS ON

PEOPLE ONLINE.

BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE HOT FOR THE TUCCI, OKAY.

WE HAVE SOME TWEETS HERE, I WILL SAY, SOME TWEETS THAT WE FOUND

REGARDING STANLEY TUCCI WERE TOO RISQUE FOR CBS, IMAGINE THAT,

IMAGINE BEING TOO RISQUE FOR CBS.

YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW A [BLEEP] BUT TOO RISQUE, STANLEY, FOR

CBS.

SO I WILL READ YOU SOME NOW.

THESE ARE TWEETS WE FOUND.

THIS IS FROM BRIAN LION MULIN, HE SAID I THINK STANLEY TUCH SI

SO SEXY I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

BUT I WANT HIM TO CRUMPLE ME LIKE TINFOIL.

(LAUGHTER) THIS ONE IS FROM ONLINE ALISON

WHO SAID I'M SORRY BUT WHO GAVE STANLEY TUCCI PERMISSION TO BE

SUCH A HOT BITCH.

AND THIS ONE FROM KRISTIN RAWORTH WHO SAID WATCHING

STANLEY TUCCI DESCRIBE PASTA SAUCE IS IN FACT A SEXUAL

ORIENTATION.

(LAUGHTER) HOW DOES STANLEY TUCCI FEEL

ABOUT THIS?

>> WELL, AT AGE 60, I FEEL WONDERFUL ABOUT IT.

>> James: YOU SHOULD.

>> I'M THRILLED.

I'M THRILLED.

I'M FLATTERED.

I'M REALLY GLAD.

I HOPE IT LASTS.

AS I BECOME MORE AND MORE WITHERED I HOPE PEOPLE FEEL THE

SAME WAY.

>> James: I CAN'T SEE IT CHANGING NOW STANLEY.

IF SOMEONE SAID I HAD TO TELEPORT INTO SOMEBODY'S BODY

FOR A DAY, I WOULDN'T HAVE TO THINK BEFORE I WOULD SAY STANLEY

TUCCI.

JUST TO BE ABLE TO WEAR A SCARF LIKE THAT WITH SUCH APLOMB, AND

I'M USING THE WORD APLOMB.

>> I NOTICED, YEAH, NO, NO, YES, I LIKE SCARFS AND I LIKE TO WEAR

THEM.

I WANT WEAR THEM ANY OTHER WAY.

AND YES, SO I AM SIMPLY FLATTERED.

I'M FLATTERED.

>> James: BUT DO YOU GET THIS, IF YOU ARE EVER OUT ON THE

STREETS, DO YOU EVER FEEL THIS IMPACT FROM PEOPLE.

OR DO YOU THINK IT IS JUST A THING FOR PEOPLE ONLINE?

>> NO, I FEEL IT.

TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, WHEN THEY ARE GRASPING AT ME, NO, NO,

I-- NO, NO, YOU KNOW, YOU SORT OF WALK BY AND YOU HEAR THIS

SORT OF WHISPER.

YOU KNOW, AS YOU PASS.

AND EVERYTHING, AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY-- IT'S NICE.

I'M REALLY, REALLY FLATTERED.

>> James: AND THIS IS ALL IN RESPONSE TO PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT

YOUR BRILLIANT SHOW, SEARCHING FOR ITALY WHICH CONGRATULATIONS

WAS RENEWED FOR A SECOND SEASON TODAY BY CN NRKSZ AND THIS IS

LIKE, THIS SHOW IS FOR ANYONE THAT HASN'T CAUGHT IT YET IS A

TOUR OF ITALY THROUGH FOOD AND WINE, WHICH THANK YOU FOR

PUTTING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE IN SUCH A TOUGH WAY FOR US.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW YOU MANAGED IT.

WAS IT AS FUNNY AS IT LOOKED.

>> WELL, HERE IS THE WEIRD THING, YES, IT IS REALLY FUN.

BUT IT IS ALSO REDIFFICUL, I KNOW THAT SOUNDS SILLY.

BUT YOU ARE NEVER IN ONE PLACE FOR TOO LONG.

YOU ARE SPEAKING TWO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, NEITHER OF WHICH YOU

SPEAK VERY WELL AND YOU ARE TRYING TO GET THE TRUTH IN EACH

STORY, AND MAKE IT RIGHT.

AND YOU ARE TAKING THINGS, YOU ARE EATING THINGS, ALWAYS ON ITS

GO, ON THE GO, ON THE GO.

IN THE END IT IS IT WONDERFUL, YES, THOSE ARE AS THEY SAY FIRST

WORLD PROBLEMS.

BUT THE GREATEST THING IS I GOT TO LEARN A LOT BUT ALSO TO BE

ABLE TO SHOW ITALY IN A WAY THAT MAYBE PEOPLE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE

T VERY SATISFYING TO ME.

AND IT MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY, ESPECIALLY DURING THIS DIFFICULT

TIME.

>> YES, THE SHOW IS BRILLIANT AND I DIDN'T KNOW WERE YOU SO

FLUENT IN ITALIAN.

WHAT IS THE HOTTEST THING STANLEY TUCCI CAN SAY IN

ITALIAN.

>>-- .

>> (SPEAKING ITALIAN) THAT'S IT.

>> James: ACTUAL CHILL, I'VE GOT ACTUAL CHILLS.

>> WHICH MEANS MY DEAR, I CAN'T TONIGHT.

I CAN'T.

(LAUGHTER).

>> James: I BET YOU CAN, YOU CHEEKY SAUSAGE.
