  • >> Stephen: BUT I LOVE IT.

  • >> THEN DON'T READ ANYTHING ONLINE.

  • THAT'S WHAT I WOULD TELL YOU.

  • >> Stephen: I NEVER DO.

  • I NEVER DO.

  • OBVIOUSLY, I LOOK UP "HILLARY CLINTON ILLNESS," BUT OTHER THAN

  • THAT.

  • A LOT OF THINGS PEOPLE SAY ABOUT IT-- I KNOW SOME CODERS AND THEY

  • SAY IT'S ACCURATE.

  • THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT IT IS THAT IT DOESN'T TALK

  • DOWN TO THE AUDIENCE.

  • ACTUALLY IS-- WHAT YOU SEEN ON SCREEN, WHAT THEY'RE TALKING

  • ABOUT IS ACCURATE.

  • DID YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HACKING BEFORE DID YOU THIS

  • PART?

  • >> NO, NOTHING AT ALL.

  • I'M, LIKE, A TERRIBLE TYPIER, TOO, WHICH IS SO SAD.

  • ( LAUGHTER ).

  • >> Stephen: DID YOU HAVE TO LEARN OR IS IT ALL-- ARE YOU

  • JUST DOING THIS OFFSCREEN.

  • >> I DID START TO DO THAT, AND I QUICKLY GOT REPRIMANDED.

  • THEY'RE LIKE, "YOU'RE NOT PLAYING THE PIANO," IS WHAT I

  • HEARD.

  • THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.

  • >> Stephen: OH, REALLY.

  • ( PIANO PLAYING OPINION (.

  • >> Jon: PLING!

  • >> Stephen: DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE TYPING CLASSES?

  • >> I DID HAVE TO TAKE TYPING CLASSES.

  • SOMEBODY CAME TO MY HOUSE AND GAVE ME TYPING LESSONS, AND

  • AFTER A FEW SESSION OF THAT I WAS LIKE, NO, I THINK I CAN

  • COVER THIS WITH JUST PURE ACTING.

  • I CAN -- >> YOU CAN ACT TO THE TIPS OF

  • YOUR FINGERS?

  • >> YEAH, RIGHT.

  • I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO JUST THAT.

  • >> Stephen: WELL, THE CHARACTER EYE MEAN, THE SHOW

  • ITSELF IS ABOUT, LIKE, REVOLUTION, AND ANARCHY, AND A

  • SENSE OF PROFOUND ALIENATION.

  • >> ALIENATION.

  • >> Stephen: YEAH!

  • WE JUST CONNECTED WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF PROFOUND ALIENATION.

  • >> YEAH, RIGHT.

  • >> Stephen: SO WHY DO YOU THINK-- WHY DO YOU THINK IT HAS

  • STRUCK SUCH A CHORD WITH PEOPLE?

  • >> I THINK SO MANY PEOPLE FEEL ALIENATED IN A WAY.

  • THEY FEEL, YOU KNOW, DISENFRANCHISED BY THE SOCIETY

  • THEY LIVE IN.

  • THEY FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S

  • VERY DIFFICULT TO, YOU KNOW, TO RAIL AGAINST THIS-- THIS SOCIETY

  • THAT IS, YOU KNOW, POSITIONED-- YOU KNOW, THE 1% AGAINST THE

  • REST OF US, I FEEL.

  • IT'S JUST A DIFFICULT PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE, YOU KNOW, JUST

  • STRIVING TO BE-- TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING AND WHO ARE VERY

  • DIFFERENT.

  • YEAH.

  • >> Stephen: WELL, YOUR CHARACTER--

  • ( APPLAUSE ) YOUR CHARACTER IS CERTAINLY VERY

  • DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW.

  • AND YOU'VE PLAYED A COUPLE OF CHARACTERS LIKE SNAFU IN THE

  • PACIFIC WAS ANOTHER CHARACTER, A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE, ANOTHER

  • CHARACTER PROFOUNDLY DAMAGED OR PROFOUNDLY ALIENATED.

  • DO YOU ENJOY PLAYING PEOPLE WHO CAN'T CONNECT WITH OTHER PEOPLE?

  • BECAUSE-- ( LAUGHTER )

  • AN ACTOR'S JOB IS TO CONNECT WITH OTHER PEOPLE, ISN'T IT?

  • >> YEAH.

  • IT MUST BE SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE OF ME THAT I HAVE THOSE SAME

  • FEELINGS.

  • YOU KNOW, I LIKE TO DISCOVER WHAT IT IS THAT MADE THESE

  • PEOPLE THAT-- YOU KNOW, THAT WAY, IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, A

  • QUESTION I THINK OF NATURE VERSUS NURTURE, YOU KNOW.

  • IF WE'RE, YOU KNOW, JUST-- IF WE'RE BORN THAT WAY OR IT'S A

  • SITUATION THAT HAS BEEN DEALT TO US, THAT PUTS US-- THAT ALLOWS

  • US TO DEVELOP IN THIS WAY, THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE AT

  • TIMES OR FORCES US INTO A CORNER.

  • I LIKE THOSE GUYS.

  • >> Stephen: ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THE SHOW IS THAT

  • ELLIOT, YOUR CHARACTER, IS TALKING TO US, TALKING TO THE

  • CAMERA, AS IF WE'RE NOT REAL.

  • AS IF WE'RE AN ACKNOWLEDGED IMAGINARY PRESENCE IN HIS HEAD,

  • WHO HE KNOWS HE SHOULDN'T BE TALKING TO BECAUSE WE'RE NOT

  • THERE.

  • AND IT REALLY ALIENATES YOU FROM THE TV SHOW BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST

  • AS IF THE TV SHOW IS SAYING, "IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU WEREN'T

  • REAL."

  • >> RIGHT.

  • >> Stephen: AND THAT THE TV SHOW IS REAL, AND WEERT FAKE

  • THING.

  • YEAH.

  • >> IT DOES.

  • >> Stephen: IT DOES BLOW YOUR MIND.

  • >> YOU BLEW MY MIND.

  • WELL, THAT'S WHAT'S COOL ABOUT THE THE SHOW.

  • YOU KNOW, IT INTEGRATES THAT AUDIENCE ASPECT MORE.

  • YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE A PART OF IT LIKE --

  • >> DO PEOPLE SAY, "I TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AND I'M GOING

  • TO BRING DOWN SOCIETY LIKE YOU GUYS DO?"

  • BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT, LIKE, THIS MENTALLY DAMAGED ANTIHERO THAT

  • YOU'RE PLAYING.

  • BUT WE'RE PULLING FOR YOU TO STROI EVERYTHING.

  • >> I GET A LOT OF MAIL THAT I HAVE TO REFER BACK TO THE POLICE

  • DEPARTMENT AND THE C.I.A.

  • >> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS.

  • THAT'S CALLED MARKET PENETRATION.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) HERE'S THE THING IS THAT YOU'RE

  • NOT-- YOU'RE NOT THAT TECH SAVVY, RIGHT?

  • >> NO.

  • >> Stephen: HERE'S THE THING-- DO YOU LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA?

  • >> I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE I THINK IT'S KIND

  • OF-- YOU KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE BIT POLARIZING.

  • IT'S DIFFICULT-- DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY IS

  • HAPPENING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU KNOW.

  • THINGS SEEM VERY MANICURED.

  • I THINK IT PITS PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER, YOU KNOW.

  • >> Stephen: IS THAT-- IS THAT WHY YOU HAVE AN INSTAGRAM

  • ACCOUNT WITH ALMOST 100,000 FOLLOWERS?

  • AND NO POSTS YET.

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> I HAD-- I HAD NO IDEA I HAD

  • THAT MANY FOLLOWERS.

  • >> Stephen: YOU HAVE ALMOST 100,000 FOLLOWERS.

  • >> THAT'S CRAZY.

  • >> Stephen: AND YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM NOTHING, OTHER THAN THIS

  • PICTURE OF YOU RIGHT THERE.

  • >> HOW FAR DO YOU THINK I CAN TAKE THIS?

  • >> Stephen: COULD I HELP YOU OUT HERE?

  • COULD WE GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT?

  • COULD WE FIELD THE BEAST AND GIVE THEM ONE PHOTO OF YOU FOR

  • INSTAGRAM?

  • ( APPLAUSE ) >> SURE, SURE.

  • YOU CAME CORRECT.

  • >> Stephen: I TOTALLY CAME PREPARED.

  • I HOPE IS THIS GOING TO WORK.

  • >> SO THIS IS GOING TO BE MY FIRST POST.

  • >> Stephen: YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

  • ALL RIGHT.

  • >> WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT RIGHT, YOU HAVE TO GET

  • HIGHER, RIGHT.

  • YOU HAVE TO GET THAT GOOD ANGLE.

  • THERE YOU GO.

  • >> Stephen: IS THAT WORKING?

  • OKAY.

  • >> NOW IT'S GOT-- THERE WE GO.

  • NOW IT'S-- THERE WE GO!

  • >> Stephen: READY?

  • >> WE HAVE TO GET HIGHER.

  • I MEAN, DON'T YOU SEE PEOPLE CRANK THEIR NECK BACK LIKE THIS

  • FOR THE PERFECT ANGLE.

  • >> Stephen: READY, ONE, TWO...

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WELCOME TO THE

  • FUTURE!

  • >> WE DID IT!

  • YES!
