  • - Yes.

  • - It's been said that-- - I passed.

  • We can stop right now. [laughing]

  • - I passed. - You don't get to pass it,

  • I'm in charge.

  • It's been said that Emilio Estevez was the unofficial

  • president of the Brat Pack.

  • Did that ever bother you?

  • - Maybe.

  • [chuckling]

  • - I don't think that's an answer.

  • Yes or no?

  • - Yes.

  • - Are all the members of the Brat Pack

  • in a group chat together?

  • - No.

  • - Are you worried there might be one without you?

  • - No.

  • [laughing]

  • - You were the epitome of a teenage heart throb

  • when you were younger.

  • Exhibit A.

  • Do you ever worry that you peaked

  • when you were a teenager?

  • - Yes.

  • - Does it offend you that you have never

  • been named people's sexiest man alive?

  • - Yes.

  • - [Kristin] Me too.

  • - Finally.

  • Thank you. - Yes.

  • You once said-- - What more does

  • a person need to do?

  • - I don't know, I don't know Rob, let's continue.

  • You once said that this woman rejected your kiss.

  • Was that the worse rejection you ever faced?

  • - Yes.

  • [laughing] Probably, I mean.

  • Let's face it.

  • It's not a good day. - Not a good day.

  • In the film. - Look at her.

  • - I know. - I mean.

  • I wanna be like. - Put it down.

  • We're done, we're done with Jewel.

  • Put her down.

  • In the film-- - Oh I'm done with Jewel.

  • Don't you worry about that.

  • - Okay calm down. - So kidding.

  • We're good. - Calm down.

  • Do you feel pressure as a man in Hollywood

  • to look camera ready all the time?

  • - Nah. [giggling]

  • Nah.

  • - You are the father of two sons, Matthew and Johnny.

  • Do you think that you're a cool dad?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Your sons attended Duke and Stanford.

  • You must be really proud of them right?

  • - What are you implying?

  • - Do you think that you could've gotten into those colleges?

  • - Oh I thought you were gonna ask me if

  • I paid somebody-- - No I was not.

  • I would never.

  • - All I had to do to get Matthew into Duke

  • was to tell coach Kay that Matthew was nine feet tall.

  • - Stop. - And lead the league

  • and it happened.

  • - Okay do you feel like you could've gotten

  • into those colleges? - 100% no.

  • [laughing]

  • 100% no. - Good.

  • Do you think that your sons are smarter than you?

  • - 100% yes.

  • - Yes I agree. [laughing]

  • - He's telling the truth.

  • - Oh excellent, thank you.

  • Is it true that you're deaf in one ear?

  • - Yes.

  • - And have you ever used that as an excuse

  • to ignore someone that you didn't want to talk to?

  • - Like everyday.

  • [laughing]

  • How do you think I've been married for 29 years?

  • - Ooh, ow!

  • That hurt, that hurt!

  • - Because I love.

  • I saw because I love. - Oh my gosh.

  • Oh dear, we're in trouble now.

  • Okay.

  • It's a big one.

  • Have you ever watched Sex and the City?

  • - An entire episode?

  • - [Kristin] Uh huh!

  • - Wow this is pressure.

  • - Wow!

  • You're already in trouble! - I know.

  • - Why are you taking so long

  • to answer? - It's so mimosa-centric.

  • - Gosh!

  • Okay so for the limited amount of an episode

  • of Sex and the City that you did watch.

  • - I saw a lot of shoes.

  • There was a lot of Sarah's voice.

  • - Yeah, and? - And a lot of mimosas.

  • - Okay so I have another question, let me get it to.

  • - Did I miss anything? - Yes!

  • You missed a lot, okay?

  • A lot, a lot, a lot!

  • You could ask Sheryl what you missed.

  • So in the limited amount of Sex and the City

  • that you did dane to watch. [laughing]

  • Did you have a favorite character?

  • - Yours.

  • - Oh!

  • - Charlotte! - Are you lying?

  • - Right?

  • - You did know her name good.

  • - See?

  • - Good one, good one, but are you lying right now?

  • - No.

  • - Is he?

  • - That's questionable.

  • - I'm not.

  • - Is he lying? - I know all those girls.

  • - Women.

  • - You were, yeah you were women then.

  • - Yeah we were, trust me.

  • - I'm so out.

  • - You've been known to do some good impressions.

  • Can you do an impression of this costar?

  • - Ooh!

  • Wow that's like the hardest. - It's pretty hard.

  • - This is called being set up for failure.

  • - It's true, she's not easy.

  • - She's not easy! - Not easy!

  • - First of all I don't know if I've ever

  • been able to pull off doing a female impression.

  • - Who do you wanna do?

  • So we're not gonna do Amy Poehler.

  • - I cannot do an Amy Poehler.

  • - It's pretty tough. - For sure I can't.

  • - [Kristin] I don't think I could either.

  • - For sure there's no way. - I agree.

  • See he's being [mumbling].

  • If you were asked to do a reboot of Parks and Rec,

  • would you say yes?

  • - 100%.

  • - [Kristin] Aw that makes me happy, I love you on that.

  • - Thank you.

  • - Do you think Anne and Chris are still together?

  • - Yes of course! - Really?

  • - Yes! - No!

  • I don't think so.

  • - Of course.

  • - She moved on a lot.

  • She did.

  • You would've had to really be like, pleasing her, frankly.

  • - Well, if Chris has a shortcoming it might

  • have been in that area.

  • - It might have been, it might have been.

  • All right, did you lie at any point

  • during this lie detector test?

  • - I never did.

  • [laughing]

  • - He's not a liar! - No!

  • - It's true-- - No I'm a truth machine.

  • - Rob is not a liar.

  • It's so true. - I'm a truth machine.

  • - It's true.

  • - Oh yes.

  • Oh yes. [sighing deeply]

  • - I do feel Mindhunter-esque.

  • - It is, it's very Mindhunter.

  • - It is.

  • - Kristin are you ready?

  • - Yes I'm ready.

  • - Is your name Kristin Davis?

  • - Yes.

  • - Were you born in Boulder Colorado?

  • - Yes.

  • - Are you nervous?

  • - A little.

  • - Let's begin. [laughing]

  • You played Charlotte on Sex and the City.

  • Have you ever taken a Buzzfeed quiz

  • to find out which Sex and the City character you are?

  • - No.

  • Don't need to.

  • [chuckling]

  • - That's very true.

  • Would you say that I'm Samantha?

  • - No I would say you're Carrie.

  • - Yeah me too. - Yeah.

  • - Number one on the call sheet.

  • [laughing]

  • - Yes that too, that too.

  • - In the show, your character converts to Judaism,

  • would you ever convert for someone you loved?

  • - It's hard to say.

  • I think if I fell in love hard enough, I might.

  • But I don't really believe that much

  • in organized religion so I would have to feel like

  • it was incredibly important to that person to do so.

  • Like Charlotte felt with Harry.

  • - I think you'd do it.

  • You've expressed your love

  • for the hashtag, Woke Charlotte memes.

  • - It's true.

  • - Do you consider yourself woke?

  • - I consider myself always on the way to woke.

  • I'm still trying to get there.

  • I don't know who is the official person to say

  • that you have obtained woke status.

  • I'm not sure that I'm there yet.

  • - So if you're not woke, would you consider yourself sleepy?

  • - No I'm awakening.

  • I'm awakening, I'm a blooming flower.

  • - [Rob] You're not slumbering?

  • - No.

  • - Well this is an easy one.

  • Would you say you're more woke than I am?

  • - Oh definitely.

  • [laughing]

  • - She's passing. [laughing]

  • - That's not hard to beat.

  • - No it isn't. - No.

  • - If these two women reconcile their differences,

  • would you agree to film another movie?

  • The world awaits your answer.

  • - Of course I would. - Of course you would.

  • And who wouldn't?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Who wouldn't?

  • You starred in a movie with my brother.

  • - Yes!

  • - Chad Lowe!

  • - Yes I did.

  • [gasping]

  • Look how adorable you are!

  • - Was he easier to work with than me?

  • [giggling]

  • - That is such a hard question.

  • And I'm really probably gonna shock some people right now.

  • - Remember you're wearing a lie detector.

  • - I know, the answer is no, he was not.

  • Unfortunately. - He had those bad wigs.

  • - He did and they were a hard situation.

  • And also it was a different time in his life,

  • if you know what I'm saying.

  • - He told me a great story about that movie.

  • He played John Denver, the John Denver story.

  • And he was worried about the wigs.

  • And the wigs were-- - He was, all the time.

  • - Atrocious.

  • And he went to the director.

  • And the director says, oh nobody cares

  • about any of this, they just wanna hear you sing the songs.

  • - [Kristin] It's true.

  • - That's just what an actor wants to hear.

  • - Exactly.

  • That is what-- - He felt good

  • about that conversation. - That experience was like.

  • Yes. - Oh!

  • Is Chad Lowe a better kisser than me?

  • - No.

  • - Thank you.

  • Our work here is done. - I'm sorry Chad,

  • I'm so sorry!

  • - Have you ever, oh. - I feel really bad.

  • - Have you ever called me a diva behind my back?

  • - No, other things but not that.

  • [laughing]

  • - Amazing. - I'm telling the truth.

  • Right? - She's telling the truth.

  • - Did you watch my Comedy Central roast

  • before deciding to work with me?

  • - I did not because A, I already knew you

  • and B, I just think I kinda forgot it was on.

  • Though I would love to watch it now.

  • - It's fun! - Yeah.

  • - It was definitely fun. - I would think it would be

  • fun to roast you, yes.

  • - And it's fun to be roasted, I might add.

  • - Was it?

  • Oh good.

  • - Oh well if you had to roast me,

  • what would you say?

  • - Wow gosh, woo, where to begin?

  • I mean I think I would talk about the salad.

  • - That's a term for my hair.

  • - Yes all the salad fixin's.

  • - A lot of fixin's. - A lot of fixin's goin' on.

  • - It's gotta be properly tossed.

  • - Properly tossed!

  • I mean it goes on. - Erica demands it.

  • Ooh here we go. - Uh oh.

  • You played Joey's love interest in an episode of Friends.

  • Is Sex and the City better than friends?

  • - This is such an unfair question

  • but I'm gonna have to say yes.

  • Because I gave my life to one of those shows

  • and it wasn't Friends, I just guest starred on Friends

  • so I'm just gonna have to say yes

  • because I just have to.

  • I can't let my fans down.

  • - 100% agree. - Really?

  • - Is Parks and Rec better than Sex and the City?

  • - You know with that one,

  • I feel like they're apples and oranges.

  • I really like Parks and Rec, I probably saw every episode.

  • I really, really, like that show

  • but I feel like they're so so different.

  • I don't know how.

  • I feel like with comedy to compare them,

  • to say one's better and one's not, it's kind of tough.

  • - 100%.

  • You played the role of Jenna

  • the toothbrush girl on Seinfeld.

  • Have you ever put someone's toothbrush in the toilet

  • to get back at them?

  • - No I just don't think that would ever occur to me.

  • - It's not really in your nature is it?

  • - No it's really odd.

  • - Yeah I don't even need the lie detector

  • to tell me that you're telling the truth.

  • [laughing] - You know me well.

  • - I do. - You do.

  • - Who is more fun to work with than me?

  • Was Jerry Seinfeld more fun that me?

  • [laughing]

  • Is this me now? - Here he is.

  • This is Jerry.

  • This man, he was fun but he really liked to scare me

  • and make me nervous.

  • So this was at the hay day of Seinfeld

  • and there were like 35 million people watching

  • every episode and so every time before rolling

  • he'd just whisper in my ear, 35 million people.

  • And I would just be like ah!

  • And then we'd be rolling

  • and I would have to act.

  • - Not to age you or me.

  • - [Kristin] I know.

  • - 35 million people watching an

  • episode of television-- - A different world right?

  • A different world. - The most popular

  • episode of television now.

  • They're thrilled if it's six million.

  • - I know.

  • It's a different world.

  • We've lived through some times babe.

  • I know it, I know it.

  • - Is Jerry Seinfeld better looking than me?

  • - Gosh I have to think so hard.

  • I'm just gonna have to say no.

  • - Would you say Curb Your Enthusiasm

  • is funnier than Seinfeld?

  • - No.

  • No I would not.

  • I'm not the biggest Curb fan. - No?

  • - No I watch it but I don't love it

  • the way I love Seinfeld.

  • - Jerry's butt tight dad jeans were a real

  • barrier of entry for me. - Wow!

  • Oh my God!

  • It was the times babe!

  • You know! - I guess.

  • - Yeah it was the times.

  • - The clean Nike's. [shuddering]

  • - He could wear anything he wanted.

  • - Like the uber starched red-- - It's true.

  • I mean he has a kind of an OCD--

  • - The shirts! - Quality about him.

  • - Literally. - Right.

  • But that's why it was funny

  • that I threw the toothbrush in his toilet,

  • that was why it was funny. - That's right.

  • - You know what I mean? - That's right.

  • The toothbrush girl.

  • - But Jessica puts up with him.

  • So it's all working out.

  • - And she's genius.

  • Would you consider yourself an avid reader?

  • - Yeah.

  • - I've written two books, have you read both of them?

  • - I've only read one, I'm really sorry.

  • But it was excellent!

  • And I Tweeted about it

  • and I don't know if you saw that.]

  • - You did. - Okay good.

  • - You're off the hook.

  • Is it true you love skydiving?

  • Is it?

  • - Yes!

  • I would not skydive nowt hat I have my children,

  • which I think is your next question

  • but I did skydive before I had any children

  • and I was thrilled.

  • It was like a drug.

  • I was like let's go again!

  • - Would you let your kids skydive?

  • - That's a big question.

  • I mean they'd have to be a lot older

  • and it would have to be tandem.

  • I think if they really wanted to,

  • I probably couldn't stop them.

  • I'd be nervous, would you?

  • - I don't wanna do it.

  • And I'm not scared of much.

  • - It was pretty darn exciting Rob.

  • - Everybody loves it and I don't know why.

  • I'm just trusting my gut on this one.

  • - Well I think that's fair because I wouldn't

  • want anything to happen to you.

  • - We don't want that.

  • You're a huge philanthropist.

  • Which I know to be true.

  • Do you think other celebrities might partake

  • in charity just to become you know, favorable?

  • Or as my kids would say to get clout?

  • - I do think that that does happen, yes.

  • - [Rob] Clout chasing, celebrities?

  • - I do think that that happens

  • and I don't know that it's the worst thing in the world.

  • There's worse things they could be doing.

  • - I agree by the way.

  • I don't care what the motives are.

  • As long as it's doing something good,

  • I don't care-- - And if it calls

  • attention to an issue or a problem, then go for it.

  • - I don't care, I'm with you. - It's all right.

  • - Do you think I should do more charity work?

  • - No you do a ton!

  • You work for the Wounded Warriors.

  • I follow you, I know what you do.

  • You rescue dogs.

  • You and Sheryl had that whole dog thing

  • with like 30, 40 dogs once at your house,

  • gettin' groomed and stuff.

  • You got a lot goin' on.

  • - I do thank you.

  • Well I know this isn't true.

  • Is it true you get your best sleep on airplanes?

  • [laughing]

  • - No that actually is true.

  • - [Rob] Is it true?

  • - You know what happens-- - Except for the flight

  • that you and I took together to Africa.

  • - Well I had a five month old, okay?

  • So you know, I was nervous that he

  • was gonna wake up everybody, that was my fear

  • 'cause we were in a very nice plane

  • and you know, there were a lot of people there.

  • When we would work on Sex and the City

  • we would work all night Friday into Saturday morning

  • and if I had Monday off I would fly home to L.A. to here.

  • And so the second I would drive directly from out set

  • at Silver Cup to JFK and get on the plane

  • and I would be out before we took off

  • because that rumbling of getting the plane ready,

  • it like trained me.

  • - I think there's something in the air.

  • - I think that could be true. - It knocks me out.

  • Honestly. - Me too, see?

  • This is an actor thing.

  • We just bonk. - I can't keep my eyes open.

  • I really truly can't. - I know.

  • Normally if I don't have a baby with me I'm asleep.

  • - When you're sleeping on the planes,

  • do you think people are watching you?

  • - Unfortunately probably but you know what?

  • What are you gonna do?

  • - Have you ever woken up to go on Twitter

  • to see a picture of yourself sleeping on the plane?

  • - No have you? - Yes I have.

  • [gasping]

  • - Did you look okay?

  • - My mouth was open.

  • - Drool? - It looked like

  • I had a stroke.

  • [laughing]

  • - Do you take pictures on planes with people?

  • - I do.

  • I've learned that it's easier to say yes than say no.

  • - It's true, it is hard to say no.

  • - I don't love doing it all the time

  • but it's all good. - It's true,

  • it's hard to say no.

  • - Have you ever Googled yourself?

  • - Oh yeah. - Me too.

  • Just about five minutes ago.

  • Have you ever Googled me?

  • - I don't think so.

  • I think there's things I wouldn't need to see.

  • - I'm only interested in myself,

  • I assume you're the same way.

  • [laughing]

  • - No I would Google people

  • if I didn't know them before I worked with them or whatever.

  • But we've known you our whole lives basically.

  • There's not a lot of secrets, I don't think.

  • And if there were, I wouldn't wanna find out.

  • - Have you ever used your giant fandom

  • around you character in Sex and the City

  • to get a good table at a nice restaurant?

  • - Yeah, yeah, probably yeah.

  • - In New York though they have like,

  • a seat permanently for any of you girls.

  • - Pretty much, pretty much, pretty much.

  • There's sometimes some stress.

  • They'll look a little scared.

  • Like oh my gosh, oh my gosh,

  • I've gotta find a seat for them.

  • - Can you walk down the streets of New York on [mumbling].

  • - Definitely not.

  • No, definitely not, no.

  • I have to move a lot quicker than that.

  • You don't wanna be wearing high heels.

  • You would need to be having an umbrella and a hat.

  • - You cannot be carrying a what?

  • Mimosa.

  • - Definitely not but it's not the drink of the show.

  • - Oh I beg to differ.

  • - No darling, cosmopolitan, cosmopolitan.

  • - Oh that's what it was? - Yes.

  • - I haven't had a drink in 29 years.

  • - I know, I know, I haven't either

  • but I would never walk around carrying a drink.

  • - A mimosa is with orange juice.

  • What am I thinking? - It's for brunch.

  • I don't know!

  • You're a silly man! - We need to redo

  • this entire interview.

  • - You're a very silly man.

  • I let you get away with it for a while.

  • - For the record, for the record, I don't think

  • there are mimosas in Sex and the City.

  • [laughing]

  • - I think you do but it's fine.

  • You've already admitted you didn't watch

  • an entire episode.

  • So come on.

  • - We're in a Christmas movie together.

  • - [Kristin] Yes we are.

  • - Do you plan on getting me a Christmas gift this year?

  • - You know no, because number one,

  • I think you could possibly be like the most

  • diffIcult person to buy a gift for--

  • - Why? - In the world.

  • - [Rob] Why?

  • - Because you have everything.

  • - I do not.

  • - [Kristin] You do.

  • - I'll tell you what I don't have.

  • - [Kristin] What?

  • - A standup paddle hydro foil board.

  • - Okay. - Just saying.

  • - Wow!

  • Sounds athletic, I don't know!

  • - It's a real thing.

  • Did you lie at any point during this lie detector test?

  • - No. - We didn't catch you.

  • - No.

  • - And what's the final result?
