  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )

  • >> Stephen: HI.

  • HOW ARE YOU?

  • >> Stephen: NICE TO MEET YOU.

  • THANK YOU FOR COMING ON.

  • >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

  • >> Stephen: I FOUND OUT SHORTLY BEFORE YOU CAME OUT

  • HERE, WHILE YOU HAVE BEEN ON LATE NIGHT TALK SHOWS BEFORE,

  • THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE BEEN ON SOLO.

  • >> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.

  • >> Stephen: THIS IS JUST YOU, ROB McELHENNEY.

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) A, WE'RE HONORED, BUT WHY SO

  • LONG?

  • 14 SEASONS OF "ALWAYS SUNNY."

  • WHY IS THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE OUT HERE BY YOURSELF?

  • >> I WANTED TO DO A JOB.

  • IT TOOK 14 YEARS OF PREPARATION.

  • HOW AM I DOING SO FAR?

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I GUESS IT'S WORTH IT.

  • >> Stephen: STOP WHILE YOU'RE PEAKING.

  • >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, BEEN GREAT.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: YOU'VE JUST

  • COMPLETED THE 14th SEASON OF "IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN

  • PHILADELPHIA."

  • I THINK IT'S REALLY BEGINNING TO CATCH ON.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) >> YEAH.

  • >> Stephen: I HAVE TO ASK YOU A REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION.

  • >> OKAY.

  • >> Stephen: YOUR CHARACTER MATT GOT FAT, OKAY, AND WHY --

  • HOW TID THIS START?

  • WAS IT AN IDEA FOR, LIKE, THE ARK OF THE SHOW, OR WERE YOU A

  • SHOW RUNNER AND REALLY STRESSED AND YOU JUST START GAINING

  • WEIGHT?

  • >> NO, WE'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT, FIRST OF ALL, ONE OF MY FAVORITE

  • SHOWS OF ALL TIME WAS "FRIENDS."

  • I LOVE "FRIENDS."

  • >> Stephen: QUALITY PROGRAM.

  • ALWAYS LOVED THE SHOW, AND WHEN WE WERE THINKING ABOUT

  • SHOWS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE, I THOUGHT, WELL, THEY'VE ALREADY

  • DONE THAT SO HOW COULD WE DO THE OPPOSITE OF THAT?

  • SO WE HAVE THIS SHOW WHERE THERE ARE THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND

  • LITERALLY IN THE THEME SONG SAYS, NO MATTER WHAT, I'LL

  • ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU.

  • I SAID, WHAT WOULD BE THE OPPOSITE OF THAT?

  • WHAT IF YOU MADE A SHOW WHERE YOU HAD CHARACTERS WHO WOULD

  • NEVER BE THERE FOR ANY OF THEIR FRIENDS, NO MATTER WHAT?

  • THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING SHOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT

  • BEFORE.

  • >> Stephen: SURE.

  • O I WROTE THAT, AND YEARS WENT BY, AND EVENTUALLY I WENT

  • BACK AND STARTED WATCHING "FRIENDS" AGAIN AND WAS NOTICING

  • IN THE RERUNS THAT THEY WERE GETTING BETTER LOOKING AS THE

  • YEARS WENT ON.

  • >> Stephen: SURE.

  • BECAUSE THEY WERE RICHER AND HAD MORE MONEY AND PUBLICISTS

  • AND STYLISTS AND CHEFS.

  • >> Stephen: YEAH.

  • I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT'S NOT INDICATIVE OF REAL LIFE.

  • AS WE AGE, WE TEND TO GET LESS BETTER LOOKING, ESPECIALLY IF

  • YOU TREAT YOURSELF THE WAY THESE CHARACTERS TREAT THEMSELVES.

  • >> Stephen: SURE.

  • BY DRINKING HORRIFIC AMOUNTS OF ALCOHOL AND EATING TERRIBLE

  • AMOUNTS OF FOOD.

  • >> Stephen: THAT IS WHAT FRIENDS SHOULD LOOK LIKE.

  • >> THAT'S MAYBE A TRUE LOOK INTO LEBLANC'S FUTURE.

  • >> Stephen: AND THEN HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT?

  • ( CHEERING ) >> YEAH.

  • SO I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT AGAIN.

  • LOOK, MAN, WE HAVE BEEN DOING THE SHOW 14 YEARS.

  • I'VE GOT TO MIX IT UP.

  • >> Stephen: WHICH ONE DOES YOUR LIFE LIKE, THIS ONE OR THIS

  • ONE?

  • >> I WILL BE 100% HONEST AND I'M NOT MAKING A JOKE, SHE MUCH

  • PREFERRED THAT GUY.

  • THAT GUY IS JOLLY.

  • >> Stephen: THE FAT GUY.

  • YEAH, THE FAT GUY.

  • THE OBESE MAN, I WAS GOALIE, FIRST OF ALL.

  • I GOT TO EAT AND DRINK WHATEVER I WANTED, AND IT WAS JUST A LOT

  • OF FUN.

  • THE RIPPED GUY, THAT'S A MISERABLE EXISTENCE.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

  • >> Stephen: THANK YOU.

  • THANK YOU.

  • I DON'T WANT TO -- THANK YOU.

  • A QUICK MESSAGE TO MY WIFE -- HONEY, HONEY, YOU DON'T WANT

  • THIS.

  • YOU DON'T.

  • THIS IS MISERABLE.

  • YOU DON'T WANT IT.

  • I'M FUN NOW.

  • >> I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

  • >> Stephen: THE NEW SHOW "MYTHIC QUEST," HOW IS IT

  • DIFFERENT THAN IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA?

  • >> IT'S ABOUT A VIDEO GAME AND IT'S THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GAME IN

  • THE WORLD.

  • I THOUGHT THE BEST SHOWS ARE ALWAYS, WHETHER FAMILY OR

  • WORKPLACE, PEOPLE THAT ARE STUCK TOGETHER FOR ONE REASON OR

  • ANOTHER.

  • IN SUNNY, THEY'RE STUCK TOGETHER AND THEY'RE FRIENDS BECAUSE NO

  • ONE ELSE WILL BE FRIEND WITH THEM.

  • >> Stephen: YES.

  • O THEY'RE STUCK TOGETHER BECAUSE OF THEIR ABJECT FAILURE.

  • SO MYTHIC QUEST, I THOUGHT, WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE

  • PEOPLE STUCK TOGETHER BY THEIR INCREDIBLE SUCCESS.

  • SO THIS GAME IS A MASSIVE HIT ALL OVER THE WORLD AND THEY HAVE

  • THE GOLDENED HANDCUFFS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO WORK ON THE GAME

  • ALL DESPISE EACH OTHER.

  • >> Stephen: THERE IT IS.

  • O IF YOU WANT TO WATCH "FRIENDS," WATCH "FRIENDS."

  • IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE OPPOSITE OF FRIENDS, WATCH

  • PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING I DO.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

  • >> Stephen: ROB, NICE TO MEET YOU.

  • THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

  • "MYTHIC QUEST: RAVEN'S BANQUET" PREMIERES

  • FRIDAY ON APPLE TV+.

  • ROB MCELHENNEY, EVERYBODY!

  • WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

>> Stephen: HEY!
