>> HEY!
YOU PLAY WELL.
YOU DID GOOD ON THE GAME SHOW, 
MAN, YOU'RE DOIN' SO GOOD.
>> IT'S FUN TO DO THINGS OTHER 
THAN GIVE SPEECHES.
>> I WAS THINKING IF YOU HAD A 
GAME SHOW ABOUT THE CHARACTERS I
PLAYED, THE TOPICS WOULD BE LIKE
EMASS CLAGS AND TRAUMA.
>> SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHEN I WAS
MAYOR OF SOUTH BEND PEOPLE WOULD
ASK ME WHICH TV SHOW MY LIFE 
RESEMBLED MOST.
"PARKS AND R
""PARKS
""PARKS AND RECREATION" IS KIND 
OF LIKE THAT.
BUT SADLY THE MOST REALISTIC 
SHOW WAS "VEEP."
I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE TALK 
ABOUT HOW ABSURD IT IS, IT 
CAPTURES THE REALITY OF BEING 
INVOLVED NO POLITICS.
>> IT'S SCARY.
SOMETIMES I WATCH THE NEWS AND I
WANT TO LAUGH BUT I FEEL GUILTY 
ABOUT LAUGHING.
AND IT WAS A NICE POLITICAL 
OUTLET THAT YOU DIDN'T FEEL 
GUILTY AT LAUGHING AT.
>> YOU CAN CHANNEL IT.
>> YEAH, YOU CAN CHANNEL IT, BUT
WHEN I HEAR THAT, IT'S NOT GOOD 
NEWS.
>> BEYOND "VEEP", YOU WILL HAVE 
SHOWS ON ALL OF THE FIVE MAJOR 
STREAMING SERVICES, WHICH IS A 
REAL FEAT.
IT GOT ME THINKING, IN POLITICS.
HERES A ONE THING, WE'VE GOT TO 
THINK OF A NAME FOR IT.
IN POLITICS, THEY CALL IT THE 
FULL GINSBURG, NAMED AFTER BILL 
CLINTON'S LAWYER IN THE '90S, 
WHERE YOU WOULD APPEAR ON ALL 
FIVE SUNDAY SHOWS.
I DID IT ONE TIME IN NEW 
HAMPSHIRE.
THE FULL TONY, THE FULL HALE.
>> I LIKE THE FULL TONY, THERE'S
PROBABLY ACTORS OUT THERE WHO 
ARE LIKE, I'M ON ALL FIVE.
>> YOU'VE BEEN DOING A LOT.
>> I REALLY MISS "VEEP."
WE REALLY GOT CLOSE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE MET 
JULIA.
>> YEAH, SHOW'S FANTASTIC.
>> THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE 
WHO LOVED THE SHOW AND THE 
CHARACTERS ON THE SHOW, THEIR 
NAMES WERE LIKE DAN AND SELENA, 
AND PEOPLE IN D.C. WOULD BE OH, 
I'M DAN ON YOUR SHOW, I'M SALINA
ON YOUR SHOW.
AND THEY'RE HORRIBLE PEOPLE.
WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS OUT 
LOUD?
THEY'RE LIKE, OH, MY GOD, I'M 
THE AMY IN MY OFFICE.
I'M LIKE, PLEASE, STOP TALKING.
>> THE LESS YOU RESEMBLE ANYBODY
ON THE SHOW THE BETTER.
>> YEAH, AND I REALLY MISS THEM 
A LOT.
>> ANOTHER GREAT THING ABOUT THE
SHOW, YOU AMONG ALL THE 
CHARACTERS PROBABLY GOT TO DO 
THE MOST PHYSICAL.
>> OH, YEAH, I WASN'T ALLOWED TO
SPEAK.
I WOULD STAND BEHIND SALINA.
MY CHARACTER WAS EVEN CALLED A 
BITCHY MIME ON THE SHOW.
MAYBE YOU DON'T LIKE PEOPLE AND 
YOU CAN'T SAY IT.
>> THAT NEVER HAPPENS.
>> YOU'VE A BODY, I WAS LIKE A 
BODY MAN.
YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE.
>> YEAH, HER NAME IS SARAH.
COULDN'T LIFE WITHOUT HER.
>> THE THING IS, IS IT WEIRD 
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO SOMEONE 
AND SHE COMES UP AND WHISPERS 
SOMETHING IN YOUR EAR ABOUT 
THEM?
BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT 
TO HER.
ISN'T THAT WEIRD THAT I'M GIVING
HER INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERSON
SHE'S TALKING TO?
>> THIS IS THE STRANGE THING 
ABOUT BEING IN THAT ROLE IS THAT
IN MANY WAYS YOU ASK THE TEAM TO
HELP MANAGE YOU.
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
YEAH.
>> THEY'RE KEEPING YOU INFORMED,
THINKING ABOUT ALL THESE 
DIFFERENT THINGS SO YOU DON'T 
HAVE TO, AND YOU REALLY RELY ON 
THAT KNOWLEDGE THEY CAN PROVIDE.
>> I WAS ALLOWED TO NON-VERBALLY
SAY WHAT SHE COULDN'T SAY.
>> I COULD HAVE USED THAT.
>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
SHE DIDN'T LIKE A GUY, AND I 
COULD BE BEHIND HER AND BE LIKE,
WHAT A DOUCHE.
I COULD GIVE A LOT OF 
NON-VERBAL.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS NEW 
PROJECT, "ARCHIBALD'S NEXT BIG 
THING ".
IT'S FOR CHILDREN, ANIMATED.
WHAT'S IT LIKE DOING VOICE WORK?
>> OH, IT'S SO FUN.
THE SHOW CAME FROM, I DID THIS 
CHILDREN'S BOOK YEARS WAG ITH M 
B
BUDDIES.
AND THE SHOW, HE TREATS 
EVERYTHING LIKE IT'S A BIG 
THING.
SO HE SEES THE BEST IN EVERYONE 
AND THE BEST IN EVERY SITUATION,
WHICH I THINK WE NEED MORE OF IN
OUR WORLD, BY THE WAY.
>> SOMETHING AMERICA NEEDS 
ANYWAY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> AND IT'S SO FUN.
AND THE, RECENTLY, MY FRIEND 
JULIE HALL, SHE HAS THIS 
2-YEAR-OLD NAMED HARPER, A SWEET
LITTLE 2-YEAR-OLD, AND SHE WAS 
HAVING A HARD TIME PUTTING 
HARPER IN THE CAR SEAT, AND SHE 
SAYS TONY, WILL YOU DO 
ARCHIBALD'S VOICE FOR HARPER?
AND I WAS LIKE, HEY, HARPER, HOW
ARE YOU DOIN'?
AND THE CHILD WENT INTO A CAT 
TONIC STATE.
SHE STARED.
ALL THE COLOR LEFT HER FACE AND 
SHE WAS ABLE TO PUT HER IN HER 
CAR SEAT.
SO I'M AVAILABLE FOR BIRTHDAY 
PARTIES.
>> THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING 
US.
>> SEASON TWO OF "ARCHIBALD'S 
NEXT BIG THING" PREMIERE
