WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE

>> YES, PLEASE!
>> Stephen: WELL, PEOPLE SAY--
SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT, AND
THEY GO, "THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU
LOOK LIKE."
AND I GO, "NO, THIS IS LITERALLY
WHAT I LOOK LIKE."
SHAVING IS THE ILLUSION.
THIS IS WHAT I ACTUALLY LOOK
LIKE.
>> I PICTURE MYSELF WITH FLOWING
BLOND HAIR, AND A TANNED, TONED
BODY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S
THE REALITY.
BUT NOBODY CAN TELL ME
DIFFERENT.
YOU BE YOU.
YOU BE GRIZZLY ADAMS.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU.
DON'T YOU NEED A BEER FOR
GRIZZLY ADAMS.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHO GRIZZLY
ADAMS IS.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE CULTURAL
REFERENCES, STEVE GLEN WOW!
>> I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW, LIKE,
DETAILS.
>> Stephen: HE WAS A BIG GUY
IN A PLAID SHIRT AND HE HAD A
BIG BEARD AND A BEAR.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW.
WELL, PRESIDENT OBAMA IS BACK IN
THE NEWS AGAIN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: HE'S OUT THERE
CAMPAIGNING AGAIN.
YOU HAVE A LITTLE HISTORY WITH
HIM.
YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THIS PHOTO RIGHT
HERE.
>> OH, ME AND BARACK.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS HAPPENING?
THIS IS IN 2012, I THINK.
>> YES.
I'M JUST MAKING HIM LAUGH.
>> Stephen: AND THEN--
>> DOUBLED OVER WITH LAUGHTER!
I KNOW!
>> Stephen: THAT HAD TO HAVE
BEEN A FANTASTIC FEELING TO GET
A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES-- A CERTAIN PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES-- TO LAUGH.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
WHAT DID YOU DO?
>> OKAY, OKAY, SO I GOT AN EMAIL
SAYING, "HEY, DO ULTIMATE TO
MEET THE PRESIDENT?"
AND I SAID, "OF WHAT?"
THEY SAID, "THE COUNTRY,
YOU'DIOT."
>> Stephen: DID YOU REALLY
THING?
>> I WAS LIKE, "THE PRESIDENT OF
WHAT?"
BECAUSE WHY?
I WAS VERY EXCITED TO HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO AN EVENT
AND MEET HIM.
AND I SHOWED UP-- THE FIRST
PERSON THERE, OBVIOUSLY, APPLE
POLISHIR.
>> Stephen: WAS IT AT THE
WHITE HOUSE?
>> NO, THIS WAS IN LOS ANGELES.
BUT I WAS THE FIRST PERSON
THERE.
AND I WALK INTO THIS ROOM, AND
IT'S JUST THE SECRET SERVICE
AGENT.
HE'S LIKE, "YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE
HERE!"
I WAS LIKE, COOL, GOOD TO KNOW
I'M THE LOSER OF THE GROUP.
AND WE GOT TO TALKING A LITTLE
BIT.
AND HE'S FROM MAINE AND I'M FROM
MAINE, AND THIS PART IS BORING,
BUT IT'S A NECESSARY PREAMBLE.
SO THEN OBAMA COMES IN.
THERE'S, LIKE, MAYBE 30 PEOPLE,
AND WE'RE JUST KIND OF STANDING
AND LISTENING TO HIM AND HE'S
TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE
CAMPAIGN HE'S GOING TO RUN.
AND HE'S DOING THAT THING OF
KIND OF, YOU KNOW, MAKING EYE
CONTACT WITH EVERYBODY BUT NOT
REALLY.
AND I'M GOOG, "OH, MY GOSH, HE'S
LOOKING RIGHT AT ME BUT HE'S
NOT."
BUT THEN HE ACTUALLY LOOKED
RIGHT AT ME AND IT'S VERY
DIFFERENT.
AND I'M VERY EXCITED.
AND HE GOES, "OH, MY GOSH"--
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
HE GOES, "OH, MY GOSH, ANNA WAS
IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES 'UP
IN THE AIR,'" TALKING ABOUT THE
ECONOMY AND THE RECESSION.
AND I THOUGHT THIS IS SUCH AN
INCONVENIENT TIME TO HAVE A FULL
STROKE, WHICH IS, OBVIOUSLY,
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
>> Stephen: SURE, SURE, SURE.
>> AND PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT ME.
AND WE GOT TO SHAKE HIS HAND AND
TAKE A PHOTO.
I SHAKE HIS HAND AND HE SAYS, "I
HOPE YOU I DIDN'T EMBARRASS YOU
EARLIER."
AND I SAID, "YEAH, YOU'RE SUCH
AN (BLEEP)."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( LAUGHTER )
AND HE KIND OF LAUGHS.
AND THEN HE SAYS, "OH, AND
YOU'RE FROM MAINE, AREN'T YOU?"
AND THINKING ABOUT MY
CONVERSATION WITH THE SECRET
SERVICE AGENT, I SAID, "YES.
AND, ACTUALLY, I WAS THE FIRST
PERSON HERE."
AND I START TO TALK ABOUT HIS
SECRET SERVICE AGENT.
AND HE SAID, "OH, ARE PEOPLE
FROM MAINE REALLY PUNCTUAL?"
AND I SAID,s, YOU DIDN'T KNOW
THAT?
YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT.
SO I CALLED HIM AN (BLEEP) AND
SCOLDED HIM FOR NOT KNOWING
ENOUGH ABOUT THE 50 STATES.
SO THAT'S WHAT MADE HIM DOUBLE
OVER WITH LAUGHTER!
YAY!
>> Stephen: DID YOU GET
INVITED TO ANOTHER?
WAS THIS THE LAST ONE OR HAVE
YOU SEEN HIM SINCE?
>> WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THEY
WAY-- OH, NO, NO, NO.
I WENT TO THE KENNEDY CENTER
HONORS AND I GOT TO SING AT
"CHRISTMAS IN WASHINGTON" AND I
MET HIS WHOLE FAMILY SO YES.
COME OANNE.
>> Stephen: WOW, NICELY DONE.
NICELY DONE.
WHAT DID YOU SING?
WHAT DID YOU SING FOR "CHRISTMAS
IN WASHINGTON."
>> I SANG "HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY
CHRISTMAS."
IF YOU'RE GOING TO SING FOR THE
PRESIDENT YOU'RE GOING TO SING
JUDY GARLAND, AM I RIGHT?
GLI TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT.
I HAVE NEVER SUNG FOR THE
PRESIDENT BEFORE
>> AND NOW I'M GOING, IS THAT
WHAT I REALLY SANG.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A NEW
MOVIE CALLED "A SIMPLE FAVOR."
IT COSTARS BLAKE LIVELY.
>> I KNOW.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: AND WHAT'S THE
MOVIE ABOUT?
>> UM, THE MOVIE IS ABOUT THESE
TWO WOMEN WHO ARE KIND OF
OPPOSITES, BUT THEY'RE FRIEND.
AND BLAKE LIVELY'S CHARACTER
GOES MISSING.
AND I HAVE TO KIND OF GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF THIS MYSTERY AND KIND
OF SHE'S NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS, I'M
NOT WHAT I SEEM, AND THERE'S
LOTS OF TWISTS.
>> Stephen: DO YOU MURDER HER?
DO YOU MURDER HER?
>> I WOULDN'T TELL YOU IF I DID.
>> Stephen: THEN YOU MORED
HER.
>> OKAY
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP
FROM THE MOVIE.
YOU CAN TELL US WHAT HAPPENED?
>> YES-- WELL, THIS IS JUST A
POINT IN THE MOVIE WHERE
EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT, JIM,
EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT.
>> HI!
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
SO--
>> I JUST LEFT SOMETHING HERE SO
I WAS JUST-- I-- HAD A KEY--
EARLIER, SEAN GAVE ME A KEY--
>> YOU'RE NOT UNDER ARREST, MISS
SMOTHERS.
F.Y.I.
I HOPE NOT.
>> NO, NO, I--
>> YOU'RE VERY FUNNY.
>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
>> SEAN'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW.
>> YOU KNOW, I WAS ACTUALLY
HOPING TO SPEAK TO YOU.
>> OH!
( APPLAUSE )
>> OH!
MYSTERIES.
>> Stephen: NOW, BLAKE LIVELY
SAID BUTHAT YOU ARE THE HOTTER
FAME VERSION OF HER HUSBAND.
>> ACCURATE, YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND THAT MAKING
OUT WITH YOU WOULD NOT BE
CHEATING.
>> YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: DOES THAT-- DOES
THAT-- DOES WHAT REALLY MAKE
SENSE TO YOU?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THAT YOU'RE THE
HOTTER FEMALE VERSION OF HER
HUSBAND?
>> I'M BASICALLY DEADPOOL,
RIGHT, IN THE SUIT.
>> Stephen: SO I ASSUME THE
TWO OF YOU GOT ALONG?
>> YEAH.
SHE'S AMAZING.
IT'S ACTUALLY ANNOYING HOW
PERFECT AND STATUESQUE THEY ARE
AS A COUPLE SO I DON'T REALLY
LIKE THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO
PERFECT.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND.
HE'S HARD NOT TO LIKE UNTIL YOU
SPEND TIME WITH HIM AND THEN YOU
LIKE HIM MORE AND YOU DISLIKE
HIM MORE.
>> YOU'RE LIKE, HANGING OUT WITH
YOU MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A HOBBIT
AND I DON'T LIKE IT.
NOT A HOBBIT.
HOBBITS ARE LIKE.
LIKE GOLLUM, FULLY GOLLUM--
YOU'RE THE EXPERT.
>> Stephen: A WOMAN HOBBIT IS
NOT NECESSARILY A COMPLIMENT.
>> I REALLY LOVE IT WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT "LORD OF THE RINGS."
>> Stephen: ARE YOU A "LORD OF
THE RINGS" FAN?
>> NO, I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE
YOU UNCOMFORTABLE.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE A FANTASY
FAN, AREN'T YOU?
ARE YOU A TOLKIEN FAN.
>> I DO A "LORD OF THE RINGS"
MOVIE MARATHON.
>> Stephen: YOU DO?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: DO YOU DO THE
DIRECTOR'S CUT.
>> THE EXTENDED CUT.
>> Stephen: THAT'S THE
DIRECTOR'S CUT.
SO THAT MUST TAKE 13 HOURS TO
DO?
>> IT DOES.
>> Stephen: AND I HAVE NEVER
BEEN INVITED.
>> WELL, NOW YOU KNOW.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: I WANTED TO ASK
YOU ABOUT ONE OTHER CELEBRITY,
FREAK-OUT CELEBRITY MEETING
YOU'VE HAD.
I KNOW YOU MET THE PRESIDENT AND
THAT IS STUNNING.
I UNDERSTAND YOU ALSO HAD A
CHANCE TO MEET BEYONCE.
>> MUCH MORE IMPORTANT, YES.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> I MET HER ONCE AT THE
AGREEMENTS AND KIND OF HAD MY
FAN GIRL MOMENT.
AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GO TO
THE GRAMMYS A SECOND TIME AND I
SAW HER IN THE HALLWAY WAITING
FOR THE ELEVATOR.
AND SHE SAID, "HI, I JUST WANTED
TO SAY BLUE, MY DAUGHTER, SHE
LOVES YOU."
AND I WAS LIKE, "WELL, THAT'S
GREAT NEWS, BECAUSE BLUE IS
OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE OUR
INTERGALACTIC OVERLORD AT SOME
POINT, AND SHE'S ON MY SIDE!
SO I'M ASSUMING BLUE IS A FAN OF
POPPY FROM TROLLS, BUT MAYBE SHE
LOVES THE ACCOUNTANT.
I DON'T KNOW.
SHE COULD BE VERY MATURE FOR HER
AGE.
IT WAS A GREAT MOMENT.
BUT I'M GLAD TO KNOW MY FUTURE
IS SECURE.
>> Stephen: I'VE NEVER MET
HER.
>> IT WAS MAGICAL.
>> Stephen: IS IT REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: I ASSUME THERE'S
SOME SORT OF AURA--
>> SHE WAS BITING HER LIP AND
BEING ESSENTIALLY A TODDLER, BUT
THERE WAS SOMETHING --
>> Stephen: OH, BLUE, YOU
MEAN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: OH, I THOUGHT I
THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING BEYONCE
WAS BITING HER LIP AND BEING A
TODDLER, WHICH SHE COULD TOTALLY
GET AWAY WITH.
>> IF SHE DID THAT, SHE WOULD,
LIKE, MAKE IS CHIC.
>> Stephen: ALWAYS A PLEASURE
TO SEE YOU.
>> SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: NEXT TIME I SEE
YOU THIS WILL PROBABLY BE GONE?
>> THE BEARD.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> WHY.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE MY WIFE
REALLY HATES IT.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> WELL, I LIKE HER A LOT.
>> Stephen: AND I LIKE MY
SMOOCHYS.
I LIKE MY SMOOCHYS.
>> SHE SEALS LIKE A SMART LADY.
>> Stephen: SHE IS A SMART
LADY.
"A SIMPLE FAVOR" IS IN THEATERS
NOW.
