Hi.
Hi.
OK, so Gaten.
Yes.
Caleb.
Yes.
Finn, Noah.
Yes.
All right.
I'm Finn.
Huh?
I'm Finn.
OK, Noah, Finn.
OK, sorry.
No, that's Finn, Noah.
He's messing with you.
This guy's a jokester.
Don't do that to me.
All right, so the
show is fantastic.
And explain it--
for those people
who have not seen the show
yet, explain what it is.
So Stranger Things is
about a group of kids
who are all best friends.
And one of the friends,
Will, goes missing.
And they all try to go
find him, but they end up
finding a lot more
awful and kind of great
stuff about the town.
It's not like a
kidnapping story.
It's more of like he goes
missing out of thin air.
Yeah.
Like on another realm?
Another realm.
Yes, I'm still trying
to figure out exactly.
It seems like it's
an alien thing.
That's the good thing about it.
It's so mysterious.
It's very mysterious.
All right, so it's
a really cool show.
And all of a sudden-- because
they all come out at once.
You don't know
what you're doing.
And then it airs, and
then it's a huge hit.
And like at what point did you
know that it was a huge hit,
and then what was that
like to go to school again?
Yeah, when I kind of realized
it was a big hit, social media--
it really took off there.
It was a lot
quicker to see that.
But I was getting a
lot of prom proposals.
Ah.
And I would joke around.
At first, I would be like,
yeah, sure, like a joke.
And then they'd be
like, OK, address.
And they would put their add--
I'm like, I'm not
going to prom with you.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're very
serious about it.
Very serious.
The first time I got recognized
was here in Los Angeles.
I think it was like
during press time.
And a kid came up to me.
And he's like, are you
Caleb Reginald McLaughlin?
I'm like, whoa.
How do you know my middle name?
My middle name's not out there.
He was like, are you?
I'm like, yeah.
He's like, oh, awesome.
So that was kind of creepy.
But it was awesome
at the same time.
Well, they're looking
up everything about you
if they're that big of a fan.
Where do you live, then, if
you don't live in Los Angeles?
I live in New York.
And all of you live in New York?
Jersey.
No.
Oh.
Me and Noah are from New York.
And where do you shoot this?
Atlanta.
Atlanta.
All over the place.
Oh, wow.
So are you there
with your parents?
Or are you on your own?
And they just--
All on my own.
I have my own apartment.
We all live in a big two
story house together.
That's wonderful.
I don't believe a word you say.
Because now I'm on to you.
Yeah.
We're doing a new
reality TV show.
Yeah.
No, you're not.
[LAUGHTER]
I heard it too, like, huh?
Oh, my god.
But you have a lot of fans.
I don't know how many
people have seen the show,
but it's really good.
President Obama loves the show.
You met him, right?
Yes.
That was cool.
That's pretty cool to know that.
We were there at
the White House.
We were there for the
film festival we had to.
We were announcing some
of the final films there,
the film finalists there.
Oh, look.
There's the picture.
Oh, look at that.
Wow.
We are small babies
in that picture.
Wow.
Yeah, we're standing
there in this line.
And then all of a sudden, we
hear Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb
McLaughlin, like in this,
like, booming voice.
And we look over.
This guy's in uniform.
Like, it was crazy.
And so then we
walk in this room.
And there he is.
It was awesome.
Yeah.
He was there.
And it was so cool.
He's Obama.
It's Obama.
And he's like super tall.
He said, hey, how are you doing?
In control.
Yeah, he's very chill.
Yeah.
The very chillest.
He's the best.
So tell everybody, and
tell me, especially,
because I want to know.
I've seen the pilot of
this second season so far.
That's what I've seen.
So I know something.
But what is going to happen?
What can you tell us
about this season?
You want to go?
You got it.
For Will, I mean, obviously,
he's going through a lot.
He's coping with, like,
what happened to him before.
Joyce and Hopper are kind of
examining him in like a lab
and seeing what's happened.
Yeah, Wynona Ryder
plays your mom.
And I'm upset right now, just
seeing the pilot, that they're
taking you to--
that they don't believe
you, what you're seeing.
Like, they went and got you.
Why don't they believe you?
It sucks.
All right.
We're the only
people that believe.
Parents should believe
when their kids--
My own mom.
Yeah, not even believing.
She's the only person
that ever believed
that there's like a monster
under the kid's bed.
No other parent
would believe that.
And put the lights up and
everything, and waited for--
it's a really good show.
It's really cool.
You ever seen it?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
That's a good amount
of people, I'd say.
It's very popular.
I mean, what is it like
to go back to school?
Like, what happens
when you're in school?
I'm home schooled.
Ha.
I go to public school.
You go to public school.
People must freak out.
I couldn't eat lunch
for a week, just
because there was like a
line forming at the table.
Yeah.
It was funny.
Honestly, like a line.
Yeah.
I'm eating a burrito.
I'm looking-- what?
What about y'all?
For me, I mean, when I first
came back, this girl was like--
put me in a headlock and tried
to take a picture with me.
[LAUGHTER]
This first snapshot.
Because people were mobbing me.
She said, can I put
you on Snapchat?
And I said, uh, maybe not.
I've already done a lot today.
And she went, oh, that's cool.
And I went--
[APPLAUSE]
