>> Stephen: WE HAVE CAPTURED
TOM HANKS FOR YET ANOTHER ACT TO
TALK TOGETHER.
>> THERE IS NOTHING ON TV
TONIGHT.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS.
>> Stephen: AS FAR AS I'M
CONCERNED, THERE IS NOTHING ON
TV.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: I WANTED TO ASK
YOU ABOUT YOUR FRIEND JOH JONATH
DEMME, WHO I KNOW IS A DEER DAER
FRIEND OF YOURS AND YOU DID
"PHILADELPHIA" TOGETHER.
>> HE PLAYED A CAMEO, HE'S A
MOVIE DIRECTOR.
GOD BLESS HIM.
I LOVE HIM.
IT'S BEEN A TOUGH WEEK, FRANKLY.
MY WHOLE PRODUCTION COMPANY CAME
ABOUT BECAUSE OF JONATHAN.
HERE'S THE THING ABOUT WORKING
WITH JONATHAN.
JONATHAN, ALL OF HIS MOVIES WERE
LIKE YOU WERE HANGING OUT WITH
THE MOST WELL-LIKED AND HIPPED
ADJUNCT PROFESSOR AT YOUR STATE
COLLEGE BECAUSE HE DRANK WINE
DURING OFFICE HOURS.
"COME ON IN!
COME ON IF!
SIT DOWN!"
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
HE HAD THIS POLICY THAT NO OTHER
MOVIE DIRECTORS HAVE, WHICH IS
ANYBODY CAN COME TO DAILIES.
USUALLY DIRECTORS SEE DALYS IN A
LOCKED BUNKER IN THE FORMER
SWIMMING POOL OF THE WHITE HOUSE
AND YOU HAVE TO PUT, YOU KNOW,
THUMB PRINTS ON IN ORDER TO GET
DOWN.
JONATHAN WOULD SAY, "COME ON."
HE WOULD PUT ON PIZZA, PUT ON
MUSIC, SHOW WHATEVER THE DAILIES
WERE.
I WAS AT DAILIES ONCE SITTING
NEXT TO A GUY WHO WAS WEARING A
MATCHY-- IT WAS AN ODD OUTFIT--
HE WAS WEARING A MATCHING PURPLE
SEE THE AND I HAD NEVER SEEN THE
GUY BEFORE.
PURPLE JACKET, PURPET PANTS.
AND HE WAS SITTING THERE, HAD A
CUP OF WINE, SOME PIZZA, WATCH
SOMETHING M.O.S. STUFF.
AND I THOUGHT HE WAS FROM THE
PROP DEPARTMENT, ONE OF THE
ACCOUNTANT-- THERE'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE ON THE MOVIE YOU NEVER
SEE.
AND I SAID, "HEY, MAN, HOW YOU
DOING?"
"PRETTY GOOD, YEAH."
"IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME AT
DAILIES?"
"YEAH."
"WHAT DO YOU DO HERE AT THE
MOVIE?"
"I DON'T WORK ON THE MOVIE."
"WHO ARE YOU?"
"I'M THE FEDEX MAN."
( LAUGHTER )
HE WAS THE FEDEX GUY-- FEDEX!
HIS CAR IS, LIKE, PARKED IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE STREET, AND
JONATHAN SAID, "HEY, MAN, HOW
YOU DOING?"
HAVE A ROUGH DAY?
I'M ALMOST DONE.
YOU WANT TO WATCH THE DAILIES?
WHAT ARE DALYS?
IT'S KIND OF LIKE WATCHING A
MOVIE THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
SURE.
THE GUY SAYS TO ME, "IS THAT
DENZEL WASHINGTON?"
"YEAH, YEAH, IT IS, AS A MATTER
OF FACT, YEAH."
"IS HE IN THE MOVIE, TOO?"
"YEAH."
"IS HE IN DAILIES?"
"NO."
"OH, I'D LOVE TO MEET HIM.
I'M TELLING YOU A SLIGHT STORY
BUT I'M NOT FAR OFF THE MARK.
>> Stephen: THERE YOU ARE.
>> A SWEET GUY.
ANOTHER GREAT THING ABOUT HIM,
HE WAS--
( APPLAUSE )
THE FIRST TIME I TOOK MY WIFE
OUT ON A BONA FIDE DATE, AS IN,
"WOULD YOU-- WOULD YOU-- ARE YOU
DOING ANYTHING TOMORROW NIGHT?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO OUT TO
MAYBE HAVE DINNER AND MAYBE A
MOVIE WITH ME?"
SHE SAID, "SURE.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO SEE?"
", I DON'T KNOW.
WHY DON'T WE CHECK OUT WHAT'S
PLAYING."
"HOW ABOUT 'STOP MAKING SENSE'?"
"I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD
MOVIE."
I TOOK MY WIFE OUT AND "STOP
MAKING SENSE.
>> Stephen: TALKING HEADS--
>> CONCERT MOVIE.
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE
GREATEST CONCERT MOVIES THAT AND
THE "WALL."
>> JONATHAN DEMME AND MARTIN
SCORSESE.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO GO IN A
MINUTE HERE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE
GIVEN ENOUGH TO AMERICA AT THIS
POINT.
WE WANT TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK
TO YOU.
EVERY DAY ONE OF THE-- THE YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO WORKS HERE, ONE OF
THE ASSISTANT PRODUCERS--
>> ONE OF THE MILLENNIALS.
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE
MILLENNIALS THEY CALL EACH OTHER
MILLENNIALS.
>> ONE OF THE YOUNG
OUT-OF-CONTROL YOUNG PEOPLE WHO
WORKS IN YOUR OFFICE.
>> Stephen: SHE PUTS UP THE
HUNK OF THE DAY.
AND SHE RECENTLY PUT UP THIS
HUNK OF THE DAY.
TODAY'S HUNK IS TO THE HUNKS.
>> OH, WAIT A MINUTE!
HOLD ON!
>> Stephen: OKAY?
OKAY?
THERE IT IS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: IT GOES ON TO SAY,
"ENOUGH SAID, RIGHT?
NOPE, I'VE GOT MORE TO SAY.
EVERY TIME TOM SAYS 'DON'T CRY
SHOP GIRL'.
GUESS WHAT, I DO."
THANKS FOR BEING A HUNK.
I KNOW YOU HAVE OSCARS.
I KNOW YOU HAVE EMMYS.
I KNOW YOU HAVE AGREEMENTS?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: BUT NOW YOU HAVE
HUNK DAY.
KENNEDY CENTER HONORS AND HUNK
OF THE DAY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
DO YOU HAVE AN ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> YOU WANT TO GO OUT OVER --
>> Stephen: WE'LL GO OUT OVER
THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.
>> LET ME GET THREE WORDS INTO
IT AND PLAY ME OFF --
>> Stephen: BEFORE YOU DO
THAT.
"THE CIRCLE" IS IN THEATERS NOW.
TOM HANKS TAKE IT AWAY.
>> I OWE THIS FANTASTIC MOMENT
TO MY FIRST TEACHER WHO TAUGHT
ME EVERYTHING I KNOW, TO MY
BEAUTIFUL WIFE, RITA!
TO MY KIDS!
I LOVE YOU!
GOOD NIGHT!
