>> media asset must be dumping out. >> i'm just getting my pants on. >> the network needs reporters on the ground in afghanistan. are you going to be joining in? >> the travel, or the crying? how many people do you need? he says, welcome to afghanistan. this is where the foreign reporters live. >> welcome to the fun house. havegod, it's so nice to another woman in the house. in afghanistan, you are seriously hot. , you are like a nine, border like 10 -- borderline can. >> what are you, like a 15? >> yeah. how can we get to know each

other? >> [laughter] >> excellent. >> it is bananas. i don't think i can do this. >> we are all here for a reason? >> i wanted out of my job. i wanted out of my mild re-depressive boyfriend. i wanted to blow things up. >> that is the most american white lady story i have ever heard. >> i need a story. i need to get something on the air. >> i think that would be great, that kind of exposure. >> pretty great for you, too. >> get some. >> last night. what happened? >> the usual. kabul happen. first licenseds

female driver hits the road. >> that sucks for women. charlie: joining me is tina fey, screenwriter robert carlock, and one of the producers, lorne michaels. how did this get started? tina: i'm almost embarrassed to admit that i became aware of the book because someone forwarded me the review in which they said, kim barker presents herself almost as a tina fey-like character. then i got the book. charlie: your first book. [laughter] tina: and then i had somebody read it to me. the book was really good and really funny and interesting and well-written and well-observe and about a woman having the starkly comic experience. charlie: did you turn to robert?

first andnt to lorne said, i think this might be a movie. charlie: what did you say, wisemen? [laughter] lorne: i said i was looking for a taliban comedy. [laughter] they called you up and said, i need a taliban comedy. tina: bring ben stiller to this. charlie: so you bought the book rights? tina: i knew that robert was the only person smart enough to do all the research necessary, not only to adapt the book, but about the research about the military and afghan culture and all the things that were required of this adaptation. charlie: and you like kim barker? tina: i do. charlie: you changed it to kim baker. tina: yeah. budget cuts. we could not afford the r. lorne: all the money is on the screen. charlie: what does that mean?

robert: whiskey tango foxtrot. charlie: this is like a writing nl?"ion at "s this, but 16 hours and eventually there is a fistfight. charlie: is it a comedy? is it a drama? is it history? i think that before things were just sold as comedies or just as action pictures, when i was very young we saw the movie "m.a.s.h." and i don't know how you would describe it. charlie: it is good. lorne: i think this is good, too. charlie: you went to new mexico to make it to the cast -- lorne: incredible. tina: billy bob thornton playing the general, martin freeman playing a scottish photographer, and margot robbie plays an idol.

10 and she isre a 15. tina: that is generous, by the way, having seen her at the oscars. she is a 20. robert: i watched "mash." looking for permission. to do the kind of movie worn his talk -- lorne is talking about. kim's book given a lot of freedom to save these are people living in unusual circumstances but funny things happen. charlie: especially in that circumstance. lorne: you want to get the tone right. -- whot the people to lived it to like the movie and say that's the way it was. charlie: have you heard from people who lived it? lorne: yeah, -- tina: kim's friends. lorne: we had a screening a

couple of weeks ago, maybe last week. does kim baker get addicted to war? ins she find this better which you was doing as a copywriter or producer? tina: it is the theme in the book, the idea that people get addicted to this adrenaline lifestyle, in the book. in the movie, she went over there aching she would be there for three months. she stays for three years. she is like a junkie chasing the next story and starts to realize a b it is a dangerous lifestyle to live forever. charlie: when you go to the hotel, there is always a dozen and hotel in the war zone. that is where they all hang out. that is going from sarajevo to -- lorne: the closer to those people in a certain way that you would hear about army buddies

growing up. once you have been through that kind of experience, you're more calmed with the people you're working with than anyone else, or at least you can't talk about what you went through with any other people. robert: one of the things that came through, what the addiction is like, one aspect is you get addicted to not having to live a regular life. you can say, no, i'm not going to the christening in new jersey. i'm in baghdad. tina: it seems extremely important right now. robert: and they are very charlie: -- and they are. charlie: dexter wilkins is a great war reporter. he is off all the time. he cannot resist going there. he knows he is good at the story and you want to do what you do well.

that is part of the magnitude. you are aware of who else is there and who has a deadline and who is going to do the story and everyone from all those other countries as well.it has a flavor to it . they all have nothing in common with local population. charlie: there is competition among reporters. in your case, it is margot robbie's character. tina: she plays tonya vanderpool, someone that my character i lies is and they become fast friends, but there is a healthy competition that eventually turns into maybe less healthy competition towards the end. tonyaarts to realize that is putting herself and others in danger in ways that are not good for anybody. m islie: this is where ki meeting margot robbie. >> can i ask you a favor? feel free to say no. >> sure. >> i hate to bring this up.

can i have sex with your security guy? >> by all means. >> don't just say that to be polite. >> i'm not. that would never happen, so you are good. >> you can have it. he is a serious piece of ass. >> that's nice. you are like a 6, 7 in new york? here, you are a nine, borderline 10. >> what are you here, like a 15? >> yeah. charlie: way back when in the late 1990's when she was at "snl ," do you see who will go to the screen, will be performers, more than just writers, not that "just" should ever be next to the word writer. [laughter] lorne: tina had been a performer since before she got there. she came in is a writer and rose

up. ,harlie: do you see an early whether they had been a performer or not? lorne: yes, but you can also see confidence, when people have had enough time on stage or are feeling good about how they are out there. you saw like conan, something although he had been a writer, not a performer. lorne: he had been in the groundlings, but his dream was to be a performer. where robert's dream is an open net. [laughter] i don't want to have to sound like it is -- that being a writer is not just great. you have that skill as much as tina and set and all the people we know. are peopleink there

who are very good at it that don't enjoy it. charlie: like? lorne: there are -- comedy is still the people that are 20 and miserable all the time. miserablee funny and all the time. it is not something that rings them joy. they do it and they are good at it, but they are not fun to be around. comedy is probably too important to leave to professionals. when you are around people who are funny, the thing that makes the most fun is that when you are around someone funny, they are funny. that. charlie: you said at -- you like that. charlie: you said adam mckay was like that. tina: funniest man in the room. lorne: adam brought tina. tina: adam gave me my job, brought me to "snl" as a writer. charlie: when you are the

funniest person in the room, is it just off-the-cuff funny? tina: yeah. lorne: it also helps when you are adam's size. a little intimidation. [laughter] charlie: do you want to direct films? robert: i would like to direct the film. tina: charlie is going to be cut out of this. please just restate the question. robert: i thought this was just going to be me. why did you say that? charlie: so you could use it without me. robert: i was repeating the question to process the question. charlie: people always do that. robert: i'm sure. [laughter] who would do that? not a presidential candidate, we know that. i have directed a few television shows and enjoy it, but it does eat you up. i like the idea of directing. anyone house looking over my shoulder and

wanting the money back. charlie: directing gets done, but not costing zero dollars. tina: for many things, yes. for joke writing. i started working on weekend update when call and quinn -- colin quinn was on. they had extra guys writing jokes and trying to write a contain joke that is in itself is a difficult thing. robert was a producer of weekend up date when jimmy and i did it. the thing that is the amazing gift about weekend of you sit in front of the camera every week and you tell america, high, i'm tina fey. , butast is working so hard they are in wigs and noses and even as a viewer, i am like, is that kyle? is that -- who is that?

lorne: one of the things about --ate robert: we knew we were going to get our 10 minutes. lorne: there were shows that ended at 10:30 and movies that ended at midnight. if you are just tuning in, you could catch that. the audience is already warmed up. you know what kind of house it is, which makes it much easier than opening the show. charlie: if you want to see political satire, where do you see it other than "saturday night live?" ande: on "the daily show" "key and peele" are doing.

tina: john oliver. lorne: yes. doing it in a news format. something -- is there is a certain ability, like there was with will ferrell playing george w or dana playing , or darrell playing clinton, in order for it to work, there has to be some charm. you can't editorialize. you have to bring the person to life. if you are just editorializing them and you disapprove of them and don't like them and point at that performance, it won't work. you have to commit to making the person likable, even though whatever you feel personally is not that. trust that the writing make the other part clear. charlie: he is there. was it easy? was at the end goal, to find

whatever you thought made something about this person charming or likable? did it, what, eight years ago now? a lot of us wanting to figure out what is the joke? what is true about this whole situation? i was talking about chris rock and why i think he is a genius. and finde a situation something that is true that no one has noticed yet. that is what we're trying to do. robert: it is a player with such good cheer all the time. the take is not negative. charlie: there's a sense that you cannot wait to -- lorne: because if you are just justlding -- scolding, there are no last, and it is not fun. it is your decision to make the

audience determine what you were influencing. here is an idiot. charlie: did it make you come back? lorne: -- tina: at the end of the run eight years ago, i thought was probably -- i am at the age now i was when she started. lorne: she came back with palin endorsed trump. at the 40th anniversary, we had that as a question. jerry seinfeld doing q and a and she asked him something, -- tina: i said how much would you it?me to come back and run lorne: and then donald trump. it is prescient. tina: thank you, iowa.

break from myke a full-time career of writing things on facebook to fly down here and lend my support to the next president of the united states, donald j trump. [applause] >> hey, america. isn't she great? she's the total package. smart, legs, yelling, everything. i haven't seen a woman this impressive since jeb bush. tina: i'm here for you teamsters, charmers, whether you girls,om, two broke three men and a baby, holy roller pushing strollers through bowlers with an abscess molar. >> she is a firecracker. she is a real pistol. she's crazy, isn't she? tina: [shouting]

charlie: that is solid, isn't it? tina: i think about making that jacket. the snl wardrobe had to make that jacket. they could not find it. charlie: creating the character is crucial. tina: i think so. charlie: you just practice. tina: i would watch that over and over and try to match pitch. i try to do things that i've seen darrell hammond do for years, who was so gifted at that stuff. charlie: you said genius for chris. chris is generally considered to be a genius at this. lorne: he is the real thing, yeah. charlie: is it delivery? lorne: he will tell unpleasant angst to an audience that really isn't interested in hearing it, but he will do it with charm and it will be truly funny. it isn't always popular. he just goes into the areas where it is easy to with a crowd

up to agree with you, or find whatever it is you want to hear and tell them that. he is a truth teller, and certainly in both communities. he does not spare anyone. charlie: you gave him high marks for the oscars? lorne: yeah. charlie: this is another clip from the film. billy bob thornton and tina fey. there you familiar with term forward -- 4-10-4? they are four's when they ship out, they are tens here, and you are a four when you get back home. tina: are you saying i am a four? charlie: -- >> you are wearing an orange backpack. i have seen people make bad decisions and here. you will not distract my men. >> you are not

-- >> you are not here to perform any type of jobs on my marines. clear copy, ms. baker? >> copy. >> captain stern will see to it that you get a wet hooch. >> what? >> it is a tent with a shower, unless you prefer a dry hooch. [laughter] charlie: what does it say about film?his robert: i was want to make this is abouthis movie people following the policy decisions, whether that is a decision made by a media company or politicians or what have you. it is not a movie about big statements. it is about individuals and whether these experiences make a stronger or not. charlie: is writing film different from what you have

been doing most of your life? robert: it is, yeah. it is a much more solitary endeavor, which is the last thing anyone wants to hear about, the writer alone at the typewriter. part of what i love about tv is the close collaboration, and this was collaborative as well, ultimately, but it is different. lorne: there is also a wonderful speech at the end of the movie, which i'm not going to do -- [laughter] perspectivets it in because it comes out of the voice of a soldier. just where we are in the continuum of this war in afghanistan and the number of people who came before us from different countries and different armies. it is the boundary people have been fighting over or a long time. charlie: the other thing is that in terms of what we are reminded of was at the white house

when president gave the middle of honor to a member of seal team six who literally jumped on top of someone as a terrorist try to kill them. --is the extraordinarily extraordinary sense of people who act in a distinctively -- act instinctively. lorne: americans have been sacrificing themselves since the beginning of the country. we have a strong military tradition. we showed the movie in washington last week at the naval memorial and there were a lot with terry people there. -- lot of military people there. the reaction from there as an audience was different from what we saw in new york and l.a.. they identify with and can see that some of it rings true or we

got it right. charlie: some people look at this and they would ask this question. is it simply acting that turns you on, or would you like to do more things that have a dramatic aspect? tina: i think that there are dramatic moments in this movie, but i think any good story is going to have comedy and drama to it because i feel that real-life has that and i am suspect of any movie that is 100% drama, all the time. not realistic to me. charlie: are we also looking at a time because of streaming, because of success of hbo and showtime and all that, that the options for people who produce it, programming is bigger and better than it has been? tina: there are a lot about let's read charlie: for longform and short form? lorne: there are a lot of shows on netflix. charlie: i know.

lorne: where do you go to see netflix? tina: go to your phone. lorne: oh. charlie: thank you. tina: thank you for having us. charlie: we will be right back. ♪

>> jonas eris is here. he vote a -- he wrote a provocative piece in 2011 titled "let's start paying college

athletes. the article explored the inequity of the ncaa which generates billions of dollars each year, but does not compensate its players. he is co-written a book that reveals more about one of america's most powerful institution and is one of the voices leading for change. "indentured." the ncaa? i grew up. joe: we all did. charlie: i could not wait. joe: i grew up in providence. i was a huge fan of the friars. when we were growing up, and even beyond, you had the sense that the ncaa were the white hats and the people going

after them, like ale brown, were the bad hats. you look into it and spent some time on it and you realize, actually, in many cases, the ncaa was a power-mad, ruthless, vengeful organization. charlie: let's go through those. power-met? joe: yeah. they created in enforcement mechanism and they also controlled tv rights. he was a my way or the highway guy. if you did not do things his way, you were on the blacklist. if you said something about the ncaa you do not like, and this is what happened to tarkanian, they go after you. charlie: they look to places where you are violating rules that they have created very joe: for they can make it -- created. joe: or they can make it up. to therkanian went

university of las vegas, they unlvd in investigation at nine days after he took the job. how could they have violated his rules in nine days? they did not like him. one of the reasons we know this is because tarkanian litigated for 20 years. there are people under oath who basically said, the investigators said to me, we are going to get him, run him out of college sports. headded -- the investigator had to admit under oath that he called tarkanian a rug merchant. he went on to be the head of division i. all the criticism in recent years has changed a little, but it still has incredible power over the athletes who are basically 18, 19, 20 years old, who have no means to really fight back. charlie: here are the questions

you posed in the "new york times." how can the ncaa ruin careers without due process or common fairness? how can it act so rude -- ruthlessly to enforce rules that are so petty, and why won't to violations of american justice? joe: five years later and it drives me crazy. charlie: it really does make you angry. joe: it does. i would not go that far. [laughter] i was at this table during the financial crisis, and i was not exactly a wallflower. lawyersoticed this with getting involved with ncaa stuff -- you don't expect it. thisess fraud, volkswagen, pops up all the time and you become cynical about it.

the first time you look into the ncaa and realize there is no due process and they can say anything they want about any athlete and there is nothing the athlete can do. the first time you see it, you are shocked. you can't believe in american institution can operate this way. case, that shot, in my comes anger. prologue tells a story about a player named ryan boatright. it was the way they treat her mother, a single black mom in illinois with four kits. they are harassing her and demanding every check she has written for the last four years and the reason is because her ex-con former boyfriend, as an act of vengeance, called up the ncaa and accuser about this the. charlie: and it was not true? joe: will some of it was. a friend gave her money so she could accompany her son on

college visits. charlie: a lot of those rules are crazy to most people. joe: even the president of the ncaa said some of our rules are idiotic. onyou have a hagel, -- bagel it, if you put cream cheese on it, it is as a rules. they can put cream cheese on it, but if you put an egg on it --i'm not making this stuff up. he sees himself as a reformer. he says he is hamstrung by his membership. the thing he could do that he does not want to do is that the internal culture needs to be blown up. he does not need the membership to do that. it needs to become a more compassionate and more common-sensible place. charlie: towards the athletes that make up the games? joe: absolutely. charlie: they are slaves, you suggest. joe: i don't go that far.

i say indentured. there is a difference. charlie: come on. when you use the word indentured, what comes with it? joe: they are to a large degree shackled. slavery is slavery. i can't quit the school. charlie: it is a far reach. joe: right. charlie: why did you use the word indentured? joe: indentured servants were people were indentured to somebody, they've got no money, they stayed until their tenure and their bossp, pretty much control them, but they could leave. there are three things that are offensive about this. one is everyone else is getting, all the adults are getting rich in the layers are getting nothing -- and the players are getting nothing. the adults are coaches.

charlie: the people getting rich are the universities. joe: no, the people bash charlie: -- no, the people -- charlie: how much do you think the university of alabama football brings to the university? joe: a lot. but nick sabin is the best in the world. charlie: i have not looked closely at all the argument they make, but they are coming here as athletes, but they are getting a life experience, in some cases they will go four years and get a degree, rarely in terms of some, but they, and they get some, and that is worth something. joe: here is what i would say to that. 95% of them don't become

trouble. the bargain university has made his we will give you education any better like. university has not lived up to that bargain. we all know that. charlie: argan in a meeting that if you don't play the sport -- bargain, in that few don't play the sport you are sought to play, you don't have access to the education the university offers? joe: no. ineligibility. look at north carolina. painful subject for you. charlie: it is. think north carolina is the only college in the state with fake classes to keep athletes eligible-- charlie: it is awful. joe: the bargain the universities make with the students, they do not the bargain. most of the athletes, their only window -- ] charlie: what is the part of

the bargain, the university? joe: play for us, we will give you an education and the prospect of a better life. you say, look, pay them for what they are, but don't go way out of your way to educate them. just pay them. joe: i think, as a matter of fairness, they should get some money. charlie: just a matter of fairness that they should get money. i think you should be arguing hard they should figure out a way they can somehow get through this notion of giving young athletes some benefit for being at the university. joe: i totally agree with you. i also think they should get some money. i have a salary cap. charlie: $25,000? joe: i am not a complete market guy. you know. north carolina is just about to spend $25 million for an indoor practice facility for the football team.

you know, why do they do that? because they want to recruit. they want to show the glitter and glamour for the high school kids. look at this facility. with how amazing it is. is beyonde facility belief. i would argue that instead of spending hundreds of onions of dollars on these -- hundreds of millions of dollars on the facility, spend some to recruit the athlete. i went to boston university because they gave me more scholarship money than anyone else. money was a factor in my decision to go to college. charlie: create a bidding war for college athletes? joe: absolutely. with limits. if kentucky says -- charlie: we will pay you 25, and we will pay you 25, and some college that has never made the final 16 says we will pay you 40, -- there is no cap? joe: i have a salary cap,

whether it is a $25,000 minimum for every player, and leave half the cap to recruit. i don't mean to be so complicated. the essence of the idea is there is nothing wrong. you're mentally blocked on this. there is nothing wrong with using money, as happens with any other students on the university, to attract players. there is nothing immoral about it. it is ok for lebron. it is ok for kobe. -- yet, it is somehow immoral? i think they should have agents. charlie: to represent them between high school and college? joe: every hockey player in college has an agent. they don't talk about it, they don't get paid, but when a hockey player comes out of high school in canada, he has a series of complicated decisions. calls theuzz integer

ncaa the country's most corrupt institution. joe: i would say the nra, but the ncaa is up there. charlie: you see them like you see the nra? joe: i would not go that far. charlie: taylor branch says the incident should be impaired compared to a plantation. joe: i will tell you something illegal. walter byers said it. he may be ncaa powerful from 1961 to 1986 and then turned against them and wrote a memoir in which she did lee overtly -- in which he did overtly compare the ncaa to a plantation. charlie: that is a great story. why did he change his mind and said, the thing i created is -- joe: i believe he was the power-mad guy. he was in his 90's when i was

working on this book and i tried like crazy to get an interview. he would not talk to me. this is the only question i wanted to ask him. why did you change your mind? he would not answer. my theory -- charlie: what did his son say? joe: he wouldn't tell me, either. charlie: you did not do so well. joe: i completely failed on this coming you are right. court in 1984 supreme theng that took away television rights and give it to the schools. you could only be on twice a year, and only make so much money, so one. charlie: whatever is on tv, we get a piece of it. joe: basically half of byers' power, he lost half of his power.

i think he turned against the ncaa because he lost a lot of his power. charlie: who instituted it? joe: university of oklahoma and texas were the prime drivers. just as the power five in the last few years have taken more control, in the old days there was something called the cfl that made up the big football schools that were fighting the ncaa. charlie: bill friday, former president of the university of north carolina was a great friend of mine. i spoke at his memorial service. he used to say to me every six months, why are you not doing stuff about corruption in college athletics? charlie: -- joe: he was a great man. he founded the knight foundation, but he failed. everyone that was trying to keep

academics as a primary has failed because football is too big a business, there is too much money at stake, and the board of trustees all think a are jerry jones. they care more about the football team than the history department. how about that one? charlie: really, joe? [laughter] joe: i have seen it enough time. charlie: because of the amount of money it rings in. joe: everybody wants to win. i want to win, too. the friars are in the top 20 for the first time in 10 years. you think i'm not following that? charlie: here is what is interesting -- whether reform can come out of this that will really benefit both the university -- i would like to see something for where every scholarship they give to an athlete, they have to give a scholarship to a computer nerd. joe: i'm for that. charlie: the smartest young

physicist in high school today and give him the best. they may get that education anyway because there are all sorts of scholarships available for students. joe: reform is tough. the legal system as declared the ncaa rules in violation of antitrust and yet the legal system has been unwilling to overturn an change anything. the union drive, which we recount, a chapter that ben wrote, about the northwestern union drive basically failed, it to tell you the truth, will sound more radical than things i have said, but the model is the missouri football team from last fall. charlie: what they did was so amazing and to be admired. joe: the issue was racist on campus. team as heotball unit took a stand. joe: the protest went on six

weeks. said we willteam go on strike and the president resigned in six hours. charlie: did ever university present take notice? joe: i bet they did. i know it is hard to cut us they are 19-year-old kids with their future in front of them, but if one team would refuse to come four, it wouldal change within hours. almost did it. they had a secret plan to go on strike and duke beat them. name another way that duke has caused trouble.
