[ laughter ] even andy cohen thinks he's messy. [ laughter ] in a new interview, former republican congressman matt gaetz said that he has spoken with president-elect trump about possibly running for governor of florida. and trump shared some advice, specifically set your venmo to private. [ laughter ] president biden announced yesterday that his grand daughter, naomi, has given birth to a baby boy, and he couldn't

have announced it at a more inappropriate time. > my son ves out here in -- in fact, we just got the notification yesterday -- today, it appears that maybe it's still standing. we're not sure. but the good news is i'm a great grandfather as of today. [ laughter ] >> seth: maybe give people a minute to grieve -- [ laughter ] before chiming in with, "but hey, something cool happened to me." [ laughter ] you're clearly a great grandpa because you say whatever you want at any time with no filter whatsoever. [ laughter ] that's right. president biden said his granddaughter gave birth to, quote, a 10 pound 4 ounce baby girl before correcting himself to say baby boy. and already, republicans are accusing him of performing gender reassignment on minors. all five members of the so-called president's club gathered today in washington, d.c. for president jimmy carter's state funeral. and it just goes to show you that as a country, we really don't have a type.

[ laughter ] elon musk said in a new interview that the department of government efficiency probably won't find $2 trillion in savings but added he could still give president-elect trump a, quote, epic outcome. ugh, everything he says sounds like a screen grab from "mortal kombat." [ laughter ] according to a new report, new york is the second best city in the country for an active lifestyle, which is a really roundabout way of saying the trains are broken. [ laughter ] enjoy your active lifestyle. [ laughter ] the house in albuquerque, new mexico that was used as walter white's home in the tv series "breaking bad" is on sale for nearly $4 million. for that house?

give us a fight. come back in july! [ laughter ] finally, a new jersey man was arrested recently for misusing the 911 system after he allegedly called emergency dispatchers 17 times to ask for a ride to a wawa. but that's kind of on the cops for taking him the first 16 times. [ laughter ] that was the monologue, everybody. here we are. [ cheers and applause ] we've got a fantastic show for you tonight. he just won a golden globe last weekend for "a different man," winter soldier in the marvel universe. [ screams and applause ] he's also donald j. trump in the universal film "the apprentice." he is nominated for a golden globe for that role as well. sebastian stan is going to be here tonight for the first time.

[ cheers and applause ] auli'i cravalho will also be joining us. so excited -- a couple of first time guests. [ cheers and applause ]

before we get to all that, as i'm sure you know, los angeles has been devastated by the worst wildfires in its history, which have destroyed entire neighborhoods and communities and displaced thousands of people. it's a harrowing tragedy of unimaginable devastation. and we first and foremost want to send our thoughts and our love to everyone who's been affected. almost everyone who works on this show, myself included, have dear friends and family who have been impacted by this nightmare. and we all just want to say, we are thinking of you. please stay safe. and follow the directions of your local authorities and emergency workers. officials have stressed if you've been told to evacuate, do so immediately. do not wait. just go. if you're in an area that has not evacuated yet, now is a good time to prepare by knowing your evacuation routes and gather the supplies you'll need. and you can get realtime alerts from the fema app as well as an incredibly helpful app called "watch duty" and the los angeles fire department. the images are surreal. the loss is incalculable. but in the face of that loss, friends and neighbors, strangers alike, are banding together to

help one another. the bravery of firefighters and emergency workers has been second to none. no firefighter should ever have to pay for a beer, or because it's l.a., a matcha smoothie ever again. [ light laughter ] the kindness and compassion and resourcefulness and solidarity on display have been nothing short of breathtaking and awe-inspiring. it's as clear as ever that people just desperately want to help one another, which is why we deserve leaders and institutions who will do the same. i think it's also important to say, again in this moment, that climate change is real. it is an imminent and existential threat to the lives and safety of americans, and we must treat it like the crisis it is. unfortunately, there are politicians who would rather spread lies about the emergency response. and i'm not going to name names, but donald trump. his name is donald trump. [ laughter ] all right, i couldn't -- sorry. i couldn't help it. i tried to help it, but i shouldn't have had that second matcha smoothy today. i like them too! [ cheers and applause ] they're good! for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: donald trump has myriad obsessions, but two obsessions that seem to always be at the

forefront of his mind are himself and water. and i think it's because he just scovered what water is. >> when you buy a faucet, no water comes out. >> seth: okay. i'm going to stop you right there. you can't just buy a faucet and get water. [ laughter ] you have to install the faucet. [ laughter ] this is real life. it's not a cartoon. you've got to attach it to a water line, see if you have any more luck. can you see this jabroni at a home depot picking up faucets and saying, "this one's a dud." [ laughter ] "they're all broken." but i interrupted. you were bitching. >> when you buy a faucet, no water comes out, because they want to preserve -- even in areas that have so much water you don't know what to do. it's called rain, comes down from -- comes down from heaven. and they want to do -- no water comes out of the shower. it goes drip, drip, drip. >> seth: and let me just say after four years of joe biden, who was prone to a senior moment now and then, it is so refreshing to have kid science here tell us, it's called rain. [ laughter ]

he didn't even have to google that. [ laughter ] also, dude, it doesn't come from heaven. even god would tell you that. "rain comes from clouds you doink. you think i just made those things so people on mushrooms could look for shapes? this [ bleep ] guy." [ laughter ] and yeah, in my head, god is a new yorker. i'm sorry, that's just the way -- "you think walking on water's a miracle, i'll give you a miracle. catching a cab in midtown during rush hour. ooh, ooh." [ laughter ] "jesus, mary --" [ laughter ] also, could someone tell him he doesn't have to do the sound effects for us. we know what dripping sounds like. [ laughter ] dude clearly never read a book to his kids in his life, but every press conference is like story time at the library. "we're going to close our borders." [ imitating creaking sound ] [ laughter ] trump also has a thing for bottled water, specifically his own, like when he showed up to the scene of the disastrous train derailment in east palestine, ohio. >> we're bringing thousands of bottles of water, trump water actually, most of it. some of it we had to go to a

much lesser quality water. >> seth: all right, first of all, what the hell is trump water? >> it's called rain. >> seth: oh yeah. okay. [ laughter ] it makes sense. he probably just puts a bucket out. second, i want to understand this. not only did you show up to the scene of a disaster with your trump brand of water, but you admit you didn't bring enough. so, you gave people what is, by your own admission, worse water. [ laughter ] what could possibly lesser quality than trump water? "we brought trump water which is the best clear, distilled, filtered water. but some people will be getting eric water." [ laughter ] "it's mostly hot dog stuff from the street vendors and of course some of it dripped from the air conditioners." [ laughter ] and now again, trump is lying about water. this time the water the brave firefighters are using to battle the wildfires -- and by the way, let me just say before we get to trump's comments, that what these firefighters are doing is nothing short of miraculous. look at this incredible clip of the l.a. fire department dumping water on the sunset fire in hollywood. that's amazing. [ cheers and applause ] that is amazing.

they're flying at high altitudes above raging fires and fierce winds and managed a direct hit. it takes me four or five tries to put out a candle in my bathroom. [ laughter ] and yeah, i got candles in my bathroom. every night, when i get home from work, i like to treat myself to a nice, relaxing, candle lit -- [ laughter ] -- bubble bath in a tub filled with -- and i hate to admit this -- trump water. it's the best water. [ laughter ] it is soft on my delicate skin. i'm sorry. [ laughter ] so, the firefighters are doing courageous work. and then, there's the president-elect who has decided to chime in not to help but to spread bull [ bleep ] that will just make the emergency response more difficult. >> the president-elect blaming the biden administration for the fires in california. let me read one of his posts to you. he says, quote, no water in the fire hydrants, no money in fema. that is what joe biden is leaving me. thanks, joe. >> seth: i don't even know what to say anymore. i'm so over this guy. i'm running out of clever retorts, which brings us to a segment called "shut up." ♪

[ laughter ] dude, you're so annoying. just do us all a favor and shut up! >> this has been "shut up." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: yeah. by the way, i'm very aware that some on the right will accuse me of having trump derangement syndrome. but he's the deranged one, not me, you see? [ laughter ] i'm just reacting to his derangement. that's like saying rick on "the walking dead" has a zombie derangement syndrome. does he? or is there just a zombie problem. and look, i realize i'm sounding a little deranged right now, but he's not even in office yet and it's already starting again. the constant beat of his terrible behavior and it's never going to stop. it's just like -- >> drip, drip, drip. [ laughter ] >> seth: i was just setting that up, you guys. i'm totally cool. i'm totally cool. seriously, how does this guy find a way to make everything on earth about himself. it's honestly almost impressive at this point. he brings trump water to train derailments, complains about how the wildfires are hard on him. never invite donald trump to your birthday or he'll somehow end up blowing out all the candles. [ laughter ] and making the wish. oh, is it your birthday too, donald? "yes and no.

no in the sense that's it's january and my birthday is in june. but yes in the sense that i want to eat the cake and make a wish and --" [ laughter ] "i want to take a picture with chuck e. cheese. charles!" [ laughter ] "i call him charles. great guy. charles enteainment cheese." [ laughter ] "we used to hang out in new york in the 80s. those were wild times. i met him at studio 54. it was me, chuck e. cheese and jeffrey epstein." [ laughter ] [ audience ohs ] "jeffrey -- say what you want about jeff epstein. he was great at ski ball." [ laughter ] "and then i saw what he did --" [ laughter ] of course trump is lying. southern california does not have a shortage of water for fighting the fires. there's no relationship between federal and state water management and the intensity of these fires, or the ability of people to fight these fires. some hydrants are running dry not because the region ran out of water but because pressure drops with high demand, making it hard to move water around. wait, you're telling me the guy who thinks you buy a faucet and it just comes with water doesn't know how hydrants work? [ laughter ]

trump also claimed on hihis socl media platform that california governor gavin newsom refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him, that would have allowed millions of gallons of water to flow daily into many parts of california. he wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called the smelt by giving it less water. there's a ton of problems with this. but how exactly do you protect a fish by giving it less water? [ laughter ] "i need water to live." do you, smelt? or are you using it as a crutch? [ laughter ] smelt. but you heard trump. newsome refused to sign the water restoration declaration, a very real document that definitely exists, right? >> president-elect donald trump is blaming the disaster in southern california, even as those homes and buildings burn and residents flee, on california governor gavin newsom. trump posted about the fire several times yesterday on his social media platform. the president-elect claimed governor newsom's water management decisions caused some fire hydrants to run dry, an

idea experts dispute strongly. trump also wrote that governor newsom refused to sign the water restoration declaration, a document that does not exist. >> seth: wait, the water restoration declaration doesn't exist? but i trusted the expertise of the guy who said water that comes from heaven is called rain. [ laughter ] and of course it doesn't exist. you can tell just from the phrase water restoration declaration which sounds super [ bleep ] made up. [ laughter ] it sounds like a name a bunch of stoners would make up for their bong. "i call this her highness, the arch duke of sativa, smoker of kush, and liege of the seven reefer-doms." [ laughter ] "but she is empty, so i declare water restoration." [ laughter ] firefighters and emergency workers are showing tremendous bravery, courage, and the thousands of los angeles residents who've been impacted by this tragedy have shown incredible solidarity and kindness. they deserve similar compassion from their leaders. instead, we have a president-elect taking office who is of, let's say -- >> much lesser quality.

and when it comes to empathy and things like that, it's all out the window. but the film, really, i think we set out to go try and figure out who this person really is. we all have a past no matter where we come from. and i think we owe it to ourselves to give this guy a real closer look, especially if we're going to put so much trust in his hands, right? and i think it should speak for itself if he doesn't want you to see it. that obviously we've tapped some truth there, you know? >> seth: yeah.

[ light laughter ] but, yeah, and so -- and jeremy's incredible.

he's one of our greatest actors, and i was so lucky to work with him. and there's this, sort of, mentorship relationship film at the heart of it. but many people didn't know about that. they don't remember roy cohn and how influential he was. if you go back and look at the research you can really see and predict everything else trump is doing now. >> seth: when i was watching, i was thinking jeremy has maybe done some of the best limousine acting of any of our modern -- just with "succession" and this, no one has done more like real limo acting. >> i think you're right. but he's -- honestly, i loved working with him, and it's important to have a trust and partnership like that. i think we elevated each other. it was a lot of things we improvised in the film. >> seth: as i'm sure you're a huge fan of his work, i'm also -- let's just be honest, don't you wish you had jeremy's confidence to wear his outfit to the globes?

and it's also humbling for me because i've been able to be wiwith them r close to 15 years now. i've grown up with marvel essentially. i grew as an actor, and with this character. it's like i have a brother in a way, a family member i see for thanksgiving every year. that's how it feels. they're so supportive. i think if i didn't have them, honestly, i don't know if i would have taken these chances. >> seth: that's fantastic. >> i've been lucky. >> seth: well, i can't wait for that. good luck. >> yes. >> seth: with oscar nominations. >> i thought you were going to say in 2025 in america. >> seth: good luck.

>> seth: please welcome to the show auli'i cravalho! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ ♪ >> seth: hello, auli'i. i'm so happy you're here. >> i'm so grateful to be here. thanks for having me. >> seth: this is a huge deal for my family that you're here. [ light laughter ] >> i appreciate that. >> seth: and you know what is the bummer? that i'm going to show my kids the youtube and they're e goingo be so turned off that you don't look exactly like moana. [ laughter ] >> i get that all the time. >> seth: do you get it all the time? >> all the time! children are incredibly smart. they look at me, they look at their parent, who's like, waiting with that phone trying to get the perfect picture, and they go, "who is this?" [ laughter ] and i get it. >> seth: yeah. i love that just across this nation right now, there are so many pictures of you beaming with children you don't know who are like -- [ laughter ] >> yes! entirely that. but sometimes -- which, i have to ask.

what ages are your children again? >> seth: 8, 6, and 3. >> that's my entire demographic right there. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> but truly when they're at that special age, i get to feel like santa. when they say -- [ gasping ] "you're moana?!" i am, i am moana! [ laughter ] i am santa. that's me. >> seth: yeah, exactly. it's a weird case where there's not like three different santas at different malls around town. >> right. >> seth: you're moana. >> that's me, baby. >> seth: that's really exciting. [ cheers ] now, they don't want photos. i'm friends with kristen bell. i know she records a lot of voice notes for kids. >> yes. >> seth: do you have -- get that ask a lot? >> all the time. i get asked to make voice notes for six month year olds. and i go, this is for you. this is for the parents. [ light laughter ] this is not for your child. but i find it does work quite a bit. it also helps that, you know, my voice has matured, so in our "moana 2," thankfully i was able to keep my voice here, but that's not the voice. "i am moana." no one knows that, but -- i am moana of motonui! you will board my boat, and restore the -- if i'm up here, people recognize it a lot more. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. and you don't want to be walking

around doing that voice. so i get that it's a little hard. >> no! and then for sally in "cabaret," my voice is now down here and i'm speaking in a british accent and it's very fun. >> seth: oh, my god. it's very fun. [ cheers and applause ] it's very exciting. is it true -- you were talking about your voice has maybe matured, but i do still believe you're the youngest person to ever play sally bowles on broadway. >> i am. >> seth: that's a really cool accomplishment. >> i am. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. it's really fun. you know, i feel like i get to not only interject youth into her but also my queerness and my joy for, you know, it being my first run on broadway. like, when she's excited, i'm just really, really excited. [ light laughter ] and i'm 24, so all that choreography -- i don't know how people do this as they get older. i'm exhausted! [ laughter ] >> seth: because again, broadway debut. >> yeah. >> seth: so, how are you managing your time and your sort of physical health? yeah. [ laughter ] just not doing it, are you? >> no, no, no.

>> seth: are you, like, sleeping in? >> yes. >> seth: okay. >> yeah. i sleep til noon. >> seth: that's not bad. >> that's great! [ cheers ] >> seth: that's a good one. >> i don't know if it's managing my health. it's just being a teenager again. [ light laughter ] >> seth: that'd be a weird thing where the director is like, "i saw 'moana,' you were doing tons of stuff!" you're like, that's a drawing, dude. [ laughter ] >> i'm so sorry. but i would love to get into action. i am peppered with bruises, it's part of the reason i wore a floor length dress today. >> seth: oh, wow. [ laughter ] >> but i figured -- >> seth: broadway bruises? >> broadway bruises. but i just saw sebastian stan on here and i go, that must be why our favorite superheroes wear pants. they're peppered with bruises! >> seth: yeah, 100%. >> right? >> seth: yep, exactly. and then you're not that psyched. if like, captain america showed up to save you and was wearing shorts and was like covered with bruises, you'd be like -- >> yeah! [ laughter ] >> seth: i think this is going to go badly. >> yeah. >> seth: put some pants on, dude. so is it eight -- it's eight shows a week? >> yes. i'm in seven. shoutout to my swings. thank you so much for taking care of me. >> seth: shoutout to all the swings in the world that are helping out. [ cheers and applause ] >> yes. >> seth: when was the -- what was your first experience with the broadway show, "cabaret"? >> ooh.

you know, my good friend mason alexander park actually sat me down and i watched clips -- illegal clips on youtube -- of "cabaret" on their couch. and i watched it and i go, "i think i can do that." and i had originally auditioned for gayle rankin's role, that she then originated with this revival. and it was through those auditions that then i got a callback all those months later. >> seth: that's great. >> so things build on top of each other. a "no" does lead to a "yes" later on. >> seth: you grew up in hawaii, very far from broadway. >> yes! >> seth: what was your first broadway show? how old were you for that? >> oh, i can tell you! i was 16. i watched -- what was that really small show? "hamilton." >> seth: oh, yeah! [ laughter ] >> yeah! lin-manuel miranda -- >> seth: wow! >> -- got me tickets. >> seth: oh, that -- you got it from lin. oh, i guess that's right. you have a real nice lin connection. >> it's true. >> seth: it would be great if you were like, "can i have tickets?" he's like, "i can get you discounted." [ laughter ] i can't get you free, but -- >> can i tell you, i didn't know that house seats for theater -- because i get house seats -- i was like, oh, my gosh, everyone

can come! just take my house seats. you still have to pay for those. >> seth: you do have to pay. >> i didn't know that. >> seth: it is the tricky thing. it's not a comp. >> i didn't know that. >> seth: it's just house seaeat. >> i offered house seats to a lot of people. [ laughter ] i'm not from here. >> seth: you -- the journey from where you were to being cast as the role for moana is really -- it's incredible because it's impossible to imagine anybody else now. but it really was -- i mean the odds were not stacked in your favor. you were just sort of one of many people who submitted themselves for this role. >> yeah, i was tly the last girl on the last day of casting. my friends were auditioning. i saw a bunch of people auditioning for "mona" on youtube. and i went, "i hope that she doesn't get it." [ laughter ] but i also, like -- i grew up on the big island of hawai'i in hawi, kohala. like, you have never heard of that town. [ light laughter ] and i just -- i didn't think that it would be me. so my friends and i put together an audition to become the entertainment of a non-profit

group in my concert glee class. and that was how it came together. a casting agent saw that audition, asked, "hey, who's that girl in the last row, second from the left? do you want to audition for 'moana'?" i thought it was a scam. and like -- long story short, it worked out! >> seth: yeah. >> but -- [ laughter ] i could have never guessed. >> seth: that's amazing. [ cheers and applause ] i auditioned for "moana 2" and it was a scam. i did lose -- yeah. [ laughter ] >> oh, no! >> seth: i definitely -- and i was like -- they were definitely going to use the rock again. why did i think they would -- [ light laughter ] you -- i would imagine your small hometown -- i can only imagine how proud they are. i mean, are they so happy? >> yeah. um, my last name has been in that community for a long time. [ light laughter ] like cravalho. i have a very proud history of being of mixed descent. i am puerto rican, portuguese, chinese, hawai'ian, and irish. coming over for the sugar cane plantations. and like, my family is that entire town. we've all known each other for a really long time. so, yeah. i'm happy for them, too.

>> seth: was there a special screening -- when the first "moana" came out -- >> we don't have a movie theater! >> seth: there you go. [ laughter ] there you go. where was the first time you saw it? did you see it with people for the first time in --? >> "moana"? >> seth: yeah. >> like the first one? >> seth: did you go -- was the first time you saw it at the premiere? >> no, i saw it on a little laptop where moana's, like, hair comes off and like she freezes every now and again and just like moves through space in a strange way. like, i saw -- >> seth: could you tell even with the unfinished animation? >> no. >> seth: were you like, "this might be bad"? >> i was scared. i was so scared! [ laughter ] well, you have to understand, like, this is a culture, the pacific island culture, specifically me coming from hawai'i, i'm used to seeing my people on screen not always portrayed in the most positive of light. and i was really concerned. i go, please mickey mouse, please disney! [ laughter ] likejust make it great. and they really did. and i think that this shows with our sequel as well, that people are wanting more of moana. and you said it as well, to have a young woman who doesn't need a love interest to complete her

story. >> seth: yeah. >> who is going out onto the open ocean to grab a demigod played by dwayne "the rock" johnson by the ear and drag him across a journey across the open ocean, like, that's what people want right now. and i'm really grateful to be part of that story. >> seth: it was a very safe pair of hands. they really took good -- [ applause ] what were your disney movies growing up? what were the ones that you were most connected to? >> i loved "mulan." >> seth: yeah. >> i loved "lilo & stitch." [ cheers ] >> seth: you know what? >> big fan? >> seth: i am of the age where, when "lilo & stitch" came out, i didn't have kids, and it would have been weird if i went to see it. [ laughter ] so i just watched it for the first time. "lilo & stitch" is fantastic. >> it's great! >> seth: it's really great, >> and fun fact, that choir -- ♪ hawai'ian roller coaster ride ♪ that's the school that i graduated from. that's kamehameha schools. >> seth: really?! >> yeah. >> seth: wow! >> yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: unbelievable. so, now i have a couple more questions about the broadway life. >> okay. >> seth: how many nights are

friends of yours at the show that you then have to like, go out and hang out with afterwards? >> i don't do that. >> seth: really? >> i don't do that. >> seth: you just shut it down? >> i -- i -- once again, i am from hawai'i. i don't got a lot of people up here. >> seth: that's true. [ laughter ] >> it's true. >> seth: but you're gonna be -- you won't have to be here long to start making new york friends, and then they're going to be like, "hey, we're coming to the show." >> i don't -- i don't want to. >> seth: okay. [ audience ohs ] [ laughter ] that's great. >> no, i'm really okay. >> seth: i think you -- can i just say something? i feel like you're very direct and that's going to get you very far. yeah. [ light laughter ] >> thank you. >> seth: i think it's good. >> i appreciate that. >> seth: because you said "i don't want to" in a way that i really believed it and it also didn't hurt my feelings. [ laughter ] >> good. good, good, good. >> seth: it's a very exciting time. and also you looked wonderful at the globes. did you have a good time? you presented. >> i had a really good time. can i tell you my favorite part -- favorite thing? it was that i got invited to the after parties -- the best part of the golden globes, by the way. and from behind me, i was leaving one party going to the next. and i heard someone say, "uh, what name is the tickets under?"

and i heard, "last name powell, first name glen." and i went -- that's [ bleep ] glen powell. sorry! [ laughter ] that was very cool. >> seth: i like that that story you heard "first name glen, last name powell," and you're like, "and i immediately knew it was glen powell." [ laughter ] >> yes! thank you for having me. >> seth: you're very plugged in to hollywood.
