[ laughter ] it's too weird to be real. [ laughter ] president trump today -- woo. [ laughter ] sorry. it's just hitting me. i haven't said that in four years. what a flashback. it feels like asking someone if they went with pfizer or moderna. [ laughter ] donald trump was sworn in today as the 47th president of the united states while melania was sworn in as the hamburglar? [ laughter ] during his swearing in today,

president trump did not place his hand on the bible. wow, not the guy i expected to bring back the separation of church and state. former president joe biden issued preemptive pardons today for many of trump's adversaries like water pressure, wind, and taylor swift. [ laughter ] president trump's inauguration was held inside the capitol for the first time. "oh, we know how to get there," said his supporters. [ laughter ] "inside? we're on our way." [ applause ] "we're on our way chief." vice president j.d. vance was sworn in today by supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. call me old fashioned. that just doesn't sound like something two guys named j.d. and brett would be up to. [ laughter ] they sound like two guys who would be in an e.r. waiting room after messing with illegal fireworks. "it was j.d.'s idea." [ laughter ] "don't rat on me, brett." [ light laughter ] tiktok went offline on sunday in the u.s. for several hours.

and that was how a lot of people found out they had a teenager. "oh." [ laughter ] while speaking yesterday at his preinauguration rally, president trump bragged about saving tiktok and said, quote, "frankly, we have no choice. we have to save it." after all, it's the only place on earth where he's not the worst dancer. [ laughter ] president trump attended chruch today with first lady melania trump, vice president j.d. vance, and rudy giuliani. and it was going well until rudy started taking cash out of the collection plate.

and finally, walgreens ceo tim wentworth recently told investors that locking products in cases has resulted in a decrease in sales. perhaps the most shocking part of that story is that investors were able to find a walgreens employee.

>> seth: donald trump held a pre-inauguration rally in washington on sunday where he ushered in a new era of american greatness and prosperity the way so many american presidents have before him, by pointing out that the village people have gained a few. >> you have a little special treat. and i won't tell you, but let's put it this way. it's the people that 30 years ago had a hot song, never hit number one. hit number five. but 30 years later, it hit number one, week after week. and they're here to sing. they're here to sing. for you. and you won't recognize them. they're slightly larger than they used to be, but that's the way life goes. >> seth: "they're larger than they used to be. i guess they were having so much fun at the ymca, they forgot it was a gym." [ laughter ]

"starting to think they were doing other stuff there." [ light laughter ] not only did he point out they've gained weight, he also dissed their most popular song. i love how trump will exaggerate his own accomplishments, but he's to the letter for everyone else. for the intro, just, can you say, "they're here to play their hit song?" "okay. but i won't say it was number one." [ light laughter ] "unless it was really number one. elections are rigged, but billboard charts are sacrosanct." [ laughter ] but the village people aren't the only ones who got dissed by trump this weekend. trump also managed to burn his own supporters by canceling the outdoor inaugural festivities and moving everything indoors, where the crowds were not allowed. >> for the first time in 40 years, the presidential inauguration will be held indoors. >> trump will now take the oath from inside the capitol rotunda. so, capacity is much smaller. so many guests who expected to attend the event won't be able to see the ceremony in person now. >> the national park service told us yesterday morning that they have removed all of those jumbotrons that they placed out there. >> the vast majority of ticketed guests will not be able to attend the ceremonies in person.

>> hundreds of thousands of others learning their tickets are now just souvenirs. >> there's a lot of disappointed trump folks in town, though, trump supporters who have travelled at great expense to head to washington, fly all over the country, hotels in dc. extremely expensive this week, because of the inauguration. and they are largely shut out of the events. >> hundreds of thousands of trump supporters left out in the cold. >> it feels awful. i understand, but really disappointed. >> limited indoor space preventing most ticket holders from attending. but freezing temperatures not stopping thousands from showing up. >> i actually have usb-heated socks. i have usb-heated thermals. >> seth: god, so ironic. when trump was leaving office, they walked right into the capitol. [ laughter ] now, he's back and they're [ bleep ] out of luck. but more importantly, they make usb-heated socks now? [ light laughter ] not that i'm ever going to get those. i can't even remember to bring my phone charger. there's no way i'm remembering the sock one. [ light laughter ]

and i'm not going to be the sucker walking around the party asking, "hey, does anyone have a sock charger i could borrow?" [ laughter ] what else can you do with usb socks? can you plug them into your laptop and then upload your feet to the cloud? [ laughter ] what do you mean you have usb-heated thermals? oh, wait. is that why rudy giuliani looked like that? [ laughter ] "yowzers. i turned it up way too high. there's smoke coming out of my underwear." [ laughter ] so, trump supporters who travelled long distances at great expense were left out in the freezing cold. what about all the vip seats indoors? who got those? >> the majority of those events were made off limits to public, but not off limits perhaps to the influential politicians and tech class billionaires. >> it's really remarkable to see these tech ceos or founders, in the case of jeff bezos, the founder of amazon, standing alongside members of the trump cabinet. >> they got better seats than some cabinet members. >> well, it's just remarkable. the ceo of google,

sundar pichai, who's there, as well as bezos, the founder of amazon and tim cook, the ceo of apple and elon musk from x. >> seth: that's right. maga supporters were left out in the cold, while trump gave toasty indoor vip seats to the wealthy tech oligarchs, which brings us to a segment called "do i really have to explain the metaphor here?" [ chimes ] [ laughter ] guys, do i really have to explain the metaphor here? look, i get it's my job to glean insights about the news through jokes, but sometimes it's just at too [ bleep ] obvious. i think you guys can handle this one yourselves. most of the next four years is going to be me showing clips and en going -- [ laughter ] trump supporters are outside freezing, while trump himself is inside cozying up to wealthy tech oligarchs. i'm just going to sit here for a second while you think about the metaphor. [ laughter ] [ bell dings ] oh! that sound means time is up. it also means my usb underwear is done cooking. [ laughter ] now my testicles are nice and toasty for the second half of "a closer look."

woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. >> this has been "do i really have to explain the metaphor?" >> seth: and it was even weirder to see democrats who correctly called trump an existential threat to democracy paling around with him. >> trump right now is at the blair house. he is getting ready to go over to st. john's church and then he'll be going and having coffee and tea at the white house with president biden before sharing a limo ride with him to the capitol. >> they're now president-elect donald trump along with president biden entering into the motorcade together. >> seth: man, next time you're in a [ bleep ] uber pool just remember -- [ laughter ] it could be so much worse. [ laughter ] you could be sharing a ride with these -- i mean, what do they even talk about? [ laughter ] of course, what i wish is that biden asked trump about his new meme coin that launched this week and reportedly has already made trump tens of billions of dollars. because here is how i think that conversation would go. "so, tell me about this meme

coin. how does something like that even work?" i have no [ bleep ] idea." [ laughter ] but i do wonder if at least one topic came up. biden issued a flurry of pardons today for people who have been targeted for revenge by trump and his advisers, and trump was not happy. >> i think this is going to be, in some ways, a bit of an awkward moment for these two, who obviously shared such tough words about one another. in effect, joe biden describing donald trump as an existential threat to the country. and only moments ago, the incoming president of the united states, donald trump texted by colleague kristen welker saying of the pardons, the pre-emptive pardons, that joe biden announced this morning, donald trump said they were disgraceful. so, he called the guy he's replacing disgraceful only ments ago. and now the two will be sharing a conversation, perhaps some tea and coffee as well. >> seth: all right. first of all, it's so funny just to imagine trump sitting down for tea with anyone. i would bet the man has never seen a cup of tea in his life. "excuse me, waiter. there's a wet bag of grass in my water." [ laughter ]

this is why the warm embrace of trump by democrats and especially joe biden has all been so preposterous. you're not going to get anything out of it. like, what was biden hoping for when he welcomed trump back to the white house this morning by saying this? >> welcome home. >> seth: joe biden is treating donald trump like an 18-year-old back from his first semester at college. [ laughter ] "hey, scout. welcome back. we got the bed all set up. don't mind the treadmill. we turned your room into an at home gym." [ laughter ] "i'm staying fit now that you kids are out of the house. your mom and i can finally get some alone time, if you know what i mean." [ laughter ] "don't make that face. where do you think you came from, champ?" there was also an awkward moment when kamala harris and j.d. vance made their way to their own limo and for some reason, vance thought he could get in on the same side as harris. >> great, thank you.

>> seth: j.d. i know you don't care for the woman, but please don't subject her to the indignity of a scooch. [ laughter ] it's a motorcade to a presidential inauguration, not a minivan on the way to soccer practice. [ laughter ] but eventually they all made their way to the capitol rotunda, and thank god so we could hear donald trump deliver his inaugural address, where he started with this bizarre promise. >> we will not forget our country, we will not forget our constitution, and we will not forget our god. >> seth: when did we ever forget god? [ laughter ] you know the last guy didn't. they went to high school together. [ laughter ] "oh, yeah, god, real prankster. took a guy's rib and made him a girlfriend out of it. no joke." [ laughter ] also, i hate to point this out, but according to multiple reports, as he was sworn in as the 47th president of the united states, trump did not place his hand on the bible. yo, you forget someone, bro? [ laughter ] and then trump got into the substance of his speech and on

setting low energy ominous fascism and weird [ bleep ] that no one except donald trump and his minions even care about. >> we will drill, baby, drill. by invoking the alien enemy's act of 1798, i will direct our government to use the full and immense power of federal and state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks. we will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it. we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. for this purpose, we are establishing the external revenue service. and we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching american astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet mars. a short time from now, we are

going to be changing the name of the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america. as of today, it will hence forth be the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders. and above all, china is operating the panama canal. and we didn't give it to china. we gave it to panama. and we're taking it back. >> seth: all right. [ laughter ] but if you do take it back, don't do anything dumb like renaming it the america canal because that [ bleep ] the palindrome. a man a plan a canal america is just a strangely worded sentence. in one speech, he managed to lay out a chilling vision of an authoritarian regime that will invoke an 18th century law to concduct mass deportations, accelerating climate change and criminalizing trans people while also claiming he'll change the name of the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america. which he cannot do. like -- [ light laughter ] everyone else in the world is still going to call it gulf of mexico. they have maps, too.

[ laughter ] you can't just declare that the mediterranean sea is now called lake trump. [ laughter ] no one in italy is going to say, "let's go to the beach. we'll take a dip in lake trump." it's not going to happen. [ light laughter ] also, i don't think they talk like that. [ laughter ] sal! [ laughter ] we supposed to reconcile these e two statements? >> we will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. my proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. that's what i want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier. china is operating the panama canal, and we didn't give it to china. we gave it to panama, and we're taking it back. >> seth: so, we're going to end all wars and also invade panama?

[ laughter ] i love that he campaigns saying he's going to take on major world powers like russia and china, and he then he wins, delays the tiktok ban to please china and threatens military action against tiny countries like denmark and panama. it's easy to make america win again when you're only scheduling cupcakes. this is like if alabama scheduled a game against the savannah college of art and design. [ laughter ] "we've got the pharaoh islands next week. should be a real barn burner." also. why does he keep saying this? >> we will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it. >> seth: you know your energy policy is behind the times when you're calling it liquid gold. are you a president or a 19th century prospector? [ laughter ] "there's liquid gold in them there hills." "all i gottata do now invent the automobile." [ laughter ] but of all the goofy [ bleep ] trump talked about in his speech, i have to make sure i touch on this. >> instead of taxing our

citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. for this purpose, we are establishing the external revenue service to collect all tariffs, duties, and revenues. >> seth: does donald trump genuinely think you can unilaterally impose a tax on a foreign country and the people of that country will just willingly pay that tax? that's not how it works. you can't just say, "hey, swedish, america is taxing your meatballs and pickled fish now." and sweedish people just go -- [ jibberish ] you know? [ laughter ] in this example, the person paying the tax is the swedish chef. look, we gotta get through the next four years somehow. [ laughter ] but i will admit, there was one thing that really resonated with me personally, and it was this. >> after years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, i will also sign an executive order to immediately

stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to america. never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents. [ laughter ] >> seth: because i'll admit, i was worried about this show for a hot second. but now, knowing that you're a man of your word, full steam ahead. [ laughter ] trump's inauguration was both ominous and weird, and the visuals more than the words made it clear what his priorities will be. he's going to put the interests of wealthy oligarchs before americans. instead of cozying up to that, democrats should be digging in to oppose it, because this isn't gonna be like trump's first term. it's going to be worse. trump's threats much like the village people are -- >> slightly larger than they used to be. >> seth: this has been "a closer look."

>> seth: it's been almost a year since the last time you were here. >> oh, my goodness. >> seth: what a special anniversary this is. >> wow! i know, it's almost my birthday. >> seth: is it really? >> i'm going to be 21 again. [ cheers a applause ] >> seth: ah, 21 again. >> i know. >> seth: i want you to be forever 21. that's important for me. >> yeah, me too. >> seth: this is such a funny premise for a show that is also a funny show. but i will give you the floor to explain the premise behind "laid." >> okay, so my best friend in the show, ruby, finds out that all of her exes are dying in the order that she slept with them. but not in like, a -- they're not all dying from like, the same disease. they're just dying in, like, very horrible, gruesome -- >> seth: yeah. >> -- tragic, hilarious ways. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] it's very dark and gruesome. >> yeah. >> seth: and also deeply funny. it's a tone that is very hard to pull off, and the show executes it so well. >> thank you so much. >> seth: yeah. >> yeah, we -- people would ask us to describe it, and we were like, i feel like -- it's sort of like you have to be there? you're like, "you kind of just gotta watch it." [ laughter ] 'cause it's really -- i don't know.

it's very specific. >> seth: it's very specific. >> yeah. >> seth: it is about sometimes like, the difficult relationship we have with our exes, and some we have good memories of, some bad. you're married now, but did you have bad experiences with exes? or bad exes? >> yeah, i had some pretty horrible exes. i feel like a lot of them arare maybe not, like, um, funny. >> seth: yeah. [ light laughter ] >> you know? just like, i -- before my husband, i had pretty terrible taste in men, full disclosure. [ light laughter ] just really -- >> seth: when you met your husband, did you realize, "i think my taste changed because i -- this is better than the past"? >> it was more like -- i don't know -- someone who quit smoking and all of a sudden i was like, "okay, this feels good." [ laughter ] maybe i should stop smoking, because i'm not, like, miserable and feel unwell all the time. so, i -- yeah, i dated some pretty big losers. [ laughter ] but there was one in particular that i'll really never forget. he -- i should have known because he never wore socks with his shoes.

>> seth: yeah. [ audience ohs ] >> and i feel like that should -- right? [ laughter ] like a pretty big red flag straight out the gate. but, if i had to cancel a dinner because i had an audition the next morning or like i had a really early call time, he always used to rag on me and tell me that i cared more about my career than i did about him and make me feel really guilty, which was a real -- [ booing ] right?! >> seth: yeah. >> but then the last fight we ever had was because i was like, i'm really sorry, i can't go to whatever we were supposed to go to that night because i got a big audition for the next day, and i was like, "it's a ton of lines. i've got to learn them. i have to be up really early." and he said, "i think your ambition is going to break my heart." [ laughter ] and i was like, "i'm breaking up with you." [ cheers and applause ] what a loser. >> what a loser.loser! >> seth: you're also sort of helping your wonderful costar stephanie.

you're basically helping her solve -- like, not murders but like, why these deaths are happening. >> yeah, yeah. >> seth: there's a sex timeline. >> yeah. >> seth: that's very fun. and this does sot of -- [ laughter ] -- slightly echo, like, "flight attendant" where you're also trying to help with a murder. and like, i don't know, from like -- you know, i feel like i was first exposed to you on "girls" and i was like, oh, my god, you'd make such a good friend. and now i feel like you'd make such a good friend if i was trying to solve a murder. >> yeah. [ laughter ] sure! yeah, i'm everyone's emotional fixer. >> seth: yeah. are you -- in life are you good at sort of puzzling things out? >> so, i'm really good at the ideas part. like, i'm the person if you're like, "okay, we have a problem and we need it to be solved," i'm like, "great, let's make a grocery list." let's figure out what we're getting. like, are we going to michaels? are we going to staples? what a we getting? i'm going to get all the things on that list. i'm going to set it up. i'm going to make it look real cute. and then i'm like, okay, i need someone else to tap in. [ laughter ] because when it comes to like, the actualal puzzle rt, my brain -- like, i was watching a movie on the airplane the other day.

and, um, the chick, like, the woman, the -- what do you call that? detective solves for x. she's like, "oh, this is what's happening." and i literally had to rewind it three times. [ laughter ] because i was like, okay, i get that we figured it out, but i don't -- just give it to me one more time. [ laughter ] because i really need to figure out. and then by the third time, i was like, oh! okay, yeah, yeah. now i'm with you and i can watch the rest of the movie. [ light laughter ] >> seth: you're also a bartender in the show. >> yes. >> seth: but not in real life? >> no. >> seth: okay. [ laughter ] did you -- could you -- because i would imagine that's sort of stressful because you have to act while you're doing a skill you don't have. >> this is correct. [ laughter ] so -- so -- also, that scene was our first scene ever of the entire show. it was our first day on set. it was our first day with this crew. it was a very early call time, and the show -- if you've seen it, it's very, very dialogue heavy, and they wanted it very, very fast pace. which like, i can talk fast but also, you know, when you wake up

at 4:00 in the morning and you have, like, eight pages to shoot that day, it's a lot. it's a lot for your brain to encompass. so we got on set, and i knew that my character was a bartender, but for some reason in my mind, i was like, yeah, [ laughter ]a bartender. which to me was like, i'm going to sit at the bar and i'm gonna like, just talk to you while you -- [ laughter ] i was like, "stephanie and i are going to sit there and she's going to drink things and i'm going to be like, 'oh, yeah, you want a beer? hey, johnny, can you get a beer?'" >> seth: now, have you been to a bar where there was someone with that job? [ laughter ] where you, like, run the order through somebody else that is like, "what do you want?" "hey, two gin and tonics, johnny." [ light laughter ] >> why are we suddenly like in -- [ laughter ] >> seth: i don't know. i just, like, somebody sitting in a bar -- >> yeah, yeah, johnny. >> seth: yeah, we can get you -- >> yeah, yeah, johnny. apparently, i don't know, apparently johnny has this job at this bar we're talking about. so we get there, it's, like, 6:00 in the morning, we're blocking this scene. and nahnatchka, our show runner and creator is like, "okay, so,

zosia, i figured that you'd like, be behind the bar and this guy is going to come and he's going to order a gin and tonic and you're going to turn around, you're going to make it and then you're going to give him cha --" and i was like, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. [ laughter ] woah. sorry, what? [ laughter ] and she was like, "well, you know, you're going to -- you're going to bar tend." and i was like, "yeah. mm-hmm. totally. i'm going to bartend." and stephanie looked at me and she goes, "are you okay?" and i immediately broke out into rash on my neck. [ laughter ] so bad that we had to ll the medic. [ laughter ] he was like, "what's going on?" i was like, "i don't know. i'm supposed to bartend." [ laughter ] anyways, we really -- we muddled our way through it. but i told my husband that night, i was like -- i told him what happened. and he came up bartending and working in the service industry in restaurants. and he was like, "oh, the subreddits are going to be lit about what a bad bartender you are." [ laughter ] he was like, "babe, you cannot pass for a bartender. i've seen you try to make a margarita."

i was like, "oh, no!" and the very last thing that happened was. part of it, she was like, "you're going to have to at the end of this make change." and i was like, "nahnatchka, i literally failed high school because i could not pass algebra one." [ laughter ] and now you want me to make -- she was like, "we'll leave it for you here." and i was like, "i really -- i think i quit." [ laughter ] >> seth: you're like, everybody -- you have to rewrite the scene. everyone plays with venmo. >> everyone pays in venmo, here's my qr code. >> seth: i do feel as though maybe later they simplified what they were asking you to do. we found this still. >> oh, my god. [ laughter ] okay. so, my one saving grace that day -- so, i was basically making, like, water/water cocktails. it was like a vodka tonic, but it was just like, you know, water and then i would put seltzer in it and a lime. and it was like, okay, but can i get someme umbrell because i felt like such a loser that i was just so terrible at this fake job. so, i asked for little tiny umbrellas. and i put them in my water/water cocktails. and at the end of the day, i turned to stephanie, and i was

like, "at least my umbrella work is great." [ laughter ] >> seth: there's a lot more you're great at. and the show is just wonderful. it is so unique and cool. and it's so great to see you. thanks for being here, zosia. >> thanks for having me.
