[ howling ] >> you know that's so funny, that story about nicole kidman because, i was at a golden corral once, and i saw a chick that looked like nicole kidman. >> jimmy: is that right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: oh my god, did you talk -- >> i didn't have the nerve to talk to her, though. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: hey, this is a a beautiful shirt. >> thank you very much. >> jimmy: thank you so much for coming back to the show. i do love -- >> well wait. before we go on, i just wanted to give you the opportunity, to

i brought you one. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: yeah, right. of course. >> now wait, i'll let you pick. you can either wear this, or you can wear this sweater that has a dinosaur on it. >> jimmy: i think -- [ cheers and applause ] >> you want to let the audience pick? >> jimmy: sure. i think we're going with the shirt, right? >> shirt? [ cheers ] all right. here we go. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it's pretty nice. thanks, man, i appreciate it. i like it. [ barking ] [ cheers and applause ] kind of a scoop neck to it. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: i love the scoop neck. >> yeah. >> jimmy: thanks, man. i appreciate that. >> a low ride. >> jimmy: yeah, it's like a low ride on the collar. that's good. subtle. it's almost like i'm not even wearing anything, you know. >> that's how we like it. >> jimmy: that's how we love it. it's good to see you, buddy. i do like -- that's a beautiful shirt.

to a party. and it kind of made a splash, so i'm trying to kind of kick my career up a notch, so i figure -- this is all right, this is what i got to do to get attention. >> jimmy: that's not true at all. that's not true. but "nocturnal animals," man oh man, you got -- you're getting rave reviews for this, knocked it out of the park with this one. >> thank you. >> jimmy: that's fantastic. congratulations. everyone's buzzing and talking about it. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you were -- i want to we were talking about last time you were on the show about how you're kind of like -- you don't really do facebook and twitter and you don't a, you don't have a smart phone. you had, like, a flip phone last time you were here. >> oh, damn. >> jimmy: what? >> i didn't bring it. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: what, do you still have the flip phone? >> no, i don't have a flip phone. now i have one of those slidey kind of phones. >> jimmy: yes, wait, like a a t-mobile sidekick? >> it says kyocera on it. but yeah, it's like that. >> jimmy: kyocera? is it a car?

[ light laughter ] it's a -- it's very frustrating because it's always, even though it has a lock on it, it's always dialing people if i put it in my pocket anywhere, and then people are always saying you butt dialed me and i'm like, well, no, it wasn't my butt. it was my -- it was my chest or whatever this part of my body is. but i don't put my phone in my back pocket. >> jimmy: you didn't try an iphone at all? you won't? >> oh well, i had one, i was in toronto recently and they gave me one to use, which was nice 'cause i could facetime with my kids. you don't have to pay for them. you can read like the first 20 pages of a lot of different books. [ laughter ] so, i'd be sitting in the restaurant there by myself, missing, you know, home, and so i'd go on the ibooks and get like, you know, "the sun also rises" sample.

>> jimmy: if you do that, they recommend other books to you. >> oh they would, yeah, they would recommend like hot novels, the sexy -- you know. but i'd just read the first 20 pages. i didn't have to feel guilty, because it was just the first 20 pages. >> jimmy: i remember when i was in high school, we had ms. gallagher and she gave us the option to either read "white fang" or this book by danielle steel. >> oh what? >> jimmy: and i don't know why, but that was the choices. >> in school? >> jimmy: yeah, in school. yeah. >> wow. >> jimmy: i hope it was school. yeah, i think that's where it was. it was -- looked like school. >> it looked like a school, yeah. >> jimmy: i don't remember, you know. but i remember i was, like -- i'll choose the danielle steel, i'd never heard of danielle steel. so i read it. it's fantastic book. >> oh, yeah? [ light laughter ] so how many have you read now? >> jimmy: well, i don't know if i read any more after that, but this one was there, she got in car, terrible car accident, this girl. and so she had her face, was removed. so they had a face reconstructed, okay? but he also, was in the accident, and he got amnesia,

at all. not like it would help, she has a new face. [ laughter ] but they still fell in love. [ audience aws ] >> that just shows that is, deep down underneath, it's like a spiritual connection. >> jimmy: yeah, it's a a spiritual, yeah. we've actually did a little research and found you "the promise", danielle steel. >> oh, is this the book? >> jimmy: that's the book, and we ripped out all the pages. all you have is 20 pages. [ laughter and applause ] >> oh, thank you. i just, yeah. that's really all i'm interested in. >> jimmy: we researched -- that's the book i read in high school. you'll enjoy the first ag >> the promise, man. >> jimmy: buddy, tell me about "nocturnal animals." what can we expect from you in, in this film? >> well it's funny, we're talking about reading, cause' it's a movie about a woman who reads a book. >> jimmy: that is true. >> this woman is an art dealer in l.a. played by amy adams and her -- [ cheers and applause ] yeah. jimmy: she's fantastic as well. >> she's phenomenal. >> jimmy: everybody's great. >> and her ex-fiance, played by jake gyllenhaal, who's a a struggling writer. [ cheers and applause ]

parted company, he sends her his book in the mail and says, i've finally finished my book. i want you to read it. and that is kind of the premise of the movie. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and i play a character in the book. >> jimmy: i think you're a a fantastic actor. in fact, i want to show everyone how great you are -- >> thank you. >> jimmy: "nocturnal animals," michael shannon, check this out. [ cheers and applause ] b >> you questioning me? >> yeah, that's what we're doing, ain't it? >> you ain't read me my rights. >> you know you're rights, ray. >> aren't you supposed to read them to me? >> i read you your rights, didn't i, tony? mm-hmm. i read you your rights. >> jimmy: that's how you do it right there. [ cheers and applause ] michael shannon, everybody! see "nocturnal animals" in select theaters tomorrow, november 18th, music from miranda lambert when we return. come on back, everybody!

[ cheers and applause ] and the roots right there from philadelphia, pennsylvania, ladies and gentlemen! stay tuned for "late night with seth meyers." thank you for watching. have a great night. i hope to see you tomorrow. bye-bye, everybody. [ cheers and applause ]

[ cheers and applause ] ?? >> announcer: from 30 rockefeller plaza in new york, it's "late night with seth meyers." tonight -- casey affleck.

rebecca romijn. from "snl," comedian michael che. featuring the 8g band with atom willard. ?? [ cheers and applause ] ladies and gentlemen, seth meyers. [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: good evening. i'm seth meyers. this is "late night." how's everybody doing tonight? [ cheers and applause ] good to hear. very good to hear. in that case let's get to the news. hillary clinton made her first appearance since the election last night and told thow past week when all i wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again." oh, sure, now you're relatable. [ laughter ] a&e has announced that they're canceling the controversial show "duck dynasty." on the bright side, we're getting at least four whole seasons of "dick dynasty." [ laughter ]

vice president-elect mike pence was seen today was seen using a selfie stick while posing with a group of house republicans. of course, right after using the selfie stick pence had to go to confession. [ laughter and applause ] the "harry potter" spinoff "fantastic beasts and where to find them" came out today. spoiler alert. they're in a gold tower. [ laughter and applause ] according toew donald trump's transition team still has not contacted the pentagon. apparently, they can't find that shape on the phone. [ laughter ] "i'm having no luck here. i've called triangle like 50 times. [ laughter ] they keep putting me through to square. square said he was circle." [ laughter ] nissan is now offering a limited

wars: rogue one" featuring a collectible helmet, because nothing says great car like a complimentary helmet. [ laughter ] a team of researchers has developed a new form of construction glass that will keep birds from flying into closed windows, and i have to say it's pretty innovative. [ laughter ] as i mentioned, the house republican twitter account posted a selfie of vice president-elect mike pence with a room full of gop congressmen today with the caption wow. wow. that means it's time for eight jokes about mike pence's selfie. [ laughter ] here we go! [ cheers and applause ] let's get started. here's how white that photo is. they took it in a dark room without a flash. [ laughter ] the caption on the photo is "unified," but i think a better caption would be "spf 100." [ laughter ]

this is a video. [ laughter ] they put that picture on instagram and it got 20,000 yikes. [ laughter ] halfway there, guys. [ light laughter ] that picture is so white, it got picked up for two seasons on amazon prime. [ laughter ] look at this. it looks like the black friday line outside williams-sonoma. [ laughter ] that's the most white people in one photo since the duggar family christmas card. [ laughter ] ladies and gentlemen, the cast and crew of "frasier." [ laughter ] and finally, that was eight jokes about that photo. yeah, give it up. [ cheers and applause ] give it up. give it up for six of them. and finally, c-span has begun life-streaming footage of the elevators at trump tower. let's take a look. ?? >> seth: we've got a great show for you tonight, everybody!

"manchester by the sea." it truly is an incredible film. he's one of our favorites here. casey affleck is back on the show, you guys. [ cheers and applause ] she's one of the stars of tnt's "the librarians," rebecca romijn is joining us, everyone. [ cheers and applause ] and you know him from "snl." he's also got a new stand-up special on netflix. one of my favorites, guys. michael che is joining us tonight to talk about his special "michael che matters." before we get to all that, presidential transitions are history remembers the presidency far more than the transition. but we're starting to get signals from trump takeover about how he'll govern. for more on this it's time for "a closer look." ?? [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: now, no one expects any actual cabinet picks this early in the process, but reports about the inner workings of the transition have not been great. >> trump transition in turmoil. the president-elect's team plagued by infighting. >> some are describing it as

>> disarray, turmoil, infighting. this is not going smoothly. >> one trump adviser says it's like "game of thrones." >> seth: that's right. it's like "game of thrones." in other words, we are now way past the part that the original author had in mind. [ laughter and applause ] one of the most -- one of the first and most important responsibilities of a president-elect is to communicate with foreign heads of state, especially allies. but even just receiving incoming calls seems to be a difficult task for the trump team right now. as "the new york times" reported, foreign leaders didn't know how to get in touch with trump and american allies were blindly dialing into trump tower to try to reach the soon to be leader of the free world. and knowing trump, he's probably charging them for the phone calls. >> are you looking to talk to the leader of the free world? [ laughter ] because he's dying to talk to you. [ laughter ] only $2.99 for the first minute and $1.99 each minute after that.

[ laughter ] >> seth: in fact, true story. true story. the prime minister of australia, a close u.s. ally, was only able to get in touch with trump after the australian ambassador to the united states got trump's personal phone number from australian golfer and trump friend, greg norman. so u.s. diplomacy is currently being conducted through professional golfers. [ light laughter ] is this what you had in mind, disenfranchised working-class voters? [ laughter ] also, greg norman's nickname is the shark. so in order for the prime minister of australia to talk to our next president, he had to say, "this sounds like a job for the shark." [ laughter ] now, trump has said he'll schedule meetings with foreign leaders soon, specifically theresa may, the prime minister of britain. arguably america's most important ally. but even those encounters might be awkward. british politician nigel farraj seen here with trump in what appears to be scrooge mcduck's panic room? [ light laughter ] joked on british radio recently that he might have to act as a

>> i've got to say, come and schmooze, theresa. don't touch her, for goodness sake. [ laughing ] >> if he does, only in an affectionate way. >> well, if it comes to it, i could be there as a responsible adult, couldn't i? make sure everything's okay. >> seth: ha, ha, ha, ha. worry not, however. as i shall be on hand to prevent say, london underground. ha, ha, ha, ha. assault. [ laughter ] you can see the entire donald trump-theresa may meeting re-enacted in the critically acclaimed series "downton grabby." [ laughter ] now, trump has apparently already spoken with may and according to a leaked transcript reported by the "guardian" newspaper, trump told her, quote, "if you travel to the u.s. you should let me know." you think she's just going to pop over? [ light laughter ]

[ laughter ] uh. [ laughter ] hello, governor! so what's trump doing instead of overseeing a smooth transition? well, there's this odd story from a reporter covering trump. the reporter said he saw a professional skateboarder, billy rowan, in the lobby of trump's building on wednesday. rowan said he met with trump earlier today and came away impressed. rowan claimed he told trump to spread peace by building skate parks around the world. he said trump was receptive to the idea. trump met with a skateboarder? son barron freaky friday when we weren't looking? [ laughter ] but the source of most of the turmoil inside the trump team seems to be infighting over positions and appointments and a slew of firings of people who were supposed to be running the transition team. new jersey governor chris christie was supposed to have been in charge, but he was pushed aside after the election by trump son-in-law jared kushner. which might have something to do with the fact that christie sent kushner's father to jail. >> jared kushner, donald trump's son-in-law, is said by sources

wrong way with a hand in purging the transition team of people connected to new jersey governor chris christie. back in 2004 christie, then a u.s. attorney in new jersey, prosecuted kushner's father charles, a billionaire real estate development. charles kushner was accused of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and other violations. it became a shakespearean drama with charles kushner's own relatives including a sister turning against him. in a sordid revenge plot, charles kushner hired a prostitute to lure his sister's husband into having sex in a motel room. the encounter was taped and charles kushner sent the tape to his sister. it didn't work. >> seth: seems like a chill guy. [ laughter ] also, christie's been angling for a job this whole time knowing he put trump's son-in-law's father in jail. what did he think was going to happen? i'll just kiss trump's ass and throw away all my remaining dignity, but it will all be worth it if his son-in-law forgets that incredibly traumatic time when i put his dad in jail.

chris christie's got a new best plan ever. [ laughter ] in fact nbc news reported the trump transition team was undergoing a quote, "stalinesque purge from the transition of people close to christie." you can just imagine trump's response to being called stalinesque. "it's true. i am kind of like a stallion." [ laughter ] "beautiful golden mane." [ laughter ] and that actually underscores a potentially troubling precedent that seems to be taking shape in the trump transition. trump needs to fill thousands of and he needs competent, experienced people around him. but instead, he seems to be firing or rejecting people based purely on loyalty. for example, a few days ago, a veteran g.o.p. national security expert named elliott cohen recommended to other anti-trump republicans that they serve in the trump administration for the good of the country. but after talking to the trump transition team, cohen changed his mind saying, quote, "they're angry, arrogant, screaming, you lost. we'll be ugly. it became clear to me that they view jobs as lollipops, things

lollipops. i'm telling you. we got [ bleep ] freaky fridayed. [ laughter ] "no lollipop for you and you have to eat my broccoli." [ light laughter ] the turmoil has apparently scared a lot of qualified national security officials away from serving in the trump administration. as one national security official put it, quote, "normally you'd be attracting the best and brightest at the beginning of an administration, but people are nervous. is this a sure bet or is it a house of cards that's going to fall apart?" but come on, when has trump ever built a house of cards that fell apart? oh, right. his casinos, which were literal houses of cards. [ laughter ] the information we do have so far includes some worrisome names. for example, there's one of trump's reported candidates for national security adviser, retired lieutenant general michael flynn, who was forced out of the obama administration and stirred controversy in ryfebrua when he tweeted, quote, "fear of muslims is rational." when you write the word "rational" in all caps, it disproves itself. [ light laughter ] it's like when you scream in a

[ light laughter ] in fact, several of the names being floated for trump's cabinet sent disturbing signals about his positions on civil liberties. for example, one of the names floated for secretary of defense is arkansas senator tom cotton. cotton has said he agrees with trump's proposal to bring back torture techniques like waterboarding, which are currently illegal under both u.s. and international law. >> do you agree with him that torture works and waterboarding and much worse would be a good idea? >> waterboarding isn't torture. we do waterboarding to our own soldien >> that's in training. but the u.s. doesn't do it anymore. they've stopped. >> but we've done it in the past -- >> you think the u.s. should do it again? >> and radio djs volunteer for it. >> seth: radio djs? [ light laughter ] you're basing u.s. national security on what radio djs are okay with? and if waterboarding doesn't work we're going to hit isis with some prank calls! [ laughter ] trump has shown a consistent disregard for basic constitutional principles like due process, and he inherits

why we need to be more vigilant now than ever. and the aclu has taken up that call, issuing a stern warning to trump after the election, quote, "should president-elect donald trump attempt to implement his unconstitutional campaign promises, we'll see him in court." well, joke's on you, aclu. he gets sued so much he's always in court. [ light laughter ] trump is to courtrooms what norm was to "cheers." "don!" this has been "a closer look." ?? [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: we'll be right back with casey affleck, everybody!

?? [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: welcome back, everybody. please give it up for the 8g band right over there. [ cheers and applause ] he's been with us all week on drums. and his band's latest album "shape shift with " rock classic already. from against me!, atom willard, everybody. thank you so much. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> seth: it's been a fantastic week. our first guest is an oscar-nominated actor who has starred in films like "gone baby gone" and "interstellar." his new movie "manchester by the sea" will be in theaters tomorrow. let's take a look. [ laughter ] >> hey. you want to keep it down, you [ bleep ] morons? my kids are sleeping. >> i am so sorry. i mean i didn't think it was

house, please? >> yeah, i do. i mean i really do. >> she can't talk to us that way. >> yeah! [ laughter ] >> oh! >> come on back -- >> i'm not [ bleep ] around. >> seth: please welcome back to the show casey affleck, everybody! [ cheers and applause ] ?? >> seth: how are you? >> great. >> seth: it's really good to see you again. >> thanks, i just want to clear something up. you're not a donald trump supporter, then? >> seth: it's on the -- i'm trying to be very coy about it. i try to keep my audience guessing. [ laughter ] >> i get it. >> seth: this movie -- i was telling you backstage, this is a beautiful movie. it's fantastic. as we can tell from the clip,

>> yeah. >> seth: and you know it takes place in massachusetts because you've got to like bleep three f words in any -- anytime the movie takes place i feel like -- but is it true you that originally did not want to do a massachusetts accent in this? you didn't want to have the boston accent? >> yeah, for a minute i thought maybe i wouldn't do a massachusetts accent, a boston accent because, you know, they're hard -- sometimes they're hard to get right. it was a big cast. i'd done it before in movies, and i thought like how about we not do it? and then that was shot down. but you, you're from-- >> seth: yeah, southern new hampshire. that's close enough. >> new ham, [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah, i think that's -- >> it's like the grumpy cousin of massachusetts. >> seth: yeah. nobody counts -- it's such a bummer. when i used to go to red sox games and people would say, "oh, that's cool, you grew up here?" and i'd say, "well -- new hampshire." and it's like people in boston would be like, "no." [ laughter ] >> they'd be like, "no." except when they want to buy beer on sundays. it's like, "boom, new hampshire, we gotta get there," yeah. >> seth: exactly, then we're everybody's best friend. come on down to new hampshire. >> that's a law not many people know about. >> seth: but, yeah -- >> you can't buy beer on sunday in massachusetts. >> seth: so it's real classy. us people in new hampshire, we put our liquor stores right on the border. [ laughter ]

to come and buy your liquor from us. >> nah, i've seen you there -- >> seth: yeah, exactly. [ laughter ] i work a shift, one -- one shift a year just to stay close to my roots. [ laughter ] and then but i see what you mean because you obviously are from the area. a boston accent must not be intimidating for you. right? well, i mean you can do it -- but then i see what you mean about the rest of the cast then. you've got to worry about them. >> yeah, i was worried about them. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] because if there's one person who doesn't have it it's a problem. >> yeah, sort of and it's inconsistent. and also, i don't know why. i just felt like, not everyone also people don't have them. >> seth: right. >> not everybody in massachusetts has that strong of an accent. like they're people like me grew up there and don't really have a boston accent. so i thought maybe we'll just do this movie without them. >> seth: yeah, i'm glad you did. >> thanks. [ laughter ] >> seth: were people in manchester, massachusetts excited you were there? is that a place -- >> they love it. you know, sometimes you go to massachusetts, these are my people so, i can say this. but they'll start out being very supportive. they're like, "we love you, thank you for coming. you're the best." and then like day two of shooting they're leaning out the

[ laughter ] go back to hollywood, you [ bleep ]." [ laughter ] but -- >> seth: yeah, that's about right. >> yeah. >> seth: which is interesting because that's my -- because when i go home for thanksgiving, i feel like it's the same thing. first day, everybody's super psyched. >> right. and then your family is like -- >> seth: and then by day two -- >> get the -- seth get the [ bleep ] out of here! [ laughter ] >> seth: that's about right. >> yeah. >> seth: this movie is already getting a lot of attention. i don't know if you've heard, there's oscar buzz. have you heard this? >> come on, no, tell me -- >> seth: it's a low -- right now it's a low buzz but i feel like -- >> you think it's low? >> seth: no, i just think you can hear it coming. >> but, compared to other people it's? >> seth: it's very high. >> that's high. >> seth: yeah, when you compare it to other films, it's doing a lot better than them, buzz wise. >> yeah, yeah. >> seth: but you don't strike me as a person who is particularly happy to get attention for you work one way or the other. >> i love it. >> seth: you do? okay because i completely misread it. [ laughter ] i completely misread it. >> i'd like to talk about it a little bit more, how much time do we got? [ laughter ] what is that buzz? what have you heard?

were talking about the oscars, you weren't nominated last year, i'm so sorry. >> wasn't i? >> seth: i don't think you were last year. >> no, that's right. >> seth: but you even told me you had plans on oscar night, you weren't going to watch the oscars. is that true? did you not watch the oscars last year? >> i can't remember. >> seth: i don't even remember myself. i don't know why i'm asking you. >> yeah. >> seth: like being a dickhead and being like, "did you?" and i don't have any memory of it. >> yeah, right, i'm sure i did, i like, you know, i like you, it's fun. >> seth: yeah! >> i mean, there's great actors out there. >> seth: yeah, it's the more you see them -- >> and you get to see them talk about stuff -- you're very cynical about it all, i know. >> seth. buzz. >> i have an appreciation for people who do really spent their life to the arts and you just want to put them down. >> seth: yeah, i do. >> which is weird. [ laughter ] >> seth: i, well -- let me explain, though. i feel less than them and only in putting them down do i feel that i can even the score. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: this, though of all your accomplishments this year, i want to know if this story's true. i heard you that helped deliver a baby on a train. >> well, that's semi-true. >> seth: okay, even semi-true's pretty impressive. >> right. >> seth: so how did -- what

first of all. >> seth: you're welcome. [ laughter ] you're getting a lot of buzz in the obgyn community. [ laughter ] >> i'm a hero. but it boils down to -- i don't know, it's a long story can i suffice to say i'm a hero. >> seth: right. >> an american hero. [ laughter ] i saved someone else's life once. i didn't save this woman's life. but i did save someone's life. they were falling off a building and i saved their life. >> seth: wow! >> i talked about it on another talk show. what i like to do, is when i do a good deed, i go out in front -- get the biggest audience i can and talk about it. [ laughter ] >> seth: do you ever -- has this ever happened, where you know show appearance coming up and you haven't saved a life recently -- >> i drive around. i'm like some [ bleep ] better happen. [ laughter ] what if some people need some -- yeah. that was kind of true. i didn't deliver the baby on the train, although i did tell her -- i kind of lied to her. i said, "i've delivered two babies, don't worry, i got this." >> seth: okay. >> now, i had never delivered two babies. [ laughter ] but i have had -- i have two sons. >> seth: you had them delivered.

>> seth: it's like me saying, "i make dominos." [ laughter ] >> yeah, exactly. it was comforting to her, though. >> seth: yeah. >> so that's what matters in that moment. >> seth: where were you on the train? >> i was taking the train from l.a. up to -- i was going to canada, but the train, amtrak, stops at the border for some reason. >> seth: yeah. >> so i was getting off at seattle. it was an overnight train. and i was -- i was in the middle of the night, i woke up and i heard this -- someone screaming outside. >> seth: wow. >> it was in a little tiny like a cell you sleep, but door's closed. everything's metal. it's like jail. [ laughter ] and there was a woman like bracing herself in the hall, very pregnant, crying and screaming. and i said, "what's the matter?" [ laughter ] and, i should have figured it out. right then she knew she wasn't in good hands. [ laughter ] >> seth: right, exactly. i bet when you said, "i've delivered two kids," she thought back to that sentence, "no, you didn't." >> she had to explain it to me, which was not good. she said, "i'm going into labor and i'm all alone." and i said, "i'm going to find someone and get you back to your

i started knocking on doors and no one would answer their door. one person pulled the curtain, looked at me and then closed the curtain again -- amtrak's great. i take it everywhere. i really love taking the train, but it's also -- overnight can be a little sketchy. >> seth: it is sketchy. >> they thought like why is this dude banging on my door? i didn't look like this totally. but almost. and so no one opened up. so i went back to her room and i sat with her and the contractions are getting closer and closer together. and i was fearing that it was going to come and i said, "have you ever had a baby before?" she said, id there was other things so i had to have a c-section. and i thought, oh, man, we're in trouble here. [ laughter ] >> seth: right. >> and on every train car there's also supposed to be someone who works there and that woman was not coming out of her room, either, probably also afraid of me. and so finally, i went upstairs and i realized that this was urgent and something had to be done. and i -- so i did the old movie like you see the emergency switch. >> seth: oh, wow. >> and i grabbed it and i pulled

>> seth: sure, yeah. you knew right where it was. >> that's what it was all about. are you pregnant? let me just -- boom. [ laughter ] and it didn't stop the train, but it made the loudest noise i've ever heard in my life. >> seth: oh wow. >> and it was like this small metal hallway. like -- anyway, so finally that got the people up. people started opening their doors. i sent someone to get conductor of the train. he came back. i said we've got to stop the train. he said, "there's no stop for another three hours." in the middle of a national park on the border of california and oregon. anyway." so he looked on our phones, a little gps on the phone, and he called ahead and an ambulance -- there was a little road that went through the national park and they stopped the train there, we got her off. >> seth: wow. >> got her, boom, done. and then i said -- i kind of thought -- it was a big moment for me. >> seth: sure. >> i'm felt very bonded to this woman. i'm leaving out that like i sat with her for a long time. she was in labor, her water broke right there, i was sitting with her, and she'd given me her i.d. because she thought she might die or something, she wanted to know who she was -- it was like very intense.

baby after me. >> seth: right. [ laughter ] >> and when i called the hospital -- i knew what hospital she was going to because i asked the paramedics. and the next day i called the hospital and they put me through to her room and she didn't remember me. [ laughter ] so it was a bigger moment for me than it was for her. but i still feel like i did some good. >> seth: i think you did excellent.

[ laughter ] >> seth: okay, got you. >> umm -- it's just -- it's layered. >> seth: well, that was when new york was its nicest, the '70s. so you want to keep it close to that as possible. [ laughter ] >> it's original. >> seth: yeah. >> umm -- you know, his parents are very sort of new york bohemian artist background. >> seth: got ya. >> so there's like great art on the walls. mixed with every single project jerry has ever been involved

>> movie posters. >> seth: oh, wow. >> like, you know, great art right next to a "kangaroo jack" poster. >> seth: got you. >> any -- any clipping from any -- anything has been framed on every surface. it's -- it's like a museum. >> seth: and now is that something that would be true of your childhood at home? did your parents have the same -- >> my parents are also -- i'm from berkeley, california. also sort of a bohemian background. >> seth: got you. >> they're not quite as -- they've edited along the way. >> seth: okay. yeah, yeah. that's good. well, then it must be nice for you to be -- >> i do like it. you know, you never see anything in manhattan like that. it's just -- >> seth: well it's funny 'cause -- now that we have a kid i realize we'll never have another piece of anything of mine in the house ever again. like, it's immediately about that child's accomplishments. >> yes. >> seth: and his accomplishments are like nothing yet. he's only eight months old. >> yes. congratulations, by the way. >> seth: thank you. but i'm losing a lot of the focus from my wife. that's what i'm saying. >> sure. that's -- that's got to be hard too. >> seth: i host a talk show and i come home and i have to talk about how he ate a carrot for like 45 minutes. >> no i get it. yeah. >> seth: you've been there.

>> seth: yeah, there you go. >> and wait till he starts drawing all over everything. our kids, who also have an artistic streak, thought that everything in our house to be decorated. like all the antiques -- >> seth: true artists. >> all the furniture, the walls. all the outlets were too plain. everything needed to be colored in. and i hated it at first and now it's like, you know, they're going to be eight-years-old and now i look at it, it's perfect. [ laughter ] you know what, they were right. all this stuff did need to be colored in. [ laughter ] >> seth: so, your show "the librarians," as we can see from special effects in this show. >> a lot of special effects. >> seth: is this one of those shows where as an actor you're often have no sense of what you're supposed to be looking at? >> we have no idea. we need them to describe absolutely everything to us. we watch the finished result along with everybody else just to surprise -- we have to be told exactly what it is we're looking at. like is it a spark or an explosion? how far does it go? where is it traveling? where are we looking? it's all in our imagination. >> seth: have you ever accidentally given spark reaction to an explosion?

>> seth: and then people think your character is ice cold. [ laughter ] another role that you're famous for is mystique in x-men, and that is -- that was obviously special effects as well but a lot of basic like human being painted. right? >> that was basically a human being painted. >> seth: this was not a cgi gig. >> that was not cgi. that was all done. that took nine hours every day. >> seth: nine hours? >> they would bring me in at midnight for a 9:00 a.m. call time. >> seth: oh my goodness. >> and then nothing was a secret ev. i left a lot of blue paint behind me everywhere i went. >> seth: yeah. this would not be a good way to be a cat burglar. >> terrible. >> seth: yeah. >> like blue toilet seats. >> seth: yeah, well, what can you do? >> people were like oh, mystique was in here. [ laughter ] >> seth: and have you -- 'cause you know there's that cosplay thing where people go to places like comic-con and they dress like -- >> yeah. >> seth: have you ever seen one -- 'cause it would seem to me this would be the impossible one to pull off in public. >> you know, it's a terrible halloween costume for little girls. >> seth: yep. >> i don't recommend it. >> seth: no. i think you would be able to -- >> completely -- completely
