the folks welcome to dennis miller plus one. this should be fun, as i studied on the nic mohammad left up for is lee is a british actor, comedian writer. i think i read recently that the james cordon is missing the white cliffs of dover. and my go home. i think if they want to continue with somebody from that side of the pond with a great sense of humor, a very nice accent, they might, they might consider our friend to take his place is best known for his role as nathan shelley and probably the hottest show and television right now. apple tv pluses ted last with jason's today and she also appeared in film such as the martian bridget jones baby nixon nominated also for standing supporting actor and a comedy series for his performance. and last season to is now streaming on apple tv, plus please welcome nick mohammed. thank you for that intro. very kind and yeah,

if james couldn't, you know, wants to hang up his base. yeah, i'm on wall, i'm all is. yeah. i wasn't making a quality judgment on james. i just remember it's such a lovely speaking voice and i know, i think that's part of james laura is late at night. and i thought, boy, i would look into this guy because that thing you did on that chat show in england . and i don't know who that cat is, but it's funny off times chat show hosts have to get into some sort of robotic trance where they laugh and just be congenial because they've got to move it along and who need somebody who's being a 1st budget. they were laughing so hard that you seemed stupefied that you would reduce them to that level and it was, it was a clip of you doing. the great can see you have of encapsulation of sound tracks. tell me when you had that or yes, you have stand up comedy in your past. tell me. yeah,

yeah. so i've always done. we're not always done, but since, you know, before i can act. so i sort of comedy and still do comedy. i always in character rather than sort of stand up and yet is it character identical? mr. swallow and yeah, i think the big you're referring to is him singing along to the direct park theme. tune words that he's written which effectively for summarize, the plot of drastic clark and so on. yeah, it seems to do the rounds on youtube and facebook and the like. and yeah, it follows me around is the thing that people, i rang the most the i ever get recognized. so anything in the street and you're directly, i'm like, well, you know, that's, that's john williams, the great american school competitor. and i've bastardize his, his theme and put words to it, but yeah, well, i love the little moves bush, you gave them of the jobs saying folks to put this, it might sound like comedy obscure. i hear what we're talking about. but like, for instance, the jaws as like my leg erna, it's

a clever how he encapsulates the plot, as he said, and uses the soundtrack too. and go watch the jurassic park, one, it is a standing, and i was wondering, i'm such a huge soundtrack fan. did it come from places you love some drugs? oh he, he honestly, i'll be obsessed. i've got a like a big collection now, like cds and i just since the kids dress and part was one of the 1st, you know, when i was 10, when the phone came out, i think and that was one of the 1st contracts that i got huge from william span, huge james horner. but yeah, i still listen to the great cd label called in trotter. and that's starting to release a lot of the kind of soundtracks that were made in the eighty's and that sort of digitally remastered remastering a load of days and i'm a huge, huge fan. yeah, go back one click and get a book that i just finished by 85 goal. it might be eddie,

it might be. it's spelled r u d i fi. go about yon berry who is. yeah, you might not know him as well, but when you put out of africa together with you know, going back to goldfinger, he wrote, he took money norman's song and made it to gold. the james bond theme, it was just a great book about quite possibly the greatest soundtrack writer ever. and you might enjoy it anyway. talking outside of shop. listen, this last so i you know what, i don't know, soccer. i don't know what put you off a show at the beginning, not, not put you up, but doesn't hook you. everybody has a set of things. when i heard it was about soccer. in the interim, i have talked to people who tell me what an uplifting show i like the i am going to binge it this weekend because i understand it's very positive. i like jason. i've met jason over the years. i think he's a charmer. i just sort of thought, i don't know anything about soccer. i'm lucky,

so much suck. i hear. that's the last component that is inter go to the spirit of it. i hear it's very sweet, uplifting show. correct. yeah, that's correct. i think i, you know, it is superficially about about soccer football and you know, the premises that jason plays a coach that an american football coach. he comes back to the coach, a premier league football team in the u. k. but yeah, that's, that's not not incidental because you know, it's a big part of the show, but you don't have to be found to enjoy the show. i think there is a lot of them problem city and so many fun than very parents have been the show that kind of inhabit this world and surround pads that yeah, that make it really uplifting. and hopefully can resonate with anyone who you know, whether you're a sports fan or not. i mean, not, you know, i'm personally not a huge football fan or so compound or anything. and that, you know, i, you know, i'm by, because i'm in the show by, you know, i love it and totally, it's a real refreshing show. why i didn't mean to be clumsy at the beginning,

talking about why i didn't watch it. it's just that there's a 1000000 things to watch and something stag me like, like fly fishing? like i got, i got to go. i got to go for the fly. when i heard soccer, i kind of went up but i can't wait to get back to it. because i met today cuz a couple times and i find him as they sat there with them comedian sort of each other out at the beginning that this is a super bright guy about the human condition. there was a lot more there than just jokes. he seems to have a stranglehold, and indeed his year has been circulated that probably i find it odd for him that he has personal turbulence and his greatest career thing. but just season is going to be super interesting. yeah, i mean you're in the listen. jason is an absolute legend and you know, the show is you know, and that impact serenity. he has them that warmth and that sort of spirit. he has

absolutely, you know, those kinds of things built down from the top bill lawrence as well. you know, they, they just got such a clear vision, the show they knew what they want. it's, you know, they set out to create the show with the tone that is, i think it, it, you know, it obviously helped know helped. that's the wrong kind of web, the fact over the global pandemic, i think that the show resonated with maybe more people than it would have initially . because, you know, i think people were really in need of something that had a real kind of warm and hopeful message and real optimistic energy to it. you know, at time that people really need it. but i think this, i was going to be what it was, you know, going to be, you know, irrespective of that. and yeah, the just smart guy. it's like you say that just so super clever. so she did emotionally to come to the retailing turned in emotionally. you know, one of the saddest parts of modern life for me is the fact that we have to qualify sediments. you do just got hung up on it there. i probably get hung up on

a 10 times a day. i hate that we have to go around and do immediate patch up, work on things like it probably help. everybody knows that nick mohammed is not, you know, sitting there talking about how coven could help. but he, they were so gun shy now, you know, that's just a colloquial and that's how we talk about humans game indicate. and yet we spent so much of our day now. i know about you have a spellcheck that goes off as i'm talking for a living and i go go back in tampa. don't move on much further before you put that fine. of course it doesn't mean that it helps. people are sitting at home feeling a little hang dog. they come in. there's a brilliantly funny show that has a nice effervescence about it that, that is completely for the initiated tell. tell the people just the basic outline that shows he's a american football coach who ends up give me a little. yeah. so. so jason place,

head last side who is an american football coach who comes over to k, a u k, premier league football team but doesn't really know the rules of football and he get the proper proper, kind of fish out sick. come in that respect and you know, very much plays it that the u. s. u k culture class to a degree. but, but there's more, there's more to it than that because i, the phrasing the show which is sort of be, be curious, not just mental. and that, that's what kind of ted is, you know, rather than resisting difference or sort of combating it being kind of aggressive towards any kind of difference or cynical he, he's like, ok, well, for the peach me and sort of show me why you know, your way is the best way and, you know, go through all of his interactions with all the different characters he comes across. he ends up making really public difference to everyone's lives and it really kind of, it just makes it very warm, positive show. and i think, you know,

i'm a big fan of sort of snarky comedies and doc comedies and cynical comedies. but i think they show sort of seem to so, but the trend little bit in that respect and it feels very refreshing. the results of that and and yeah, it just, it just felt like, you know, exactly the kind of show that we will, we will need it and you know, jason, so funny. and i was going to say, just before is what i think those rice's and that creates a team is so good is walking the fine line at being able to deliver on the comedy the also deliver emotionally and in terms of character development and so on. and often so often in other comedy, comedy, drama, it feels like you're kind of sacrificing one for the other and i think they just manage to try this very fine line, you know. and then the backdrop is soccer. so, no incidental, but not important. i find him a insightful knave to the degree that i've read about it and watched a few moments of it. i thought, oh, i see he is a bit of a knave through life,

but he's he has, he's the one who absolutely knows what humanities i find that talks again, i think it's very smart of him. and next time i see him, i'm just going to say, i respect you so much, i'm not even going to ask you how this guy's surname ended up being last. so unless they convey them to show it is such a funny choice, right off of that that makes me curious that they would be sitting there as j. pearlman trying to figure out character day is, will color. so let's so plenty to, i don't know how that's come about that because we came off the back of the commercials back in 2013. and so yeah, i don't know. i don't know the answer to the find out that you know, i don't quite know what the means are going to be this year. it seems to me that they're putting people in diving bells to keep them apart from each other. so nobody transfers this. you, you might be hurt. walker suits all sitting there. it might be done from home, but you're up for one. it's exciting, but it's also weird ramp up into because the artistic side of yourself in the

humble party yourself is what i, when fi. and then there's a killer for just i missed, i'm right at the gates with moses. i want to win this damn it. so it's, it's a, it's a funny, it's a dual track leading up to it, right? it's a fully ok. i mean listen, i feel so grateful and, you know, let me clean on by my think it's it so they can tell the. so you know, i almost do not to be nominated have weeks table for the same, but yeah it's, it's a lovely thing but yeah, i mean he knows if i think i think the promise for that to be an in post ceremony. i don't think they'll be an audience, but you know, who knows what kind of brings it might end up being, you know, like a virtual thing or whatever all day we will cannot connect it. you know, we don't have to travel to the states. i don't know, you know, i'm just if life was to be nominated and especially low side, so many of a fellow actors intended to lasso as well. yeah. who knows,

which way it's going to go. i, i have my, i my, which very my go. yeah. well, i know more about intelligence than i do about the ted last despite, and i think i don't know if that was up for this year, but that show makes me laugh originally. i'm schwimmer fan, you his sancho panza. in the, in the we'll talk more about it. i want, i want to talk about intelligence after the break. we're joined by our, our friend, nick. well, haven't the show is last. of course, you know, it's been nominated for, i believe over 20 emmy's coming up. he of course up for the best supporting actress season to now streaming on apple tv, plus and indeed it shows like this put the floss in the apple tv plus that will have it right up to this one. dennis miller plus one. well america, crazy frat party. in afghanistan is over 20 years,

leaving behind quite a mass. oh, when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't the room. yes. to see out the thing because after an engagement equal betrayal, when so many find themselves world apart, we choose to look for common ground in the i

the i folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one, enjoying our time with nick mohammed. and he is a british actor, comedian, writer era, parent james coordinate late night, tolliver, i'm just putting that out there myself. i'm trying to trying to bait that hook. and you've seen him in the martian, british, bridget jones, baby. and he also, i believe i think he's a creator writer. i know he's one of the stars of intelligence, but i also think this hatched out of mohammed mohammed bean. tell me about intelligence. it's on season 2 on peacock, david schwimmer the, the ultimate gordon. las guy and you sort of guy who idle operates right off his

right shoulder is probably shocked to find out for us and he such a dog. yeah, i'm so glad that you want to feel very well of it. yes, so i, i created the so i right to show and yet david, we show on the show together. yeah. so like a labor of love, i don't want to write workplace comedy. i had to. but if i there, you know, running at home about this with a bunch of bubbles, so against the sort of huge state the national security. and then i'd worked with david a, we kind of crossed paths on a pilot. i co written with julia davis. david was maybe going to be involved in and so we did some sort of workshop, improv stuff together. and that's how we met that was a few years ago now. and that, that she didn't, didn't, didn't get picked up, but they've not had stayed in contact. and he said, you know, if you ever, you know, you have to think of another way sort of, you know, allow kind of like an american up integration coming in. feel she home, you know,

let me know. and i've had this idea about getting a call me about about t c h q, and i be quite phone and quite, you know, not know beyond the realm of possibility. the agent, you know, the equivalent organization in the states and then this asian as publish at intelligence initiative, could have to come over and work with these guys and have a completely different way of working in a kind of classic. michelle would come sentence and so yeah, i sent david to the page outline and he, he was on board and yeah. then you know then the commission, the season, the season. so yeah, i kind of got right saying and yeah, we have a great time making that show and you know, season we didn't have a pilot, we went straight to the 1st season. and so i feel like i learned a lot reading see the wall and but yes, you can see which out on came on peacock in july i think june july yeah, i'm super proud of cuz it feels like we really kind of hit the super time with it, like i said earlier, you get hooked by things i get hook,

bye. sure. me or wherever i see schwimmer, i think, you know, if somebody's swim resent it, i go out. i yeah, he was so good on that. i've seen him play the plastic surgery. if you've ever seen that movie, where he plays a decorative plastic surgeon and that was oh, you have to watch it. he's just great. one of the guy events, breast augmentation, i believe or something i got. he's very sleazy, slimy, sort of a dallas, and he's just graded it. so what i saw him, i started watching this and believe, you know, this is where i knew your work from before i knew it from there. i love the fact what he's introduced to the judi dench for lack of a better comparison. m here the various, mostly super insightful about all that i saw the guy that movie laugh. rory, honestly and are you writing it alone? are you off in a room alone? nigger, tell me, tell me. yeah, yeah, completely right. and so they'd like to remote or anything. so right. you're alone

. and then you know, i'm saying that it's, it's very collaborative. once i've written it, you know, 1st draft. i send out the swim and swims business by the time as well, who, who's an exec on the show and the executive him a when and there isn't the director, you know, we all kind of, you know, will read it will pitch and then i'll go away and you know, redraft and stuff, but yeah, i right. cologne. and it's quite, yeah, it's quite quite factor for many feels sometimes it's like, you know, position of responsibility doing that. but i love it. and because it's such a kind of collaborative and creative atmosphere, you know, once we get to the set and with combing, you know, we'll, we'll try and mix it up a little bit. and you know, if we want to play with it, play around with it a little bit more, we will do a little bit of in proven stuff. so yeah, it's, it's, it's a real treat to get to work with, you know, arguably one of the greatest generation, you know, stone killer, you never had him drop a line every time there was a kill shot on friends. it looked at him and parry to there's a few, i listen,

the shows just great, obviously, but there's a company guys you could tell. they said we've got to kill scott here. could we go to? and those 2 were just don't matter. they were not think of doors they were, i'm out of doors. listen so many people are in erotic about confronting their muse . i'm. i'm ensure that you can write it yourself. i always found anytime i had to write something in life, if i knew did it of the magic sword from the stone thing and said listen, you've got to work opportunity here. it goes away at this time. if you don't sit and start hitting the keys or writing on the legal pad, i always try that rating for me. what's your process? how do you, can i completely agree? i think, you know, kind of calling yourself or right or the price of the right is this much for the psychological barriers. anything if you, if you can just allow yourself to just, you know, to just type and it doesn't matter if it's not good in the 1st instance, because at least you got something to make better, i guess. and so, yeah, i right, you know, i, we, we come up with episode outline,

quite detailed and usually kind of get approval from the channel and from, from the other exec, from the show, just that, you know, from a story point of view, this is all kind of going in the right direction of the season, all the old kind of stuff. but then i'll just sort of dive into into the script and make it older. but, you know, occasionally if, if i know that the see, and i just wanted to write because i can visualize it also to know the bits of dialogue that i think would work for. i'll just kind of go ahead and write that and then sort of piece it together a little bit like a jigsaw about you know, and occasionally also the flip side of that is if it's the same that you don't really know. you think what i know that this is got to happen in the scene, but i just never did have to write to see it all just for the missed the alphabet and maybe come back to the place placeholder in that. but yeah, it's just about, you know, just keeping on going and then. yeah, i just saw, right documentary, by ken burns, who's our leading documentarian here in america. and it was about ernest hemingway and hemingway said that he would sit out and he said he would just try to write one

true sentence, one in inherently true sentence. and then he would branch out from that. he said he would always leave the next days. first, 20 minutes in his head, not on the page, you know where he was going to go. but he said, i didn't want to come in and restart again. say, get the going. he'd get those 20. and then he said the rewrite was ever that. and i always, you know, he's such a genius in a declarative sense, but it's such a brilliant conceit that you just get on with it at some point. it cannot always be all magic touch to me. where to go for it's very easy to procrastinate as well, but just to get on with the best thing you can do. there are i'm faster as a buyer's. i to love magic. i never took it up, but i'm fascinated by it. i had performed and of course my life with 10 and 10 and tell her who i was fascinated by them. i had dinner with steve martin

a few nights ago and we were talking about him starting out at disneyland as a midget magician. and he showed me the 1st tricky did, and i can see that it's almost like surfing for magicians. it's something they can ride their entire life that they draw solid from it. and i think you're, you're, you're still a big, it's translated into some children's novels. but when did you get the bite for magic? as the, as a child lab failure, the child, you know, i was obsessed to the magic that my birthday. i think i was like fool. and yeah, i just, you know, then joined the like the genie factors. you know, the magic circle, which is, you know, a magic club in the u. k. yeah, i've not the, ever since i've worked freshly the magician before, you know, doing comedy and thing and thought pay my way free university and stuff. and i still love it. you know, so reading tons of magic books and you know, practicing tricks and you know, fly hand stuff with cards. and even though i, you know, i would rarely perform perform because, you know,

acting is sort of now them ok to a writing as well. but i still absolutely adore and it will be a fascination that will never go away. and i think they think that when you're into it, you are just obsessed that you kind of sort of not ever be sort of like halfway in or out of it. you know, i just, you know, i think about it over time. i love watching it. jason is as well. a huge magic, but i think it's quite common with a comedy you know, we say market as well. i think a lot of comedians have secret secret passion for magic. now then there's jerry seinfeld, what took the opposite approach? he used to do a joke. i remember it is actor, it hits. i don't like magic to me. magic, the still down is, here's the quarter. now it's gone. euro said, sadly, the real truth to that sort of like quite poor magic being born. but when you say when you see good magic been, well, it's like, you know,

the thing of where you are or you adopt a close up or where you in the grand gesture and where i can think of you in like marcia and your trailer, if you could probably work on your coin, dexterity in there for hours on end, but did you, did you like close up where you adapted? yeah. close to the thing i've done. i've worked at wedding hotels and restaurants doing kind of close up table to table. so yeah, that's what caught called more than coin, but yeah, yeah, i love it. and still that i got this thing i was i did a gig last night with thing so much because it's quite nice to. yeah, i just called a couple things with it. so yeah, it's nice to much to go back into that stuff. are you familiar with tony slide deni? here's one of the greatest slide show idea. yeah. the slide 123 thing and the fly daily handkerchief the prize. and then they fall apart. yeah. love it. of all the, all the classic stuff this is killers. brilliant, brilliant,

brilliant stuff. steve did a variation on slide, dean, exact, very called a fly deni. and he had a fake arm and he used his 3rd had to come from his soup for he did a car to y'all on line. it just made me laugh at such a surreal, said saint martin as fly dini doing close out of this car to you all to be the most surreal thing that ever existed in the world of magic? well listen to children's novel is the young magician's and the 24 hour telepathy plot to children and novels by our friend. and the other one is the magicians and the thieves almanac. he's writing a great show which i'm much more familiar with the law. so at this point called intelligence, look for season 2 over on peacock, he is up for an emmy for a ted last best supporting actor. i hope he wins and he has a hell fellow. well met. we've enjoyed our time and went so quickly. i didn't even

notice that fern growing over his left shoulder, which started as a small piece of light, could not turned into an absolute being stuck over his shoulder. this time next by so much for having me that it's taken at 5, but it will happen. this is dennis miller plus one the the is still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos. you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its group on the world that was like an inquiry like a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trays like

a monopoly makes money like monopoly behaves like monopoly, like amazon essentially controlled the market place. it's not really a market as a private arena where a single company controls the distribution of daily products. and the infrastructure of our economy is the, according to amazon, me, the americans love buying homes. ah, this was a funded mental part of how our political leadership and our country, large understood the bargain. you get a whole and then you will rebel, right? as the things you don't revolt, if you have a stake in the system,

be really interesting to dial back and think about no longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream, but the bigger question of who the dream has been for the headline news, a double terror attack or the cobble airport hills. more than a 100. and then just at least a $150.00 during evacuation. at 13 us military personnel or among the dead of correspondent that says there was several more blas bye and claims its american forces destroying their own ammunition and islamic state affiliate an app. gotta stand known as ice. this case says it carried out the bombings status. the taliban condemns the attack. the telephone had earlier warned that an attack on cobble had .
