you know, look at that low ball. oh, let me say what's happening? has the goal low ball bang, perpetuate there. lowball money thing a folks. well, it's taking the world by starting the world t. v. ted lasso jason's film show over there on apple plus and his aid to camp his side kick is a very funny nick, more habit. and this shows got a nice little to it. funny. but it has a gentleman that i think we can use in this time. we'll talk to nick about that. and he's also written a great, great show called intelligence. very funny david schwimmer and he will also dive into the little nic mohammed right up to this. dennis miller plus one

the folks welcome to dennis miller plus one. that should be fine. as i studied on the nic mohammad left 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 might 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. she also appeared in film such as the martian bridget jones baby nix, nominated, also for out standing supporting actor and a comedy series for is performance. and last season too is now streaming on apple tv,

plus please welcome nick mohammed. thank you for that intro. very kind and yeah, if james could and you know, wants to hang up on me. all, i'm all is 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 lorry 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,

tony? 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 always in character rather than stand up and yeah. doesn't think that character identical, mr. swallow and yeah, i think the bit you're referring to is him singing alone to the drastic park theme . tune words that he's written which effectively for summarize, the plot of drastic park 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 i ever get recognized. so anything industry you're directly, i'm like, well, you know, that's, that's john williams, the great american school composer. 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 thing 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 is 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, that it come from places you love trucks. oh he, he honestly, i'll be obsessed. i've got like a big collection now, like cds and i just thought of the kids and dress and thought 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. just talking outside shop. listen, this last so i you know what, i don't know, soccer. i don't know what put you off a show it to be getting 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, 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, primarily 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 to enjoy the show. i think there is a lot of them problem city and. busy so many fun than very characters in the show that kind of inhabit this world and surround that. yeah. that make it really uplifting. and hopefully can resonate with anyone 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 got a snag. 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 as 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 see, since this is going to be super interesting. yeah, i mean sure. in the listen, jason is an absolute legend and you know, the show is you know, and that impact serenity he has in that warmth and that sort of spirit. he have

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 whether 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 woman hopeful message in real optimistic energy to it. you know, at time that people really need it. but i think this 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 emotion needs 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 or that's how we talk to humans game indicate, and yet we spent so much of our day now. i know about you, i have a spell check 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 is 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 and show as he's a american football coach who ends up give me yeah. so. so jason

plays head last night who is an american football coach, who yet comes over to coach. you pay premier league football team but doesn't really know the rules 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 the be curious not just mental. and that, that's what kind of ted is, you know, rather than resisting difference or sort of come back to being kind of aggressive towards any kind of difference or cynical he is like, ok, what sort of teach me and sort of show me why, you know, your way is the best way and you know, he go through all of his interactions with all the different characters he comes across the ends up making really public difference to everyone's lives. and it really kind of, it just makes a 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 of 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 from a and what was going to say just before was, well, i think that those rice's and that creates a team is so good, is walking the fine line at being able to deliver on the comedy, but 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 in fox again, i think it's very smart of him. 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 guys 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 because don't see 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 that what i, when fi and then there's a killer. i miss, i'm right at the gates with moses. i want to win this dab 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 we say one for the same, but yeah it's, it's a lovely thing, but yeah, i mean, who knows if i think i think the plan is 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 that we will cannot connect said, 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 hilo side, so many of you know,

fellow actors intent said 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, let's, i know more about intelligence than i do about the deadline despite and i think i don't know if that was up for this year, but that show makes me laugh. a virtuously. 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 hammond. the show is ted last. so 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 they have it right up to this one. dennis miller plus one back geysers financial survival guide. housing level.

oh, you mean the downside? artificially low mortgage right? don't get carried away. i was calling to report americans love buying homes. ah, ah, this was fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at 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 the 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 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 hooked. 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 beam. tell me about intelligence. it's on season 2 on peacock, david schwimmer, the, the ultimate garm, las guy, and you sort of guy who idle operates right off his right shoulder is probably shocked to find out in person he such a dog. yeah, i'm sorry. got that. you want to feel very good. all of it? yes. so i, i created the show, i write to show and yet david,

we show on the show together. yeah. like a labor of love. i don't want to write workplace comedy i had but if i there, you know, running at home about me sort of bunch of bubbles. so i got 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 julie davis that 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 not sure i 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 got up and coming in, feel she home, you know, let me know. and i have this idea about getting a call me about about the edge 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 the agent as part of the shed

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, it would come sentence and so yeah, i sent david the, the page outline and he, you know, he was on board and yeah then you know, then the commission, the season, the love seat. and 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 hi that we went straight to the 1st season. and so i feel like i learned a lot reading see the wall and they get these and see which out on came on peacock in july i think june july yeah, i'm super proud because it feels like we really kind of hit that one and 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 thing, you know, if somebody says who resent it, i go watch i, buddy. yeah, he was so good on that. i've seen him play the plastic surgeon era. if you've ever seen that movie, where he plays a decorative plastic surgeon and that was oh,

you have to watch. he's just great. one of the guy events, breast augmentation, i believe or something. i got these very sleazy, slimy, sort of a dallas and he's just graded it. so what i saw him, i started watching 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 maybe laugh rory, honestly and are you writing it alone? are you off in a room alone? nigger yeah, tell me. yeah, completely, right. and so they like remotely or anything. so right. and then you know, i'm saying that it's, it's very collaborative. once i've written a 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 when there is in the directly,

you know, we all kind of will read and will pitch and then i'll go away and, you know, redraft and stuff, but yeah, i right alone. and it's quite, yeah, it's quite, quite factor 5 and he feels sometimes it's like, you know, position responsibility doing that. but i love it. and because it's kind of collaborative and creative atmosphere, you know, once we get to the set 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 the scene 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 an kill shot on friends. you'd look at him and perry to, there's a to a, i listen shows just great, obviously. but there's a couple guys you could tell. they said we've got to kill sky here. 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 neurotic about confronting their muse.

i'm. i'm sure that you can write it yourself. i always found any time 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 little pad, i always try that ever rating for me. what's your process? what, how do you, can i completely agree? i think it, you know, kind of calling yourself or right, or the price or the right it's, it's mostly for the psychological barriers. anything if you, if you can just allow yourself to just talk to just type and it doesn't matter if it's not good in the 1st instance because at least you've got something to make better, i guess. and so, yeah, i right, you know, i, we, we come up with episode outlined, quite detailed and usually kind of get approval from the channel and from, from the other effects on the show. just that, you know, from a story point of view, this is all kind of going in the right direction and the fees and all that kind of stuff. but then i'll just sort of dive into into the script and write it order. but,

you know, occasionally if, if i know that the scene, i just want to write because i can visualize, they all sort of 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, an occasionally also the flip side of that is, this is the thing that you don't really know. you think what i know that this is got to happen in the scene, but i just don't have to write to see it. i'll just miss the alphabet and maybe come back to the place placeholder in that. but yeah, it's just about, you know, you just keep me 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 here, actually true sentence. and then he would branch out from that. he said he would always leave the next days, 1st, 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. so you can't the going, he get those 20 and then he said the rewrite was everything and i always thought, 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 be the way to go. sorry if it's procrastinate as well, but just to get on with the best thing you can do. there are, i'm faster as a buyers. i to love magic. i never took it up, but i'm fascinated by it. i had performed in the course of my life with 10 and 10 and teller 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 a 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, you know, got like magic set. my birthday. i think i was like, fool. yeah, i just, you know, then joins the like the genie factors. you know, the magic circle, which is, you know, a magic club in the yeah, i've not the ever since i've worked freshly the magician before, you know, doing comedy and thing. and so i pay my way free university and stuff. and i still love it. you know, i still reading tons of magic books and you know, practicing tricks and you know, fly pat and stuff with cards. and even though i, you know, i would rarely perform perform because, you know, acting is sort of them okay 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 than ever be sort of like halfway

in or out of it. you know, i just, you know, i think about it all the time. i love watching it. jason is a huge magic, but i think it's quite common with a comedy you know, as well. i think a lot of comedians have a secret secret passion for magic. 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. your 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 what were 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 the day like, you know, work at weddings and 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 think i did a gig last night with things so much because that is quite nice to yeah, i think just because no card things with it. so yeah, it's nice to much to go back into all that stuff. are you familiar with tony slide deni? here's one of the greatest slide show. 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, you know, it's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant stuff, steve. good. a variation on slide, dean, exact, very called a fly deni. and he had a fake arm and he used his 3rd hand to come from his super did he go to the 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 his 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, 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 lichen turned into an absolute being stuck over his shoulder. this time next by so much for having me that it's take at 5,

but nick will have this is dennis miller plus one the me and i make no certainly no borders under the model number, please emerge . we don't have authority. we don't actually, the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judge, you know, crisis we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in your own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges for the response has

been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in or military mission against dam. we'll conclude on august 31st. i was going to who did a good to us all the quote unquote, a young girl who i really monday through so much you got to do something that company will cut chicago. okay. that was really the place to get a quote to show that this was the right weapon against the right and the local. no, no, no bought it from but it was filled out through z o o z

the, the signing of the us to all about agreement. and i laid the groundwork for the road ahead toward a lasting peace in afghanistan. and i know that i'm a dunaway and as i have the more than 100 dead, 1300 injured the tragic off tomorrow of a terror attack. but chicago port, what crowd of people, both gowns on foreigners, but crammed together, waiting to be evacuated from the country. of correspondent reports from the city were searches and raids carried out throughout the city over the course of tonight and with terror threats at the airport. the still hot.
