he is. >> there you are! >> a fantastic evening, by the way. i really did enjoy that. no, it's been a great ride. we started this thing, we screened it first at the south by southwest film festival. i was definitely nervous and wondering how the audience was going to react. then it won the audience award there. since then it's just been a phenomenal reside. >> it's huge. everyone loves it. >> i loves the guys and robbie malic just been this wondrous joyful thing. a very intense subject matter and it's wild to be working on something that is so relevant to what's happening in the world right now. >> it's like the script is written in realtime, all of the things happening in that show. >> it's incredible. we'd be filming things on one day and turn -- open the paper the next day and it would be a very, very similar story. so incredible. >> i remember you were saying

>> it's intense. >> it is intense. i read the script and had a little anxiety and trepidation about it because the subject matter was rather intense and it was certainly an out of the box type of character for me to be involved with and something that i had never really done before. but then i realized, wait, i'm an actor. the joy of getting -- one of the lines in the film is it's fun to play with who we are. and as an actor, i mean that is certainly something that i get the opportunity to do. i get doing that today. >> do you have a favorite film that you've done, a favorite character? >> yeah. i mean the one that i really have probably the fondest memories of is "pump the volume." that one i was the radio dj. look, there he is. mark hunter. >> and soon after that, everyone had christian slater posters. >> the hair and everything. >> there i am.

aunt were watching and i couldn't disgrace texas. but you have to wear what you feel comfortable in. >> completely. >> even though somebody might think sneakers, because it is the most intimidating thing to be -- this is our house. forget politics. this is our nation's home. >> right. >> i was like -- i'm shaking now. >> it's a big deal. >> you're also -- i thought about you, dylan. here's the place mark, it has your name on it. >> it has your name on it, not mine. >> i wanted you to be there with me but i did have that awkward country kid moment. as many dinners as we'd gone to. they had like 99 forks and knives. >> always start from the outside and work your way in. >> i had that moment where you look around the table and everybody taking the same fork. >> i have so many forks, i don't know what to do. the menu sounded delicious. >> mario batalli prepared one of

>> yeah, that helps. i needed that. okay. i was still somehow able to do it. >> it was like a big pasta. >> pinwheel -- >> i like the beef. >> they had wine with each course and because i knew i had to be up early -- >> they had wine with each course? >> so only get to go it's not like i'm at chuy's having tequila shots. oh, michelle obama won the most beautiful atelier versace. it was like when she walked by, you get to greet the first lady and the president. and the first lady introduced me to the prime minister's wife as one of our nation's top journalists. i was like who's behind me? >> what an honor. >> so you get to greet them. you walk in.

i wish i could take every person that i've ever met and not met to that, but if you ever get a chance to tour the white house, it's our house, it's this country's house and it is just a beautiful experience. >> it's a great tour, a wonderful tour. i love it. >> meanwhile, i heard that you and your hubby are waging a war with my friends, what's going on? >> i adore m & ms, i love m & ms. >> what's going down? >> yesterday on kathie lee and hoda's show, they tried m & ms for the first time. >> do we have them? >> we don't. they are so good everyone ate them. but i needed to tell this story because my husband calls me up and he says i'm appear plek particular right now. >> i've only heard reince priebus use that word. >> back in college my husband wrote to m & ms and said you really need a caramel m & m. finally they responded and said, no, we're not taking any new ideas. >> hello.

so last year i did a shoot with m & ms for their anniversary. great shoot. i ate all their m & ms and i said you don't have a caramel m & m flavor. they said, no, we never have. darn it, there is m & ms with caramel filling that exists right now. >> let's investigate this. >> this is a big deal. >> yes. >> so your husband wrote multiple letters ten years ago. >> yes. >> does he still have those letters? >> he does not. i wish we had the proof to show. >> but you have video of you in the plant. do you have the audio? >> i need to find the me saying that you really need to create a caramel m & m. >> we could find that audio. >> i'll either take 10% of your profits or a bag of caramel m & ms. >> you went so high and so low. >> that's the scale. >> but i just had to put it out there that i feel like they're -- i feel like -- >> it's a creative and brilliant idea. the fact your hsband is clear

>> what's next on the list? i've never seen something where i thought of that. one of those moments. >> anything that i have -- you know, well, cell phones, yeah. that was really -- i had that idea back in, yeah, 1987. and look at this. >> right? >> i know. i have a drawing actually. >> instead of saying apple, we could be saying slater. >> that would have been cool. >> the slater iphone. >> we have a for you this morning. what are your thoughts on this. our friends at american express have given us extra time to delve deeper into things matter. we would normally be in a commercial break right now and you would be running to the potty. that's not happening today. check out this outfit from rihanna and let us know is this a love it or lose it moment. it's a denim skirt.

learned how to pronounce that because i was taught. it's a very edgy line of clothing. >> is this shirt coming out of the bottom of the skirt? >> is that what's going on? >> dylan, your thoughts. >> i don't know. it looks like it's a mistake and the skirt is riding up. >> yeah, yeah. >> see, i love it. i absolutely adore it. >> you can pull off those trendy styles. >> i cannot. >> i would look like my shirt is too long and my skirt is too short. >> if she didn't have the s on,hat would we be seeing? se how short the skirt is? i think it's designed to look like that because the skirt is above herbackside. >> oh, it you thin shik the is -- >> the skirt is. the skirt line is thigh. >> right. >> so the shirt, she needs -- i thkt was designed that way. >> no, we definitely need to get a measuring tape out and really study this. >> rihanna, christian slater
