unsurprising since aaron sorkin wrote both of the play and film of a few good men.history, and inevitable screen hokum that you can find in cinemas now. meanwhile, the netflix—only release of the boys in the band also takes us back to 1968, with a new version of mark crowley's stage play. all right, this is a raid, everybody‘s under arrest. hello darling — connie casserole, or mary, don't ask? hi, ann marie. come one, you can put it in the kitchen. who is this exotic woman over here? my dear, i thought you had perished, where have you been hiding your classically—chiseled features? crowley's play was first filmed in 1970 by william friedkin, with leonard fry as birthday boy harold, at whose party a group of gay men tear themselves and each other apart. since then, it's had numerous revivals including a barnstorming 2017 west end production in which mark gatiss played the imperious harold to a t. happy birthday. you're late. 0h, michael, you kill me. when he's sober, he's dangerous. when he drinks, he's lethal. now zachary quinto takes on that enigmatic role, rejoini

in honor of sorkin, i wanted to do the whole thing as a "walk and talk." right now, office hallways are just a disease vector, so we zoomed it. in prepping for tonight, it's been a treat to turn my attention to the happiest time in american history: fiction. and when it comes to fictional presidents, no one inspired our country like president josiah bartlett. he led the country-- at least on tv-- from 1999-2006, at which point he retired and found love with sam waterston. you know, donald trump could take a page out of jed bartlett's book, especially when it comes to handling illness. when jed bartlet developed m.s., he initially tried to hide it from the country. but, fortunately, bartlett had another condition trump never tested positive for: a conscience. >> i may not have had sinister intent at the outset, but there were plenty of opportunities for me to make it right. no one in government takes responsibility for anything anymore. we fluster, we obfuscate, we rationalize. everybody does it. that's what we say. so we come to occupy a moral safehouse wh

the subject of a new netflix film, the trial of the chicago seven, written and directed by aaron sorkin. >> you really think there will be a big audience. >> reporter: the movie has been in the works for 14 years but sorkin said it took on a new urgency after president trump took office. >> reporter: was there a moment when you said okay, now i need to tell the story. >> well, it began when he was running for president and at his rallies. he would become nostalgic. >> like to punch them in the face. >> about the old days when they beat the crap out of them. >> you know what they used to do to guys like that in a place like this. they would be taken out in a stretcher. >> the police advanced into the crowd. >> reporter: one of those protesters, chicago seven rennie davis needed a stretcher. >> i was being clubbed by police. the police were literally screaming kill davis. >> reporter: how bad was your head injury? >> i had to go to the hospital. i will tell the story i have never shared before publicly. i went to the hospital to get 13 stitches. the police realized i was in the hospital b

but then, you know, i had -- the whole sorkin thing is interesting. >> jimmy: had you worked before -- >> no. >> jimmy: yeah. >> a long time ago -- i bet you remember this. there was a show called "sports night." >> jimmy: yeah, sure, great show, yeah. >> yeah. he had done -- i think he probably had done some things in television before, i don't really remember. but i remember thinking, man, who is this guy? and we have so many -- a friend in common who said, you want to go out? have lunch? i did and i just said, someday we have to do something together. that was like, i don't know how many years ago, 25, 30 years. whenever "sports night" was on. >> jimmy: right. >> finally it took all these years for us to finally do something. when he called -- i had done a play reading with him. but that's -- this is the only thing we've ever done. it was great. >> jimmy: yeah. you think he had you in his head for probably, what, "sports night" was probably 22 years ago, something like that? >> yeah, i live a life where i think everybody's kind of got me in their h

is this the first time you worked with aaron sorkin >> it is it is."hey, tell me everything or --" do you have to talk really fast - >> you know what, it's funny you should say that because there was a moment when a wonderful british actor alex sharpe and i were prepping and we were rehearsing together the two of us just a scene and it was kind of working but we weren't making it fly. and one of us suddenly -- i can't remember if it was he or i said, "how about we just walk down this really long corridor incredibly quickly and say the words as quickly as we can?" and without -- i mean, it's just sort of like it's like this joke but actually the entire scene came together and so in the film there is a moment in which we're walking through our part really quickly talking like -- the amazing thing about doing sorkin is he is just so much brighter than you are and his characters are so much brighter than you are that you get momentarily to have this speed of thought and feel slightly more intelligent than i am which was wonderful. >> jimmy: i want to show

i also want the talk to you about the trial of the chicago 7, aaron sorkin's new movie where you playdoing a movie for a director who also wrote it who's famous for the precision of his language and being a stickler for the lines? >> yep, it was -- i did ask aaron, i did say why did you cast a well-known improviser to say your words precisely? and he was very, very kind, actually. aaron would always allow me to do one for fun afterwards, where i got his version. i would say could i do one that's a little looser? obviously none go in the movie, his words got in. but, yeah, i mean, it was great in that it was just easier. >> stephen: was it hard to play abby hoffman who was the kind of guy who wouldn't care what aaron sorkin said about saying the right lines? >> yeah, he used these kind of clownish techniques and, you know, big students try and pursue political ends. i mean, you know, he had 10,000 people or 20,000 people try to levitate the postmaster general. so he did these crazy wild things but he was really a deeply committed political activist who ultimately, you know, was ready t
