0:00:02 > 0:00:04Tonight, we'll be talking about the new Quentin Tarantino film.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07How to make the show more Tarantino? We need a cool soundtrack.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09MUSIC: Misirlou by Dick Dale Loving it.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11We need some really offensive language.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- Shit!- Steady on! LAUGHTER
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And we need a random act of sudden violence.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Let's start the show!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Oh!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Thank you!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Good evening! CHEERING
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Yes, yes, thank you very much.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Great line-up tonight, including the star of the new Tarantino film,
0:00:54 > 0:00:55The Hateful Eight,
0:00:55 > 0:01:00where all the characters are trapped together during a snowstorm.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03You can tell it's a Tarantino movie because of the snowman outside.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I have to say, though, my favourite Tarantino film
0:01:08 > 0:01:10has to be Inglourious Basterds.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13WHOOPING Yeah, I know.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Look, the word "Basterds" has been spelt wrongly.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Mind you, that can happen with swear words.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Look how they've spelt the word "twat" here.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23LAUGHTER
0:01:23 > 0:01:25APPLAUSE
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Let's get some guests on!
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Later, we'll have music and chat from sensational singer-songwriter Sia!
0:01:33 > 0:01:34CHEERING
0:01:34 > 0:01:37But first, he's one of Britain's biggest new comedy stars,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40and is winning a legion of new fans with his BBC sitcom Josh,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42please welcome Josh Widdicombe!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44CHEERING
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Hello.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Hello, sir, nice to see you, have a seat.- Very good.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54She is the star of Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, Mean Girls,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Baby Mama, Date Night.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Now, she's starring in the hilarious new film Sisters.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Please welcome the first lady of American comedy, it's Tina Fey!
0:02:03 > 0:02:04CHEERING
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Yes, oh, I'm so excited to meet you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Hello. How are you?- Fine, thank you.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Sit down. That's Josh. - Nice to meet you.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16And this Hollywood great began his career at the age of ten.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20And, over five decades, he's starred in classic hits like Overboard,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Big Trouble In Little China, Tombstone, and Escape From New York.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Now, he's starring in Tarantino's newest epic, The Hateful Eight.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Please welcome the mighty Kurt Russell!
0:02:29 > 0:02:30CHEERING
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Oh! Hello! How are you?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You're so fresh-faced.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37APPLAUSE
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Welcome all.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44- Hello, everybody. GUESTS:- Hello.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Thanks for being here. Before I do another thing, I should apologise.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52If you've tuned in to see Quentin Tarantino himself, he can't make it.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55But, hey, we've got the star of the movie,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Kurt Russell, ladies and gentlemen! APPLAUSE
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Better. Better.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Why did he not come? - He's overextended!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06You know what it is? I don't know if it's superstition or not,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10but he's watching the premiere of the movie here.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15And he said, "If I leave... I just can't do it."
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- So he's not seen it?- I said, "Can I say that to Graham?"
0:03:18 > 0:03:20He said, "Yeah, please do."
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- OK, cool.- I was afraid I'd offended him,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- because we did a joke about him... - You did!- ..at the Golden Globes
0:03:25 > 0:03:27where I said he was the star of my sexual nightmares.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30But I think he liked it!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32That's very good, got a good sense of humour.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Josh, you don't care. You're just a huge Kurt Russell fan.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'm a huge Kurt Russell fan.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39This is very exciting.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41My favourite film that you've done, Kurt,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I got recommended a film by my friend Nathaniel
0:03:44 > 0:03:46called The Barefoot Executive.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49A few millennia ago.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- It's the best. - It's so good.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55It's the best premise for a film of all time.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58It's funny you say that. It got to be known as that.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It didn't look like it at first. But it's a pretty funny idea.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06If you haven't seen it, it's about Kurt, who's a TV executive,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08and his friend who is a monkey.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09LAUGHTER
0:04:09 > 0:04:13And, get this, the monkey, if it watches a show,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15it knows if it's going to be a hit or a miss.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- It's genius!- It's amazing.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19There's a picture of you and the chimp.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22There you are.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Oh, wow!- It's such a good film.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I actually think it's better than The Godfather.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29LAUGHTER
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Tina, you are here promoting your movie, Sisters.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Yep.- And you've been rolling out your British accent.
0:04:36 > 0:04:43Yes, Amy and I did a little parody, a short called The Farce Awakens
0:04:43 > 0:04:45where we are doing a fake behind-the-scenes
0:04:45 > 0:04:48in the style of all these behind-the-scenes Star Wars things.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- IN A BRITISH ACCENT: - We're British in it,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53speaking like this to hide the fact that we're drunk.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Which really works, because you can't tell.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02I'm so drunk right now, you can't tell, I just sound proper.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09The Star Wars thing... Your movie is really, really good.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Thank you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- But it may not be the number-one film that week.- I don't know(!)
0:05:13 > 0:05:14I think it's too soon to tell.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Definite awareness is high.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It comes out the same day as Star Wars, so,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- it's what they call counterprogramming.- OK.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Like when they put on very gay shows during the Super Bowl.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Is the Super Bowl currently on?!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Somewhere! Somewhere it is.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45The weird thing is, you auditioned for Star Wars, didn't you, Kurt?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, yeah, years ago, they were going to do this movie.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Guys my age were all going in to read for it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I read for both parts, actually, for Han Solo and...
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Princess Leia!
0:05:57 > 0:05:58It went in a different direction.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's funny because, at the time,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07it was the Millennium Falcon this, the Death Star that.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09We had no idea what we were talking about.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10"Like, this is a real turkey."
0:06:10 > 0:06:12That was the Death Star, you know.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18There's this young guy. Lucas was about 25 or something.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I said, "I've got to make a choice here.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23"Do you know if you're going to use me in this movie?"
0:06:23 > 0:06:27He said, "There's a lot of combinations that I'm looking at
0:06:27 > 0:06:29"and I don't know."
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I said, "I've got to go to work."
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- What did you do instead of Star Wars? - I didn't do it instead of Star Wars,
0:06:35 > 0:06:36he may not have used me.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Let's go with, you did it instead of Star Wars.- Yeah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- He turned down Star Wars. - I did not turn down Star Wars!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Please, God, let it be the chimp film!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46LAUGHTER
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I didn't turn down anything.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Tina Fey, you've given us your Princess Leia.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Yeah, I was a big Star Wars fan as a kid.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00And I've dressed up like Princess Leia for TV shows. Just any excuse.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01In 30 Rock, I was always getting...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04To get out of jury duty, I would dress up like Princess Leia.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08If you want to meet some perverts, dress up like Princess Leia!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Some guy from the crew you've never met before will come talk to you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17People, it's a real specific... pervert that likes that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Imagine a version of Star Wars that was never made
0:07:21 > 0:07:23where you're Princess Leia and you're Han Solo.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Do the "I love you" line. - Oh, oh, yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Getting into character. Hold on. - Very professional.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- My hair...- There's some perverts coming over from the horizon.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Um. I love you.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38I know.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40See, that's cool. He should have got it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Mwargh!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Very good. APPLAUSE
0:07:45 > 0:07:48A bit of Chewbacca, nice. Nice.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Let's talk about the new Tarantino epic, The Hateful Eight.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It opens here on the 8th of January.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00And it is Tarantino, but it's a western, it's epic.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02So, which of The Hateful Eight are you, Kurt?
0:08:02 > 0:08:07I'm John Ruth, John "The Hangman" Ruth. I bring my bounties in alive.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11He's bringing this bounty in, and there's a snowstorm.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Pick up a couple of guys that are out there in the snow
0:08:15 > 0:08:18in the middle of nowhere, which is suspicious to him already,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20he's very paranoid.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Samuel Jackson is also a bounty hunter,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24so he might want to take his bounty from him.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And then there is a guy who claims to be the sheriff.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30They're trying to make it to Red Rock where they'll get the money,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32or he's going to the money for this bounty.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36And now they've got to stop at this place that's a halfway spot.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38And there's already people there.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40So he's very paranoid about everybody there.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Then the whole movie is about what unfolds.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Who's who, who's lying about who they are,
0:08:47 > 0:08:48who might not be who they are.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- And it's Tarantino, so there will be blood.- Oh, there will.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53There will be blood!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57We've got a picture of you as John Ruth. Can I just say,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01as a beard owner myself, some great beard work here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02That took four months to grow.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- That's a moustache wearing a man. - Is that real?- Yeah.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Oh, good work.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Well, Goldie didn't think highly of it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16In the movie, it looks stunning.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18But I must say, I'm with Goldie,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21in real life it didn't really work that well.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24LAUGHTER
0:09:24 > 0:09:26This is the life of an actor.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28But you are married to a beard.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I am married to a beard.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31- I am not a beard!- No!
0:09:31 > 0:09:33But I am married...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36My husband's got a beard, a nice salt-and-pepper beard like yours.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I like it. I wouldn't have said I was a beard person,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41but I like it on him.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44The beard I don't like is, and you see this a lot at home,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48you get a fat guy who shaves that skinny little beard here
0:09:48 > 0:09:51to show where his jaw would be!
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Or the one down here that my friend Paula refers to as a "furtle" neck.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00But I like a good...
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Do you like the way it looks, but not like the way it feels?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07I mean, it's softer now. When it's coming in, it's a little scratchy,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11but I'm used to it now, and I think it suits him, the salt and pepper.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Ah, Goldie hates it. - It's nice, but baby skin is nice.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Can you grow a beard?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19If we had a race, I think I could beat him
0:10:19 > 0:10:21if we had a beard-growing race.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- It would be patchy but I could do it.- No, I can't, really.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30I've never grown a proper beard, because it's patchy and ginger.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- That doesn't sound great. - Quit bragging!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Patchy and Ginger could be a pop duo.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41No. It's no good. You shave those bits, don't you, there?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Yes, shave it there, otherwise it would eventually
0:10:44 > 0:10:46just grow up and join my eyebrows.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50And I could pick hit-or-miss television shows, it would be good.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55The Hateful Eight, we've got a clip.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58These are some moments from The Hateful Eight.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Got room for one more?
0:11:10 > 0:11:15This here is Daisy Domergue, she's wanted dead or alive for murder.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19When that sun comes out, I'm taking this woman to hang.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Is there anybody here committed to stoppin' me from doing that?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Looks like Minnie's Haberdashery's about to get coated.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33One of them fellas is not what he says he is.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39APPLAUSE
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- It's seriously good.- Yeah.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Everyone says making a Tarantino movie isn't like anything else.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Now that he's not here...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- We can talk about it. - What does that mean?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Is it a good thing it's not like anything else?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It's funny, I'd heard a lot about him,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and his people talk about his mercurial way.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I don't know. I love the guy, I just think he's great.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06His heart's in it. I wish every actor could work with him.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Cheers for that!
0:12:08 > 0:12:13All I can say is, come prepared to give everything you can think of.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17If you come ready to play, you're going to have the time of your life.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19If you're not ready to play, or if you're lazy,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22or if it doesn't click or doesn't mean that much to you,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24then it's not going to work.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- He has rules on set, doesn't he? - Um. Yeah, just a couple.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33One of them is that you can't bring any device you can turn on or off,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35which I think is great. You're there to work.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I don't think you should have anything like that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39The other one's a little rougher,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41tougher on me because I grew up sleeping on sets.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44When I hear people working, I like to slump down and take a nap.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47As you get older, you like to take more and more naps,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51and he won't allow sleeping on his set.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55So, if anybody is caught sleeping,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59one of his rules is that they will slide in
0:12:59 > 0:13:01and put Big Jerry next to your face,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05and take a picture of you with Big Jerry, and put you on the wall.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- What is Big Jerry?- Big Jerry's a dildo that's about that big.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Purple.- Purple?- It's a purple dildo. - Purple dildo.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Can you turn Big Jerry on and off?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18You know what? Sometimes I get tired,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and I'd say, "Bring me Big Jerry."
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I don't know where we got this. It's a picture from Inglourious Basterds
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- of Brad Pitt with Big Jerry. - Could be. There you go.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Jerry is big, I'll give you that.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Tina, you started directing, started as a director, quite young.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Was it in school or summer camp?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Yeah, I'm not really a director
0:13:44 > 0:13:47but when I was in community theatre in my town
0:13:47 > 0:13:50and I would be, like, the assistant to the director
0:13:50 > 0:13:52in this little town theatre.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Mostly just leveraged it to sabotage girls that I was jealous of.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00This girl was dating the boy that I loved,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03and I would be like, "I don't think she's right for this."
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Really, like, just the worst behaviour you've ever seen
0:14:07 > 0:14:09at such a low level.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Such a low-stakes sabotage.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Well done, you, though. - Yeah, I did it, nailed it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18When you became head writer on Saturday Night Live,
0:14:18 > 0:14:22then you DID have to deal with big stars' egos.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Yes. Have you hosted?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- No.- You've never done it?- Nope.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Maybe for this you should it.- No, no.- Why? You would have so much fun.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31I'm just one of those people,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- you are better off without me. - No, I doubt it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Yeah, yeah, yeah! - LAUGHTER
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yeah, yeah. You too!
0:14:38 > 0:14:42But, you do, you have all these big stars come through every week.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44But you do realise that, even though they're Oscar winners
0:14:44 > 0:14:47and big stars, that they're kind of nervous
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- and they just want...- They want it to be good.- They want it to be good.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52And they want you to tell them. "Just tell me how to do it."
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I remember I got pranked. My very first show there.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I was, like, 27 years old.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00And my first show, the host was Sylvester Stallone
0:15:00 > 0:15:03which is a big, that's like Kurt, like a movie star.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- No, I've heard of him!- Yeah!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And we were doing some sketch, and then,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I was assigned to help out and be a helper on this sketch.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14They were like, they just pranked me,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16"You need to go into his dressing room
0:15:16 > 0:15:19"and tell him we can't understand anything he's saying."
0:15:20 > 0:15:22"OK."
0:15:24 > 0:15:26And he was so sweet about it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It was clearly not the first time he'd gotten that note.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33He was, like, "Aw, you can't understand me, all right. I'll try to enunciate."
0:15:33 > 0:15:35But he was so nice. Everyone just wants to do a good job.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38He's a great guy, isn't he? I got to work with him once,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- he's just a wonderful guy. - Tango And Cash!- Yep.- Yes.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Yay! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Kurt, in the movie, you play another one of these big alpha males.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54We've seen you in Backdraft, Big Trouble In Little China, Stargate.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And, of course, Escape From New York, another terrific film.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59WHOOPING Yes.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01APPLAUSE
0:16:01 > 0:16:07You were saying, when you were making this movie, and in the outfit,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10you knew this movie was going to work.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Oh, um. Yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Of course, you shoot Escape From New York in St Louis(!)
0:16:18 > 0:16:22The reason we did was because, at that time, the centre of St Louis
0:16:22 > 0:16:23was literally bombed out.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26There was nothing there so it was perfect for our needs.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29That's good news, isn't it(?)
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Every cloud!
0:16:31 > 0:16:34There were never even any bums down there at night,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36there was nothing down there.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39We were just young guys, and we were doing this show.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44And John Carpenter said, "OK, run down there about five blocks,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46"and get off camera.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48"We'll give you a walkie-talkie and tell you to come,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50"want to get a shot of you running down here."
0:16:50 > 0:16:54So I had that outfit on, and this was 1980,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58and I had this massive machinegun, and another gun on my hip,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00my eye patch on.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And going down there, I'm getting in the Snake mood.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09And Snake was a pretty bad boy, he didn't much care about anything.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12By the time I got down there, and turned to the corner,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I'm ready to go. And I turn the corner and there's four big guys
0:17:16 > 0:17:19coming round the corner from their side.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21They're coming, and they stopped.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22And they looked at me.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Because of the eye patch,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27I had this habit of turning my head to see what I was looking at.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31They saw this guy just eyeballing them.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33And there was that quarter of a second where
0:17:33 > 0:17:35something was going to go.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39They looked at me and went, "Easy, man, easy!"
0:17:41 > 0:17:43They all turned around and walked away.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I remember coming around the corner and told John,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47"I think this character's going to work!"
0:17:49 > 0:17:52APPLAUSE
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Now, you are the real deal. Growing up, you were the jock, Kurt,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59you were the sportsman, all of that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03But, I have to say, you are on the couch with Nerd Central.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- What?!- No... No.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Tina. You do a lot of material about growing up a nerd,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- but you really were a nerd. - Yeah. No, I really was.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- We've got photographic evidence. - There you go, this will prove it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21I would say that haircut was done by folding my face in half,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23and cutting out a heart.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27The worst haircut of all time.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- I look like the guy from Spinal Tap. - Who did it?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32My mum used to take me to a haircutting school
0:18:32 > 0:18:36because you could get literally a 2 haircut.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- You were the guinea pig! - The sign outside the school said,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42"London, Paris, Upper Derby."
0:18:47 > 0:18:50You've talked about your late blossoming,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- your sexual awakening. - Thank you for bringing that up.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I was wanting to make sure everyone knew.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I was a late starter.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Yeah, for sure, I probably didn't see a penis until I was at least 20,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04and that was probably a medical journal.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09So, to see a healthy penis, well into my late 20s.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14"Well, it's not...mottled.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15"It's fine."
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Oh?- Oh, oh, oh!
0:19:21 > 0:19:22It's still horrible-looking!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But then, this is so weird to be talking to someone about this,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30but you did...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- You did... - Look at my body language.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- You did develop physically quite early.- Again, thank you!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Yeah. You must have read this in Bossypants.- Yeah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I was wearing, cross my heart, that haircut and, like, a bra.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I remember my mom taking me to JC Penney,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53and trying a bra on over my clothes in the middle of JC Penney.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58And being like, "No! No, Mommy, no!"
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Like, there's no turning back.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- That was, like, ten.- Ten!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Literally, at the same time, 1980,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11the same time Kurt was scaring men in the streets of St Louis,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I was, like, now, smash, cut to a JC Penney in Philadelphia.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16"No, Mommy, no!"
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Josh, we don't need to look for nerdy pictures of you
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- because they're in the title sequence of your sitcom.- Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Here you are as a little, little boy. - Aw, come on!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31That was my Elton John phase.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36This next one, you are such a high achiever.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Here you are, look at that!
0:20:40 > 0:20:44What competition had you won second and third prize in?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I think it was worst shell suit, wasn't it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:54It was at the local village flower show for flower arranging.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56LAUGHTER
0:20:56 > 0:21:00That wasn't the answer I was expecting!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Was it a flower arrangement you did?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Yeah, I did the flower arrangement. - Two.- Two?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07You came second and third.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11I think the other one, there was a class which was
0:21:11 > 0:21:15best animal model made out of vegetables.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19And my dad cheated and did it himself.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20And still came third!
0:21:23 > 0:21:26And then we've got one more picture of you. Ah!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28That's good.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Like a young Martina Navratilova! - LAUGHTER
0:21:33 > 0:21:35APPLAUSE
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Now, listen. Tina Fey, geek no more.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Because, in your new movie, Sisters, you play the wild child.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I do. We're sisters who are opposites of each other
0:21:45 > 0:21:49in a lot of ways. And I opted to play the wrecking ball,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53this woman who's a single mum, she's a trashy hairdresser.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Because I never get to play stuff like that.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00And the nice thing about the movie, we play sisters, Amy and I,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04and my character is a wild woman who's trying to reform herself.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07So it's almost like, if I were in a film, or it's like,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09"I was the greatest ice skater of all time,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12"but now I'm in this wheelchair."
0:22:12 > 0:22:14You hear a lot about how hot I was, how many drugs I did,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16but I don't do any of if in the film.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Amy's character is the more uptight caregiver one.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20She's cutting loose over the film.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23That's better casting because she's the one you want to see
0:22:23 > 0:22:25go completely off the chain by the end of the film.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29It opens tomorrow, I'll have you know. And it is really, really funny.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Aw, thanks.- You and Amy, you are best friends or just good friends?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36We're very good friends. We live on opposite sides of the country now.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39So, the only time we get to hang out is when we work together.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42So that's the main reason we keep trying to do it.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45We've known each other for over 20 years.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46We met in Chicago, doing improv.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Amy likes to say that our friendship is as old as Lourdes Ciccone.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54As old as Madonna's daughter. I'd say it's as beautiful.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58So, we've done weird things.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01We've done jobs where we were touring sketch comedy in a van
0:23:01 > 0:23:03for 75 bucks a show.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And we've done Saturday Night Live. We used to do the fake news.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Then we've done the Golden Globes together.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10So we always have these weird gigs,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12but we always say yes so we can hang out.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15We've got a clip. This is you and your sister played by Amy Poehler,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- choosing your outfits for the party. - We try to go dress shopping.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25What do you think, Brayla?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27That looks amazing on you.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- I never met a Brayla before. - I know, like, three.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So you're trending. God bless.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39It's a lot of underteat, but I think I'm getting away with it.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Also, it's on backwards.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Is it?- Mm.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- How's it going in there? - I don't get this dress.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51One of my apples keeps rolling out of the bag.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I like the story it tells with the fringe.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- You're going to have to rock a thong with this.- No, I don't wear thongs.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I have a very fuzzy taint.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02You have to build up a callous. Right, Brayla?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04That looks amazing on you.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07APPLAUSE
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I want to ask Kurt...
0:24:10 > 0:24:11I'm getting worried now.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15..which movie has more use of the word "taint"?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17LAUGHTER
0:24:17 > 0:24:19The other thing about that clip that's funny is, in the movie,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23and this is really going to sell tickets, they digitally paint,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25in the movie, you see the bottom of my boobs
0:24:25 > 0:24:29but, for clip purposes, they've digitally painted a bra on me.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- That's so weird.- You really want to see my underteat.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36That's so weird you say that because I saw the clip and I thought,
0:24:36 > 0:24:37I don't remember the bra!
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- That's how sexy it is.- There we go. - Couldn't show it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Tina Fey, you've done all these extraordinary things.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Saturday Night Live, your sitcom 30 Rock and NBC.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51And yet, the thing that brought you so much attention
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- was the bizarre coincidence of you looking like someone.- Yes.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It was a weird thing, and it seems like a million years ago now.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- I guess it's eight years ago. - Is it that long ago already?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03That I just happen to look like this woman, Sarah Palin,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06who was a vice-presidential nominee.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- And I don't even look that much like her.- Oh, yes, you do!
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Yes, you do. We've got a picture of you dressed up as her.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14This is spectacular.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- You do look very like her. - It was the weirdest thing.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20It was a six-week window at the end of the last presidential election
0:25:20 > 0:25:24where it was this crazy storm of us doing sketches,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26being on the news all the time.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31- It seems so gentle and lovely now compared to...- Yeah, really!
0:25:31 > 0:25:34What's good news is you don't look like Donald Trump.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36That is good.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41The resemblance is so good - I know it's only Fox News -
0:25:41 > 0:25:44but even Fox News confused you.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46They ran a picture of me and thought it was her.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Really?- Yeah.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51LAUGHTER
0:25:51 > 0:25:52APPLAUSE
0:25:55 > 0:25:56That's amazing.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Have you kept in touch with her in any way? We have lunch every... No!
0:25:59 > 0:26:05We had a big 40th anniversary show of SNL, she came. I saw her there.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- What was she like?- She's lovely.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Your version of her was lovely to her.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- You were nice about that.- Thank you.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18- We tried to be fair.- You were fun and funny, but it wasn't nasty bad.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Thank you for saying so.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Amy Poehler was playing Hillary Clinton at the time,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26and we both were very aware we didn't want it to just be nasty.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- But it is weird when you play a real person.- Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- You've done it. - Had to do Elvis.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- A very famous person! - He was not alive.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35That is about as famous as it gets.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Elvis, that was what established you as...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I was going to say an adult movie star, but that makes it sound wrong!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Adult film worker!
0:26:45 > 0:26:49A movie star as an adult, that was your big break-out role, wasn't it?
0:26:49 > 0:26:50It really was.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55But the thing about it is, when you're playing the Coca Cola can,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57because everybody knows...
0:26:57 > 0:27:01You got that. At that time, Sarah Palin was really well-known.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Everybody knew what she looked like and sounded like.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06It's very difficult.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Because you get the parameters there.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10You cannot go outside of that or you start losing.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13But I only had to be two-dimensional.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15You had to portray this person as three-dimensional.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- But I had help with the screenplay and the story.- Sure.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20It had a lot going for it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22It's so odd that this thing crops up in your life
0:27:22 > 0:27:27- because one of your very first acting roles was with the real Elvis.- Yeah.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It was 1962, something like that, it was The World's Fair.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I was ten years old, and I got this job
0:27:32 > 0:27:35to play this kid that kicks Elvis in the shins.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- There you are, kicking Elvis in the shin.- Here I am, kicking away.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41He wants to meet a girl, a nurse.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44So he figures he gets this kid to injure him a little bit.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And I kind of hit him a little too hard.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48But he pays me 50 cents.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Later on, when she's with him, I run into him at the fair
0:27:51 > 0:27:54and I say, "Hey, mister, do you want me to kick you in the shin again?"
0:27:54 > 0:27:57He goes, "Get away."
0:27:57 > 0:27:59"You can do it for a quarter, I'll take a quarter."
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Was that the film?!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Wow! That's better than the monkey one!
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Did you get that it was Elvis, as a kid?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10No.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13It was my first brush with celebrity.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I'd never... I was just a kid, you know.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Was he nice to you?- Yeah, he was great. He was a really nice man.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21He came on the set in a car.
0:28:21 > 0:28:27You know, it was The World's Fair, it was just opening,
0:28:27 > 0:28:28so there were a lot of people.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And, all of a sudden, he came on the set.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35And maybe 2,000 or 3,000 women just jumped the car.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38He had to bail out and come in a different way.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I thought, "This guy must really be famous!"
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Josh Widdicombe, in your sitcom,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48you do get to meet your childhood showbiz heroes.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53- I do, yes. The Chuckle Brothers.- Yes.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54WHOOPING
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I tell you what, guys, there they are with me.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58My hair's not like that throughout the sitcom.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00That's not what happens if you straighten my hair.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03It does look really long.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- You probably don't know the Chuckle Brothers.- I don't.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08They're like the British version of you and Amy Poehler.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09That's what it looks like to me.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12The most well-respected people in British comedy.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15They are. They've got a catchphrase
0:29:15 > 0:29:18you might like to incorporate into your act?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- What is it? - If you say, "To me."
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Say it.- To me?- To you.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- To me.- To you. - To me.- To you.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29- To me.- To you.- To... To me.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31This is a dream I never thought would happen.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I really hope the Chuckle Brothers are watching this!
0:29:40 > 0:29:44This is the sitcom, Josh, it's on BBC Three on Wednesday nights at 10:30.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47If you haven't caught one yet, you can catch the last episode
0:29:47 > 0:29:53next Wednesday, or stay tuned because it's repeated after this very show.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- It's semi-autobiographical? - Semi-autobiographical.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01It's about when I was, three or four years ago, living in a flatshare.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06Kind of not doing very well in life and career.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09So, SEMI-autobiographical!
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Not content with having a sitcom, you are touring the land.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- I am touring the land, yes. - You look thrilled about it(!)
0:30:18 > 0:30:21That was at the start of the tour. Imagine how I feel now.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I'm going everywhere.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27I think I'm in Dorking as we speak.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Oh, OK, yeah, great.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Forgot about that part!
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I bet it's going really well!
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Honestly, Graham, best audience of the tour, can't believe it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Can't believe I got carried from the venue on their shoulders, amazing.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46You had a very bad gig, but this wasn't on the tour.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48No. A lot of my early gigs,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I'm sure you started on the same open-mic scene that I did.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53There were awful things like...
0:30:53 > 0:30:57I don't know what it was like when you started doing comedy in America,
0:30:57 > 0:30:58I once played to two people.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01I've done entire plays for two people.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- These two were on a first date. - LAUGHTER
0:31:04 > 0:31:07And, I tell you how well the date went.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09The second half, we played to one person!
0:31:10 > 0:31:12That's a bad gig.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15When were the farmers involved?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Oh. I once did a gig at a farmers' college.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24All right! Not all of us could work with Elvis at the age of ten!
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Some of us has to work our way up the hard way.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Are you drinking because my story's so sad?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Just wanted to know if you wanted to have that.- Thank you.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- You're very gentlemanly.- Oh, it's Coca Cola, I thought it was wine!
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Here you go, mate, you have that and I'll tell you about my shit life!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43LAUGHTER
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Let's get going on this thing now.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47APPLAUSE
0:31:49 > 0:31:51So, farmers' college, farmers' college?
0:31:51 > 0:31:56So, it was to more people this time, about 300...pricks.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02I was booked to do 20, I had to leave the stage after 6 minutes...
0:32:02 > 0:32:04because I refused to down a pint.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07They stopped the gig so that I had to down a pint.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10I got off, and it was revealed to me that it was a pint of piss.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12AUDIENCE GASPS
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- Wow. - You had a problem with that?!
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Didn't you want to entertain the people?!
0:32:19 > 0:32:21What, and leave showbusiness?
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I wonder if there's a stand-up comic watching this, going, "I drank that."
0:32:28 > 0:32:31It happens every year!
0:32:31 > 0:32:33We've got a clip from Josh.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- This is you with your landlord, played by Jack Dee.- Jack Dee.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40In this clip, he's teaching you how to swim.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42This is the butterfly stroke.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47So called because it mirrors the graceful flap of the butterfly wing.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49HE PANTS EXAGGERATEDLY
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Really?
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Over a short distance, it's actually faster than front crawl.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- So, once again.- I'm just going to use this opportunity for a picture.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04So, it's arms, legs, breathing out.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Breathing out. Breathing out. - HE EXHALES RHYTHMICALLY
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Have you got that?- I've got it. - Can you remember it all?- Definitely.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Are you sure?- Yep. - Reckon you can do it?- Yep.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Wrong. Butterfly is actually the hardest stroke,
0:33:15 > 0:33:19it's way beyond your capabilities, Josh, avoid at all costs.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20APPLAUSE
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Right, it's time for our musical guest tonight.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30This multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter

0:37:31 > 0:37:33You come with me, my dear.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- OK. There's a step, there's a step. - Got it. Got it.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- We walk. Step, step.- Oh, my gosh, my mic just fell out of my underpants!
0:37:40 > 0:37:42LAUGHTER
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- We can hold it together. - There you go.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49She's walking. We'll go round the back of the couch. There's a step.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- No. Step, step. And walk around here. - Yep, yep.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- OK. I'll pop you down here at the end.- OK. Beauty.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- The man next to you is Kurt Russell. - Hi, Kurt!
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Hi, how are you? - Good, how are you?

0:38:10 > 0:38:13- We met briefly at SNL 40. - I remember. I saw your face.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- The other male voice is Josh.- Hello.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Hi, Josh, you sounded funny, I caught a bit of you on the way in.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Do you want your drink? - Oh, thank you.- There you go.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- OK.- It is a non-alcoholic beverage, isn't it?- I don't know.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28It's not piss.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29It's a pint of piss(!)
0:38:31 > 0:38:33We all went in it while you were singing(!)
0:38:33 > 0:38:35LAUGHTER
0:38:35 > 0:38:38That's what we call a freelapse.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41I don't want to miss this. I'm going to get a good look at this.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Yeah, it's water.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- You're really great, obviously quite brilliant.- Thank you.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48If you keep this going for about ten years and just live your life.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- Wouldn't that be cool if that worked?- Yeah, nobody knows.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Does anybody else feel like a spare part?
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Kurt, last time Sia was here, her back was to the camera.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Yeah.- So, baby steps, you're now facing the right direction.- Yeah.
0:39:06 > 0:39:12The track we just heard, Alive, is on the new album called This Is Acting.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Thank you for talking about it.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16That's not you, though, in prosthetics?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19That's not prosthetics, that's some digital work and some sticky tape.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23I took my shoulders out, and I made my neck longer,
0:39:23 > 0:39:27I changed the shape of my eyes and sticky-taped my nose.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29OK!
0:39:29 > 0:39:33What a lovely Christmas card... it's turned into!
0:39:35 > 0:39:37GRAHAM LAUGHS
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- That album is not out until the 29th of January.- Yeah, I know.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- I'm slogging away early. - Do it, do it.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Sell it. Pre-order for Christmas.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Are you...? Bored of asking, but it is interesting,
0:39:49 > 0:39:54because 25 just came out, you did co-write this song with Adele.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Yes.- Yeah.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE Yeah. Sia. Adele. Julia.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04You've written the songs the artists sing.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06And they're big anthems, all of them.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11- So, can you ever tour an album? - Yeah, you just do it down.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Actually, Adele gave me a top tip,
0:40:12 > 0:40:15she was like, "Whenever you can't hit the high note,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17"you just like, 'la-la-la...' "
0:40:20 > 0:40:23APPLAUSE
0:40:25 > 0:40:29I was like, there's a reason she has 80 million!
0:40:29 > 0:40:31And the rest.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33And counting.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Before we go, just time for a visit to the Big Red Chair.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Who's there?
0:40:39 > 0:40:40- Hello.- Hello!
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- What's your name?- I'm Joe.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Good. And where are you from, Joe?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I'm from Stoke Gifford in Bristol.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Oh? Nothing!
0:40:48 > 0:40:50And, do you have a job at Stoke Gifford?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Yes, I'm an architect.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55An architect. He's an architect, ladies and gentlemen!
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- AUDIENCE:- Ooh. - He's passed an exam.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- He has his architect shirt on. - Yeah. Really, yeah. Just seeing...
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Joe, off you go with your story.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10OK, so, growing up, I loved Big Trouble In Little China.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12And, in my early teens,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15I had a VHS recording of it that I watched repeatedly.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20One of the scenes features Kurt Russell...
0:41:20 > 0:41:22You touch that lever, I'm going to punch you!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24LAUGHTER
0:41:26 > 0:41:29It features Kurt Russell and chums running away from their foes
0:41:29 > 0:41:32through a watery tunnel.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37Part of this features a zoom-in on a lady's...
0:41:37 > 0:41:39KURT SNORES
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Oh, I'm sorry.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Hit the lever, hit the lever.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I will talk to him later.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48I sensed that was coming.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I just thought, OK, you want to hear it.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52KURT PROTESTS
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Trust me, you don't.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- OK. Who's up next? Hello?- Hello, how are you?- I'm very well.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- You seem nervous?- I am very nervous,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I'm hanging on for dear life.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Don't be nervous. Nothing... Well, the chair may flip,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10but that's the only bad thing.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- What's your name?- It's Rosanna. - And what do you do?
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- I work in the travel industry. - The travel industry? As a...?
0:42:16 > 0:42:20I work for a hotel wholesaler, providing rooms to travel agencies.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Oh, wow, I've glazed over!
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Graham.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31So... Off you go with your story.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34I was travelling with two of my friends, and we were in Macao.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38On a night out, and my friend suddenly got a really dodgy tummy.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40So, he left early.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44About 6:45am, I was headed back to the hotel
