You know the way, Um, normally, they'd be some applause for you.

Sure.

Come now.

There's just nothing.

I'm kind of used to it.

People like you and I are similar in that we both the times that you and I have gotten together and, like, had dinner.

We're both doing bits the whole time.

Yeah, people like us who have to be quarantined.

Yeah, I'm performing for, like, pillows.

Yeah.

I feel like I've trained my mind and body to be quarantined my whole life.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

So it's finally paying off.

So you're saying you were socially distance saying, Since when?

What?

My whole life.

Well, you know, this virus is gone.

This to be socially distant.

I'm actually waiting for the virus that caused us to be emotionally distance.

I think I caught it a long time ago.

You got that around like, nine years old.

You think I was like that, and he just gave it to me.

Oh, have you guys been fate going on?

You know, whatever face timing.

Well, you know who knew what Zoom was until this started?

Right?

Did you Did you see that video that went viral about, um no pun intended that this woman was unlike a meeting of Zoom meeting with Oliver co workers, and she took the But I've heard about it.

Tell me what it was like.

You know, there's, like, 50 windows open, and she literally just takes her laptop and walks all the way to the bathroom, pulls her pants down and goes to the bathroom.

And first of all, it's so many things to break that.

Let's break that down one.

I'm bringing a laptop in the bathroom at any point.

Your life?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know why you're doing it during an office meeting.

Good Lake.

And then?

And then it's really left up that her that somebody recorded it and then posted it.

Oh, my God, Yeah, There's so many things wrong with that.

The Tiger King makes more sense than that thing you were doing.

I know.

I was, uh, the way everyone's enjoying Tiger King right now.

How could you not?

Did you watch the whole thing?

I haven't watched the whole thing yet.

I'm about halfway through.

I love it is astonishing.

It's that finishing that look just like this, it's still not as good as someone taking your laptop.

There's a rumor going around the business, the show business that you face time with Oprah and Maria Shriver.

Is that true?

Yeah.

Maria Shriver started this one thing where she just calls people like around six o'clock friends.

And she's like, Let's let's do face time and I'll bring a fun guest.

Surprised on guest on my great call me.

And so it was just me, Scotty and Maria.

No problem.

We just had a really good time.

And then did I lose you?

Yeah, done here.

And then what?

Well, we chatted about the current events.

And, um, it was fun.

I mean, but what Oprah joins you Oprah joint.

That's in state.

That's that's not something that most people can relate.

Thio.

Well, well, me and you are talking right now.

Why wouldn't overnight be talking or Oprah?

And you?

You're right.

You know, I'm saying for a second, I forgot my so Conan I Oh, Sean, I had no idea.

Sorry.

Realize it was you.

I took my offer clarity.

And you put yours on.

Yeah.

Um I, uh Yeah, I'm gonna pretend that that would be no big deal for me to talk to Oprah.

Well, of course you're like, Oh, my gosh, Maria, Why didn't tell me it was Oprah and then and then?

But then you talk to open for five minutes.

You realize Oprah's Oprah because she's completely of the earth?

Yeah, like she's grounded and regular and on and easy going and smart and all these things that she emits.

There's a, uh I was in the news that she's quarantined Steadman.

Is that right?

As Steadman in quarantine, I think the story is that she quarantined Steadman, But starting six years ago, that's what I heard this story is that Steadman was traveling, I think.

And, you know, Oprah had just gotten over from being sick and snow, and she was very scared, so Yeah, OK, don't worry.

None of that's going in.

Okay.

You're home all day.

Yeah.

With on you were in a similar situation, which is I'm home with Liza.

You're home with Scotty, and I'm gonna be honest.

I'll speak first.

We're doing pretty well.

We're doing pretty well being together.

But there are moments where I can tell I'm driving her crazy.

Are you getting along?

Oh, I'm for sure.

Driving him crazy.

Yeah.

No, I Yeah.

I mean, you know, we turned one of our bedrooms into a gym, so we could, you know, work out.

Wouldn't like Jim here, and it's above us right now, but you can't hear it.

And so right now he's actually working out, and it's it drives me bananas, right?

He jumps up and down these running around it feels like an earthquake, and the whole thing's gonna fall in, and it's for, like, a really long time.

But why is he running around?

I You've got the weights and the yoga ball.

That's all you need.

Tell Scotty to stop running around it.

Sounds like he's There's a fire or something.

I got a room room.

You get a warrant?

You're like old people in New York.

No, but I've met Scotty.

I know Scottie.

He seems like it could be very easy to get along with.

And then he'd be sort of.

I mean, he's a guy.

That what?

He'd probably just be happy watching a movie, Right?

Let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something right now.

You're right.

Scottie is the easiest going guy.

Everybody loves him.

I would say when the time comes.

Hopefully not for many, many, many years.

When he ends up in a nursing home, he's gonna the easiest person take care of because he loves movies.

He just could watch movies all day long.

You just walking in the nursing room, you put on Star Wars and I leave, and that's all it's gonna take care of.

I wish I was kidding.

Like literally watch this, Scotty.

It's the force awakens, and then you're good for, like, three hours, right?

And then you go off you go in and out Burger and you have a good time.

Well, I live my life.

You like when my time comes and I'm elderly.

My family knows to put on my show's beginning in 1993 and just let them roll, and I'll sit there and I'll say, I don't know how he did it.

Uh huh.

And when did they start that this'd soon.

Very soon.

Very soon.

Okay, that's what we're about about about three months away from that.

Because I don't know if you want this out there, but that's kind of when I was at your house, we did that.

And I was like, It's just really uncomfortable.

You've revealed something a little uncomfortable for me, but I might as well.

We're all being honest now during this time of national crisis.

So, yes, What Shawn has just revealed is that when guests come to my home, you're given a drink.

Your scored into a large room where my shows since 1993 are running are already running right already start.

Let me ask you about Lazy Susan because I love this.

This is you playing a woman?

Yeah.

So I am.

When I was 21 years old, I was living in Chicago.

I grew up in Chicago and I got a call from my agent saying You have an audition tomorrow to replace the white guy on in living color.

And I was like, Wait, Jim Carey is leaving the show and she said, Yeah, and so I went with my, uh, bag of like wigs, accents and characters and all these things that I worked on.

And, uh and one of the characters was this this this girl, this woman, Susan, and, um and I'm still waiting to hear if I got part, But, um, then we cut to like decades later, a friend of mine was like, You know what?

You should do something with.

That character was so funny, and you should go lazy.

Susan and I was like, I love that title on like a light bulb went off.

And I thought, What a wonderful kind of built in thematic reason to talk, you know, to portray a person who's spinning out of control like a lazy Susan who can't figure out their life.

And so and then I am top of it.

I was like, I've never seen I.

A problem might be out there.

But I've ever seen a film where a man plays a woman without any lake.

Other kind of underlying pretext, you know, to to think where the comedy comes from the character Not the fact that a man is pointing.

Woman we have.

Ah, Still, But you are.

You are quite convincing.

Do you like yourself as Susan?

Do you like yourself as a woman?

I like I personally for me.

I do not enjoy dressing up as a woman not to judge those who do.

Um, thank you.

What things?

They're really rough over there with you and Liza.

They're actually better than ever.

I'm I'm getting to be the real me at long last searcher, Um, we have a clip here from Lazy Susan.

I don't even know if you know about at this clip.

I don't know why.

I think I may know.

Am I gonna watch you play?

Put it in after we don't.

We put it in afterwards.

Yeah.

In fact, we're gonna replace you with another actor.

You're gonna be played by Richard Kind.

Okay.

Again, again, huh?

I'm Susan.

Did you get me?

Oh, yes, sweetie.

I got you.

Uh, here's some headbands.

Awesome.

Uh, and some Krazy Glue go crazy.

Yeah, we better get going for the meat.

Gets ate up, going to the hospital again for me.

What I wouldn't give to have that recipe.

Maybe you even feel could meet us.

There is no Phil.

People don't call me people.

I told you, I hate that at the word out.

Lazy Susan's gonna be available on video on demand everywhere April 3rd.

There is no better time right now than for good streaming content.

I mean, this is actually, you know, it's I'm watching a ton of great stuff just because that's what you do now we are We're all home.

And so I'm grateful toe people like you that have made good new stuff that I can watch.

Well, thank you, my dear.

Yeah, I'm really excited about it.

Really proud about it, and and I'll be watching all your movies.

Okay, That's a blob there.

Look, I never tried.

I tried for one to make it in film, but it just didn't pop for me, that's all.

Well, I'm sorry I didn't succeed.

Incredibly, I don't know.

I've never been in a movie, and I've always thought I would look horrible on a movie screen.
