He left a three-week-old baby to be here.

So thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

It's actually kind of rough to do that.

It's only three nights away from home, but.

There is an upside to it, which is I can finally

complain about how tired I am.

When I'm home, if I even just let the words,

like, oh, man, I'm tired, my wife just gives me this like--

this look that says I wake up every 20 minutes to breastfeed.

How dare you, sir.

Yeah.

So now I get to be on TV talking about how tired I am.

And I got like six hours of sleep last night.

Oh you poor thing. which is luxurious.

Yeah, it's great.

Thank you for being here because we've

been asking for you to be on.

I'm a huge fan.

So you've been acting since five?

So is Macaulay older or younger than you?

He's two years older, and we kind of started

at the same time, I think.

Look at you two.

Oh, wow.

So it's a big family, right?

So how many siblings do you have?

There are seven of us.

Seven?

And at some point, all of us tried the acting bit.

Now it's pretty much just me and Rory.

Mac does some stuff sometimes, too.

Right.

So does that make you-- and this is your first child, right?

Yeah.

OK.

Yeah, and my mom's first grandchild.

And actually, the grandmas are in town visiting

their first grandchild.

And there's sort of this like unspoken competition going on

about which one is more insane.

[LAUGHTER]

My mom clucks like a chicken.

That's kind of just how she talks.

She's like, "Wait, what, let's, go, down, town, Nikki."

[CLUCKS LIKE CHICKEN]

And then my wife's mother, I call

her the "interrupting goose" because she doesn't

listen to a word that I say.

If I start talking, it goes like this.

I'll be like, "I'm thinking for lunch, we can go to--"

[SQUAWKS]

And I think she thinks she's saying "huh" or "what,"

but I'm like, "If you could just let

me get to the end of my sentence--" [SQUAWKS]

[LAUGHTER]

She's nuts.

She doesn't listen to a word I say.

I'll be in the middle of a story.

I love that she--

I love the idea of her watching this on TV

right now, me roasting her.

I'll be in the middle of a story,

and I'm just about to get to the punch line,

and she'll be like, "Look, that's my friend, Linda."

[LAUGHTER]

Like, "Uh-huh?"

"This is her apartment."

"Wait, does this have to do with my story?

Because I was--" [SQUAWKS]

Listen, if you want to stay longer it sounds like you can.

Yeah, I might stretch this out for a week until they're--

Maybe you want to stay until they both leave.

The crazy bird ladies get out of the house, yeah.

[SQUAWKS]

[SQUAWKS]

[SQUAWKS]

I wanted to talk to you forever because I just am a huge fan,

and your character and--

First of all, I have to ask, is it all scripted or did they

let you just play with things?

It's scripted, and it's very, very well-written.

So they don't have to let us play around.

But they do, they let us just like mess about a bit.

Sometimes like my wife will be like, "That sounds like you.

Was that your line?"

I'm like, "I don't know anymore."

Right.

The line is blurred between Kieran and Roman

sometimes that like, I have to shut this piece of my brain

off that's going to insult somebody.

Because Roman, he has no filter.

No, not at all.

And I wonder why Roman gets away with that.

Because you've only been slapped once by your father.

In the show, yeah.

Which was really like--

it broke my heart because it showed how small you are.

Roman just was crushed by that.

Yeah.

I'm talking like everybody knows the show,

because everyone should.

But explain what the show is.

So it's about a family--

very rich family.

The father's self-made and he's run billion dollar industries.

He's a media mogul.

And basically, he's at an age he's probably going to retire,

in which one of his kids is maybe going to take over,

who's going to be in line.

And as you watch the show, you find that none of his kids

are equipped to.

No.

Particularly this guy, who just runs his mouth

and has no idea how to do his job.

Yes.

That's who that character is.

The show is so good.

It's so fascinating, and especially

after Sunday night's episode.

I don't know where it's going, but it's frightening and good.

I didn't see it yet.

Yeah.

I saw it this morning and I watched it

while I was working out because I knew you were on.

Because I missed it Sunday night.

Oh, it's so good.

Thank you so much.

You're fantastic.

I love the show.

And stay as long as you want so you

don't have to go back to the--

The crazy bird ladies.

The season finale of Succession--

oh, it's the season finale?

Sunday at 9:00.

Of course it is.

Yes, it's going to be--

OK, it's at 9:00 on HBO.

We'll be right back.
