STANDING UP, HE IS HUGE.

>> Stephen: A VERY BIG GOI.

>> HE IS WATCHING A MOVIE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE TONE OF THE MESSAGE, YES, HE SEEMED FRIENDLY

AND FUNNY BUT THERE IS SOME FEAR IN THAT, LIKE ARE YOU?

>> Stephen: HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS IS YOU.

>> THERE IS A PATTON SHAPED NINJA FOR SOME REASON.

SO I EITHER HAD SOME REALLY BAD SCRAMBLED EGGS AND I'M

HALLUCINATING OR SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

YOU WANT TO SET UP WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

>> YEAH, I TWEETED THIS OUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

WE HAVE BEEN, I HAVE BEEN READING H.E.R. THE HARRY POTTER

BOOKS SINCE SHE WAS FIVE OR SIX.

AND WE, AND THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS, WE WERE READING NUMBER

SEVEN, THE DEATHLY HALLOWS AND WE WERE GETTING NEAR THE END AND

MY WIFE, MEREDITH CAME IN AND JUST RANDOMLY STARTED FILMING US

AS WE ARE SITTING THERE READING AND THEN FILMED THE MOMENT WHEN

I FINISHED ALL THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS WITH ALLAH.

BUT THIS IS IT.

>> DID YOU VUSES FINISHED BECOME.

THOSE LITTLE THINGS RIGHT THERE.

BECAUSE THERE IS THE HOBBIT, WHICH IS--

(LAUGHTER).

>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.

>> WAIT A MINUTE.

>> Stephen: DON'T TRY TO SCHOOL ME ON THE THINGS THAT I

LIKE ABOUT THE HOBBIT, RIGHT HERE, OKAY, I'M NOT GOING TO

STEP INTO MARVEL WORLD OR STAR WARS.

DON'T COME INTO THE LORD OF THE RINGS OVER HERE.

>> WE ALL SAW WHAT YOU DID TO JAMES FRANCO, WE ALL REMEMBER

THAT BRUTAL BEATDOWN WHEN HE QUIZZED YOU ON THE SUMERELIAN,

THAT WAS PRETTY BRUTAL, I'M NOT DOING THAT, BUT SKIP THE HOBBIT.

>> Stephen: I READ LORD OF THE RINGS MULTIPLE TIME BEFORE I

READ THE HOBBIT.

THEN I READ IT AND I GET WHAT THEY ARE REFERRING TO HERE, BUT

IT DOESN'T HAVE THE HIGH STYLE AND LANGUAGE.

I DON'T THINK IT IS AS GOOD FOR LORD OF THE RINGS.

>> BUT FOR A TEN YEAR OLD.

>> Stephen: SHE'S READY, SHE'S PATTON OSWALT DAUGHTER, IF SHE

WAS SIX, I WOULD SAY READ THE HOBBIT, THAT IS FINE.

BUT SHE'S READY, MAN.

>> I'M JUST, I'M LIKE, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS HER AGE, WHEN I WAS

TEN AND THIS IS DUE TO THAT REALLY BENIGN PARENTAL NEGLECT

IN THE '70S, BECAUSE MY PARENTS WERE GREAT PARENTS BUT THEY WERE

LIKE OH, THIS IS-- ST A KILLER DOG, KCUJO, ENJOY.

I SWEAR TO GOD, I READ, I READ THE STAND WHEN I WAS TEN, I

READ-- .

>> Stephen: WOW.

>> EXACTLY.

>> Stephen: YOU HAVE SLEPT YET?

>> IT WAS A VERY, IT IS A VERY WEIRD WAY TO READ BEFORE YOU GO

THROUGH PUBERTY.

LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

IT FEELS VERY STRANGE.

AND I CAN'T READ HER CUJO WELL, AND THEN THE KID DIED AND THE

MOM WENT CRAZY, OKAY, GOOD NIGHT.

THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO FINISH.

BUT MAYBE I COULD EVENTUALLY.

AND SHE, BY THE WAY, SHE SEES ALL THE STEPHEN KING BOOKS ON

THE SHELF, I WANT TO READ SOME OF THOSE, NO, YOU CAN'T READ

THOSE YET.

>> NO, NOT YET.

>> Stephen: I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE IN FAVOR OF CENSORING

THINGS.

>> OH, STEPHEN, FOR GOD'S SAKE, I'M NOT GOING TO READ HER THE

SHINING AND READ HER A LOVE SCENE IN A HAUNTED HOTEL.

I'M NOT GOING TO-- .

>> Stephen: I'M MERELY [BLEEP] WITH YOU.

>> OKAY.

I GOT VERY DEFENSIVE.

>> Stephen: I UNDER STAND THAT YOU CANNOT WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO

ATTACK ME OVER THE HOBBIT.

THAT IS GOING TO BE INSANE.

>> I AM JUST SAYING THAT-- .

>> Stephen: I'M NOT SURE IF THAT IS GOING TO MAKE IT TO AIR.

>> OH, REALLY.

WOW.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE SO INTO CENSORING THINGS.
