When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.
This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
But that's all about to change.
Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.
I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second the th.. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the the th. th. th. thi-S. the, the, thi-S. thi-S. thea-Sepepea-Sepe-Sepnipe, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th.

Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get
your podcasts. Everyone's like, oh, succession is the greatest thing and like now
there's like, oh, season episode tour, and I don't know, part of me wants to
watch it, but then at the same time part part of me feels like, I don't want to get into a show unless I can binge it.
And now it got me thinking about like, if binging is a thing that's healthy or not, because
on the one hand, I feel like you should only binge shows, because I just want to know,
because I just want to know thi.
Like, I'm tiiiii. You know what I mean? Like why did we even do that before? The only reason we did that was for ads and stuff, right?
It was like, who killed him?
I won't tell you who killed him, because now we have to sell some toilet paper.
That's like the only reason, and then we stream now so we don't need it.
But then at the same time, I sometimes wonder if it's unhealthy to things because it came out weekly. I think if a show is complicated they should let you binge it and if a show is simple we can do weekly. How about that?
We just make that the new model. Yeah? This show comes out daily because it's
complicated but it's simple.
Ha ha ha! Coming to you from the heart of Times Square, the most important place on earth.
It's the Daily Show, Ears edition. Tonight, tragedy on set, meet the Senate's newest roadblood, and Anna Kendrick.
This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the
Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah and my good man Ronnie Chang is joining me today on the show. What's like... Hey, what's up, Trevor? What's going on, man? Good to sleep. You...
Good to see her. Thanks for inviting me back in, finally. I mean, damn, it's like, it's like that
restraining order you had on me finally expired or something my shelf? No, no, I'm good man. I'm good here.
Yeah, I'm not good. Okay, so what do you want me to do? What do you want to do now?
Well, sit in the chair? We do the thing together, we do the show. Now you've knocked the books on the floor. I don't know, it it it, it, it, it, it, it, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, tho, th. tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, I'm, I'm, I, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm th. No, I'm. I don't feel like I'm part of it. But you're talking to me, right?
Yeah, I know, but over there, it's just more connect.
All right, okay.
Yeah, but it's like you're behind me.
Then when I talked to you, like, do this.
thrown, thi.
tho. pick those up afterwards but I mean it's good to have you though yeah I appreciate me you ready for some headlines yeah yeah let's do it all right
let's do it all right our first story is about medical equipment
that that wasn't me
all right our first story is about medical equipment that's the stuff doctors
are always losing in your body after surgery now when you go to the doctor's off.
Now when you go to the doctor doctors are always losing in your body after surgery.
Now, when you go to the doctor's office, it's important for everything to be sanitary,
right, which is why they removed the popsicle before they put that stick in your mouth.
But it turns out, tens of millions,
tens of millions of medical gloves that were imported into and then repackaged as new ones. And apparently, they didn't even do a very good job.
These are bags of discarded medical gloves,
many filthy, dirty, confiscated by the Thai Food and Drug Administration in December.
These were reused gloves.
They were washed, recycled.
We don't know what they were, where they came from.
Some of them were dirty, some of them had blood stains.
This one is completely brown, discolored. This is nitrile, but you can tell it's been through a washer and a dryer,
and it's changed color due to the heat.
This is crazy, right?
I mean, when I first saw this, I was like,
yo, I bet this is how the pandemic started.
If I got a secret lab in Wuhan, it was probably meant to be reused. They're meant to be thrown into a trash bag, which is then thrown into the ocean, which is then swallowed by a whale.
That's the right way to do it.
This is infuriating. I mean, I know the world is changing at a rapid pace and there's so much uncertainty.
But the one thing, the one thing I thought I could always rely on. The one thing I need to rely on is that when a doctor sticks a glove finger in my butt, that glove is losing its virginity. Medical gloves should never
be filthy. The only thing in a doctor's office that should be filthy is that toy cube
in the pediatrician's waiting room. Have you seen that thing? Every kid touches it? That
thing is Ebola waiting to happen. dirty gloves, don't go through all the trouble of washing and drying them.
You know, just do what hotels do and put a chocolate mint on the box.
Yeah, and then we will be like, oh, there's a mint.
It means it must be clean.
Actually, Trevor, as someone who plays a doctor on there, doctors, you're using too many gloves.
All right, we don't need that many gloves.
You don't need a new glove for every hole.
All right?
All right, all these gloves end up in the ocean, like you said.
These guys, the ties, they're just being environmentalists.
It's good for the environment, all thrown. Look, all I'm I'm saying I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying each thing. It's sanitary. Look, all I'm saying is that right now, it's either baby whales choking to death or getting
HPV sometimes.
Those are your options.
I don't think it's only two options.
Okay, well, hey, I didn't make the world.
Okay, so which one you want? You want baby dolphins to die or do you want, maybe you might sometimes, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, the the the the the the th.. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. theaugh, th. toea, th th th tooooom. tooom. tooomorrow, tooomorrow, tooomorrow, toe. toe. one you want? You want baby dolphins to die or do you want... Maybe you might sometimes get something from your doctor's gloves.
Yeah, now you've got me because if I say I want the baby dolphins to die now I'm an asshole.
Yeah, that's the secret of America, your asshole either way.
All right, well, for our next story, let's do what my haters and my grandmother are always telling me to do and go back to Africa.
It's amazing how hate and love overlap.
A new study out of Mozambique has found that elephants in one park have been evolving to lose their tusks.
Yeah, in fact, in the year 2000, there were three times as many tuskless female elephants as they were just 30 years earlier. I mean, which makes sense. Elephants don't need
tusks anymore. We have can openers now.
But that's actually not the reason for this rapid evolution.
It's thought to be the result of ivory poaching that started there in the late 70s.
Researchers say a very small portion of female elephants are born
without tusks, tuskless females are more likely tusks naturally. But now that small portion is getting a little bigger
because tuskless females are more likely to survive.
Yeah, believe it or not, these elephants, like most females,
are just trying to avoid Don Jr.
For being able to avoid poachers is great news for elephants.
I mean, except for the elephants who just graduated from dental school.
I mean, there goes their future. But honestly, if other animals want to survive,
maybe they could learn from the elephants.
Turtles should evolve to eat plastic.
Fish, they should evolve to also eat plastic.
Pretty much if you're an animal,
you should evolve to eat plastic.
Yeah, because I'm sorry guys, we're not using paper straws.
I think we've just decided as humans. Yeah, you know what? Elephants, I get great
move here. What took you so long? Decades of this. What do you think was going to happen?
If you're an animal with money growing out of your face? What are you guys going to happen next?
Yo, if I walked around Times Square with Bitcoin growing on my ass, dude, I have a poacher problem too, all right?
So just saying, you know, it's not money though.
It's not money.
Yeah, that stuff is what, I don't know.
No, I'm saying Bitcoin, it's not money.
Oh, money?
Well, whatever is people want it, people want it,
you've got something people want to growing out of your body. Yeah, Ronnie, it's it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, it's not, it's not, it's, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it. It's, it, it. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's not, th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thi. thi. thi. It's not not, it's not, it's not, but it's like, it's, it's not even like a real thing.
People who want it, like, wanted for like a fake thing.
What are you talking about?
A Bitcoin or ivory?
No, ivory.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know what people use ivory for.
I mean, you're from,, we have the ivory and then... Okay, oh sure, so nobody wants ivory then. My bad, nobody wants this shit. People just killing
elephants and taking the toss and throwing it away. No, because in other regions
of the world, I don't want to say which regions, because then we're gonna get into
a fight. I'm just saying in other regions of the world. ivory, not you, I shouldn't have said you. No, no, that's you guys. No, we have the ivory. No, I, well I'm not using the ivory.
Well I'm not making the ivory. I'm just saying we have elephants. Okay, well
somebody is shooting elephants and using the ivory and it's not us. And you're telling me it's not you guys.
No. Well then there shouldn't be a problem then. Okay, well I'm glad we solved this thing.
Yeah, I'm glad to.
Wait, where did you get a glove?
Oh, this thing?
Oh, yeah, I was just going to be a good friend and, you know, just maybe check you for
any problems you might have?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's all good, man. I play a doctor on TV. Just say the word woman of Z. I'm right in the studio with a blood...
No, no, no, don't worry. This is, I, uh, I, I got it from some guy to Amazon.
It's clean. He said it was clean. Yeah, no, no, you need to leave with that.
That's like a health hazard. Yeah, you know what it's a bigger health hazard. the health hazard. the health hazard. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. the the tha. tha. tha. the tha. the the tha. the thihea. the thi. the thi. the thoomerea. the tho. the the thoomerea. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo posture at your age. Not checking your posture at your age.
That's a bigger health hazard.
Okay, what do you want?
Do you want cancer in your butt or do you want maybe HPV?
Because those are your options at this point.
Okay, I didn't make the world, I just try to live in it.
Just say the word.
Okay, well, cool. Thank you so much. All right, that's enough for the headlines. Let's jump into our main story.
Over the weekend, people all over the globe were sharing a story that was not only shocking, but also heartbreaking.
There was shock and disbelief tonight after actor Alec Baldwin was involved in a fatal and apparent accidental shooting of a woman on a New Mexico movie set.
Alec Baldwin seen in Anguish Thursday after firing a prop gun on the set of Rust, an independent Western,
killing cinematographer Helena Hutchins and injuring director Joel Sousa.
According to a search warrant released late Friday night, another crew member grabbed a prop gun off a cart,
handed it to Baldwin and yelled, cold gun, apparently unaware it was loaded with live rounds.
A safety bulletin for the industry says live ammunition is never to be used, except for the very rare occasion, which did not appear to be the case for the movie rust.
So if indeed it was a live round, where did that live round come from? How did it get into the gun?
Now the nation is asking, how could something like this happen?
Today investigators are trying to determine how in the world a prop gun, which is supposed
to be loaded with blanks, killed one person and injured another.
Okay, maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't get this.
Like, why do they need to use real guns to make a fake thing? Because Hollywood movies love using the fake version of real things for everything except
guns.
Like in Hollywood they've got fake tigers, they got fake houses, they've got fake diversity
and inclusion initiatives.
But then when it comes to deadly weapons, suddenly they're like, let's get a real gun,
and see what happens.
Yeah, you know, switch things up. It makes no sense to me. Live gunfire is something that should have been phased out of movies a long time ago, like Blackface.
But I guess Hollywood has a history of moving slowly on innovation. I mean, shit, it was only a few years ago that they found out that women could be over 33.
And what makes this story even worse is that usually there are a lot of safety measures in place to make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen.
But it sounds like this movie set didn't take safety that seriously.
NBC News has learned safety concerns, including multiple previous misfires of the same prop
gun Baldwin used, led several crew members to walk off the set hours before the accident.
And the LA Times says a crew member recently texted the unit production manager warning
quote, we've now had three accidental discharges.
This is super unsafe.
24-year-old Hannah Gutierrez Reed was in charge of weapons on the set in New Mexico.
She recently discussed her experience on a podcast.
By all means, I'm still learning.
I think loading blanks was like the scariest thing to me
because I was like, oh, I don't know anything about it.
Okay, that?
That is not something you ever want to hear from a person in charge of your guns.
And it's also a good reminder to never go on the ominous foreshadowing podcast with Zach and Kyle.
I mean, this gun misfireed multiple times times times this gun misfired multiple times and still was allowed on set? How is that
possible? Like was this gun's dad the producer? Now reportedly one of the
reasons that this might have happened is because the production didn't
want to spend the money on firearm safety experts and guys look man
if you don't have the budget to pay for gun safety for
your gun movie, then maybe you shouldn't be making a gun movie. Make a different movie.
Like I don't know, a cooking movie. Or maybe a movie about how two people aren't really
meant for each other, but actually yeah. Just do one more of those. Because it is absolutely
unnecessary for anybody to lose their life for a pretend thing.
But I guess some Hollywood productions don't feel that way because this isn't even the
first time that this has happened.
Tragedy has struck before on a set of a prop gun.
In 1993, Brandon Lee, son of the martial arts icon, Bruce Lee, was killed at the age of 28, who's on the set of the film, Crow. That was after an improperly loaded Smith and Wesson fired while filming.
And back in 1984, on the set of the TV series, Cover-Up,
the actor John Eric Hexham died from an accidental, self-inflicted prop gunshot.
He was just 24 years old.
Yeah, you see, it's happened before.
It's like every few years, someone on a movie set gets shot for real by a pretend gun.
And maybe this is a controversial take, but I don't think movie things should kill real people.
Even once in a while, it shouldn't be acceptable.
Can you imagine if every so often one of the robot dinosaurs in Jurassic Park actually ate a person.
Best believe they would never be a sequel.
In fact, forget Jurassic Park, they would cancel Barney. It's like, yo, get that thing away from the kids. It's too risky. Look, people, this is a mistake
that never should have been made. It's a life that never should have been lost. And hopefully,
hopefully, it's a tragedy that never happens again.
All right, when we come back, we'll talk about the Democrat, who's president, and Anna Kendrick is joining me on the show. So don't go away.

When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.
This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.

Like none of this stuff gets looked at, that's what's incredible.
I'm Seth Done of CBS News.
Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Let's talk about the Democratic Party.
The only thing more dysfunctional than the HBO Max app.
Right now, Democrats in Congress are fighting over which parts
of President Biden's agenda are most important to keep.
Is addressing climate change,
more important than expanding paid family leave,
is free pre-K, more important than free college.
Should every American get okay health care,
or should one American get super amazing health care that makes them immortal?
And the reason they have to make these decisions is that they need all 50 Democratic senators to pass Biden's agenda.
And two of them are insisting on bringing the price tag down, from $3.5 trillion to about $2 trillion dollars.
And 1.5 trillion dollars is a huge cut. I mean, no one's lost that much money since Jeff Bezos got divorced.
And it's kind of weird that there are two senators who are okay with spending $2 trillion,
but not a penny more.
I mean, what's the difference between $2 and $3 trillion?
People don't even have calculators that go that high.
I mean, like, once you're six digits past boobless, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, itless, it's all imaginary money anyway. Now, the two senators standing in Biden's way are Joe Manchin,
representing the great state of his houseboats, and Arizona senator,
Kirsten Cinema, seen here on a diplomatic trip to Margaritaville.
And while Manchin has been pretty clear that he'll support the legislation as long as
it saves West Virginia from the ravages of clean air and water, pinning down what Senator Cinema wants has been a lot harder to figure out.
Democrats hope to pay for the roughly $2 trillion package by increasing taxes on the wealthy
and big corporations.
But one key holdout, Senator Kirsten Cinema is not on board with that.
One of the big challenges for Democrats in this final stretch has been that they don't
really know where Senator Cinema stands because she hasn't the th is the the th. th is the th. the th. thi is the th.. th is the thi is the thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thioli, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.a.eeeeateeateeateat, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi, th final stretch has been that they don't really know where Senator Cinema stands because she hasn't made her views public.
She is the the sphinx of all this. Nobody can figure out what is making her tick.
That's right. Kierston's cinema is the sphinx of the Senate, partly because nobody
knows what she's thinking and partly because she won't give anyone the bathroom
key before answering her riddles.
Ah, nice try, Kirsten, but I'm just gonna pee in my pants.
Bah!
And you know, it's weird that in the Senate withholding information can actually give you power.
Like what other job can get away with that?
A waiter doesn't become more influential by refusing to tell you what the specials are. Excuse me, sir, what are the specials of the day? Ooh, wouldn't you like to know?
Okay, are you guys ready to order?
But maybe to figure out what cinema wants,
you first have to understand who she is.
So let's do that.
Let's get to know Senator Cinema and another installment of,
please allow me to introduce yourself. Kissin Cinema was born and raised in Arizona, which is already tough.
I mean everything there is trying to kill you.
The animals, the heat, even the plants are covered in daggers.
But Cinema's childhood was especially tough.
She grew up poor and at times her family was even homeless.
But she overcame those obstacles. She got an advanced degree and became a lawyer,
a social worker, and an activist. It's the kind of story they turn into an inspiring movie
that you swear you'll watch once it lands on Netflix and then just never do.
Basically, she was the kind of person you'd hope would run for office, and then that's exactly what she did.
would run for office, and then that's exactly what she did. Cinema first started out far left of Center as a Green Party activist, entering politics
in Arizona as a Ralph Nader's supporter, organizing anti-war protest after the September
11th attacks.
The states are the laboratories of democracy, and in my state, Arizona is clearly the meth lab
of democracy.
She fought against the same-sex marriage ban.
She fought for the rights of immigrants.
She spoke out about mass incarceration.
She fought to include gender identity and anti-discrimination laws.
She led a successful effort to kill a ban on affirmative action,
and she strongly opposed abortion restrictions.
Tea Party Republic is all the same thing.
It's so crazy. Kierston Cinema once invited a coven of feminist witches to protest the
Iraq war in 2003. Yeah that's right. She once brought witches to protest the
Iraq war, which to be honest does not seem like the best use of their skill set. I
mean if you got witches on your side don't waste them on a protest. You get them
to cast a love spell between George Bush and Saddam Hussein you know rarely thi things up. And by the way way way way way way way way way way way th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho th tho tho the way way way way way tho tho tho- tho- tho- tho- tho-a tho-a tho-a tho-in tho-a' tho-up tho-up tho-up the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. to-s. to. to. to-s. to-s. to-a-s. to-s. thoo-Idam Hussein, you know, rarely spice things up.
And by the way, it's funny how it was specifically a coven of feminist witches.
Because I mean, that seems redundant, you know, like saying emo vampire.
It comes with the territory.
I mean, are there any witches who are not feminist? Call me old-fashioned, but it's the woman's job to push the children into the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their push the children into the oven. But yes, it can be hard to believe now, but Cinema started her political career as a hardcore progressive.
So you might expect that the reason she's holding up the Democrats' legislation
is because it doesn't turn America into a socialist paradise, with free health care, free education,
free milk made from nuts you've never even heard of.
But that's not the case. Because as young
cinema star began to rise, it also started drifting to the rights.
Her politics began to shift as she sought higher office.
After winning her first congressional campaign in 2012, she joined the Blue Dogg Coalition,
a group of centrist House Democrats. Cinema, who once doggedly fought for immigrants and refugees as a social worker and attorney,
chose to side with Republicans in voting to block undocumented immigrants from receiving
stimulus checks.
And with her assent to the U.S. Senate, she attempted to take over the late Senator John
McCain's mantle of Maverick, opposing abolishing the filibuster and voting against raising
the minimum wage, bucking her party in the model of McCain. Here's some cinema, admits she doesn't like to mention
her party affiliation in her ads. Are you a Democrat? I am. Proud Democrat?
Oh my gosh, it's hard to say proud. I don't know that I'm not sure that people
are even proud of parties anymore because I feel like the parties are not doing a good job. Oh damn. She talks about the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the like the parties are not doing a good job. Oh damn.
She talks about being a Democrat the way a person talks about owning an Android phone.
Hi, I don't actually like it.
I'm just on my mom's family plan.
Yeah, it's not like my phone.
And look, changing views, especially political views, that's totally normal.
A lot of people, when they're young, are idealistic and have passionate beliefs. But as they get older, they decide that their most passionate belief is not paying taxes.
What's unusual about Cinema is that she shifted so far, so fast.
I mean, she went from hosting witch covens
to denying immigrants health care in just a few years.
It's almost like she got bitten by a radioactive Ted Cruz or something.
And what's interesting is that as cinema's politics became more mainstream,
her personality picked up the slack.
Hereston Cinema becomes the first woman ever to serve as senator in Arizona.
So it's a very big deal. She's a three-term Congresswoman. She is a triathlete.
She broke barriers coming to Congress as the first out bisexual member,
but it's never part of her identity that she's dwelt on.
Even telling reporters when asked back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back. first out bisexual member, but it's never part of her identity that she's dwelt on.
Even telling reporters when asked back in 2005, duh, I'm bisexual.
It's safe to say the U.S. Senate has never seen anyone like her before.
She's made quite the presence with her colorful wigs and bright outfits.
Her unique and edgy style, from this F-off ring to her colorful wigs to this dangerous
creature shirt she wore to
preside over the Senate floor.
Breaking the internet.
Good.
All emphasizing her non-conformist core in both style and substance.
Yep.
Cinema rolled into Congress like she was a senator from Candyland.
And honestly, this might be my favorite thing about her. I mean, I love a senator who shows some style, you know, especially in a place where all these guys think rolling their
sleeves up six inches is a glow-up. I think it's nice to see one of them
looking like they didn't just grab whatever was available in the Senate's
communal suitbucket. It's a change. So that's Senator Kirsten Cinema, a
once committed progressive who now changes her political beliefs like their wigs. And who knows?
Maybe her most core belief is getting as much attention for herself as possible.
But regardless, this is bad news for Joe Biden.
Because his only hope is that she suddenly changes her political views back as fast as she
changed them the first time.
And I don't think she's going to do that.
Or at least she's not going to do it on her own.
So Joe Biden, you might want to get those witches back together.
All right, when we come back, Anna Kendrick is joining me right here in the studio.
You don't want to miss it.

Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.
I'm Seth Done of CBS News.
Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17.
Welcome back to the Daily Show.
My guest tonight is an actor, an executive producer,
and she goes by the name Anna Kendrick.
She's here to talk about her HBO Max series Love Life.
Anna Kendrick.
Hi.
Welcome to the show.
Thanks so much for having me.
I said you go by the name of Anna Kendrick, but I mean, that's a really weird way
to put it. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. to th. to to to to the thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the name the name the name the name. And she the name. And she the name. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she. And she. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And the. And the. the. the. too. too. too. toe. to to to to to to to to to to the. And she goes the. And she's really weird way to put it. Well, I think sometimes it's like, you know what it was? I think I was listening to like some hip-hop before you came out that that go, you know,
like people and people will say that, I go by the name.
And the name of, yeah, and I am very hip-hop.
That's what people think of when they think of me.
That is the thiiii's thin thin, that's that's the the heart because Times Square, Broadway, like this was the beginning for you, wasn't it?
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean I guess I was mostly thinking about coming back and like,
you know, no audience, whatever, that's sort of looser and there's like a nice
vibe to not having a live audience, but yeah, time square is well this area the first job that I ever had I was gonna
say in New York but the first job I ever had ever was a yeah it was a Broadway
show I was down on the street I was 12 yeah 12 yeah well yeah I was okay when did.
When did you get the Tony when did you get the Tony it's possible that like I was
nominated when I was 12 and then by the time the ceremony had happened I turned 13 or something like that I'm I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the the the the the th th the th th th th th th I the th I th I th I'm the th I'm th the th I'm the th th th th th was th was th was th was th was the the the the th was th was th was th was th was the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was th was the. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee was thee was the was the was th was th was then by the time the ceremony had happened I turned 13 or something like that. I'm not sure, I don't remember actually. I mean that's still pretty impressive.
Yeah, that's pretty young for all that, all that noise.
Do you, yeah, that's actually a good question then.
How did you avoid the child's star trap then?
How are you normal?
Well, that's think theater
For better and potentially for worse. I'm not sure a theater
Like asks a lot more of its child actors like there when you go on I mean, you know, you've been on film sets right? Yes, that's the there's a there's a funny. It's a very pampered yes, yes, that's the old. It is all kind of fake because they just don't trust you to not to to to to to to to to to to to to th you the the th you th you th the th the th th th the th th th the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. t. t. t. t. t. te. te. te. te. te. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.. And it's all kind of fake because they just don't trust you to not run off.
Like it's not that it's coming from a place of like, genuinely we think you're so wonderful.
It's just coming from a place of like, we don't trust you to go to the bathroom and not get lost.
So we have to take you there, you know, that kind of, but, but, but, but,'m at the top of the pecking order and when I was doing high society when I was 12 there was a
day that I kept forgetting my line and like in front of everyone the director
was like well we're gonna cut that line if you forget it one more time and I
did and they cut the line so it was very like okay yeah that's the total opposite of like work ethic like obviously that was that that that that that that that was that that that that that was that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that's a little too humiliating, but generally speaking it was just like
you're gonna be here, you're gonna rehearse all day, you know.
Do you miss it?
Yeah, every time I go and see a show, I'm just like, I'm so green with envy that like I'm not on stage and it's just like such a magical experience.
Okay, but do you, are you able to like totally shut up? So sometimes what happens to me is if I'm thia I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. ally shut up so sometimes what happens to me is if I'm watching a show like let's say stand up I spend half the show thinking
about like what I would have done or like how I like the joke I see it coming I
don't see it coming I don't see it coming I don't see it coming I don't the
broad way are you just like huh I wouldn't have done the note that way interesting well I do that with film to film you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you the the the the the the the the the the the the th I I I I I I I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I mean I mean I th th th th th th th th th that I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I that I that I that I that I th th th th th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th th th th th th th th the I the the the the thi thi thi the thi thi the thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi watch. Yeah, just with stand-up. But so I end up doing that with film and television and then with live theater,
but I think, and I wonder if this is the same for you with stand-up, that the true test of
like how great it is, is if that part of your brain shuts camera that way. Like think of it on a steady cam? I don't know, that's a choice. But when you're just not thinking about that at all because you're so engrossed in
the material. So the same thing will happen with Broadway through then. Okay, so when
you're just like so engrossed. Let's talk about your show. Let's a lot easier for me to talk about season two. What does that mean? Because I'm not the lead of season two now so I get to
just be like you guys the show is so good. It's so good. So you're saying
before you wouldn't want to talk about it because you were afraid that it's
like oh I'm so good? Well I can't be like the, of course I wantthink the show is good, but it's like a lot easier for me to just unabashedly be like, you guys, the show is so good.
And William Jackson Harper from The Good Place is so great on this season.
Like it's unbelievable.
And Jessica Williams, yes.
Yes.
Is electric, electrifying.
I've never seen you speak about yourself like this.
Well, that would be weird.
No, I don't think that would, that would be weird. No, I don't think it would be weird. Sorry, there's a siren going by. It's Times Square. But like, no, I don't think that would be weird at all.
I think, like, maybe, let me think.
Maybe you should add like an S to your name,
and then be like, it's Anna, you know, she's talented, but she's kind of a lot.
I don't know, she's not for everyone.
But you know what I loved about this show is like season one was, I will say this, it surprised
me because it was like the nicest show on HBO Max. Let me start with that.
So like a lot of the stuff on HBO Max is like, suicide squatty.
Yeah, I love it. It's funny. It's dark. And then this was I was like, oh, is this is gonna be like a is this dark? Is this is like,
Yeah. I was like, this is like this is very friendly. This is this I was not expecting that from HBO Max. Yeah, no it is like it's a very kind of like approachable. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And thr. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this is. Is this is. this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is. Is is. Is is. Is is. Is is. Is is. Is this is. Is this is. Is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this. Is this. Is this is this is this. Is this. Is this. Is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is you were laughing the entire time, there's an episode later in the season
where like the three kind of guy friends
end up on this camping trip.
And that episode is, I think my favorite episode
because it is, it really, really gets into the brutality of heartbreak.
But it's so funny.
It's like three guys on mushrooms in the woods. And it's so funny, but you're the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their is their is their is there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's their is is is is is is is is is their is is is their is their is their is their is their is their is like three guys on mushrooms in the woods. And it's so funny, but you're still getting all of that like catharsis of watching somebody go like,
God, like love is this fundamental human drive and it just tears us apart.
But you know, to be able to be like really laughing while you're exploring that is amazing. I would love to know before I let you go, you know, your character Darby, we wen, like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th, th, th, like th, like, like th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. I would love to know before I let you go, you know, your character, Darby,
we traveled through so much with her.
It was like, oh, here we are.
We got to relive moments of her life, obviously.
And so it's like, you know, the young love,
the new love, the getting married, then it's like, oh, your ideas on love changed or been shaped by
the show in any way? Is there something where the material has made you think
like, huh, I wonder if I see love differently or have you shaped the show
because of how you see love? Oh that's really, well yeah that's really
interesting because I, the first season, a couple of things, like a lot of
that first season was personal experience and in fact I was like we have to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the tha tha the thu thu. thu. thu. thi thi thi thi the their thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, thi, their, their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thr, thr, thr-s, throooooooooomea'. th. theat, theat, theat, the. their, their, their, a lot of that first season was personal experience and in fact I was like we have to change some of these details so that I don't get some angry phone calls.
But there was one episode in particular that I went to the creator and when I got the
script for this particular episode and was like we need to change some more details.
This is way too close to my real life and he was like, we have noted about this. This episode, we didn't consult you on this thing.
And I was like, so actually the most close to my life was the thing that I didn't talk about.
And that was, that's the crazy thing about season 2 is that I'm going like, it feels just as personal
and it's like none of it's drawn from my actual life. And so it feels almost like, actually there was another thing where I had never had
an experience quite like the one that Darby has and then since the show has ended,
I have had that experience.
And you know, so it's like this kind of weird road map or like sometimes it feels like
the show is like my personal psychic
or something so I don't know yeah I guess it's that you know that that
that constant question of is life imitating art or is art imitating life
that's probably why people love the show because it connects with
people there are moments where you feel like you're watching a real show
if that makes sense but it's just like it's a show that connects it's a show that makes you laugh and then when it stops you like oh yeah I was
watching a show I wasn't just watching my friends so that's what people love
about congratulations on season two I love that thank you it's gonna be to be.
