[ laughter ] so. ha ha, very funny. i put my -- i t her credit card and money, the money i spent on dinner, in an envelope and i messenger it to her apartment. assuming that then she'll messenger my credit card back. but instead all she does is she texts me a photo of her holding both credit cards and the money with #upperhand. [ laughter ] then yesterday i get my credit card bill. and i look, and like, i felt bad about having two meals. she checked into a hotel with her whole family. [ laughter ] like, an expensive hotel. so, i say this on the show last night. then she texts me, "haha is that true about the hotel?" i'm like, "how can you not remember this?" and i said, "but really, you

have to send me your credit card." and she goes, "well, let me send you this to tide you over." and she sent me this picture today of her in beverly hills with my credit card.

>> where do i start? well, you know, like the opening scene, seth and i are having relations. and we, you know, but i'm in a full kind of frock and like dress. and seth's like naked. so there's really nothing i can complain about, because he's the one -- >> seth: he's naked as much as zack is. >> he really is. >> seth: he really is. >> for better or worse. [ laughter ] and i love seth. i think he's great. >> seth: hey, he might be better for all we know. >> yes, exactly. come on. but yes, it's all in. everybody's all on board for the raunchiness of the film. >> seth: now, being from australia you probably didn't know as much about greek life and the idea of fraternities. >> i really didn't. i had to do a lot of research. you have beer pong. >> seth: you didn't know about beer pong? >> very new. >> seth: it's funny, because i just sort of think australia is like, almost like a fraternity of countries. it's like -- >> the ultimate. >> seth: it's the fraternity. >> an ultimate fraternity. >> seth: i pledged australia. >> we're always the last at the bar.

>> seth: yeah, that's true. but, i guess in america -- in australia you don't need a game like ping pong to help you find your way to drinking. >> exactly, no. we just need sundown and everybody knows it. [ laughter ] yeah. no, it was very educational. we don't have like, yeah. we don't really have that fraternity culture so it was interesting. >> steh: and now zack efron, i imagine when you shoot with someone like zack efron, tons of screaming girls. tons of paparazzi. >> paparazzi constantly. just packs of them finding him. and he was, as i say, topless a lot so money shots going on constantly. and they looked very disappointed when me and seth came out. cameras down. [ laughter ] >> seth: i remember like people in my early years on "snl" when nobody knew who i was, i walked the red carpet. they would just politely hit the flash but not the camera. [ laughter ] like, they'd just like point it off and just like, oh, send off a flash. [ laughter ] >> that's sounds more insulting. >> seth: it's more insulting. yeah. >> that's just like, come on. >> seth: and also, this is true. i went to peru with alexis, you know my wife alexis. >> yes.

>> seth: we went to peru for our honeymoon. and when we were in peru, so was zack efron and our hotel was like filled with screaming peruvian girls who just were waiting for zack efron. and we could walk in and out and nobody would even turn their heads. [ laughter ] and at one point we were walking into the lobby and all these screaming girls, and just as a joke to alexis i go, "well, they must not get "snl" here." and the guy behind the desk goes "no, we get it." [ laughter ] again, you don't need to -- >> you can't win. >> seth: yeah, yeah, yeah. >> that's once again very insulting. >> seth: so we have a clip from the very funny movie "neighbors." and i think we should show it. >> all right. >> seth: all right. let's take a look. >> is that a balloon? you find the balloon? >> that's not a balloon! oh [ bleep ]! [ yelling ] >> all right. your baby has hiv.

is how bad this could have gone. [ laughter ] the condom was unused. >> you can't say that to a couple of parents! >> ma'am. okay. okay. chill out. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: it's so great. so great. rose byrne, everybody!

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> seth: welcome. i'm so happy to have you here. >> likewise. you're very kind. you have a lot of pencils.

>> seth: i do have a lot of pencils. i sort of have an obsession and it's a little weird. >> how much writing do you do? >> seth: not enough. i think that's really showing how little writing i do because they're all still there. >> wow. okay. >> seth: i haven't gone through many. >> you could you get some notes done. >> seth: i can get notes done. if you see me scribbling, that means somethinghas come up that i feel like i have to say something about. >> fine. >> seth: now this movie is great. it's very dark. it's very claustrophobic, it's futuristic. >> this all says box office. [ laughter ] >> seth: congratulations in advance. >> well, thank you. i'm just waiting to collect the check. [ light laughter ] >> seth: that's why you get into dark and futuristic. >> i mean, who doesn't like this when they want to cash in some buck? >> seth: now, how do you approach a movie like -- you shot on abandoned estate. >> that's right. yes. >> seth: so how does the cast -- >> the glamor quotient is going up. it is an abandoned business estate in wokingham. which is an hour outside of london. people are already drifting off into a coma. >> seth: right. [ laughter ] >> and it was, yeah, all shot at night. everyone went slightly crazy and

we documented that in the film. >> seth: that's great. speaking of slightly crazy, i would imagine you needed that had for jesse, because jesse plays two different characters with two distinct personalities. directing must be incredibly hard when you're doing that. >> well, it's less hard than the job he had to do. which involves actually doing itand acting which i have no aptitude to do for. so really it was just me watching him and going, "wow, you're really good. [ laughter ] >> and okay, now do the other one. yeah. you're really good at that one as well." [ laughter ] >> seth: you're really underselling what you do as a director. >> the easiest job onset. the director, don't even -- you have no complications. literally, all do is say what you like, which i was doing before. at television and to strangers, often. and you literally just do that. you just say what you like and then you're a director. [ laughter ] >> seth: that's great. i think you just inspired a lot of kids to get into directing.

>> yeah. i think this is like the first velvet underground concert. >> seth: yeah, exactly. not only do you get to do all these things you get to go to wokingham or wherever it was. >> you get to go to wokingham. >> seth: is that right? >> that is right. there's going to be a blue plaque there soon. and that's a cultural reference that fall on deaf ears. >> seth: yes. now we have -- we have for you here a clip. we have for them, not for you. you've seen it. >> yeah. i've seen it. >> seth: but this will show us -- these are the two, jesse's two characters. >> yeah. this is the first time that jesse's character who is vry meek and mild meets his more assertive doppelganger. >> seth: all right. let's take a look at a clip from "the double." >> what about this? >> what do you want? okay. no, sorry. i'll just have a coke and a bagel. >> we're out of bagels. >> right. then, um -- right. i'll just -- >> come on. >> right. sorry. i'll just -- i'll just -- i'll just have the coke then, i guess. >> a coke. and you? >> a coffee.

>> and a coffe. and scrambled eggs. >> we don't serve breakfast in the evening. >> why not? >> because it says so on the menu. >> well, do you still have eggs here? >> yeah. >> and do you have a frying pan? >> yeah. >> then do me a favor and make me some scrambled eggs. [ laughter and applause ] >> seth: very good. i like that too. and i feel by saying i like that i'm a director. >> yeah. exactly. there's nothing more to it than that. >> seth: now i have to talk -- we talked about this briefly backstage. in 2001 i was at the edinburgh fringe festival performing. you were also there performing with a show called "garth marenghi netherworld." >> yes. >> seth: which was a show that won the perrier, which is the highest award at that festival. >> it's the only award as well as the highest. [ laughter ] >> seth: it's the only award. yeah. so that's good though, too. >> yeah, it's okay. >> seth: it is a very hard show to explain. it then became a television show. >> which was equally hard to explain. >> running for one season. >> seth: one season. but i -- one of my favorite seasons. >> and a season in england's six, so that's like nothing. you're making six shows tonight, probably. >> seth: this is our sixth show tonight. >> it's like, after midnight people are still watching tv? >> seth: well -- >> it's incredible.

>> seth: barely. [ laughter ] >> seth: barely. the pencil represents everyone who is watching. >> yeah, okay. [ laughter ] that's good. that's more people than have ever watched anything i've done. >> seth: "garth marenghi" was a fascinating show. real quick, if you can, try to explain the television show for us. >> um, it is about this incredibly pompous horror writer who felt that he had made the best show of alltime and it was canceled before it came out. a prescient thing of what actually happened. and, um, it's rediscovered and he decides the only way to really understand the show is for him to tell you what it's about in the middle of the show and interrupt it. and the show he makes is like a hospital drama, but all the doctors have guns and there are ghosts and it is quite violent. i can't see why it didn't do better. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. >> it is so like e.r. and yet -- >> seth: 'cause it was a show -- it was on, what, 2004? is that around right? >> yeah. yeah.

the ten-year anniversary parties are being held as we speak. [ laughter ] in a way, there is some traffic on the way in. i think it was a parade. >> seth: it was a marenghi -- there was a marenghi parade tonight. i feel like you associate yourself more, or identify yourself as a director. you were also a performer on this. you played the producer of the television show who is also an actor on it. >> yes. that's right. and who's a very bad actor, so it was not a stretch. >> seth: it was -- his was a very bad actor, but you a it's a performer have incredible verbal dexterity. i have a clip of you -- this is you performing as a terrible actor in this haunted hospital television show. >> okay. >> this is "garth marenghi" a show everyone needs to see. let's take a look at a clip. >> cool it, sanchez or you'll get a knuckle supper. look douglas, you're an excellent doctor, but you're also a live-wire maverick who when he's not bucking the system is biting the hand that feeds. which in your case is this hand. now i'm not about to tell the immediate family of the deceased that we're going to have to burn what remains of his body in order to close the portal to another dimension. i just won't do it! this hospital's got a reputation which i intend to keep. i've yet to see any demons on

the ward, and i'm particularly observant. so go back to your lab and make me a pill that can cure madness, or i'll kick your ass so hard, you'll be able to build a pool in the footprint! understood? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: i'm sorry, you give jesse eisenberg a run for his money. >> well, you know. all i can say is thank god keifer isn't here anymore otherwise he'd just be embarassed. >> seth: yes. i think that you as someone intimidating are far more intimidating than keifer sutherland's ever been. >> i think so.
