[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] a new guide -- any travelers here, any frequent travelers? [ cheers ] you must travel a different way than i do, based on your enthusiasm. a new guide for airport security urges agents to look for whistling, recently shaved beards and excessive yawning. which i guess explains why i saw two tsa agents frisking each other. you know what hurt that joke? i said "friksking" instead of frisking. who knows if it would have worked? but it definitely didn't help. [ laughter ] then i went with "friksking." this is frisking, this is friksking. you know you're in trouble if they start friksking you.

so, i want to make sure she catches this. we have had such a fun time these last couple weeks. you know, it's ncaa tournament. we're down to the final four. we here at "late night" developed something where we picked 64 random objects, things, and we put them in a bracket. we've had people voting online these last two weeks in the "late night" tournament of things. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: guys, it has been very exciting. i want to thank everybody for voting. we are down to our final four. let's see our first. cirrus clouds, i think. who are they facing off against? oh, they're facing off against the note b flat. [ laughter ] cirrus clouds, of course, beautiful clouds. and then just before you vote -- band, can i just hear real quick -- can you give me a b flat for the people at home voting? ♪ beautiful note. [ laughter ] sounded like an a sharp, marnie. maybe? is it -- what? >> no, it really is.

>> seth: you think a b -- you're telling me a b flat and an a sharp are the same thing? [ inaudible ] gotcha. well, keep your politics out of the show, all right? [ laughter ] what else? oh, this is a real good showdown. in the other category -- the other final four, we have bellevue, nebraska, versus mason jars. all right. now, here's the thing, we picked a tiny town of about 50,000 people in bellevue, nebraska. and what we didn't realize is, of course, unlike mason jars, where no one really has -- feels strongly about them, bellevue, nebraska, obviously has people who live there. they've done very well in the tournament because -- but here's the thing. this tournament was supposed to be about friendship, about joy, about love, and we're very disappointed because the city of bellevue tweeted this today. here's a photo. you can see two police officers arresting a mason jar. [ laughter ] that is just not cool, you guys. that is not what this is supposed to be about. so, look, if you -- bellevue nebraska, if you feel like

they're playing by the rules, go ahead and vote for them. but if you want to help those poor mason jars, you can go ahead and vote for them too. we're going to have the results -- i have no idea when. anyway. [ laughter ] could be months, could be next year. probably monday, though. so, anyway, make sure you vote. you guys, we have a great show for you tonight. ludacris is here. [ cheers and applause ] i can't wait to talk to him. also stopping by, star of the new show, "daredevil" on netflix, charlie cox. [ cheers and applause ] he's a great actor. i cannot wait to talk to him. and we'll have music from dead sara. [ cheers and applause ] very excited about that. now, it's that time of year, and in recent weeks, there has been a great deal of speculation about who's running in the 2016 presidential election. one politician who keeps getting asked her intentions is massachusetts senator elizabeth warren, which brings us to a new segment we call, "will they or won't they?" ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: now, warren has been very hard to pin down in regards

to her 2016 intentions. here she is being her usual evasive self on yesterday's "today show." >> now, you didn't think you'd get away with this interview without me asking you point blank, are you going to run for president? >> no. i'm not running and i'm not going to run. >> seth: vague much? [ laughter ] i'm sorry, senator, but we're going to need a little more clarification. >> are you unequivocally and categorically saying, "i'm not running for president in 2016?" >> i'm not running. i'm not running. >> seth: which is it? [ laughter ] get a straight answer out of her, savannah. >> possibly i'm beating a dead horse here, but did you ever even consider entertaining the possibility of running for president? >> no. >> seth: i guess we'll never know. and by the way, later on the "today" show, hoda and kathy lee literally beat a dead horse. but before you judge, it was part of the "dead horse" challenge to raise money for pediatric cramps. [ laughter ]

but that firm "no" from warren is hardly in line with answers she's given in previous interviews. take a look. >> so, there's no way you're going to run in 2016? >> i'm not running for president. you can ask it lots of different ways. >> seth: okay, we will. [ laughter ] >> are you going to run for president? >> i'm not running for president. >> there's nothing that could change your mind? >> david, like i said, i'm not running for president. >> if hillary didn't run, you might give it a shot? >> i am not running for president. >> i just want to ask one question because people raised this about you. they say you constantly say you're not running for president. does that mean you will not run for president in 2016? [ laughter ] >> seth: ooh, good question, charlie. "you constantly say you're not running for president. does that mean you will not run for president in 2016?" >> i'm not running for president. >> seth: is elizabeth warren from belgium? because she sure loves to waffle. [ laughter ] [ applause ]

in all seriousness, at this point, elizabeth warren might have to be the first candidate to make a not-campaign poster. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] with that said, we can't entirely blame the media for not taking "no" for an answer as even democratic groups like moveon.org continue to urge warren to run. hey, moveon.org, take a hint. your name is "move on." [ laughter ] if you ask a girl to prom this many times without a "yes," they would ask you to transfer schools. look, i get the enthusiasm to try to get a new name in there. if this ends up clinton versus bush, it would look less like an election and more like a historical reenactment. but we can't be mad at her, she's still working for us. she's a senator. she's not saying "no" because she wants to take a year off and backpack around europe. so, while i appreciate the media's need to incessantly ask these questions, we have to remember that just because someone is a politician, doesn't mean we can't take them at their word. case in point, the 2006 barack obama interview.

>> so, you will not run forpresident or vice president in 2008? >> i will not. [ laughter ] >> seth: all right, we have to keep asking them. you have to ask him all the time. we'll be right back with more "late night."

[ cheers and applause ] you had a northern irish accent. how do you go about doing a northern irish accent? >> well, it's a tricky one. and again, that was another audition situation. because in the initial audition, they said dublin. then, when i -- the day before the audition, i got news sides and it said belfast. and i had a heart attack. because for me, for us, that's a completely different accent. >> seth: whereas the most of us, we'd think -- >> well, when i went in there -- [ laughter ] >> seth: you got purple clovers, right? >> when i got into the screen test and i said -- you know, they were all -- all the bigwigs are there. and i said, you know, is that,

after the first take, i said is that more accent-wise and they kind of went -- yeah, no. >> seth: they didn't know. >> whatever you did before is great. to me, it was completely different. >> seth: how do you, when you heard -- when you had dublin and then you heard belfast, like, how did you -- were you sort of adept enough at the differences in an irish accent? >> i play football with jamie dornan. >> seth: okay, sure. >> jamie dornan is from belfast. >> seth: so, "fifty shades of grey" jamie dornan. >> yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: we can work with that. >> and you know, we play football. and it's a bunch of actors who only turn up when they're unemployed. >> seth: got it. >> so, when someone doesn't turn up, you're like, where's he? [ laughter ] >> seth: he's doing very well for himself. >> yeah, and so jamie turned up one day and i was there. and i said i had this screen test for it, and he kind of went -- i'll record my lines for you. >> seth: so, he recorded the lines? >> he recorded the lines for my screen test, yes. >> seth: so, you were list thing to jamie dornan, which i'm sure women all over this nation are

doing now. >> yeah, exactly. i still listen to it occasionally. >> seth: why not? why not? [ cheers and applause ] how do you -- when you -- do you have to do that when you're doing an accent? do you have to stay sharp on set? >> i find accents really difficult. i have to work really, really hard. one of my best friends, ned gamble who's my flatmate in london, he can do accents like anything. so, it was actually helpful living with him for a while. i have to work really, really hard. i have to work with people. one of the things i found quite helpful bizarrely is i find, i go to the area. i go find a podcast from a church near the area where i'm trying to get the accent. because priests, when they're doing their sermons, they obviously have to sound conversational, normal speaking. but they also need to be understood. one of the problems doing northern irish was on my first day on set, i think i went too far with it. people were like, yeah, but it needs to be english. [ laughter ] >> seth: so, do you record -- you're just on set listening to podcasts? >> yeah, so i get in the trailer in the morning.

i put the thing in my ear and i got to know it so well, so i repeat the phrases and it's about god. >> seth: sure, yeah. most of them are, yeah. >> that was quite amusing. i was aware at some point after like the first four or five episodes that there was a couple people who'd come up to me and just kind of talk to me about the sermon on the mound or they mention, you know, the gospel according to matthew or something. and i was like, oh, yeah, that's cool. [ laughter ] and then i realized they thought i was serious. >> seth: right. you're walking around doing sermons. >> yeah, just walking around and saying, "and jesus said to the disciples --" [ laughter ] >> seth: well, now they're going to think a totally different thing if you're doing jamie dornan. prepare for the shift. thank you so much. i'm so excited for the rest of the show. >> thanks for having me. >> seth: charlie cox, everyone.
