[ laughter ]

[ cheers and applause ] because once it's a pattern, joe, i have to take away the frisbee. [ laughter ] so rob ford -- you guys maybe have heard about rob ford.

[ laughter ] making phone calls is not the worst thing you've ever done. the situation in ukraine continues and now nato is disputing russian president vladimir putin's claims that he withdrew forces from the ukraine border. while putin is disputing claims that ukraine's border actually exists. all i see is russia, baby. [ laughter ]

russia, russia. that's russia, this russia. when you play risk, the board game risk, in russia -- it's really boring because it's just russia. [ laughter ] so whoever picks first -- they just win.

14 new species of dancing frogs in southern india. but when the scientists showed them to other people, the frogs hid their top hats and just sat there. [ laughter and applause ] before people showed up, it was incredible. [ laughter ] this is a little weird. a 67-year-old australian woman claims that she's been abducted by aliens more times than she can count. though in fairness, she can't count. that might explain it. this is amazing. a 90-year-old man who was arrested with over 200 pounds of cocaine in his truck was sentenced to three years in prison. so life. [ laughter ] life in prison. [ cheers and applause ] another way you could say it. this is just bizarre.

an icelandic chef has created several pates and desserts made of fly larva. so if you were looking for a reason to go to iceland, keep looking.

[ laughter ]

i don't think that. i just sometimes worry they think that. but what i wanted to ask you is -- are you indeed, have you indeed organized a parade for this weekend? >> fred: yes. [ laughter ] of course i have, yes. >> seth: great. >> fred: it's the freckles parade. [ laughter ] >> seth: the freckles parade? >> fred: yes. >> seth: okay. >> fred: people with freckles are going to have a parade. and they're just going to sort of march down 8th avenue here in new york. >> seth: okay. >> fred: and it's just for like just one short block. so they'll be sort of -- [ laughter ] >> seth: so what block is it? >> fred: it's between 42nd and 43rd on 8th avenue. >> seth: on 8th avenue. >> fred: so they'll start and then they'll turn around and come back again. [ laughter ] >> seth: right. because one block seems short. >> fred: yes, and also to gain momentum and everything. so there's gonna be music and everything, and it's just -- >> seth: i just -- because i'm basing this off parades i've seen. >> fred: yes. >> seth: okay, and again, i'm sure you've thought this

through. >> fred: i have. >> seth: it seems, as you get to the end of the first block, if you turn right back around you would then walk into the people that are coming right behind you. >> fred: right, there's that. but there's still, if you pivot around fast enough, you can make -- there's a steady flow, so that it just kind of becomes a parade. >> seth: now you can't have a lot of people participating in the parade, if you're only doing a block. >> fred: why is that? [ laughter ] >> seth: well, you can't have more than the amount of people that would fit in one block. >> fred: that's not true, because there are people waiting to get on to the parade. >> seth: i see. [ laughter ] >> fred: so that can still happen. i mean, there's people waiting to get on. they'll be happy and everything. and then they start just doing the march. and it's sort of 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.-ish. [ laughter ] >> seth: so this is a ten-hour affair. so, at any point -- which day, saturday or sunday? >> fred: it's saturday. >> seth: gotcha. so any point on saturday from 9:00 to 7:00, i can go walk on and say, "look at that block" and just see people with freckles, just a wall of people with freckles? >> fred: you should. it's a parade. [ laughter ] >> seth: and again, i'm not

saying that people need to organize parades based on who they are. you are not a man with freckles. >> fred: no. >> seth: what led you to think that there should be a freckle parade? >> fred: they're not honored enough. [ laughter ] you know, they're our history. there should be an honor to it. >> seth: they're history? >> fred: yeah, the history of people with freckles going all the way back, you know? >> seth: so they honor -- so the people dress up like sort of historic figures? >> fred: yes. it goes all the way back. even, you know, to the first caveman with freckles. [ laughter ] you know, people in the renaissance who had freckles. >> seth: i gotcha. different time periods. >> fred: and also today and the future -- of the people, you know, futuristic people with freckles. [ laughter ] >> seth: now it's making sense this is ten hours. because it seems like you're covering a lot of time. >> fred: yes, yes. >> seth: and so it's called the freckle parade. and the last thing, and i know you think these through. did you get the necessary permits? [ sighs ] okay. fred armisen, everyone. the freckle parade. [ cheers and applause ] 9:00 to 7:00 on saturday. fred, one thing that no one can doubt, that i'm very excited

about, i'm sure you're excited about it -- will forte is coming on our show next tuesday. one of our favorite people. [ cheers and applause ] will forte. a long time colleague of ours at "snl." and what's extra exciting is will is going to be the first person to participate in what we're calling here at "late night," "second chance theater." where we are going to stage a sketch that will wrote for "saturday night live" that we never aired. we didn't even take it to dress, to be honest. so this is the most that's gonna happen by far. [ cheers and applause ] it is a sketch called "jenjamin franklin." and i will take responsibility for saying that when he wrote it back in the day, i took the position that we probably shouldn't do it on the show. so i am kind of making up for that bgiving him a chance to do it on this show. so we look forward to that. and will is truly -- we were sort of reminiscing about will, over the excitement of will coming on the show and telling our favorite will forte stories. one of which is tuesday nights at "snl," everybody stays very late to do their writing. some people stay overnight, and one of the things that happens around like 10:00 or 11:00 at night is people start ordering

delivery food because they're so hungry. and one night will was working with a writer named eric slovin -- a very funny comedian, a great writer. and eric had ordered food, and it hadn't come for like two hours. and eric was very grumpy, very upset about this. and he was sort of complaining about how irresponsible it is to not deliver food in a timely fashion, and how ultimately society crumbles when you can't count on delivery. [ laughter ] he was in a terrible mood. he was getting a headache from not having eaten. and finally, after two hours, an intern came in with the food, and went to hand it to eric. but will took it, opened the window and dropped it out. [ laughter ] of this building. of this giant building. now, we work on the 17th floor at "snl." at the 15th floor there was a ledge. like there's a ledge, so it didn't like fall down -- like, this story doesn't end with a passerby getting killed by delivery food, like an omelet. but that's the sort of thing that will would do at the show,

and why he was so beloved, and why we cannot wait for "second chance theater." so do not miss that on tuesday. "jenjamin franklin" finally sees the light of day. [ cheers and applause ] there is no jenjamin this evening, but we've got a great show for you tonight. the star of the new movie, "million-dollar arm," jon hamm is here.

[ laughter ] so, i went to the first time -- i went into hair and make-up at "snl," they immediately measure your head because you have to wear wigs. and they want to have a mold of your head so all of them fit. i asked the nice ladies -- i said, "honestly, i've got the biggest head ever, right?" and they kind of -- because they measure it all. they said, "no." there was one guy who had a bigger head. >> seth: in the history of the show? >> in the history of the show, who had a bigger head than me. want a guess? >> seth: i -- no. >> okay.

like a whole hal 9000 kind of thing they could do. >> seth: well, that's true. [ talking over each other ] so, it's probably going that way. >> i'm stoked. [ laughter ] >> seth: i know i texted you this as soon as it happened. you had the greatest line reading on the line "okay" in the history -- for people who watch "mad men," you said "okay" to end an episode. that's not a spoiler because you don't know what it's referencing. >> no, no. >> seth: but it's the greatest read. did you know after you did it? you were like, "yeah." >> well -- [ laughter ] maybe. i don't know. i can always tell when i'm awesome. >> seth: right, right. [ laughter ] >> i did actually get another text from another person who is a famous tv critic that i know who said that, for him, the line reading of the year from me was when i was calling somebody and i said "no, i haven't even been drinking that much." [ laughter ] it was sort of fun for don draper to say. >> seth: so "million-dollar arm." this movie is based on a true story about a sports agent who tried to find cricket players in india to be major league

pitchers. >> essentially, yes. the big idea was that they're going to go to india, a country home to over 1.5 billion people. and that we figure that the odds are such that there's got to be two guys that can probably bring a fastball 90 plus miles an hour. and this guy went over there and made this sort of reality show, television show kind of thing and did it. found these two guys. one of whom plays for your adopted team, the pittsburgh pirates. >> seth: yeah. >> he's still in their organization. >> seth: that's so great. >> i'm doing a lot of press for the film now. i'm actually going to pittsburgh. i get to go on sunday to -- i'm actually in town for the freckle parade too on saturday. >> seth: oh, great.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> seth: thank you so much for being here. >> you're welcome. still kickin'! >> seth: still kickin'. and thank you for bringing your signature look. >> wow. [ light laughter ] >> seth: when you have a signature, you got to bring it -- >> that's my look. >> seth: you have been -- you've interviewed so many historical figures over the years. but you made a little bit of your own personal history recently. you took your first selfie with brooklyn decker. >> i did. >> seth: i have a photo. this is very exciting. you had never taken a selfie before, and you locked one down. [ laughter ] whose idea was the selfie? >> her's. she's big into selfies. i have no idea. so when we finished, she said, "let's do a selfie." so i thought she was referring to something else. [ laughter ] no. >> seth: yeah. >> thanks. and it turned out, she whipped out this thing, and then she says to me -- [ laughter ] excuse me --

[ cheers and applause ] and then she said to me, "listen, i like -- i like to do faces. [ laughter ] so let's do a face." now, i'm caught up in this. i'm in this new world of the internet. i got this great show going. it's in its second year. i thought i could retire. and here i am. i'm thinking of all the people i've done -- presidents, the like. and i'm standing here with this beautiful woman, who's named brooklyn. i was born in brooklyn. so i felt an attachment. [ laughter ] and she says, "make a face." so i made that face and she made that face. and it went viral. [ light laughter ] >> seth: right. that's great. >> so i, you know, i thought i had a fever. [ laughter ] >> seth: well, congratulations. you -- again, because you've interviewed, like we said, over 60,000 people from world leaders to people like -- >> including you. >> seth: yeah. you've interviewed me. but someone like snoop dogg, who you've interviewed, you actually -- you've become friends with. >> i love snoop dogg. [ light laughter ] no, he's a great guy.

great father, great -- he supports so many children in the los angeles area and playing football. does pop warner league and he just constantly smokes pot. [ laughter and applause ] so the trouble with snoop dogg is, you don't have to like pot or be addicted to pot, if you're in his company, you become addicted because the flavor is everywhere. >> seth: right. [ light laughter ] >> and he has this strange car. i took a ride in his car once. it does bumps. we're riding in the car together down sunset boulevard. he's smoking, i'm getting high. [ laughter ] it was weird. >> seth: i, you know -- i only wish well for you, but i do also kind of wish you guys had been pulled over. [ laughter ] just so could you make this argument of, like, when you're with snoop dogg, you don't have to smoke pot. [ light laughter ] >> good idea. >> seth: yeah, there you go. if that ever happens. on sort of the other end of the spectrum, you interviewed the dalai lama recently on your show, and he made a little news with something he said about gay marriage.

>> yes, he favored it. i was surprised because most religious leaders or people of that kind of esteem, especially from other countries, tend to be against it. so i was surprised that he was for it. he's a wonderful man. he's in exile. he's the head of the state. china doesn't want to go near him. but he has this wonderful little air about him. he has a wonderful personality. and it's always nice to say, "hello dalai!" [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah, that's very nice. he also has a pretty good sense of humor. i heard he sort of made a joke about you or at your expense, i should say, afterwards. >> he did, yes. >> seth: do you want to tell us what -- >> well, my wife was there. and my wife is younger than me. we have two boys, 15 and 14. without viagra. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i'm a hero here! >> seth: yeah. your kids will be happy to hear it as well. [ laughter ] >> the dalai lama looked at her and he looked at me, and he looked up.

and he said, "oh, beautiful daughter." [ audience ohs ] then he apologized and he kissed my hand. [ light laughter ] >> seth: well, that's nice enough. >> life in the big leagues. >> seth: this -- you've had all these run-ins with these people, but you had a literal run-in when you were younger with jfk. >> yeah, this was a -- >> seth: i can't believe this is a true story. >> an absolute true story. you couldn't invent this. i broke into radio in 1957 in miami. we were making $50, $60 a week. and a bunch of us, four of us, early 1958, decided we had never seen palm beach. so we'll take a ride up to palm beach. i was driving. i had a beat-up old convertable. me and another guy, two guys in the back. it was sunday morning, 10:00. a beautiful, quiet sunday morning in palm beach. and i'm driving, and we're looking at the homes. fantastic mansions. i look over, and suddenly there's a guy parked in a car, in a convertible. and i'm going about ten miles an hour and i hit him. i hit him. we're the only two people on the road.

[ laughter ] so he gets out of the car and he goes like this. "how could you? how could you hit me?" so i said, i'm sorry. you know, i was looking up at houses. i apologize. i said, do you want to exchange licenses or something? we got two little bumpers. he says, "no, i want all four of to you raise your hand." he said, "i'm senator john kennedy of massachusetts. i'm going on run for president in two years. i want you all to swear you'll vote for me." [ light laughter ] we voted for him. >> seth: that's great. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> the truth is, you never think anything of it. i forgot totally about it until, of course, the '60 election and the rest is history. >> seth: that's great. well, you've had an incredible career. and i will just say, on behalf of myself and everyone here, i'm so glad it's still going. it's so great that you're still doing these shows. >> thank you, seth. i've never felt better.

♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: our next guest is a soloist at the american ballet

theater and her memoir, "life in motion: an unlikely ballerina," is on bookshelves now. please welcome misty copeland. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> seth: our first ballerina. we cannot tell you how excited we are. >> i'm excited, too. ballerinas need this kind of recognition. >> seth: this is good. this is good ballerina exposure. >> yes. >> seth: now, one thing you talked about in your book is you started very late in life for ballet. most ballerinas get discovered when they're very young. and you were 13. >> i was 13. >> seth: so, how does that happen? >> that's ancient for a ballerina. i only trained for four years, which is unheard of, before i was accepted into american ballet theater. yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: absolutely. how did they find you when you were 13? >> you know, the whole thing started with mariah carey.

>> seth: okay. most do. most things do. [ laughter ] >> i naturally had a love for music and moved to it. like, i didn't want to sing. i didn't start singing when i heard mariah carey. i wasn't competing with that voice. >> seth: right. >> but i wanted to move. so, that's kind of how my passion and love for dance started. and i speak about it a lot in my memoir. that that was really an escape for me. i ended up not finding real dance classes until i was 13. it was at my boys and girls club. and that's where it all started, on a basketball court. >> seth: that's great. [ cheers and applause ] and now, i'm fascinated by -- because you are -- you know, you're both an artist but you're also a professional athlete. what is the day of a ballerina like? like, what is your -- because it's a very regimented schedule. >> it is. thank you for acknowledging that. because most don't. the hardest thing i think to hear as a ballerina is, "oh, that's so cute." and i'm like, "if you only knew

what it took to look cute." [ laughter ] it's really rigorous. you know, i saw these nfl cars outside and i'm thinking to myself, like, these are hardcore athletes. but i don't think they could handle what we go through on a daily basis. >> seth: yeah, i bet they couldn't. [ cheers and applause ] nor would anyone want to watch them try to handle it. i think that's also important. [ laughter ] >> you know, we start class at 10:15 every morning. we take a ballet class every single morning, no matter how long you are a professional for. that's how you maintain your technique and just kind of stay on top of your game as well as warm you up for the rehearsal day. and i rehearse from 12:00 to 7:00, five days a week. sometimes without a break at all in between there. so, i was rehearsing and they let me off a couple hours early so i come here. >> seth: to come here? that's great. but you have to make it up tomorrow. they made it very clear. you have to make it up tomorrow. >> but it's very strict. you know, it's -- compare it to like the army or something, just the way ballet is structured. >> seth: now, you do a lot outside of ballet, other than writing this book.

you work the boys and girls club of america and you just joined president obama's fitness council. >> it's insane, yes. >> seth: did you get to meet him? >> i did. separately from that, i just found out that i have joined the fitness council, but i am an alum of the boys and girls club, as well as shaun white who was there with me when i met the president. i am the ambassador for the youth of the year program. >> seth: okay, gotcha. >> and shaun white was with me. we were with a group kids from the boys and girls club. and we were outside of the oval office. and i was pretty busy the entire day doing stuff for the boys and girls club. so i didn't even have a chance to stop and get terrified about meeting the president. so we're standing outside and i'm like, "oh, my gosh. he's about to open the door." and that's when i started getting butterflies. [ laughter ] and he opens the door and i'm like, wow! he's tall and he's striking. and then he turns to shaun white who had just cut all his long red locks off and he said, "you

cut your hair, brother!" [ laughter ] and i was like, the president just said brother! [ laughter ] >> seth: thank god shaun white didn't. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] now, my last question, and this is very important. there are times when you're on the ballet stage as a ballerina where you're not dancing. do you talk to other ballerinas when someone else is dancing? >> yes. >> seth: you do? what do you talk about? >> you know, it depends on what the role is you're doing. but this is -- i've been a professional now for 13 years. we grow up with these dancers. but there are times when, you know, we perform so much. our season opens monday at the metropolitan opera house at lincoln center. and we're there for two months straight. and we're performing almost every night. and you know, sometimes you get a little bored. and you may be sitting on the stage and you're watching someone working their butt off and you're back there like, "what should we have for dinner tonight?"

[ laughter ] >> seth: so, i guess if there's any takeaway from this, it's that ballerinas are people too. >> we are people. [ laughter ] >> seth: thank you so much. misty copeland, everybody!
